smickles: "an actual company", what actualizes
a company?
mircea_popescu: so you put some vaporware above

mircea_popescu: "There are ways to change the way hashes are made to break an ASIC. ASIC is hard wired. It can't change at all. FPGA can be reprogrammed with
a new bitstream. GPUs are the same.
A very minor change could make
a lot of expensive paperweights and would be
a great way to keep bitcoin operating the way it was meant, openly accessible to virtually anyone with everyday hardware, not
a bunch of elites with fancy expensive hardware. It's s
BTC-Mining: solution? Buy ASIC, we don't have
a better technology yet
mircea_popescu: I don't even want them to ship, they're gonna ruin Bitcoins. I spent ~2000$ on quad 7970's, only the cards, and they're planning to release
a "coffee warmer" 3ghs+ ASIC that does more than my cards for 150$? Eff that, difficulty will skyrocket and put
a strain on video card miners.
mircea_popescu: Hi guys, I basically had
a prophetic dream vision last night, that the BFL Labs ASIC won't be shipped until February 2013 at best.
mircea_popescu: lmao that asshat is on
a forum campaign to fud sdice ?
sgornick: For
a two-person side project, I think you can conclude yes, very well.
smickles:
a man,
a plan,
a canal, panama.

a PPT operator please contact me via PM. Thanks
usagi: It's not
a gamble.
Doffx: Well ok, not
a safe bet then to use better wording.
Doffx: At this point its still
a gamble
usagi: Goat is eligible, because he had
a direct account
usagi: He said I am not eligible because I only had
a sub account and goat's PPT
EskimoBob: any ideas what this is all about? "<pirateat40> Notice: If you are
a PPT operator please contact me via PM. Thanks"
smickles: rdponticelli: i'll have
a glass of wine, but i'm talking about kegstands at 100
smickles: like i'll need to throw
a party as anexcuse
smickles: still, even at .003~ that around
a 19% yeild, and seemingly lower risk than other bitcoin ventures i'm aware of
smickles: EmanuelDeOrtego: do you plan to buy at
a lower price?

jcpham: <pirateat40> Cause we have
a ton of pending purchases with either bad pool info or issues with missing tiny amounts of payment.
smickles: i went to
a decent dueling piano dive in florida once, but i was drunk, so it may not have been all that good
jcpham: <pirateat40> Hey guys, payments will go out at midnight for all the purchases run up till today. We are trying to get all the purchases out of the system that need to be run. If you have
a purchase pending or paused please contact us at support@gpumax.com so we can investigate it or issue
a refund. Thanks.
smickles: there's
a glbse asset for gpumax?
smickles: lolwut? how is the republican convention part of the teh democratic process? it's
a bunchof representitives!
smickles: damn, the tampa mayor sounded like
a fascist
smickles: also i just love the consonance of 'charismatic christian claiming', it subtley evokes
a connection the the KKK
smickles: either that, or you are
a charismatic christian claiming, "he is risen"
smickles:
a texas flag shirt and stedsons(sp?)
jcpham: i got confused for
a moment
EmanuelDeOrtego: Yep, the Ron Paul delegates are tearing the Republican party
a new one.
smickles: so i tune in and see
a jew calling on god setup to look like
a nazi
rdponticelli: No, but buying into the profits of
a ppt operation after the whole operations is busted...
smickles: i'm not so sure it was ever
a 'smart' thing to buy into
a ppt
apumpkin: i know i can only play
a little carcassi
apumpkin: it might not be
a problem, the dumasses could save the species
mircea_popescu: the entire thing seems really
a discussion of sterile semantics at best.
mircea_popescu: the entire thing seems really

copumpkin: why is it annoying that zimbabwe had
a dozen zeros after common denominations of bills?
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: that's effectively what people are doing, in an ugly way, when they issue one billion shares of
a company that's worth 100k
mircea_popescu: so then you can say i use fractionary shares in
a fixed-point system with the point fixed at 0
EmanuelDeOrtego: It would be cool if
a company could sell divisions of just 1 share
smickles: < mircea_popescu> then again hathaway is what, 50k or something <<< the going rate for
a share of anne hathaway is only 50k?
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: you have trouble imagining the benefit of it?
a lot of problems become
a lot easier if you more outside of the integers
mircea_popescu: Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK-
A) -NYSE 127,719.98 478.02(0.37%)
mod6: anyone who knows how to trade never would go long on $600 stock when you can buy options for
a fraction of the cost, which gives you the option to buy, but not the obligation
mircea_popescu: do
a split, now you own 100 shares of $1. problem solved.
mircea_popescu: <copumpkin> it really isn't that hard to imagine buying half
a share << what's hard to imagine is the benefit of doing so.
copumpkin: it really isn't that hard to imagine buying half
a share
mircea_popescu: "
A bitcoin" is about as meaningful as "
a barrel of cryptotripes"
copumpkin: but I can send you
a tiny fraction of
a bitcoin if I choose
rdponticelli: <EmanuelDeOrtego> We need
a minimum trade amount.
mircea_popescu: o btw, to whomever it may concern : mpex deposits got rid of the leading digit, it;'s always
a 0 nao.
mircea_popescu: just to register
a buncha domains and point them at polimedia.us/bitcoin
mircea_popescu: anyway, if current grown continues for
a year or so maybe i get .mpex tld
smickles: usagi: you suggest i spring for
a single letter tld?
usagi: s.ex woudl be
a better name
smickles: i'll just have to tweak
a little bit then
smickles: 1 to 100 seems like
a good start
smickles: < bitfoo> yeah, SS needs
a stock-split desperately. (hint hint smickles) << i'll see if there is any objection. Do you have
a ratio in mind?
usagi: Could be the chance of
a lifetime
