X-Rob: But, if people are going
to drive
the prices up,
then I"m going
to
take advantage of it
X-Rob: as a lot of
them just leave
the defaults. Which is fine for a slow, scrypt, pool. But
terrible when you point
TH of SHA at it.
X-Rob: and a lot of
the
time I
then have
to help smaller pools configure
their servers correctly
X-Rob: Apocalyptic: I normally work on ;;genrate + 10%, and I justify
the +10% as 'I know what
the fuck I'm doing, and you're going
to get
that hashrate pointed wherever you want it'
Apocalyptic: if you find people willing
to rent hardware for a ridiculous price
then you're good regardless
Apocalyptic: that's a different story, as you're not
the only one bearing
the cost
X-Rob: that paid off all my avalon3 gear which I bought on a whim and
then immediately regretted.
X-Rob: EG, when BTCD emerged, I managed
to earn 3BTC in 2 days.
X-Rob: Apocalyptic: It works in my, specific, limited circumstances. I have access
to free power, and, I lease my hardware out. I also get
to ride
the wave of pump'n'dump coins, without actually any exposure.
X-Rob: damn having
two people starting with 'the'
Apocalyptic: <X-Rob> I normally just reinvest into hardware. //
this strategy is bound
to fail
TheNewDeal: what do you have now? did I see something like 13.6
TH?
thestringpuller: ;;later
tell X-Rob do you mine yourself? if so do you sell btc?
TheNewDeal: what's with
the stock bet precedent of "close at price" vs "trade at price" ?
mircea_popescu: this silver
that can't even keep 1%... what silver is it!
TheNewDeal: gotcha, justr
trying
to get an idea of scale
mircea_popescu: mpex was new, plenty of finance people had just for
the first
time in
their life had
this new pympex weirdo device and key based
trading and etc.
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal
the common wisdom at
the
time was
that someone butterfingered. either it was meant
to be a buy rather
than a sell, or
too many zeroes or something
TheNewDeal: seriously why would you need
that much bitcoin
that fast
TheNewDeal: did it ever rebound
to
the same level?
mircea_popescu: (there was
this event, back in 2012 iirc, when someone sold like 1mn shares in shallow bids, resulting into a
temporary 99.9% drop of
the price)
mircea_popescu: sounds like btc is nao copying mpex, i recall how pissed ppl were on
the first and original sd dump
punkman: went
to like $300 on btc-e

the ATC block explorer live...
jurov: <mircea_popescu> [09:28:56] mp lists derps, ... nobody wants
to do series a anymoar. << but i was waiting with any advertisement
till F.DERP gets online
TheNewDeal: pete_dushenski , from a book my father was reading, one does not need
to fast for 24 hours
to reap
the benefits
chetty: and
the few left are getting run out with
the lawsuits
chetty: USA doesn't really have farmers in
the fields anymore
usagi: Rome once
tried
to raise
taxes on farmers
to something like 100%. Farmers responded by abandoning
their fields.
chetty: <usagi>
Thanks, I was looking at monsanto
the other day actually and according
to
them at least,
they don't produce "terminator seeds".// YET
chetty: <asciilifeform> a historical annoyance, for all forms of state, is
that folks can, in general, grow food without asking it permission first.//+++++
chetty: asciilifeform, I still dont care
to eat 'unknown' stuff.
THe way
they go about creating
those
things is insanity
chetty: asciilifeform, yup, and
that one is bad enough,
the unkinown ones are scary
chetty: <asciilifeform>
there is only, at present, 'foods optimized
to resist gargantuan quantities of herbicide on
the field.'// actually I dont
think
they much have a clue all
the effects of
the 'engineering'
they been up
to
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: i say you start your own blog. super easy
to do.
then you can be
the home of #b-a comics!
thestringpuller: i can write a few scripts and
then my buddy can draw frames
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i wonder what
the noose did for
the rope industry...
pete_dushenski: iirc le putin is banning gmo crud in his fair land, if
the sanctions aren't doing it first
pete_dushenski: therefore having an issue with
the use of "gmo" is akin
to having an issue with a "president" who could be a figure skating soccer mascot, but isn't
pete_dushenski: surely not
the only possible application of genetic modification, just
the only one anyone is bothering with
pete_dushenski: the
term is associated with
the profit-oriented, risk-burying activities of megacorp abc
pete_dushenski: sure, foods have always been
tinkered with by man, but introducing scorpion and jellyfish genes into grains is something else entirely
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform:
that'd be

pankkake: tried fasting, I don't
take it well
pete_dushenski: search. even if you have
to start from scratch, better
to give your kids
that
than australianism or w/e
pete_dushenski: cazalla: pete_dushenski, "Yes, dear People Of
The World, you belong
to your family, your faith, and your
traditions, not your ?nation.? Where else does
this exist
than perhaps countries such as Japan? Families have been destroyed, faith abandoned, very little
tradition left. What's left but nationalism? (I started
to fall into
this
trap). <<
that's sorta
teh point of
their nefarious exercise. what's left is your own
pete_dushenski: if anyone else has seen medical literature supporting
the
theory
that fasting is effective for cancer
treatment and prevention, feel free
to
toss it in
