jdanks:
mircea_popescu: jdanks so what is this valley ? << seems like a hippie commune for BTC only everything. I can't imagine how we would pay for our power or electricity but it seems like the guy behind it all wants to teach children the importance of engineering, electronics, and crypto, through having a whole town run/get paid in BTC or other.
X-Rob:

skinnkavaj:
mircea_popescu: Hard to take anyones word seriously, I can only judge by the flock of bitcoin developers in #monero-dev, I am not trusting 1 guy named jl777 that he will create a "Supernetwork" while he also have created 50 other altcoins.

BingoBoingo:
mircea_popescu: This seriosity criteria is not my own, merely repeating the the 'Murican criteria
BingoBoingo: <
mircea_popescu> "Types of payment We currently only accept MasterCard, Visa, and American Express credit cards for payment." << You have to realize "credit card" now is often used to refer to the various prepaid arrangements of dubious value

mircea_popescu: people just wanna blame someone or something else anyways, eg. the joo
pete_dushenski:
mircea_popescu: perhaps you can, perhaps i can, perhaps other cannot
pete_dushenski:
mircea_popescu: can you normally tell what's wrong with you, if something's wrong, and what food item was the cause, if you're sick ? << hilarious when people get food poisoning, blame it on last meal they ate, ignorant of bacteria with >1 week incubation periods (e. coli, listeria, etc.)
pete_dushenski:
mircea_popescu: i was keeping up until the 16 hours of flights and subsequent catching up with people/work

BingoBoingo:
mircea_popescu: I was hoping some people might try to guess the extent of the injuries. I dun think this late in the season it really affects his MVP chances. Dude has a solid lead on that.
BingoBoingo: <
mircea_popescu> are us folk really that poor ? << Cash averse. Love their plastic
RagnarDanneskjol:

mircea_popescu> you know what wash trading is ? /// still happens quite obviously in btc exchanges
kolinko:
mircea_popescu: will go and read about it
ThickAsThieves: <+
mircea_popescu> anyway, ThickAsThieves The Strategy of Conflict, old book. /// will check it out
ThickAsThieves: <+
mircea_popescu> kolinko no. the system can break itself, too. it doesn't need a mustachioed antropomorphised enemy. /// glad to see you say so, it's a point often missed in many circumstances. for example, some want to paint USG as a hyper conspiracy and assume all its evil/scammy actions are fully intentional. More likely, it just evolved to be a broken shit in all corners of its

fluffypony:
mircea_popescu: well Bitcoin's solution to the problem is to use SHA2
jurov:
mircea_popescu: so you send bad block to everyone at once, yes?
fluffypony:
mircea_popescu: yes - but that's a capex cost, we're discussing the opex cost. At some point in the future when there actually are ASICs I suppose a ratio could be shown that includes the amortised cost of the hardware over time or something
dub:
mircea_popescu: there's also the problem of motivating a guy holding a stick to charge at muskets

Knot_Yeti: pahaha
mircea_popescu old the notion
decimation:
mircea_popescu: I guess I'm talking more about 'thrashing' - allocating and deallocating memory without care
X-Rob:
mircea_popescu: yep. It's unusual for my main rig to be idle for more than 6 hours or so.
X-Rob:
mircea_popescu: Sonic Screw Driver. Tor-based coin. Technically interesting.
X-Rob:
mircea_popescu: I think he's referring to me being at estimate * 1.25 on leaserig.

mircea_popescu: No, actually, you're not. I think I ended up charging you about 0.1btc over estimate
X-Rob:
mircea_popescu: I have no idea. It just stopped giving me work
