[\\\]: patient troll?
pigeons: patent troll!
[\\\]: jurov, you must have missed the part where I sold an idea
pigeons: "Is there an affiliate program?"
mircea_popescu: i totally need proof for that too.
mircea_popescu: this from the "you are tearing down churches with no proof that god doesn't exist".
mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=147613.msg1644753#msg1644753 from the butthurt dept.
mircea_popescu: it's the equiv of a 250 dollar T :D
[\\\]: see, everday is a teaching experience.
[\\\]: I think you should raise fees more.
[\\\]: I look forward to my monthly $.27
mircea_popescu: what's this about ?
[\\\]: mircea_popescu: thank you.
mircea_popescu: explain about this guy's integrity and everything.
benkay: but then i got hiiigh
benkay: i was going to lower the amount in the hot wallet
benkay: but then i got high
benkay: i was going to run bitcoind somewhere other than the box running my web app
benkay: i was going to lock this server down
mircea_popescu: i was gonna go to jail, but then i got high
benkay: also, iono what's in that envelope, but homie's probably about to get hiiiiigh
mircea_popescu: pretty much like that yeah
benkay: or were manuals really written like that?
benkay: is that a trope in russian lit?
mircea_popescu: basically the usagi threads are like old style russian manuals, and usagi is the delegated evil character which makes all the mistakes so the law abiding engineer guy with a soft love interest can set the record straight explicitly for the benefit of the reader
mircea_popescu: yeah, grep the logs if you're curious
dub: who wants to buy some AM!
mircea_popescu: back in april last year when the thing was born
mircea_popescu: dub nah, he was one of the original supporters
dub: all he's doing with AM is a PT, theres still plenty of scope for that to asplode
mircea_popescu: dub asicminer hasn't blown up so far, that's pretty much his only exception afaik.
ThickAsThieves: by supporting them
mircea_popescu: dub funny how that works out huh. that guy just won't learn.
mircea_popescu: i imagine the 1st to go over 1bn will make a larger splash anyway.
mircea_popescu: i hope btc goes over 70 so i can claim the first bitcoin corp over 50mn mkt cap
ThickAsThieves: he might change his tune after today
mircea_popescu: pity he;'s stubbornly sticking to ltc.
ThickAsThieves: he's the asset regulator
Bowjob: so I came in pretty late in the game
mircea_popescu: big difference there.
mircea_popescu: usagi is this white trash that has seen some women so he thinks he's a woman.
Bowjob: I missed the pirate boatshow, bruce wagner, ASIC announcement
mircea_popescu: nefario is this chav that figured he's seen some bankers on tv so he's just as good.
Bowjob: or.. idk, wasn't around for the drama
mircea_popescu: evil jerks trolling usagi
benkay: being of sound mind and body, i'm converting my fiat as fast as i can, and spending the rest
Bowjob: it doesnt make sense to kill btc for fiat.. fiat will rot
benkay: that sounds more like thinking, bowjob ;)
Bowjob: without trading btc for fiat
Bowjob: hey. in the future, i'll just end up spendingBTC
Bowjob: then.. im thinking..
mircea_popescu: it's gotten to the point i can't sleep cause i miss out

smickles: $30 is the new $1
Bowjob: $65 is the new $5
Bowjob: while it is true, I feel the article is outdated
Bowjob: id like to see a US dollar crisis
smickles: mircea_popescu: you missed the one in bloomburg, and the one in businessweek?

unbalanced: Ah I see it now on the re-read
jborkl: Yeah, thanks
smickles: jborkl: I put a 'thank you' line into the windows install instructions, is that ok with you?
unbalanced: Ah I was just looking for more info re: your mention of the ASICMINER above
Namworld: I thought billg was referring to the [16:53] <@assbot> [BTCTC] [ASICMINER-PT] 2 @ 0.858988 = 1.718 BTC [-] thing
jborkl: I am trying Kivy launcher on Android, I will let you know how it goes
smickles: jborkl: I have not. Currently, my goals are to improve the look of the long lists, then get all mpex commands into the gui. That said, i've looked at what it takes to deploy a kivy app on android and it seems entirely doable
jborkl: smickles, have you tried the mpexgui on android yet?
peterl: anybody know why ESECURITYSABTC is trading at 2x it's face value? Is it just because of the rapid change in btc price?
benkay: +1 to that
peterl: From what I read in the AsicMiner thread it sounded like he used a generous line width, which I think means they will be pretty robust?
benkay: silicon design is non trivial
dub: theres only one asic vendor shipping and only just, quality looks average but too soon to know about failure rate
peterl: maybe estimate the price in $ per Mhash?
jborkl: FPGA's didnt burn up and GPUs didnt burn up - the power consumption of a ASIC tells me it will not burn up
deadweasel: no way to know peterl
benkay: i don't play in the space, but i thought they were like 15k
peterl: I mean, if you can keep mining on them for years it would lower the capital costs, but if they burn up in a couple months it is a ll a waste
deadweasel: depends on the company and the size
deadweasel: so it's not a huge jump from there to a an asic
deadweasel: well the new ati is $400
peterl: does anybody know how long an asic is expected to last?
benkay: is this not correct?
benkay: except upfront cost to buy
peterl: the people with the asics get it cheaper, the gpus will be forced to drop out cause they are less efficient
kakobrekla: smickles ill take a look later on
benkay: cheaper to hash? how? with the advent of very expensive asic miners, how are things cheaper?
smickles: kakobrekla: i hadn't seen those charts of yours before. Would it be tough for you to add a 1 month chart?
jborkl: Cheaper and easier, less technical know how. Now the main thing is people choosiing a pool that is not going to rip them off...
kakobrekla: since its getting cheaper to hash
smickles: unbalanced: also check out the charts at http://blockchained.com/
dub: theres a historical correlation between difficulty and price, its probably a hangover from that
unbalanced: Thousands of Europeans fleeing tax grabs are probably more of a factor I guess.
jborkl: I think we are at a unique point reached in January
unbalanced: So more powerful verification mechanisms (ASIC-based miners) improve the utility/value of Bitcoin... right.
peterl: But overall security has diminishing returns, doubling the hash rate does not give double the security
smickles: jborkl: once you have asigned kivy to always open the file, can you launch MPEx just by double clicking MPEx instead of Kivy.bat?
jborkl: Overall security of the network increases value
unbalanced: Is it because other miners need a higher exchange rate to keep mining, and the network needs the other miners?
unbalanced: Namworld: excuse my thickness but how would more hash power (ASICMINER) drive up BTC/USD? It sounds logical but I'm not sure I understand the cause/effect steps
smickles: jborkl: "uniextractor" is that how it's actually spelled?
