Naphex: "LedgerX Gets Google, Lightspeed Backing
to Set Up Regulated Bitcoin Futures Exchange"
danielpbarron: cazalla,
the bitcoin
trader video was
taken down; is it mirrored anywhere?
mircea_popescu: this is roughly like someone purporting
to have an appartment for rent, comes with a "list of forbidden activities" : no opposite sex visitors, no masturbating, no drinking, no playing videogames
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: some derp host obv << "banned software" ? wtf is wrong with
these people.
mircea_popescu: then you use
the extra
to make an exclusive deal with
the supplier and
that's
that.
TomServo: Never did see one in stock
though.
mircea_popescu: well, it would work in
the following way :
those other sites get sold out, you still have a stock.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: I suppose
that would work if
there weren't a handful of other sites "selling" it also.
mircea_popescu: what happened
to "we are sold out. if you want
to preorder it's going
to be $100 extra. if you do not want
to preorder, you can have it when we get it, at a $250 surcharge"
mircea_popescu: <TomServo> 2014-09-09 Note: We have sold out and are waiting on
the next production run batch which will be delivered in a few months. We are sorry for
the wait, but if you pre-order now we will send you a $20 gift certificate. <<<
this is so braindamaged.
BingoBoingo: TomServo: Yeah I was away from
the desk
this weekend, and it
took a bit
to dig
the relevant parts and boil
them
to qntra style.
TomServo: BingoBoingo: Nice work, was hoping you guys would cover
that.
cazalla: punkman: I read "coinscrum" as "coinscrotum" for a second
there <<< you're not
the only one
artifexd: kakobrekla: Where is
that from?
nubbins`: this continued ddosing sure is making it ever-so-slightly-more-difficult
to catch up on happenings
TomServo: asciilifeform: $5k - might as well be $5mil << For a
toy, I agree...though
they have some 'board only' options
that come in
the 675-1100 range.
diametric: asciilifeform: i know a guy
that uses kicad religiously
mats_cd03: 13:34:45 — +asciilifeform wonders whether vendor is 'having problems' - considering
that sdr is
technically banned in usa << hows
that? ham operators have had SDR for at least a decade, no mutterings as
to illegality afaik
TomServo: asciilifeform: Didja check out
the (pricier) options from ettus.com also?
TomServo: 2014-09-09 Note: We have sold out and are waiting on
the next production run batch which will be delivered in a few months. We are sorry for
the wait, but if you pre-order now we will send you a $20 gift certificate.
TomServo: sold out everywhere? < Was my impression also.
Though some sites say
they'll be restocked early 2015
mats_cd03: asciilifeform: i use
the ANT500 mossmann sells with
the hackrf
TomServo: asciilifeform: Is
there an SDR you'd recommend?
mircea_popescu: however, he doesn't hold a large balance, maybe
that's
the first
thing bitcoin foundation can spend on
ben_vulpes: but fiatcorp calls at precisely
this moment, and i must leave ye all for
the meantime.
ben_vulpes: so i've cobbled
together a
testing stack
that builds and boots
this build as I mentioned last night. next
things
that i'd like
to do with it is attach it
to
testnet; and stand up a server non-locally
to run
these builds.
mircea_popescu: alive, yes. standing... hard
to say. shy of politics ?
mircea_popescu: the guy
that made
the recent
tx relay streamline
thing
mircea_popescu: actually, bluematt did maybe 2/3 of bitcoin
testing
to date.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i have one of
those on me local machine
ben_vulpes: and i didn't see any good suggestions re "what is
the output of a 'merge'?"
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: is
the mailing list up?
kakobrekla: game of cuckoo < i once sent a guy
to hospital cause of
that game :\
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform custom pacemakers have been
the norm for not-poor people for what, 20 years ?
jurov: or
they put mandatory crypto for medical devices into law
mircea_popescu: jurov anyway, you should prolly apply,
then you can sue for unfair
treatment
mircea_popescu: Naphex problem being
they also want
to do it for free, but mayhap
there's a solution for
that.
mircea_popescu: jurov: prolly i can be never classified
to work with usg sekrets <<< you saw i lolled at
the "medical devices" part yes ? :D
Naphex: mircea_popescu: aye and much needed, with all
those people wanting
to implement all kinds of solutions based on blockchain data
Adlai: it'll be funny
to see markets between
the same "bitcoin" asset on different blockchains... reminds me a bit of goxBTC
mircea_popescu: "On
the balance of probabilities
this would seem
the most likely outcome, strictly because history unerringly flows in
that direction which most cruely rapes
the “average person”."
mircea_popescu: Yet another one of
them is
that consumers revolt, entrepreneurs intervene, before
the end of 2015
there’s about a
thousand
to a million different Bitcoin forks, each with its
ten million-ish monetary base worth about a dollar, on global average.
The size of
the inter-Bitcoins market,
the complexity and confusion ensuing makes pretty much everything unmanageable for
the “ordinary person”
mircea_popescu: Naphex: a enterprise node, hook into
trusted bitcoin core nodes over P2p protocol. Index and cache
the data <<
this is not a bad idea.
mircea_popescu: chicks
the fucking definition of "here, i found
this model passed out in
the bathroom"
mircea_popescu: actually you'll hear hell from people
trying
to pretend
that
this is
the right way, and pgp is XYZ FUDstuffs even
today.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anon is permitted
to hold copyright by bern convention, actually.
mircea_popescu: <punkman> I've also
thought of signing
the "lite" bundles << seems redundant. sign once, which you do, with
the
tx.
mircea_popescu: the result is a very cruel mistreatment of human soft
tissue.
mircea_popescu: well,
to be generous, it's not
the voice
that's
the problem. it's
the god awful pretense
that one can understand
things by guessing what words might mean "in context"
mike_c: the new
tragedy of
the commons is
that
the commons have a voice.
mike_c: dumbfruit's argument hurts my brain. he is saying
that
transactions are
too cheap and
therefore
the block size limit should be removed?
