fluffypony: kakobrekla thwarted by his own bot
mdev: you guys have this channel pretty locked down though
kakobrekla: yeah well this chan is prolly the last one that would need a warning :)
mdev: that wants you to send his site coins or something to try and get over on exchanges
mdev: he links to some article "Making money by bitcoin arbitrage"
mdev: he may try and make nice nice to get voice then drop his link
mdev: doubt he'd be able to do much in here, but he's been quite active in other cryptocoin chans i'm in
mdev: be on the lookout for that promo site scammer
kakobrekla: yeah but we are out of time machines
kakobrekla: the best time to do it is today

TheNewDeal: the network would have to pump out blocks like 15% faster over the next 10,000 for that block 315k to be yes
assbot: BitBet - Block 315k mined on or before July 28th :: 0.44 B (5%) on Yes, 8.39 B (95%) on No | closing in 1 month 1 week| weight: 25`709 (100`000 to 5`000)
TheNewDeal: but the last difficulty change was going to be questionable
TheNewDeal: when I was betting, it was about a 12% (constant) difficulty increase that would make it happen
TheNewDeal: that's my take, minus the fees
TheNewDeal: I'm trying to figure out what type of growth rates are required for 12 and 13 day difficulty changes. I can't do it
TheNewDeal: I'm wondering what made them conclude "I should bet on No", other than the fact that the payout was 2:1
TheNewDeal: i'm wondering why someone laid down 6 on No, betting about a day apart. They lost 13% of the timeweight they would have had if they would have wagered it all at once
BingoBoingo: Well, the bastile day bet is looking increasingly like diff will make it, but I bet no a while a go
TheNewDeal: I would like to have an educated bet, backed with some numbers, instead of going with a gut feeling
Vexual: i told u wait and see cock knocker
TheNewDeal: better than vexual?

TheNewDeal: if the hashrate over the last 512 blocks averages 87,961,249 GH/s, what will be the hashrate tomorrow, assuming the growth rate was equal to that of the last 14-day period
TheNewDeal: if the network growth rate is 1.1%, how long will it take to find 2016 blocks?
Vexual: repeat the question
TheNewDeal: if the network hovers at let's say, 1.1 %/day growth, what will be the hash rate on October 1st
Vexual: one off the top ok
TheNewDeal: let's pick the closest to resolution, the last one
TheNewDeal: there's too many
assbot: BitBet - Bitcoin network difficulty > 14Bn on Bastille day :: 112.59 B (85%) on Yes, 19.55 B (15%) on No | closing in 1 week 19 hours | weight: 4`539 (100`000 to 1)
assbot: BitBet - BTC network hashrate will exceed 1 Exahash/s before 2015 :: 2.28 B (35%) on Yes, 4.29 B (65%) on No | closing in 5 months 4 weeks | weight: 57`534 (100`000 to 5`000)
assbot: BitBet - Bitcoin incremental difficulty to increase by 3B or more :: 0.49 B (39%) on Yes, 0.77 B (61%) on No | closing in 3 months 6 days | weight: 56`015 (100`000 to 6`000)
Vexual: link to bet?
TheNewDeal: I'm looking at difficulty predictions and want to know what this graph can tell me
TheNewDeal: how much has the network grown
Vexual: tends to 1
TheNewDeal: how does one calculate a %/day of the network
TheNewDeal: can someone help me decipher this image http://bitcoin.sipa.be/growth-10k.png
TheNewDeal: I'm kind of angry that the block reward halving doesn't occur on a multiple of 2016
mircea_popescu: mdev: makes it hard to sell them, considering their increased value over time << this is the point where it stfus and goes read the log for the rest of 2014.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: no wait, tanks. it was tanks. << wanks of tanks ?
mircea_popescu: benkay: petty. << i think it makes it quite clear who works for whom.
TheNewDeal: is that an answer?
TheNewDeal: regardless, why isn't the next difficulty change a product of 2016
TheNewDeal: doesn't the difficulty change every 2016 blocks?
TheNewDeal: errr I guess it was technically 1 for a while
TheNewDeal: when did the first difficult change occur? block 2017?
TheNewDeal: anyone had troubles with bitcoinwisdom's graphs displaying in chrome? I tried going to chrome://conflicts but nothing was listed
TheNewDeal: speaking of loud transformers, I was sitting at a stoplight the other day under a bunch of high voltage lines, enjoying the buzz that filled the air around me
TheNewDeal: I thought the whole point of a transformer was to change voltage?
asciilifeform: (electrical gizmo supposedly unnecessary in the civilized world)
asciilifeform: constant voltage transformer
TheNewDeal: continuously variable transmission?
TheNewDeal: Disappointing sentences of Wikipedia: the entirety
assbot: Disappointing sentences of Wikipedia: "Piranhas are basically like regular fish with large teeth."
BingoBoingo: Now... With a truck of coin cells...
asciilifeform: or the rain.
asciilifeform: don't leave suitcase out in the frost.
asciilifeform: (reduction to practice left as exercise for alert reader.)
BingoBoingo: That is some useful math. The lithium coin cells, can also generally survive 10+ years in a constant low drain environment...
asciilifeform: considerably cheaper than soviet rtg
asciilifeform blows dust off Turchin's 'the algorithmic language Refal.'
BingoBoingo: Difference isn't that big...
asciilifeform: prob. 'REFAL' rather than forth, though
BingoBoingo was thinking more a Forth chip with Beta-M
asciilifeform pictures 'raspberry' on a truck with 'beta-m'
asciilifeform: ^ electrical output: ~10W. thermal: ~200
assbot: Beta-M - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
asciilifeform: new gizmo has 2x the life vs. varient with, say, nickel metal hydride cell
BingoBoingo: This particular battery went from 5 hours charge to 5 minutes charge over three years. Breaking point on replacing it was it could no longer sustain a whole cigarette's worth of time away from the cord.
asciilifeform: Li. ion -> ~70% of design capacity after 2 yrs. typical.
BingoBoingo: Same happens when totally charged.
BingoBoingo: Recently replaced the laptop battery after 3 years. Lithium ion seems more influenced by time decay that cycles, to the extent I have noticed so far
asciilifeform: so, about the same life as 'macbook'
BingoBoingo wonders in how many years Tesla vehicles will be routinely relieved of their batteries.
asciilifeform: lead-acid cell is good for half a dozen 'deep cycles' then it goes to the dump.
asciilifeform: weak point, as always - the battery
asciilifeform: bypass the usual inverter found on solar rigs. use solar, woman on bike, whichever
asciilifeform: you can get 'atx'-sized power supplies that run off straight 12v rail
BingoBoingo: There's more equiptment tuned for these applications when using solar than mains, at least in the consumer/prosumer market
mircea_popescu: actually : is solar power a loit better than mains for this ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: set up to do just this, when necessary
BingoBoingo: Are they actually neighbors, or potekemin neighbors who professionally reside in that house?
asciilifeform looks to xformer, 'you're a loud little bugger, aintcha' xformer: bzzz me: could be worse xformer: BZZZzzz me: looks at neighbour's house, wonders what they did to dip the mains
asciilifeform actually has to give a shit about ground potentials now that his box is connected to isolator transformer
asciilifeform: who alive remains, who doesn't know this tale
asciilifeform flips toggle to 'more magic'

BingoBoingo: 'Wetware can have problems too'
mircea_popescu: – Local resident Brittany Friedly underwent surgery to remove a mass on her ovary. What was somewhat unique about this mass you might ask? It was a teratoma that contained hair and 7 teeth.
