agath: I didn't meant to buy it, it was just a statement!
Diablo-D3: agath: yes, but I cant buy pyramining on glbse
mircea_popescu: haha, i was half thinking i'll get one myself. just for the decor.
Diablo-D3: infact, I basically cant avoid gettting mhash from bfl
smickles: there mircea_popescu, i gave @mostofmany a user pic
Diablo-D3: I dont
mircea_popescu: i thought you don't do bfl
mircea_popescu: if DeaDTerra was doing it himself... yea, i guess, maybe.
mircea_popescu: i loathe this "partner" business.
Diablo-D3: however, its enough that I, deadterra, and usagi believe that they're more likely to succeed than bfl
mircea_popescu: and my risk appetite is low atm, so. i didn't get into it.
mircea_popescu: i have my doubts about the entire thing strictly because i don't know the peiople and it's china based.
Diablo-D3: I know what they did now, but Im not sure if I can repeat it
mircea_popescu: ya i was saying, here we are doing otc-mining
agath: and anyway I think that it has no meaning to discuss about this here.
agath: Anduck: yes it might, my design should require 0.5W / GH @ 65nm (simulation only, it might be different), and I can't say too many details
Anduck: i pretty much say it's quite impossible
mircea_popescu: jesus god this is an insane convo. "i can make cars for X usd." "ok, how many". "thart depends on the type of car".
agath: yes I already asked some quotes ..
agath: I didn't want to know, I know it already, I was just commenting
Diablo-D3: I came in the middle of this
agath: I am not part of asicminer, neither bfl
Diablo-D3: I did?
Diablo-D3: EskimoBob: even if I do, Im not handing them over
Diablo-D3: I dont have $150k laying around
agath: I already told you I'm not looking for funds
agath: mircea_popescu: I don't intend to sell this, and I also don't search for investors so I don't need to tell you details about it... I just wanted to tell you that it's not so much complicated as it might seem, if you know how to do it.
mircea_popescu: "o, the talk host is the hard part but if you're talented like i think i am it doesn't matter that it's a de facto monopoly and nobody will run your shitty show"
agath: sorry I was meaning $150000
mircea_popescu: i showed him what stupidity the 150 bucks claim is.
mircea_popescu: so agath, i pay you 150 bucks you're going to supply me with an infinite ammount of mysql on a chip, 130nm process
EskimoBob: I thought those are absurdly expensive. Ques what, not at all
EskimoBob: I started to look for a CCD chip
agath: I am not related to BFL .....
mircea_popescu: $150 ? I don't think so.
EskimoBob: I did look at the thread but I can show you funky images too and tell: this is a ASIC or what ever :)
agath: I'm working on an ASIC project too, it's not easy but not complicated either...
EskimoBob: I guess it is nothing like real CPU
EskimoBob: he has some type of prototype and I guess this gets somehow transformed to a real chip "something" and then they can print like mad.
EskimoBob: if those guy pull it off, it will be cool but I have no idea how complicated it actually is do design a ASIC chip for btc mining. Can just 3 guys do it like that?
EmanuelDeOrtego: LOL 2012-08-17 21:33:36] < random BS&T investor > i'm starting to think quitting my day job in favor of btcst wasn't the best decision
mircea_popescu: that'd be a few millions, and as far as i know the highest market cap in bitcoin.
projectshifter: i didn't realize investments were really going on with btc until the other day
projectshifter: interesting. i feel like i'm missing a piece of how a regular company could take in btc investment capital and what makes it appealing over traditional forms
EskimoBob: mircea_popescu: I bet you have never even seen a trading floor
mircea_popescu: EmanuelDeOrtego i'm from the floor trading days. he's from the deep south, i reckon.
projectshifter: lol, i was wondering if a regular business could successfully take investment capital from btc
Cylta: projectshifter: i did not see anything non-bitcoin-related there
coingenuity: mainly cuz i dont want competition or cross-interaction with my bot
coingenuity: i think it's annoying
BTC-Mining: and I'm off for the day
BTC-Mining: It was mostly an anonymous operation, I don't think he would... I know I wouldn't mind people being cautious in that situation.
kakobreklaa: 09:19.07 ( EskimoBob ) I managed to get out of OBSI.1MHS with a 70+% profit.
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining if i were pirate and honest i'd mind.
EskimoBob: can any of you look at the log and send me the conversation around the line: "I managed to get out of OBSI.1MHS with"
mircea_popescu: kakobreklaa actually i have been buying in the 2-4 range.
mircea_popescu: <BTC-Mining> If it goes up, I'm worth more. If it crash, it's an opportunity to stockpile more <<< exactly.
BTC-Mining: But I'd make a request to MtGox right away and not wait a week just in case.
Lucidize: nefario I sent a support email about hidden bids I cannot remove. Do you have time to help me now?
BTC-Mining: First the guy gets a lot of ratings on small transactions... then he gets more trust from reputable member with some unkown "high yield venture"... Now after getting so much trust, I hear he opens accounts to public... then right after he close operation, huge sale on MtGox, and he says to wait a week and he'll reimburse...
BTC-Mining: As far as I'm concerned, those invested in pirate should complain to MtGox now and not wait a week.
BTC-Mining: If it goes up, I'm worth more. If it crash, it's an opportunity to stockpile more
Diablo-D3: I know that
kakobreklaa: some even above 13.5 even though i was late
kakobreklaa: i sold at bunch of different prices
BTC-Mining: Went to work and when I was back...
BTC-Mining: I couldn't sell in time =/
BTC-Mining: I'd prefer a massive drop
kakobreklaa: i see btc is still left with some value
copumpkin: why am I still awake
copumpkin: usagi: I am still awake!
mircea_popescu: aite, i'm out.
smickles: i'll spam -otc with i
mircea_popescu: well i put something in my faq on the subject
smickles: oh yeah, mircea_popescu, about the stupid. I'm open to changing my mind based on a good argument or funny-but-true analogy
smickles: if i were tackeling such an issue, it would be easier to do it 'in-house'
smickles: huh, now that i think about it
smickles: i wonder how many others
smickles: anyway, i wouldn't consider using GA until i was established and trying to fix 'designe flow' issues
smickles: i'm too lazy to track the movements of the users about the site myself
mircea_popescu: stupidest thing i ever heard from you.
smickles: except if i want to throw googleanalytics on it :(
smickles: and anything that i would do with javascript can probably be done with css
smickles: plus, i ascribe to the notion that javascript is evil
smickles: i'll look
smickles: well, i intend it to look good
mircea_popescu: course i'm the absolute worst person to talk about this with. there's prolly most benefit in doing things EXACTLY like i wouldn't do them.
smickles: i think goal 2 will be either a stoploss feature, or a 'open a position' feature
smickles: i'm thinking one table for Ts and another for Ns
smickles: i file this part in the 'how well'
smickles: http://i.imgur.com/7qUXR.png
smickles: hmmm, mircea_popescu i think i have
rg: ive pulled more out of litecoin in the past 3 weeks than i have from bitvps in 4 months
rg: i dont care
rg: and i cant sell til 005 or 0045
rg: i have a ton of litecoins to sell
mircea_popescu: smickles who says i won't ? :D
smickles: lol, yeah, mircea_popescu, but i'll actually get to the css
mircea_popescu: <smickles> i'll launch after you can safely buy, sell, see your portfolio; but before i get into the css of the webpage <<< spoken like a true mpex alumni hahaha
mircea_popescu: but based on demand i'ma make a larger one when this dies on november 1st
