he was 6MM/hectare but could probably be had for 3MM/hectare |

billymg: I also considered such a purchase but I have concerns about cattle rustlers. |
16:12 |
billymg |
it's got a good water source (2 of them) and the hill/mountain serves as the back border/wall (no through traffic, dirt road leads up to the property and stops) |
16:13 |
billymg |
thimbronion: you'd have to have someone you trust living there to run it |
16:14 |
thimbronion |
btw I'll be back in early June. |
16:14 |
billymg |
nice, guanacaste too this time? |
16:14 |
thimbronion |
billymg: perhaps! Staying at my apartment is extremely cost effective tho :) |
16:15 |
billymg |
awesome, congrats on that |

thimbronion: oh yeah, been meaning to ask, so you found a good colo provider somewhere here? |

Ever been to Doris in Santa Ana? Amazing steak place. |
16:16 |
billymg |
was thinking of renting space to run a trb node, figured it's not super decentralized if we all just run em out of ascii's rack |
16:16 |
thimbronion |
billymg: I don't know if I can say if they're good or bad yet, but I got my box installed with them really easily. Costs me 130/mo. |
16:16 |
billymg |
thimbronion: yeah, that's my favorite restaurant in san jose now lol |
16:17 |
thimbronion |
billymg: I can walk there from my cheapo apt. |
16:17 |
billymg |
ah, so you're in santa ana? |
16:17 |
thimbronion |
yeah |
16:17 |
billymg |
you'll probably bump into mp one of these days then |
16:17 |
thimbronion |
billymg: I suspect. |
16:18 |
billymg |
thimbronion: for the box, what form factor? |
16:19 |
thimbronion |
1U. The company is crservers.com. Run by some kind of shitcoiner named Edgar. |
16:19 |
billymg |
does he take btc too then? |
16:20 |
thimbronion |
He only accepts btc for payment, afaics. |
16:20 |
billymg |
lol |
16:20 |
thimbronion |
Other than CRC and USD. |
16:20 |
billymg |
but why not shitcoins?? |
16:21 |
thimbronion |
I do not know - probably just not available in his management software. |
16:21 |
billymg |
for dorion and any other steak enjoyers that may see this thread, Doris also has locations in houston and new orleans |
16:23 |

yeah, crc. not sure how much cattle it would support (that's something i need to learn though) |
17:27 |
billymg |
so at the 3MM/hectare price about $140k or so for the whole thing |

dorion: lol yeah, now i see. for some reason i searched google first instead of the logs, need to rid myself of that habit |
17:27 |
dorion |
~3.5 BTC then if you pulled trigger ahorita. |
17:28 |
billymg |
yeah but this guy ain't taking btc |
17:28 |
billymg |
probably doesn't know what it is |
17:28 |
billymg |
doubt he's got a computer other than his phone |
17:28 |
dorion |
I'm sure, but that's your opportunity cost, n'est pas ? |
17:29 |
billymg |
yeah, in 5 years (maybe in 5 months) would feel like the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals |
17:31 |
dorion |
billymg, maybe you get him down to 140k and and find a btc buyer willing to pay a premium for discreet acquisition.. |
17:33 |
dorion |
billymg, did you ever take a shot at sonofawitch usage ? |
17:33 |
billymg |
dorion: it's on my conveyor |

my rough personal roadmap is: 1) style this current logger i just uploaded and publish a patch with the improved html/css organization, 2) get my crawler website live at http://bitdash.io and publish the genesis, 3) take a look at mp-wp again (finally) to address jfw's comment as well as look into thimbronion's spec list |

still WIP but took a pass at styling the logger a bit differently: http://logs.bitdash.io/ |
23:29 |
billymg |
i made having the /log at the end configurable (i prefer it without since it's already in the subdomain), and i fixed a bug (which you'll notice on ascii's) where the server eggogs with any search query less than 3 characters |
23:30 |
billymg |
the first time load for me was a bit sluggish while it loaded up the custom fonts (though they really aren't that big, maybe 400k in total) |
23:30 |
billymg |
that's only a onetime thing, after that the browser caches them |
23:30 |

billymg just realized i forgot the bot output styling |
23:41 |
billymg |
ok, added that. looks like shit on mobile right now. will fix that a bit later |
23:42 |
billymg |
going to bbl but would appreciate design feedback and/or bug reports anyone has in the meantime |
