BingoBoingo: Plant's pickier.
They call cannabis weed for a reason, just won't die
mircea_popescu: so it prolly doesn't even count as "a fifth of a pack", more like "a
twelfth"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: "white gold" is rare here. Usually cocaine in Uruguay refers
to "pasta base" outside of Punta Del Este
mircea_popescu: so in it being subunitary, it's properly called
trivial.
mircea_popescu: you can;t get it packaged in less
than lb, and usually kg, on intl market.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he has a point, in
that it's subpackaged.
mircea_popescu: certainly something
the foundation could've been advertising itself as doing, lo
these many years.
mircea_popescu: though honestly --
this might very well be a foundation item neh ?
mircea_popescu: imo we should have lookup version first and foremost. but if diana_coman has
the
time/inclination, implemnenting both isn't
the end of world anyway.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman nah, listen, just implement a crc32. it's very simple indeed, i quited
the polynomial used, just divide by it and keep
the change.
BingoBoingo: Since
this is a "public" building it remains
to be seen if
the bulldozers come out like
they did for
the ancient squat on
the other side of
the impoverished north
diana_coman: I'm actually
thinking whether
to add a simple crc32(array of octets) -> unsigned_32
to EuCrypt; presumably it will be of larger utility anyway;
diana_coman: asciilifeform, yes,
that's where I went after ave1 pointed out
that
the gnat.crc32 is just a stream-wrapper
diana_coman: ave1, ah,
the gnat.crc32 is just
the stream on
top of system.crc32?
diana_coman: as one might
tell, I'm looking into using CRC in smg.comms as per latest spec
diana_coman: aaand if I get it right, GNAT.CRC32 uses Ada.Streams.Stream_Element and it expects a String as input so overall it really sounds like back
to GNAT.Sockets style, ugh
jurov: My offer was in
this case 6170 USD/BTC, with fiat wire sent within a week.
jurov: Next
time if representative of public company does ask me
this privately I'll go
to forum. Lesson learned.
jurov: Hello, I am not sitting on bag of fiat
to seek auctioning it off, but when anyone in my wot comes like "halp!!!" i will help
them sell coins if possible.
mircea_popescu: in other ideas : anyone wanna get a
toll free us number & redirect it
to here ? seems
the better way
to work
that whole "or call xxx" angle.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-10-04 15:47 mircea_popescu: aaand considering it's been coupla weeks,
trinque care
to put an eta on it ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well,
that'll only last
till new deedbot :D
lobbes: mircea_popescu: yeah, was
thinkinging of allowing it
to sit in n number of castles
mircea_popescu: lobbes you wanna do eulora-and-your-castle sorta
thing ?
lobbes: and
to remind:
this current bot also will only announce in #eulora (I'm still debating about where new bot should annouce)
mircea_popescu: in point of fact
this is a well oiled piece of machinery
that we've fine
tuned over year+ in
the other hall.
mod6: gets me on
the regular
mod6: lol,
thing
tab-completes
to
the bot every
time.
mircea_popescu: hanbot do me a favour and add a wu
thing for
the fellows also. help
the rocket along!
mircea_popescu: (for all
the interested parties : lobbesbot announces
the current slate of auctions hourly in #eulora, and privately on request. see
the very useful manual lobbes wrote for it.)
lobbesbot: mod6: Error:
Try bidding moar. Starting Bid is 310.08mn, you bid 305763640
mod6: oh, was looking at
the '336' line from
trinque. herp.
mircea_popescu: i don't have a ready list of
the many varieties of items
therein sold, maybe lobbes keeps it as part of his eventual marketing efforts, but anyway. it's known diversity.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-05 02:10 asciilifeform: so mircea_popescu dun actually have objection
that
the item being auctioned is not euloric ?
lobbesbot: AUCTION # 366 STARTED by
trinque: 2000 usd WU Opening: 310080000 coppers Ending: 2018-10-19 02:32:35 UTC (336 hours)
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck ever closes anything, and if
they do why;'d
they open it.
mircea_popescu: heck, half
the fucking reason we even did pizarro was
to get
this going, if yo urecall.
trinque: lol, shift-q is remarkably close
to ctrl-w
mircea_popescu: and i expect as
the
thing starts getting some history behind it,
time intervals can narrow out, removing most of
the fx unpleasantness.
mod6: I'd love it, make me a helluv a lot less nervous -- as I was for
the last 10 days.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i
think
that's very sensible, have some cash on hand jic.
mod6: And we'd bid, because I'd like
to have some extra cusion in our account down
there.
mod6: I'm not confident
that we could get
that done as quickly as we need it. I did ask, a lot if people were interested. But no
takers. But anyone is free
to start up an auction now.
mod6: Besides, we really need
to get
the money moving; even if we wanted
to do an auction now, we need $5000.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wouldn't go back on a deal. but
the past is
the past, what's
to keep you from doing more for
the future.
mod6: It's already in motion. Sent him
the coins yesterday.
mircea_popescu: in any case
to date danielpbarron 's been on
the ball facilitating conversions also.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the only important magic number is
the 10e9 ecu = 1 btc value. otherwise
the whole
thing's open, you can just say i dunno, "will only
take BTC" as a comment in
the next line, or w/e.
trinque: it's no problem;
this is why I
threw a friendly punch instead of quitting
the service.
mircea_popescu: well i
think part of
the problem may be he himself didn't well understand
this before right now.
mod6: any regular buyers of btc should just
throw out an auction for some minimal amount. Say $500 USD, and once pizarro wins
those aucutions,
they'll get
the hang of it.
trinque: mod6:
the hinting
thing doesn't work. put a blog post out and give direction, pizarro's process is
to ...
mod6: yeah, i
think as people see a few of
these
take place, it'll make a bit more sense.
mircea_popescu: mod6 maybe a lot of
this isn't well understood, we got a situation of everything waiting for everything else.
mircea_popescu: symbolic, abstractly defined denominations, like
the roman empire's solidus, or what have you.
they don't even have
to exist
to be used.
mod6: i pasted
that log line above because i was hinting
to readers "hey, if you want
to buy pizarro's coins,
this is how you do it." But no one even asked.
trinque: more or less what's sitting in
the deedbot db
mircea_popescu: ecu is an ~account currency~. you know what
those are ?
mod6: asciilifeform: well,
that's just
the
thing. anyone who wanted
to sell fiats, didn't start up an auction.
mircea_popescu: because it'd run in
the obvious -- "you don't like it, put some grease in, what's keeping you".

trinque: gotta say, I'm eventually going
to cancel my service if
this "we pulled
the price out of our asses, and here it is"
thing doesn't
turn into a process somebody surfaces on a blog somewhere.
trinque: what's
the ecu
to btc bridge, in-game, or requires another sale?
mircea_popescu: the great flexibility of
this
thing allows you
to make your own symbols and so on, it's really well made.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 1bn ecu = 1 btc. 168 is hours
to live, here 1 week. "wFF" is a symbol i ad-hoc'd, "wired filthy fiats". explained in
the next line. q0 is just a joke as
to
the poor quality of
the fiats in question, has no bearing in
this context.
