mjr_: well when put that way, conduit agnostic is very much prefferd
mjr_: but not with the same ease as phishing typically
mjr_: for example, if you want arca market data...you have to get it from somewhere and typically you do that through a circuit
mjr_: kinda...i think it is mostly for reliabilty and just plain access
mjr_: just curious, because most big markets and banks do that...so i don't know how phishing can interfere in those cases, obviously customer on online banking website is vulnerable
mjr_: host in a data center where you can cross connect to other people
mjr_: not have to lay fiber
mjr_: but typically it is a /29 subnet mask...only 2 addresses anyway
mjr_: dedicated circuit...maybe metro ethernet in some cases
mjr_: everything goes through a physical point to point connection
mjr_: we get our market data through instinet and sfti...but it is not really over the internet
mjr_: i mean, the endpoints are fixed, and don't most banks rely on them, in colocations and carrier hotels?
mjr_: also, how would dedicated circuits play into what you were talking about re: phishing
mjr_: specifically because of locking issues...
mjr_: that makes sense then that i didn't understand it...i have to deal with databases a lot and they can be a pain
mjr_: i'm not sure i understood how you were fixing that issue
mjr_: specifically about database locking
mjr_: but i can change that
mjr_: really nice article on reddit mircea_popescu
mjr_: so they may not have ramped up production as much as previously thought
mjr_: why are people doubting delivery? i'm just curious, i thought the first ones already were delived...
mjr_:
http://www.universa.net/ just read the front page...i think i might have better luck with email...though i am pretty sure i'll get filtered out quickly
mjr_: in fact, i wonder if universa capital (his investment fund) would be interested lol
mjr_: and i would be extremely interested to know what Taleb Nassim thinks about btc
mjr_: i'm not finished with it, but i think so far that it is very interesting when looked at through the eyes of a bitcoiner
mjr_: has anyone read antifragile?
mjr_: (assuming you invest in companies you believe in)
mjr_: buy and hold is usually the best strategy
mjr_: 4 days i will be ready to invest
mjr_: wish i had bitcoins now
mjr_: that book touches a lot of interesting points, but i think it's tamest assertion is that a country is only as strong as it's monetary supply
mjr_: i think snowcrash is going to be somewhat of a prophecy at this point lol
mjr_: i would take it seriously, and i would adapt
mjr_: but i don't think that means it won't succeed
mjr_: i think banks will not like it very much, nor would governments if taken to its logical conclusion...
mjr_: i thought the argument was "will it succeed", the results of it are different for each person
mjr_: oh, bitcoin will be very bad for some people
mjr_: they must not have ever heard of bernie madoff
mjr_: yeah, they conflate "people like to scam people" with "bitcoin is an instrument of scamming"
mjr_: what is the command here to look at sdice bid/ask?
mjr_: it is very insular, and they probably won't look at any data that disagrees with their preconceived notion
mjr_: and that is something they would care about
mjr_: so their theory will look stupid (moreso than now)
mjr_: the real world bears out theories or doesn't
mjr_: which they do care about
mjr_: but even in matters of debate
mjr_: that's the sad part is that they know more about it than a lot of users
mjr_: without being extremely mad at themselves for understanding bitcoins, but then choosing to reject
mjr_: i don't see how they could talk about it at all
mjr_: but i don't think they would be able to be as smug at 40....
mjr_: and they objectively didn't
mjr_: well, its overly simplified, but yes, if btc hits a thousand or even 40 we objectively chose correctly
mjr_: huh? not at war...but when two people disagree, they bet on the outcome, the winner wins...in pure rational economics...which this isn't
mjr_: rationality says i bet with my money and they bet with theirs...the outcome will be objective
mjr_: and i don't really care about sa...
mjr_: how would the cray titan do at hashing?
mjr_: but it is nice to see how this compares to boinc or seti@home etc
mjr_: terahashes is what matter
mjr_: this is the biggest distributed computing project in human history i imagine
mjr_: this is like the matrix...i can only imagine (if the asics turn out to be widespread) just how many petaflops we will reach
mjr_: so great to see such a success story...and i think the future looks even brighter
mjr_: Very very nice evoorhees
mjr_: maybe we might see burbclaves in my lifetime lol
mjr_: do bitcoins remind anyone else of kongbucks?
mjr_: i already included mpex registration in the prospectus lol :)
mjr_: its pretty cool that ycombinator chose them
mjr_: so i think it might work
mjr_: yeah i know, but i am only trying to raise like 100k
mjr_: and all they are doing is just online wallet....
mjr_: dude coinbase got a 600k seed round
mjr_: they weren't enough
mjr_: where can you buy moneypak?
mjr_: i will look into that, i have no clue what that is
mjr_: i am not trying to trade, just trying to buy bitcoins
mjr_: no, i don't plan on having money in there overnight is what i was saying
mjr_: how long does it take for satoshidice to win or lose?
mjr_: and they seem to be trying to pay people back
