mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that too.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: advantage of making both in same batch -> you do it whether you want to or not. process yield.
mircea_popescu: the advantage of making both "in the same batch" is quite unclear, not like you'd be stuck with batches of like, 3 full and 7 1/4s
mircea_popescu: if you can make 1/4 th, you can idem sell those.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, it's unclear to me what exact benefit would this be. if you can make 1 th asics, you can sell 1 th asics.
mircea_popescu: course so far that's correlated moreover negatively over the history of bitcoin miner manufacturers
asciilifeform: Namworld: not entirely nonsensical. see the story of the intel 486 dx - and many subsequent chips
Namworld: Anyone that knows about the ASIC design process, how non-sensical is that statement?
Namworld: with regards to $/GH/W and unparalleled ASIC diversification with essentially three different ASIC products available from one production batch."
Namworld: "Our 28nm ASIC design architecture dubbed the “Creator” to be used at the foundry level allows for simultaneous production of the 1TH “Creator 1” Bitcoin ASIC, 256GH “Creator 2” Bitcoin ASIC and the 4MH “Creator 3” SCRYPT ASIC from the same wafer batch. This unique ability, and the lower costs associated with the FDSOI process, lends Provenance ASIC a competitive advantage
benkay: "disliking the usg makes you a bad person"
assbot: Log In - The New York Times
mircea_popescu: i got it. that's not really a usecase th
punkman: I did a later tell
mircea_popescu: punkman maybe if you explained the usecase ?
punkman: what I'm describing is more like escrow than oracle I guess
assbot: Early Temple
punkman: this is not a new idea, this was an early implementation https://earlytemple.com:8181/
punkman: ;;later tell mircea_popescu a silly example, me and dignork both make a 1btc transaction to each other, but we can only spend them after the bitbet oracle signs the transaction
mircea_popescu: when btc makes it to that address the bet resolved.
mircea_popescu: and anyone can trivially be charged a fee for finding out when x bet resolves : he sends a bet to a virgin address
mircea_popescu: that's ok, question that aren';t worth betting on aren't worth answering.
mircea_popescu: what's that help ?
punkman: if there's interest, you can also provide answers to things that aren't worth betting on
punkman: anyway why not charge a fee to sign transactions when X bet resolves
punkman: not the canonical one, more in the sense of these blockchain oracle constructions
dignork: pankkake: the oracle can work like : yes/no/idunnohumanplease
mircea_popescu: maybe we don't mean the same thing by oracle then
pankkake: what kind of bets can be automatically verified? do you trust the source not to fuck up?
mircea_popescu: punkman oracle service cost is unbound is the problem.
dignork: mike_c: maybe only subset of bets, which can be automatically verified, these bets are submitted without review, less work for bitbet op, more monies for turnover
punkman: I think if bitbet provided an oracle service that might be handy for building things on, but I'm not about to trust some random dude's oracle
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: y'know, i think bitcoin has actually soured my opinion of the concept of an "idea" << actual business experience in the company of actual business people has soured you on infantile bullcrap. neither bitcoin nor ideas particularly involved.
pankkake: I like Amazon for delivering physical items, they do it very well
mircea_popescu: mike_c: idk, i'm not in the 'everything should be free' camp. << but the camp is "nothing should be amazon"
dignork: say they'll be redemed in case of detacted fraud
dignork: mike_c: i think it's possible to make a multisig fund, where each oracle op drops some funds, these funds are deal insurance, but I didn't think it through completely
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: l.o.l. << don't do something merely stupid. do something spectacularly stupid instead!!! and don't even mention the actually sane alternative, that's gonna hurt your feelings so it doesn't exist.
mike_c: dignork: but then you trusting the crowd of oracles to make the right decision. see rota for examples of that not working so well.
mircea_popescu: "o no but you must get a romania tld". why ?
mircea_popescu: a decade back they introduced .ro, ie, for romania. i laughed at them then, i'm still laughi8ng at them
dignork: mircea_popescu: they open sourced their current code in git, assuming free security reviews, stopped watchig after that
mircea_popescu: pankkake: as well as litecoin.foundation. fuckers << dude who the fuck cares.
mircea_popescu: he's also stuck in the wrong paradigm.
mircea_popescu: "Second set of drafts coming through tomorrow. Seen a little preview, already looking very sharp. After that, we refine and then program. Looking good for the one month ETA"
dignork: so you have oracle bot that can be hacked/bribed w.e, but if you have multiple, it's assumed to be harder to do
mircea_popescu: anyway, the dunne thing, what about it dignork ? guy was briefly here about that time
jurov: mircea_popescu: that was 7 or so years ago, google worked as advertised then
dignork: mike_c: the git thing?
mircea_popescu: jurov: he typed "viki" << i typed viki and nothing happened
dignork: o dog, i know why the term looked familiar, mircea_popescu - forum cookies: https://bitcointa.lk/threads/xcp-ipo-announcement-dunnecapital-ltd-uk-bitcoin-exchange-and-a-casino.304299/
mircea_popescu: im onlyhere for the cookies
mircea_popescu: dignork gotta take that up with kakobrekla

pankkake: http://wikisend.com/download/960424/ first time I use the thing, tell me if it doesn't work
pankkake: a format that works only with amazon's reader and comes with drm, that's an horrible combo
mike_c: $3 for an ebook sounds like the right price to me.
Mats_cd03: what makes you qualified to audit cryptography
mike_c: why jerk up the 'our work' header?
mike_c: it moves around a lot when i click the client boxes
benkay: dorp i didn't see the "kindle 3 dollars" button
benkay: pankkake: it pops a modal. maybe one of the designers knows how to make it happen without js, but that's like 0.001% of potential clients.
pankkake: I have an un-drmed azw3 for the interested. can be easily converted to epub

mike_c: clicking tozny worked for me
pankkake: "our works" works, but not clicking on tozny. I don't see why that couldn't be possible
benkay: mircea_popescu doesn't get to see it without js sorry boss
pankkake: "if the idea is good" oh god :(
pankkake: my javascript blocking rules don't show comments there
