benkay: remote chance and all that
benkay: oh sure but let's say theoretically
mircea_popescu: i have a lot of trouble believing that.
benkay: and a willingness to do it, and possibly a track record of having done it
mircea_popescu: practically, you gotta bring something to the table. if you allow this model where the homeboy wants you to pay for his acquisition
mircea_popescu: anyone's a theoretical entrepreneur
benkay: and that is?
benkay: but that's not what homeboy wants to do
mircea_popescu: if his lowball offer is turned down he puts one guy on the project and has the site replicated by wednesday
Troic: I thought the gem thing was a freak novelty gizmo fad, I liked the bitcoin flower better :).
mircea_popescu: in that case he just makes a lowball offer, buys the site and goes on his way
benkay: all he really has to do is buy ads
benkay: there is a remote possibilty the gentleman has done this thing before and sees an underutilized asset he can buy low and turn the volume up on.
mircea_popescu: limited connectivity to sanity, more like.
benkay: this is the kind of ad hoc business that is enabled by bitcoin

mircea_popescu: I'm here to propose a take over of www.bitcoingem.com together. I was made aware that this is the first chain game and by the looks of its traffic stats its pretty well established.
mircea_popescu: isnt this odd ?
jborkl: maybe he used some of that berechovka that was floating around last year
mircea_popescu: We need to raise 105 BTC. Each 1.5 BTC buys 1 share in the new business. Max 25 Shares per investor.

jborkl: and he needs 100 bitcoins.cant afford that he should leave
mircea_popescu: he's a registered director that can't spell "prove"

dub: you need to open port inbound for more
dub: 8 connections is teh default outbound amount
mjr___: hoping to bring up fix connections and gateway today...hoping
mjr___: on testnet
mjr___: speaking of which, i may need some beta testing done...
mjr___: the EC2 is for the exchange software :)
mjr___: the fact that i got 8 means i should be able to get more though i think
mjr___: but i can't do much with the POS router i get from time warner
jurov: you have these 8 connections on ec2?
mjr___: can't wait to move my ec2 instance up to a high i/o model
mjr___: its using upnp i think
jurov: and also, i repeat if that got lost... it's better to keep it running all the time(hence my mini itx box suggestion)
jurov: yes it does reindex but when pointed to local node on LAN it does it very quickly
mjr___: i heard there was a way to increase how many nodes you connect to
jurov: i enjoy quick tx propagation
mjr___: still has to reindex all but seems to be doing that very quick
deadweasel: does it come in handy when sending txns? can you confirm your own or point it at a reliable node?
mjr___: hmmm windows atm, due to some software compatiblitity issues
jurov: and connect to primary
jurov: yes, under two linux users, if you configure the second to listen on another port
mjr___: ah ok nice, can you run them both on the same machine?
jurov: and it took only one hour over LAN
jurov: since i run two instances anyway, it was easiest to have 0.8.1 sync from 0.7
mod6: jeeze i really need to quit other shit an just do this full time, hard to keep up
mjr___: whats the easiest way to upgrade and do you have to redownload the whole blockchain?
mod6: i think what i remember hearing about it is that 0.8.1 breaks the upgrade process... or it was more problematic then usual.
mod6: jurov: ahh ok that sounds nice
mod6: ahh, ok. i heard there was a fierce debate on that in -dev
deadweasel: because i can't get into #bitcoin-security and see if .8 is borked worse than it seems...
mod6: deadweasel: ahh. i suppose that's a good way to go atm.
deadweasel: mod6: duo but also curious... my instinct is to run .7 with manual patch..
mod6: what's the deal with .8x?
mod6: what version are you guys liking at the moment? i've got .7, but its a ways behind yet.
deadweasel: no, i would not put my keys on ec2 lol.. but thanks for double checking.. :D
mircea_popescu: already had that one lol
jurov: deadweasel, just buy some cheap mini-itx computer and run bitcoind from there. no need to surrender your walet to amazon
