BingoBoingo: ATC is totally not mergeminable, and there are questions over whether pool hosting costs could be justified for:
decimation: asciilifeform: heh yeah, but does it track frame pointers?
chalbersma: So this p2pool server are you looking for one to run with ATC or with Bitcoin? My understanding is that ATC is not merge minable.
assbot: How to Have a Non-Monogamous Relationship | VICE United States
decimation: linux actually has something called 'perf' that does this - sorta - but the problem is that it doesn't do a full backtrace
BingoBoingo: <decimation> asciilifeform: no as in if it must keep up with real-time hardware << Sounds like someone needs to buy Alpha IP from Intel
asciilifeform: decimation: you're stuck purchasing an ICE then.
asciilifeform: profiler generally exists to eyeball what portion of the time is spent where in the program.
decimation: chalbersma: denver would be logical. my point is that I suspect that usg employees are paid $$$ to write fantasy
asciilifeform: decimation: requires, as in, to work in any logical sense at all?
BingoBoingo wonders if there is a 68k port of Valgrind
decimation: asciilifeform: try running 'valgrind' on an application that requires high-bandwidth/speed performance
mircea_popescu: allow me to contribute a naked woman with cane marks on buttocks and buckets to the discussion. http://38.media.tumblr.com/cf703026c6e39b636e296a6e9a8a9072/tumblr_mrhlp197Gz1sum4lro4_500.jpg
chalbersma: Plus the usg couldn't get any worse if it was toking up. :)
BingoBoingo: decimation: Dtrace has been a thing since I was a wee college freshman
decimation: re: solaris << had a proper live stack tracing system. This is what linux has: http://poormansprofiler.org/
mircea_popescu: what sort of silly counterfactual is this.
decimation: I was thinking to myself this evening: what if Washington DC were washed into the sea tomorrow? usg's contingency plans would probably be to move the government west, in the middle of the kulaks they have been harassing for decades. I don't think that 'contingency usg' would survive as an entity that we would recognize.
chalbersma: @Bingo I am also interested in MaidSafe it seems like if it's implemented properly it could be the decentralized Amazon EC2.
KRS-1: openstack often comes to mind lately though
chalbersma: @Bingo would consider it in the future. Not looking into starting a hosting gig full time at this point. I haven't worked with Solaris but at my last job I did setup an internal FreeBSD webserver for them and I've been keeping up with FBSD for a while (esp. that ZFS goodness).
KRS-1: BingoBoingo: I work for a datacenter in Canada. I often thought of setting up something but I go blank when I think of what to do.
mircea_popescu: after bitvps went to the dogs i dunno that there's actually any dedicated btc hoster
RagnarDanneskjol: chalbersma - the interest is there - I get requests for pool talent all the time.
decimation: yeah the real complication comes when you want to pump high power into something and have it not burn/explode
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: (unless it's 1941 and you're pissing inadvertent heterodyne noise to a waiting wagen on street)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if receiving don't even need all that much.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can't hide an antenna. this is the definition of antennae.
assbot: In D.C., a 13-year-old piano prodigy is treated as a truant instead of a star student - The Washington Post
chalbersma: If they're is enough interest in p2pool and other mining servers I might consider it.
asciilifeform: hams use a 'flagpole' << think from this angle - any scenario where a gigantic antenna is a plus, it is also quite important that it be hidden from prying eyes
chalbersma: Not sure to be honest. I'm a Sys Admin by day so it seemed natural to bring those skills to bitcoin as I started to get into it.
decimation: or string sufficiently invisible wire in a tree
decimation: although it's true that many objects can be made to radiate if matched properly
BingoBoingo: decimation: Then you dig your lake a better hole and insert pipes for "irrigation"
mircea_popescu: chalbersma i see. well okay, so do you see yourself running a bunch of pools in the future ? or what ?
decimation: you see, it's okay to receive propaganda
BingoBoingo: Antenna need not be pole. Saltwater lake works too.
decimation: "The rule (47 C.F.R. Section 1.4000) has been in effect since October 1996, and it prohibits restrictions that impair the installation, maintenance or use of antennas used to receive video programming. "
mircea_popescu: decimation well in exchange you get to not have a pole around
decimation: most us folk think antennas are 'ugly'
decimation: right, 30 foot tower with 15 foot HF dipole is banned
BingoBoingo: What if my dick curves ever so slightly to the left? It's conductive... antenna?
decimation: asciilifeform: that only applies to regular humans using 'small' (less than 1 meter) sat dishes or tv antennas
decimation: they usually also ban things like clotheslines and pretty much anything unusual
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Amaxing how much of the research in this field is documented on "reality tv"
mircea_popescu: chalbersma what's this datacoin thing ?
asciilifeform: carry away the earth in buckets, if you have to, in pant pockets - as pictured in 'the great escape.'
decimation: also many of them have language banning antennas of all kinds -- this was 'encouraged' by the cable companies
asciilifeform: nor are the lands sufficiently large then
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Meant bunkers, I would love a studio apartment under the pasture
decimation: well individually nobody (it's a roundoff error in the total 'fees' required to transact us real estate) , but spread over thousands of transactions you have a 'special interest'
TheNewDeal: KRS-1 not totally convinced "soy is an estrogen enhancing garbage by-product." Used to supplement it while lifting weights in the past, worked just fine for muscle buidling
BingoBoingo: HOA's are a scam because most of them ban unkers
decimation: also many states/counties charge a high fee to reproduce the official deeds with covenants
decimation: they charge several hundred $usd to provide the 'paperwork' needed to sell a house with covenants
BingoBoingo: I could move 4 times in the next year so my home connection is iffy
decimation: re: hoa << it's a scam that's also perpetrated by the 'property management' industry
chalbersma: Depending on the size of the atc blockchain you may be able to host it on a VPS cheaper.
mircea_popescu: chalbersma ok so, part of the problem here is that the entire market cap of atc is about what it'd cost to get a server colo'd.
KRS-1: HAHA I've heard that before
BingoBoingo: Only Texans I've met have been steers and queers
KRS-1: imo Texas is the best place to set up shop
BingoBoingo: chalbersma: I've been looking at datacenters in the region for my blog
KRS-1: Cool thanks for checking it out
chalbersma: Originally designed it to do scrypt p2pool with many alts but the scrypt hardware we pre-ordered was delayed.
chalbersma: 1 colo'ed of these: http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5018/SYS-5018A-TN4.cfm
BingoBoingo: Whatever happened to BTC knife guy
mircea_popescu: KRS-1 well so the guy has broadly speaking a point. otherwise he's much too blund and sorely uneducated/uninformed to make much of it.
KRS-1: I've got to admit the author has an edge and I find a lot of his writing pretty good.
BingoBoingo: I mean German women are the backbone of Europe
mircea_popescu: "Gentlemen, being a man is great. You get to use your muscles to pick up heavy things, you get to use your dick to fuck things, and you get to use your brain to think and create things. It’s no wonder feminist’s hate men – they desperately want what we have but they can never have it. But how the heck have they convinced MEN that being a man is bad or evil?" << ah come on, women can't lift things ? wtf.
KRS-1: I've often thought about it tbh.
BingoBoingo: KRS-1: Why not, you've often had insightful things.
nanotube: BingoBoingo: tickler eh hehe. mircea_popescu thanks for the concern :D
assbot: The Continued Pussification of the American Male
KRS-1: Anyone care to share your thoughts on this article? I know many of you aren't America, but perhaps you can relate afterall. http://boldanddetermined.com/2011/11/10/the-continued-pussification-of-the-american-male/
RagnarDanneskjol: like maybe this week
RagnarDanneskjol: mike_c -I'm working on it - a wallet too, should be done soon
chalbersma: ATM the RSM p2pool has a private IP in the DC but we're working on getting it a public one. When the request comes back you'd be able to log into the public stats page and check it out.
mike_c: RagnarDanneskjol: did you mention awhile ago that you were involved with a new ATC block explorer? or did I make that up in a dream?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It totally involves blood, but yes it isn't secret... Totally public
chalbersma: Ya but I needed someone to "show me the ropes" so to speak. I'm sure I could have done it myself but this gave me a structured way to start.
mircea_popescu: chalbersma contrary to what BingoBoingo may have you believe, there's no secret initiation rite, especiually nothing involving blood.
chalbersma: Ya he has an opinion about you but then again he's a bit hotheaded and has opinions about a lot of people. But he gave me my first break in bitcoin so...
RagnarDanneskjol: he's a nice southern gentleman who wanted to work in crypto and just happened to live in close proximity to them
chalbersma: We're friends. Are you asking me to tell you his name?
mircea_popescu: chalbersma so what's your relation to the guy running it, w/e his name is ?
chalbersma: :) Ya I didn't name the company.
asciilifeform: frozen in time, links to 'mtgox'
mircea_popescu: sorry bout that.
asciilifeform saw 'red star', thought 'what a soviet mining firm might've been named', went to check 'http://bitcoin.su.' lo and behold - there's one.
assbot: xrobau comments on BitBet - Bitcoin to surpass Berkshire as an investment :: 1121.08 B (85%) on Yes, 193.66 B (15%) on No
TheNewDeal: for a second I thought he operated a pool for richard stallman...
RagnarDanneskjol: he's a candidate who came to me, i interviewed a few times and deemed worthy of such an undertaking
BingoBoingo: chalbersma: Given the first name Meni... Can you offer a last name and a list of transgressions?
assbot: Mark_Karpeles_Jr comments on BitBet - Bitcoin to surpass Berkshire as an investment :: 1121.08 B (85%) on Yes, 193.66 B (15%) on No
mircea_popescu: fresh offa reddit. people apparently believe that 1.4589799845796 is specified narrowerly than 2.
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: what's that gibberish?
