fluffypony: <+ben_vulpes> what happened to the mining rig rack fab operating out of africa? <- that's going extremely well - we showed off the ASIC rack prototypes to those interested at Inside Bitcoins earlier in the year, and a couple of months later we got a lucrative exclusive contract to supply a farm, so we won'

t raised since a year ago. rumor mill says they are out raising again now.

t want you linkign to a 404 page
fluffypony: I don'
t understand the point of their email
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: at least you are managing demand, reminds me of Tesla having a 15000 car wait list, while producing ~5000 cars a year. Won'
t have to worry about new customers off the blocks.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform don'
t throw out your draft letters! will have to append to them!
fluffypony: I don'
t disagree with their decision to call it "nodejs", I think the nodejs developers are the issue - htf do they call the binary "node" when clearly that's a word that may occur on the command-line, being common in computin' circles
thestringpuller: a lot of grad students don'
t use scholarships, but enrollment programs in exchange for being slaves to businesses

fluffypony: which clearly didn'
t stabilise anything
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I agree, but what I mean is that a sidechain can'
t have a direct USD market, for instance, it will always have to go via Bitcoin
adlai: i don'
t mean it in that sense, i mean that their goal is to make innovations in other chains accessible to the bitcoin asset
fluffypony: and if it fails it doesn'
t matter, we're not trying to build a business, we're advancing technology
fluffypony: to get back to the previous convo, though - it isn'
t an "investment", nor has it been pitched as such
fluffypony: adlai: the problem is that the "amazing tech" can'
t easily be copied by BTC - although I'd agree fully on that being applicable to altcoins based off of the Bitcoin codebase. the problem isn'
t so much the code, it's that the stealth addresses + ring signatures are such a radical departure that Bitcoin would (obviously) have to hardfork to an address format that is completely different to their current one (since it requires 2x 256-bit
punkman: but I don'
t want NY sewage

assbot: Logged on 11-12-2014 07:19:05; mircea_popescu: fluffypony understand what i'm saying here. you seem cogent and together, you're working on this whatever thing i can'
t readily evaluate. i'd consider putting a few coins into it ; i can even ignore the involvement of whatever known derp on the theory that on the long term sterile works itself out of metal anyway so who cares.
mircea_popescu: adlai that wasn'
t the most organised argument i ever read :p
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, it gotta somehow make business sense. and the problem is, if it doesn'
t make it for me it doesn'
t make it in general, because what exact particular assumptions got baked in ? nothing much. if there isn'
t a good answer to "so what's my btc buy me" other than handwave, there's probably no better answer to "what's your time buy you" other than, whatever, "playing a mmorpg".

assbot: Logged on 27-09-2014 02:36:41; asciilifeform: 'If you're a defendant, you don'

t get to say money miraculously disappeared from your company...'
undata: I can'
t think of an instance in history where blunt instruments such as these were wielded effectively.
thestringpuller: sure you don'
t sling crack to get lunch money, but you hustle in other scenarios
thestringpuller: undata: but this isn'
t the only factor. unimpoverished children can still amount to hardworking individuals, just with different contexts.
undata: this serfdom thing doesn'
t sound any better than what the man behind the curtain has produced in the garden-variety american derp
thestringpuller: The ones that brand you a fuck-up if you don'
t pass "the entrance exam" of which you only have on opportunity to pass.
thestringpuller: "you won'

undata: don'
t know... my mother was single raising me for part of my early childhood

t be qualified to comment on them
thestringpuller: hopefully I don'
t by xbox live or something in the process :P
decimation: often themselves - self-appointment to what is god and what isn'
t undata: however, it might be adaptive to have a touch of it; would I keep working towards escaping the gravity well if I wasn'
t certain I can accomplish it?
undata: I don'
t know how scientific the Jungian stuff is
undata wonders whether there aren'
t things resembling heaven, hell and the other very basic concepts rolling around in his subconscious
undata: probably crudely useful to imagine "best" and "worst" possible circumstances when you don'
t have many concepts to rub together
