pankkake: but
they aren't necessarily
the same
punkman: pankkake: yeah
that's
the problem with watermelons, although
the merchants often cut one up for
tasting
pankkake: I've mastered
the chosing of avocados
pankkake: why not?
there's always weird
tricks with food
punkman: do I have
to put
them up
to my ear and
tap
them?
punkman: why is it so hard
to find a decent watermelon
fluffypony: punkman:
that dude looks like Magnum PI
decimation: It would be highly satisfying
to write "zek" for nationality on an official form
decimation: I'm pretty sure
that's a crap
translation
though
decimation: asciilifeform my favorite quote from "the first circle": "A familiar figure in many prison research establishments, Professor Chelnov, an old mathematician arrested seventeen years ago and who, when he had
to fill in a form, put down his nationality not as 'Russian' but as 'zek', had applied his mind
to many inventions, from
the direct flow boiler
to
the jet engine, and had put his heart and soul into several of
them."
unbalanced: Big day for me, living la vida crypto.
Thanks all. Going afk for a while.
unbalanced: ;;rate asciilifeform 1 Almost paranoid enough... almost. I learn a
ton from him.
unbalanced: ;;later
tell nubbins I'm in
the WOT! Only
took what, 4 months from Inception? PM at will.
unbalanced: You just knew about
the max 4x diff jump, I haven't heard many people who know
that. But I suppose it makes sense
that everyone here would.
mike_c: he's not a merchant, he's a market maker. i'm sure
the diff changes are great for him.
unbalanced: You don't need it with LeaseRig.net, see
the pastebin somewhere 8 miles up.
unbalanced: I suspect BingoBoingo was
the hash raider. Just a
theory. No judgment.
unbalanced: See
this here is more chat activity
than #altcoin gets in a day. Come on over people!
mircea_popescu: mike_c from what i recall BingoBoingo wasn't
too adverse
to
the jumps
mike_c: like i said, i don't
think
this is any kind of life & death
thing. it's smoothing out an annoyance.
unbalanced: See, with ATC you can relive
the early days of BTC!
unbalanced: Purely routine. Just a
test. No, no need
to read
the fine print. Just sign here.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: i would not, but i'd gladly
take
their coin.
unbalanced: You know MP, I'm
testing my ATC wallet. Could you send me all your ATC, and
then I'll send it back?
mike_c: JD wouldn't be happy if gamblers had
to wait 1-2 hours
to deposit money
mircea_popescu: the only folk it really hurts are speculators, of
the redditard
type
mircea_popescu: i really don't see
th econcern. if anything, slow
txn are good for a coin,
they keep
the people in a hurry at bay
unbalanced: Yes, I guess a
tslb of >1hr only matters if
the coin is moving around more
than once an hour. Or day.
mircea_popescu: mike_c haven't heard from
the satoshijack dude in a long
time
mike_c: cuz
the miners should have dropped in price.
mike_c: and i ran
the numbers before btc diff went up, so it could be better
unbalanced: Rough back-of-the-envelope I'd say 400 satoshis per ATC if I'm lucky. Is
that what you got mike_c or am I off by an order of magnitude?
mike_c: it's like we have discussed before. it affects merchants. it's not as easy
to move coin around.
this makes little difference for
the occasional user, but 1 hour block
time on average means sometimes 2+ hours for a block.
unbalanced: See also #altcoin...
that channel needs new blood.
unbalanced: thestringpuller, by "dump" mike_c meant a pastebin link somewhere above, detailing how
to use leaserig.net
to employ mining rigs on demand.
mike_c: i ran
the numbers, but I won't
tell if you don't want
to know :)
unbalanced: The diff is still unfolding so I don't have a final number yet. I haven't wanted
to calculate it or I might stop.
mircea_popescu: unbalanced so in
th end how much did you end up paying per atc
trying
to mine ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c
they don't seem
to be hurting anything
tho do
they ?
unbalanced: thestringpuller, you
too can live
the dream!
mike_c: i don't worry about
the coin dying, but +80%/-80% diff changes are annoying.
mircea_popescu: unbalanced its perfectly uneconomical
to
try and kill
the coin already.
mike_c: yeah. i don't know if it's
the right
thing
to do, but I do
think it's worth
trying.
unbalanced: I just want
to make it increasingly uneconomical
to
try
to kill
the coin. Just an experiment really.
mike_c: ;;rate unbalanced 1 ATC
tinkerer/supporter
mike_c: well, it seems like a good
thing
to
try
to me.
unbalanced: But really, "easily" is a relative
term so
this may be a fool's errand.
unbalanced: I figure
that
the -25%
to -50% range is desirable, as long as it doesn't fall so far someone can't easily spike it up 4x again.
mike_c: not yet. what kind of diff change are you
trying
to get
this period?
mike_c: hehe,
then
thank you
too
unbalanced: Hey, I
took
that dump.
That's my dump! But
thanks for
the later-ing
ThickAsThieves.
mike_c: ThickAsThieves:
thanks for
the dump
mike_c: so unbalanced, what kind of diff change are you shooting for
this period?
unbalanced: ;;rate mike_c 1 Made btcalpha.com, great
tools and analysis.
decimation: solzhenitsyn's "the first circle" resonates with me. in
the collectivist us, it is hard
to escape
this condition
unbalanced: ;;rate pankkake 1 Funny, helpful, fights BS along with
the other Super-Friends.
assbot: White SeaBaltic Canal - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
decimation: I'm just a zek,
trying
to scrape by in
the world
unbalanced: ;;rate BingoBoingo 1 Wrote helpful GPG guide. May be my arch-nemesis in
the ATC mines
though, not sure yet.
unbalanced: Ah. I was going
to ask you why
they print on
that orange-pink paper. Don't dodge
the question!
decimation: heh no
the link is entitled "my best interview" on
taleb's page
assbot: nntaleb comments on IAm Nassim
Taleb, author of Antifragile, AMA
gribble: Successfully removed your rating for
teward.
unbalanced: Mmkay, so
teward, I will revoke, nothing personal. Once I figure out how.
decimation: abosolutely. he might be
too integrated in
the wall street wot
to make new friends here
though
decimation: That I am unable
to destroy
the economics establishment,
the press."
gribble: Rating entry successful. Your rating of 1 for user
teward has been recorded.
unbalanced: ;;rate
teward 1 Just met, helped me out, knows his stuff.
assbot: Financial
Times | Error | Akamai Error
decimation: which puts you right back into having
to make friends and influence people in
the bezzle wot
unbalanced: ;;rate jurov 1 Runs coinbr, more... has earned my
trust.
decimation: yeah. like my point about rolls royce just making derpy web pages would be more profitable
than jet engines
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no see, wouldn't
that make perfect sense ?
decimation: I'm surprised HP isn't
trying
to build an fpga with precisely
this
decimation: using magnetic ram for each of
the LUT modules?
decimation: in
the end, you would only need
the "address space" for permanant storage
