BingoBoingo: Well,
the Cardano uses a battery for a reason...
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Maybe you linked
this, but I recall finding a paper on how SPARC chips can leak RSA keys given an attacker feeding
the system sertain kinds of voltage fluctuations.
dub: wonder if
there is any research into encouraging
them

Duffer1: there's no end
to bitcoin drama
dub: true
to form
the usual
tard brigade
took
the bait, gmax and phantomcircuit

Vexual: just have your lawyer do
the photocopying at your office
mircea_popescu: twist : snackman scammed mike_c by falsely claiming
to have placed more bitbets
snackman: the first
time i actually got some money out of bitbet
mike_c: double
the promised sum because i loved your answer
snackman: mike_c: hilarious, it worked!
thanks!
ManSnack: cazalla:
That dork probably plays WoW
too.
BingoBoingo: I may have plenty of beard, but I'll be damned if my
tits are bigger
than a grown man named Oliver's.
BingoBoingo: For all we know
the person bankrolling LTC ASICs could be Curt Schilling and
the Engineer could be some kid he picked on in highschool who merely has
to fulfill
the objective of making any LTC capable scrypt ASIC at all. Not necessarily anything close
to a profitable scrypt asic.
mircea_popescu: things like "some chick is crazy enough
to produce a pic of a large wooden object stuck in her snatch" is one
thing
mircea_popescu: if such
things were a function of people's crazyness...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well I figure for some unknow n^th announcement one person or group will inevitably be crazy enough
to produce
the asics
mircea_popescu: ironically because of scrypt, fpgas are actually a much better choice for ltc
than asics
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i dunno
that anyone will ever deliver ltc asics. putting all
that memory on a chip is not
trivial.
mircea_popescu: in fact, everyone evaluates
their bitcoin exposure in
terms of what
their bitcoin holdings are.
this is about half
the story.
mircea_popescu: somewhere in
there he failed
to account for
the fact
that having kept his reputation intact for
those
two years is just about as valuable as having kept his bitcoins for
two years.
mircea_popescu: he goes on forum as a week old and is shocked at how mean people are,
telling him
to do 6 motynhs + of reading before he opens his mouth again
BingoBoingo: Seems for Litecoin devotees
this insanity is going
to be magnified as CoinDesk has just reprinted so many people's "press releases" about impending litecoin ASICs and if a single manufacterer delivers it will have meant Litecoin skipped
that awkward FPGA adolescence while still staying a fraction of a fraction of bitcoin
mircea_popescu: two years later, he needs
to be 1 year+ old
to be even considered, because now bitcoin is 4 years old.
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of
truth
to it. let's lay it out : bozo comes in when bitcoin is 1 year old, can start a reputation within a week and be doing business within am onth.
Kleeck_: There is some
truth
to
that, mircea_popescu.
mircea_popescu: that's pretty much
the story of how we ended up with
the insanity.
mircea_popescu: it was stretched past its usability into insanity by a desperate desire and need for stability. bitcoin doesn't offer much of
that,
mircea_popescu: consequently,
the first fpga's were pretty much a potluck affair
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform originally
this started as a hobbyst project.
Kleeck_: The cost of being legit is far less appealing
than
the old "cut and run" I'd assume.
dexX7: they have some strange refund policies, if you mean
that
Kleeck_: Don't
they have a compensation program?
dexX7: hashfast is not shipping/delayed more
than a month now
Kleeck_: ThickAsThieves`, any data
that lead you
that direction? I have no skin in
that game, but I've wondered. It's just a hunch.
Kleeck_: I could walk into my datacenter and snap a bunch of awesome pictures. It doesn't mean I'm mining a damn
thing.
Kleeck_: No. You are current with
the
times.
BingoBoingo: The only problem with HAL is
that
the contractor's specs insisted he be programmed
to run on a Java Virtual Machine
BingoBoingo: Well, we will know when we've hit forbidden
territory when .Europa happens.
mircea_popescu: (dunno if
that cognate works in somalian.
to enstinken)
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla ya but
then
they went and inputsio'd all over it
kakobrekla: i liked
the .io a lot cause of
the jupiters moon
BingoBoingo: Considering earlier references in
this channel has anyone seen Amir's hair yet?
benkay: well gosh snackman read
the log for
the past 10 days
then you might have a clue as
to
the references
Vexual: vd in
the orginal code?
BingoBoingo: Unless we get into some weird gnostic Bitcoin
theology where Amir
Taaki was Satoshi/Jesus and
then gave himself downs syndrome
to hide his secret.
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves`: Who doesn't spread
their coins over at least 7 places?
snackman: maybe i will meet him in
the synagoge on saturday
Vexual: i just went
to my local casino and
tried betting after
the bell. Apparently
the chips go
to
the house.
mircea_popescu: receiving yes. but
they pay from wherever is convenient.
jamespeerless: seems like most wallets let you generate receiving addresses
though
mircea_popescu: not practical for a web wallet
to allocate addresses
to users
jamespeerless: hm I guess I don't understand "wallets" enough
then.. i
thought an address was an address
mircea_popescu: (as most wallets don't have any way
to associate
their payment system
to
their users)
mircea_popescu: also because if i sent
the winnings
to
the address
that sent
the bet people would end up fucked if
they sent from a wallet.
mircea_popescu: cause if 5 peopel sent from
the same wallet
to
the same bet your identifiocation scheme would fail
jamespeerless: why can't
they send from web wallets if you did a single address per bet option
BingoBoingo: Sometimes you wanna hedge. Sometimes you wanna
take all of
the position.
mircea_popescu: you can but you don't want
to, because
this way people can send from webwallets or w/e
jamespeerless: mircea_popescu: can't you read
the from address in
the
transaction block?
