tg2: It's there any traction to have the irs change their stance on btc?
Apocalyptic: fico is the last thing slovakia needs right now
mircea_popescu: o look at that, fico lost!
mircea_popescu: well the others you really can't have a problem with. because who'd you have a problem with ? they're not here.
dignork: asciilifeform, well, I have this http://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/2.4GHz-RF/nRF24LE1-OTP on hand, but I don't have equipment to actually look at the chip structure though :(
asciilifeform: the folks who understand their worlds being imaginary, i've no problem with.
mircea_popescu: how many brain cycles have various anon derps wasted on rehashing their imaginary worlds ?
mircea_popescu: at least we're using the brain cycles on things that actually exist.
mircea_popescu: "I stumbled upon this brilliant piece of journalism written by one “Mircea Popescu”. The title of the article reads “Why Dogecoin is a scam…” and the contents are amusing."
asciilifeform: how many 'brain cycles' we've all wasted on obsolete tech!
asciilifeform: incidentally, this reminds me of a scheme i came up with for re-writing 'cd-r' disks, before the rewritable kind was available
mircea_popescu: dignork it'd be an extremely rare case where that actually works tho
asciilifeform: now try to buy one.
dignork: asciilifeform, I never actually looked into these chips, but wikipedia says empty PROM is filled with 1's, and you're irreversibly burning 0's
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell decimation the following systematic approach : "you will be born anyway, need to work anyway. why should you be paid ?"
asciilifeform: now go and try to buy a 1980s style antifuse ROM that actually burns
asciilifeform: dignork: notice that the same part number typically comes in a UV window version.
asciilifeform: dignork: i can't promise to re-write one on demand - but they're 'flash' inside.
mircea_popescu: dude what's with all this derpage. avatrade ? future of crypto trading ? what the hell.
dignork: asciilifeform, there are OTP chips, you're saying they can be rewritten?
asciilifeform: just flash that programmatically refuses (or promises to refuse) writing a second time
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well he's mastered them so...
asciilifeform: upgrade all day - just turn the key.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kernel-in-rom never caught on because these fuckwits want to keep versioning everything all the time. gotta upgrade!!1
MisterE: that the order certifying the class?
decimation: my point: his job is exactly to find the one-off's and worry about their retention. What possible "systematic approach" exists, even in theory?
decimation: take 2: According to him:the "long-term right approach is not to deal with these situations as one-off?s but to have a systematic approach to compensation that makes it very difficult for anyone to get a better offer"
decimation: to compensation that makes it very difficult for anyone to get a better offer"
decimation: lol fiat: http://www.scribd.com/doc/201651711/October-24-2013-Class-Cert-Order - this is related to the civil suit against the silicon valley companys for conspiring to limit recruitment
ozbot: The Cashless Society Almost Here And With Some Very Sinister Implications - Waking Times
tg2: there is to much tied through x imo
tg2: And thumb generation
kanzure: e.g. it's not just qtwebkit but it's a qt-release that includes a release of qtwebkit which includes a release of webkit. but the real thing you care about is webkit!
kanzure: even when phantomjs2 comes out in the next few months i would recommend caution because the dependency on qtwebki from a qt release means that you're waiting multiple months for bugfixes to get into phantomjs (so far webkit updates are so far behind it's sad)
kanzure: tg2: and i would say the advantages of running modern webkit far outweigh the troubles with running X... you get Function.prototype.bind :)
kanzure: tg2: however, running X headlessly is not hugely problematic these days because of xserver-xorg-video-dummy
kanzure: tg2: technically no, webkigtk+ requires X unless you find a way to get gtk running without x.. there used to be a way with cairo but nobody seems to care anymore.
MisterE: Breaking news on the missing plane, still nothing found...
kanzure: (context: i've contributed to phantomjs)
kanzure: i highly recommend using recent webkit and just use the gobject bindings
tg2: I believe that's current
MisterE: I switched to FF from Chromium
tg2: > Tfw no benkay

mystisking: whats the future of crypto trading?

Apocalyptic: Opera is the shit now

TestingUnoDosTre: can anyone tell me about gribbles next difficulty calculation
TestingUnoDosTre: how come the expected change is 16,3% when bitcoinwisdom projects 21%
dexX7: haha reddit about friedcat: "I don't know, anonymous according to /r/bitcoin means "will steal bitcoins in future". How do we know the ASICs don't have a function that sends your mined bitcoins to some address at some point in the future or installs a virus on your computer? Is the hardware opensourced?"
dexX7: price tanked, trading halted

From the basic use of a bitcoin wallet to buy a cup of coffee, to running a bitcoin marketplace with hundreds of thousands of transactions, or collaboratively building new financial innovations
asciilifeform: bounce: i was thinking of modern pc
truffles: a pr person that is total pr nightmare, only on internet

Namworld: Someone, please do a retro parody of a platformer, called: "Karpeles and the Search for the Seven Private Keys"
Namworld: Translation: "My keys!? They no work, what happened!? Oh, I have one here in this old backup. Maybe I can keep looking, maybe I find more keys in these old files."
dexX7: or something like that ;)
dexX7: hehe.. the wallet they found was allegedly found, because it was in an old format that new bitcoin clients don't recognize
Namworld: If Karpeles finds more Bitcoins and they're all returned I'll make the weirdest face. "He didn't scam, he just lost the keys? Had to try and find doubles in old backups of data? What stupidity is this?"
ozbot: 'Malleability' attacks not to blame for Mt. Gox's missing bitcoins, study says | PCWorld

asciilifeform: if buying a rom burner, helps to get the kind that takes SOIC-8 socket adapters, for laptop flash
jurov: yes i meant... hundred pocket sized gizmos to be used once in 5 yrs + cables = several boxen labeled shit and "more shit"
asciilifeform: or you meant, on the board
asciilifeform: space?! they're pocket-sized
jurov: one usually does it once in 5 years... not sure if it's worth the occupied space
asciilifeform: these used to be popular in the wake of the '90s 'chernoble' virus
asciilifeform: typically these have a toggle that moves the clock/data line from 1 serial rom to another
jurov: but never actually tried it
