benkay: Naphex: but can I do all my API calls encrypted
to your pubkey?
Naphex: OHCL-V
Ticker Plant and Payments API+Widgets coming soon
Naphex: withdrawals are blocked from
the API atm, so withdrawals only from frontend
Naphex: you set up an API key and you can just use
that
Naphex: but
the website is meant
too ease up stuff for regular folks
decimation: why can't you replace
the username/password pair with a hash of
the public key?
Naphex: not really, just in
the frontend
benkay: i imagine
the u/p requirement is baked in pretty hard by your framework?
Naphex: with gpg auth
the flow is going
to be username/pass -> gpg otp -> logged in
benkay: my ideal login flow is
to just provide you a key
benkay: am i going
to have
to give you an email as well?
Naphex: probably in a few weeks, is going
to be up
Naphex: already started work on implementing gpg otp in
the validation server
benkay: locals are asking about where
to
trade
these days
ThickAsThieves: btw someone here recommend i watch
the Black Mirror,
turns out I already saw it, and had been
trying
to remember it for a while cuz i liked episode 2
ozbot: BitBet - Bitcoin
to drop under $300 before June

jurov: i an't making it in foreseeable
time anyway. maybe someone does more
thorough calc and writes it up for google
to find
mike_c: artifexd: nethash is
through
the roof
too. altcoin is just booming in general.
artifexd: Last ATC
trade was at 224 satoshis. BingoBoingo pushing up
the price?
mircea_popescu: and
that 4mw figure must be some sort of maximal for shorter distances, i can't imagine putting 4mw
through 100km of fiber.
jurov: i see,
trying
to convert properly
benkay: or if you're doing something like a phased microwave array around
the planet, coating
the bottom of
the vehicle with a microwave rectifier
benkay: oh but mp you can do fun
things with rectifying
the photons and making of
the hotness
jurov: but even if it can replace only 30% energy
that is otherwise needed
to get by burning fuel
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck, how many lux are needed
to boil a mol of water ?
jurov: maybe it can be done in such way it will have enough velocity
to switch
to ion
jurov: the fiber is just a means
to supply energy
to
the
thruster
jurov: i'm *not*
talking about suspended operation
mircea_popescu: the only place where it'd matter would be if
the part of wire with high mommentum was lighter
than
the parts surrounding it.
this isn't going
to happen.
mircea_popescu: jurov
the weight has very little
to do with oscillation.
ozbot: Wine lake - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
jurov: and again, i'm not sure
the pull stress on fiber will end up so big. fiber is already in use for
to communicate with mother ship
ozbot: Beam-powered propulsion - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
jurov: you are
telling me something
that has few grams and 100km will be shaking violently in air?
jurov: it does. lightweight fiber gets dampened more
than heavier rope
mircea_popescu: the weight of
the fiber doesn't really have much
to do with it
jurov: it will *not* oscillate because
the air is viscouous and
the fiber
too light
jurov: yes arbitrary length. i'm gertain you have chick
to pull it off.
mircea_popescu: artifexd
that's excessive, but a cone works well
to resolve
this problem.
jurov: and
try
to play it
jurov: but i insist. make your hair
taut
artifexd: Truly random would mean
that at some point
the diameter would be 0.
mircea_popescu: otherwise your harmonics problem simply reduces
to
the new limits
artifexd: I would
think
that
the minimum diameter (given similar materials) would determine
the breaking point, not whether
the diameter of
this cross section is
the same as
the cross section 100 ft away.
mircea_popescu: so no, making it resistent
to harmonics by making it shittier just means it'll be shittier.
mircea_popescu: and so, for about a century, making better rope was more important for each country
than making better ipads is
today.
mircea_popescu: and since
the ships use cannons,
the larger ship always wins.
mircea_popescu: that longest length of rope valueestablishes
the largest ship you can build, i nthe age of sail
mircea_popescu: it works like
this :
the quality of
the rope (ie, its uniformity) establishes
the longest length of rope
that can be operated credibly
mircea_popescu: do you know what was
the first industrial product, and
the one
thing
that started
the industrial revolution ?
jurov: don't forget
the length (and harmonic freq) will change dramamtically over
time
mircea_popescu: artifexd
this leads you
to
the problem of
the rope. do you know
the problem of
the rope ?
artifexd: Reduce
the quality control on
the fiber productions in order
to introduce random variations in
the fiber
thickness and
thus harmonic frequencies.
jurov: like, you can't play guitar with silk
threads
mircea_popescu: so do
the math. calculate
the
the maximum shear force
that can occur in a
taut fiber of arbitrary length ?
jurov: neds
to be simulated/computed. but i hope for such
thin fiber,
the air is viscouous enough so
that it will dampen it
mircea_popescu: at any arbitrary point 100km worth of air can decide
to sing
traviata into your fiber and
there's jack shit you can do about it.
mircea_popescu: when i was younger i used
to fuck
this young opera singer chick. she did
this
trick whereby she'd sing into a glas
jurov: mircea_popescu: since
the fiber is very light, major factor will be air drag (should be minimal in case first 100km of
takeoff is vertical
takeoff)
benkay: bonuses in preheating
the h2 by cooling incoming air
benkay: effective iSP is much greater
than
that of
tradiitonal rockets, even exotics like RFNO which have been abandoned due
to engineering concerns.
jurov: benkay: it still must carry half of
the fuel
benkay: ;;google
tacoma narrows video
mircea_popescu: jurov ever calculated
the maximum shear force
that can occur in a
taut fiber of arbitrary length ?
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> i doubt he cares
THAT much << i can't imagine either.
jurov: i want someone
to explain me what is unattainable here, so far did not find anything.
benkay: more attainable within our lifetimes, jurov, is
the rocket engine
that uses ambient oxidizer
to mach 5.
jurov: just use it
to deliver large part of energy
to blast stuff
to orvit
ThickAsThieves: just
the notion of wanting altcoins
to die at all says more about
the notioner
jurov: i don't want
to suspend it
fluffypony: asciilifeform: just use
the Web of
Thrust
fluffypony: kakobrekla:
the "please…" line was when he rage-quit
jurov: that's about
the volume of 100km monomode fiber
gribble: Error: Something in
there wasn't a valid number.
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: he's angry
that we spoke about altcoins
