10:44 ThickAsThieves yay NFLX pump failed
10:44 mircea_popescu no plural. THE virtual currency. no past tense. IS challenging sovereignity of states. not some either, all of them. and has been, for a fucking while.
10:44 mircea_popescu now what.
10:45 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves were you short ?
10:45 ThickAsThieves am
10:45 ThickAsThieves yeah
10:45 mircea_popescu o not covering huh ?
10:46 ThickAsThieves nope, still some time before earnings
10:47 mircea_popescu wow look at that, someone's mining 25kb txn for 0.0001 btc in fees.
10:47 mircea_popescu kyuupichan definitely new one.
10:47 davout "wow look at that, someone's mining 25kb txn for 0.0001 btc in fees." <<< such storage DOS
10:48 mircea_popescu srsly.
10:48 mircea_popescu this may become a fucking issue, incidentally. the guy gets paid 6 cents for everyone else to have to permanently store 1mb
10:49 mircea_popescu i think people don't quite correctly evaluate the cost of running a node yet.
10:49 mircea_popescu best sex changer wtf is this
10:49 mike_c ThickAsThieves: it looks like it is working to me
10:49 davout interestingly enough i don't see this discussed anywhere
10:50 pankkake this will make the "low fees" crowd head spin
10:50 mircea_popescu davout who'd know enough about it ? "teh french community" ?
10:50 davout no, i mean to me it's the only thing that to date remains unsolved, yet there isn't really much discussion about it
10:51 mircea_popescu "For what it's worth, the median annual wage in Ohio is $46,093."
10:51 mircea_popescu fluffypony look at that shit. they make 4k a year now. houses are supposedly selling for 8 month's median wage in ohio.
10:51 davout i read a couple things about migrations to a model where only a rolling window of blocks need to be kept which is quite interesting
10:52 fluffypony what did I miss?
10:52 mircea_popescu fluffypony just processing the potato sald link
10:52 mircea_popescu want more mayo ?
10:52 ThickAsThieves mike_c awesome, thx - now to find someone to update the wallet...

10:54 fluffypony someone just gave the best definition of mongodb
10:54 fluffypony [16:33:14] @todor: Mongo is eventually. maybe. consistent
10:54 fluffypony [16:33:20] @todor: with some data loss
10:54 fluffypony [16:33:26] @todor: (but you'll never know)
10:54 fluffypony [16:34:00] @todor: it's a troll database basically
10:54 mircea_popescu he has a point.
10:54 pankkake not the first time I see that definition
10:54 davout "it works really well with php where you're never really sure about what is equal to something else"
10:54 fluffypony I'm calling it a "troll database" from now on
10:55 fluffypony "works really well with floats for financial values"
10:55 mircea_popescu lol wut
10:55 davout i'm calling the =:D= the trollquality operator, coming in php 8
10:55 mircea_popescu what is this meme where manboobs think "floats" somehow are "financial values"
10:55 pankkake I thought we settled on 8==B
10:55 mircea_popescu pankkake that's a different one
10:55 davout pankkake: no that's the peñor size comparator
10:56 mircea_popescu =:D= != 8==D
10:56 davout "=:D= != 8==D" <<< maybe

11:22 mircea_popescu o shit i forgot coinbase didn't i. herp.
11:22 ThickAsThieves nah, the article is mostly about startups and the money they got
11:23 mircea_popescu Coinbase has managed to secure $25m in series B funding led by Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. This brings the total amount raised by the company to $31.9m.
11:23 mircea_popescu The firm, which describes itself as an “international digital wallet that allows you to securely buy, use, and accept bitcoin currency”, is going from strength to strength, with an estimated 600,000 people now using its wallet service, up from 200,000 in August.
11:23 ThickAsThieves do better!
11:24 mircea_popescu coolness.
11:25 mthreat xapo news on techcrunch.. 20m funding
11:25 mircea_popescu yup
11:25 fluffypony and yet they still don't have their card partner sorted?
11:27 ThickAsThieves I'd buy some F.VAURUM probly
11:27 ThickAsThieves the rest, meh
11:27 ThickAsThieves i'd short kraken too
11:27 ThickAsThieves fuckin useless
11:32 mircea_popescu too low rly.
11:35 ThickAsThieves i had someone re-explain our copper conversation, and now i get it
11:35 ThickAsThieves the issue was i was really asking in the interest of gold, so i wasnt quite seeing how thered be lack of speculative demand
11:36 ThickAsThieves but copper is not gold
11:41 davout ThickAsThieves: why would you short kraken?
11:42 penguirker New blog post: http://bitcoinpete.com/2014/07/08/attracting-taleb-and-tlp-with-camgirls/
11:43 ThickAsThieves I think they dont 'get it'
11:44 ThickAsThieves one thing that drives me crazy is how they price in the orderbook
11:44 ThickAsThieves https://www.kraken.com/ look at, say, the NMC pricing
11:44 assbot Kraken | Buy and Sell Bitcoins
11:46 davout bitcoinpete: such amaze
11:47 davout ThickAsThieves: they price it the same way they price USD relative to BTC, how would you do it ?
11:47 ThickAsThieves like every other exchange
11:48 ThickAsThieves how many btc one nmc is worth
11:48 ThickAsThieves .0028BTC
11:48 ThickAsThieves that should be how it's priced on NMC/BTC market
11:48 davout hm, that's the opposite of what all exchanges do when it comes to quote fiat vs btc
11:49 mircea_popescu davout since when is "all other" an argument ?
11:49 davout mircea_popescu: when did i start arguing?
11:49 mircea_popescu well he said they don't get it and you seemed to disagree
11:49 ThickAsThieves he seems concerned to me
11:49 ThickAsThieves interested
11:50 mircea_popescu aok nm
11:50 davout mircea_popescu: i'm in the process of collecting facts that comes before building a considered opinion :-)
11:50 ThickAsThieves maybe he knows/likes kraken people/things
11:50 mircea_popescu anyway, i won't add kraken anyway, not because they're smart or anything, but whatever, it seems like it'd be more like publicity for them than anything
11:50 ThickAsThieves the software and branding are decent
11:50 ThickAsThieves name is maybe a lil weird for it

11:52 ThickAsThieves accommodate*

11:52 davout i thought they didn't accept muricans
11:53 ThickAsThieves dunno, i havent used it for usd
11:53 davout ah
11:53 davout you do alts
11:53 ThickAsThieves i deppsited some NMC and BTC and was gonna trade without withdrawing
11:53 ThickAsThieves but then they wont let me USD
11:53 ThickAsThieves and the NMC is all fukt priced
11:53 ThickAsThieves so i never traded

12:11 mircea_popescu bitcoinpete sadly the odds of tlp actually seeing that video are nil, because a) he hasn't approved the comment on his blog still. a bunch of fucktards made > 50 comments since then with their fucktardery. if i were him i wouldn't ever read the comments on that blog, i'd rather read coindesk.
12:12 mircea_popescu and b) i bet you nobody's bothered to send him an email to point it out, he prolly doesn't read his twitter (or his email for that matter)
12:12 mircea_popescu or in otherwords : being dumb and deaf keeps one from interacting with the coolness in this world. and the world can't cure it for him.
12:13 bitcoinpete we can always wait until he does a book signing and have someone show up with a logged-in laptop
12:13 bitcoinpete sorta like suggestion 3 for taleb
12:13 bitcoinpete tlp will publish eventually
12:14 bitcoinpete and his publisher will surely have him do a public appearance or two
12:14 mircea_popescu what am i, an abused sicilian wife ?
12:14 mircea_popescu life selects. he was smart enough, but he couldn't hear. there's no difference between the deaf and the dumb.
12:15 bitcoinpete the video is your one and only olive branch then?
12:15 mircea_popescu im not including tlp in the next set for lack of a means to get in touch.
12:16 bitcoinpete fair enough, taleb is more public
12:16 bitcoinpete "If at first you don't succeed try, try and try again."
12:16 bitcoinpete unless it's a terrible idea
12:16 bitcoinpete which this isn't
12:17 ThickAsThieves well i didnt see the shorter video, but there may also be a communication gap
12:17 mircea_popescu how could it be, girls get paid to have fun
12:17 mircea_popescu whether these derps get something out of it or not is really secondary, and entirely up to them
12:17 ThickAsThieves well if TLP watches the vid, does he get any clue of why he might wanna visit #b-a, or what it is?
12:18 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves he gets a clue an entity exists that is powerful enough and informed enough
12:18 ThickAsThieves or is it just we're wild n crazy guys that hire camwhores, cmon by!
12:19 mircea_popescu like suppose i send cia's shadow ops director a buquet of n roses on the day he forgot to send his wife the n number as he should have.
12:19 mircea_popescu if guy has any sense he dismantles the entire thing that same day. they've failed.
12:20 ThickAsThieves fair enough
12:20 ThickAsThieves i'd have researched
12:20 mircea_popescu not like bitcoin-assets isn't first hit on google.
12:20 mircea_popescu wiki and even a phone number.
12:20 bitcoinpete so if you send taleb the dead sea scrolls to his house with a hand-written card asking him to hit dat webchat
12:20 bitcoinpete then we have something
12:20 mircea_popescu bitcoinpete i'd burn them and send him a youtube of that.
12:21 bitcoinpete not sure the guy watches that much youtube
12:21 ThickAsThieves just send him a large box marked ANTFRAGILE - HANDLE WITHOUT CARE

12:32 mircea_popescu why ?
12:33 bitcoinpete cuz that's how he sees himself
12:33 bitcoinpete "While it may seem foreign now, at the time, the concept of the person as an individual flew in the face of tradition. Questioning this perspective sowed the seeds of a new worldview where tradition and social hierarchy were displaced in favor of individual pursuits."

12:38 bitcoinpete "Nobles explored alternatives to patriarchal ideology not because it was weakening in the seventeenth century but because its hold over them was so very strong. … Seventeenth-century aristocratic culture … placed contradictory demands on its participants, between, for instance, ideals of inheritance and of individual ambition. By the early eighteenth century, the weight of these contradictions had for many nobles become
12:38 bitcoinpete intolerable. The more egalitarian ideologies of the eighteenth century, it may be suggested, offered resolution of contradictions that had become burdensome beyond endurance. From this vantage point, Louis XIV’s rise to power seems less a turning point than does his death."

19:21 mircea_popescu here's a business idea : take failed projects, trim down the text, make kickstarter projects out of them
19:21 mircea_popescu one could start with say urbit
19:21 mircea_popescu just hire indians to select and summarize, could pump out 50-100 science-y or tech-y sounding projects a week
19:21 asciilifeform urbit already found its chumpatronium golden vein
19:22 mircea_popescu asciilifeform done in the manner of the cryptostocks listing of that casino game tho
19:22 mircea_popescu w/o any involvement from the owner.
19:22 mircea_popescu just, google for projects with verbiage, trim it down, "kickstart" it
19:23 mircea_popescu 10-20 hours's worth of unskilled labour per project.
19:23 mircea_popescu no WAY you don't get 1mn in 100.
19:23 mircea_popescu that's 50x your investment.

19:34 asciilifeform a miner's a perfect place to hide some strange. esp. in the extant ones, where performance is 'variable' to put it mildly. but really, it is perfect on account of the fact that a miner board is forgotten very soon after it is sold

20:29 colinistheman a lot of people apparently
20:29 asciilifeform re: bfl - the sad part is that the entire mining industry, afaik, is based on exactly this kind of chumpatron. and if outright take-money-and-run merits two years of parole, what does, e.g. six month deliberate 'we mine with your hardware' merit? harsh words?
20:29 colinistheman Did you join in the woods law firm court case?
20:29 colinistheman Actually I do not believe they are mining with our hardware. I have been following fairly closely on what is going on
20:29 colinistheman It's very bad management and underfunded development
20:29 colinistheman that's the out-ethics behind the scenes which is making everything late
20:29 colinistheman the court case statements back that up
20:30 mircea_popescu colinistheman things change over time

20:30 mircea_popescu bfl has been a foundation backed sore eye for bitcoin since 2012
20:30 colinistheman Perhaps in the past they mined with the hardware though
20:30 colinistheman I would believe it
20:30 colinistheman yes, BFL is the ASIC equivalent of MT GOX
20:30 colinistheman it needs to be eliminated
20:30 asciilifeform 'limited' scam always metastatizes into full blown scam.
20:30 mircea_popescu so practically, get in the wot so i can gift someone a knife.

20:40 mircea_popescu colinistheman how come everything's 5 bitcents ?!
20:41 colinistheman I just have it round to the nearest 2 decimal places for sake of neatness
20:41 mircea_popescu for that matter, bitpay says "If it seems like there should be something here, please let us know by contacting our support team."
20:41 colinistheman otherwise it looks like a huge big number
20:41 kakobrekla because they are all sized for keychains
20:41 mircea_popescu kakobrekla do you like knives ?
20:42 kakobrekla nah not really.
20:42 colinistheman You can sort by price and see items which are more than 5 bit cents. Back to reading the article

20:47 mircea_popescu indiancandy1 im sure she does anything.
20:47 colinistheman By the way, this may interest you, mircea_popescu. I posted the following information on BFL's forum and it got deleted. It was a detailed recording of a series of events in the Monarch production timeline. This post got deleted from their forums but I kept a backup because I knew it would. Then I was banned from the forums after providing a lawyer link to every member on BFL forums.

20:47 indiancandy1 im anti sex toys
20:47 mircea_popescu colinistheman maybe time to make a blog ?
20:48 mircea_popescu or maybe join an existing one. possibly mike_c may want a hard hitting research editor for btcalpha
20:48 colinistheman It's a good idea but I don't have the time. I managed to scrap together these few things.
20:48 colinistheman I think there would be a good market for a promoted domain and blog for BFL fraud info though.
20:48 mircea_popescu use it or lose it.
20:48 kakobrekla who are you trying to save?
20:48 colinistheman jesus
20:49 kakobrekla jesus has been saved already.
20:49 colinistheman oh, then bfl customers
20:49 mike_c if you do want a blog platform I'd be happy to post things for you on btcalpha with appropriate attribution.
20:49 kakobrekla right.
20:49 BingoBoingo No, Jesus died to save, but if you save Jesus... it would really mess with the Xtians
20:49 kakobrekla you can rape them with evidence, they dont budge.
20:49 mircea_popescu kakobrekla fudster.
20:50 kakobrekla i meant saved as in ctrl-s
20:50 colinistheman True, but it increases awareness like my bitcointalk thread post did. it got over 2000 views in 5 hours
20:50 colinistheman And I bet I got a lot more people to join the class action lawsuit
20:50 asciilifeform kakobrekla: can't help but remember orlov's point about the deer hunt
20:50 colinistheman so I am pleased with that increased awareness and action
20:50 asciilifeform '…we need a word that describes the artifacts generated in response to irrational actors who demand to be fooled. As the old saying goes, “A fool and his money are soon parted” – at the fool’s own insistence, no less! If the deer comes out of the forest and walks up to the hunter, it is not proper hunting, and this is not proper con artistry or grift or embezzlement or any other term we use to describe
20:50 asciilifeform proper works of evil. If the victim, at the sight of the economic predator, goes into doggie submission, we must stop discussing the phenomenon in terms of conflict and consider whether what we are observing might be some strange instance of symbiosis.'
20:51 kakobrekla well, colinistheman , deer cant read.
20:51 cazalla indiancandy1: if you are more attractive than sexysaffron, you'd make more money on mfc if you copied her enthusiasm
20:51 colinistheman deer bought asics?
20:51 BingoBoingo !up colinistheman

21:04 asciilifeform replaced the blade with a wooden one.
21:04 asciilifeform 'no one will notice.'

21:17 BingoBoingo TheNewDeal: Difficulty isn't as lucrative as betting against Serena Williams
21:17 indiancandy1 i prefer greeks though
21:17 mircea_popescu hard to not watch difficulty.
21:18 indiancandy1 serena williams is a champ
21:19 BingoBoingo Serena Williams loses with great predictability
21:19 mircea_popescu that'd have been a sad typo
21:19 TheNewDeal I was freaking out today. Just bet against the top scorer last night, then some mexican dude whips out his phone today at work and was telling me germany had 9 goals
21:19 mircea_popescu TheNewDeal lmao i can see tha
21:20 cazalla lol
21:20 BingoBoingo Anytime the Decimal odds on Serena Williams opponent pays under 10, Serena doesn't win. You can turn 0.1 BTC into 1 BTC that way with decent regularity.
21:20 TheNewDeal not sure if he didn't know the english word for siete
21:20 mircea_popescu "omfg someone got 4 ?"
21:20 mircea_popescu TheNewDeal no they had more but annulled.
21:20 TheNewDeal whaaaaat
21:20 mircea_popescu yup
21:21 mircea_popescu they raped that team
21:21 mircea_popescu i don't even think this happened before, in a wc match
21:21 TheNewDeal ridiculous
21:21 TheNewDeal he showed me a brief clip of a brazilian person in tears
21:21 TheNewDeal it was hilarious
21:21 mircea_popescu if messi fals into an elevator hatch
21:21 mircea_popescu it's gonna be 25-0 for germany
21:22 TheNewDeal ahhaha
21:22 mircea_popescu the problem of mono teams.
21:22 BingoBoingo I hope for an Argentina Germany final where the only players to survive the jerkoff pregame festivities are Messi and Klose
21:23 TheNewDeal if you can make it that far, it doesn't really matter
21:24 cazalla it'll go to a shootout where messi misses and germany wins
21:24 TheNewDeal ill bet you on that

21:32 mircea_popescu embeded windows ?!
21:33 mircea_popescu this guy isn't very smart is he.
21:33 decimation heh well it's actually a fair guess for agilent
21:34 decimation they are famous for making $20k test equipment that runs windows xp
21:35 mircea_popescu the smart comment was re "some processors or something but we don't care about that"
21:35 mircea_popescu what interests him are the fully machined aluminum blocks.
21:35 mircea_popescu i mean...
21:35 decimation heh yeah for him the computer is the uninteresting part, he cares about the rf parts hehe
21:35 decimation yeah
21:35 decimation I think his past experience was as a pcb designer
21:35 decimation so that's what he focuses on, the board construction
21:36 mircea_popescu yeah i see it.
21:37 decimation there are some interesting design choices (some he points out, some he doesn't). as ascii would say, figuring out the details is an excercise for the alert reader
21:38 mircea_popescu yea im watching it
21:38 mircea_popescu why don't they have insulant between the two modules is beyond me.
21:39 decimation 3e8 m/s / 20 GHz = 15 mm wavelength at 20 Ghz - that's why you see all the esoteric shielding

21:45 asciilifeform decimation: shield design, note, is quite like mine. (and everyone else's!) i'd love to have the machined aluminum cavity, though. but cost.
21:45 decimation heh yeah that's what I was thinking.
21:45 mircea_popescu asciilifeform our pricepoint is not 30k
21:45 asciilifeform haha yeah
21:45 mircea_popescu something tells me that if it were, you';d bitch about machined silver
21:46 decimation if you want quality that's what you pay
21:46 decimation you can probably buy a "spectrum analyzer" for $1k new
21:46 asciilifeform decimation: my chicom dirtscope has one built in. but, have to understand limits of the instrument.

21:47 asciilifeform decimation: i bet the thing still uses staggered (out of phase) multiple ADC, though
21:48 indiancandy1 do you cook?
21:48 asciilifeform afaik nobody makes a 20GHz adc.
21:48 decimation oh I doubt it's 20 ghz instantaneous bandwidth
21:48 decimation it probably has a ~100 mhz swept receiver
21:48 mircea_popescu yes i cook.
21:48 asciilifeform and i should add that 18k usd is cheap for a laboratory instrument.
21:48 mircea_popescu asciilifeform this looks like a field instrument.
21:49 asciilifeform a miserable little spectrophotometer (every bio lab on the planet) runs about 50k.
21:49 decimation yeah this is one of those portable deals. You can give agilent at least 2-3x that for a high quality lab grade spectrum analyzer

21:57 indiancandy1 im coming over to ur house
21:57 decimation ascii did you use your laser cutter to make solder masks?
21:57 asciilifeform decimation: nope. pcb made at actual factory.
21:58 decimation like the plastic that you put over the board so you can apply the solder paste?
21:58 asciilifeform decimation: at present time, i apply the paste with a pump. tried plastic templates (laser cut), wasn't satisfied.
21:58 asciilifeform my tube (40 watt) won't cut steel.
21:59 decimation yeah I guess a proper solder template is made of metal
21:59 asciilifeform decimation: not only this - but you need a fairly costly 'printing press' to apply the paste evenly through the gasket.
22:00 decimation on the youtubes people just use a squeegie
22:00 decimation it looks half-ass though
22:01 decimation actually the best solution is probably a wave-soldering machine

22:06 asciilifeform student project idea
22:06 asciilifeform take the agilent scope, and fly it to north korea
22:06 asciilifeform see if it boots up after.

22:11 decimation what's interesting is how modular and easy to take apart this agilent device is
22:12 decimation it would be fairly straightforward to disassemble & repair, unlike macbook air for example
22:12 mircea_popescu <asciilifeform> i see nothing in there that couldn't be milled on an ordinary desktop cnc machine. << this.

22:14 asciilifeform same 'scam' as my 100mhz scope
22:14 asciilifeform take N independent adc, and stagger the sampling phases
22:14 mircea_popescu but they claim to be differen
22:14 mircea_popescu which'd be the scam.
22:14 mircea_popescu what, they use 500 of the things ?!
22:14 asciilifeform lower noise, cleaner stagger.

22:15 mircea_popescu look at some of the examples of ancient gemcutting, you'll be impressed.
22:15 asciilifeform gem cutters cheat
22:15 decimation it's not really an oscilloscope, doesn't need to have 20 ghz of bandwidth
22:15 asciilifeform because crystals cleave on symmetry plane.
22:15 mircea_popescu !up felipelalli
22:15 decimation it makes an image of the spectrum, sampled over a period of time

22:16 mircea_popescu decimation i thought the claim was 20ghz of bw
22:16 mircea_popescu maybe im confused.
22:16 decimation nah, not instantaneous
22:16 asciilifeform 20ghz is easy. 20ghz where you aren't simply picking up harmonics from your own logic - hard.
22:16 mircea_popescu asciilifeform amorpous metal will process similarly, just takes longer
