PeterL: mircea_popescu: there is no reason under the sun to process, manage, consider or in any way interact with subdollar transactions. << you are going to link min bet amounts to the USD/BTC price now? are you going to have the website show the "estimated $ amount" like the VC circus sites do? ☟︎

asciilifeform remembers very well what ben_vulpes's shop makes, from hanging out at c3.
asciilifeform: i suppose this means that ben_vulpes is also ready to port to supernintendo.
asciilifeform: congrats ben_vulpes
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you're familiar with stan's line about "working on anything not of my own mind is only slightly better than suicide"?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: staff are guaranteed 32 hours/wk, client work backstopped out of my pocket.
asciilifeform: i think i met ben_vulpes somewhere

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in so far as the code is c code and the allocator needs to return contiguous regions of ram, you end up with malloc.
assbot: Logged on 05-11-2015 05:37:58; mircea_popescu: you know this actually sounds rather interesting. why is it that it's not good for us ?

assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 23:46:19; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-11-2015#1316029 <<< i have a faint recollection of the thing being in this "we'll draft it" position before and magically not getting drafted.

assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 18:54:25; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: usg algo is, as i understand: 1) pick a fella who needs to have problems 2) steer known scum to his $thing 3) have it be established that he knows of (2) 4) pick him up as a thieves' fence

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: tricky bit. the folks who mattered (nick t., o. lilienfeld - semiconductor, the lot) weren't u.s. bred
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: very briefly, 1870-1970 or so.

ben_vulpes: funkenstein_: your ip is leaking
asciilifeform: other than - possibly - mircea_popescu's coming-soon thing
trinque: asciilifeform: along the lines of the problems with your node, deedbot- now routinely gets orphans and nothing else blasted at it from various IPs, and will at times not be able to reach the node mircea_popescu gave, though I am not presently certain why
asciilifeform: and for mircea_popescu, https://www.rt.com/usa/320767-sniper-san-diego-police
asciilifeform: but i will also note, when mircea_popescu tells us 'get the everliving fuck out of usa' he has perfectly good reasons for this.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: aside from stoolies, stooges, and other vermin, i elementarily lack the bandwidth to service the demand (and there is now again - demand)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: prolly gonna turn this thing into a gossipd-style whitelisted node soon.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: partly it is because i have a personal hatred of ph0rum sp4mz0r l337 d00dz
