mike_c: maybe
they bought
those new quantum servers
mike_c: i
thought bitcoincharts got new hardware.
gribble: Error: Failed
to retrieve data.
Try again later.
nubbins`: no point for me
to lie, most people here probably already
think i ate
too many paint chips as a child
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: if someone made a bitcoin charts like api
that was more reliable would you be willing
to run
the MPOE bot off
that?
ThickAsThieves: "My only concern is not even
the smartest
tech guys I know
truly understand it. "
pankkake: the first rule about
trading bitcoins is lying about your past performance
mircea_popescu: but anyway, bitcoin is now
that
thing anyone wants
to pretend
they have.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so now you know
the announcer is a lying sob.
nubbins`: ^ at least
that stops you from getting fucked in
the ass
ThickAsThieves: i like
this current magical rewriting of when
the price was at certain points
ThickAsThieves: "I was on
the verge of pulling
the
trigger at $65 when
there was a lull a couple of months ago!! Am kicking myself right now!"
mircea_popescu: deadweasel so far he's way above
the noob curve, as
the others have wisely pointed out.
deadweasel: i just wanted
to discuss with him. his ideas are interesting, if not usable yet.
deadweasel: I'll be very interested
to hear more about what is already underway - will look you up soon on IRC
then.
deadweasel: Thank you for your supportive words. I did not realize
there were similar efforts going on - I hope I am not stepping on any
toes.
deadweasel: Thanks so much for reaching out. I'm embarassed
to say, I was not familiar with MPeX - just having a browse noew and getting caught up.
pankkake: those obscure coins sell well, because noobs can't figure out how
to mine
mircea_popescu: well ok.
thanks for knowing all
this obscure shit, it makes my life easier.
pankkake: do note
that it's with zero investment, just
the few computers I have running anyway
mircea_popescu: had you stuck
the entire
thing in your netherhole it'd have been 10
too.
pankkake: I got my btc from
the instamine, everything's good
mircea_popescu: planning is hard, homie. if it were easy i'd have
to find a honest way
to make a living.
pankkake: no idea how it is supposed
to work
pankkake: anyway,
the idea is
that anything
they will release next will be a chain fork of ProtoShares
pankkake: then he wanted
the exact contrary, make it gpu minable
to be more "decentralized"
mircea_popescu: coming from nubbins` who just got
trampled all
to shit hours ago over his poor litigation planning.
pankkake: oh also
there was a bounty of $5000 for anyone who could prove it would work faster on
the gpu (as
the objective of
the pow was
that it shouldn't)
nubbins`: why does almost everything in
the sphere of btc reek of a complete lack of planning?
pankkake: so he started
trying
to want more "decentralized" solutions
pankkake: he planned
to mine 30% of it but failed because he got his hardware late and fucked up on diff adjustment
ThickAsThieves: hey anyone else have
this kinda phenomenon where you dont
talk about bitcoin socially because when you do it's like youre creating a little monster?
mircea_popescu: well it was
trading around 20 at
the
time, but it had peaked significantly earlier on. 60 or so
mircea_popescu: nubbins` 43`998`459 s.dice shares
traded, for 167063.39157175 btc
total.
nubbins`: on a somewhat related note, anyone else
think voorhees looks like Gob from Arrested Development?
ThickAsThieves: i apologize
to MPOE-PR but I don't have
the energy
to piece-by-piece rebut. generally, i get her points but feel she's being
too fast and loose in justifying
them. No point restating
that in new ways.
nubbins`: was he old enough
to vote at
that point, i wonder?
ozbot: S.MPOE market cap vs S.DICE market cap pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
nubbins`: wonder what
the average market value of s.dice was
ozbot: This is
the story of your loss.
nubbins`: or
those who don't want wet floors
nubbins`: so
the water still went everywhere
nubbins`: and even
this one didn't have a shower curtain
nubbins`: ThickAsThieves: i was in ONE house in korea
that had an actual
tub
mircea_popescu: this is me bitching because
the floor is not properly inclined
ozbot: Instalatorotenia pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
nubbins`: otherwise your socks get wet every
time you
take a piss
nubbins`: great, but you need sandals for
the bathroom
nubbins`: korean bathrooms are like
this
ThickAsThieves: this made me wonder why bathrooms dont naturally have a shower drain in
the middle of
the room
nubbins`: apparently
there was a bad batch of copper put out about 20 years ago, and it's all starting
to fail
nubbins`: i had a gallon a minute coming down
through
the ceiling
ThickAsThieves: luckily
the installers did a good job, and we caught
the leak early enough
to have no notable damage
jcpham: as long as you keep
the water out
nubbins`: but
this house is OLD. all
the wiring is external, even
nubbins`: had
to cut a flowing pipe and fit a valve onto it
nubbins`: shutoff valve wouldn't fully close, and
the city couldn't find
the curb stop
ThickAsThieves: basically when i upgrade my home, i just rent out
the old one, rather
than sell it
jcpham: gotta keep
the water out
nubbins`: yeah, ours is in a good location, but really old and starting
to fall apart
jcpham: i like it for
that purpose
