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
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 quoth mpoe-pr : "pr is being right. packaging is secondary."
mircea_popescu: i never heard of a company that size which managed to avoid getting political.
mircea_popescu: ya, sure, in the sense the dutch slave transporters were humanitarians
mircea_popescu: making them illegal will pretty much be mpex's largest lobby effort in the future, im pretty sure.
mircea_popescu: electronic devices where the buyer isn't the root user should be illegal.
mircea_popescu: this crap needs to die. apple, amazon, the whole shebang.
mircea_popescu: Amazon Kindles today already track bookmark usage patterns which they relay back to Amazon on via its wireless Whispernet.
mircea_popescu: i know there's people who use them to pass mpex stuff from cold to hot machine
mircea_popescu: govt is a pointless expense and high skilled techs have no business playing the employee anwyay
mircea_popescu: other than govt and high skilled tech jobs there's no hiring.
mircea_popescu: yes but that just means chronical unemployment is becoming unamangeable
