williamdunne: At least its marginally less important when
the kit arrives in some circumstances
than with bitcoin mining
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: mebbe you can
trade
that astonmartin for an 'elbrus'
pete_dushenski: for all
the bitching about usg chip diddling in
this place
ascii_field: first one here
to grab one, please write in.
pete_dushenski: but hey, if
this
things are cool enough,
they're not exactly 'unobtanium'
ascii_field: at any rate, for what it is - 4k usd is not an obscene bag of benjies; but i have doubts
that you can get
these 1) in onecies 2) for anywhere close
to
the manufacturer's retail cost
pete_dushenski: ok so not exactly wrapped in an amazon box and shipped
to your door
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: iirc you gotta have a physical agent
there.
ascii_field: offered
to 'russian incorporated entities only'
ascii_field: rather
than
the quad cpu rack mount
thing from earlier link
ascii_field: one of
the
things glaringly missing from even
the costliest x86 mb is a means for connecting
them as
tiles
pete_dushenski: ok, so is similarity
to 'origin' a positive step or a mark of failure ?
pete_dushenski: but yes, is
this elbrus isn't sufficiently magical,
then it makes as much sense as buying 10,000 apple watches
ascii_field: but
to go
to original point,
there is nothing magical about ru cpu (esp. a sparc clone, almost certainly built from 'opensparc')
ascii_field: to
the end
that
thread re: whether 'we' will buy something is really a
thread about whether mircea_popescu might buy something, and ought
to be labeled correctly
☟︎ pete_dushenski: except excluding mp from
this consideration is like excluding air from discussions of breathing.
ascii_field: williamdunne: if you exclude mircea_popescu, i doubt we can get 10,000 plastic forks between
the lot of us
williamdunne: Are we gonna be able
to get maybe 10k units between us?
ascii_field: pretty clear from
the www
that
they aren't selling onceies
mike_c: you should put quotes around stupid crap like
that
williamdunne: There are ways of doing similar
things in a usable and optional fashion.
williamdunne: That depends on
the function you are going for. SSL doesn't serve as a way
to verify each party and obviously has some contentious
things going on with cert authorities.
williamdunne: That assumes mainstream acceptance is
the goal.
williamdunne: > However, I find it unlikely
that an exchange with such a high up-front fee just
to participate will ever find mainstream acceptance.
danielpbarron: letting anybody with 2 cents
to rub
together
trade on margin
danielpbarron: such a
thing may be what caused
the great depression
williamdunne: MPEx did pioneer many
things in Bitcoin derivatives and
they deserve credit for
that. However, I find it unlikely
that an exchange with such a high up-front fee just
to participate will ever find mainstream acceptance.
☟︎ williamdunne: thestringpuller: PGP over HTTP is not necessary when using SSL (HTTPS). Signing and encrypting with PGP is a nice way
to bypass using authorization
tokens,
though, but it is not usable in a modern exchange interface.
Trades on MPEx are very slow as a result.
pete_dushenski: "The Server Elbrus 4.4 is a four-socket affair and four of
the machines fit into a 1U chassis. Gigabit ethernet, SATA and plenty of PCI slots connect it
to other kit and
the rest of
the worlds."
pete_dushenski: "The CPU is otherwise unremarkable: it packs four cores, but
they stroll along at 800 MHz and are built using a 65 nm process."
pete_dushenski: "The Elbrus 4c used in
the PCs and servers is said
to support
two instruction sets: very long instruction word and SPARC."
danielpbarron: "But what if one of
these government backed exchanges start working with a huge leverage using fiat as its backing and not bitcoins?" << start? isn't
that
the SOP?
danielpbarron: bitcoinquestions,
to which link are you referring?
bitcoinquestions: Came
to post
this link, but you beat me
to it. OP
take
the
time
to read
this. Derp. << Do you feel
the comment is pointless because OP is likely a bot etc.? Or do you feel
the article is irrelevant
to
the matter at hand?
☟︎ williamdunne: thestringpuller: It also has
the most
thorough implementation
williamdunne: thestringpuller: I know, although its not really used much by
the people in question
williamdunne: Would be
tragic for
the NSA
to lose out on
that valuable data
williamdunne: thestringpuller: Not
the first exchange
to add PGP support
thestringpuller: i like how mpex is completely ignored in
the GPG discussion. "Ignore
the guys with
the nukes and
they'll just go away."
☟︎ cazalla: bit of a disgrace considering bruce fenton of
the bitcoin foundation has change
tipped fedora'd me a couple
times
cazalla: just had a bit more
time sunk into
this account
cazalla: not exactly news or bragworthy, like
the 5th
time i've been banned from /r/bitcoin
cazalla: i rarely submit qntra
there anyway
cazalla: you can call people niggers but don't
tell people
to kill
themselves
cazalla: the /r/bitcoin mods fkn banned me
the cunts :\
mircea_popescu: Came
to post
this link, but you beat me
to it. OP
take
the
time
to read
this.
cazalla: if i was a chick, i'd be
top 5 mfc easy
cazalla: to borrow a line.. in other news, 75% of
these women on MFC are fucking useless camwhores
cazalla: davout, dunno what
to make of it, he retweets a lot of qntra stuff despite his bitcoin foundation history
davout: jon matonis on
the qntra itbit piece "Market-based legitimacy will always
trump any flavor of institutional or political legitimacy. Bitcoin outlives political institutions."
cazalla: yup, so if you don't want
to have spam sent
to your inbox or want an address
that is shared, it's useful for
that
davout: weird
they'd pick
that
davout: ic, and
the username is
the email username i
take
cazalla: davout, mailinator is one of
those disposable email services
that anyone can check if you give out
the username
davout: cazalla: "but at
this
time
that inbox is empty" <<< can you read it?
mircea_popescu: pround member of
the "things
the voices in my head
tell me are real" internet liberation party
mircea_popescu: "Most news sites you see on
the internet are just one guy writing under multiple names. Writers are expensive.
This wouldn't be
the first site
that does
that nor would it even be unusual.
cazalla: i could really go for some of
that chicken right now
cazalla: i dunno, sorta like micropenis guy claiming 4-5 of his would be just as good if not better
than a 10" eh? :P
