pete_dushenski: decimation: 'pep rally' << been to a few of these myself. because morale! at least our school had the bestest cheerleaders in the city
gribble: The operation succeeded.
pete_dushenski: now there's a market: anonymous smartphone apps!
nubbins`: is grindr that app that lets you anonymously tell men you want to cum on their tits?
nubbins`: hey, this printer stopped mid-page with an out-of-ink warning. i fixed the problem, and it's picking up where it left off.
asciilifeform: nah 'tinder' should be an app where you sign up to burn on the stake.
pete_dushenski: mistaking them for learning institutions is how you end up 29 yo and single
asciilifeform: (other than a library)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: the interesting part of that thread was that, afaik, there isn't anywhere you can go in usa to study 'proper' chemistry
pete_dushenski: well 'prep' in the sense that if you can't memorize the bible in latin, med school will rape you
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: the students are asked to simply memorize the book of, e.g, organic reactions. << myeah. tis perfect med skool prep
pankkake: "One must always be aware that their fodder for arguments consists of internet memes and attempts at being witty" same goes for twitter, not that you could do anything else there
pete_dushenski: decimation: heh perhaps I should pick an orthogonal basis << there's always the ol' first_last!
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: and by too clean i mean the sort that doesn't bareback random whores because "who knows what may happen" << this point has me reflecting. am i scanning the world of business ideas for puuurfect? when non-broken will suffice? well fuck.

mircea_popescu: more like nude practicality. i cant keep up with the girls anyway, why make it worse.
mircea_popescu: people ridicule the every sperm is sacred doods, and i can see it
mircea_popescu: (also i dont recall the last time i jacked off)
mircea_popescu: as if that's not the exact and only cure.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` reminds me of the woman that claimed she can'tr fuck because migraine
mircea_popescu: this is the internet house of old people AND GIT OFF MA LAWNS
mircea_popescu: yeah who let the unretired in!
nubbins`: above the collar, sure
nubbins`: and they broke up two weeks after they released it, so there were only ~25 copies ever bought
usagi: You must really like these guys hehe
usagi: So for example he could then play the music in a venue that didn't purchase cover song licensing
usagi: I would imagine thats why he bought the rights

atcbot: [CoinMiner Hashrate]: 0.06 TH/s [PityThePool Hashrate]: 1356.06 GH/s [iSpace Pool Hashrate]: 1.68 TH/s
RagnarDanneskjol: once pools are setup, the backend control panel stuff is super simple to manage yourself
RagnarDanneskjol: they came highly recommended from the LA bitcoin regulars - heard of them a year ago and used them myself for a small test pool a ways back
RagnarDanneskjol: they can do p2pool or whatever you need
RagnarDanneskjol: Ok - I spoke to Mark with his charming british acent -they are a little backlogged, but can deliver pools in 36-48 hours, also offer cloud mining contracts. These guys are fukin pro.. Imma follow up with email to you guys w/ details. Worth giving them a call just to hear what they're up to.
RagnarDanneskjol: talkin - they picked right up
RagnarDanneskjol: BoingoBoingo - Im gonna call them right now to figure out their status (phone #s on the page)
nubbins`: or they're wearing crocs
RagnarDanneskjol: BoingoBoingo - they just switched to a new template for their page and clearly are off their game. I and several others have hired them in the past (going back over a year ago) and they deliver pools as described... I think they have p2pool also, but dont see listed
mircea_popescu: i can't tell these people apart. unless she starts writing her gpg fingerprint on her boobs nobody can tell her from eve.
chetty: well yeah its their problem but still not gonna get that job ...
chetty: <mircea_popescu> cnat even find someone to dump water on her head, figures someone gives a shit about her tits.//problem is of course that they do, at least next time she wants a job or smthn
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: From ther faq
assbot: imgur: the simple image sharer
nubbins`: ahhh i can't breathe
RagnarDanneskjol: I already suggested a few a while back when this discussion first took place. I will gather my list and get it all ready later today
nubbins`: where the guy drops a 50lb weight on his daughter's heads
mircea_popescu: her children will catch the gout.
mircea_popescu: god forbid the internet sees anon nipple or something, someone may care
mircea_popescu: nubbins` that first fucktard... jesus god she's bleeding from the tits
RagnarDanneskjol: i could point some hardwarev there myself to test later today
BingoBoingo: X-rob would have to explain what the not-quite optimal stuff is
BingoBoingo: Byt X-Rob explained there's some stuff this pool does that isn't optimal... so a replacement wouldn't be horrible down the line
BingoBoingo: And the p2pool type paying with the coinbase tx is very desirable, if it were replaced or needed to be replaced, that is a thing I'd like to see
BingoBoingo: It's just since ATC stalled out it was the only pool that was responsive to our rented hash
BingoBoingo: I mean the pool is much older than that
BingoBoingo: It was picked because it seemed to suck least for the purpose here, and getting paid in the coinbase tx makes it easy to verify payments
pankkake: I was mining but it was rejecting my submissions, or maybe just not registering them. I forgot
RagnarDanneskjol: google coinminer pool - first hit after the forum links straight to ATC pool - all the other coin tabs on top of that page lead me to dead links -I'm almost certain thats the only coin being mined there - unless I'm missing something

mircea_popescu: it actually found 12 blocks in the past ~16 hours, so like 100 days at the current rate.
Apocalyptic: <RagnarDanneskjol> maybe I'm missing something, how are there no txs // there are plenty
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol there are a few, just not so many, so it's a common joke.
RagnarDanneskjol: maybe I'm missing something, how are there no txs - thought it was being used for WoL
mircea_popescu: nobody is really developing for atc. pankkake helped with a bunch of stuff as i think the first guy with a clue to get involved.
pankkake: I changed a few values to make it like the coingen settings
RagnarDanneskjol: ha - pankkake - I don't really care about the webpage, thought you were developing for it - or is it just Thieves?

pankkake: for updating the web page you should contact ThickAsThieves
RagnarDanneskjol: pankkake I'm working on another blockexplorer for it, will send you email detailing shortly
Apocalyptic: I may have included the wallet size too
punkman: RagnarDanneskjol: there's like 3 transactions total, shouldn't be too big
RagnarDanneskjol: does anyone know the appx current size of ATC's blockchain (in GBs)? I know i could just look @ the blockcount & calculate, can't too late for maths

ryguy_`: without the internet, that is. i've been awake for far too long to make sense.
ryguy_`: thank god for the internet - i dont think i'd ever have come around to realize 'fiat = war machine' among all the other things without it or a patient individual to walk me though it
ryguy_`: yeah ive been coming around to that more and more at the ripe age of 30
ryguy_`: wish i had your skillset, man. or wish i put the effort in like you did, my dad and his grandfather we're both follower backoffice managers for wallstreet comapnies and growing up i thought financial markets were the most boring shit in the world until 2008 & bitcoin
ryguy_`: and the govt to eat shit - gonna be great
mircea_popescu: which in the end is what backs bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: this is fine, inasmuch as it has no ill effect and increases the general supply of lulz,
mircea_popescu: the sec got a 20k settlement for the former, and is pretending it got a settlement for the pair.
mircea_popescu: guy listed sd on mpex. about a year later, he claimed someone bought it and so it was delisted. mpex shareholders received a negotiated, fair compensation and it was the end of the matter.
ryguy_`: he conducted some other transaction and SEC claimed those shares were apart of that other transaction ?
mircea_popescu: this is so transparently ridiculous half the bureaucracy is laughing at them, leaving aside wall street and the people not actually involved in the us nuthouse.
mircea_popescu: ryguy_` short version : guy retired his mpex issue. sec desperately wanted to purchase some relevance, so they tied some blown glbse/twitter offering he had with the mpex offering, and pretended like they scored some sort of victory.
ryguy_`: anyway. bigtime respectable thing you guys got going on here. especially the trash talking which is just brilliant. and settling with the SEC, wth. i cant even really find any reading on that SEC issue though
ryguy_`: ok so yah im _quite_ familiar with bitcoin and things that take place on the blockchain

ryguy_`: its hard to discern what is or is not related to the fraud, or a byproduct of the fraud going on now a days. Im open to the argument that hft creates liquidity but how much liquidity does a market need, ya know
ryguy_`: i dont know much about the technicalities by way of how your service connects with btc but
ryguy_`: (minus the fraud)
ryguy_`: what kins of things do you guys see blockchain based equities/securities exchanges competing with eachother on in the future
ryguy_`: this asshole is running things with the kagans
ryguy_`: im over the geopolitics too
BingoBoingo: Well, the Fed was the best weapon for defeating the soviet union while turning into a worse soviet union
ryguy_`: i always give them an out with
ryguy_`: im over the system and how it works and stuck on trying to help decently smart people understand whats going on
ryguy_`: you are preaching to the choir
mircea_popescu: the same types that push for 0% taxation.
ryguy_`: instead of the sigma 6 circus we got now
ryguy_`: cant wait until the slaves (sheep) ((our friends and family)) want a transparent ledger equities market
ryguy_`: and snowden too, what a mindfuck. is it just a cia hit on the nsa for the budget ? who knows, who cares
ryguy_`: well just in general, you got these other news papers with their leak drop boxes. im sure plenty of them are run by handled individuals. feel sorry for the unsavvy leaker at the moment
mircea_popescu: i think they just randomly publish anything.
ryguy_`: cryptome says wikileaks was a intel agency job and assange is in the embassy collecting leaks on behalf of god knows who
ryguy_`: i dont trust the circlejerk psyops and stuff going on now though
ryguy_`: string together some openbsd boxes or grsec boxes and give it a go from afar in a 3rd world country
mircea_popescu: how they don't do anything useful and so on
mircea_popescu: let people vent and rage about how much their employer suck
ryguy_`: but it definitely falls in line with the saving of face thats being attempted
mircea_popescu: like, a "terrible company" clone for usg, especially the intel stuff...
ryguy_`: so i wanted to make a blog called painful squid and highlight all the retarded shit they've been doing
ryguy_`: are you talking about me or the link i pasted
mircea_popescu: the irony of the situation is that with enemies like these, btc really doesn't need any friends.
ryguy_`: anyway, yeah i'd rather be in a south american city screwing with btc but i got commitments like whats his face from the shining
mircea_popescu: i deal with pdfs exactly like i deal with the tim swansons of the world. "who asked you anything and what gives you the impression you have something to answer with."
mircea_popescu: also, can it quote stuff like the wot, bitcoin assets and so on ?
diana_coman: the posts are just for fun, lol
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: was this the first popular block explorer http://blockexplorer.com/ ? << popular no, but the first yes.
mircea_popescu: pankkake mebbe add that to the list ?
mircea_popescu: im possibly one of the very few people not regretting not having started mining "earlier"
BingoBoingo: I remember reading about Bitcoin those days, thinking one of these day's I'll grab a couple graphics cards. I wasn't thinking enough back then.
mircea_popescu: i ... remember these days.
BingoBoingo: Back in the days when terrahash was a network "goal" and Petahashes were crazy
BingoBoingo: lol I was thinking about that when I first rented a rig for ATC, that ~2 or 3 years ago there were times where all of Bitcoin's nethash was less than the rented rig's

asciilifeform: in historic overviews of seppuku, the thing that always caught my eye was the slow progression from honest full-out gut deposition to the late-meiji (and 20th c. - see herr mishima) token slice followed by 'kaishaku' beheading stroke.
mircea_popescu: well no. seppuku aims to open the large liver vein. apendectomy, oppositely, to not open it.
asciilifeform: auto-appendektomy - like seppuku but double the work.
mircea_popescu: Antibiotics were administered directly into the peritoneal cavity << holy shit fucking soviets.
mircea_popescu: as the period sort-of matches.
asciilifeform tried to dig out the paper re: psychoactives spotted in bartholin's gland secretions, fails to turn up - perhaps too sleepy
mircea_popescu: Duffer1: it was quite painful, and i refused pain meds until the ct scan results came back and the dr said "your appendix is all messed up, we're transfering you to a different hospital, ambulance is en route, take pain meds now" << there is this legendary romanian surgeon who supposedly sutured his own appendix. this may be apocryphal, in any sense i wouldn't try to undergo surgery w/o painkillers, tis nonsense.
mircea_popescu: have her breastfeed the dog, watch it meow.
asciilifeform: we're aaalmost there.
mircea_popescu: but so they're infertile and past the age of 16 or so, their breast tissue secretes copious lsd.
mircea_popescu: not necessarily so they're slut,
RagnarDanneskjol investigating further
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not that kind, the useful kind. merely the current kind, ie, the resistant thing.
asciilifeform: point of the 'roundup' thread being, if genetical engineering were presently 'a thing', there's be cocainatious mildew growing in your neighbour's bathtub, and colombia would be exporting llama stockings
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol: be moar vigilant with teh monies << the problem with that article, as with all "studies" of its ilk, is that it makes the (generally reasonable, now not) herbi mistake, as detailed here : http://trilema.com/2014/no-argument/
mircea_popescu: flown from where, the faulklands ?
mircea_popescu: what, from the 27 cubic meter satellitarian tanks ?
mircea_popescu: so people all over the intel community can laugh at you for yet another week, for yet another reason.
mircea_popescu: so you have to evacuate the whole shebang like crazed rabbits, and do a shit job of cleanup in the process
mircea_popescu: because if you give iraquis a ton of m16s they're not going to raid your embassy with them
asciilifeform: so they'll spray 'agent orange' - or napalm
mircea_popescu: if that goes away, the current usg-friendly columbia govt goes away.
mircea_popescu: maybe general whatshisname speaks the truth
mircea_popescu: well if the satellite was nothing but a pressurized xenon container, it may have somehow squeezed in.
mircea_popescu: the 3b did what, 3tons ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform was this put in orbit with the use of the russian's rockets or arianne ?
asciilifeform: afaik the world record holder was the american 'keyhole' series of machine - size of a bus.
mircea_popescu: well definitely no satelite the size of the washington monument was ever put in space.
RagnarDanneskjol: isnt the thrust energy needed to calculate this?

asciilifeform: he expects no impact to the satellites planned design life of 14 years.... he says. We put enough fuel onboard to pretty much fire those thrusters continuously. << 'folks who won't do arithmetic are doomed to talk nonsense' (j. mccarthy)
mircea_popescu: once one actually promotes cold callers and phone marketeers to govt positions, there are bound to be problems.
mircea_popescu: the effort failed.
mircea_popescu: bureaucrats looked at cost to fix problem vs try and get rid of him, miscalculated. tried the latter.
asciilifeform wasn't there
mircea_popescu: t find a briefcase, or paper for forms, or a currier or gas for the plane.
mircea_popescu: *: asciilifeform is still waiting for the first leak from the u.s. dept. of wherever-the-stoolie-reports-from-btc-exchanges go. << there was recently a dump of everyone-on-coinbase, for instance.

mircea_popescu: not to the degree.
asciilifeform: no - but there's buoyancy.
mircea_popescu: there's no magical gravity of water surface.,
