fluffypony: someone else said "tungsten is
the high density option- polyethylene is
the low option. also, for circular orbits below 1000 km radiation is nominal in
terms of bitflips etc."
kakobrekla: the real problem with ssd is
the controller on it
fluffypony: "An SSD is non-magnetic storage,
there is not really any protection needed. Put a metal case around it and im pretty sure it can drop from
the atmosphere into
the ground at free fall speed and still operate once free'd from
the metal casing"
fluffypony: why do I open my big mouth in
the comments section
kakobrekla: take me with you, ill pay for half
the fuel.
HeySteve: "for
the amount saved in mass, you may like
to add extra avionics
to BitSat."
HeySteve: someone is offering his 3d printed cubesat
to
the project
HeySteve: asciilifeform, if you're willing
to
talk me
through
the science I'll write about Cubesats fails because F coindesk
davout: asciilifeform: enjoy your
tectonic plates
HeySteve: is it
the launch vehicle, ones deployed low fail quickly perhaps?
ThickAsThieves: HeySteve, but note
the newer cubes last
the least amount of
time
HeySteve: it seems
they CAN stay up a while, what is different between
the ones
that last 1000+ days and
the month long ones?
HeySteve: asciilifeform, going on deploy date vs. decay date in
the stats
there
fluffypony: davout:
they're probably
thinking
they can just send a Raspberry Pi and an SSD up and it'll work
ThickAsThieves: "There are so many smart forward
thinkers in
the digital currency space. I'm so impressed."
ThickAsThieves: commenters sayng stuff like "This satellite is really important for
the future of bitcoin."
fluffypony: davout: yeah I don't know what
that commenter was
thinking
davout: fluffypony: aren't SSD drives
the least durable one could pick?
ThickAsThieves: making garzik's soliciting for donations
that much more ugly
HeySteve: are
thrusters required
to stop
the orbit degrading or something?
fluffypony: "a 512GB SSD Drive will do in
the satellite for
the coming 10 years. It will barely consume power and generate next
to no heat at all.... It is not like we are sending miners into space, just public nodes carrying
the blockchain...."
fluffypony: asciilifeform: but you don't have (c) and
tm after
that, so how can anyone
trust you
to store
their BTC safely?
ThickAsThieves: "It’s hard
to find someone who wants
to go on record betting against Warren Buffett."
HeySteve: I give peter
todd points for style, mike hearn sounds very grumpy
mircea_popescu: by proving
that, for instance, kali-of-the-tits holds up houses
mircea_popescu: the concept of load bearing can be illustrated by proving
that
the walls
that stand actually have loadbearing ability in excess of
the load
mircea_popescu: no but listen,
this is not a discussion of whether a house collapsed
HeySteve: I would
tentatively suggest an economy is broken if it leaks value into competing economies
ThickAsThieves: you can't say,
the definition of "definition" is definition
ThickAsThieves: but how do you prove
that a functional economy is broken?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves but functional is no argument in
this discussion.
bounce: just add brokers, and free market
theory says it'll cease
to be broken. well, at least
the brokers won't go broke.
fluffypony: that would make it akin
to a natural law, yes?
chetty: yeah keep
trying
to disprove
mircea_popescu: people spending a while
trying
to find a contradiction with reality and failing
to do so.
mircea_popescu: that's wehy it';s so important,
that
theory : because it describes
the limits of
the possibility of being,
mircea_popescu: HeySteve voice here is a wholly innovative, quite well designed
thing. it has exactly nothing in common with "moderation" as used on
the interwebs forums
mircea_popescu: blockchain would only add some further
trust
to
the already existing states, is all.
mircea_popescu: <HeySteve>
timestamping doesn't initially seem
to add much
to a WoT, but I'm starting
to
think
the more data points
the easier
to spot Sibyls <<< wot has
timestamps as it is.
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> first it is not yet proven
that all systems require an "mircean" economy,
though i suspect
they do << all systems contain one, whether aware or not, i'd say.
mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> I'm still stuck on
this Sybil
thing :) if you identify a puppet
troupe, is
there a mechanism
to neutralise it beyond information-sharing? << no, by definition.
bounce: o_O? blah now I need
to go dig.
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> Would it be correct
to say
that Reddit is broken economy in
that downvoters are not identified? << yes, but at an "at least in
that"
HeySteve: essentially mining rights will be restricted
to
those who have been vouched for or rated as definitely being real people
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> if i would've had more
time i would deffinetly do a ISK/BTC exchange just for fun:D << or else just join 1BTC, bitcoin's eve guild, where shares are
tradeable for mpex shares etc.
ThickAsThieves: fluffypony, note
that
this chan does not moderate who can view it
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> who knows what's possible when you add a new feature
that already exists << lmao
bounce: usenet was pretty spiffy before AOL
though. even if you needed a sometimes gigantic killfile
fluffypony: there's
that point about #bitcoin-assets +m producing an aristocracy, of sorts, but
that's not
the same as modereation
HeySteve: fluffypony, nonetheless it is necessary
to have at least level 2
trust with assbot or be vouched for
to participate
ThickAsThieves: the system provides all
the info needed
to decide for yourself
ThickAsThieves: i
think
the point of
the mircean way is
to have "moderation" be dynamic
to
the viewer
