mircea_popescu: assbot: "Work sets you free" sign stolen: Dachau memorial robbed. <<< that thing gets stolen periodically.
asciilifeform: box (or mail gate) that swallows signed ascii text. a la turdatron.
mircea_popescu: it seems to be working fine yes.
asciilifeform: signed posts << incidentally, this - plus a dose of wot - is the final thermonuclear pill against spam.
mircea_popescu: punkman: would qntra like to sponsor a WP plugin that accepts signed posts and puts them in editor's queue? << it's not a bad idea on the face but the truth is that the pipeline is too finnicky and too dependent on handwork for it to be useful. yet.
BingoBoingo thinks this is prolly the most qntra piece so far. http://qntra.net/2014/10/matonis-to-resign-from-vessenes-bitcoin-foundation/
asciilifeform: qntra, american malls converting to data centers << obligatory >> http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2011/07/dead-souls.html
cazalla: although maybe BingoBoingo's articles have more appeal to the sophisticated Qntra reader
mircea_popescu: qntra doesn't make the news, it just footnotes it!
asciilifeform a believer in 'last psychiatrist's theorem' - 'if yer reading it, it's for you'
mircea_popescu: jurov: i propose if they don't get claimed in 14 days, then they get loaned to coinbr. <<< i think that's how brokers work anyway, minus the 14 days
BingoBoingo: cazalla: kakobrekla is the audience for everything
kakobrekla: fine ill go back to coindesk.
cazalla: fwiw, i don't think the kakobrekla's and asciilifeform's of this world are the target audience for Qntra
asciilifeform: what would, e.g., herr landau, have accomplished, if he had to occupy himself with teaching arithmetic.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla heads too big, hard to notice.
mircea_popescu: it'd be better than the current pretense of "we invented a new, easier one!"
mircea_popescu: bounce: footnotes are a major break in reading flow [...] <<< here's a tip&trick : hover pointer over footnote mark, there's a tooltip that loads it.
asciilifeform: putting footnotes in there so even the clueless can follow may work ? << lol! what next, footnotes for linux kernel so illiterates can understand? bitcoind? lev landau's 'mechanics' ?
mircea_popescu: bounce: no, it's complete bs. reading time does not depend on wordcount alone. or even taking word length into consideration. <<< seriously guise, this "reading time" thing is poppy.
punkman: where was that link?
mircea_popescu: punkman Sorry, the requested URL 'http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/raw_bundles/1M/1MXeLHi5%00bundle' caused an error: Not found: '/raw_bundles/1M/1MXeLHi5\x00bundle'
kakobrekla: less than half a gram for a persons meal +-
kakobrekla: lucky for us it has a strong taste so you dont need much of it.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla seeing how i didn't pay like 10k for the sauce alone, i somehow doubt there was enough in there then
mircea_popescu: and breaking all the fucking browsers as a result.
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu afaik no. but you need 10 grams to take you out.
PeterL: they are still stuck trying to make their websites look like a paper newspaper
mircea_popescu: and totally bitbet needs moar footnotes :D
PeterL: news doesn't have footnotes because they have not adapted to using the technology yet
mircea_popescu: jurov: mircea_popescu: or i can generate something like 1BTCFund but it 'll take a while <<< eeentirely up to you.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla isn't that if you eat thr wrong part ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c: news flash: news doesn't have footnotes. << i dunno, maybe i'm nuts but imo the current solution to the problem of illiterare population (dumb down the news) is maybe not the best. putting footnotes in there so even the clueless can follow may work ?
kakobrekla: that thing is poison.
mircea_popescu: nah, actually, the timestamping is known to be weak.
BingoBoingo: Oh another "if massive mining power, then this had probably been discussed to death before" attack http://bramcohen.com/2014/11/03/an-attack-on-the-timestamp-semantics-of-bitcoin
mircea_popescu: ahhh that was the best salmon in soffran sauce i ever had.
assbot: Logged on 31-10-2014 04:09:06; kakobrekla: there is only non working code atm so stfu.
kakobrekla: you cant really claim that
PeterL: when I tried to add author i borked it, but now it works again
kakobrekla: ;;rate fivezerotwo -1 >I wanna see if trust list notifications work correctly (next one in a couple of hours)
PeterL: aha, let me know if you get a feed working so I can add it to the bot's list
PinkPosixPXE: hehe nah, I just buy food from the nam's restaurant.. the good ones
kakobrekla: you live in the nam?
PinkPosixPXE: ok, time to finish up some work/be productive, and have some delightful Pho for dinner!
kakobrekla: jurov another boxen is cheaper than that :)
PinkPosixPXE: hehe these vps' are for a few other projects as well, but will also meet my irc needs
jurov: maybe using asciilifeform's blockchain telegraph?
nubbins`: it's as if there's no stopping us ;0
nubbins`: by using the available tools?!
nubbins`: but how will we generate deeds locally and fund the addresses ourselves if deeds.bitcoin-assets.com is down
PinkPosixPXE: I'm actually in the process of migrating off aws to my beefier vps' with ddos mitigation and the works, but just hadn't done so yet.. didn't know mr. micro penis police was going to decide to pull my pigtails while he sits in his mothers basement..
nubbins`: PinkPosixPXE don't knock .net, where else can you combine c-style code with visual basic in the same executable? :D
nubbins`: i bet it was like 1% of xmas traffic ;/
PinkPosixPXE: I also spoke to amazon just in case .. his 'ddos' was pretty weak
kakobrekla: allow me to recommend you a cloak.
punkman: but good point about merkle tree
punkman: nubbins`: lol base58 is the pita to implement
cazalla: punkman: would qntra like to sponsor a WP plugin that accepts signed posts and puts them in editor's queue? <<< it's an idea but i think we keep process as is atm
nubbins`: <@gmaxwell> nubbins`: Change the hash to get rid of the crazy base58 (pita to implement) in the inner loop and make it a merkle tree so the proof can be compact even with many things commited. And instead of using a private key, use a pay-to-contract https://github.com/Blockstream/contracthashtool
jurov: could only get funnier if he hasked to put the ransom note into a deed
nubbins`: imagine paying someone to stop a ddos
kakobrekla: same thing
punkman: <fivezerotwo> 15mpps << wait, all this trouble from 15mbits?
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: See, that's useful. Wet Apartment dust === Spackle
kakobrekla puts more water on the thing.
cazalla: fivezerotwo wants 2 btc to stop lol http://pastebin.com/zYgMgPhU
The20YearIRCloud: I'm having fun with the company though, one day a month I get to feel what it's like to walk around like a drug dealer with $3k-$4k cash in my pocket.
punkman: well this particular one won't take much
fivezerotwo: punkman, yeah, getting PinkPosixPXE's AWS account suspended first, then moving to assets sites
fivezerotwo: upvote this please :)
nubbins`: Bundle 12CJHNrBGLNxLaYbX9NH2tnU1JAeXxByZ6 confirmed in block BLOCKHEIGHT with transaction ID db155b101580cf08c366f6016abe3310a1122f7f67f7303878a7254e854e2689.
nubbins`: [R.1] As established in The Bitcoin Public Record, Deed ID 9ULZPc7yeZ9fQEA1aZ73H6mcv1s2C4gYFAbNTb5urovj,
nubbins`: now there's a [R.1] in the doc w/ no reference below :S
The20YearIRCloud: But, for the time being that's where we are, it's working for us (kind of).
nubbins`: ah for shame, was just about to post the details in question
jurov: ben_vulpes this deed^
jurov: ^ too late
The20YearIRCloud: I wouldn't be surprised to see the BOA want to move away in the next year
nubbins`: jurov in fact, that REFERENCE should be amended to point to the foundation charter.
cazalla: fivezerotwo, you never got back to me
mike_c: biggest risk to your business now is probably being associated with havelock.
nubbins`: <+jurov> the REFERENCES can't be replaced by definition.. why they must be there? <<< heh
The20YearIRCloud: The bank's telling us we should be able to loan a little under $1mm with our current margins
mike_c: great, so keep plugging? you're profitable and don't need more investment. sounds good to me.
fivezerotwo: PinkPosi4PXE, Its stupid to reconnect without a cloak
The20YearIRCloud: Even if they were voting shares it wouldn't change much. Our top 3 shareholders whom account for something like 60% of share ownership are all on the board and agree with where we're headed
fivezerotwo: So we expanded our layer 4 attacking power. Qntra/Trilema, therealbitcoin, bitbet, bitcoin-assets.com... take your pick!
The20YearIRCloud: and a mix of high share price & dividend price shows more of a proof-of-concept to investors
mike_c: well lucky for you they aren't voting shares
The20YearIRCloud: I personally don't, it lets me buy more shares. However I know we have some that want to see high dividends
mike_c: cool. well if you're not issuing more shares who cares what the price is
The20YearIRCloud: I'm looking by end of year under current system to be paying out around 10-14btc/month in dividends if we don't change the setup. Our last month's payment was something like 5btc
The20YearIRCloud: Divs won't actually go down, they just won't go up
The20YearIRCloud: Especially since the banks right now are offering us 1:5 leverage for each dollar we put into the loans, and that's pretty hard to refuse.
The20YearIRCloud: RIght now we're looking at changing the div pay to reflect higher re-investment in the company
mike_c: is the company building up cash or paying out most free cash flow in divs?
assbot: American Malls Converted To Data Centres | Qntra.net
kakobrekla: if i got the command right anyway
The20YearIRCloud: Right now we have about .015btc/share in equity, stock price is well under that though
