pankkake: punkman: well
the idea is interesting, but seems
to rely on
their website. also node.js :(
r3wt: hey gribble i want
to register but don't want
to use GPG
gribble: (register <nick> <keyid>) -- Register your GPG identity, associating GPG key <keyid> with <nick>. <keyid> is a 16 digit key id, with or without
the '0x' prefix. We look on servers listed in 'plugins.GPG.keyservers' config. You will be given a random passphrase
to clearsign with your key, and submit
to
the bot with
the 'verify' command. Your passphrase will expire in 10 minutes.

benkay: defo my mistake in designing my regen motor: going for Isp and not
testability.
benkay: not your best ISP, but definitely your best bet on fuel choices
that aren't lethal without millions of USD in support staff and infrastructure.
benkay: too scared
to ever
test it
benkay: at which point i was sucked off
the rocket
team and into
the quadrotor
team
benkay: now
the fins spin, and
the rocket goes straight!
benkay: then we decoupled
the fins from exerting
torque on
the rocket body
mircea_popescu: the longer you go w/o spending it,
the more your prize
turns out
to be.
benkay: on
the first run
this lead
to an inversion of control, and eventually just crazy roll rates
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly, it occurs
to me
that bitcoin makes
th ebest fucking prizes you can give :
benkay: they induce airflow in a helix around
the body, which when it impacts
the giant stablization foils at
the bottom
benkay: anyways, it's required because you have
these
tiny little control surfaces
that swivel around up at
the
top of
the body
benkay: and
the bearings
themselves are actually pretty small -
they're just races attached
to
the frame
benkay: har not a consideration for
this hog
benkay: tiny small control surfaces at
the
top
benkay: big fucking bearings
too
benkay: we reverse engineered
that from other rockets controlled with canards
benkay: but its got some sweet mechanics
too, you'll note
that
the fins spin independently of
the rocket body
benkay: basically built by ee's as a flight platform for
their electronics
mircea_popescu: if nothing else we'll at least get
to find out about shit everyone else
thought we knew about (tm)
benkay: i nominate portland state aerospace society for
their open source rocketry work
mircea_popescu: the fact remains
that whatever interests us is what matters in
the world henceforth, and whatever interests whoever else, seven billion anon rats, is not worth a cigarette butt.
mircea_popescu: if ppls wanna do physics
too we do physics
too. with a focus on rocketry or w/e interests us.
mircea_popescu: that's why godoshi has given us
the concept of altcoins.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe. i mean... you know, do whatever we want
to do.
mircea_popescu: cads herbi and whoever else
this goes for you
too, even if you're poor.
mircea_popescu: so srsly, no
trolling,
try and come up with a broad criteria. like a sentence or something, a paragraph.
mircea_popescu: a mechanical
turk you can have, an automated gentleman you can't have.
mircea_popescu: may be a good idea,
tho i fear automated
trust systems may be hijacked in
the way kakobrekla describes.
mircea_popescu: im just
trying
to export my boardroom into your lives over here. i
tell you, it works!
mircea_popescu: gotta have disagreement and scream at each other
to end up with a good prize.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's
that retard someone was recommending buying puts on
the stock indexes for 10 years, showing like -5% on his hedge funds lol
mircea_popescu: plus you're buddy-buddy with
the entire fucking academy.
mircea_popescu: what's
to keep
them from it ? let
the entire rest of
the world learn what it has
to do in
the nwo.
mircea_popescu: definitely herbi or mike_c could get one if
they keep with
their blogs.
mircea_popescu: the sponsors (ie, members of
the academy) would have
to be.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the recipient wouldn't have
to be in
the wot,
mircea_popescu: because
those are
too busy giving
the prize
to retarded monkeys.
mircea_popescu: there's hundreds
to pick from, and none of
them EVER make it on
the libertard-run nobel rolls
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "for outstanding contributions in
the field of economics"
kakobrekla: ok can you give me 5 possible candidates for
this ? i cant
think of
two.
mircea_popescu: which is kind-of
the point of it in
the first place anyway.
mircea_popescu: well obviously we can't let
this run as a dollar auction.
kakobrekla: given your confidence i could rob you of all your btc in
that way if i gather >
than you
mircea_popescu: w don't want any random
tard's calls and notions anyway.
jurov: what if someone makes 51% attack and
takes
the pot?
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i'm definitely supporting
this but more like a matching
thing.
kakobrekla: if anyone can vote
to according
to
their btc deposit weight
then we can end up with completely different game where mp always wins.
mircea_popescu: so looking in
the deep of
the deepest of your soul!! and such, what would be
the criteria one'd actually meet you'd respect
mircea_popescu: take obama, he's not rich because he melted down
the peace gold medal, he's rich because he bleed dry a quarter billion idiots.
mircea_popescu: after all, someone winning
the nobel prize for actual merit is already independently well paid anyway.
r3wt: you can
tell me why im here?
mircea_popescu: this is supposed
to work so as
to humble
the nobel idiocy, not necessarily as
to make
the recipient rich.
mike_c: i don't! point being
that
the prize would be dwarfed by
the recipients already worthy rewards from winning in
the marketplace.
r3wt: we do have something very cool in
the works. i'm sure no one will see it coming either.
mircea_popescu: r3wt well being here works wonders
to defuse such
tension.
mike_c: wouldn't
that recipient have already amassed quite a sum by doing whatever he won
the prize for?
r3wt: just
try
to understand where i'm coming from if you can
mircea_popescu: all we need is
to agree on some gross criteria,
then people construct a nominee list and all contributors vote on it
r3wt: but i'm not saying its not my fault because it sort of all falls on me in
the end
mircea_popescu: we collect a pot by donation, whoever wants
to contribute.
then
the pot is on a fixed date distributed
to one recipient.
r3wt: other
than Dogecoin everything is good
r3wt: Nothings wrong. i registered
the llc and some of
the staff didn't want
to abide by
the legal requirements and left. i've been afk, so withdrawals
tend
to pile up with no one
to confirm
them
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu i
think you would have hard
time finding
the nominees
mircea_popescu: which nobel prize story inspires me. shouldn't we have a yearly prize of some sort for some
thing ?
r3wt: i was
told
to come here
r3wt: i was invited
to join
the WOT, i had never heard of it before now
r3wt: jurov:
thank you much my friend
