midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: And in
the hands of actual customers..
Bowjob: then
theres
this hungarian company
that apparently made an asic as well
Bowjob: so its avalon 1,
then bfl 1..
then avalon 2?
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic it's an avalon/asicminer
tie so far, apparently.
midnightmagic: I
threw some orders at
them just for
the appreciation of
their work with Icarus.
midnightmagic: I really never
thought Avalon would beat
them all
to
the punch like
this.
midnightmagic: Bowjob: Last update said something about all b#1 orders will have been shipped by mar 10, and everyone should have
them by mid-
to end of march..
Bowjob: looks like avalon will deliver
their promise by april 1st
midnightmagic: Bowjob: One of
their Chinese customers stripped it apart I
think and
took a picture.
Bowjob: The dude now has 5 of
those babies
Bugpowder: 1mb was
too small for
the
total
transaction! Had
to be split
molecular: Bugpowder, I
thought it'd state
the payouts on
the site... rechecking, maybe I just overlooked
Bugpowder: There was some issues with
transaction size limits, info in a
triilrma post
Bugpowder: Molecular.
That bet paid out already
Namworld: So long as
the amount shown in my stats are good. But odd for
the display.
mircea_popescu: Namworld mpex got confused by
the mistaken notion
that 5mn shares are actually out

Namworld: BBET statement says 5.44167918 BTC
to be distributed as dividends. On 10 million shares,
that's like 54.4 satoshi per share, but MPEx shows 32 satoshi per share. What's with
that?

mircea_popescu: you know
the joke about

the sort.

midnightmagic: dub: All I see is "[18:01:08] <midnightmagic> dub: What a horrible way
to live, in constant fear." I guess all I can say is
that's not a statement born of ignorance.
mircea_popescu: "<BitHub> it did just give me a huge boost of motivation
tho"
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Hey man, in
that log on
that day you're
talking about
that boobpic I've been
trying
to grep for forever.
midnightmagic: dub: *AWESOME* you just found for me
the reference
to
the mpoe-pr boob pic
that I've been searching for forever.
midnightmagic: dub: Do you have any more keywords for me
to search on?
midnightmagic: dub: I'm
trying
to dig up
the log because I'm curious what I was
thinking at
the
time. I've actually grown up in a place (yes,
they exist even in Canada) where one must assume
the stranger is evil.
dub: midnightmagic: indeed, saw an interesting article about
the very young having much greater altrustic
tendancies which increases survival odds in an 'all
the adults are dead' scenario
Chaang-Noi: just wonder if bfl will fail hard, are
they still bumping or whatever?
Chaang-Noi: i want
to know how much asic miner shares are worth
thestringpuller: based on a 500,000 NRE cost on
the chips I assume
there will be at least 600
total on
the first "batch" of chips
Chaang-Noi: anyone happen
to know off
the
top of
their head how many avolons were made in batch one? or
the
total hashing power?
Chaang-Noi: BitHub> money first,
then girls (this does work well)
BitHub: money first,
then girls
mircea_popescu: srsly, girls are easy. you just have
to make
them feel safe
they'll do anything.
BitHub: it did just give me a huge boost of motivation
tho
BitHub: trying
to be realistic
BitHub: i hope
that's me in 5 years haha
BitHub: lul and
these girls are your friends and you just hang out wtih
them?
Eduard_Munteanu: Hmm, you know...
they also said underground resources belong
to
the state... wouldn't surprise me if
they deem Bitcoin mining a national resource as well. :)
BitHub: i
thought you were
talkig about your daughters or something,
till i click on
the pics lul wtf
BitHub: take
the girls up and down
the river? wtf
midnightmagic: dub: It is a cultural perversion of what appears
to be
the most successful strategy for human progress.
dub: anyway, if I don't want
this PM
to actually climb up my ass I need
to deliver some shit so I'm closing
this
term
Eduard_Munteanu: mircea_popescu: out of curiosity, did Silk Road ever approach you?
To get listed, raise money and so forth.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i suspect
there's like five balls in
three ballsacks available in
the entire continental us.
dub: midnightmagic: my memory of it is different, I don't
think we were discussing a specific place, only
the existence of such places
mircea_popescu: if at least he had
the guts
to post something like "Same"
Eduard_Munteanu: I guess mircea_popescu pledges
to be
the benevolent dictator of MPEx forever, after reading a bit
through
the contract.
dub: midnightmagic: its not
the only
time you have appeared
to me
to base your arguments around a world view couched in priviledged western culture
midnightmagic: dub: I was floored by
the fact
that it was so *in
that specific locale*.
Eduard_Munteanu: I wonder if bitcoiners are going
to experiment with different governance rules / contracts
than you usually see in
the real world. Which is usually majority of shares.
dub: midnightmagic: a little while ago
there was a conversation where you appeared
to be floored by
the notion
that in some locations/cultures
the base assumption of a strangers actions being altruistic was false
midnightmagic: Unlike most people, I am not interested (this
time) in simply honing my ability
to refute. If and when you come up with actual cites, I'd be happy
to look
them up. I still have fulltext research credentials at
the local university.
dub: and
typing without looking at my screen
midnightmagic: I'm sorry you
think
that. You should realise
that
the implication is
that I am aserting my mind can be changed.
dub: but im not in a meeting, on
teh phone, and working
to a
thight deadline
dub: i'd like
to continue
this and know it looks like weasling out
midnightmagic: dub: Lots of people
think
that, but it is also possible
to assess
the quality of
the data. So, IMO, no, it's not possible
to find quality data which refutes any opinion.
dub: the problem is you can likely produce data
to refute any opinion as can I
dub: I guess at some point, some people like
to actually form an opinion
midnightmagic: dub: ALl
that's required is
that you reject well-grounded studies
that disagree with your opinion, while selecting out
those studies which agree with it or reinforce it in some fashion.
dub: midnightmagic: and I'f I were a victim of
that would I need
to have read about
this before or after observing it?
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla>
Those funds were invested
through some chinese partners of mine in asic equipment. <<< ahaha epic
midnightmagic: dub: I'll presume you are aware of
the notion of confirmation bias.
mircea_popescu: <dub>
this is a genetic/language
thing
thats been done
to death << it's not genetic, it's cultural.
dub: midnightmagic:
thats easy, it closely mirrors what I have observed
midnightmagic: dub: Also, if you are an experience guy,
then why are you pointing
to external data as
the foundation of your assertions rather
than just your experience?
midnightmagic: dub: Making negative assertions about
the person you are having a discussion with is not usually productive. I'm readjusting my evaluation of your random, seemingly-connected comments post-statement.
dub: yes, well I'm more of an experience guy
than a
take debunkment at face value guy. Dorkins calls it
the belief gene,
though I don't really believe it exists.
dub: midnightmagic: regarding
the chinese, not your culteral naivety
