RagnarDanneskjol BingoBoingo - is there anyone else to mine the pool other than Rob? Its going to be virtually impossible to validate pool functionality without at least 2 separate miners running non-stop for at least 24 (pref 48 or more) hours [00:17]
BingoBoingo RagnarDanneskjol: I guess I can rent a miner. [00:17]
RagnarDanneskjol i can too - just hoped someone was already doing it [00:18]
RagnarDanneskjol let me see if i can identify some reliable renta-miner ppl [00:18]
BingoBoingo What's the pool address. I'll get something aimed at it [00:18]
RagnarDanneskjol hang [00:18]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 20 @ 0.18999492 = 3.7999 BTC [+] {6} [00:19]

RagnarDanneskjol http://104.131.60.126 [00:19]
RagnarDanneskjol thx chris - forgot port [00:20]
chalbersma You can also use http://72.135.98.192:8559/ as a backup. [00:20]
assbot P2Pool [00:20]
RagnarDanneskjol k [00:20]
chalbersma The second one is running on my home connection I plan to keep it running until we validate and release the p2pool software and more people start running their own copies. [00:20]
RagnarDanneskjol wtf i that advert on the bottom of pool? [00:22]
RagnarDanneskjol wtf is* [00:24]
chalbersma On me personal pool? I need to remove that but that was me initially testing the advertising idea. [00:24]
chalbersma 104 shouldn't have an advert [00:24]
RagnarDanneskjol I am EXTREMELY suspicious of any cloud-mining operation - they are a barrel or snakes [00:24]
RagnarDanneskjol ok [00:24]

-assbot- Welcome to #bitcoin-assets. To get voice (ie, to be able to speak), first identify with gribble and then send "!up" to assbot in a private message. If you do not have a WoT account, try politely asking one of the voiced people for a temporary pass. [02:42]
jdanks you think js is wierd? [02:42]
BingoBoingo X-Rob: This share difficulty = 1.0 definitely seems to be a problem [02:42]
* assbot gives voice to mircea_popescu [02:42]
jdanks i guess it depends where you have started. [02:42]
kdomanski it's inconvenient at the very least [02:42]
X-Rob BingoBoingo: yeah, I'm solo mining again, for the moment. [02:42]
mircea_popescu hm, what's a normal temperature for a normal desktop videocard to normally run at ? [02:43]
mircea_popescu not mining or anything. [02:43]
kdomanski mircea_popescu: what did you do before bitcoin? [02:43]

mircea_popescu generally, whenever someone complains whatever they complain about should be replaced by something that's about a degree of magnitude more likely to bother them personally. [04:46]
ben_vulpes yeah but only when the contractors arent around [04:46]
DiabloD3 before all this fucking "women's rights" shit ruined it for everybody [04:46]
ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: that's the point of using "poorly engineered" [04:47]
mircea_popescu aok [04:47]
ben_vulpes they know we're saying the same thing. [04:47]
DiabloD3 seriously, I know women who would be fired for sexual harassment of men [04:47]
DiabloD3 and it'd be a legitimate firing [04:47]
mircea_popescu hai DiabloD3 [04:47]
DiabloD3 the upper brass would just shut that whole thing down [04:47]
DiabloD3 so to tell me women aren't willing participants in the whole office thing is bullshit [04:47]
DiabloD3 there are many women who get off on men with power, and it is not our right as a society on who is allowed to get off on what (outside of bestiality and pedophilia and catholics [04:48]

mircea_popescu by the way : chloroform can be trivially manufactured out of either acetone (nail polish remover) or ethanol through addition of chlorine bleach. [05:06]
ben_vulpes wow! [05:09]
mircea_popescu it is difficult to store, because if air gets to it they make phosgene and hcl ; however it can be trivially washed in a solution of baking soda, which removes the decomposition products safely. [05:09]
mircea_popescu lethal dose is 45 grams, which is just about 1 mol, or ~22 liters of pure, unconstricted gas. [05:10]

decimation also if you are using an adc you are going to want careful signal separation and shielding like asciilifeform implied. [05:20]

asciilifeform why that particular one is being pushed 'for crypto!' - mystery. [05:22]

mircea_popescu does not take any genius [05:26]

mircea_popescu y argentine will warn you to "be careful with your belongings!111eleventy", they have special implements in many restaurants to hook&tie your purse to the table, they go as fucking far as to wear backpacks in front, and many kids with it in the back had this mental issue where they reached back and touched the zipper every 30 seconds.

mircea_popescu by the way, BitBet announcement : the contract specifies 30% of shares are sold on a increasing schedule, after their being sold me and kako each get 10% into our accounts. [17:02]

kakobrekla no. [17:03]
mircea_popescu seeing how it's been about two years and the 30% still ain't all sold, and given that the contract was made at a btc of like 15 so it significantly misjudges things, and seeing how us having 0 shares in hand is inconvenient because we want to do things like give mike some shares cause he keeps doing cool shit [17:03]
mircea_popescu i am unilaterally modifying that thing, and will release the 10% blocks to our accounts later this week. [17:03]

The proceeds of those sales will go to the two individuals named above, alternatively for each block, starting with Matic "kakobrekla" Kočevar for the first block. Thirty days after the completion of the IPO as described in paragraph (b) above the remainder 2`000`000 (two million) shares will be distributed e [17:08]

mircea_popescu kakobrekla well completion of ipo as in, them selling. [17:09]
kakobrekla a right. [17:09]
mircea_popescu which.. you know. but anyway, lessons learned galore from that 1st try. it's time to release the undead hold. [17:09]

mircea_popescu kakobrekla because if you have a lot of money and not much thought leadership you will be scammed. [18:52]
ThickAsThieves apple died when it went ALL in on design and walled garden [18:52]

thestringpuller whats the key component of a label? i originally thought distribution but i'm certain i'm wrong [19:05]
ThickAsThieves i have some decent ideas about music thingies but my right left says no [19:05]
ThickAsThieves that's the key component of a distributor ;) [19:05]
thestringpuller XD [19:06]
ThickAsThieves a label can be any subset or all services required to have a music business [19:06]
thestringpuller distribution seems moot in light of ticket sales on tours (if the artist has that kind of pull on fans) [19:07]
ThickAsThieves mgmt, booking, pr, dist, merch, legal, etc [19:07]
ThickAsThieves i think there's something to applying crowdfunding concepts to music biz [19:07]
ThickAsThieves might be where it's going [19:07]
ThickAsThieves like memberships, buffet subscriptions, preorder stretch goals and shit [19:08]
thestringpuller what about acquiring fans tho? [19:08]
thestringpuller like for instance Jay-Z can announce a concert and it sales out [19:08]
ThickAsThieves these days, that's the artist's problem [19:08]
thestringpuller Beatlemania in the 60's [19:08]
thestringpuller etc. [19:08]
thestringpuller has it always been the artist's problem? [19:09]

ThickAsThieves the talent market is much more commoditized now [19:11]
ThickAsThieves easy to find decent bands, so easier to focus on ones that already have some traction [19:11]
ThickAsThieves look at macklemore, he did it without signing to anyone [19:11]
ThickAsThieves so he says at least [19:12]
thestringpuller i wonder how fans select someone to follow in critical mass [19:13]

ThickAsThieves sure [19:13]
thestringpuller but she still sells out venues [19:13]

mircea_popescu technically arm = brat ; hand = mina but in practice nobody even knows what brat is [20:38]
kakobrekla as sad as it might be, i dont think a nice package ever hurt a good product? [20:40]
* mircea_popescu think [20:41]
mircea_popescu how about the early macs ? [20:41]
mircea_popescu good product, nice package, went nowhere [20:41]
midnightmagic Is the language falling into disuse then in its complexities? Like is it simplifying over time? [20:42]
kakobrekla cause of package? [20:42]
kakobrekla maybe the package wasnt nice? [20:43]
mircea_popescu midnightmagic this is a universal phenomenon, since the media heavily favours the more easily influenced members of a population, and they tend to be young, the media discourse then tends to focus on the linguistic abilities of noob speakers. [20:43]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla better than competitors at time im sure. [20:43]

midnightmagic mircea_popescu: It is universal; some languages are resistant to it, for various reasons. There are some theories on that based around a language's resilience and flexibility, but I thought the population speaking Romanian was large enough to preserve it. It's pretty unfortunate if that's not so. :( [20:44]

mircea_popescu romanian is the most flexible language i've ever heard. [20:44]
mircea_popescu its defense comes from exactly this flexibility, it's basically a hardened whore. you can abuse it any way you please, for as long as you please, [20:45]

* rithm is an expert at the apple II/e, the last Apple product he owned [20:47]
kakobrekla well then diametric can answer. [20:47]
mircea_popescu midnightmagic i just made a passing remark :) the way the stupid youth ends up apt is through running into these scattered about. [20:47]
asciilifeform kakobrekla: package being what? ui? in a way, they did. recall why ibm pc - similarly costly - ran over the early macs, despite technical inferiority in every sense. [20:47]
BingoBoingo http://espn.go.com/page2/s/thompson/010918.html [20:48]
rithm my ubuntu desktop just took a total shit from 12.04 to 14.04 and do-release-upgrade [20:48]
rithm if that's remotely topical [20:48]
rithm macs suck [20:48]
kakobrekla i wouldnt limit it to ui but ill take the answer. [20:49]
mircea_popescu even the physical machine was nicer [20:49]
mircea_popescu in a "better design" sense [20:49]
kakobrekla still we are at one, potential case here. [20:49]
mircea_popescu early pcs were a nightmare [20:49]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla all i need to dispel a universal negative is one example :) [20:49]
mike_c BingoBoingo: is this a new discovery for you? I used to love it when HST was writing for page 2 [20:49]
mike_c there was another good guy who died. [20:49]
rithm i know how to open terminal on a mac, though...so that's one thing it has going for it [20:49]
mike_c ralph wiley i think [20:49]
BingoBoingo mike_c: It's a discovery that ESPN still has this stuff online. [20:50]
kakobrekla mircea_popescu dont worry, the next question is did it hurt more than half. [20:50]
mike_c page2 used to be really good. then the good writers died and it turned to crap. [20:50]
asciilifeform rithm: mac in question here is circa mid-1980s. different animal. [20:50]
midnightmagic mircea_popescu: I see. Just curious. I know nothing about Romanian, sadly, but I love the weird incompatible concepts that seem to pervade languages like tlingit.. [20:50]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla what is this supposed to be, business ?! [20:50]
kakobrekla i thought it was guessing games. [20:50]
rithm i only had the II/e [20:51]
mircea_popescu midnightmagic but you speak french ? [20:51]
rithm never an actual macintosh with tetris [20:51]
rithm we had those in high school [20:51]
asciilifeform rithm: II/e - not a mac [20:51]
rithm they were good for tetris iirc [20:51]
rithm the actual macintosh classics [20:51]
rithm it was the original .ru socialist teris too [20:52]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: mac did not fit the cargo-cult spec - defined by ibm, naturally - of 'feeling businessy' - and therefore yes, did suffer from 'nice package.' [20:53]
* OX3 has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) [20:53]
mircea_popescu which is the substance of the disagreement with kako i suspect. [20:53]
mircea_popescu i am not willing to allow the "feeling usg-y, feeling fiat-y" package no matter the cost. [20:54]
midnightmagic mircea_popescu: I can speak it well enough to order a beer, buy groceries, and insult the locals, with a halfway bastardized accent between parisian and quebecois, and I can hear it enough to get about 70% of radio broadcasts and conversational (polite) parisian french, and about 30% of slangy quebecois.. [20:54]
mircea_popescu they have to start feeling bitcoin-y if i have to personally strangle every single andreas out there. [20:54]
rithm i'm only about 25% french reading and hearing [20:54]
midnightmagic can I pay to watch that? [20:54]
mircea_popescu midnightmagic so then you know a lot about romanian, same latin structure and very close use of voice [20:54]

kakobrekla also the problem with apple example: bitcoin had a market cap of only a few grand or w/e in 2011. despite being the superior tech solution. [20:56]
mircea_popescu why is 2011 the cutoff ? [20:56]
kakobrekla why is early mac cutoff? [20:56]
mircea_popescu and in 2011 bitcoin was the superior tech solution to a wet sock. [20:56]
rithm 2012 was more fun [20:56]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla i was discussing the actual product, not the company. [20:56]
kakobrekla meh, take the current mkt cap for all i care [20:56]
kakobrekla still peanuts. [20:56]
mircea_popescu for all i care you can take early macs marketshare in 2011 if it pleases you [20:56]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu, kakobrekla: it is important to remember that mac product actually died. it is deader than many other dead things, even, because got hollowed out and taxidermied. [20:57]
kakobrekla bitcoin is a product as early mac is a product [20:57]
kakobrekla none of those are a company [20:57]
mircea_popescu not really. [20:57]
mircea_popescu electricity isn't a product even if it isn't a company. [20:57]
mircea_popescu bitcoin is a natural phenomenon. [20:57]
rithm but like bitcoin 2011 is like mac classic and 2012 is like imac [20:57]
kakobrekla but you can measure bitcoin in sold units [20:57]
mircea_popescu you can measure love in sold units as well. [20:57]

mircea_popescu no, i'm with you, that ui died. [20:58]
mircea_popescu and it didn't die because it was either a bad product or badly packaged. [20:59]
kakobrekla ok then, no ui, in a "better design" sense [20:59]
kakobrekla that. [20:59]
mircea_popescu it died for the exact reason the usg will die, no matter how it packages itself, no matter how it argues for its own goodness. [20:59]
BingoBoingo The original Mac UI died before even Hypercard [20:59]
mircea_popescu it will die because the people that matter dun like its mug. [20:59]

kakobrekla proper cause? [21:08]
mircea_popescu but anyway, the solution to the "gui problem" is not to resolve the gui problem but to let it resolve itself. whoever wants a different gui should be supported to make it. skins are too little too high up, but still the right idea. [21:08]
kakobrekla how do you measure properness? [21:08]
mircea_popescu everyone his own gui is how nature works [21:09]

mircea_popescu qq1932 dude, there's a major difference between "highschool understanding" of any topic and fundamental understanding of such outstanding quality as to recognise fundamentally correct but contemporaneously obscure advances. [22:17]
fluffypony is this a lubrication project? [22:17]

qq1932 mircea_popescu: I disagree with you that it always takes much more than "highschool understanding" of any topic to recognize fundamental innovations that eluded people. In fact, this is the reason a lot of people think the "obvious" bar is too low and no patents should be granted . I had someone tell me that there is no fundamental innovation of any kind in the past 200 years that was not "obvious". [22:20]
mircea_popescu good for that someone. [22:21]
fluffypony my rap music isn't obvious [22:21]
fluffypony mostly becuse it doesn't exist [22:21]
fluffypony yet. [22:21]
The20YearIRCloud lots of people are like that qq1932 , those are the people that rarely amount to anything [22:21]
mircea_popescu meanwhile, the time honored tradition of con artistry is to flatter people who are too stupid to understand how stupid they are by making this confusion, between "highschool understanding" as required to understand well known and widely understood topics, and extremely advanced fundamental understanding required to understand similarly just as simple, but not widely known topics. [22:22]
qq1932 mircea_popescu: I can understand this but in this particular case the principles are no more advanced (by comparison) than the Watt steam engine at the time. It's a different field, this is an analogy. [22:23]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the time honored tradition of con artistry << i call this '10th dimension-ism' in honour of a particularly egregious web-based psycholoscamz0r. [22:23]
qq1932 mircea_popescu: I agree with what you're saying, and most innovations in, e.g. battery technology, or fusion reactor design, and so forth, are far too difficult for anyone other than a non-expert to evaluate. [22:23]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform worked on the same premise ? [22:23]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: precisely same. diddles the mark's 'feeling educatickled' receptors. [22:24]
qq1932 Basically, I agree with you. At any rate anyone who is interested in hearing in this needs to self-qualify as having enough understanding of basic high-school physics that they actually could have understood the Watt steam engine 70 years early, if Watt had described it. If you self-qualify (it sounds, mircea_popescu, that your answer is no) we can discuss. This is a totally discretionary project. [22:24]
mircea_popescu works really well picking up women, fwiw. [22:24]
mircea_popescu qq1932 what is a "discretionary project" ? [22:24]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: works well << yes! 'tell me again about the waters of your homeworld.' ('Dune'.) [22:25]
mircea_popescu :D [22:25]
qq1932 mircea_popescu: I have not committed any resources to it, and cannot commit to full-time work on it; I have two major existing outside commitments. I may not do the project at all. [22:25]
mircea_popescu uh. [22:25]
qq1932 mircea_popescu: this means, however, that I am at liberty to share 100% of it within hte limits of what IP law permits (as this is a licensing play, like Watt's engine). [22:26]
qq1932 mircea_popescu: there is no "secret" component to this, I don't need to hold anything back. Of course, that only matters to those self-qualifying as having enough understnading to discriminate between the Watt's steam engine 70 years early (1700) and snake oil. [22:27]
mircea_popescu dude, let me tell you something to help your head calibrate yourself. i recently wrote to a famous illustrator, whose work is celebrated by an actual fanbase and included in successful franchises. he committed, on the basis of that conversation, and the whole thing is costing me bitcoin fractions so far.
