the High Costs Away
mircea_popescu: glonass didn't cost 20 bn, and it;'s afaik better
than
the gps stuff
decimation: actually for what facebook wasted on whatsapp,
they could have had a really nice little satellite constellation (assuming
they had
the will
to engineer it properly)

mircea_popescu: i actually invented watt engines 750 years ago, over a coffee chat with
twinklebros
decimation: I have a proposition for you but you need
to self-select into a watt engine between 500-700 years ago
mircea_popescu: decimation you're starting
to sound like
the hershey bar guy
decimation: of course
the actual devices used by
the us could never be carried by such light aircraft
assbot: I-400-class submarine - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
mircea_popescu: but even for
the hell of it - calculate
the sub
that can carry
the diesel engine
that can make
the electricity
thyat can fill a baloon
BingoBoingo: Because
touching
the balloon would set it off?
decimation: in
theory one could produce hydrogen from
the seawater with lots of energy
mircea_popescu: decimation not
the rubber, not
the gas (how do you get helium on a sub ?)
assbot: How many cows does it
take
to build a Zeppelin?
decimation: I
think we had a conversation about cow guts being a military secret in germany
decimation: yeah I'm not sure
that
the rubber/plastic
technology of
the age could have made a big enough balloon
decimation: yeah you are right, I guess
the submarines were just a hypothesis (although could still be
true, sand from beach, launched from sub)
decimation: my understanding is
that
the japanese were actually very close
to a working nuke bomb
decimation: yeah ideally you want it
to adjust its height so it can use
the winds
to station-keep indefinitely
decimation: maybe
they can sell balloons
to zambia
decimation: why
the hell does a 'height master plan' need a balloon for photography?
assbot: About
that Balloon in
the Sky Over Dupont | PoPville

assbot: What in
the world were
those white objects hovering over Washington, D.C.?
nubbins`: i
think
there's a guy in montreal with one of
those as well
nubbins`: maybe he can get you into
the embassy
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
Thanks, I might have
to meet
this Parrot guy
mircea_popescu: Bitcoin.org is
the original domain name used with
the first Bitcoin website. It was registered and is still managed by Bitcoin core developers and by additional community members, with
the input of Bitcoin communities. Bitcoin.org is not an official website. Just like nobody owns
the email
technology, nobody owns
the Bitcoin network. As such, nobody can speak with authority in
the name of Bitcoin.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I
think an iSpace miner may have defected
to
this new pool
atcbot: [PityThePool Hashrate]: 109.95 GH/s [iSpace Pool Hashrate]: 1.34
TH/s
BingoBoingo: chalbersma: Now you need
to coordinate with mod6
to get
the pool added
to:
chalbersma: Ya when you look at p2pool in Bitcoin nobody has a share of
the network like you and Bingo do.
X-Rob: The pool still has its share difficulty way
too low.
X-Rob: and
that's
the important
thing.
BingoBoingo: X-Rob: Well, maybe a mix. For a while
there were 0.002 second share
times.
chalbersma: X-Rob I looked it up. It will accept +diff but
there's a maximum + you can go up. going 1024 when diff was 1 was
too much.
X-Rob: that was
the first major fix
that chalbersma did
BingoBoingo: Oh, fixing
the share difficulty was in part my bashing hash into
the pool unproductively for a while's result
X-Rob: the gui is saying it's still small, but it seems
to be only asking for resets at about 12k now
atcbot: [PityThePool Hashrate]: 73.30 GH/s [iSpace Pool Hashrate]: 1.65
TH/s
chalbersma: @Ragnar did someone else add hashing power
to
the nodes?
BingoBoingo: RagnarsBitch:
There seem
to be a few of
these sites. It was just
the first one mentioned when
the constipation crisis happened. I
think Blazedout419 brought it up
RagnarsBitch: Ohhh. So like nicehash.
That is good
to know..I missed
that
BingoBoingo: RagnarsBitch: Also with
that site... It just functions as a sort of Ebay
trying
to be a "dumb" middleman so contacting rig owners off
their paltform is a hassel
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: Well complicating
this is also
that other
than Antminers I dunno what mining hardware is actually shipping in quantity
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: A big
thing with p2pool seems
to be finding miners
that play nicely with it. Antminer S2's suck, but S1's and S3's are ok. Other rigs are somewhat
trial and error in my limited research.
BingoBoingo: Just
that
the page lists and owner name. Other rigs might be a better value.
RagnarDanneskjol: BingoBoingo - what is
the name of
the miners you are using - if its gonna stop
tomorow, I might
take it over so
there's more
than one miner on
the pool. and I assume rob isnt planning
to keep his running 24/7 indefinitely, right?
kakobrekla: anyone knows what is
the record for male 100m sprint in Montenegro?
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: If it wasn't a badbet I'd suggest maor white Americans get ebola y Jan 1st 2015
than black Americans. Seems safe since
they already have
the lead.
kakobrekla: BingoBoingo : monte negros only goes down
to 7.
assbot: Logged on 24-08-2014 12:58:47; RagnarDanneskjol: going
to
try multiple options - prolly mpos cuz p2pool sux hairy balls
BingoBoingo: I
think every culture has its own countdown from 10 song
assbot: Un elefant se legana ...

mike_c: asciilifeform: I'll
try it on my son
tomorrow night and let you know how it goes
mircea_popescu: cazalla i wanna meet
the followers for all
these leaders. america,
the land of
the 99 leaders
to
the duck.
X-Rob: mircea_popescu:
This is POSSIBLY just because
this p2pool doesn't have any history on block
time
cazalla: cryptsy users about
to get btfo with spam "Cryptsy will actively promote digitalX Mintsy
to its customer base of over 250,000 registered users, who currently
trade over 200 different
types of digital currencies, making
the site a leader in digital currency
trading."
X-Rob: which means every 10 seconds, I (and all
the rest of
the miners) get
told
to discard everythign
they're working on
X-Rob: so every n seconds a share is found (Which, currently, is about 8k or so, looking at when I'm getting resets sent
through)
X-Rob: but p2pool has sharechains.
The sharechains is, according
to p2pool, a new block
X-Rob: that's not
that bad.
X-Rob: so every 10 minutes, 500msec of hashing is
thrown away
X-Rob: on a non-p2pool pool,
that happens once every block
X-Rob: Assume 'asic reset
time' = ... 500msec.
That happens whenver
the pool says 'discard all your work, I have a new block with a new coinbase'
