mircea_popescu: in the photo on rg's site you look like a real smickles.
mircea_popescu: i think so.
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 smickles' stuff is bfl free im sure.

mircea_popescu: lmao
mircea_popescu: i thought you don't do bfl
mircea_popescu: the list of busts in btc is mostly partners. shakaru was a "partner".
mircea_popescu: etc.
mircea_popescu: with partners... that owens guy was a partner, that bitscalper alfredo dude same
mircea_popescu: if DeaDTerra was doing it himself... yea, i guess, maybe.
mircea_popescu: i loathe this "partner" business.
mircea_popescu: but who knows, maybe it works for some ppls.
mircea_popescu: and my risk appetite is low atm, so. i didn't get into it.
mircea_popescu: these can either run very well or very bad.
mircea_popescu: i have my doubts about the entire thing strictly because i don't know the peiople and it's china based.
mircea_popescu: why not ?
mircea_popescu: ya i was saying, here we are doing otc-mining
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 hence the 130 w/e
mircea_popescu: except it's not business.
mircea_popescu: yes.
mircea_popescu: sure, it can be free then.
mircea_popescu: cause he works there
mircea_popescu: o, so basically your partner is sticking your design into an unused space
mircea_popescu: you pay per wafer, buyt you have minimums.
mircea_popescu: wtf. WHAT DA FUCK are they talking about.
mircea_popescu: this is what im trying to pry out of anyone throwing numbers around
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".
mircea_popescu: ofcourse it does!
mircea_popescu: ...
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 how many chips in the run ?
mircea_popescu: possible it is, yes, if you're talking just design costs.
mircea_popescu: ;;ticker
mircea_popescu: agath sa-ti traiasca.
mircea_popescu: so, we're talking money here.
mircea_popescu: look, frankly : there's many problems potentially with a chip design. you have to check for resonances, for all sorts of problems. "a design" anyone can make. one that's valid and has a good rate is expensive. that aside, you have minimum chip runs, and the cost per chip is nothing like the cost per cd or such.
mircea_popescu: agath so your partner. mkay.
mircea_popescu: lol Diablo-D3 has 150k around so he's interested :D
mircea_popescu: did you do an asic run before agath ?
mircea_popescu: myea...
mircea_popescu: lol soz
mircea_popescu: he meant 150k
mircea_popescu: CAUSE ITS A FUCKING IMPORTANT POINT
mircea_popescu: agath how many chips in your run with those numbers ?
mircea_popescu: etc.
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"
mircea_popescu: this reminds me of the kids that are going to start a radio station / a newspaper / etc.
mircea_popescu: sigh.
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure, yea.
mircea_popescu: for the rest of us, asic runs have significant capital costs associated.
mircea_popescu: no Anduck these are magical chips of imagination. they work differently from what you'd expect.
mircea_popescu: he said that 130nm chips cost 150 bucks. just like that.
mircea_popescu: i showed him what stupidity the 150 bucks claim is.
mircea_popescu: is this correct ?
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
mircea_popescu: people don't realise what costs actually are etc.
mircea_popescu: it costs more to buy a used car.
mircea_popescu: $150 ? I don't think so.
mircea_popescu: people tend to think they can wing it.
mircea_popescu: making an asic involves significant capital costs.
mircea_popescu: it's really not as simple as that.
mircea_popescu: EskimoBob not likely.
