chalbersma: I've set it up with bitcoin and from what I understand atc is almost identical it "should work" almost out of the box.
BingoBoingo: And iSpace is the opposite of stable
mircea_popescu: X-Rob speaking of ppl can't math : "Basically, by specifying the price to such a huge place, it gives an advantage because it takes a smaller price change to win."
atcbot: [PityThePool Hashrate]: 0.00 GH/s [iSpace Pool Hashrate]: 1.52 TH/s
BingoBoingo: Oh Pity the Pool died again...
atcbot: [PityThePool Hashrate]: 0.00 GH/s [iSpace Pool Hashrate]: 1.61 TH/s
mircea_popescu: chalbersma well, atc is this direct btc clone. it currenlty has not much of a usable pool.
X-Rob: Ah. That's a different question. BEcause people can't math.
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: p2pool in bitcoin was 5% of the network, last time I looked.
mircea_popescu: so then why exactly are there no p2p pools in bitcoin ?
BingoBoingo: Well a problem with the Coinminer p2pool was they never fucking responded to inquiries
mircea_popescu: can he even talk lol
mircea_popescu: why that ?
X-Rob: It kept falling over, I think was the major issue.
X-Rob: p2pool with coins that have ultra-short block times cause issues, as the p2pool share time is 1/10th of the coin block time
BingoBoingo: Now the COinminer ATC p2pool was configured poorly or something?
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol well x-rob was going to make one, but then he got high.
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: nothing's really wrong with p2pool in bitcoin, as it has a decent block time
RagnarDanneskjol: i didn't think there was an atc p2pool avail with monitoring, etc that anyone could use
mircea_popescu: X-Rob refresh me, what's the problem with p2pool in bitcoin again ? too slow -> orphans or what was it ?
RagnarDanneskjol: regarding p2pool setup / hosting that is
mircea_popescu: aha. well, that proved reliable so far, but anyway, let's see if we can do something for your friend here.
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2014 11:38:13; mircea_popescu: <RagnarDanneskjol> I know more than a few highly competent pool hosts if this one proves unreliable << so hook something up
RagnarDanneskjol: will try
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol now to get me up to speed, where did we discuss this ?
RagnarDanneskjol: chalbersma is the pool dev we discussed
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: He's the coach, needs to be able to see.
TheNewDeal: they play a tournament at the end of the year now
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: What happened to the B1G, You don't play any of [Michigan. Michigan State, Ohio SucksCocks University}
mircea_popescu: maybe you're not in the demo.
mircea_popescu: what's this anyway, baseball ?
asciilifeform confesses he never once saw maryland play a game, despite living in 100 metres of where the (local half) of the games played out for 2 years, and within 5km for past 11 yrs.
mircea_popescu: well so a) word it better ; b) obscure sports bets 2 btc as per whenever i announced this.
TheNewDeal: I realize it was worded shitlity, but I needed to draw some light on the fact that they already lost one game
BingoBoingo: Maryland *might* beat Wisconsin if alf can shock their team just right
TheNewDeal: and i wrote that it closes
TheNewDeal: if that have 2 losses, it's a yes
mircea_popescu: if they have 9 losses, it's a yes.
mircea_popescu: Badgers (NCAAF) to finish 9 games with 2 losses (or more) <<< ie, if they have 5 losses, it's a yes.
BingoBoingo: But of the stretch to the Purdue game, Wisconsin should still be able to Lose to Northwestern and YEs still wins.
TheNewDeal: I had to bet more, is what I understand
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal so are you clear on wha happened there ?
BingoBoingo: I would, but that would be Un-PC given Bo Pellini's face Chlymidia
TheNewDeal: ill bet you on that
BingoBoingo: WTF Bullshit schedule is that
BingoBoingo: #18 Wisconsin should play the rest of their season undefeated
TheNewDeal: they need to win all of the games up until 9, or they will have 2 losses
mircea_popescu: has there even been a game with 8 losses out of 9 ?
mircea_popescu: 2 or more losses means they need what, 2 out of 9 wins ?
mircea_popescu: what do you figure the odds to be on this ?
TheNewDeal: 1.666 to be technical
mircea_popescu: 07-09-2014 Rejected Badgers (NCAAF) to finish 9 games with 2 losses (or more)
TheNewDeal: i was betting on them winning their next 7 consecutive games
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal i have no idea why i have to drag it out of you. you';re the upset party, you're supposed to be naturally verbose.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] [PAID] 166.02027623 BTC to 500`000`000 shares, 33 satoshi per share
TheNewDeal: sports wasn't the issue. No bets being placed on soccer, while creating 50 bets was a issue
BingoBoingo: Blame sports it seems it the issue
BingoBoingo: I though it was clear that 2BTC is pretty much the new zeroconf magic number
mircea_popescu: yeah, because that law won't change o.o

BingoBoingo: Why can't we tickle yet?

mircea_popescu: hey, i bring light intra tenebrae :D
kakobrekla: your universal law of sleep undisturbness is unknown to most of the world.
mircea_popescu: now im asked to credit that whether you do this for purely aesthetic reasons or otherwise makes a difference.
mircea_popescu: at some point in there you gotta admit you pretty much went "sleep, fu."
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla no but i mean... you gotta APPLY to these people's waking up service. job interview and all that.
kakobrekla: i think mp is tying to say that everything but death is optional
mircea_popescu: you know the difference between antoinette and teh populace isn't that she's richer than them, it's that unlike them she dun care if she dies.
asciilifeform: nah, more like the difference between being told 'let them eat cake' and eating cake.
BingoBoingo: I live atm next to a fucking race track. have slept through races
mircea_popescu: this is like "the sun is moving on the sky" "no the earth is moving really".
asciilifeform suspects he is not alone in this experience here
asciilifeform: bell is used by other people to ruin your sleep. in exchange for food & housing.
mircea_popescu: if you don't feel like sleeping, does it matter what bell arrangement you use to ruin your sleep for you ?
mircea_popescu: but even that.
asciilifeform: the observation was specifically about sleep (rather than the particular activity during the day, such as killings)
mircea_popescu: i dun credit this. you kill a guy, you've killed some guy. there's no "i had to kill him", is there ? there's no "i had to eat this icecream". you eat it, you get fat, you don't, you don't.
asciilifeform: in case #2, just as you might feel like it, the bells might well ring.
mircea_popescu: i don't see it. so in both cases you don't feel like sleeping that week
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how is this different ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> irregular schedule because you don't feel like sleeping in a given week is rather different from because phone rings and you have to get in a wheeled coffin because otherwise starve. << I prefer to think of my car as an ablative Iron Man suit that protects me from exertion and damage at high speeds
asciilifeform: irregular schedule because you don't feel like sleeping in a given week is rather different from because phone rings and you have to get in a wheeled coffin because otherwise starve.
asciilifeform: not possible to release HW-1 with an open firmware due to NDA << anybody got an ion beam machine? 'gentlemen, start your engines.'
asciilifeform: 'HardwareWallet' << lol! they never get tired, do they.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: exercise and regularity of schedule << exercise, easy; regularity of schedule is a dream to me, on account of my profession.
asciilifeform: copper rounds << i thought almost all modern bullets have copper jackets.
asciilifeform: 'The Parrot and the Carrot one may easily confound / They're very much alike in looks and similar in sound, / We recognize the Parrot by his clear articulation, / For Carrots are unable to engage in conversation.'
BingoBoingo: I prolly should have went to doctor school and been an orthopod
BingoBoingo: Vetrinarian is almost like the parody orthopod
BingoBoingo: Yeah, amazing how whining about shit is a pest past time.
mircea_popescu: she's made all that out of someone dropping the wrong shit i nthe bag ?
mircea_popescu: dude rly ? this chick is easily the most annoying shrill pest at any party.
BingoBoingo: Well, I dunno that Bitcoin has made it too far into medicine yet aside from that Dr. Goss guy with the MyBitcoin fiasco
mircea_popescu: these fucking derps and their "real world"
mircea_popescu: "She even managed to gracefully handle the incessant "point of order" type questioning from the one guy in the back, who always has to ask a stream of arcane academic questions that are irrelevant to anyone living in the real world."
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That was a false alarm on the reporter, confused him with a nearly indistinguishable reporter for Conde Nast
