kakobrekla: zomg "i believe
that decentralization in
the central
theme of
the century." dude, it aint funny!
nubbins`: that reminds me, i need
to vault some backups
mod6: ahh cool, never noticed
the "check GPG key quality" link on
the WoT page for a certain registered person, it links
to nosuchlabs.com's collider :)
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Well,
truffles is in
this
thing.
nubbins`: BingoBoingo: "if" i lose
to everyone
nubbins`: i've got a brown
thumb anyway,
the best i'd be able
to do is pull
together a
team on your behalf
nubbins`: oh,
totally, you'd need a dozen or so people at
the least
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: We played well before
the
tournament started I believe. It was
this
thing started on a whim as a four player round robin.
truffles nubbins` and myself were in MP's spec I believe and
then Namworld was online at
the exact right
time. Since we need some sort of
three way
tiebreaker if nubbins` loses
to everyone... Fuck it, five way round robin.
nubbins`: well, if you feel like doing it in .ca, you know a canadian who can wrangle
things. got about 6 months
to make a killing before competition pushes profit down
to a minimum
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic gotta ask BingoBoingo
then, he's been butchering
the championship management.
mircea_popescu: seems it's a better deal
than buy a miner, which is worth less in
time
nubbins`: you're looking at
this from
the perspective of buying a license and selling it, not from
the perspective of actually financing a legal grow-op
Apocalyptic: I remember playing BingoBoingo well before
that
nubbins`: security costs plummet
then, as well
nubbins`: but i mean, just move
the farm outside
the city. 15 minute drive and you're in
the sticks
nubbins`: city bylaws would realistically be
the only other obstacle
nubbins`: BingoBoingo:
then my record remains 0-1
diametric: I feel like
the feds plan is just
to loom over
the industry
to cast doubt on it, but only rarely
try
to enforce it at
the federal level.
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: I don't remember, but I didn't
think Apocalyptic was in
the
tournament.
diametric: They need
to do
that, so someone with
time and money can challenge
that shit
diametric: nubbins`: not for
the reasons you
think
nubbins`: DEA bandaleros can
technically (if not practically) swoop in whenever
they wish
mircea_popescu: the entire point is
the destruction of
the federal level.
diametric: bones`: lots of
things,
though i already have 9 3d printers
nubbins`: the other
thing is
that all
this shit is still 100% illegal on
the federal level
mircea_popescu: nubbins`
the co licenses are worth about 10x what
they cost atm.
nubbins`: anyway regarding
this growing weed business, it's probably not a great way
to make money. so regulation, much red
tape
mircea_popescu: diametric you could probably put it in
the bedroom anyway
nubbins`: diametric: for
the sake of a differing opinion, i
think you should purchase
the luxury item you don't have room for
mircea_popescu: diametric ok so i'll
talk you out of it for a modest fee of 1 btc
diametric: until I build out my garage into a machine shop
this spring
diametric: I've run out of real estate
to put
them
nubbins`: sure, but
that's
true of individuals
too
mircea_popescu: sometimes people fuck it up, like dice seems
to have fucked up /.
diametric: oh man so
tempting a 3d printer I've wanted
to
try for a while can be bought with bitcoin now.
Jere_Jones: I'm
thinking more along
the lines of
the new owners not getting
the benefit of
the previous owners good ratings.
mircea_popescu: the outgoin gowner would sign in favour of
the new owner's key.
Jere_Jones: Would
there be an implied social contract
to not
transfer
the identities private key if
the business changes ownership?
mircea_popescu: the wot is
the corporation register of bitcoin. whether you're a person or anything else, you're equally a corporation anywya.
Jere_Jones: Coinbase (just an example) creates a WOT identity and puts
the fingerprint on
their website. Happy with
the service? Rate it. Unhappy, rate it.
Jere_Jones: Can/Should WOT be used for a business identity instead of
the individuals behind
that business?
mircea_popescu: mike_c
the eyes don't mind all
that much just as long as you don't go all spinoza on
them
mike_c: aren't we all sitting in front of multiple 30" monitors
that are blasting our eyes
to crap anyway?
mircea_popescu: but anyway, everyone :
the best
thing you can do for your eyes is make all
the
text big.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think i've read
type smaller
than about half an inch in
the past decade
mircea_popescu: even so. i make it my policy
to never look at small stuff.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You didn't get him in channel
though.
nubbins`: what's
the biggest res
that HDMI can support at a reasonable framerate, i wonder?
nubbins`: <--doesn't keep up on
tech much anymore
nubbins`: nod. fine for
the size, but if you want something bigger..
TomServo: asciilifeform: got a link
to
the monitor you mentioned?
mircea_popescu: well i guess
this passes
the bar for advertising, what can i say.

ThickAsThieves: there are some stories out
there of customer nightmares
ThickAsThieves: i always assumed
they stopped mining and started faking it at some point
