mircea_popescu: ah. well i wouldn't know "your" system. what you've written so far is coherent with naive nominalism, ie the ideology of all youths. occam requires it be described as such.
nubbins`: the postal clerk filled out all the customs forms for me. pretty sure they're all marked as "t-shirt", gift, no cash value
nubbins`: tree paper just isn't as nice
truffles: if only that bitcoin thing could be used as money
Jere_Jones: And, as far as I can tell, there aren't any real good options when it comes to banks.
nubbins`: and as a further response, i'd sooner put my eyes out than work in IT again
mod6: ahh i see your comment and reply in that article: I believe that efficiency in computer design is a false god. Give me an “inefficient” but responsive and “Seven-Laws Compliant” computer any day of the week in place of the monstrous PC, that race car which regards steering wheel input as mere advice and so eagerly speeds off cliffs and into embankments. << hahaha
asciilifeform: but never as a foundation for anything claiming to be a 'redesign of computing'
asciilifeform: linux, as 'necessary evil'
asciilifeform: there is such a thing as an 'impedance mismatch.'
mod6: ahh, as far as leaking key part: Obviously should you reuse the same key to sign a different message you’ll be leaking key bits and eventually your key can be brokenii. << noted.
mod6: so as in the Lamport scheme: RNG produces 256 p & q respectively (512 hashes total), each 256 bits in size these combined are the privkey (p1->256+q1->256 )all of these together equal the privkey. and the pubkey is each of the 512 p's & q's hashed (256 bit) and concatenated together?
jurov: pankkake iirc it was revealed as scam
skinnkavaj: It's not like LTC is going away anytime soon. LTC is here to stay as long as BTC is here to stay. Then we might have another competing coin that take over in the future, but that will take a lot of time even if its better than BTC/LTC.
pankkake: they check as hard as porn sites who ask you if you are 18 I guess
deadweasel: they would probably describe themselves as businessmen.
skinnkavaj: (15:15:57) (skinnkavaj) Will you use Litecoin as a hedge against a falling Bitcoin in the future?
nubbins`: kako, as an abrasive
nubbins`: cleanup is as easy as scrubbing some coarse salt around the pan with a paper towel

Vexual: with a howto on trilema as soon as the check clears
Namworld: 0.1 is high as fuck...
mircea_popescu: Not everyone in technology wants to flee, though. Catherine Bracy, director of community organizing at Code for America, criticized this genre of thinking as reflecting a simple lack of exposure by many Valley engineers: “Most of them aren’t confronted with or don’t have an understanding of most problems regular people are facing. If they had to collect food stamps or ride the bus or send their kid to public scho
pankkake: well obviously as you can buy more with the same amount of btc now
KRS1: premined to all hell as i have read it
skinnkavaj: If it wasn't for hiring MPOE-PR as staff I wouldn't bash on mircea_popescu for having bad security
pankkake: or as mpoe-pr says "lurk moar"
mircea_popescu: skinnkavaj dude stop drowning yourself in words. if you think ltc will go up as high as 0.04 btc, you can take the 10:1 odds against on that bet and make out like a pirate.
skinnkavaj: pankkake: Yes, but as stated. I want the bet to be in USD value.
pankkake: I guess you could use btc-e as a source, it has both exchangeable to fiat
asciilifeform: 'community' typically conceived as meaning 'jokers like me'.
pankkake: perhaps as a Shift key
jurov: i always seek to have big desk with monitor as far as possible... means whole hands resting and no RSI, foreplay or not
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, this is also why ipads are doomed as a serious technology. no right click ? fu.)
asciilifeform: yep. same as air hammer operator's disease
mircea_popescu: yeah. loss of fine motor control as a result of inervation of the gross motor pathways.
mircea_popescu: same problem as the touch screen :
mike_c: then you will probably say "no" at that time as well :)
mircea_popescu: so, in general mike_c i can see some merit for what you're saying, and in the end things are going to move that way. mpex is in no way given for all time as it is.
mircea_popescu: let's take a case, as a for instance. you write 1000 calls @200, deposit 1000 btc.
nubbins`: as if i'd follow a referral link that says "fuk u" at the end! ;)
mircea_popescu: mike_c by the end of this month you can count on it as impossible.
mircea_popescu: dude wtf, this is about to resolve as yes.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` unbelievable as this may sound, i was a much cuter kid.

jurov: is he a trolltalk treasurer as well? maybe i can win the bet at last :P
mircea_popescu: so this is why people were bitching to basically be alloweds to use bitbet as an escrow for months
bob____: kako, if there are 10mm shares of s.bbet, how come the dividend pays out as if there were only 3mm shares?
truffles: might as well be
nubbins`: now, that does raise the question as to why pineapple makes my mouth bleed
nubbins`: it's funny though, if they're peeled it's not nearly as bad
nubbins`: as long as you don't adulterate it
nubbins`: as in "oh shit, why is this still less convenient than cash"?
ThickAsThieves: music as a business is no fun anyway
nubbins`: not on the same level as dick surgery, but ya know
nubbins`: so, as humans, we put sensible limits on things
truffles: "longstanding history as a borrower"
Namworld: Well I'm looking to borrow BTC in slices of 25 BTC. Anyone interested? I have a longstanding history as a borrower.
pankkake: though he said after that he planned to give back as much balances as possible, might be the reason it's still up

pankkake: http://devnull-as-a-service.com/
kakobrekla: the thing is, as an asset manager you are supposed to better at handling money than other people
mike_c: with profit paid as dividends?
mike_c: and the evidence that I have as an investor that you are awesome at this is 3 months of profits..
mike_c: ok. so, i give you 100 btc. you use that as collateral to trade EUR/USD. hopefully you make profit. you give me back 102 btc.
pankkake: http://bitbet.us/bet/528/activemining-will-be-profitable-for-most-investors/ counts as a loss for me, but I didn't invest those 0.03 myself (http://bitbet.us/stats/1BASZgBk2LeZuLvpnbJfYrnWRvDLmqQNa3/)
Namworld: He used to be around more often... Still around but not talking as much.
Ademan: how does one use BTC as TP? Do you have to make paper wallets first?
Namworld: It's been one heck of a trip. Mircea now uses BTC as TP.
dexX7: even 2-3x fees. one tx goes to the exodus address to "register" your action, the other one goes into the void and encodes the data and the third one may be used as actual value tranasfer
Ademan: ThickAsThieves: You manage AM1 on Havelock as well right? Will you be doing PT conversions if that were to happen?
Ademan: Ah, as long as we're not talking about havelock (yet :-( )
ThickAsThieves: as unofficial service of sorts
mircea_popescu: strictly as a convenience so people d on
topace: but its onyl CAD, though i suppose it would work outside canada as long as its on the "interac" network
kleeck: Well, well, well. It wasn't India after all: http://www.csiro.au/Portals/Media/Bats-confirmed-as-SARS-origin.aspx
mircea_popescu: yes, as a rule of tumb. but maybe you tacked your test run into an incomplete other wafer.
mircea_popescu: they don't have a job anyway, might as well live somwehre da police ain't husslin them for pot.
mircea_popescu: as far as government employees, people on the government dole and unemployable youths are concerned,
mircea_popescu: i could see a situation where he doesn't know how to use it and doesn't trust anyone to. this situation, obviously, can't stand as an explanation.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bob____ there's such a thing as claim analysis. if you make a claim that has about 10% chances that's a 10% chance. if you make twenty claims each with 10% chances that's 10^-18%
topace: SUPERMEGAMININGMEGACORP is pleased to announce our new IPO, to raise $5million dollars to roll out 16nm ASIC MINING in partnership with TSMC. On the 20nm front the wafers are not just in production, there are devices on the market using it that you can buy. No word on the higher performance variants but the SoC process is good to go. 16nm as the label suggests is still in development and that is
mircea_popescu: also contrary to older but just as popular belief, girls that enjoy sex aren't usually carrying vd.
nubbins`: ""badBIOS," as Ruiu dubbed the malware, has the ability to use high-frequency transmissions passed between computer speakers and microphones to bridge airgaps."
nubbins`: you might as well call the telephone a collaboration system
jcpham: i think of it more as real time collaboration and messaging software

truffles: that coin is too pretty to be used as exchange
jurov: Actually, there will be a LLC listed as CoinBr operator soon :)

jurov: perhaps it was not meant as answer to coinbr refcode at all :D
Vexual: i want two of those nsa t's so i can not go to a party as not something atall
Namworld: Instead of being an open-source currency, ripple is (not sure if it is yet) an open-source ledger of who owes who, with debt used as money. If that's not an issue in your book...
nubbins`: mildly amusing that all these news stories are talking about "world's first bitcoin atm!", but in canada they're referred to as ABMs (automated banking machines)
pigeons: ok, seriously, what I don't get. If its okay to open an exchange in the UK so long as you comply with all Food and Drug Administration safety rules, why did he have to close GLBT?
