BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: couldja plox add the billing calendar (with the hash-pseudonymised subscriber names from earlier) to the public www ? so folx dun have to ask why they're being billed at time t and for what << We have customer accounts here on the public www
http://pizarroisp.net/pizarro-records/ listed just below the price points. I have been updating it as part of compiling the statements. I don't recall if I pass out
BingoBoingo:
Pizarro invoices sent based off the auction settled price point of 1 BTC = 3247 USD
BingoBoingo: jurov: My disinclination to committing to splitting chunks and putting them all up for auction here comes from those times the local liquidity is more generous than the grizzled veterans bidding here. For the two reasons of prudence with
Pizarro's capital and the cause of continuing to spread Bitcoin's corruption... the local market can't be ignored.
mircea_popescu: that aside, i'm guessing i still supplied a large-ish chunk of
pizarro's dubaloos in 2018. but anyway.
BingoBoingo: mod6: The closest computers have come to the promised "intelligence amplified" I have ever seen is when detailed error reports in this channel and less frequently #
pizarro and #asciilifeform yield detailed feedback.
trinque: why did 10 days elapse without a clue entering the forum? this is the "lets do business in #
pizarro" thing again
BingoBoingo: I am not comfortable being outside of a leisurley walk to the
Pizarro Rack without coverage.
BingoBoingo: ^ Just under 21 hours left to bid in the
Pizarro fiat buying auction
diana_coman: I suppose being "updates" you focused only on what changed in the week covered but A. it makes it very difficult to follow because there's no help to re-load
Pizarro issues (maybe just a list of issues at the end with dates and carried over until issue fully addressed?) and B. if nothing happened on crucial issues, it's best to keep them pinging at least
mircea_popescu: failure or success in outreach, such as
pizarro, is a larger factor than anything to do with the world, in that sense.
mircea_popescu: well, once
pizarro gets a buncha customers toyota might be a good investment.
BingoBoingo: If you have been using
Pizarro shared hosting your IRC bouncer you are invited to stand up an IRC bouncer on my Rockchip as the vacant Rockchip appears to have failed.
billymg: trinque: i made a deposit on sunday in order to cover my
pizarro invoice but it's not showing up in my balance yet. i'm not in a hurry but curious about the status of it
mircea_popescu: "you should have gone with
pizarro" "i did this in 2015, where was
pizarro ?" "mkay."
BingoBoingo: It's a relief to get the
Pizarro conversation going again instead of having it stuck in just my head
mircea_popescu: i meant,
pizarro made more money as a financial vehicle, exploiting fx rates, than as an operator.
mircea_popescu: b) the principal moneymaker for
pizarro has been its booked stock of iron
a111: Logged on 2019-01-14 16:48 asciilifeform: after we get to the bottom of UY1 issue, i'ma make sure that all iron owned by
pizarro has asciilifeform-baked kernel in place.
mircea_popescu: so then as a factual matter, if asciilifeform threw out erry box that rebooted "by itself" for no apparent reason,
pizarro would be missing uy1
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> the one concerning bit is whether indeed
pizarro still owns that box or not. << This very much concerns me
mircea_popescu: the one concerning bit is whether indeed
pizarro still owns that box or not.
BingoBoingo: In other updates
Pizarro www now has selection js in place when viewing individual blog entries
BingoBoingo: Please deliver instructions in #
pizarro as I don't know how much log troubleshooting is going to generate
mircea_popescu: re
http://pizarroisp.net/2019/01/ : leaving aside how annoying it is i can't select, and how it's the case trying to comment timesout : it seems the case
pizarro ~made~ about 2 bitcoin during november, on the strength of its fiat-denominated holdings, taking it from being worth ~14 to being worth ~17 bitcoin ?
a111: Logged on 2019-01-13 23:46 mircea_popescu: so ok, if mod6 is committed to the prev 5btc and asciilifeform meets it, what exactly is
pizarro's financial problem ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if
pizarro can say "talked to 985,553 heathens this month, here's the script, here's the results breakdown, here's the more interesting lulz/notions/ideas" it stands in a WAY the fuck better position than what trinque above perceived may well degenerate into a simple "gimme".

pizarro's financial problem ?
☟︎ trinque: if customers wont take the diminished capacity that's basically all else
pizarro has that has (if very) hypothetical value
mircea_popescu: let them pay
pizarro, nobody said they're gonna be making policy.
mircea_popescu: "my five year plan for
pizarro is that by the time we're done with the first three it'll not be physically possible to do such a thing as 'host a website' anywhere else."\
mircea_popescu: the shaver shaves universally -- it's not one shaver for phf and a diff one shaver for
pizarro.
diana_coman: trinque, for s.mg it's less straightforward and it's not even just a matter of backups only; at any rate, it's at best "starvation mode" so I don't see how it really gets
pizarro out of trouble; so far it's not even clear that *price* is the trouble re converting really; is it?
diana_coman: ugh, why is
pizarro's tech finding out this only now!
BingoBoingo: to work on the
Pizarro marketing problem. Recently there have been some promising contacts from marketing efforts, but I haven't been converting yet.
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> how do you see that working before
pizarro starves? << I worry. The more I think about the marketing and trying to make a plan for marketing I worry. I am in the unhappy position of being out of my depth on the marketing problem, repeating my concerns about my lack of marketing prowess, trying to apply advice as I can while juggling other concerns, and not getting any feedback on incentives that can bring other people in
diana_coman: could
pizarro even get in the green just by reducing the pipe? sharing rack sounds more like killing
pizarro by definition
a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 16:45 asciilifeform:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-05#1884603 << BingoBoingo i'd ~really~ like to hear what is current plan for gettin' heathen custom, so as to finally get the hell out of the red. asciilifeform dun have a massive treasure chest that can run
pizarro 'on battery' 4evah (hopefully not surprising, this)
diana_coman: how do you see that working before
pizarro starves?
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, specifically and a bit of follow-up on trinque's point above:
pizarroisp.net/2019/01/ has this tiny paragraph starting with "action items" - was/is that fleshed out anywhere? << I flesh out
Pizarro's situation here
http://bingology.net/2019/01/11/more-lessons-learned-pizarro-entering-2019/ I am hoping to get feedback from the
Pizarro board (asciilifeform and mod6) and this forum. trinque is the first person to
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, no select script on
pizarro's blog? << I'll get it set up in the next couple days.

BingoBoingo: trinque: Please continue to weigh in. The present lack of weighing in on
Pizarro by the forum is concerning.
BingoBoingo: This may be the case. I am very wary about pursuing that avenue without the board and input from all major
Pizarro customers.
trinque: BingoBoingo: in reading your latest, I'm curious what fallback plans you have in between
pizarro as is today and
pizarro shuttered.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-13 00:03 BingoBoingo: Attn: The
Pizarro has rebooted, this was first noticed by mod6. A quick trip to the datacenter showed both power supplies were had their happy green lights lit, the ambient air was conditioned with cool everywhere outside the hot aisle, and the server's chassis was not particularly warm. attn: asciilifeform

☟︎ BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and without
pizarro, it will be very very cold and dark and we'll be drifting in the unforgiving vacuum of interstellar space. << Today crunching monthly numbers. Followed on the agenda by reviewing 2018/putting forth tentative plan based on those lessons 2018
a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 14:13 mircea_popescu: so : as far as i know, bingoBoingo is working on qntra and on
pizarro. he's doing a very fine job with the former ; i'm nonplussed with recently discovering just how broken the latter's mp-wp offering actually was ; moreover it seems to me from a distance
pizarro's still financially and customer-wise entirely dependent, ie as close to failure as you can possibly get without spelling it out.
mircea_popescu: yet -- it is not my business ; so i'm just going to count it as such, "working on
pizarro" without further inquiry (and with the firm expectation that someone IS doing all that).

pizarro, it's still hosted wherever it was that jurov had it
BingoBoingo: ^ Attn bidders,
Pizarro fiat Auction for January is live.
mircea_popescu: mod6 BingoBoingo was saying something about getting a closer to original thing on
pizarro mod6: BingoBoingo: Can I get a wp-mp @
pizarro when you have some time, feel free to invoice me or whatever is right and proper.
mircea_popescu: and now im in the unenviable position of thinking about nonsense. look here asciilifeform : the man says
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-19#1881968 and what am i to do ? remember that you're one of the principal idiots who decided to run their
pizarro process throgh a encryptospitball, and before that you came up with the brilliancy that was "secret clauses" in
pizarro nearly got ben_vulpes beheaded.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: i expect if attempted it'll immediately run into the same problem
pizarro is encountering, whereas bois will do ANYTHING WHATSOEVER, no matter how patently stupid and laughing impending beheading in the face, just as long as it's NOT "talk to a lot of people".
☟︎ diana_coman: as it's all
pizarro anyway I suppose you can just set up some testing if you want more details on that
BingoBoingo: ^ Only a few hours left to bid in this month's
Pizarro auction
