BayAreaCoins: Sadly you are going to have child labor in everything... all the way from making shoes to now mining. I don'
t think it can be avoided, but I think the game is swinging more toward bots... which obviously doesn'
t matter bot or not if it is a 5 year old running it.
benkay: <BayAreaCoins> I was talking about that human mine able one. Hopefully it doesn'
t turn into Child Slavery Sweatshop coin // how would it not?
BayAreaCoins: I was talking about that human mine able one. Hopefully it doesn'
t turn into Child Slavery Sweatshop coin :) I'm still waiting for Klu Klux Koin because I know it will get in a lot of peoples feelings :D
BayAreaCoins: and lol @ slavecoin too, I really hope it doesn'
t turn into that.
mircea_popescu: prior to that i ran romania's most read blog, a local digg like service (reddit wasn'
t really all that big yet).
BayAreaCoins: Right of course. I sell fire arms for bitcoin too on BTCtalk, but I only ship to America atm which probably isn'
t much help for you :)
mircea_popescu: anyway, those of you who aren'
t aren'
t well advised to share where you hide your remaining wealth with anyone
BayAreaCoins: However I can assure you there are a number of us who aren'
t :) Don'
t get too down on good ole 'Murica ;)
BayAreaCoins: Obviously there is a decent demand for offshore banking, but I don'
t know a single one that I can set up within 10minutes from the comfort of my house and have it funded as well. Sure you can afford the flight, but you'll get laughed out of the bank.
mircea_popescu: you seem to think "people" is a thing. "people" is not a thing, but at least two : the people who don'
t matter, and the people who, if they feel like it, fly over here, open a bank box and bang a coupla hotties the same night
BayAreaCoins: I think a number of people in my country (America) are very very interested about how to bank "off shore", but they don'
t have the proper contacts. I believe if this was set up it would give people the ability to go off shore within a hour of deciding they wanted to (by using btc, also the extra $ flowing in isn'
t going to kill any of us either)
BayAreaCoins: But let me jump back to that off shore paper wallet thing really quick if you don'
t mind.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t understand how dual sha-scrypt improves security.
assbot: * Now talking on #bittrex * Topic for #bittrex is: richie doesn'
t know how to s - Pastebin.com
mircea_popescu: i guess an automated online auction scalper isn'
t the absolute worst first project someone may try.
BayAreaCoins: Can'
t live life in fear of failure or you'll never take the chance you need to succeed. If I had a nickle for every time I fucked up... I'd have far more nickles than I do now ;)
mircea_popescu: BayAreaCoins well then you won'
t be too surprised we just expect you to fail and learn from the experience ?
mircea_popescu: * Topic for #bittrex is: richie doesn'
t know how to send emails OR use topics...
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell hanbot remember the guy that sent a complaint to spanish police (where he was at the time being an romanian temp worker) that mtgox won'
t send him proof of its id ? he's dead.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if there isn'
t a face there to stop your fist, your arm has to do it. and it's not really equipped or designed for such.
artifexd: I know mpex went down due to hard drive issues. Isn'
t it back up? I haven'
t seen any mpex trades in a few days.
mircea_popescu: i can only tweet @whatever for as long as he doesn'
t kill anyone.
BigBitz: I don'
t believe drug related.
BigBitz: You don'
t know Rik Mayll bud?
mircea_popescu: as long as you keep most of the board cool, mostfets can'
t make enough heat to cook themselves.
artifexd: My ears aren'
t near as sensitive as yours so I'm good with a few slow moving fans on the radiator.
artifexd: Waterblocks are available for just about everything now. It can take some looking. They aren'
t cheap. But they work well.
artifexd: I don'
t think I would use copper tubes. My configuration changes too often.
artifexd: Most decent water blocks don'
t come with connectors at all. Just threaded holes.
mircea_popescu: (this neatly dovetails in stan's "deform barbs" problem above : if you're building an army you don'
t want a 2nd cavalry, to argue with your 1st. you want an infantry too)
kyuupichan: This miner filling blocks with satoshi spam isn'
t going away. Sigh.
xmj: I have .net and don'
t use it but for email ... why do people not see such things :(
xmj: jurov: looks like a variable that should be set isn'
t jurov: i can'
t run server recentl yat all, always get above shortly after start
punkman: this Levine guy isn'
t so bad, even has footnotes
punkman: "Algorithm to replace human review of proposals." <- I just can'
t see that happening
punkman: spent the afternoon making a big sand castle, found a thai restaurant that wasn'
t horrible, very rewarding
davout: mircea_popescu: lol didn'
t i show you this one ?
davout: the reason we don'
t shower is that we naturally smell awesome
davout: mircea_popescu: don'
t even get me started
mircea_popescu: why put a pike on display just to stab yourself on the eye with ? just don'
t mention statistics at all, and merely go on derping nudely, "i want uber to be worth moar"
bitcoinpete: so with pirate, we can'
t make prototypes because we don'
t know if he'll say yes?
mircea_popescu: that's why you don'
t let derps build unstable skyscrapers. not because the thing WILL fall, but because the thing MIGHT fall
mircea_popescu: if there were no pirate and no silkroad whatshisname, the usg wouldn'
t be tempted today by the very dangerous heresy that "maybe it can make it on its own"
benkay: <asciilifeform> it isn'
t wasted 'correctly' though. it ends up feeding folks who ought to have gone hungry // <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform that's the minor part of the binomial. the major part is that it is removed from folks who shouldn'
t have had it. // wait how is taking the money from people who shouldn'
t have it and giving it to others who shouldn'
t have had it either not subtracting a from x and then adding a back to x?
mircea_popescu: but the reason these derps are on kickstarter and bitcointalk instead of whatever mine isn'
t that they had enough money and bought their way out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's the minor part of the binomial. the major part is that it is removed from folks who shouldn'
t have had it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sane people also aren'
t on kickstarter, nor do they think everyone's their peer, nor do they think they have something to "contribute" in random fields that never heard of them.
mircea_popescu: the problem with kickstarter and the shit trying to copy it isn'
t that it wastes a lot of money, but that it wastes it pointlessly.
mircea_popescu: assbot: Kickstarter project spent $3.5M to finish a working prototypeand ended in disaster | Ars Technica << punkman to be fair, that's not really either important or making a lot of sense. sometimes prototypes fail, which is why they're called prototypes. i don'
t think you can find any item which didn'
t have millions "wasted" in prototyping
mircea_popescu: it won'
t soon end. next move is rap derps going on about their bitcoin creed
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: if you want the babes to be REALLY impressed with your car, then it would be a pretty sweet thing. << like london. can'
t park your zonda anywhere
mike_c: it has held up because the exchange rate has been so stable. the guy doesn'
t seem like a scammer, or even incompetent. it would be a good investment if bitcoin didn'
t exist.
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> tbh i don'
t get that bitcoinnews article. wtf is it supposed to be ? /// me either, it reads like it was sleepwritten
punkman: you wouldn'
t believe the amount of spam Uber and Lyft are spreading, trying to recruit new drivers
xmj: mike_c: I don'
t work >for< benkay. I work with him.
TheNewDeal: bingoboingo that video was awesome. Live in the MN, but haven'
t been back much during the past few weeks
mircea_popescu: think about it... every new human has the same basic needs, but as you keep adding them to the long end of stupidity they don'
t actually add a full measure of attention.
mircea_popescu: tbh i don'
t get that bitcoinnews article. wtf is it supposed to be ?
decimation: then the fact that DC can'
t keep its radio system running
decimation: Isn'
t Lyft the one that works on "donations"
decimation: I don'
t think you would be placing fine pitch parts without optics
TheNewDeal: I actually didn'
t until saying sure, but still humorous nonetheless
mircea_popescu: is this in the "i can'
t believe i know any dragons" category ?
mike_c: you do seem to get into it with benkay's staff. doesn'
t xmj work for him?
