Bowjob: Wtf. didnt know
they had
that much
bgupta: bear in mind all of
these companies are rank amateurs muddling
their ways
through
this.. companies like amd/intel/ti
they would have shipped.
toffoo: only in
the loosest sense of
the word
toffoo: i have a feeling
the asic race is something
they'll be reading about in business school
textbooks some day
bgupta: I'm wondering if
their is a dark horse out
there..
that we don't know about now.
Bowjob: we may not need a "june betting
thread for BFL"
bgupta: I still find
that challenging
to believe
they will never ship..
Bowjob: avalon may need
to step
their game up
bgupta: if bfl
truly never ships,
then asicminer is certainly undervalued..
Bowjob: ask
the guy who bet 500 BTC on yes
that BFL would ship by march 1st
Bowjob: since it used
to be 600 units for pre order
Bowjob: they will deploy 100 units for
themselves
bgupta: leaving only bfl for
the masses.. (if
they ever ship)
bgupta: intersting news
that maybe avalon will deploy 3rd batch for
their own mining operation
bgupta: I know what
they are doing is not
trivial, considering
that
they aren't just mining
bgupta: Being someone who did a small scale GPU mining operation 2 years ago. I can say
the power/cooling/space issues aren't something
traditional ops managers can deal with, nor are
traditional datacenters built for
this kind of operation.. I had
to get many additional power circuits pulled in.
mircea_popescu: bgupta i like
the part where
they're hashing. i dislike
the part where i suspect
they're lieing.
toffoo: i hate when
that happens
mircea_popescu: toffoo well, suppose you got a hot chick ready and willing and you kept her waiting february
to april because you couldn't find a place.
bgupta: you guys don't really like
this mining company?
taub: getting a fight or flight feeling from
this movement...
mircea_popescu: that's nonsense news. "sometime in
the indefinite future BIG NUMBERS"
toffoo: good
thing i don't work for you
bgupta: mircea_popescu:
The big news for me is
that
the have or are working on a
third batch,
to bring
total hashing
to 200TH
toffoo: well I previously didn't know
that finding a place for
these super chips was an issue
mircea_popescu: if i had an ops manager who had
the equivalent of asics waiting in boxes for ~2 months i wouldn't just fire him
toffoo: "The rest devices are waiting
to be deployed in
the new place, which is under active construction
to fit in both
the first and
the next batch of devices.
They should be online sooner
than
the next batch, which is also close."
toffoo: I interpret his reply
to mean
that it's been a space or power issue … I quote:
bgupta: I don't
trade btc/usd. I accept
the volitility.
mircea_popescu: toffoo lemme know if he answers anything worth
the mention
then.
taub: this has gone up way
too fast
taub: i do
think we are bound for a big retracement
toffoo: Chaang-Noi mircea_popescu I wrote an email
to friedcat last night asking him
to clarify
the issue of
the "missing" 6
TH ...
bgupta: What's interesting is I don't
think I will ever plan
to con vert btc into fiat again.. (Bearing in mind currently btc is a small but ever growing fraction of my networth)… If I need something I will spend my fiat, and keep my btc. If I ever need something beyond
the abilities
to pay with fiat, I'll pay directly with btc.
taub: it didnt even
take out a swing low
taub: well its not quite at
the
top i'm fishing at
mircea_popescu: (at
the
time nyt joined
trilema had been charging for content for > a year. it's really
the first publisher on
the web
to do it)
mircea_popescu: toffoo no. actually
there's an artcile mocking
the newcomer nyt for
their failure
mircea_popescu: it's a gentle reminder
that if you read somebody's stuff daily perhaps you should pay a centy
toffoo: is
there some javascript way
to get past it like NYT ? ;D
Bowjob: cant wait
to see my coin
tomorrow..
the one molec sent
bgupta: damn
this coinlab changover is lame
bgupta: ah just dropped
to 93.25
Bowjob: i watch
this shit from coinlab
Chaang-Noi: it went from 91 right
to 94
the spread is huge
bgupta: well if you have a large position
the only way
to unload is
to sell into strength..
Chaang-Noi: i dont get it, why wait until we get a new ath
then sell off, iv seen
this more
than once
bgupta: particularly in
the US…
bgupta: no
they have a stupid monopoly
that
they are
trying
to hang onto, and keep printing money
Chaang-Noi: how much do you
think one of
the first bfl assics,
the 60 ghs one would be worth on
the open market assuming
they shipped next week?
mircea_popescu: they're just symptoms of a generalised attempt
to make
the world more like "it should be"
bgupta: ALl
these insane laws
that keep popping up are all big media
trojan horses..
mircea_popescu: bgupta nah, it's
that "well meaning" and "polite" idiots are
tring
to enmesh
their _mistaken_ assumptions into
the very world
they inhabit.
bgupta: THe biggest issue right now, is
that big media is fucking
the world.
Chaang-Noi: man, i
think it shines all over
the place
Chaang-Noi: i
think you mean A point? one of many?
mircea_popescu: the standard must mesh on reality, and
the standard must specifically allow
things
that are illegal.
mircea_popescu: for one, mixing regulation and standard is possibly
the one point where american idiocy shines.
bgupta: I was actually at LibrePlanet
this past weekend.
bgupta: Oh so… you are cursing
the people
the defective by design people are fighting?
bgupta: where is all
the buying coming from?

mircea_popescu: exactly
the sort of
thing bitcoin-geeks implement instead of
testing
the bitcoin client
mircea_popescu: basically, it;s a bulky impractical geeky solution
to a problem
that doesn't really exist.
benkay: no commission,
the spent inputs are invalid for
the escrowed
