X-Rob: ... this is a really good point, RagnarsBitch
RagnarsBitch: Geez rob. If you'd just built the pool like you said, we wouldn't be having this conversation
X-Rob: but I'm not even getting the web page.
X-Rob: RagnarsBitch: that's also incorrect.
RagnarsBitch: Right, you know p2pool is slow as molasses to show share value
X-Rob: I am trying to connect to the p2pool port to see what the share value is
RagnarsBitch: Ok. Describe barely reachable..digi ocean says its been up the whole time
X-Rob: but that pool is barely reachable
assbot: This is what it's like to find out the government hacked your business | The Verge
RagnarsBitch: Easy there rob
RagnarsBitch: Sure that is possible
X-Rob: I don't think you understand the problem.
RagnarsBitch: It has to do with packet loss and pools not being designed for just a single miner. I know I've had these same issues anytime just one miner is active on a pool , then resolves as soon as a couple more come online
X-Rob: chalbersma: The miner is set up with that pool as priority one
X-Rob: it appears that thepool just died.
X-Rob: RagnarsBitch: What does the number of miners have to do with it? The share value is calculated based on the hash rate aimed at the pool.
RagnarsBitch: What's the address again chalbersma?
RagnarsBitch: If anyone in here has an asic miner they can spare, please point it at the pool for 24 hours so this can get sorted out
chalbersma: Can you try setting a manual difficulty? I believe they added that feature to p2pool recently to improve stability. Let me look up the formatting on how to do it.
RagnarsBitch: I have a ton of experience with this
RagnarsBitch: Yes, rob. There needs to be more than one miner on the network otherwise this issue will persist
X-Rob: No, p2pool doesn't work like that.
chalbersma: I imagine it has to do with the changing hashrate.
chalbersma: That's basically all I've changed (in addition to adding the extra web interface bits.
X-Rob: chalbersma: you should be using the standard p2pool build, with just the magic changed and the ports.
chalbersma: X-Rob Can I get you to point some hashing power there for a bit. Let's see if I can see what the issue is.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell nubbins` not an expert on vindication but expiration may as well mean neglect or w/e
X-Rob: This is when ASICs suck compared to old GPU or CPU hardware, as they need extra time to reset and reconfigure
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: I don't know. The pool shouldn't be requesting a hard reset that often. It means that the pool thinks the block time is 20 seconds-ish.
mircea_popescu: X-Rob what do you figure is the prlblem ?
peterl: What brings you to #bitcoin-assets?
assbot: Bitcoin mining company 'fully vindicated' after expiry of cease trade order - Saskatoon - CBC News
peterl: quiet today.
mircea_popescu: wtf is with all the half price x.eur bids.
ben_vulpes: i'm going to do all sorts of stupid shit when i have a labor surplus.
mircea_popescu: they used half ton vats to cook the stuff. potatoes cleanned and cut by hand
mircea_popescu: romanian 4rd army (transylvania) used to serve basically two types of food. either cluj cabbage (layers of ground pork and cut cabbage cooked in a large pot for 2 hours) or porked potatoes (same thing)
ben_vulpes: irc tho...
mircea_popescu: what children, nobody's got time for that.
ben_vulpes: out on the line i heard the same routine: "i can muscle these castings onto the fixture faster than any robot!""
ben_vulpes: both in the kitchen and on the line.
chetty: and I am a grand cook too
chetty: I bet I can prep a meal faster by hand than with a silly gadget
ben_vulpes: sheesh chetty this is frosh grade "lean" engineering :P
ben_vulpes: garlic and the onions and the carrots and...
chetty: ben_vulpes, pfftt, takes as long or longer to setup and clean food processor than to just mince the garlic
ben_vulpes: engineer automates a thing, does not get those hours back but instead firm can now build things faster and charge less than the competition for better quality work.
ben_vulpes: <chetty> hmm humans live longer, we have all these modern things to reduce work and yet we dont have time. I admit that one confounds me. << girl gets a food processor, but prep time saved in mincing garlic does not make meals faster, but grander meals.
mircea_popescu: http://www.lnx.ro/2014/07/31/sdn/ << today's lulz, among many others : sdn!
mircea_popescu: ahem. FINELY TUNED beat to shit.
chetty: interesting habit you got there, " beat to shit against a countertop"
kakobrekla: mebbe you are a fine tuner
mircea_popescu: its realyl not hard to do, i did it on 2/2 bottles i tried
kakobrekla: needs quite fine tuning
mircea_popescu: pretty interesting party trick this
mircea_popescu: ah simultaneous with the reseal
mircea_popescu: course i still wonder what causes the bubble hail.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think kakobrekla has it. the cap is an de facto valve. under high pressure its seal fails, as presusre drops it collapses and seals again, which builds pressure again etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: co2 goes in and then out of solution.
mircea_popescu: yeah that makes sense
kakobrekla: just the valve needs more energy to fail than to sustain fail

mircea_popescu: simple musical verification of this : all military marches are short musical phrases with a lot of percution and a lot of short measures. all dirges are the opposite.
mircea_popescu: the more often conscience flows get interrupted, the less subjective time is had.
mircea_popescu: roughly speaking, the time the subject perceives he has is a scalar computed as a function of the interruptions count in their brain.
chetty: hmm humans live longer, we have all these modern things to reduce work and yet we dont have time. I admit that one confounds me.
mircea_popescu: course they'll live to regret it, but on the plus side, not so very many of them.
mircea_popescu: ain't nobody got time for that. not no more.
mircea_popescu: chetty to be honest, i think the only thing that's getting exterminated on the short and maybe medium term is your style of reasonable, golden middle sanity.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "author and activist" is becoming the new "singer-songwriter", which is what elevator girls became after waitress-and-model went out of fashion with greenwich village
mircea_popescu: chetty simple way to beg for war is all.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i for one am muchly in favour of california and perhaps the entire us applying this novel thinking. for one thing, it's too expensive to find out what exactly the drawbacks of this ovular merging thing are other than by using voluntary subjects.
chetty: the current habit in some cultures of aborting the majority of female children is equally insane
mircea_popescu: the solutions she comes up with all stem from her unwarranted premise that she's a whole and complete being.
mircea_popescu: chetty just a little misguided, imo. she perceives the problem correctly, there's too many idiots.
mircea_popescu: this derpage is so delicious lol. olg hags clinging to a social relevancy and political influence they never had and never will have. derp on, sisters!
chetty: Let me point out that as woman I think the author of that piece is totally insane.
mircea_popescu: none of this bullcrap.
mircea_popescu: the future, if there is one, is happy identification as slaves for the people who are, for very good reason, exactly that.
mircea_popescu: so there you have it, perfectly good reason to oppose libertard environmentalism, along with the rest of women-studies driven libertardism.
mircea_popescu: Such a prospect is attractive to women who feel that if they bear sons no amount of love and care and nonsexist training will save those sons from a culture where male violence is institutionalized and revered. These are women saying, “No more sons. We will not spend twenty years of our lives raising a potential rapist, a potential batterer, a potential Big Man.”
mircea_popescu: [I]f women are given the freedom of their bodies then they may well choose [experimental "ovular merging" technology that produces only female embryos] in great enough numbers to make a significant difference in the sex ratio of women to men. A 75% female to 25% male ratio could be achieved in one generation if one-half of a population reproduced heterosexually and one-half by ovular merging.
mircea_popescu: We now come to a critical point: how is such a reduction in the male population to take place? One option is of course male infanticide. It differs very little from the female infanticide that has apparently been carried out even into the twentieth century by some cultures. Such an alternative is clearly distasteful and would not constitute creative social change. . . .
mircea_popescu: To secure a world of female values and female freedom we must, I believe, add one more element to the structure of the future: the ratio of men to women must be radically reduced so that men approximate only ten percent of the total population. . . .
mircea_popescu: ogative of any man. I suggest that lesbians and other independent women are already moving in this direction. . . .
mircea_popescu: In every culture it must be women in charge of the changes: women-identified women, no women who are pawns of men, not women who out of their fear of losing their lives or those of their children, still hold to the securities of that dangerous patriarchal culture, but women utterly free of coercion, free of male influence and committed to the principle that the right of species regulation is their own, and not the prer
mircea_popescu: ren men think are necessary to perpetuate the tribe or the religion or the specific culture. Instead they will bear the children that they want, that they can care for, and that they assess are needed by the specific group and the entire species. . . .
mircea_popescu: Women will bear the number of children they know can be sustained not just by their own social group but by the wide ecological system. They will not bear the children that some man wants only to perpetuate his name or the family possession of his property; they will not bear the children they presently convince themselves they must have because their only role is obedient wife and mother; women will not have the child
mircea_popescu: ent any male’s say-so in the process of reproduction. Create and protect alternative structures of economic and psychological support for independent women — women not attached to men — who are child-bearers and child-raisers. . . .
mircea_popescu: Make the decision entirely that of the woman as to how she will be impregnated and how often, if indeed she chooses to be so at all, and whether by heterosexual intercourse, artificial insemination or a form of ovular merging. Restore to each woman the inalienable right to say what shall become of any fertilized egg and to control absolutely the number of children she wishes to emerge from her body. . . . Make nonexist
mircea_popescu: To return species responsibility to women means in very practical terms that erotic and reproductive initiative must be restored to women all over the globe. . . .
mircea_popescu: At least three further requirements supplement the strategies of environmentalists if we are to create and preserve a less violent world. I) Every culture must begin to affirm a female future. II) Species responsibility must be returned to women in every culture. III) The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race. . . .
mircea_popescu: Enslaved by male-identification and years of practice within the system as we all still are to one degree or another, the assumption must be that the present system of monopoly capitalism and patriarchy must be replaced and that non-male-identified women must be the responsible ones. . . .
mircea_popescu: allow me to dump some nonsense for ready future reference.
asciilifeform: from the loltron: http://cryptome.org/2014/09/nsa-treasure-map-der-spiegel-14-0914.pdf
mircea_popescu: ah cool, this goes jus' fine with my reddit piece.
mircea_popescu: we had some trbl yest.
