jurov: i can mirror mpex to the s3 cdn
jurov: continously
[\\\]: Namworld, get ssd, it loads in <1 minutes
[\\\]: -s

[\\\]: you need more ram
[\\\]: and an i7
Namworld: I have hexacore with 8 GB ram... the ressources are hardly being used.
[\\\]: then you're doing something wrong
[\\\]: it shouldn't take that long
Namworld: Armory still takes it's goddamn sweet time to load
[\\\]: have you updated it?
Namworld: It also keeps crashing randomly. And yes, I update it.
Namworld: It just keeps screwing up.
[\\\]: heh
Namworld: months ago, it used to load in 3 minutes
Namworld: now it crashes, doesn't update confirmations while running and take 40 minutes to boot.
Namworld: Reinstalling doesn't help.
[\\\]: bitcoin .8?
Namworld: .8?
Namworld: oh, a new bitcoind is out.
Namworld: I'll upgrade
Namworld: But I've been upgrading bitcoind/armory when new versions come out for quite some time and it never fixed anything.
jurov: this one makes a difference
Namworld: I think it's more of a problem with Armory but eh
Namworld: I'm reloading the blockchain now...
Namworld: Damn, 0.8 is going much faster
Namworld: But .7 wasn't really slow to start with.
mircea_popescu: ahh
mircea_popescu: so mpex.coinbr.com was down earlier and back up now ?
Namworld: no, still not back
pizzaman1337: yeah, 504
Namworld: the DDoS is persistent... It's been what, 2 or 3 days?
nanotube: so, do we now have a complete bot interface to mpex?
Namworld: yes
mircea_popescu: nanotube two.
mircea_popescu: and imsaguy is working on the 3rd
mircea_popescu: the drawbacks of having a dayjob lol. it was his idea to start with
mircea_popescu: Namworld i see it ?

mircea_popescu: Namworld i suppose you could write an irc bot of your own
Bowjob: why dont we stop selling BTC for USD and jus BTC all together
Bowjob: that way gox prices wont go down, and if we pay with BTC the value doesnt go down
Namworld: That would be assuming I could even program such a thing. I don't have the know-how to.
Bowjob: seems like a win win situation if everyone does that
mircea_popescu: Namworld im sure one will crop up soon enough, much like pympex did
Bowjob: if they sell to USD, its lose-lose. btc value goes down and they get fiat
Bowjob: lol
mircea_popescu: Bowjob don't tell me about it, i aint sellin :)
Namworld: Because merchants being paid in BTC needs to sell them to buy the goods from others in USD...
jurov: and i'm researching users posting orders directly into amazon s3 :)
mircea_popescu: http://blockchain.info/ still dead ?
Bowjob: those merchants that need goods should pay other merchants in btc
Bowjob: and so forth
Namworld: a DDoS resistant MPEx interface.
Bowjob: mhm
mircea_popescu: lol well folks... i hate to be the one feeding the conspiracy theories, but
mircea_popescu: while it's marginally possible some random internet bloke has the power to be doing all this, it seems somewhat unlikely.
mircea_popescu: there is a lot of skill and there are a lot of resources involved with such ample ddosing
jborkl_: i already thought of this, and I know who
Namworld: Anyone with a good botnet could do so, but why?
mircea_popescu: just the traffic i've clocked, and i've not clocked all of it, would have cost on the black market a good few thousand $$$

Namworld: Where's the request for money for it to stop?
mircea_popescu: even if im getting half of all ddos bitcoing is getting , that puts the total cost of this adventure in the 10k range
mircea_popescu: not counting the time and effort involved on the admin side
mircea_popescu: Namworld no, not anyone.
mircea_popescu: there's literally not that many people with a botnet good enough
Namworld: Unless it was started by a botnet owner, not purchased off the black market.
mircea_popescu: also there's risks involved (if you run it continuously isps find your zombies)
Namworld: Infected computers don't cost much to operate.
mircea_popescu: ya but ideologically speaking, it'd seem an odd fit to ddos bitcoin
Namworld: Seems it's targeting MPEx only.
Namworld: MPEx has a huge wallet... I would have thought ransom request.
mircea_popescu: some people have thought so/asked, but...
mircea_popescu: nothing so far.

mircea_popescu: but website centric services are going to be painful.

mircea_popescu: if you don't enter the trades you're not a broker, you're a bucket shot.

doctor_pullfingr: what's a bucket shot?
mircea_popescu: now, as long as the third party knows this, ie, you're not presenting yourself as a broker when you're not brokering this is all fine
mircea_popescu: ;;google bucket shop

smickles: also there is the taboo way to trade off mpex
smickles: or actually
pigeons: ripple ious for mpex assets
kakobrekla: :D
smickles: how about this, register, buy X, sell the gpg key
mircea_popescu: well, it's not taboo, it's just kinda stupid
smickles: or rather, sell X and deliver the key
doctor_pullfingr: has anyone tried open transactions ious? I like that ripple idea but they don't have a server
doctor_pullfingr: I think you only get one key
pigeons: doctor_pullfingr: knotwork runs 2 open-transactions servers. ripple does have a server. do you mean cause they didnt open source the server yet?
smickles: i tried OT, but it took so much to install on my system that i kinda burned out on it
doctor_pullfingr: i don't care if they open source the server or whatever, private licensees is fine, I just want my own server.
smickles: afaik, you get as many keys as you buy
smickles: (well, that's a silly way to put it)
doctor_pullfingr: yes, I meant one key for 30 btc.
pigeons: you can have as many keys as you like but the keys arent "active" without 200 xrp owner reserve + 50 xrp + 50 xrp per trust line
kakobrekla: any practical uses for ripple yet?
pigeons: same as before, private payment networks, plus now the integration with bitstamp and ukto's weexchange
doctor_pullfingr: Oh, I thought you meant sell the mpex key. I got the free ripples so I can sign up people already have, but I still want my own server.
doctor_pullfingr: for arbitrage or something
doctor_pullfingr: maybe one of those fancy ripple gateways
mircea_popescu: is bitstamp the russian one ?
kakobrekla: slovenian
mircea_popescu: with the novacocacoin ?
kakobrekla: that is btc-e
kakobrekla: i think
kakobrekla: bitstamp is retarded, the only reason they have so big market share is cause they dont hassle folks with ids n stuff
doctor_pullfingr: thanks mp for the lesson I'll be changing my nick to bucketshop soon
mircea_popescu: a ok
mircea_popescu: lol
doctor_pullfingr: kakobrekla aren't we discussing the practical use of ripple?
kakobrekla: the practical use of ripple invloves bitstamp which involves retardation
Bowjob: http://www.runtogold.com/images/potential-bitcoin-prices.jpg
Bowjob: This got me a boner
Bowjob: lol
Bowjob: lalaland
doctor_pullfingr: I think there is a ripple gateway client in the wild but to make it work with mpex seat you need the to server. I'm floating the idea for comments, I don't know for sure if this will work.
doctor_pullfingr: *ot server
mircea_popescu: you need the what ?
knotwork: There is some kind of ubunto install now for OT, you just tell your system about the repo and use apt-get or somesuch to install it
doctor_pullfingr: mp Open Transactions Server
mircea_popescu: why ?
knotwork: no idea, I dont see how OT helps with mpex really
maximian: can someone pm me an mpex proxy?
doctor_pullfingr: If I want to sell ripple ious where people pay me bullshit fiat and I automatically purchase beloved satoshi dice, then I need something that talks to mpex. I think OT is the closest tool for that,,but some automation is probably lacking.
mircea_popescu: what's wrong with pympex ?
mircea_popescu: maximian :
mircea_popescu: !help
assbot: List of commands:
mircea_popescu: $help post

mpexbot: mircea_popescu: (post <paste key>) -- Supply a pastebin paste key containing a signed and encrypted MPEx command. Respondes with a pastebin URL with MPEx's response.
assbot: !mp <signcrypted dpaste.com url> (desc: returns the response from MPEX order)
maximian: I'm lazy… just wanted to replace a string in pympex
mircea_popescu: a kk
mircea_popescu: didn't know if you knew or not
doctor_pullfingr: nothing at all wrong with pympex. I use it happily. Are you
maximian: does pympex now work with this irc bot?
Namworld: Would be nice, but no.
mircea_popescu: nah, it would have to be encapsulated into a supybot
mircea_popescu: kinda trivial but someone has to sit down and do it
doctor_pullfingr: I;lll give it a shot
mircea_popescu: doctor_pullfingr im just thinking, you want to talk to mpex programatically, pympex is like two pages of python
mircea_popescu: there's also a perl script
mircea_popescu: seem the easiest, just use as a lib
maximian: mircea_popescu: what about setting up 100 AWS t1.micro instances (only $23/year if reserved, or $1.91/month), and install the proxy server and bind on each. Then add all 100 instance IPs as A records to mpex.co.
doctor_pullfingr: I'm kinda worried about security on that approach because Im just some warehouse developer.
mircea_popescu: maximian wanna do it ?
maximian: LOL… I have a life :)
mircea_popescu: doctor_pullfingr i scarcely see how more code can mean more security, in principle.
mircea_popescu: maximian :p
Bowjob: someone in the us got their Avalon now
Bowjob: take that BFL
mircea_popescu: bfl is so dead...
Bowjob: i wonder how likely it is that by the time my avalon 2 ships, bfl still hasn't shipped?
doctor_pullfingr: I'm not at all against that, just voicing a concern. I had the idea that the developer for the OT server thought more about authentication more than I care to think about it
Bowjob: theres 200 BTC say NO on bitbet
Bowjob: damn
mircea_popescu: yeah
Bowjob: was it you?
Bowjob: or bfl themselves lol
mircea_popescu: doctor_pullfingr yeah, i'm mostly talking outloud on the topic too
knotwork: mpex uses gpg authentication though so why you need OT's auth on top of that?
mircea_popescu: Bowjob who knows
mircea_popescu: knotwork i took it he meant he's concerned as to what to do with the data coming out of pympex
Bowjob: i feel bad for mr 500 BTC on yes
knotwork: though I suppose you could plug in GPG libs instead of OTs currencty crypto libs since it meant to be pluggable
doctor_pullfingr: I don't have enough rich friends where I can convince them to spend 30 BTC per account.
mircea_popescu: Bowjob bitbet is doing some brisk trade this month for sure
knotwork: what is the actual use case? own things in mpex on behalf of people you act as broker for?
doctor_pullfingr: pretty much. yes.
mircea_popescu: prolly jurov can help you there
Namworld: I have passthrough
Namworld: passthroughs*
knotwork: so you want to tamper-proof your own records of what you are holding on behalf of who?

mircea_popescu: dude this irc bot thing is so cute...
maximian: That's so fucking cool
mircea_popescu: maximian ikr ?!
maximian: it just needs to be integrated into pympex and we're done
knotwork: its suprising people actually use IRC bot. I made entire exchanges between umpteen coin types before and no one ever used it
mircea_popescu: knotwork when i brought mpex back after it's half day pause yest
mircea_popescu: trades kept dinging i dunno if any under 50 btc
mircea_popescu: like maybe 1k in an hour
knotwork: yeah weird, as it even still needs the gpg that people complain about
knotwork: mine was plain IRC bot, just say hello to it give it password, standard insecure crap like normal people seem to prefer
knotwork: held wallet for you based on your IRC nick, one wallet per type of altcoin
knotwork: is it true at all that using Tor .onion site or i2p site these DDOS attacks would not work?
knotwork: I would've though the DDOS might just kind of clog entire Tor or i2p system
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 3 @ 0.545 = 1.635 BTC [-]
maximian: It looks like you can actually start 100 t1.micro instances in Amazon's Ireland data centre… tempting
maximian: keep it out of the U.S.
pizzaman1337: but Amazon is a US company
maximian: true
maximian: I wonder how that plays out legally
doctor_pullfingr: so, sounds like old school irc server and irc bot/supybot/pympex is all I need
doctor_pullfingr: to hook up mpex to ripple
mircea_popescu: knotwork the tor proposition is a little more complicated
mircea_popescu: there are chokepoints
mircea_popescu: maximian so go for it, you'll have a second life
mircea_popescu: doctor_pullfingr i don't see why you'd need an irc server
mircea_popescu: just get a vps, run a supybot on it,
mircea_popescu: to talk to the irc bots, and you're golden
maximian: it'd be $437/month on a spot-price basis
mircea_popescu: alternatively, wait till main mpex.co comes online
mircea_popescu: maximian if you do it i'll cover your first month.
knotwork: does email still work for communicating with mpex?
mircea_popescu: knotwork what do yo umean still ?
knotwork: its how I originally isgned up I think?
knotwork: tho hmm maybe I did use web for status command
mircea_popescu: a yeah, t osign up. you gotta send me your public key
mircea_popescu: but mx down atm. send me a pastie
knotwork: oh but thats it, email doesnt work for whole panoply of commands?
mircea_popescu: knotwork it never did. i said at some point day before yest that if the worst comes to worst im taking mpex to email
mircea_popescu: as a sort of bottom.
Namworld: Someone would have to be strongly dedicated for that to happen tho

jcpham: i should've ordered
jcpham: they were quick to deliver on fpga
jcpham: nzghang or whatever his name is
mircea_popescu: yeah
mircea_popescu: isn't he the guy whi discovered the chips bfl used in fpga ?
jcpham: probably most likely
jcpham: seems like he reverse engineered it
jcpham: or identified it using all knowlege available
dub: he scraped the plastic off
jcpham: http://imgur.com/6Xe1Gw9
jcpham: maybe he watched the history channel
mircea_popescu: lol
midnightmagic: ngzhang is the one who reverse-engineered the identities of the fpga in bfl singles.
midnightmagic: ngzhang reconnected a trace that had been destroyed which prevented the chip from identifying itself normally.
midnightmagic: he is also the most ethical businessperson, next to magicaltux, I have ever seen operating in the ethics-challenged bitcoinland.
midnightmagic: present company excepted from such a comparison of course.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla http://goldprice.org/axstone/uploaded_images/gold_pull-723168.jpg
assbot: [BTCTC] [GSDPT] 1 @ 0.00575 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: have you seen that before ?
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic what's some highlights of magicaltux ethicalness ?
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Paying out-of-pocket for all hacks/malfunctions, giving out free yubikeys to help secure accounts, sponsoring events, fighting legal battles to help keep bitcoin legal, maintaining privacy of accounts (excepting the coinlab thing,) participating in infrastructure rollout, keeping permanent historical account trade records..
mircea_popescu: i do recall the absorbing of the failed polish exchange
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: he also strongly fights against illegal activities and thefts that use his systems for laundry activities.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, no. trades were rolled back during their hack
midnightmagic: he lost 2000 btc from that, and paid out-of-pocket.
midnightmagic: so.. yes.
mircea_popescu: keyword being all.
mircea_popescu: they were out about 180mn dollars on that trade
Ukto: "avalon is wiping the floor with bfl" and "asicminer is wiping the floor with avalon"
midnightmagic: I'm failing to see how doing an exchange rollback as a result of unauthorized account activity is itself unethical.
mircea_popescu: Ukto how much do they have online yet ?
midnightmagic: ;-)
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic i didn't say it's ethical.
Ukto: over 9000
mircea_popescu: paying out of pocked for all hacks/malfunctions means they honor every single order at 1 cent a bitcoin that was ever made.
Ukto: well, over 10th
mircea_popescu: Ukto so like 150 nominal avalons ?
midnightmagic: not in the context of ethical outline
mircea_popescu: okay.
Ukto: more I am sure
mircea_popescu: Ukto they were 60gh each, by spec iirc
Ukto: therebouts
Ukto: except AMs turnup time is far faster
Ukto: I can only say so much
Ukto: :)
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic the sticky issues in my mind is whether the hacked account at that time was mtgox selftrading on customer credit, and whether the email leak at that time is something they failed to prevent
Ukto: kinda sad since i bought avalons and rooting for them
Ukto: but i know the reality of things hehe
mircea_popescu: well, so they come out to about even as best i can see.
mircea_popescu: both had product in january-ish
mircea_popescu: bought bring online something like 10-20th by march.
Ukto: wiwthin the next 2~6 days
Ukto: that wont be true
mircea_popescu: okay
Ukto: although if I get my avalons in the next week, i will be stoked :P
Ukto: but I doubt it
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: There is no evidence that is the case, nor is there any evidence from our perspective that MtGox themselves did anything less than they could have to prevent the account leaks. From what we know, it was either two hacks, one of them being a readout from a financial analyst who had privileged access, and the other being completely unknown, or one hack, being the financial analyst.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic it's a fact that customers had been reporting passwords being broken into which tux/gox blamed on customers, for weeks prior.
mircea_popescu: and the guy with the emails db claimed that it was mtgox poor practices (course... he's the thief)
midnightmagic: And we have no evidence that that is not the case. Also, many of those who complained publically disappeared and did not pursue the matter when confronted.
mircea_popescu: this is also true
mircea_popescu: in fact, afaik none did pursue the matter when confronted
midnightmagic: One of them did, but only on the forum, and did not seem at all concerned about losing $50k worth of bc.
midnightmagic: (that I'm aware of)
mircea_popescu: anyways. just taking the opportunity to compare notes.
midnightmagic: Point is, MtGox has been exceedingly ethical, especially when contrasted with real-world banks and other financial institutions.
mircea_popescu: Ukto re avalons, some deliveries have been popping up in the us
midnightmagic: Most of the inconsistencies we can see are just as likely to be MT's lack of perfect knowledge of what's going on, which of course I know of no people who are perfectly aware of their own systems.
midnightmagic: Yeah, Avalons are being delivered in California already
Ukto: yeah, but those are batch 1
Ukto: right?
midnightmagic: Correct.
Ukto: batch 2 shipping eta was mar 5 ~ april 5
midnightmagic: Batch #2, as far as I'm aware, hasn't even fully been order-filled.
Bowjob: Oh man.. BFL victims caught a bad case of Stockholm Syndrome
mircea_popescu: Ukto batch 1 was like 200 units iirc. that's a total 12th or thereabouts.
mircea_popescu: this was supposedly ready on january.
Ukto: bach 1 was 300
mircea_popescu: asicminer, also ready in january, also 12 th, has slowly been bringing units online to about what, 5-7th now
Bowjob: well mp, their deadline was actually feb 28
Ukto: http://launch.avalon-asics.com/
Ukto: yes, as I said
Bowjob: the jan 20 was a "bonus"
Ukto: I know alot about AM that I cant discuss. :)
Ukto: just be ready to be surprised.
Bowjob: that never materialized
Ukto: technically all of batch 1 was supposed to be shipped by march 1st
mircea_popescu: Bowjob ya well, keeping accurate accounting of all the weird communication people pour into the market out of noobishness and whatever other reasons is difficult.
Bowjob: yeah, they were 10 days late
midnightmagic: No, not all of it. Only a few dozen units.
mircea_popescu: let's just go with a very barebone summary i say
midnightmagic: And in China, a few users did in fact receive their units.
Bowjob: yifu said feb 28.. then he moved it to possible jan 20 deliver
Bowjob: he did deliver 2 on jan, but got shut down by the chinese
Bowjob: then resumed on march up to march 10,
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's very fortunate and convenient that 1. asics are delivered by two companies with roughly equal output
midnightmagic: Some users did get their units outside of jgarzik and the btc foundation.
mircea_popescu: and 2. that these are producing each less than about half the network
Bowjob: yeah there was this chinese dude that didnt tell the forums
mircea_popescu: safest scenario possible, it really surprised me.
Bowjob: until he got problems
mircea_popescu: Bowjob there were some who did report privately. i knew of a few.
Bowjob: mhm
mircea_popescu: people are in the end allowed to keep their privacy.
Bowjob: so avalon did deliver, they are late for the rest though, since their deadline was by march 1st
Bowjob: theres this one dude at the forums offering $10000 for an avalon
Bowjob: hes lowballing
Bowjob: if bfl fails to deliver, batch 2 avalon will ship
BitHub: primeasic?
Bowjob: no, its just some random dude at the forums
mircea_popescu: 10k is lowballing ?!
Bowjob: offering to buy an avalon for $10000
mircea_popescu: they retailed for like 1300 neh ?
mircea_popescu: ;;calc 10/13
gribble: 0.769230769231
Bowjob: lemme find the thread
mircea_popescu: this is a little more than what asicminer increased. so... he's about in the market atm.
Bowjob: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140519.0
Bowjob: is he?
Bowjob: lol
mircea_popescu: i wou;dn't pay 10k for one.
Chaang-Noi: i would odds are pay $10k for a working alalon that was right here right now.
Chaang-Noi: could make it back in 15 days
Chaang-Noi: at current rates, and bfl wont get there in that time...
Bowjob: when will bfl realistically ship?..
mircea_popescu: i would pay 1300 dollars within 60 days for a delivered and guaranteed asic.
Chaang-Noi: 1.5 months is soonest i think
mircea_popescu: that's about it.
mircea_popescu: computer equipment is computer equpiment.
mircea_popescu: what i do with it is nobody's business, what the heck is this.
Bowjob: i mean, 200 BTC.. thats says no on bitbet
Bowjob: wtf is that
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't pay 10k for a computer just because i can make 10k on a computer in 15 days
BitHub: i'm intrested in that film stuff you were saying the other day mircea
BitHub: where you doing a commercial for mpex?
mircea_popescu: me ? no /
mircea_popescu: what film you mean ?
Chaang-Noi: not paying something for $10k when you could odds are get $50k from it in 3 months?
BitHub: you were going to film a renactment or osmething
BitHub: but canceled
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi nope. i pay by costs not by what seller judges "i might make"
Chaang-Noi: im all about 500%
mircea_popescu: that's none of his busioness.
Chaang-Noi: well, it was a buyer giving an offer
BitHub: do you like films?
Bowjob: mhm, i find it good news that the asics that were shipped took a week only
mircea_popescu: BitHub o, the gumpys. i never cancelled, the other party vanished.
Bowjob: considering its from china
Chaang-Noi: i doubt anyone would really sell one for only 10k
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is so bubbly i swear.
Chaang-Noi: yeah
Bowjob: cant wait to get my hands on it. it even comes with gloves
Bowjob: lol
Chaang-Noi: i bet asicminer shares are going to bubble soon
Chaang-Noi: !ticker
assbot: I thought I told you not to touch me.
Chaang-Noi: lol

Bowjob: thats considering you convert it to fiat
BitHub: ASICMINER
Chaang-Noi: mp i would see 1.5 really
Bowjob: which is very difficult for me to do
Bowjob: lol
BitHub: in all its glory
Chaang-Noi: cou7ld*
Bowjob: I wonder what people were thinking when they bought Avalon 1
Chaang-Noi: i almost bought one
Bowjob: josh said theyd deliver faster, and bfl were superior tech wise
Bowjob: .. then whats the point of avalon then
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi possibly.
Bowjob: heck, yifu said avalon wont deliver first
Bowjob: .. did someone see through josh's lie?
mircea_popescu: Bowjob i think midnightmagic bought some, you can ask him
Bowjob: yeah midnight, if you're from batch 1
Bowjob: $44.50
Bowjob: lol
midnightmagic: Bowjob: What was I thinking for batch #1?
Bowjob: Yeah.. coz, back then BFL said they would deliver sooner
Bowjob: and they had better specs
Bowjob: so.. why would anyone buy from Avalon?
Bowjob: and yifu announced after bfl announced
midnightmagic: Diversity of hardware in the event of asic doomsday, ethics of ngzhang, BFL's past history of late delivery, and I've been mining since Dec '10.
midnightmagic: Heck, I was about to order one from cablepair before he went insane.
Bowjob: damn
Bowjob: mhm.. the whole thing was a minefild
Bowjob: field
Bowjob: 2 scames 1 legit
midnightmagic: I'm fairly sure that electricity won't be the lower bound of price for some time. The first time was market reaction to the bubble crash, and lots of doofuses predicting the death of bitcoin.
midnightmagic: and yet it.. never.. quite.. dipped below electricity costs.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic i'd guess electricity will never be the bound. fixed costs amortisation will always be larger from now on
mircea_popescu: take a while for a 60gh asic to cost 1.x k usd in electricity.
Bowjob: heck, if this becomes profitable for me I'll rent a warehouse
mircea_popescu: by then probably better units need to be bought. and so...
midnightmagic: well growth is fairly significant right now
Bowjob: and avalon users will get credit for a trade in, yeah?
mircea_popescu: the thing is before a large portion of mining cost was hidden (as "free" expertise)
midnightmagic: Bowjob: The amusing part is, people who do that simply can't compete with the long tail of people doing for "free" in their hobby time and getting the cheap tier of residential electrical costs. :)
mircea_popescu: since now all that is being paid for, people get a much better idea of their actual costs.
midnightmagic: Bowjob: Avalon customers are getting credit for Icarus trade-in and .. the other one. Lancelot.
Bowjob: yeah
Bowjob: in the future
Bowjob: Trade in Avalon 1 for something else
midnightmagic: Bowjob: There is no indication that will happen.
midnightmagic: FPGA have a use outside of bitcoin.
midnightmagic: Avalon 1? Not so much.
Bowjob: oh well.. decades from now, it will be a collector's item
Bowjob: heh
midnightmagic: "This thing made a whole bunch of money and then suddenly became completely useless!"
Bowjob: "It produced 7 BTC in its heyday"
Bowjob: Damn
Bowjob: 7 BTC/Day
Bowjob: lol
midnightmagic: "What is it?" "Don't know, every time we plug it in it keeps trying to connect to a weird IP address and port.."
midnightmagic: I'll tell you one thing. I am *SO* looking forward to the near-future day when I can shut all my g-d miners right the hell off.
Bowjob: are you moving to LTC?
Bowjob: wait nvm
midnightmagic: I mean my GPU and FPGA. I've been itching to do some FPGA development for some time now.
midnightmagic: I don't even bother RMA'ing my GPU anymore. Total waste of time.
mircea_popescu: heh
mircea_popescu: the first gpu miner...
mircea_popescu: o boy. what a bomb
midnightmagic: ArtForz was pretty badass..
Bowjob: Is it viable to live off of BTC
Bowjob: just by mining?
Bowjob: It seems a crazy idea to me.. that might just work
Bowjob: >_>

midnightmagic: He reported having 60,000 bitcoind not in his never-spend, but in his "don't sell right now" 20% holdback from mining profits.
midnightmagic: He mined, and sold 80%, and kept 20%.
midnightmagic: ;;calc 60000*45
gribble: 2700000
midnightmagic: That was before he mined for another bunch of months and then started selling his designs to unknown third parties.
midnightmagic: mrb_ came in one time and started talking about something he'd heard existed: a preimage-like attack on the hashing algo which allowed a 2x speedup algorithmically, to any miner implementing it.
midnightmagic: it would be pretty awesome if that were real.
mircea_popescu: how would it be awesome
midnightmagic: it would be awesome because FPGA would kill asic then.
mircea_popescu: fpga needs a lot more than 2x to stay competitive.
midnightmagic: nah it doesn't. ;-)

BitHub: .9 hey
mircea_popescu: still low volume.
BitHub: i might cash out
BitHub: at 1
Chaang-Noi: i expect this weeks or next weeks dividend to be awesome, and thus make more demand
BitHub: whens teh next one due?
zefir: Goat, people seem to expect ASICMINER to continue paying 2 cents dividends per week for a year, which is a bit of too much confidence imho
Chaang-Noi: zefir i think they can hold on average 10% of the network for 2 years
zefir: if they could, 0.9 is fair. still speculative
Chaang-Noi: and honestly bfl is 1.5 months away at best i think, if we get to 12 th and then 60 th, we will be killing it:)
BitHub: crazy to pay those prices for asicminer
mircea_popescu: zefir well, finance is speculative.
mircea_popescu: bfl is never delivering anything.
zefir: not right, my BFLS are the most stable mining devices i had so far
Chaang-Noi: if bfl did fail on the chips it would be awesome for asicminer, we would have 50% not 10% of the network
mircea_popescu: zefir http://bitbet.us/bet/265/bfl-will-deliver-asic-devices-before-april-1st/
mircea_popescu: just going by that
BitHub: is there going to be a new primeasic thing?
BitHub: i need to buy one hey
zefir: expect there to be more competitors than BFL in July
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi about one third asicminer, one third avalon, one third old network + others
mircea_popescu: is the best reasonable expectation.
mircea_popescu: zefir for sure.
mircea_popescu: the actual asic producer has not yet been born i would guess.
BitHub: i'm ready to buy now
BitHub: can i buy anything?
Chaang-Noi: even if bfl does ship, first batch is only 25 th right? avalon is less?
mircea_popescu: avalon has about 10-20th being delivered atm and making another what, 20-50
zefir: 0.9 is tempting for a quick buck i must say. but if bitcoin as a whole takes of (like is currently doing) long term, holding some asicminer could be your retirement ;)
mircea_popescu: asicminer has a 10ish being delivered and making another 20-50
mircea_popescu: they're really very equal.
assbot: [BTCTC] [ASICMINER-PT] 21 @ 0.9 = 18.9 BTC [+]

mircea_popescu: lol what a strategy

assbot: [BTCTC] [ASICMINER-PT] 25 @ 1 = 25 BTC [+]
zefir: this is insane!
Chaang-Noi: zefir saldy im still short
BitHub: wow
zefir: i have the remaining shares for you. 1BTC each ;)
BitHub: anyone want to buy 50 for 2btc?
Chaang-Noi: zefir that was my shares that just got sold at 1 btc

Chaang-Noi: i think we could go higher, but i can part with 25 :)

Bowjob: $15,000.. thats what I earned 2 years ago as a cashier
Bowjob: in 6 months btw
Bowjob: lol
Bowjob: k, 7 actually
Chaang-Noi: pay is lower here
zefir: ok, so like 10k coins and i'm done. that is 1.5BTC per ASICMINER and you see me there ;)
Chaang-Noi: average wage here is $200 a month
BitHub: nice zefir
Bowjob: so around 4 bitcoins then
BitHub: i might do the same and go to phils
Bowjob: 200 bucks a month
mircea_popescu: i've done it already. retirement is boring as shit.
Bowjob: thats what i spend on a nice meal in vancouver
Chaang-Noi: costs are lower here
BitHub: whatever mircea lul
Bowjob: woudlnt it be grand if i make money here
mircea_popescu: srsly.
zefir: this is too easy, there must be some hook in there
Chaang-Noi: my 3 bed room house with garden and all that is only $160 a month rent
Bowjob: then spend it in some 3rd world country
Bowjob: lol
BitHub: ya
Bowjob: why dont u just buy it
BitHub: that's what i would do if i was bored
BitHub: help others
mircea_popescu: i am.
Chaang-Noi: zefir hook?
BitHub: then you cant get that bored
BitHub: :)
mircea_popescu: well atm im not bored, all with mpex and shit.
mircea_popescu: but a few years ago it was major yawn time.
BitHub: you just dont know how to have fun with your money
toffoo: how did you retire the first time?
zefir: Goat, it can't be that easy. but well, my problem is my wife will not follow to Thailand, so i'm out for now :(
BitHub: you can get about 10 wives in thailand
BitHub: her lost
Chaang-Noi: ahh zefir i got a thai wife, thats the smart way to do it:)
zefir: maybe, but not the one wife you get used to ;)
BitHub: doesn't that get boring?
BitHub: like watching the same movie over and over and over again every day?
zefir: you mean the only one wife?
Chaang-Noi: bithub is right, you can have more than one here, in thai they even have words for ranking them
BitHub: chaaang i'm thinking
BitHub: if i send you some btc
zefir: no, can't complain. it is a give and take - she also has to watch the same tv show
BitHub: can you jsut buy thai women for me and put them all in a house?
mircea_popescu: toffoo what do you mean how ?
BitHub: i want a stable
toffoo: well i imagine you'll retire a second time from mpex someday soon,
BitHub: highly unethical
BitHub: hehe
Chaang-Noi: in thailand you can only rent thai women, however you can buy women from outher countries
mircea_popescu: zefir BitHub i guess there's about 20 years keeping you apart.
toffoo: just curious how you did it the first time .. before bitcoin
zefir: i'm 40
mircea_popescu: toffoo i don't think it'll be too soon.
BitHub: how old are you mate? :)
mircea_popescu: toffoo i sold everythign and went to costa rica, basically.
toffoo: but went back?
BitHub: heh i heard that's the best place to setup a company
toffoo: too boring there?
BitHub: is that why you went to costa?
mircea_popescu: well eventually you have enough of playing poker with aging american expats
BitHub: tax breaks
mircea_popescu: the rum was good, the aguacate nice, the mango fantastic an so on
mircea_popescu: but after a while retirement becomes unbearable.
toffoo: missing the good life back in romania?
BitHub: because you cant cash out a million dollars worth of btc?
mircea_popescu: toffoo hehe, romania of the 90s was... exciting.
BitHub: i don't get it mircea
mircea_popescu: BitHub what's that ?
BitHub: how you can be bored
BitHub: i'm bored but i'm poor
mircea_popescu: cause how bored you are depends on what you're doing not on how rich you are.
mircea_popescu: heck, i know plenty of bored rich people.
BitHub: its all about the numbers baby
BitHub: if you're rich and bored you don't deserve to have money
mircea_popescu: what'd you do ?
mircea_popescu: there's only so much flan a person can eat, to quote one of the recent billionaires.
BitHub: stayed poor
BitHub: haha
BitHub: flange
BitHub: hmm what would i do
BitHub: well first step i would look at all the people in my life, family and really close friends and solve all their money problems
BitHub: that's fun
mircea_popescu: that's stupid.
mircea_popescu: within a coupla years they'll have worse money problems.
BitHub: but i solved them
mircea_popescu: there's a reason they have them now, and that reason ain't the aliens.
BitHub: nah they wont they
mircea_popescu: you can't solve people's problems for them.
BitHub: 'll be sweet
BitHub: that's true, good thing i've got no friends so i would just help my family
mircea_popescu: mkay, so that's murky. what else ?
BitHub: i'm pretty sure i would be dead within a month, i would just go to psycho with the money
BitHub: driving pass people throwing wads of cash at them
mircea_popescu: ya well, that's the thing. takes a lot of brains to be rich and bored in the end.
mircea_popescu: most dumbasses that win the lottery end up dead / in jail / poor again
BitHub: i guess its boring when you're not just burning through it without caring
BitHub: that's when its really fun
mircea_popescu: no, that's when it's really obvious how empty/pointless/mindless you really are.
BitHub: not really, sometimes just dont care
BitHub: um what else, probably hire 100 social media trolls and have them in a office and just kick back and watch them troll certain celebs or public figures
BitHub: actually mircea i would just be making movies
BitHub: full time
BitHub: that would be really fun to me
mircea_popescu: that may work yea
mircea_popescu: but it is not retirement.
BitHub: ahh okey hmm retirement lets see, all you can do is just travel the world hey getting into adventures, meeting random girls
BitHub: definitly got to check out alot more countries in my time :)
mircea_popescu: yeah, tghat may be fun
mircea_popescu: but after a while it gets utterly boring.
BitHub: how old are you, if you dont mind me asking?

Bowjob: lending out to someone with btc is similar to gambling imo
Bowjob: just put it thru dice, at least its faster
Bowjob: lol
mircea_popescu: with dice it's provably fair.
Bowjob: I told an acquiantance about BTC when they were 17 dollars, they were on the fence about it. They wanted to buy at 28 dollars, but got scared when the price dropped to $20
Bowjob: now that its $45.. they want to buy again
Bowjob: but never follow through
mircea_popescu: how it works.
Bowjob: I told him hey, I think BTC will go up. I've put a bit of fiat in it to show my conviction
Bowjob: if BTC goes up, they say.. it's a fucking bubble! if BTC goes down.. "It's dying/fad/crash"
Bowjob: hilarious
mircea_popescu: yup
Bowjob: I told him I'll sell him $100 worth for 2 BTC. They wanted 5. They could have gotten 5+ from me back in Jan
mircea_popescu: it recovered nicely after the correction 2 days ago
mircea_popescu: indeed a bear trap
Bowjob: I'm looking forward to the day that that guy still hasn't bought a coin where BTC reaches $1000
Bowjob: I'll be like, yeah I'll sell you $500 worth for 0.5 BTC, just remember it could go down, ect

mircea_popescu: that's pretty much the only condition.
MJR_: It should be complete as well
FabianB_: ok, in case i release my client to the public i'll include it in all releases; in case i don't maintain it anymore i'll make a release with FAQ removed with just a link to then current mpex site
mircea_popescu: FabianB_ if you don't maintain it anymore you're not in breach.
mircea_popescu: the only thing is to not ship client august 11th with faq from june 3rd
MJR_: If you neglect to keep the smoky dragon award
FabianB_: ok, that won't be a problem then
mircea_popescu: you can do all languages available or pick one
mircea_popescu: but be a sport and don't pick "some".
FabianB_: heh, yeah, just thought of the english one
mircea_popescu: works.
FabianB_: dunno if i like to include chinese and persian as long as the clients documentation itself is just english
MJR_: Hmmm I think I am going to enter the WOT today
mircea_popescu: sure, just one language is ok
mircea_popescu: If we get the 60TH/s online (conservative) in late April, and the hashrate of the full network from that time is 200TH/s which linearly increases to 1,000TH/s in late December. (200+1000)/2 = 600. So we will have 10% in average of the full network from late April to late December. That translates to about 88,000 Bitcoins total mined. That is 0.22BTC/share of gross income in eight months.
mircea_popescu: so where's the "you get your money back in 8 months therefore asicminer is worth like .15" talk ?
thestringpuller: lol
MJR_: What do you think it's worth?
