06:10 ozbot Personal responsibility and inept Bitcoin jesusing
06:10 mircea_popescu dude mpoe-pr brings out the best in people.
06:10 mircea_popescu anyone ever knew the noobs can be that cool ?!
06:14 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Prollu because this time she isn't shitting of their favored scams?
06:14 mircea_popescu now that may be.
06:14 mircea_popescu shittingb on them > shitting on their fav scam of the time.
06:14 mircea_popescu at least themselves, they know that sucks.

06:28 mircea_popescu "Furthermore, notice that a winning bet of .011 returns less than the bet itself (despite its weight), if you even happen to get it. Something is clearly seriously wrong with that guy!! It would be nice if someone were to hack him (and all companies industrializing/profiting off the bitcoin with expensive rigs) and donate the bitcoins to charity (bitcoin100 or etc)."
06:28 mircea_popescu check out the revolutionary minded scum.
06:28 mircea_popescu this is the reason i do not wish to live in a world without opression, and this is why bullshit like "social justice" is outright immoral.
06:29 mircea_popescu some people should be oppressed, and currently are not oppressed nearly enough.
06:30 mircea_popescu punkman obviously, twitter and dns are shady services open to hackers and drug dealing.
06:30 punkman I like that it still takes a few phone calls to steal whatever
06:31 punkman nice domain you got there, shame you are not using it
06:31 punkman I'll just take it
06:31 BingoBoingo punkman: Amazing how GPG could have prevented that disaster.
06:32 jurov or at least 2FA. not the backdoored google kind
06:32 punkman BingoBoingo: well not if they just change your key when you call them
06:32 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo amazing how if you don't offer people any way to change their account they'll be unhappy.
06:32 assbot AMAZING COMPANY!
06:32 mircea_popescu this is the reason why, however.
06:33 BingoBoingo punkman: No one gets to change keys though unless they can sign the change with a still older key of theirs.
06:34 punkman BingoBoingo: of course they do, "hey guys dog ate my key, can I change to this new one?" "ok"
06:35 BingoBoingo punkman: And you revoke it by shear number of keys you exclusively control, or your identity is essentially dead. Not lost. Dead.
06:35 mircea_popescu punkman people totally misunderstanding what customer service is.
06:36 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 23665 @ 0.00088479 = 20.9386 BTC [+] {2}
06:36 punkman mircea_popescu: what customer service?
06:36 punkman they got too many users to give a fuck
06:37 mircea_popescu well yes, customer service : hire a bunch of veggies to go "yes sir, sure sir, can do sir" to anyone walking in
06:37 mircea_popescu regardless of anything
06:37 punkman and they call it "live" support.
06:38 punkman even if all they do is write an internal support ticket on your behalf
06:38 mircea_popescu the test cheating mentality : they aren't trying to deliver, they just try to hack into your measures and make it seem like they do.
06:39 punkman said message being "mr manager, dear customer says problem"
06:39 mircea_popescu like, you imagine that talking to someone is more likely to resolve anything ? fine, they'll train dogs to talk to you.
06:39 mircea_popescu hacking is a much larger part of corporate culture than corporations willingly admit, even to themselves.
06:40 mircea_popescu the same people who indignantly protest to the judge that random guy "hacked into their computers" just spent the entire day trying to hack their customers.
06:40 nubbins` "can we disable the user's back button?"
06:41 mircea_popescu yexactly.
06:42 nubbins` fun fact, i once refused to make a code change on moral grounds
06:42 mircea_popescu the amusing part, of course, being that cheating ACTUALLY IS being clever, but only IN SOME CONDITIONS.
06:42 nubbins` ^
06:42 mircea_popescu by completely abandoning a critical review of those conditions, and instead going with formalisms, like
06:42 mircea_popescu "cheating X way good, cheating Y way bad"
06:42 mircea_popescu the results are appaling.
06:43 mircea_popescu this situation exactly mirrors the situation in speech, where people imagine "being nice" or "polite" consists of never using word X, such as nigger or fucktard, rather than, you know, actually being nice/polite/whatever
06:43 mircea_popescu the results being again appaling.
06:44 nubbins` being "professional"
06:44 mircea_popescu myeah.
06:44 nubbins` "where did this $9t go?" "we currently don't have that information until we finish our review" etc
06:44 mircea_popescu "professional" is "guy in a suit". pure cargo cultism.
06:45 nubbins` i was ruminating on this the other day
06:45 nubbins` HOW CAN HE KNOW BUSINESS
06:45 nubbins` HE WEARS NOT THE UNIFORM
06:45 nubbins` strange creatures, humans
06:45 mircea_popescu the obnoxious part is that i wear suits. always have. i was a highscooler with a three piece suit.
06:46 mircea_popescu i happen to like them. but wtf is with all these weasels!
06:47 nubbins` flapping your face = doing business
06:47 punkman I like this: "being friendly: looking out for your interests. being polite: obeying social decorum."
06:47 mircea_popescu lol where's that from ?
06:47 punkman being polite is useless mostly
06:48 nubbins` ^ this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of human nature
06:49 punkman mircea_popescu: not sure I got it from here, but google says: http://sebastianmarshall.com/friendliness-and-politeness
06:50 nubbins` being friendly: having a lel. being polite: inviting others to have a lel.
06:51 mircea_popescu btw, if anyone wants to see me with a fro... http://trilema.com/2011/fototeca-de-haur/ i just dug it up
06:51 nubbins` sebastian marshall had a lel writing that, and we had a lel reading it
06:51 nubbins` we are friendly and he is polite!
06:52 punkman that's a good fro
06:52 mircea_popescu im not friendly! who is this guy
06:53 nubbins` you're downright amicable. don't kid yourself
06:54 mircea_popescu lol
06:54 nubbins` http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/eu-tinar-8.jpg
06:54 nubbins` "where are his arms? why is a laptop hanging from his belt?"
06:54 nubbins` <- no coffee yet
06:55 mircea_popescu lol
06:55 mircea_popescu laptop utility belt, now that's an idea.
06:55 mircea_popescu and speaking of ideas, i can't believe nobody invented the spots solarium yet.
06:55 mircea_popescu you could have the light concentrate in particular places, make the girls look like leopards naturally.
06:55 mircea_popescu i bet you there's good money in that.
06:56 nubbins` mottled skin looks diseased
06:56 mircea_popescu not if the spots are large enough
06:56 mircea_popescu if they're say 2x2 to 3x5 or so they look... you know, like a leopard
06:57 nubbins` http://www.truehealthclinic.org/images/vitiligo_c_p_BEFORE.jpg
06:57 nubbins` yep, majestic hunter
06:57 nubbins` you'd need to keep tanning the same spots too, so you'd end up with your skin prematurely aged in certain areas
06:57 punkman you could take a vinyl body suit and cut some holes, wouldn't be very comfortable to tan in
06:58 nubbins` wrinkle spots by age 30
06:58 mircea_popescu you just get one burn-in session
06:58 mircea_popescu then come back next year for a new configuration
06:58 nubbins` http://radiantskinclinic.com/resources/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/Skin_Lightening_Category.jpg
06:58 mircea_popescu i guess this is why, gotta keep changing the machines
06:58 nubbins` look at my beautiful leopard spots ;(
06:59 KRS1 ;[
06:59 mircea_popescu nubbins` pick a younger one.
06:59 nubbins` time for brekkies

07:03 mircea_popescu so it looks like argentina will be getting a currency reform
07:03 mircea_popescu that's the fifth or so peso they ruined, those people.

07:06 Duffer1 it's a good interview if you need to brush up on some good sounding talking points
07:07 mircea_popescu uh lol
07:08 mircea_popescu from cnn right after the O speech last night: I think I’ve said before that I think a speech by Barack Obama is a lot like sex. The worst there ever was is still excellent, and I thought he gave a very competent performance tonight”
07:08 mircea_popescu dude, poor brejnev. he never had such fluffers.
07:13 BingoBoingo The wonders or beauracracy: Fill out the form or devise your own identical form http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2014/01/little_sisters_contraception_mandate_case_it_s_about_more_than_just_a_form.html
07:17 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo that entire dispute is pretty much a testament to how fundamentally unworkable the system has become
07:17 mircea_popescu can you explain to me what it's about ?
07:18 mircea_popescu i mean... i don't get it, i consider myself educated and so forth but i can't come to a conclusion
07:19 truffles an intellectual but not a genius :D
07:19 mircea_popescu are they saying "we don't have to sign something we don't want to sign because jesus" ? is it mopre like "we don't want to say anything definite about abortion in writing because we can't grok the consequences" ?
07:19 mircea_popescu it half reads like "forms make baby jesus cry" tbh.
07:19 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Basically some group had a religious objection to a form (they were nuns) . They pretested the need to complete the form in court. The court said well, you don't need to do that form, but you can fill out this identical form we imagineered or produce your own identical form. (the form relating to some Obamacar Birth Control thing)
07:20 mircea_popescu no i know the generalities.
07:20 mircea_popescu but WHY did they protestg, what's being objected to exactly ?
07:21 BingoBoingo Well, that they have to fill out a form to not cover birth control for their employees.
07:21 BingoBoingo Basically there being a form at all seems to actually make Baby Jesus cry was their argument.
07:21 BingoBoingo Not that they had to cover the birth control, but that there was a form.
07:21 mircea_popescu and how's a court supposed to rule on that ?
07:22 mircea_popescu they need the fucking rota.
07:22 kakobrekla they checked for tears
07:22 mircea_popescu lol
07:22 mircea_popescu "sorry, no tears were found. case dismissed"
07:22 kakobrekla yea
07:23 mircea_popescu btw, i hear you should be hacked.

07:26 truffles sad display circle jerk
07:27 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 20 @ 0.43 = 8.6 BTC [+]
07:27 BingoBoingo I am sad to announce that I don't want to bet on this superbowl. When the most interesting player is the fucking underdog's cornerback... I'm out.
07:28 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo you know, i burned a lot of cycles on the subject of why the fuck sports bets are faring so poorly on bitbet.
07:28 truffles betting on sports is like watching money leave pocket
07:28 kakobrekla >Furthermore, notice that a winning bet of .011 returns less than the bet itself (despite its weight), if you even happen to get it.
07:28 mircea_popescu the obvious explanation, and perhaps the likely one, is that bitbet just isn't particularly central in the betting space.
07:28 kakobrekla LMAO
07:28 BingoBoingo truffles: I'm net up on the past year
07:29 kakobrekla "Hi, im a brick, i have opinions."
07:29 truffles sample size 1 year
07:29 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Prolly bitbet isn lagging on sports because it is too good at finance
07:29 mircea_popescu however, it may also be that SPORTS BETTING isn't central. or in other words : the focus on advertising, scandal and bullshit, as wel las changing social mores and expectations have pretty much killed that model.
07:29 truffles lemme know in 3 or more
07:29 mircea_popescu nobody cares anymore about sports, and the bets continue sort-of by inertia, like investment in yahoo continues.
07:29 Duffer1 MP or there's not enough sports book being made to attract a betting crowd
07:30 mircea_popescu so in that theory, they will exist in old venues (like days ago someone mentioned old style phone service that's still continued . to the death of the captive customer)
07:30 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 50 @ 0.00437075 = 0.2185 BTC [+] {5}
07:30 mircea_popescu but in new venues it ain't happening.
07:30 mircea_popescu Duffer1 nowhere ?
07:30 BingoBoingo Well, of course it is inertia. It also pulls the sports bettors to more dangerous venues that offer lines on as many competitions as possible, as opposed to safe ole bitbet that only tries to offer profitable competitions
07:31 BingoBoingo Basically Bitbet is too responsible to attract sports bettors.
07:31 mircea_popescu so perhaps a correct model could be, "sports betting consists of people who lived in the 70s, had fun with bets in the 70s, continuing to do what they did then, where they did it then"
07:31 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 10 @ 0.43099999 = 4.31 BTC [+]
07:31 mircea_popescu if that's the case, a start-up hoping to get that market on a new model would be kinda doomed. the paying customer is too old to move and the young customer does not exist.
07:32 BingoBoingo Prolly and nao where it interesects with bitcoin includes you kids who wish they were in the 70's so they could sync iPods on their PDP-11
07:32 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo but there are plenty of insane bets on bitbet
07:32 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 20 @ 0.43624848 = 8.725 BTC [+] {6}
07:32 ThickAsThieves [07:25] <mircea_popescu> you buncha commies. you redistributed it did you <<< There is no escape from decentralization, chaos is nature after all!
07:32 mircea_popescu perhaps not the right kind of insane.
07:32 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Right, but I imagine most sports bettors never had the money to make a dent in the 2B difficulty bet.
07:33 Duffer1 bets not being created doesn't necessarily mean lack of interest in betting with bitcoin, if there was a specific section dedicated to live odds sports book it just might attract more people
07:33 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 10 @ 0.44649998 = 4.465 BTC [+] {3}
07:33 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 15600 @ 0.00088522 = 13.8094 BTC [+] {2}
07:33 mircea_popescu Duffer1 there's at least half a dozen diff sites that tried - and failed - to live on that model.
07:33 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: As far as football this year goes though, the NFL has had one on its most boring years in history.
07:33 Duffer1 i wouldn't know, just a thought ^.^
07:33 mircea_popescu the problem is this : other than the intrinsic unfairness to the bettors of the line model, it also requires VERY highly skilled people working for the hgouse, and non stop.
07:34 mircea_popescu you can't afford to pay for these without volume.
07:34 kakobrekla bah fuck you, now i replied.
07:34 BingoBoingo Last year Ray Lewis was in the Superbowl for stabbin bitches. This year Richard Sherman is in for yelling.
07:34 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 16 @ 0.4596874 = 7.355 BTC [+] {6}
07:34 mircea_popescu if you don't pay for them, then you'll get raped.
07:34 herbijudlestoids you dont think HFT bots can handle the job mircea_popescu?
07:34 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids on whose software ?
07:34 BingoBoingo herbijudlestoids: They those bots have openings too.
07:35 ThickAsThieves <mircea_popescu> nobody cares anymore about sports, and the bets continue sort-of by inertia, like investment in yahoo continues. <<< maybe it's like the forum sports betting is just a buncha scammers and noobs alt-betting
07:35 mircea_popescu hft bots aren't a magic amulet, like "bitcoin makes me anon so i can buy drugz"
07:35 herbijudlestoids i guess ot make a good bot would require similar investment to having good people
07:35 BingoBoingo HTF bots get owned by Slow penetrating bots
07:35 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.5 BTC [+]
07:35 mircea_popescu it's a war race.
07:35 herbijudlestoids good bot+infrastructure
07:35 herbijudlestoids arms race?
07:35 herbijudlestoids yea
07:35 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves i have no idea what's going on, tbh.
07:35 ThickAsThieves it's really way simpler an explanation
07:36 ThickAsThieves you have no exposure to the sports betting audience
07:36 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 11 @ 0.51416231 = 5.6558 BTC [+] {4}
07:36 herbijudlestoids moral of the story: just like all other businesses, an appropriate level of investment is required to have a successful outcome
07:36 BingoBoingo I mean the people who claim to bitcoin sportsbet seem to overlap with the BTC poker people
07:36 ThickAsThieves they dont even own bitcoins
07:36 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves this is factual. the question of interest however, is if such an audience even exists, and other such things.
07:37 truffles betting site but doesnt know market hmmm
07:37 mircea_popescu truffles nobody knows the market. some people admit to it.
07:37 herbijudlestoids ThickAsThieves: if you offered them a betting model that has a lower house commission, etc they might be very interested
07:37 ThickAsThieves it's like trying to sell truffles at a Patriots game
07:37 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids what's the house comission on line betting normally ? 2-5% ?
07:37 ThickAsThieves theyll be like eww mushrooms!
07:37 herbijudlestoids yea about that
07:37 truffles haha
07:37 mircea_popescu bitbet does 1%
07:38 herbijudlestoids but is there good game coverage and high liquidity?
07:38 mircea_popescu the difference to your risk of ruin between 1 and 4% is HUGE
07:38 herbijudlestoids yep
07:38 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 58 @ 0.00438319 = 0.2542 BTC [+] {4}
07:38 mircea_popescu it has more liquidity than vegas and no coverage at all
07:38 mircea_popescu in spite of coverage being self-serve.
07:38 herbijudlestoids so then i would posit its simply a matter of marketing
07:38 mircea_popescu bitbet actually PAYS 100 dollars for every bet made, yet people don't make sports bets.
07:38 herbijudlestoids did anyone allocate $500,000 or $1,000,000 to marketing?
07:38 mircea_popescu it would seem so, but i have suspicions that it's simply a question of there not being a market.
07:39 herbijudlestoids hmm
07:39 ThickAsThieves yeah
07:39 mircea_popescu which is a question that has to be resolved bfore i throw money at marketing people.
07:39 chetty The federal agency charged with helping consumers make better financial decisions is facing questions about how it has managed its own money.
07:39 mircea_popescu i have no doubt they can spend it.
07:39 ThickAsThieves dont go marketing truffles to football fans

07:39 ThickAsThieves it makes no sense
07:39 mircea_popescu ahahaha chetty that's gold
07:39 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves obviously more research is needed here. for one thing, how do we even know they're truffles.
07:39 herbijudlestoids the other option is ramp the entry costs and target high net worth betters
07:40 mircea_popescu just cause we think we're pretty cool ?
07:40 herbijudlestoids offer the 1% rate as a high net worth perk
07:40 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 5 @ 0.51677618 = 2.5839 BTC [+]
07:40 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids i would love to target high net work bettors, strictly to hear why they think it sucks.
07:40 ThickAsThieves well what is the most popular form of sports betting, its that intrade shares shit right?
07:40 mircea_popescu i don't have a book. anyone has/knows someone with a large old style book ?
07:40 herbijudlestoids many moons ago i used to work as an ops guy for a large cable tv company
07:40 BingoBoingo You know for someone who uses shady forum advertised sports books quite a bit... I prolly ought to look harder at who runs them.
07:40 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves intrade is ded. not sure if popular tbh, but definitely dead.
07:41 herbijudlestoids and one of the security guards happened to be extremely well off, but he worked as a guard to keep the tax offic eoff his back
07:41 mircea_popescu ha.
07:41 herbijudlestoids he owned a couple of horses and was relatively well known with the sydney horse racing community

07:41 herbijudlestoids one of my friends has my old job, ill ask him if the dude still works there
07:42 herbijudlestoids he *always* used to hassle me about making him an algo to arb the different online markets
07:42 ThickAsThieves just buy a biz that already has sports penetration
07:42 herbijudlestoids ^
07:42 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves yes, but i can't do that while random fuckwits keep smoking pot and getting arrested.

07:42 ThickAsThieves is that really you talking?
07:42 mircea_popescu well, what ?
07:43 mircea_popescu you want me to do an acquisition over irc ?
07:43 ThickAsThieves lol
07:43 mircea_popescu i'll need a bank, what.
07:43 truffles fuckwits hmm
07:43 herbijudlestoids fund some geeks in seattle to make the business

07:43 mircea_popescu a start-up is not what we're discussing here.
07:43 BingoBoingo I hear Seattle sports teams are cheap
07:43 mircea_popescu i should leverage-buyout the horseshoe.
07:43 ThickAsThieves ok new plan
07:43 mircea_popescu then i'd have their book, go through the past 20 years, talk to everyone.
07:43 ThickAsThieves hire the manager
07:44 mircea_popescu the manager is probably under a contract.
07:44 ThickAsThieves that runs the successful sports biz
07:44 BingoBoingo The Mariners might be 10K BTC this year and 1 K BTC next year

07:44 mircea_popescu a ok.
07:45 mircea_popescu we making a movie here or what.
07:45 herbijudlestoids hmm lemme ask someone something
07:45 mircea_popescu ask everyone everything.
07:45 ThickAsThieves #1 google return I get is http://www.bovada.lv/
07:45 ThickAsThieves fwiw
07:45 truffles oh look who doest know everything
07:46 herbijudlestoids damn nvm
07:46 BingoBoingo truffles: The things are these are things no one knows
07:46 herbijudlestoids i thought i knew someone in online sports advertising but it was music and the business has been sold to VICE anyway
07:46 ThickAsThieves sports bettings seems like such a chore, gawd
07:46 mircea_popescu it is a fucking chore.
07:46 mircea_popescu buncha old farts who think themselves cutting edge because they sorta-can read the email their granddaughter sends
07:46 BingoBoingo ThickAsThieves: Betting is a chore. I could not imagin the pain of running a venture.
07:47 mircea_popescu except they miss about half the pics, like say the drunken shots of her getting shagged in front of the courthouse.
07:47 ThickAsThieves nah sports is a whole other level of pain
07:47 herbijudlestoids mircea_popescu: what about if instead of a bank
07:47 herbijudlestoids you contacted one of the hedge funds that deals in bitcoins
07:47 herbijudlestoids and asked them to do the accq?
07:47 mircea_popescu the ones that failed to get listed on mpex and imagine they're into bitcoin ?
07:47 mircea_popescu yeah, this sounds promising. and i'll have to do what, explain to them what they're doing wrong ?
07:48 herbijudlestoids yeah, what do you care, you just need a funnel right?

07:48 herbijudlestoids i saw on linkedin there was at least one HF looking to hire BTC trader, so someone must be looking to build their book
07:48 herbijudlestoids just a suggestion
07:48 ThickAsThieves maybe you are barking up the wrongs tree
07:49 mircea_popescu maybe so.
07:49 ThickAsThieves why try to be something youre not
07:49 ThickAsThieves exploit something you can destroy at instead
07:50 mircea_popescu because i don't wish to destroy, i wish to exist. bitcoin is essential to this, and so here i am doing things i don't particularly wish to do on their own,
07:50 mircea_popescu so that this thing may ruin the faces and lives of people i don't like.
07:50 herbijudlestoids truly a nobler cause could not be undertaken

07:51 Duffer1 TaT like MPEx? hehe
07:51 mircea_popescu there, de niro's character in casino. that guy.

09:20 herbijudlestoids needs moar brand yo
09:20 ThickAsThieves the need to educate your customers is such a burden
09:21 mircea_popescu for some odd reason in romania "brand" denotes the thick of one's arm
09:21 herbijudlestoids thats essentially the technology premium toh
09:21 ThickAsThieves particularly in that you are teaching them something they REALLY dont want to believe
09:21 herbijudlestoids s/toh/tho
09:21 mircea_popescu so that whole discussion is extra funny to me
09:21 BingoBoingo herbijudlestoids: No need to own a still. Time spent operating a hypothical or alleged still could be better spent on other ventures.
09:21 herbijudlestoids i work in large scale IaaS and its the same, you gotta educate everyone
09:21 ThickAsThieves it gets extra fucked up too,
09:22 ThickAsThieves in that they are soo persistent
09:22 ThickAsThieves you start to wonder if they are right
09:22 ThickAsThieves and whether the whole thing is a joke
09:22 ThickAsThieves (it kinda is)
09:22 herbijudlestoids justuwait, the next gen kiddies will know all our secrets by the time theyre 12 and work for minimum wage to do the same thing
09:22 mircea_popescu this is starting to sound a little too much like popular bitcoin finance.
09:23 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids what rattles me is this : how can you sit there and propose democracy as anything but a horror, with this experience ?
09:23 ThickAsThieves i also began to feel guilty manipulating customers to not shoot themselves
09:23 herbijudlestoids mircea_popescu: i think there is a lot to be said for systems with high friction
09:23 BingoBoingo Didn't even have to read Plato
09:23 mircea_popescu why would you want more democracy at all, or any democracy whatsoever in anything you care about at all ?
09:23 ThickAsThieves you dont
09:23 mircea_popescu well i don't.
09:24 ThickAsThieves thats the big joke in entering the graphic design field
09:24 ThickAsThieves kids get into it to express their talent
09:24 mircea_popescu god forbid they start making democracy steak.
09:24 herbijudlestoids complex systems "complicate away" friction and make the system less robust
09:24 herbijudlestoids depart from equilibrium
09:24 ThickAsThieves but that job is all about doing what everyone else ssays
09:24 herbijudlestoids simple systems are robust and do not depart from equilibrium
09:24 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves this is a good point actualy.
09:24 herbijudlestoids easiest way to ensure robustness is friction
09:24 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids so make them simple rather than open.
09:25 ThickAsThieves then,
09:25 ThickAsThieves even if you make it, to be, say, a Creative Director

09:30 herbijudlestoids but if i cant efficiently allocate it then i wont allocate it to anything but cash and gold since im risk averse
09:30 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids there's a subtle point involved here : back when information cost money you had a bunch of ignoramuses clearly labeled as such and lots of educated people.
09:30 mircea_popescu in the wake of wikipedia you have strictly ignoramuses with delusions of education
09:30 herbijudlestoids really?
09:30 mircea_popescu and a few old people left over. once they die that's it.
09:30 asciilifeform anybody catch this:

09:30 herbijudlestoids so economists used to be better at predicting the economy and now they suck?
09:31 herbijudlestoids or economists have always sucked at predicting the economy and now we know it
09:31 ThickAsThieves predicting, lol
09:31 herbijudlestoids excuse my colloquialism
09:31 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids if you take the whole predictive discourse of economy in 1913 and compare to 2013
09:31 herbijudlestoids forecast
09:31 mircea_popescu you will find a marked decline in the average quality.
09:31 davout wouldn't "forecasting" be a better match?
09:31 mircea_popescu this is BECAUSE a democratic view to specialist fields is harmful for everyone involved :
09:32 mircea_popescu the idiots, the professionals, society at large.
09:32 herbijudlestoids mircea_popescu: as someone who actually sits on SSRN in his free time reading research old and new i kind of disagree
09:32 mircea_popescu well perhaps my view is wrong.
09:32 mircea_popescu maybe someone takes the time to settle this.
09:32 herbijudlestoids i dunno about your view but i am just saying predictive discourse was worse in 1913 than now
09:32 mircea_popescu tho it's a huge task, you can't even read all the deluge of today
09:32 BingoBoingo herbijudlestoids: Maybe subscribe to some more interesting stuff than SSRN
09:33 mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids worse, in what measure ?
09:33 ThickAsThieves is it really a prediction if it was the plan all along?
09:33 herbijudlestoids in resolution, accuracy, understanding, etc
09:33 mircea_popescu i strictly mean, average quality went down, in the sense the understanding displayed dwindled. not in the sense better predictions were done
09:34 herbijudlestoids BingoBoingo: plenty of interesting stuff from hedge funds and instos goes up there as working papers daily ;)
09:34 mircea_popescu (the reason you'll never have better predictions is modelled in http://trilema.com/2012/anonimity-or-the-urban-versus-rural-dispute/

09:45 nubbins` you'd crash and burn pretty close to the start
09:45 nubbins` unless you actually did take lsd
09:45 mircea_popescu nubbins` it's like the SAT, except to even show on the scale in s7 you need about 98% on the sat.
09:45 nubbins` in which case the crash and burn would be more like a smouldering fire
09:46 mircea_popescu besides, it costs plenty to even take.

09:53 nubbins` <zantafio> i have hundred btc on just dice.. very nvervous right now
09:54 nubbins` i'd be nervous with 100btc on a DICE SITE even if it wasn't down
09:54 mircea_popescu apparently teh ppl liked teh forum post.
09:54 mircea_popescu nubbins` i guess it depends whose.
09:54 nubbins` that's like almost half a house!
09:55 nubbins` "sez here you lost an incredible amount of money to some website. do you know who runs it?" "some guy named doug, i think"
09:56 herbijudlestoids in aus the house price to avg salary ratio is double the US, so 100BTC is like, 20% at best for the value of a house here :P
09:57 nubbins` herbijudlestoids: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-01-2014#465989
09:57 mircea_popescu this would imply aussies avgt salary is 2.5x us
09:57 herbijudlestoids mircea_popescu: GDP/capits is 70k PP USD in AUS and about 49k PPUSD in AUS

09:57 mircea_popescu wait wut ?
09:57 herbijudlestoids wut wut
09:57 mircea_popescu which is it, 70k or 49k ?
09:58 mircea_popescu schroedingaustralia ?
09:58 herbijudlestoids err sorry lol 49k in US
09:58 mircea_popescu gdp/capita is a poor measure of salaries, anyway.
09:58 herbijudlestoids but in both cases very close to the avg salary
09:58 nubbins` well, what's in an average
09:58 mircea_popescu ro gdp/capita is like 8k. average salary is like 500, minimum wage is a whopping 150 dollars.
09:59 nubbins` know the average income of the city bill gates lives?
09:59 herbijudlestoids some form of aggregate understanding?
09:59 nubbins` s/understanding/data
09:59 mircea_popescu like 2/3 of the population makes that minimum wage.
10:02 herbijudlestoids just checked to confirm US avg salary is $52k USD and AUS avg salary is $73k AUD, evens out to be about 50/70 on a PP basis
10:03 mircea_popescu point remains, there is a LOT of variance in both housing prices and salaries in the us.
10:03 mircea_popescu the "half a house" comment probably references older discussions re the housing market in central ohio
10:03 nubbins` nah just going on my own house
10:04 nubbins` only one person who regulars this chan cares about central ohio ;p
10:04 ThickAsThieves it's like $2800 for 1000sqft in San Francisco and $800/mo for a 1700sqft house in north Florida
10:04 nubbins` so many people from around here own houses in florida now
10:05 nubbins` imagine, the descendants of fishmongers from what is historically canada's poorest province, scooping up florida real estate like monopoly properties
10:06 nubbins` not sure if it says more about here or there
10:07 mircea_popescu The “True Love Tester” bra can’t be masterfully unhooked by some skeevy player who hit on the wearer at a club. No, this bra only comes undone when sensors embedded inside it that are connected wirelessly to a smartphone app detect a particular heart rate
10:07 mircea_popescu basically... it's the rape bra.
10:07 nubbins` facelamp
10:07 nubbins` guess it's not for the gym either
10:08 nubbins` actually the reverse would be great for the gym
10:08 herbijudlestoids ok its not double
10:08 mircea_popescu get on the stairmaster, tits go out
10:08 nubbins` keep your heart rate up OR ELSE
10:08 herbijudlestoids the house price to income in aus is about 4 atm and about 3 in the US
10:08 mircea_popescu dude that's a gread idea
10:08 nubbins` it's like the pay toilets in korea, you stop feeding coins and the door pops open
10:08 mircea_popescu perhaps make some cockrings with electricity too.

10:19 nubbins` does that extend to likenesses of assets or just the originals?

10:20 mircea_popescu uh
10:20 mircea_popescu what are you trying to do, let's start at that end
10:20 nubbins` haha.
10:21 nubbins` make a forum
10:21 nubbins` specifically, one with some sort of in-game beastie incorporated into the logo
10:21 mircea_popescu so enjoy.
10:22 nubbins` lovely
10:22 nubbins` not a lot to discuss yet, but figured it'd be nice to have something in place for when there is
10:22 mircea_popescu just don't start with any thermos bs.
10:22 nubbins` well i was thinking about banning everyone by default
10:23 mircea_popescu lol
10:23 nubbins` (srsly)
10:24 nubbins` hence the original question ;D
10:24 mircea_popescu well then if you ban everyone what do i care ? i'll never know.
10:24 nubbins` you'd probably get an honorary membership
10:24 nubbins` i mean, uh, un-baning
10:24 nubbins` *banning
10:25 mircea_popescu so what exactly aren;t you saying ?
10:25 nubbins` it's a pay forum
10:25 mircea_popescu well no, you can't do that.
10:25 nubbins` aha
10:26 mircea_popescu why do you want to make a pay forum anyway
10:26 nubbins` (a) to cover costs and (b) to get paid
10:26 nubbins` justifiable if the content is there
10:26 nubbins` for instance, gigposters.com forums costs $20/year for "premium" membership
10:27 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 162 @ 0.00615889 = 0.9977 BTC [+]
10:27 nubbins` not required, but you're mercilessly browbeaten if you leech too much good advice without buying one.
10:27 nubbins` and the real nice stuff, like plans for equipment, is hidden inside the premium members subforum
10:28 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 2 @ 0.63 = 1.26 BTC [-]
10:28 mircea_popescu but listen, if what you want is to get paid, you should do something else than a forum
10:28 mircea_popescu forums are god awful for this purpose. do something that pays.
10:28 azi` so weird.. if you want to withdraw funds from mtgox and send them to another BTC you are faced with "invalid BTC address" error multiple times and it only works after a random amount of "submit clicks..

10:29 azi` am I just paranoid?
10:29 nubbins` but that aside, i can't see myself running a free-for-all forum

10:29 KRS1 they've done other things like disabled onclick actions when you try to submit a form
10:29 nubbins` even with advertising
10:30 azi` KRS1: hm? what does thatmean
10:30 KRS1 they disabled submit buttons in the past
10:30 mircea_popescu nubbins` well that's kinda it, as a general principle. if you want to get paid do something that pays

11:45 b0n1 hey there! I just read an interesting article about the sefnit botnet (http://blogs.technet.com/b/mmpc/archive/2014/01/09/tackling-the-sefnit-botnet-tor-hazard.aspx) And I was wondering in what way this correlates with the litecoin mining difficulty
11:45 b0n1 what do you think? The drop at january is much later than the cleaning update, right? Did they clean directly when the cleaner was included in the microsoft update, or did they install the cleaner and trigger them simultaneously at a given time in the middle of january?

11:47 TomServo b0n1: You're wondering about the drop in LTC hashrate? Around the 19th?
11:48 b0n1 yeah
11:48 b0n1 TomServo its sefnit, isnt it?
11:48 punkman doge
11:48 TomServo I thought it was doge
11:48 b0n1 why so fast and abrupt?

13:04 TomServo well, in the 80s!
13:04 mircea_popescu i hated that hanna barbera shit. scooby doo, the jetsons, roadrunner, the works.
13:04 mircea_popescu i was an emo preteen!
13:04 TomServo haha
13:05 TomServo I preferred, M.A.S.K, COPS and transformers

13:10 TomServo Road Runner was a Loony Toon btw
13:11 mircea_popescu i guess it was.
13:15 mod6 i kinda liked the Road Runner.
13:17 mod6 Wile E. Coyote running off cliff without realizing that there is no ground beneath his feet reminds me of U.S. econ.
13:17 mircea_popescu but why ? the coyote tries shit, the roadrunner does not. yet it always comes ahead.
13:17 mod6 hhaha, i dunno. guess he's just too fast.
13:17 mircea_popescu i get it, the socialist mind wants this to be the case. yet... shiut doesn't work that way.
13:18 mircea_popescu irl the coyote eventually fucks up the roadrunner. badly.
13:18 mod6 I supposed after enough chance encounters, sooner or later the otherside wins one.
13:19 mod6 *suppose
13:19 mircea_popescu kinda what got me, you know ? it never fucking won. gets boring to watch it if you know the result aforehand
13:20 mod6 true enough. the main attraction is to find out what devious scheme the coyote will attempt and ultimately fail with.
13:21 mircea_popescu suppose no matter what you did, the computer just blinked the screen once. that's it.
13:21 nubbins` well, wimpy kids watching cartoons don't want the mean guy to win, y'know?
13:21 mircea_popescu wouldn't make anyone too interested in programming would it
13:22 mircea_popescu nubbins` how is the coyote the bad guy ?
13:22 mircea_popescu fucking roadrunner is the bad guy
13:22 nubbins` on account of him wanting to have lunch
13:22 nubbins` obv
13:22 nubbins` veg agenda
13:22 mircea_popescu what is this, guilttrippin for preteens ?
13:22 nubbins` mel blanc? vegan
13:22 mircea_popescu haha srsly ?!
13:22 nubbins` no idea ;(
13:22 TomServo lol
13:23 nubbins` doubt it
13:23 mircea_popescu this never occured to me. seems too simple to work :D
13:23 nubbins` recall the sheep skits
13:23 nubbins` same thing
13:23 mircea_popescu you mean with the titty chick whatever her name was ?
13:23 nubbins` nah sheepdog vs wolf
13:23 mircea_popescu i dun think i ever saw that
13:23 TomServo I'm with mod6, the draw was seeing what nonsense was Macgyver'd up by the coyote. (Much like MacGyver incidentally)
13:24 nubbins` http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e3/Sam_and_Ralph_choke.png
13:24 mircea_popescu but mcgyver GETS IT
13:24 mircea_popescu kinda why i never got into that, either : he always succeeds
13:24 mircea_popescu wtf is up with that
13:25 TomServo More of a Knight Rider guy?
13:25 mod6 yah, McGyver always seems to figure it out, always works out for him. never ends up with his balls in a vice.

13:48 gecko_x2 this is his proposal for escrow:
13:48 gecko_x2 I create and give you a btc wallet and password on blockchain with 5.7 BTC 2. You can login , check BTC, change password and attach and verify to your email this wallet 3. You send me the ltc 4. i release you the transfer keys so you can send BTC to your personal wallet that way block chain role is as escrow
13:48 mircea_popescu it's weak.
13:48 gecko_x2 what do you think?
13:48 gecko_x2 why?
13:48 ThickAsThieves lol

15:27 gecko_x2 i made a second pass
15:27 gecko_x2 how is this possible?
15:27 deadweasel did you use multi-sig?
15:27 gecko_x2 i was logged in

15:28 pankkake what is this second password thing?
15:28 deadweasel the eagle flies at midnight
15:28 ThickAsThieves until the bitcoins are in your own private wallet, you dont have them
15:28 pankkake blochchain.info derives the private key from the password IIRC

18:44 kakobrekla you mean price difference?
18:44 herbijudlestoids its the % return if you had invested in the asset at the tick

18:45 herbijudlestoids its a pretty normal way to break the timeseries down in quantitative analysis, but usually at a lower resloution than per tick
18:46 herbijudlestoids once i build up some data and refine my timestamping etc i will start to record 10 sec data from the ticks and then build all the lower resolutions from that high res feed
18:47 herbijudlestoids so you can see, the distribution of daily returns or, the 10-tick volatility, etc
18:47 herbijudlestoids also would like to figure out if there is a diurnal pattern in the assets
18:48 herbijudlestoids i cant show you some of the other stuff iv grabbed because i didnt timestamp properly and R wont plot it nicely

20:36 mircea_popescu "bitbet scammed me by sending my winnings to the address i paid from as i told it to"
20:36 mike_c i figured that was one of your sock puppets. those scam threads are good for business :)

20:48 mircea_popescu i just did the math. the bitbet scammed me dude actually bet... about a dollar,
20:48 mircea_popescu and lost about 0.7 cents to the low weight.
20:48 mircea_popescu i wonder if the shills/socks are actually paid less than this to start threads/make posts.
20:49 mircea_popescu he
20:49 mircea_popescu s got like > 100 words in there.
20:49 mircea_popescu the entire fucking forum is worth like fiddy bitcoin at these rates. all 500k threads of it.
20:50 herbijudlestoids doesnt it say the bet was 0.011BTC? i.e. 0.011 * ~1000 ~= 11USD? or was this when the price was lower, he says it was when th eprice was higher lol
20:50 mircea_popescu a wait you're right, i had a degree of magnitude off.
20:50 herbijudlestoids bro u scamd me out of 11USD
20:50 mircea_popescu he lost 7 cents to the low weight. i guess tis legitimate.

21:39 mircea_popescu of all the various items around me right now, none carry labels, for instance.
21:41 asciilifeform why would they be labeled?
21:41 pankkake brands?
21:42 mircea_popescu i have no idea.
21:42 mircea_popescu but somehow it became fashionable of late.
21:43 asciilifeform 'intel inside' and 'designed for winblows' stickers look great on toilet tanks
21:43 asciilifeform assuming you meant those
21:43 mircea_popescu i mean everything, really.
21:44 asciilifeform what's your answer to silkscreened print? 'dremel' ? or belt sander
21:45 mircea_popescu i don't recall buying silkscreened shit any time recently.
21:45 asciilifeform e.g. logo on mice, keyboards
21:46 Duffer1 "In your progress report of November 30th 2013 you stated "We have this last week shipped our first products to customers." - What product was shipped?"
21:46 Duffer1 Kslaughter: We shipped some accessories products to India.

21:46 kakobrekla as long as its not hugo boss
21:47 kakobrekla im talking labels

21:47 kakobrekla my brain ignores it
21:47 kakobrekla just like i do not see assbot quotes any more
21:47 kakobrekla they are there, i just dont see them

21:49 mircea_popescu i don't have a win key either.
21:49 kakobrekla for example, i still have stickers on my lappy, yes they are ugly and yes couldnt care less
21:50 asciilifeform i know of no decent keyboard with a winblows key
21:50 mircea_popescu a laptop is another good example, all sorts of shit to excise in there.

22:34 asciilifeform detecting VM is very, very easy.

22:36 Dimsler_ lol
22:36 mircea_popescu so basicallyh you're being the sucker in this deal.
22:36 Azelphur no, I am xD
22:36 Azelphur mircea_popescu: hopefully not ;)

22:37 asciilifeform https://github.com/kaniini/slabbed-or-not sucks, easily defeated.
22:37 mircea_popescu https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=129961.msg1394808#msg1394808
22:37 mircea_popescu stupidest first post in history of stupid first posts.
22:37 mircea_popescu but anyway, gl etc.
22:38 Dimsler_ lol the bitcoin foundation is dangerous
22:38 Azelphur mircea_popescu: haha, he's finance not technology :)
22:38 Dimsler_ i'm worried about the doing something stupid like blacklisting address'
22:38 Azelphur so he thinks in terms of the financial industry :)
22:38 Dimsler_ dangerous group of people
22:38 mircea_popescu Azelphur he's clueless. https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fscontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-ash3%2Ft1%2F264557_227871904003610_1955021226_n.jpg&t=536&c=G_exZJuL6gxbpQ << srsly ?!
22:38 asciilifeform Dimsler_: the sooner the phoundation 'shoots itself' in the head, rather than in the foot as usual, the better.
22:39 Azelphur mircea_popescu: perhaps, but our FPGA engineer isn't (I picked the engineer myself)
22:39 Dimsler_ well in the end i don't really give a shit what happens in america
22:39 Dimsler_ since its a small and insignificant place
22:39 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no, no, its current zombie/laughingstock state is useful. much like the power rangers.
22:39 mircea_popescu they absorb shocks
22:39 Dimsler_ lol
22:39 Dimsler_ well they dragged shrem away
22:39 Dimsler_ for loundering
22:39 Dimsler_ er laundering
22:39 Dimsler_ which the charges themselves are hilarious
22:39 Azelphur mircea_popescu: can't get much more skilled than this, no? http://ca.linkedin.com/pub/glendon-klassen/87/5b4/30 ;)
22:39 mircea_popescu Azelphur alright, just bear it foremost in your mind that a bunch of people ended up swindled to lend their credence to idiotic nonprojects by random wanna-be "experts" to date.
22:40 mircea_popescu so don't become another.
22:40 Dimsler_ oh you guys
22:40 Dimsler_ i love this new idiot
22:40 Dimsler_ vitalik
22:40 Dimsler_ or whatever
22:40 Dimsler_ the bitcoin magazine clown
22:40 mircea_popescu he's by no means new.
22:40 Dimsler_ well in 2012 he was buying btc off my exchange
22:40 Azelphur mircea_popescu: yea, I realise that, and it's something I worry about, but I am heavily involved, and I have sunk a lot of time and money into it
22:40 ThickAsThieves he's not an idiot, he's a "hacker"
22:40 Dimsler_ lol hes new to me
22:40 mircea_popescu Azelphur these are not considerations.
22:40 Dimsler_ vitalik is a moron
22:40 Azelphur so hopefully all will go well :)
22:40 Dimsler_ that has no idea about economics or cryptography
22:41 Azelphur mircea_popescu: oh, you know we already have functional hardware right? :P
22:41 Dimsler_ Azelphur, take your fucking scam else where
22:41 mircea_popescu that's fine, but the amount of time/effort sunk into anything has no bearing. you drop a hand of cards when you know they can't win, not when you're comfortable with how much you threw into the pot.
22:41 kakobrekla that dude has "webdev" on his linkedin. -10 internet points.
22:41 mircea_popescu Dimsler_ what's with you anyway
22:41 Apocalyptic Dimsler_, http://ethereum.org/
22:41 Apocalyptic his new project
22:41 Dimsler_ lol sorry
22:41 Dimsler_ i'm hating today
22:42 kakobrekla Dimsler_ serbia is hating back
22:42 assbot [HAVELOCK] [DEALCO] 25 @ 0.004072 = 0.1018 BTC [-] {3}
22:42 ThickAsThieves there'll never be a bitcoin 2.0 because all the cries of wolf
22:42 Dimsler_ i saw the ethereum project, its got more holes then the block of swiss cheese in my fridge
22:42 Azelphur Dimsler_: haha, with my otc rep, it'd have to be one hell of a long con
22:42 mircea_popescu o so i get it now, slovenia is not slovakia because it is in fact the other name for serbia ?
22:42 Apocalyptic ^
22:42 Dimsler_ i could use a vacation in croatia
22:43 kakobrekla is this how is going to end? country trolling?
22:43 mircea_popescu Azelphur that's not the point, the point is that you wouldn't be the first guy used for his rep.
22:43 Dimsler_ the french riveria got expensive lately
22:43 Dimsler_ cause the euro got raped
22:43 Dimsler_ er
22:43 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 15833 @ 0.00089401 = 14.1549 BTC [-] {2}
22:43 Dimsler_ usd to euro rape
22:43 Azelphur mircea_popescu: yea, I agree, it's a risk.
22:43 mircea_popescu anyway.
22:43 asciilifeform altera cyclone V GX
22:43 Dimsler_ Azelphur, list on mpex so we can pump and dump it?
22:43 asciilifeform max ALUs - 113,560
22:43 Azelphur Dimsler_: haha :)
22:44 asciilifeform max clock: 550MHz
22:44 asciilifeform http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/cyclone-v/cv_51001.pdf
22:44 asciilifeform tell us again about 10GH/sec SHA256.
22:44 Azelphur mircea_popescu: I reckon we'll do fine though, at the end of the day we have the thing and it's hashing right now, so we've already won really
22:44 Azelphur even if 0 preorders and nobody buys, we'll just mine on it and laugh.
22:45 Dimsler_ why don't you just mine on it now
22:45 mircea_popescu so if you already have the thing and it hashes why is your "finance industry" pal posting stuff david thorpe designed ?
22:45 Azelphur Dimsler_: we are
22:45 mircea_popescu thorne*
22:45 Azelphur mircea_popescu: posting pictures of an altera dev kit is hardly amazing/interesting
22:45 assbot AMAZING COMPANY!
22:46 kakobrekla ^^
22:46 kakobrekla assbot has it
22:46 asciilifeform speaking of which,
22:46 asciilifeform http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&CategoryNo=167&No=830
22:46 mircea_popescu according to who, the finance industry ? cmon.
22:46 Azelphur but you do have a point, I could get our FPGA guy to post some stuff
22:46 Azelphur yea, I'll bug him about it :P
22:46 asciilifeform $180.
22:46 mircea_popescu anything is better than a 640px wide picture of six green lines
22:46 asciilifeform for anyone who has these same fit-ten-pounds-of-shit-in-a-five-pound-bag skillz.
22:47 mircea_popescu Azelphur so your product you've won with is a fpga ?!
22:47 asciilifeform 'those who refuse to do arithmetic are doomed to talk nonsense.'
22:47 kakobrekla 100 btc aint gonna make asics
22:47 kakobrekla not yet at least.
22:47 Dimsler_ lol
22:47 Azelphur mircea_popescu: seems so, ain't many decent FPGAs out there for altcoins
22:47 Azelphur seemed like a good niche
22:48 mircea_popescu aha.
22:48 Dimsler_ alt coins suck
22:48 Dimsler_ theres no prize for second place ok
22:48 Dimsler_ charles lee knows this first hand
22:48 Azelphur mircea_popescu: and hopefully won't get me thrown in jail, haha
22:48 mircea_popescu Dimsler_ actually miners may make a buck out of all the retarded kids who think a bigger number of coins is better.
22:48 Dimsler_ mmm 81 million litecoins
22:49 Dimsler_ must have cryptocurrncy with billions of coins
22:49 mircea_popescu then they can get scammed out of fiddy billion coins at a time instead of .5
22:50 Duffer1 azelphur so your target is sha256 altcoin miners?
22:50 Azelphur Duffer1: hell no, the sha256 is mostly for shits and giggles
22:50 Azelphur the main targets are scrypt and prime
22:50 Duffer1 BitEx M2 coin?
22:51 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 8 @ 0.59993737 = 4.7995 BTC [+] {4}
22:51 kakobrekla <Duffer1> azelphur so your target is sha256 altcoin miners?
22:51 kakobrekla all sha alts can be mined on asic afaik
22:51 Dimsler_ alt currencies = modern day boiler room
22:51 Dimsler_ like i get satoshi premining himself the 1mil in coins
22:52 Dimsler_ because he deserved something for the smart scheme
22:52 Duffer1 ya kako lol that's what i was trying to point out :P
22:52 Dimsler_ but charles lee is just a fag that offers nothing
22:52 Dimsler_ same applies to the rest of the crypto alt clowns premining themselves coins
22:52 mircea_popescu Dimsler_ he didn't even premine it.
22:52 Dimsler_ yeah i know
22:52 Dimsler_ lol
22:52 Azelphur Duffer1: our number theory guy really wanted to try his hand at a new alt :)
22:52 Azelphur and baring in mind he's pretty much perfectly qualified (number theory / fpga) it'll be interesting to see what he comes up with
22:53 Duffer1 tell him to be honest with himself and just name it Hodor Coin
22:53 Azelphur :P
22:53 Dimsler_ lol new alt
22:53 Azelphur I can probably drag him in here, if ya'll are interested.
22:53 Dimsler_ no
22:53 Duffer1 that would be fascinating
22:53 Dimsler_ no it would not quit trolling the guy
22:54 Azelphur lol
22:55 Duffer1 what's the six month plan for bitex?
22:55 Dimsler_ its the i'll take all your money and in six months i'll be gone plan
22:56 asciilifeform recipe for those disinclined to be chumped: 1) read published (3 yrs +) verilog src for sha256. 2) build. 3) see minimum gate count for unrolled hasher 4) laugh
22:56 Apocalyptic seriously Dimsler_ wtf
22:56 asciilifeform and this is the ideal figure - does not include memory controller, scrypt crap...
22:58 Azelphur Duffer1: get the FPGAs out, work on new cores, we're also thinking of doing some bitcoin commerce
22:58 Azelphur Dimsler_: would be hard considering there's no way to give us your money yet ;)
22:58 kakobrekla its like all in one shaman stop
22:59 Duffer1 bitcoin commerce?
22:59 Dimsler_ kakobrekla, lol
23:00 Azelphur Duffer1: yea, ie setting up a reasonably well stocked computer store
23:00 Azelphur there doesn't seem to be anyone doing that in UK
23:00 Dimsler_ now a computer store?
23:00 Dimsler_ honestly great buisness plan
23:01 Apocalyptic "this will be our temporary home while we setup our IRC server", Azelphur why would you setup your own IRC server for 1 channel ?
23:01 Azelphur that's one of my things I'd like to work on in the future, he asked for the 6 month plan, which goes beyond the FPGA ;)
23:01 Azelphur Apocalyptic: that'd be Oliver not listening to me again when I told him no IRC server
23:01 Azelphur he fails at listening sometimes :(
23:01 Apocalyptic sounds like a waste of time to setup and manage it
23:01 Azelphur yup
23:02 Azelphur and an annoyance to the users
23:02 Azelphur it won't happen, it'll stay on freenode :P
23:02 Duffer1 freenode4life
23:02 Azelphur ^
23:02 Apocalyptic *4lyfe
23:02 Dimsler_ lol
23:02 Dimsler_ goo efnet
23:04 Dimsler_ Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

23:34 Diablo-D3 why does he sound like a russian dietary supplement
23:34 ThickAsThieves a man with a dreams

23:35 Dimsler_ lol hes like amir taaki
23:35 Dimsler_ sold all his btc for a pizza
23:35 Dimsler_ aren't thye both now squating in some slum in spain?

23:48 diametric herbijudlestoids: I wouldn't really call that a key patent.
23:48 diametric that article is poorly written too.
23:48 diametric The SLS process has nothing to do with the cost of nylon (or any) powders..
23:48 diametric Thats like saying the patent on Ford engines has increased the cost of gasoline.
