(trilema) mike_c: 1.0 can be the first version that has no more bitcoincore legacy code in it
(trilema) mike_c: fractional versions serve purpose normally (not in bitcoincore fantasyland)
(trilema) mike_c: yeah, and to follow this odd analogy, it doesn't call itself "toad". it calls itself "crocodile"
(trilema) mike_c: i would rather use b-a bitcoin v0.1 over derpy bitcoin v0.9
(trilema) mike_c: exactly, so why follow their lead?
(trilema) mike_c: and that is worth signifying, instead of looking like a clone.
(trilema) mike_c: because it will be different (and better)
(trilema) mike_c: right, which is v0.1 - pillaging.
(trilema) mike_c: why the fuck would this project follow in derpy footsteps?
(trilema) mike_c: uh, like all of it?
(trilema) mike_c: hey thickasthieves, wake up and back me up. this things needs different branding.
(trilema) mike_c: it's not 0.6 rly either
(trilema) mike_c: why not release it as real 0.1
(trilema) mike_c: in short order it will be hosting the charter i assume.
(trilema) mike_c: Server failed
(trilema) mike_c: nslookup qntra.net 206.190.151.180

(trilema) mike_c: last 3 months: dow -5%, brk +7%
(trilema) mike_c: warren has a fortress. not easily assailable.
(trilema) mike_c: plus he would get good tax benefits if it went to 0
(trilema) mike_c: which represents 7% of brk.a market cap
(trilema) mike_c: berkshire wells fargo holdings are currently worth $24B
(trilema) mike_c: your FUD won't win you that bitbet ;)
(trilema) mike_c: s/holding company/investment fund/
(trilema) mike_c: couple stock holdings taking a hit isn't that big a deal
(trilema) mike_c: or, an investment fund.
(trilema) mike_c: berkshire isn't a holding company.
(trilema) mike_c: <+ben_vulpes> http://www.nhplace.com/kent/CL/x3j13-sd-05.html << this seems like a good, simple, plain example.
(trilema) mike_c: charter ideas: 1) maintain a workable core with no shit in it. 2) specify bitcoin 3) write a new implementation because you can't polish a turd.
(trilema) mike_c: isn't somebody making a good alternative implementation? why take 0.5.3 as the b-a client.
(trilema) mike_c: polish the turd?
(trilema) mike_c: BingoBoingo: whoa. that looks disastrous at first
(trilema) mike_c: ben_vulpes: i know in later version i had to explicitly set it blank
(trilema) mike_c: <+mircea_popescu> http://bitbet.us/bet/1056/bitcoin-to-drop-under-200-before-december/#c4173 << check it out, they managed to break the urls. << bitbet has a broken url
(trilema) mike_c: from (retarded) mit paper: "This work was supported in part by NSF grants CMMI=1335155 and CNS-1161964, and by Army Research Office MURI Award W911NF-11-1-0036.

(trilema) mike_c: PWC, the bitcoin experts! :)
(trilema) mike_c: nothing wrong with this in a commentary, but I would also like to be able to read the un-slanted version.
(trilema) mike_c: " the world's largest banks gathered together to hold hands and sing kumbaya in the hope that Bitcoin would be gentle"
(trilema) mike_c: generally the editorial that is slanted is not the only source of news on the topic.
(trilema) mike_c: ok, that is good. but that is also news i would like to have.
(trilema) mike_c: i don't mean to poop on pete, but his is the one i just read.
(trilema) mike_c: all communication has a slant. a news article should strive to have less than a blogger.
(trilema) mike_c: or, to rephrase. a news article shouldn't have as much of a slant as a blog post.
(trilema) mike_c: should the news have as much of a slant as a blog post?
(trilema) mike_c: ok. so i guess that was mpif's 2m atc getting out
(trilema) mike_c: yes, i saw
(trilema) mike_c: somehow i misunderstood based on bingo's continued involvement and the renting of the hashpower.
(trilema) mike_c: atc? shit, guess i gotta read logs faster.
(trilema) mike_c: 24m atc in existence. took 2m to take price to 1
(trilema) mike_c: 60+ th/s?
(trilema) mike_c: pm kakobrekla add me add me!
(trilema) mike_c: i don't understand. what's the fun of all the ddos if you're not going to come in here and taunt?
(trilema) mike_c: on the other hand, he's all over the bfl forums
(trilema) mike_c: we should get this ivan frimmel guy in here, i like the way he yells at bitcoin devs.
(trilema) mike_c: my ass, not my asshole
(trilema) mike_c: kiss my ass?
(trilema) mike_c: hm.. "just do what i say and stfu"
(trilema) mike_c: "Not the place for neither profanity nor a discussion on profanity."
(trilema) mike_c: any word on who the "regulators" are that will get those coins?
(trilema) mike_c: ;;seen pankkake
(trilema) mike_c: read the next line :)
(trilema) mike_c: just drink the fucking kool-aid already
(trilema) mike_c: 1) you need to be decently wot'd to contribute. 2) if you submit shit, you won't get in.
(trilema) mike_c: you all act like it's a free for all. like cazalla will accept any 5,000 word piece of shit
(trilema) mike_c: geezus. There are no infinite shares.
(trilema) mike_c: "infinite" != 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ...
(trilema) mike_c: the old crown. imagine how valuable an organ of the new crown will be.
(trilema) mike_c: WSJ makes a billion or two a year.
(trilema) mike_c: yes. there are stages. stage 1: provide better news than others. stage 2: build enough audience and capital to send people to ukraine. stage 3: profit.
(trilema) mike_c: why would we fly? we're readers, not reporters.
(trilema) mike_c: asciilifeform: major newspapers send reporters to syria to get captured. but not on day 1.
(trilema) mike_c: AOL dialup business has been producing diminishing returns for a decade and has been extremely valuable.
(trilema) mike_c: yes, they will expect diminishing returns. i don't understand why this is a problem.
(trilema) mike_c: like, owned by companies who must have ever increasing profits
(trilema) mike_c: then you don't believe that "mass media" is the problem, just the way it has been executed.
(trilema) mike_c: somebody who believes a better source of bitcoin news is a good idea?
(trilema) mike_c: um, then investing in qntra is not a good fit for you anyway
(trilema) mike_c: nobody despises the NYT because they run ads.
(trilema) mike_c: mining equipment companies pay for it
(trilema) mike_c: ethics schmethics. newspapers have been funded by ads from forever
(trilema) mike_c: as mentioned, bitcointalk is now making 40 btc a week on ads.
(trilema) mike_c: or selling direct ala bitbet
(trilema) mike_c: asciilifeform: one example, as given, is advertising revenue.
(trilema) mike_c: hehe. you think the bid was random?
(trilema) mike_c: like all of my articles, they are mostly for me anyway. but i think that one stands up. i didn't cheat either, i was surprised how close my guesstimate came to that bid on mpex.
(trilema) mike_c: well it does show you a methodology. if you don't like the assumptions, change 'em.
(trilema) mike_c: ThickAsThieves:being that you had to make up numbers AND timelines << hm, how else do you make investment decisions?
(trilema) mike_c: i still haven't identified the secret message.
(trilema) mike_c: you've done worse. i swear you posted a couple articles of gobbedly gook that had secret messages.
(trilema) mike_c: ok, i'll write it up.
(trilema) mike_c: another section of the paper that isn't news: classifieds! put the otc order book out of bizness and makes shareholders happy.
(trilema) mike_c: neither is the editorial section of the paper.
(trilema) mike_c: or perhaps tat wants to ignore certain categories (like commentary)
(trilema) mike_c: but if you have a core set of tags it is easy to have finance page, legal page, editorial page, etc. (this is what I would want, perhaps not widely desired).
(trilema) mike_c: additional tags of course don't hurt anything
(trilema) mike_c: cazalla: suggestion: pick a reasonable set of categories (8-10?) and apply to all articles. this would allow for sections and filtering.
(trilema) mike_c: !s from:peterl qntra
(trilema) mike_c: thickasthieves: you see peterl's article on it?
(trilema) mike_c: if you want to know all the stupid shit that is hapenning, not told to you by idiots, read qntra.
(trilema) mike_c: if you just want occassional useful articles, read blogs.b-a.
(trilema) mike_c: the lawsky title was a bit silly for my taste, but the content was useful to me. i'm glad i read what happenned.
(trilema) mike_c: not even any css
(trilema) mike_c: or a newspaper
(trilema) mike_c: they have categories. same difference.
(trilema) mike_c: bounce: in the lifestyles section? or the opinion page? or the comics page?
(trilema) mike_c: they dilute in a geometrically decreasing fashion
(trilema) mike_c: they don't constantly dilute
(trilema) mike_c: you don't have to like every article.
(trilema) mike_c: seems stylistically like a piece for the opinion page.
(trilema) mike_c: in favor of TLS. don't worry, that one is secure!
(trilema) mike_c: possibly unintentionally. i just mean that it is now going to be widely discarded instead of narrowly discarded.
(trilema) mike_c: so this is it, SSL is dead now. crazy.
(trilema) mike_c: not sure if this is part of fighting attack, but feed is returning 403. http://qntra.net/feed/
(trilema) mike_c: i got srsly weirded out there. went to qntra.net/feed/ and the btcalpha rss feed came up.
(trilema) mike_c: uh, qntra.net is resolving to localhost?
(trilema) mike_c: those guys must be really bored. get mp kicked off twitter! ddos qntra!
(trilema) mike_c: has the responsible party taken credit for the qntra harrassment?
(trilema) mike_c: that works too
(trilema) mike_c: how are you mitigating the attack? big ip ban lists?
(trilema) mike_c: devthedev: if popular it will be on here: http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/
(trilema) mike_c: he said he's sitting on coin now. i took that to mean long.
(trilema) mike_c: it's cached for 10 mins. not much use showing a list of dead links.
(trilema) mike_c: screwing up my news widget.
(trilema) mike_c: plus, they get -2 points for serving a 200 with some fucking blank page instead of a 50x.
(trilema) mike_c: i mean, a couple thousand hits a day shouldn't trigger any limits..
(trilema) mike_c: was the excessive usage from an attack?
(trilema) mike_c: thickasthieves: it exists if you run linux. i heard a rumor diana_coman compiled it on windows, but have not verified.
(trilema) mike_c: srsly. at least he stopped trading.
(trilema) mike_c: 472.76008500
(trilema) mike_c: raise was ~460
(trilema) mike_c: say it with me. "retail adoption doesn't mean shit"
(trilema) mike_c: hatemail is a poor motivator
(trilema) mike_c: bubble? we haven't even caught up to last bubble yet.
(trilema) mike_c: you shouldn't sell it anyway. tea leaves are all pointing up.
(trilema) mike_c: ;;calc 440 * [ticker --last]
(trilema) mike_c: ;;calc 440 * [ticker -last]
(trilema) mike_c: pre-orders!
(trilema) mike_c: hard to go to sleep after successful all-night gambling binge :)
(trilema) mike_c: tat you better go to sleep before you lose all your btc to the kiddies
(trilema) mike_c: cardano is last year's xmas gift
(trilema) mike_c: ah ascii, just wait til you have a 300k backlog of orders for cardano
(trilema) mike_c: so don't use it to take over the world. still seems useful as cloaking device.
(trilema) mike_c: that thing seems cool
(trilema) mike_c: ;;seen diana_coman
(trilema) mike_c: +1 tat. take your winnings and sleep.
(trilema) mike_c: heh. i haven't gotten into svg yet, seems worthwhile though.
(trilema) mike_c: mircea_popescu: what do you like about the graphs?
(trilema) mike_c: dunno. am researching now, usually a good idea before opening one's mouth.
(trilema) mike_c: aren't those IPS screens supposed to be the shit?
(trilema) mike_c: when is b-a going to list itself on mpex and pay shares based on line count?
(trilema) mike_c: can't argue with that.
(trilema) mike_c: [19:33] <ninjashogun> have you had a look at the logs? Usually it's barely legal porn and random derping.
(trilema) mike_c: how many times has he asked you for money?
(trilema) mike_c: upping ninjashogun is so masochistic.
(trilema) mike_c: ahh, peterl
(trilema) mike_c: who crappe don the logs this time?
(trilema) mike_c: you may not believe in astrology, but astrology believes in you.
(trilema) mike_c: bingo gets, what, 1.4 shares per word? not bad.
(trilema) mike_c: do i get a plaque with that?
(trilema) mike_c: you could buy from starving authors
(trilema) mike_c: text is broken up
(trilema) mike_c: depends how important quality is i guess. but a rough text is painful to read to me.
(trilema) mike_c: siri doesn't have to produce a readable text though, just understand the gist.
(trilema) mike_c: see the textification qntra did of the defense filing. all chopped up and stuff.
(trilema) mike_c: yes, but machines do a crappy job of voice/pdf -> text. maybe the turks are the ones who clean it up.
(trilema) mike_c: but you've got steady work, can find reliable people
(trilema) mike_c: <+mircea_popescu> you can't have people do this by hand forever. << that might be the easiest solution actually. set up some amazon mechanical turk automation.
(trilema) mike_c: kakobrekla: yeah for last 5 months.
(trilema) mike_c: decent profit margins?
(trilema) mike_c: it's like secondmarket, but different.
(trilema) mike_c: i linked it above the comment. << that link 404'd for me.
(trilema) mike_c: the name is hardly enough barry. where's the logo?
(trilema) mike_c: ;;seen diana_coman
(trilema) mike_c: he meant the play exchanges (nasdaq)
(trilema) mike_c: if we were cool enough it would just be one infintiely scrolling page.
(trilema) mike_c: I feel a little dirty. I'm getting more traffic from google now because I have a page for every bitbet. oops.
(trilema) mike_c: thickasthieves: the pdf is no better
(trilema) mike_c: hehe, i scooped the lawyers yesterday: "It apparently confuses php with MySQL"
(trilema) mike_c: on short term estimates, yeah. difficulty just cracked 250 phash tho
(trilema) mike_c: er, not exa
(trilema) mike_c: cracked 250 exahash. this is getting out of hand.
(trilema) mike_c: exciting!
(trilema) mike_c: i am really excited about this thing, i hope it keeps up. it would be so awesome if i never had to look at coindesk again.
(trilema) mike_c: look at that, i'm behind the times.
(trilema) mike_c: oh? cool.
(trilema) mike_c: i've actually been impressed that they've managed to keep from cursing while talking about VC's and such
(trilema) mike_c: oh :) yeah.
(trilema) mike_c: there is a need for good writers that know bitcoin.
(trilema) mike_c: probably can't curse as much as on the forums
(trilema) mike_c: when's hanbot going to start contributing?
(trilema) mike_c: <+cazalla> catching up on logs and ya know, everyone shits on how qntra looks << luckily that's about the 50th most important thing..
(trilema) mike_c: not if you buy bitcoin with your SS check
(trilema) mike_c: so go see a shrink?
(trilema) mike_c: ;;gettrust tapeke
(trilema) mike_c: ;;seen wyrdmantis
(trilema) mike_c: there was this woman around looking for work who was a writer, but i think she disappeared.
(trilema) mike_c: my once-a-month pace already strains my time for writing. i don't think i'm the right fit for a newsroom.
(trilema) mike_c: BingoBoingo: you're all over my homepage (again) http://www.btcalpha.com/
(trilema) mike_c: his time must be worth more given he just turned down a weekly video job.
(trilema) mike_c: not entirely legit. should be "ex-pat romanian".
(trilema) mike_c: last i heard we had hit moon and were aiming for mars. but i don't keep track.
(trilema) mike_c: really? i thought we were going back to moon now.
(trilema) mike_c: who knows. but A for effort, 3000 requests in a minute.
(trilema) mike_c: GET /gow//.\..\.\..\.\..\.\..\.\..\.\..\.\..\.\..\etc/passwd << does this shit actually still work on anyone?
(trilema) mike_c: yes, this is not kindergarten. unfortunately there still is no good bitcoin kindergarten.
(trilema) mike_c: <+mircea_popescu> i don';t giuve a shit what usefullness you see or don't see. << another contender for the b-a tagline :)
(trilema) mike_c: i bought a 4tb hdd for $190 the other day.
(trilema) mike_c: oh no, to be clear I am laughing at them.
(trilema) mike_c: they are just talking about phpmyadmin.
(trilema) mike_c: hopefully such a thing doesn't actually exist.
(trilema) mike_c: this is gov't derping from the filing.
(trilema) mike_c: "Silk Road’s reliance on PHP databases was readily observable from the website itself during the time of its operation"
(trilema) mike_c: no wonder it sucked
(trilema) mike_c: ooh, SR was using "php databases"
(trilema) mike_c: i am an early fan. needs more pics of casascius coins though.
(trilema) mike_c: any insight into where qntra traffic is coming from?
(trilema) mike_c: not for me gribble.

(trilema) mike_c: the div yield through the roof
(trilema) mike_c: since we got the lulztron back.. the RENT 3po closed yesterday selling shares for 75. today they are back at 40. quite a 1 day return.
(trilema) mike_c: no fees, just don't ask about the exchange rate.
(trilema) mike_c: i would be able to look at registry and see you prepped a few messages.
(trilema) mike_c: i want to prove that in july i said X, but with your method I may have prepped a few brainwallet messages and now be showing you one of them.
(trilema) mike_c: not so with deed registry
(trilema) mike_c: brainwallet method: you could prep 10 slightly different statements and pull out the most convenient one.
(trilema) mike_c: the utility is to be able to verify you said something specific in the past.
(trilema) mike_c: and for the record, moving sucks.
