mircea_popescu: all the theoreticians of btc as commodity will have a serious problem explaining this so far pretty consistent behaviour
mircea_popescu: yeah. course you can sorta gauge that from the betlist
mircea_popescu: i kinda forgot all about it lol. soon after glbse imploded and etc
mircea_popescu: jurov forum was more a joke thing. it was never open registration, so it wouldn't make too good a support venue
mircea_popescu: either sign with the addy or show the deposit slip issued by mpex.
mircea_popescu: understand, anyone watching mpex addy can claim any rounded sums
mircea_popescu: smickles it's not proof that the same person actually sent the 130
mircea_popescu: problem is, the addies that signed are not the addies that sent the 130
mircea_popescu: smickles so basically, it's not a signature or anything ?
mircea_popescu: smickles well i have no idea, seeing how neither party gave any input. random pick
mircea_popescu: <topace_> i think a lot of people foolishly think that the crazy up luck month of december will continue << actually december wasn't much off ev was it ?
mircea_popescu: i have no clue about mining, but i've managed projects before and i'm inclined to suspect that probably there are.
mircea_popescu: and the question is, are there asumptions baked in (or even burned into silicon)
mircea_popescu: the ideea is that both will go up by degrees of magnitude (like, one or two every year)
mircea_popescu: Korbman there are two factors here : hash speed and average block size.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla> i got rid of all my gear except for single moded ztex runing 260mhash, ill just put it on solo and check in 10 years << tbh, if i mined i'd solo too.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, you actually have to somehow get the data you're hashing
mircea_popescu: topace_ now multiply that 1.5 mbps with 100 because 2.5th won't be too rare by the time blocks are 1gb
mircea_popescu: that's a good comparison i thought. bw is an important limiting factor for miners.
mircea_popescu: "Unless I misunderstand something, having 1gb blocks would pose significant problems for pretty much all miners, and would not be necessarily trivial to handle on asics designed with 1mb/block assumptions in mind."
mircea_popescu: they just saw their connection die and reloaded, ending up back on
mircea_popescu: what happened here was that their server died, and this was reported first to the irc network and then to the clients linked to it.
mircea_popescu: pigeons you can pick the server if you want to, just bypass the dns
mircea_popescu: clients on either side of this split see clients on the other side as netsplit.
mircea_popescu: clients connect to servers. servers sometimes lose connections to each other
mircea_popescu: i guess she'd have been taken out and shot if she worked for anyone else
