fivezerotwo: morning! free ddos for everybody
fivezerotwo: special offer: cinnamon flavor
nubbins`: is it hot cinnamon or regular
cazalla: fivezerotwo, can you stop for 5 minutes so i can publish an article
nubbins`: i hate hot cinnamon
fivezerotwo: cazalla, that is the point of the ddos lol

cazalla: fivezerotwo, see for yourself, https://www.quantcast.com/qntra.net it's doing well
cazalla: it even mirrors the bitcoin chart for the past year
mats_cd03: i wonder how many bots contribute to those stats
fivezerotwo: bots don't run JS
cazalla: i don't think ddos is counted
mats_cd03: o rite.
mike_c: some do. google bot runs JS.
mike_c: but i think it's smart enough not to trigger analytic scripts.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu https://botbot.me/freenode/bitcoin-wizards/2014-09-26/?msg=22344014&page=1 << fascinating smoke&mirrors job. these jokers do their best to make 'remote attestation' sound appealing, and obscure the actual raison d'etre of the tech (boobytrap in your own silicon against you, owner, in any and all cases) by spinning it as 'forbidden by usg'

decimation: mircea_popescu: you make a good point re: plastic forks - generally in the us they are supplied with low quality food
decimation: although they have their uses at picnics, etc
decimation: asciilifeform: re: medium << usg had a point, now encryption is 'available'
decimation: as to whether anyone uses it properly is another point
mircea_popescu: decimation yeah, ok, but look at it. what do you do with the leftovers ? do you throw them out on the spot ?
decimation: sure
decimation: giant mountains of trash aren't my problem :)
mircea_popescu: well see, this is part of what im talking about.
mircea_popescu: suppose you carried actual cutlery. you can carry it back the same way. many problems actually solved.
decimation: yes, and in fact I've done exactly that because it is rare to find properly sharpened knives in the us
cazalla: <asciilifeform> http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-18/ukraine-admits-its-gold-gone <<< today i learned australia has less gold than iraq
assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/1EY0gBh )
decimation: what about germany's 'gold'?
asciilifeform is uncertain how anyone - who didn't personally steal it - can be certain who has 'the gold'
cazalla: http://dpaste.com/0CWMF9X

asciilifeform: 'the key thing is it's something you cant mitigate against' << lol, atomic bomb ?
asciilifeform: one for each.
asciilifeform: (Au is a fascinatingly multi-layered bezzlecake. i.e., does your paper Au correspond to physical Au that you could redeem for? if so, what fraction? and if redeemed, how much tungsten in the bars? and if no tungsten, what will happen to you and your gold after it is known to be sitting in your pocket? etc)
decimation: asciilifeform: I think the pros only accept bars they personally melt
asciilifeform was not there, didn't see it, and puts equally much faith in this claim as in everything else 'pro Au' folks say.
decimation: there are ultrasound devices too http://www.olympus-ims.com/en/applications/ut-testing-gold-bars/
assbot: Ultrasonic Testing of Gold Bars ... ( http://bit.ly/1EY1IDF )
nubbins`: occasionally people sell fake gold on the forums
decimation: asciilifeform: agreed. unfortunately, unlike the blockchain, very few have personally witnessed a real gold stash
asciilifeform: yes, this was discussed here. but whether they are actually used 'in anger', and what - if anything - is done to verify their function, is - afaik - unknown.
asciilifeform: thing is, the time to test Au is -before- paying for it
asciilifeform: which is, in most cases, impractical.
asciilifeform: for anything larger than a coin
decimation: at any rate, the biggest problem with hoarding gold is the fact that you really have no idea how big your enemy's hordes are
asciilifeform: problem for whom.
mircea_popescu: <assbot> German Gold Stays in New York in Rebuff to Euro Doubters - Bloomberg <<< well the problem there is that it;s damned hard to move something that doesn't exist.
mircea_popescu: pretty much the only thing it can do is stay where it "is"
asciilifeform: actually nothing is easier than 'moving' nonexisting object
mircea_popescu: <decimation> asciilifeform: agreed. unfortunately, unlike the blockchain, very few have personally witnessed a real gold stash << actually, romanian central bank holds ~112 tons currently, you can pay ~15 bucks and go on a tour
mircea_popescu: or at least you could, a few years back.
mircea_popescu: (contrary to common belief, a ton of gold isn't that impressive a pile_
asciilifeform: r. nixon went on a tour of knox (afaik the only president since fdr.) he was, iirc, even permitted to... touch! a bar.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> at any rate, the biggest problem with hoarding gold is the fact that you really have no idea how big your enemy's hordes are << actually, yes, the total gold on earth is known within reasonable precision. one of the few proper fields of statistics.
kakobrekla: at least as accurate as 'time till we run out of oil'
asciilifeform: 1000kg of Au would fit in a large suitcase.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla no, because oil is locally made. gold was not made on earth, nor by the sun.
asciilifeform: with the exception of neutron-bombardment product.
asciilifeform: (anyone crunch the 'fermi estimate' on it recently?)
mircea_popescu: right...
asciilifeform: the one thing i would do if permitted to walk in a mega-vault of au is... bring a pocket geiger along (the kind that logs to flash rom, not the kind that 'clicks')
kakobrekla: nor by the sun. < sure about that? :)
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yep.
kakobrekla: so how then?
mircea_popescu: it's kinda funny, the ancients thougt the sun and gold are cosubstantial.
mircea_popescu: but in fact stuff past nickel/iron requires a supernva.
mircea_popescu: stuff above lead require a really huge one.
kakobrekla: sun is a star no?
kakobrekla: aha
mircea_popescu: the sun is pretty much the smalest star that'd run.
mircea_popescu: tihnk lawnmower engine.
kakobrekla: nah not that small
kakobrekla: but on the small part of scale yea
mircea_popescu: iirc the smallest star limit is 0.x sun sizes.
undata: meanwhile there are *colossally* bigger ones
mircea_popescu: otherwise you just get a jupiter, aka gas giant. not a star, but a planet.
kakobrekla: red dwarfs would be smaller afaik
mircea_popescu: red dwarves are end products
kakobrekla: of supernova? :)
JorgePasada: I saw this anamation of the lagrange points of Jupiter and how they drag asteroids around the sun with them. Pretty badass.
JorgePasada: don't think about that stuff too often, but that's what kept us alive all these years
kakobrekla: red dwarfs is as much as a star as sun is
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla not necessarily. here's the catch : they evolve slowly, and our models would require them to have no metals
mircea_popescu: maybe some trace li. yet all obseved ones have metals in them. so, must be end products of something else.
mircea_popescu: unspecified what exactly.
kakobrekla: anyway still the measurements are moot
kakobrekla: a reasonably sized undiscovered gold meteorite would change this significantly ?
mircea_popescu: a pure gold meteorite is about as likely as a prostitute with a heart of gold
kakobrekla: so ?
mircea_popescu: not metaphorically. actual metallic gold.
undata: I was too slow to bash :(
kakobrekla: unlikley is also a block at 100 bn diff
mircea_popescu: not so. one's improbable, the other's unlikely.
kakobrekla: whatever
kakobrekla: find the meteorite
decimation: the best place to find them is an ancient ice sheet
mircea_popescu: ^
mircea_popescu: anyway, meteorites are mostly iron-nickel, much like the eart hand everying else in the solid range
mircea_popescu: this for the obvious reason.
kakobrekla: forget reality will ya
mircea_popescu: lol ok
mircea_popescu: the lulz of all time, of course, is if someone finds a ten or fifty cubic kilometer solid gold meteorite in the ice sheet, however deep
mircea_popescu: and so they dig it out
mircea_popescu: and it turns out it's a ... tungsten rock, with a few milimeters of gold on top
JorgePasada: mircea_popescu: wolud be funny but physics wouldn't let that happen, at least no mix of physics I can think of

asciilifeform: mats_cd03: what would be the purpose << left as exercise for alert reader
mats_cd03: i am dazed and unalert.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron hadn't been using it
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 he wants to klnow if original gold
mircea_popescu: or recently made

mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: this trend where us folk are charged to leave their ghetto (pioneered by argentina, of all places) is going to only grow.
JorgePasada: Man, when I was in London this summer
JorgePasada: they were not happy with me
JorgePasada: on the way in
JorgePasada: flew one way
nubbins`: costs me at least a couple hundred to leave this island
JorgePasada: no return ticket

asciilifeform: 'what time is your return flight?' 'dunno, umm, allah akbar'
JorgePasada: "What do you mean you don't know?" - 'I mean I'm going to a wedding and it's in 3 days and I have a phone and the internet'
decimation: "Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves wants to extend the qualifying period for out of work benefits for EU migrants from three months. She also wants to ban child benefit and tax credits for families living abroad."
JorgePasada: "How do we know you won't stay here if you don't have a return ticket?" - 'For starters I can work from wherever I want and It's 3 times the cost of living here..."
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada me coming here, "where are you going to stay ?" "no idea" "you know i have to put something in the machine ?" "recomend a good hotel ?" "x" "wut ?" "X!" "write it down wouldja" guy gives me a postit. "ok, so that's where i'll be staying".
decimation: apparently if you camp for 3 months you deserve a pension
nubbins`: happened to me once: "so you flew to london for a day, spent a week in marrakech... then back to london for 12 hours, and now back to canada?" "ah... when you put it that way..."
JorgePasada: "Ok I'll let you in, even though I shouldn't. Don't come here again without a plan."

mircea_popescu: dude, i expect the world out of 100 years of communism.
asciilifeform: 'airstrip one' !
mircea_popescu: you know the sort of blowjobs you'd get in moscow for a pair of jeans, cca 1993 ?
nubbins`: what sort
mircea_popescu: dja know how you'd distinguish the brothel and the campus housing in Krivoy Rog ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` the truely eager sort.
decimation: yeah, they had the kind of communism where there was plenty of cheap shit for the masses, without the upside desperation to motivate self improvement

asciilifeform: he did
asciilifeform: 35 yrs ago
asciilifeform: now - here

asciilifeform forgot how to talk
mircea_popescu: so bookshop owner also had a mechanic shop and the two were next to each other but the later was in argentina ?

decimation: are you saying chumpnets charge 'off-peak' hours?
mircea_popescu: no, but if you only can afford 10 hours a week, what do you do ?
mircea_popescu: pick a coupla days and hope someone cares.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually this is not typically how it works
mircea_popescu is not an expert.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'fine-grained' chumpnet rental is rare, because anyone with half a brain, when allowed to install $turd on a chump's box, can make it semi-permanent
asciilifeform: but infections tend to be regionally-nonuniform.
asciilifeform: hence the hours.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i imagined the way this works is, an actual provider somewhere gets orders from random derps on whatever forum
asciilifeform: not sure about now, but when folks used to mine 'litecoin' via chumpnet, one could go to various pool sites and see hash rate graphs
mircea_popescu: then puts them in his own machine.
decimation: do chumps actually turn off their computers at night?
asciilifeform: look for the sinusoidal ones
asciilifeform: them there's chumpamatic.
decimation: I guess local routers are more trafficed during daylight
asciilifeform: decimation: users of portable machines tend to disconnect with some periodicity

asciilifeform: and yes, basic homo chumpneticus turns his box off when sleeps.
asciilifeform: and office machine also, when leaves.

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: precisely this pattern.
decimation: interesting. one can probably determine a fair bit by examine the phase of the sine
asciilifeform: litecoin hash power can probably still be fourier-transformed into these sinusoids very cleanly

mircea_popescu: yes, except now pushed by the more corrupt of the mining gear manufacturers.

mircea_popescu: a well, sure, plenty of scams. those are of little consequence.
JorgePasada: cazalla: People actually think GAW is anything but a ponzi scheme?
cazalla: eventually someone will come up with the idea of renaming the ponzi to a mining simulator and pitch it as such
mircea_popescu: the fact that chip manufacturers are mostly not selling to individuals anymore, and the fact that mining is moving towards meaningless "cloud" derivatives is some point of concern.
asciilifeform: the vertically-integrated miner i spoke of 1yr ago - is either coming, or is churning already.
JorgePasada: asciilifeform: vertically integrated miner?
cazalla: i imagine knc will mine and then once returns drop, they'll begin selling the cloud services to mine from customers wallets than bitcoin mining itself
asciilifeform: JorgePasada: yes. chip fab, energy/cooling planet, mining house - in one facility.
asciilifeform: *plant
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it finally danwed on me after seeing that comment on the humble proposal to miners
mircea_popescu: that indeed preheating water with the extracted heat would boost efficiency enormously.
asciilifeform: it seemed like an inevitability when turned out that asic is a proposition at all
JorgePasada: I don't think it'll happen, too much concentration of risk. Maybe in like 3 years after the next reward cut
JorgePasada: Maybe then
JorgePasada: But, there would be enormous amonuts of risk in something like that
JorgePasada: that wouldn't be outweighed by the efficiency gains from the vertical integration IMO
asciilifeform: if it does not presently exist, it is solely from lack of sufficiently cooperative physical sovereign.
asciilifeform: as JorgePasada pointed out - 'target-rich environment.'
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada risk in itself is no detraction.
asciilifeform: 'risk' is wrong word. something like a satellite launch is among the highest-risk physical investments - but people do it.
JorgePasada: mircea_popescu: No, but you'd have to find a way to not make it a 100% deep 0% wide business, you'd need wiggle room
asciilifeform: but when launching (peacetime) orbital rocket, one is merely gambling, not fighting a war
asciilifeform: gigantic mining op - target.
JorgePasada: if the only point of the thing is to churn out more mining chips to put in the space of the thing
JorgePasada: it's self limiting
mircea_popescu: maybe.
JorgePasada: and if anything changes in the market, it could crash the whole thing
JorgePasada: I mean, if you can say
JorgePasada: improve heating/cooling, etc
JorgePasada: for stuff they're going to do anyway in the plant
mircea_popescu: "The resultant society, however, was still reasonably stable and probably would have lasted a very long time if it had not been for Rome’s expansionist policies, which led to the establishment of the Empire." << this notion, that it was "expansionism" that broke rome's back, together with the previous "Its power was not based on hereditary status but much more on wealth. Such a change in itself must have seriously un
mircea_popescu: dermined the basis of social stability, by substituting the bonds established by “contract” for those dependent on “status” as a basis for social order." are little more than present nonsense anachronised.
JorgePasada: but then instead of going all out with the mining
JorgePasada: Just have the plant be 20% mining but only the 20% where you're gonna be wasting the energy anyway
JorgePasada: or need heat exchangers
JorgePasada: or whatever
mircea_popescu: it is not true that money and wealth is "wrong" or "corrupts", as the fucking protestants would have you believe. it is not true that appetite or expansion are evil, as the puritans would hae you believe.
JorgePasada: that'd be huge
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada you read the comment in question ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not 'evil' but 'car that runs out of gas' as per your stalin article.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform note that it was trying to administer the lands that ruined them. not conquering them in the first place.
asciilifeform: well yes.
mircea_popescu: well it's a fucking important distinction.
JorgePasada: mircea_popescu: Yeah, I'd agree with that quote and your subsiquent comment for the most part
JorgePasada: It's just that, if we're still talking about the vertically integrated mining thing, I don't see it as a viable play to accumulate wealth
JorgePasada: maybe I mis-used the word 'risk' earlier
mircea_popescu: well, why not ? let me run a quick model for you here.
mircea_popescu: 1MW is used to generate hashing power. this means it turns into 9.999 MJ of heat. This heat is extracted, by compressor using 180kJ, and 6MJ of it are used to preheat some water.
mircea_popescu: this water has another .7MJ added by a nuclear power plant, turns to steam, powers a turbine, putting out 1MW of electricity which restarts the cycle.
mircea_popescu: your costs ? .18 + .3 = ~.5 MJ to keep a 1MW circuit going perpetually.
mircea_popescu: this is roughly speaking 3 to 5x the efficiency your competition gets.
asciilifeform: 10 MW ?
mircea_popescu: (i obviously fucked up my digit breaks, but i think the idea carries anyway ?)
mircea_popescu: 1mw, .999 mj, .18mj, .6mj restated.
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: well yes, anyone who remembers 'carnot cycle' can follow the outline.
mircea_popescu: right ? turning a simple one way consumer into an actual integrated cycle is huge.
asciilifeform: also note the virtually absent transmission losses (implicit in the customery power plant + distant miners scheme)
mircea_popescu: it's not just "an improvement". it's cultural revolution huge, like the automobile.
mircea_popescu: yup, they were noted.
asciilifeform: all that remains is to place it aboard a sub and pump seawater for cold loop.
mircea_popescu: you and subs srsly.
asciilifeform: also handles physical security very well.
mircea_popescu: you know sub seamen are all gay right ?
asciilifeform: well, in usa.
mircea_popescu: everywhere lol.
asciilifeform: even the swedish female ones?
mircea_popescu: who the fuck do you think can put up with constantly rubbing against other dudes ?
mircea_popescu: women can be gay too.
asciilifeform: who the fuck do you think can put up with constantly << conscripts.
mircea_popescu: c onscripts are also gay.
asciilifeform: whether men conscripted to ru sub turn gay, is an interesting question - but minersub needs only minimal crew.
mircea_popescu: lmao how do you figure ?
mircea_popescu: sub whose only job is to defend itself needs x crew
mircea_popescu: sub that does that + mining needs more, not less.
asciilifeform: well, depends on enemy, no?
mircea_popescu: course these days due to automation, crews are kinda obsolete in both aviation and submersion roles.
asciilifeform: in peacetime - yes
asciilifeform: crew is there primarily to operate weapons (this was not entrusted to automata, afaik, anywhere) and to make repairs.
JorgePasada: asciilifeform: We've had peacetime in the last 100 years?
asciilifeform: lol!
mircea_popescu: repairs!
mircea_popescu: what do you think this is, nixon's term ?
asciilifeform: if no plan to make repairs / fire weapons, dispense with the sub and sink glass miner-spheres as described earlier.
asciilifeform: water-cooled RTG for power.
asciilifeform: net connectivity - exercise for alert reader.

asciilifeform waits for BingoBoingo to discover motorcycles
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm vaguely familiar with the concept
asciilifeform: vroom, vroom.
BingoBoingo: I just have trouble beliving in them given the lack of compelling use cases
BingoBoingo: And physics
asciilifeform: 'cheap, angry' low-tech always has use case.
asciilifeform: e.g., someone, somewhere, is loading a bolt into a cranequin as we speak.
BingoBoingo: The concept of the motorcycle also leaves me a bit wary as it can be heisted by a cheap angry compact pickup truck
asciilifeform: cars are 'stolen' (well, officially held for ransom) using an also compact towing crane, where i live
BingoBoingo: Sure they were frequently so in one place i lived.
BingoBoingo: Compact mobile crane "can have problems" too
asciilifeform doesn't see a scenario where 'weight' is a worthwhile pill against vehicle theft
BingoBoingo: Submarines?
BingoBoingo: Also Riot prep is spreading quite a distance from Ferguson http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/dailyrft/2014/11/clayton_businesses_board_up_windows_in_preparation_for_grand_jury_announcement.php

BingoBoingo: So we need BTC to hit the moon already so we can roll our own transoceanic fiber.
kakobrekla: if its going to the moon you need lazers or dunno space elevator
kakobrekla: actually you need both
kakobrekla: (the lasers are for the kitties)
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Prolly can encode BTC transactions in Baudot and send to the moon with lasers
kakobrekla: yeah but need some mighty lazerz and clear sky
kakobrekla: prolly just like the one ascii has or something
BingoBoingo: Not so sure about clear sky, can prolly just use stronger laser
asciilifeform: outdoor laser in usa without approval of the crown -> gasenwagen.
kakobrekla: well yeah if you can burn a hole in the universe you can prolly flash to moon
kakobrekla: i guess it strongly depends on recipient
kakobrekla: if you have phone camera or a kepler on the other end
BingoBoingo: Oh, the recipient is simply the moon.

mircea_popescu: an outbound router i sometimes use got attacked earlier.
mircea_popescu: no idea exactly how this worked, will know more once the cutup shop is done cutting it up. in any case, it had an over-the-net update somehow.

kakobrekla: but yeah, hosts fix would fix dns issue
kakobrekla: but that whitelist is separate from dns
davout: kakobrekla: so you need to be whitelisted only when accessing it directly by IP?
davout: or is this some whitelist-only mirror?
kakobrekla: going by ip works most of the time but apparently not all the time

BingoBoingo: <mike_c> did they unbreak it? << Reading up on the surgery today what the surgeon probably did was open it up to clear out the colugulated blood, sutured the broken boner fascia, and then put the whole thing back together as best they can

danielpbarron: "This one really hurts.. like I got punched in the gut and betrayed by a friend." << lol thief is now his friend, or bitcoin is his friend; guy got his feelings hurt
danielpbarron: the address he included doesn't have any transactions, so i'm guessing he still has just the 0 bitcoin he probably started with
BingoBoingo: davout: Paymium should have an option to dispay BTC amounts in Butts, where a But = 210,000 BTC
davout: sounds like a plan
BingoBoingo: davout: Butts simplify the monetary base since there's only 100 of them
BingoBoingo: davout: And when you implement the optional Butts denomination pls tell Qntra first for exclusive story and great /r/Bitcoin troll
davout: incidentally 1 butt-bit ~= 2.1 bitcoin
davout: i would totally click on qntra's contact link, if only it accepted to load
BingoBoingo: Magic how powers of 10 work. And a bitty bit butt would be 210 satoshis so still better than reddit currency.
BingoBoingo: Could be huge on /r/bitcoin and /r/buttcoin
davout: i think we could make a better headline : "How decentralized micro-tipping helped a man get his broken cock fixed"
BingoBoingo: Now, that could be two stories.
