Diablo-D3: sata/sas ones are supported fine,
they're normal devices
Diablo-D3: Chaang-Noi: we're
talking about pci-e ones
Chaang-Noi: d3 can i buy any of
the new asus ultrabooks and have it run mint14 fine?
Diablo-D3: and
theres still problems with Linux support for some of
them
Bowjob: Oh yeah, i did a
tx
today, it seemed quite fast
BingoBoingo: Ah,
then yeah... Keep on a LevelDB version of maintain
the blockchain on a fast SSD, one in a PCI-e slot for best performance.
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo:he was just mistaken
that
the cpu greatly factors in on
this
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo: goat asked how
to get it
to go faster
BingoBoingo: Depends on
the disk, but I believe Goat aksed about
the best processor... Bowjob I was one of
the winners on
that BitBet...
Diablo-D3: but BDB uses so much disk IO
to just read
the db,
that your CPU isn't
the bottleneck
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo: BDB nor bitcoin 0.7.x is multithreaded where it needs
to be
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo: I
think you didn't listen
to what I said
pigeons: also
the buying JAH shares is wtf
pigeons: ok no offense
to coinabul, but usagi is buying his silver from
there, i would
think
those premiums are not really suited for an investment fan club
Namworld: urgh... S.DICE not doing well enough in my
taste.
BingoBoingo: BDB does
this because it hates
the idea of a future
BingoBoingo: For BDB core most often will mean it latches onto one interger computing unit and will force itself
through
that.
BingoBoingo: BDB
tends
to lock into
the single smallest discrete uniti it can find
to run it, BDB probably wont't use all of
those cores Bulldozer is offering, but I would believe reputable benchmarks
that say otherwise...
Diablo-D3: on strongly integer
tasks,
they're quite fast
Diablo-D3: bulldozers are
two hardware
thread cores
Diablo-D3: I'm
talking core in
the core sense
BingoBoingo: I'm not
talking core in
the marketing sense
BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3
the single integer ALU BDB will
try
to lock into probably won't keep up either...
Diablo-D3: that said, if you're on a single
threaded integer app, Bulldozers will win
Diablo-D3: and leveldb rapes disk IO much less
than bdb
Diablo-D3: 0.8.0 introduced both leveldb and
threaded chain checking
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo: its
that 0.7.x and earlier doesn't use
threads
to check
the chain in parallel
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo: anyhow, what I was saying is, its not
that BDB doesn't do parallel
thats
the issue
Chaang-Noi: with
the ssd and windows 8,
then nuke windows 8
Chaang-Noi: ill get an asus unltra book with an i7 and
the awesome screen
Diablo-D3: and I cant say I hate
the hardware.
Diablo-D3: Chaang-Noi: btw, OSX does support full encryption out of
the box
Diablo-D3: and
the reason I say ext4 over ext3 is ext3 isn't optimized for
TRIM
Diablo-D3: Chaang-Noi: debian and ubuntu both can install ext4
to encrypted lvm at install
time
Diablo-D3: and ZoL doesnt do encryption yet (and you need ubuntu
to boot ZoL as well)
Diablo-D3: Chaang-Noi: you'll need
to use ext4
Diablo-D3: Chaang-Noi:
the filesystem on linux will be
the problem
though
Diablo-D3: you NEED
to use an OS
that does
TRIM
Diablo-D3: Chaang-Noi:
the problem is it can't do automatic
TRIM on its own
Chaang-Noi: so when i load
the OS just do full disk on a ssd and im fine?
Diablo-D3: the whole writing
to death
thing has long since been a pile of bullshit
BingoBoingo: The old 0.7.2+ would probably load fastest on an i7 because BDB doesn't parallelize well, 0.8.X and later on an AMD chip I imagine; an SSD makes a bigger bifference
than any processor
though
Diablo-D3: it doens't need
to have a lot of raw
throughput
Diablo-D3: Chaang-Noi:
then you're already going as fast as you can
Chaang-Noi: lets assume i use 0.8.2 or whatever
the newest btc is
Diablo-D3: AMD has superior single
threaded integer performance
Diablo-D3: Chaang-Noi: as for LTC, dunno what
to
tell you,
they should just merge 0.8.0 changes in
BingoBoingo: The best CPU for loading
the block index now depends on what version of bitcoin-qt you are using Chaang-Noi
Diablo-D3: Chaang-Noi: but bitcoin 0.8.0 checks chains in parallel with multiple
threads, and it also uses a lot less disk IO
to do it
Diablo-D3: Chaang-Noi: but you'd be better off with a Bulldozer family CPU (any will do, even
the new ones)
Diablo-D3: well, swithcing
to bitcoin 0.8.0 helps a LOT
there
Chaang-Noi: checking old wallets for ltc/btc
takes forever just
to open
Chaang-Noi: what
type of cpu chip would be best for "laoding block index" on a linux computer and doing so quickly
Chaang-Noi: if you paid for it, and he does not have
them
then yeah, seems about right
pigeons: if we don't get
these
tu.silver books maybe we can get a scammer
tag
pigeons: euro investing in
tu.silver
Chaang-Noi: it just seems so fucked up,
these small nations just dont give a fuck cuz
they are in so far into debt
they are meh anyway
BingoBoingo: Sure mircea_popescu Cyprus banks owe money. Largely on Greek debt among other bad Euro debts. It is just Germany seems
to like playing Euro enforcer now
that everyone else has made
them
throw away
the sharp objects
BingoBoingo: I was just
thinking Germany
tried
to
tell people how
to bank
three
times and
then
they started hiding behind Belgium...
Namworld: So. How about we roll out
that latest version of
the Earth? What’s it called? Ah yeah, Apocalypse.
BingoBoingo: What happened every other
time Germany got bullish on how
to
tell
the rest of Europe how
to do business?
mircea_popescu: of course... in relative
terms... 500 btc
to blow a 50k+ scam
mircea_popescu: ya well... i do like how
the price of exposing scams is going down
pigeons: we have
the books on
the way
BingoBoingo: pigeons I might have noticed,
the question seems
to be how special...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu Do
they sell silver
that small or is
there a swing people aren't showing... Coinabul shows 0.5 BTC for an once of silver... I
think Usagi is awfully bullish or lubed numbers up
to extract
them from a convenient place
Namworld: People will get around
to use it more.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu I
think you flipped it, silver is closer
to $28/oz last I checed
TU.silver had asks at 0.14BTC/Share for an ambiguous definition of share...
mircea_popescu: i
thought from what you said
there's actually liquidity in options mkt
Namworld: no,
there is good puts/calls being placed. But
they’re being bought.
Namworld: When you execute, it’s at strike on
the option.
Namworld: You have
to reserve enough BTC
to fill
the puts/calls when writing
them.
mircea_popescu: so unless someone is willing
to reserve a shitton of btc i can't buy my puts ?
Namworld: It must be deposited and put aside by Bitfunder. I
trust Ukto, not
the put seller
mircea_popescu: when its
time
to pay up, where does
the btc come from ?
BingoBoingo: Aren't
the asks on
TU.SIlver all showing a hefty premium over actual silver+shipping?
Namworld: I love
these new options. I can finally buy for a fraction shares rights
to buy/sell something.
Namworld: I don’t care. I got puts on it. I’d exercise
them with my
TU.SILVER
