nubbins`: see, business cards are exactly
the wrong
thing
to silkscreen
fluffypony: plus shipping from England, but
that's relatively negligible
mircea_popescu: i would guess
that principally depends on what 45 buys you.
nubbins`: my
time is still $45/hr even in .ar
mircea_popescu: im gonna get it just
to see wtf 100 bux buys you. but srsly, if
they can deliver atthat price you prolly should move your whole operation down here
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you'll never guess what
these guys quoted me for 1k cards btw.
mircea_popescu: other later sedimentary strata of
the brain have
trouble
talking
through
the barrage of endorphin release
mircea_popescu: kinda how
the hunter-gatherer brain is wired. FREE BERRIES!
chetty: example: oh boy I got HUGE
tax return = free money, completely ignoring
that is
the gubermint returning your money
they
took
chetty: mircea_popescu: policies already in place cost about
that much
to change and it's how it works.// people manage
to believe
that free stuff exists
moiety: message sent
to brucexie
mircea_popescu: both methods of organising labour are utterly horrible for anyone interested in quality work.
they do deliver a very extensive array of crap
mircea_popescu: policies already in place cost about
that much
to change and it's how it works.
mircea_popescu: if you had
to pay fiddy bux
to edit github bleedin' heart would still be
there and a bunch of dorks all over
the web would be explaining how it's not really
that bad
mircea_popescu: the only reason shit like
the openssh was full of is even getting fixed at all is
that it costs nothing
to alter code.
mircea_popescu: you know it just occurs
to me,
the democratic political process and open source software have a shitload in common.
mircea_popescu: isn't
this most upstanding member
that dork
that came here a coupla years ago
to
try and
troll anonymously
kakobrekla: Sorry kako, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on
this forum.
kakobrekla: >Dude you created an account just
to come here and
troll, at least have
the decency not
to hide your real account. Our little section of Bitcoin is doing just fine, OgNasty is one of
the most upstanding members of
the Bitcoin community.
To come here and claim he is running some
type of scam is ridiculous. You seem
to have already climbed back into your hole, please stay
there.
mircea_popescu: btw if anyonestill has a forum acct, ask
that brucexie guy
to drop bysometime
moiety: fluffypony: ok so you save about £57 getting it from
the us but it will
take longer
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: my 1spagni vanity addy
took like 4 hours with vanitygen - 7 letters
takes it up
to like 1-2 days, 8 letters you need oclvanitygen
fluffypony: and
to double check - you're backing up your wallet.dat and/or you have your privkey written down and stored somewhere away from your house?
mircea_popescu: btw, you didn't generate
that unsafely over some sort of shady provider did you ?
moiety: though i didn't mean
the E and Y
to be giant
moiety: 1MoiEtY7kGWwxr7isWhS492gXJZqGUbWFy << :D its even a speshul one ... kk so
that one isn't
the best deal imo, lemme dig a little more
moiety: yeah i'm just signing in
to go over it all
fluffypony: moiety: does
that definitely ship
to you, afaik?
fluffypony: find
the cheapest new one in
that list
fluffypony: moiety: from earlier - fluffypony: if anyone's interested, I'm looking for someone
to buy a $900 item (aforementioned flash drive) on Amazon for me and ship it
to me, will pay in Bitcoin and also pay for
the effort
moiety: fluffypony: I love it, it's amazing! but i got stuck in
the empty old flat for a few days and haven't had internet here. I've moved half hour drive away in
the smallest car you can buy i
think and me and mum aren't exactly weight lifters lol how are you? :D
moiety: BRI haven't heard of Malcom btw mircea_popescu, i was going
to dig a little, if you wanted
☟︎ moiety: hello all, I'm really sorry for my lack of presence
this past little while, had some problems with moving. I'm
trying my hardest
to not be offline.
gribble: moiety was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 21 hours, 9 minutes, and 40 seconds ago: <moiety> i do but
there's a lot of
time left
fluffypony: if anyone's interested, I'm looking for someone
to buy a $900 item (aforementioned flash drive) on Amazon for me and ship it
to me, will pay in Bitcoin and also pay for
the effort
mircea_popescu: DAMMIT YOU CAN HAZ NO CONTENT CONTROL WITH
THEZE INTERNET KIDS
TODAY!
punkman: there are people in
the library
assbot: Steph Kegels (Stephkegels) auf
Twitter
fluffypony: so
that was announced but never released?
punkman: lol "An interesting addition
to
these drives is a small LCD display on
the side
that might at some point show meaning information, but sadly ours only boasted
the 1TB size."
mircea_popescu: well kako is more
than welcome
to fork it or w/e if he likes
the code.
tech decision.
mircea_popescu: the other one is
that
they don't maintain
the records.
fluffypony: the nice
thing is
that
they have an API for storing and verifying
mircea_popescu: this notion
that anyone can randomly decide
they'll now develop
things works fine for weblogs or w/e
mircea_popescu: fluffypony it's missing
two key ingredients,
the most important one being - done by people i
trust.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: it's roughly
the system you describe - it stores a hash of a document in
the blockchain
mircea_popescu: or
they could have joined assets a year or so ago. either way.
mircea_popescu: well, it's definitely
the blockchain-friendliest approach, seeing as only a hash is stored in
the first place. moreover, i don't see how nonspendable
tx helps anything other
than pruning
punkman: but not like you'll be making
tons of
them anyway
punkman: not having
to keep it in unspent
tx list is
the more important part as I understand it
punkman: I
think
the script is shorter for
the unspendable
tx
mircea_popescu: punkman a
tx is a
tx, whether unspendable or not it's
the same length no ?
punkman: also miners don't have
to keep it in
the unspent
transactions list
punkman: less stuff in
the blockchain
punkman: mircea_popescu: instead of sending 1btc back and forth, it should make a provably unspendable
tx
mircea_popescu: 3. once
this
tx gets 1 confirm, assbot makes an announcement here. "statements from mircea_popescu, mike_c, kakobrekla : b-a.com/registrar/blockxxx"
mircea_popescu: 2. once every 512 seconds, submitted
text is checked. all
that is clearsigned content by signatures in assbot's l2 gets bundled
together, hashed and
the hash is included in a special
tx
through which b-a pays 1 btc
to itself with a decent miner fee
mircea_popescu: 1. somewhere on b-a website
there's a
text form where people can submit random
text up
to say 16kb in length.
this all goes into db.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so based on mike_c's discussion last night, i
think i have a very good addition
to b-a kako. it'd go like
this :
☟︎☟︎☟︎ Mats_cd03: asciilifeform: ;;later
tell BingoBoingo: while I weld
the server shut
to drop off at
the colo << if you don't already own one, a very usable spot-welder can be made from
the ubiquitous 1F+ capacitors sold for use with automotive 'boom-booms.' << 'dis spark plugs?
fluffypony: how is Farming Simulator 14 in
the
top 100 paid games on
the iPad
assbot: Bridge laying
tank Biber - YouTube
punkman: guess some people still have
taste
punkman: strange
that a
text adventure hit #1 on
the app stores
mircea_popescu: nobody wants
to admit
the entrepreneur does no more need
the financier. horowitz least of all.
mircea_popescu: and so,
the stupid meets
the lazy : nobody wants
to admit
the fiat paper is pointless ; horowitz least of all.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile on
the other end of
the chasm,
there's billions nobody wants.
mircea_popescu: in fact, it costs so little he doesn't even need horowitz. nor does he have any reason
to
talk
to
them. which he doesn't.
mircea_popescu: if anything, start-up rounds need
to be more now, not less. because it costs WAY less now for a couch surfing founder
to start his company.
bitcoinpete: "In effect, a $3-5M seed round or a $3-5M "New Series A" is a recreation of
the original conception of an A round from historical VC."
assbot: 1/A few
thoughts on
timing and staging of capital into modern
tech startups -- start with fact
that 2003-20011 seed rounds were ~$500K-1M.
bitcoinpete: at least maidsafe and bitgo left a comment on
the blog
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: you're surely used
to
this "if i pretend not
to notice" routine
