pgp: yeah - been following this site - decent implementation..
truff1es: all the squiggly lines..
pgp: love that chart..
kakobrekla: from pgp mouth to gods ears http://blockchained.com/depth_mtgox_15d.png
ThickAsThieves: if it holds we're about to go bullish more solidly
ThickAsThieves: KRS1, the only thing I'm looking at with BTC price right now is the lower curve for the past 8 mos or so
truff1es: only 100 to go
gribble: BTCUSD ticker | Best bid: 110.01501, Best ask: 110.36000, Bid-ask spread: 0.34499, Last trade: 110.36000, 24 hour volume: 62591.71220051, 24 hour low: 108.80000, 24 hour high: 116.77700, 24 hour vwap: 113.09620
pgp: 100 looks likes good support, though..
pgp: all indicators are pointing to at least a short term rollover...
KRS1: pgp: what do you think about it atm
ThickAsThieves: i only follow the price when i am selling or buying
KRS1: does anyone follow the RSI

pgp: I like to think of myself as "black label soluable"...
pgp: nice thing about BL is that I can get it most any place in the worldd
ThickAsThieves: i'm drinking too, which is unusual lately
ThickAsThieves: about 1550BTC in AM trades
mircea_popescu: ya. 10k am trades worth 10btc. 10 mpex trades worth 10k btc.
truff1es: i thought there would be news on the mjr blog on the trades..
ThickAsThieves: other than a bajillion AM trades from assbot
ThickAsThieves: room has been quiet most of the day
dub: true, we should move chats to #bitcoin-trollbox
truff1es: room is on hyper geek mode today
mircea_popescu: how did i get mixed up in all this.
dub: I think my DMC share is worth more than any other
dub: can I get 9 more at that price?
Diablo-D3: dub: oh, buy 10 more and I'll trade you 1 AM share
dub: Diablo-D3: try to keep up bro, I have 1
Diablo-D3: pgp: typedef struct { ILLEGAL, PIRATE, BITCOINICA, FORUM_IS_DOWN, PRICE_IS_DOWN, NOTHING = -1 } fuck_t;
ThickAsThieves: but youre too slow
ThickAsThieves: dub i keep trying to buy yours
pgp: i wonder what that event enum looks like...
Diablo-D3: yeah thats what I mean
dub: as in, lots of people lose the farm
Diablo-D3: who said asicminer might be the next pirate
mircea_popescu: in principle. this is all very early tbh.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: do you intend to offer it for sale?
mircea_popescu: i guess the original yes belied as much, nehj ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you are already developing exactly this, in-house? or intend to?
mircea_popescu: i'm more like a prospective producer than a prospective buyer.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: one problem: AFAIK you're the only prospective buyer. interested? what would your specific requirements be?
asciilifeform: dub: if you can break the BTC crypto, don't settle for small change, go pwn the world
asciilifeform: I have an FPGA board right here on my desk, with a completely verifiable TCP/IP stack
dub: I can break whatever you are trying to achieve on the wire
asciilifeform: dub: no card. just the transformer and plug
dub: you added ethernet to you pga though
pgp: any "weapons design" resources links that yo care to share?
dub: I don't see why this is better than some kind of signed software
Diablo-D3: all two of them.
asciilifeform: all I'm doing in this thought experiment is applying the traditional principles of serious weapons system design to BTC.
asciilifeform: if performance isn't critical, they mix just fine
pgp: asciilifeform: i like the way you think...
asciilifeform: the idea would be to have an implementation of BTC which could be understood in its physical entirety.
inhies: block 235234 is older than block 235233
asciilifeform: supplied in sealed boxes, with manufacture dates predating the design of the hypothetical system.
asciilifeform: the client would choose the fpga and the board, and could even physically supply it
mircea_popescu: perhaps run into trouble as the blockchain goes over 1tb
asciilifeform: the product I envision would be a single-purpose device which runs the block chain and only the block chain. the FPGA code implementing the instruction set, firmware, etc. would form a complete description of the system.
asciilifeform: there are numerous available FPGAs which have a programming interface which is not accessible from the routing fabric (i.e. separate pins.)
mircea_popescu: pgp this is true of course.
pgp: noted... have you been reading about all sorts of "counterfeit" chips coming out of china with built in backdoors. Just because its hardware, doesn't mean it can be blindly trusted...
asciilifeform: and this: http://it.slashdot.org/story/10/03/27/2145255/remote-malware-injection-via-flaw-in-network-card
dub: yeah but why is a PGA more trustable
asciilifeform: dub: solving this: http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html
asciilifeform: to understand why one might want to do this, see: http://underhanded.xcott.com/
asciilifeform: they are trying to phase out even linux
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually the russians were reusing linux for that purpose
asciilifeform: secure like a Russian ICBM. not like the idiot western SCADAs.
asciilifeform: you don't want x86, unix, etc. (much less microcrap) in a ballistic missile. esp. one aimed at the U.S.
