mircea_popescu: i wonder if mining manufacturers are by now screening
their released copy
to bitbetproof it.
ThickAsThieves: make
the bet like AM ships gen3 products before Mar 20
ozbot: ASICMINER: Entering

The Cardano pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: B) Cardano’s firmware.
This is a socketed antifuse (OTP) ROM which is unique
to your unit and is engraved with
the latter’s serial number. If desired, it can be read on a common instrument sold for
this purpose and its contents checksummed or otherwise perused.
The checksum of your firmware ROM is printed on
the bottom of
the chassis, under
the unit’s serial number. For your safety,
this ROM is non-reprogrammable
benkay_: so
the cardano has a card reader built in, on which
the code for
the device is loaded?
benkay_: question was "how open source is it?" and i completely dead-ended because how with a
thing like
the cardano is one supposed
to a) get an idea of
the code on
the device, much less b) actually validate
that code is
there?
benkay_: i got stopped cold in my
tracks
talking about
the cardano last night
mircea_popescu: finally
they've managed
to work
themselves

to
that party
tho, by now my picture is more widely affixed
to dictionary entries
than goldstein
mike_c: i'm going
to start a website
that "explains" all price movements and become rich. like "mpoe just dropped as people realized
the owner has a fondness for poisonous psychoactive mushrooms"
Duffer1: ya
that sounds about right bloc
bloctoc: last
time bitstamp lead gox was right before it broke away from $350 wasn't it?
taub: just surprised
to see a 5% surge and not really anything on
the other exchanges
taub: stopping payments/clsoing down etc, people buying what
they can
to gtfo
taub: kleeck> Why would bad news drive
the price up?
mike_c: i bet
there was. "you send me bitcoin, i promise I'll send back
the yuan. double promise!"
jurov: not following on
them, but
there was interest
mircea_popescu: more like it, someone did a larger arb with
the azn mkt

templar gets
to act me in
the made for
tv movie ?
mircea_popescu: it's what makes a country great, it's what'll make
the country of bitcoin
mircea_popescu: 1. make sure you have a motherfucking point ; 2. explain it
to anyone asking / willing
to listen ; 3. beat
the shit out of anyone not wanting
to listen.
ThickAsThieves: so
the answer is
to be hold our ground and educate any nearby monsters with insults and smacks
to
the back of
the head?
deadweasel: some people break
through, some people bounce off and have
to
try again.
mircea_popescu: maybe he can't admit she
taught him a lot, but nevertheless she has and it's quite visible.
mircea_popescu: anyway, my
takeaway from
that
thread is
that
the sandman or w/e guy

thread nad being used by mpoe-pr for anvil dropping practice

the question he should be asking is why not
