asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: re: vintage junk: Toshiba Libretto 110 cages very well.
asciilifeform: the size of vhs tape. no radios.
asciilifeform: eats a modern ATA SSD just fine.
BingoBoingo: Ascii Well, aesthetically it isn't optimal though. FOr the libretto cage has to go outside the factory case.
asciilifeform: ebay, ~100 usd.
asciilifeform: and where does yours go?
BingoBoingo: Inside the case.
asciilifeform: that Mac... has built-in CRT? cage has a 10" hole?
BingoBoingo: Well... Hope no one is listening from 178 degrees north...
BingoBoingo: Er... 358
asciilifeform: crt can be seen, from miles away, with 1970s tech.
BingoBoingo: Well, plaintext plus IRC means you feed the honeypot things it might find actionable
asciilifeform: must feed, yes.
BingoBoingo: Regardless of totality of truth. The best defense in some cases seems unreliable narration
asciilifeform: wouldn't do to have a back row seat in the gasenwagen, i always say.
BingoBoingo: Well, that's there the CO builds up because... Seriously a wood fired modern engine... Kind of want...
BingoBoingo: I don't think there's a serious solution to the CRT problem other than to stop reading text from the front of spotlights.

asciilifeform: whether or not this is true, their symbionts (spammers, hucksters, beggars of all stripes) are still there.
asciilifeform: and the thinking people... are elsewhere.
asciilifeform: forum death is permanent.

herbijudlestoids: so im on twitter and i see a /. article about romanian billionaire saving openbsd
herbijudlestoids: 'who is this guy?' i ask myself after i read the thing, and end up poking around on various things looking at his blog etc
herbijudlestoids: finally after clearing all the tabs i opened one was left and it was MPex itself
herbijudlestoids: click the tab, and damn if it isnt the exact same idea that i was just grappling with last night, fully implemented, in a 0-stylesheet HTML frontent
herbijudlestoids: so while i was struggling with the idea of how do you settle contracts like "BTCUSD Jun 14" in BTC legitimately, there is someone else who has already done it and thought of everything

herbijudlestoids: or collapsible skis that you screw together like a pool cue

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo lol cool.
BingoBoingo: It happens. The trick to social media and viral seems to be you just gotta beat Bayes.
mircea_popescu: i credit your recently.
herbijudlestoids: hi mircea, i was just on here a little while ago complaining about how postmodern the internet is, when i just discovered today you had fully implemented (MPex) the thing that i was thinking about doing last night lol
mircea_popescu: (i also choose to believe that the secret to both is to just not be doing it)
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids you might not believe this, but you're by no means the first person in your situation
mircea_popescu: you may be the first to actually tell me it rather than try anyway
herbijudlestoids: i actually came on here in the hopes that youd come on and keep me company while i sign up so i can buy shares
mircea_popescu: (and fail more or less miserably, painfully and expensively down the road)
herbijudlestoids: i consider myself to be not retarded but the instructions are intimidating
mircea_popescu: kinda deliberately. anyway, what's the problem ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, Bayes catches good grammar and style. Gotta learn from the spamzors.
herbijudlestoids: nothin, but now youre on im gonna start trying to sign up and hassle you if it fails
BingoBoingo: Then make it pretty for the eyes.
herbijudlestoids: the way i figure it, at least with this idea i can invest in it
herbijudlestoids: with my very small amount of BTC :P
mircea_popescu: lmao is this in reference to kako's phone ?
herbijudlestoids: but maybe if i like it i will convert some fiat
herbijudlestoids: i dunno who kako is
herbijudlestoids: if youwere talking to me
mircea_popescu: a ok. you stumbled on an old private joke.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: If you are buying securities on MPEX and justifying it on a dream I'd recommend the S.NSA. It has a savory Umami the S.MG lacks while still relying on some gamblin' to anticipate success.
herbijudlestoids: no i wanna invest in MPOE? isnt that the security for the exchange?
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Indeed it is.
herbijudlestoids: i swear, i know it sounds stupid but i had tihs exact idea last night
herbijudlestoids: and even the interface with 0 stylesheet
BingoBoingo: Try Coinbr.com if you can't afford to register your own key.
mircea_popescu: he just means it lists a number of assets. and here's your "small amount" reference : http://trilema.com/2013/jesus-you-guys-are-like-snark-bullion-already/
herbijudlestoids: well shit i dont even have 0.1BTC
herbijudlestoids: guess i better buy some
herbijudlestoids: now i gotta sign up a damn account with bitstamp or mtgox or something
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Do you have a sharpie?
mircea_popescu: what drives teh btc price in fiats ? ppl trying to get on mpex.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo lol dun be an asshole
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm trying to price it
herbijudlestoids: actually the btc price is undriven
BingoBoingo: YTou have to sample the inflation
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids how'd you figure that ?
herbijudlestoids: if it was a legit economy you could arb the exchanges
mircea_popescu: people have been arbing the exchanges since 2011
BingoBoingo: It ain't 10 BTC no more and prolly lower than the 0.25 last quoted here.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ahh, the lulzy days of a few years ago when people were importantly droning about how "you can't buy stuff!11"
BingoBoingo: Yeah mircea_popescu
BingoBoingo: Actually I think on trilema that post was almost, but not a whole year ago.
herbijudlestoids: if the price isnt within 0.01% then thats pretty poor for electronic exchanges, and anyway you can see when someone dumps liquidity dries up and the spreads go haywire
BingoBoingo: That was prolly MPOE's best PR.
herbijudlestoids: just my 2c
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Arbing BTC and Fiat has challenges that impart delays.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids contrary to what people thing, btc is very much the result of the aggregated thoughts of people. machines are abjectly voiceless.

BingoBoingo: Got a good climate for it if you rape the soil enough with the salt.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [MS] 50 @ 0.005 = 0.25 BTC
mircea_popescu: interesting.
mircea_popescu: so the poles could all be growing asparagus commercially and nobody ever told them ?
mircea_popescu: "Mircea Popescu is very nice person, thank you for saving OpenBSD. Now, why are some a-holes here bouthmouthing one person that did something to help OpenBSD's problem?! And jumping to conclusions and all. Jesus Christ that will teach any future milionares to sponsor FOSS."
mircea_popescu: as if future millionaires got there by listening to the comment scum.
ozbot: Poland becoming more interested in asparagus
mircea_popescu: what is this, the future ?!
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids a ok then
herbijudlestoids: asparaguscoin
herbijudlestoids: i always just append coin to whatever is in my head to make sure it isnt a brilliant idea that im mising out on
mircea_popescu: i hear that's what kids do in junior high, when they first hear the word cunt
mircea_popescu: carcunt. barcunt. stoolcunt. cunstool. cuntwind. cuntetcx.
punkman: cuntwaffles
herbijudlestoids: i already thought of cuntcoin or porncoin like 3 days ago
mircea_popescu: no, that's a legitimate product.
BingoBoingo: Honestly I'm kind of interest in starting an LLC to buy some land and grow some panax ginseng
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids you're so ahead of the curve :D
BingoBoingo: Nah, porncoin was last march
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo then if bottom falls out of ltc you can return 1897598568% to your investors.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: no dont you see how it works? as soon as i google it someone will have already got a project on github and $100,000 in funding from kickstarter
BingoBoingo: Cuntcoin I haven't heard of yet
herbijudlestoids: im bloody 27 days behind the curve
punkman: there's SexCoin or what it's called
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids 2.7 years but ok.
herbijudlestoids: oh shiz i misread march/month
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, the thing about panax ginseng is the scaricity is guaranteed. It is an endangered species.
BingoBoingo: Almost as good as Kidney coins
herbijudlestoids: i got a better one than that
mircea_popescu: i doubt you can be something economically useful with an endangered species in the us and not end up with a media and perhaps courthouse circus on your hands
herbijudlestoids: get some crappy land, land which is cheap because its crappy
herbijudlestoids: and then grow hemp
herbijudlestoids: in like china or iran
herbijudlestoids: where its legal
herbijudlestoids: and then make hemp bricks which absorb carbon
mircea_popescu: and other people who speak the language have all sorts of advantages over you
herbijudlestoids: and sell those carbon bricks on the carbon offsets market in europe
mircea_popescu: like already owning the local harems
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: US want's that slanty China money though. I thought I linked a trashy reality TV show on the subject here this weekend.
herbijudlestoids: well i speak the local language in iran :)
mircea_popescu: yu do ?!
mircea_popescu: http://mpex.co/faq_pe.html << does this read human to you ?
ozbot: MPEx FAQ.
herbijudlestoids: im iranian by nationality, living in oz
mircea_popescu: "Not only a criminal but also a attention whore, pervert and a sociopath. All the coin this criminal has are stolen one way or another."
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: How do we know you aren't the resurection of TradeFortress. Imma need two corpses for you to prove this claim.
mircea_popescu: "this successful guy is all the bad things!!11 please make it stop!!1"
herbijudlestoids: i dunno even who that is
herbijudlestoids: i told you
herbijudlestoids: i came on here, by complete chance from seeing the openbsd thing on twitter
herbijudlestoids: and only because of the criminal comment and then i saw MPex was exactly what i was thinking of last inght
herbijudlestoids: so basically i came here to complain about the postmodernism of the internet and buy shares
herbijudlestoids: (because if you cant beat em join em)
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: You are starting good. Just read some history. Learn the past scammers and what they did. Then don't do that unless you leik dicks int he night.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: my reading/writing farsi not so good
herbijudlestoids: who translated this?
BingoBoingo: Maybe if you want to endear yourself to some people here herbijudlestoids learn you some lisp
mircea_popescu: some contractor guy
herbijudlestoids: lol at my last job our dev guy was obsessed with lisp
herbijudlestoids: he fucking rewrote the openstack client libs in lisp
herbijudlestoids: and now hes the sole maintainer of the openstack lisp client lol
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo actually, the one thing one chick could do to completely take over
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: His reasons were probably good and just
mircea_popescu: would be to do a hacking lisp nude blog.
herbijudlestoids: im just a lowly ops guys
herbijudlestoids: building teh openstack cloudz
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The problem would be making it a Lisp acceptable to asciilifeform
BingoBoingo: He seems picky
mircea_popescu: from what i've seen most lisp people are tolerant folk.
herbijudlestoids: ps: does anyone need an openstack cloud? :P
herbijudlestoids: especially object storage is my forte
BingoBoingo: Well, clojure and arc et al start holy wars
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: You want inbound links with great google juice?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well just because the anonderps are at each other;s throats does not necessarily imply openbsd and freebsd have free-for-all wrestling matches in the dev cubicles.
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: not sure what that means? is that google fiber? here in australia we are still banging two rocks together to start fires for smoke signals
BingoBoingo: Nah, openBSD rapes FreeBSD lovingly. Seriously I know they work for different purposes.
mircea_popescu: "Wouldn't it be more practical to replace a VAX with an R-Pi or BBB?"
herbijudlestoids: i was thinking last night that if someone ported pfsense to openbsd that would be it, openbsd would take over
mircea_popescu: these ppls...
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids so port it.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: pfsense was made on OpenBSD
herbijudlestoids: i looked at the code last night on github
herbijudlestoids: i thought it was ported from monowall which is freebsd?
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: there is no rpi build for openbsd :(
herbijudlestoids: because according to the devs its not open enough. theyve got beagleboard port tho
herbijudlestoids: which is good
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If only these people knew I only want open BSD so I won't have to run A/UX when I replace the cooked Mac SE/30
KRS-: wow monowall.
herbijudlestoids: "The pfSense project started in 2004 as a fork of the m0n0wall project by Chris Buechler and Scott Ullrich"
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Anything Rpi can do used coldfire boards can do better
mircea_popescu: "Seriously, you people are nuts. Bitcoin was bad enough, now any half-wit with a web browser can go create "currencies".
mircea_popescu: It's going to be hilarious seeing the inevitable fall and a bunch of dumbfounded dipshits standing around saying "whu happened?!""
mircea_popescu: this will be nice for teh record later on :D
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: got a link to somewhere i can see prices?
KRS-: m0n0wall..brought back some memories for me
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Just ebay shit like everyone else does
herbijudlestoids: it was freebsd right?
herbijudlestoids: dude i live in australia! we are in the stone age
herbijudlestoids: if it costs $50 for the board ill have to pay $80 postage
BingoBoingo: Fine, in the interest of equal coverage in the fucking media https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Theo_de_Raadt#Starting_the_OpenBSD_Project
herbijudlestoids: when i search coldfire on ebay.com.au the only items are in categories: Musical Instruments, Books/Magazines, Collectables
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Maybe don't live in the desert with the Abbos and the spiders and the Dingos?
herbijudlestoids: i live in the temperate southeast coastline
KRS-: yeah freebsd
herbijudlestoids: thats what i thought, BingoBoingo pfsense was not on openbsd!
KRS-: i was talking about m0n0wall-
herbijudlestoids: yeah and pfsense is a fork of m0n0wall
KRS-: .bait
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Wait, you are waiting for me to spin a reliable narrative?
KRS-: fapfap
BingoBoingo: That shit costs money or rep
herbijudlestoids: nah all good
mircea_popescu: lol good sauce of drama there. i had no idea bsd community is so vocal.
mircea_popescu: makes the recently failed urbit thing kinda tame by comparison
mircea_popescu: or was it urbix
KRS-: see you gnts later- BingoBoingo gj on slashdot
BingoBoingo: I thought is was Stan's Loper--
BingoBoingo: Thx KRS-
mircea_popescu: wait wut ?
BingoBoingo: Ubit was like loper--, built on Unix and x86 eventually pissing stan off to no end
mircea_popescu: i didn't know loper actually exists enough to piss stan off
herbijudlestoids: well, i have to go to bed early tonight so i guess im gonna /quit. nice to meet you strange people and thanks for donating to save openbsd mircea_popescu that was a very nice thing to do
BingoBoingo: Well, stan seems to have hinted far enough back that he has sufficient tools that that some actual loper may be close enough the feeble imitations of others would anger and/or disappoint him
BingoBoingo: Fuck... As someone with log files to a site that has been target before. Slashdot totally dwarfs reddit.
mircea_popescu: "Ah, the irony of OpenBSD paying for its computers racking up a huge electricity bill using money made by computers racking up huge electricity bills."
simlay: mircea_popescu: I read that article and it brought me here.
mircea_popescu: a hello.
simlay: Mostly just out of curiosity. I have little to add.
BingoBoingo: I like how WOT can make IRC logs news
BingoBoingo: simlay: This is where the news was made
BingoBoingo: Anything you hear in any other channel is probably olds rather than new.
mircea_popescu: not like everyone needs their news instantly.
simlay: BingoBoingo: "Was made"? It's past tense?
BingoBoingo: simlay: Well... In this story yeah. If the story that got you here is the one I'm thinking of.
BingoBoingo: I prolly wrote the blog post and I totally drug ass on that.
mircea_popescu: o hey, i just realised
mircea_popescu: your blog is like what, 3 months old ?
mircea_popescu: prolly a record for a 3month old blog to be first page on everything
simlay: Seems like a good place to hangout no less.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well that last one was its 100th post
BingoBoingo: Started near the end od Spetember I think
mircea_popescu: "the asset i built on #bitcoin-assets". could be like a calendar next year.
BingoBoingo: I've actually gotten less consistent as it got older
BingoBoingo: So... anyways Slashot in the past six hours has delivered at least two orders of magnitude more traffic to the blog than Paul Graham's shit pit which is a true Ohio of tech news.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You know last year around this time when BitBet was the first parimutuel betting site in BTC with an open database I had IRL friends referring to you as the bitking
BingoBoingo: I like the isolated Dogecoin post in the slashdot mic

BingoBoingo: I guess I can finally tomorrow night write the post I've always wanted to.
BingoBoingo: About Tillikum the great freedom fighter an imminent threat to humanity.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've had the IRL people refering to you as the BitKing because it helps impart a sense of scale. And helps enforce the idea that the only meaningful policy decision Obama could make would be to legalize the weed. Which would help Obama by making him less a hypocrit, but won't help Serena Williams get past Halep in the French Open.
BingoBoingo: I should have bet way more money against Serena Saturday.
BingoBoingo: At +915 I should have went 5 BTC agaist Serena trying to break the book as opposed to the 5 ten thousandths of a BTC I actually bet, but...
BingoBoingo: Pricing risk is hard.
BingoBoingo: Pricing risk is also totally not finance.
BingoBoingo: (If gambling was finance it would start allocating resources to building a more appreciative body for the remains of Halep's tits)

KRS1: imp the fruits of the open source efforts was derpy

Diablo-D3: I wish ZoL would add encryption
Diablo-D3: even if its not compatible with oracle's impl
pankkake: it's not on freebsd either right?
Diablo-D3: because I simply dont give a fuck about oracle's impl, its no longer compatible with zfs
Diablo-D3: zfs is more than just code, its a standardization
Diablo-D3: oracle refuses to add to the spec their changes
Diablo-D3: so they've been locked out of zfs development

Diablo-D3: the one that was jointly started by ZoL, fbsd zfs, and illumos
pankkake: so not so much duplicated work
Diablo-D3: exactly, and also for compatibility
Diablo-D3: only solaris is no longer compatible with zfs
decimation: Diablo, is there a relationship between those people and the btrfs people?
pankkake: haha
Diablo-D3: which is ironic seeing as zfs started on solaris
Diablo-D3: decimation: no.
Diablo-D3: decimation: btrfs was started by oracle to kill zfs
Diablo-D3: but then oracle bought sun
Diablo-D3: and tried to merge the btrfs and zfs teams
pankkake: "sun had a political model like somalia"
Diablo-D3: and failed
Diablo-D3: oracle has an internal solaris version that can natively boot btrfs and supports all the solarisy zfs shit on btrfs
Diablo-D3: like, solaris containers running on a btrfs snapshot, etc
Diablo-D3: and can live convert low complexity zfs (ie, no features btrfs doesnt support) pools to btrfs
Diablo-D3: they never released it to public
Diablo-D3: and all their btrfs people left to other companies

decimation: speaking of the ruination that fiat finance brings to everything, here's Philip Greenspun on prices back in in the 1890's
mircea_popescu: a point not nearly made often enough.
ozbot: Philip Greenspun's Weblog » Prices back in the old days
decimation: ?In 1890, professors salaries [at Amherst College] were $ 2,500, more than twenty times tuition. The step up from laborer to professor was immense, for the average wage earner in 1890 earned $425 a year. ?
mircea_popescu: yes. obvious stuff like "the us was made great BY inequality and was rendered pitiful BY equality"
decimation: Hugh Hendry has made the point that China is screwed because its industrialization is taking place under a fiat regime, wheras the US was industrialized under a more-or-less gold standard
decimation: His thesis is that this has led to massive overproduction by China to game the large aggregate economic figures
mircea_popescu: there is definitely some truth to that
mircea_popescu: and perhaps merit to the fiat corruption theory.
mircea_popescu: ie, you can never get rich under a fiat system, all you can do is become poor. it's at least the consensus of pre-fiat economists everywhere.

pankkake: https://linuxfr.org/users/thom/journaux/nourrir-les-vaches-openbsd-a-recu-des-fonds was mostly about how bitcoin isn't money and how it's bad to make money with money
mircea_popescu: decimation that'd depend. i'm not a us citizen, so perhaps is like asking me if i'm a christian democrat
mircea_popescu: pankkake so logically, if bitcoin isn't money and it's bad to make money with money, then bitcoin is good ?
pankkake: that wasn't in the same argument, but well
decimation: Yeah. In the US, "libertarian" means "someone who doesn't vote for either Democrats or Republicans."
mircea_popescu: well that'd be me then, i never voted.
mircea_popescu: pankkake i kinda liked the guy with the "funny how openbsd elec bill is paid by the result of bitcoin mining"

mircea_popescu: i don't know there's any coo willing to work at yahoo, unless you end up taking twitter experts or something
knotwork: I think I might finally have a usable idea for something to float as an asset.
mircea_popescu: blow us away.
decimation: I wonder how many people automatically invest in Yahoo every week by virtue of their listing on the S&P 500
knotwork: For half a million Canadian or less I can get an ex military base with full backup power and surveillance and electric alarms fence and keypad operated gates and 60ft or so sattelite dish (the kind inside a geodesic dome with tracking engines etc to track a satelite)
benkay: (or less!)
knotwork: four crew quarters for live in crew, full raised floors etc etc for all computer rooms, and on and on like that
knotwork: Or less, yes. I was supposed to sell for 500k CAD but financing of the buyer fell through
asciilifeform: knotwork: why so cheap? arctic circle?
decimation: sounds like an ideal evil lair
quellhorst: mircea_popescu: you sell the damn company
knotwork: Near Wentworth in Nova Scotia, ex NATO site
quellhorst: she doesn't hire anyone
quellhorst: but of course she won't do that, she thinks she can make a better google
knotwork: Only 4.5 acres not like an army base wit barracks
quellhorst: she basically got demoted at google before the yahoo job
mircea_popescu: decimation the acid drip
knotwork: It does sound like an idea evil lair thats why I thought it might be worth looking into going in with some people to get it
asciilifeform: these are sometimes sold in the u.s., but are typically gutted when put on the market.
asciilifeform: nothing in the old missile shafts really works correctly
decimation: It might be an old Nike site
knotwork: this is not gutted, the generators all work the survellance all works the gates etc etc
mircea_popescu: knotwork well yes but have you ever run a dc before ?
knotwork: I thought the bitcoins in sapce project could maybe transmit to its sattelite from there for example
the20year1: knotwork: where in canada? How much land?
knotwork: I ran an ISP here in Halifax
the20year1: guess if i would have read through i could of found my answers
knotwork: Its the sattelite dish and the huge ackaup power room with all the knobs and dials and such i am not so sure how to operate
mircea_popescu: well turn them all one at a time :D
knotwork: I was thinmking it could offer hosting for miners for example as one use for it. I'd want to put solar panels all over it and windmills its in mountainous area (there is ski-ing up in that part of Nova Scotia thought not year-round at least not with natural snow) so should be good for wind
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 2 @ 0.69 = 1.38 BTC [+]
knotwork: So I figured one would want to spend at least as much fillign it with miners or whatever as one spends on buying the facility itself

knotwork: or if they have maybe its too lowball
mircea_popescu: o, it's not like a state auction ?
knotwork: Presumably not an auction no. It cost 8million to build in 1983 so maybe it was auctioned and the buyer who bid the half mill financing fell through
knotwork: mircea I can give you confidentially the full brochure URLs but I dont want to give that to snipers they might have gleaned enough info already to snipe it
the20year1: sounds fun
the20year1: although i don't know how you could cashflow or make money off it
knotwork: Personally half a mill is too large a percent of my wealth to want to blow it all on one investment especially since I except bitcoins will appreciate faster than it will
the20year1: I'd rather continue to buy mid-ohio dumps
mircea_popescu: well they're not useful to me, i don't much care for real estate and i know nothing at all of that market.
mircea_popescu: maybe one of the miners/pools/asic producers is looking for space.
knotwork: see someone found the site already yes the folly lake site is for sale
the20year1: i've got a backup bid on a nice property here that was at auction Saturday - 2br 1ba , two, two car garages, $16k
knotwork: oh it says the dish is 45 ft the seller must have meant the geodesic it is in is the 60 ft
knotwork: the whole main building is mil spec radio-shielded

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 100 @ 0.0068 = 0.68 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: mining via satellite uplink is hella expensive.
benkay: most are more interested in profit margins than emotional siting
knotwork: the sattelite dish is a conundrum what to do with, yes. Maybe just sell that off and use the geodesic for something else
benkay: .bait
knotwork: unless bitcoins in space could find use for it
benkay: .bait
Duffer1: why would you sell the dish that's the best part
nubbins`: where's wentworth located in NS?
Duffer1: it's not a supervillain layer without it

asciilifeform: you don't need a princely mil-sup estate for a radio station, though.

knotwork: Running a DC is something I can do, its just an ISP writ large
nubbins`: i've already got enough experience to keep me busy without owning something in another country ;p
mircea_popescu: i mean all through late 2000s average folk figured they're in real estate, "honey the house made more than i did this week",

mircea_popescu: knotwork then perhaps the right move is to partner with a bank, take a loan at a decent rate if possible, pad your costs and buy extra miners.
mircea_popescu: KRS1 this is the time of day the delivery boys are fucking the pizzaiolo gals.
knotwork: Yeah maybe the best way is to figure princely estates are not intended to be investments, so go for a mortgage instead of making it an investment corp of any type
mircea_popescu: right in the dough!
knotwork: no bank will give me a mortgage, they dont count bitcoins as collateral
mircea_popescu: knotwork if you wish to run the dc then you definitely want to bring a real estate/finance type on your team.
mircea_popescu: but the purchase itself can be collateralized.
knotwork: I could lock up 500+ bitcoins as collateral
KRS1: mircea_popescu: i live in south florida, where many consider ground zero for the banking/real estate fuck. I can tell you some horror stories. One scenario I like is the guy who makes $35K a year who bought a $350K house who now lives in a slum apartment with ruined credit.
knotwork: 600+
knotwork: whatever
mircea_popescu: if you're thinking of such deals then you must have the credit and connections already which'd allow you to pick up a mil or two on something under 5% a year on the basis of you putting up a quarter of the cost or less in cash.

mircea_popescu: KRS1 i can top that : all through the late 2000s, a coupla banks here sold suckers house loans denominated in swiss francs, on the premise they were ~1% cheaper interest. this, after fees and all, amounted to maybe 500 bucks saved.
mircea_popescu: then the franc went up 2x.
knotwork: well the model that is causing me to not want to spend that many bitcoins this soon is I expect half a mill worth of today bitcoins to be five mill quite soon, likely sooner than many folk expect
asciilifeform: what goes in #2, in the canonical 2) ??? 3) profit!
mircea_popescu: knotwork if that's the entire plan you seem better off laying out some btc on the 10k bet than buying ex-military facilities.
nubbins`: heh, ^
knotwork: right now I am making more just doing stupid filling of orderbooks with lowballs buy offers and highball sell offers than anything else I have been doing

ozbot: BitBet - 1BTC >= $10,000 USD
KRS1: I truely believe in Dariwnism at work in finance.

decimation: if bitcoin is still on an upward climb, than it's probably better to hold
knotwork: I am not convinced the place will still be available by the time that bet is settled
decimation: that's exactly the kind of reason not to get into an investment
knotwork: I want the place when I have more bitcoins than I have right now but by then it might not still be available, basically
mircea_popescu: so who cares, basically ?
mircea_popescu: by the time you have more bitcoin you can buy a larger place
decimation: what if divest a few hundred btc and now have an ex-military dump?
mircea_popescu: does it have to be this one ?
knotwork: <decimation> that's exactly the kind of reason not to get into an investment --> that is why my thinking changed since arriving here from get investors to its a princely estate not an investment I just dont want to let go that many bitcoins this soon

the20year1: The increase in btc value certainly doesn't help me too much
mircea_popescu: well, let's put it this way : canada is running on a deficit. eventually the whole shebang will go up on auction.
dub: buy your own island in panama for less
knotwork: its also true that if bitcoins skyrockets a lot I wont care if a place is a steal or not I will just pay high to get what I want "at any price" kind of thing

dub: can't fault that stoner logic
mircea_popescu: does weed give you sea sickness in the desert to even things out ?
decimation: He said Intel lost a great marketing opportunity when he was being chased through the jungles of Central America. Instead of shying away from the McAfee name, Intel should have leveraged press about his misadventures and taken a more edgy approach.

the20year1: Our local power co-op did all the work to do broadband over lines...they're the only one that uses it
asciilifeform: (not to be confused with data-over-powerline)
asciilifeform: at least, around here the meters use 'gsm'
asciilifeform: just an example of 'clean isp'
asciilifeform: (and now that we said it, it cannot be used.)
the20year1: i think they ended up figuring like $25/mo for 768kbps for a residential user
asciilifeform: this is like those 'how to hide from customs' books.
asciilifeform: if read literally, it can only be a guide for what not to do.
decimation: I thought the smart meters used some kind of mesh network
knotwork: of course in the old days we lived in shoeboxes in the middle of the gutters
asciilifeform: not here. just cell grid.
kakobrekla: shoebox? you were lucky.
dub: luxury
knotwork: mircea_popescu, how/where do you host MPOE? how many techies guards gosh knows what have access to the hardware?
mircea_popescu: "Vice accidentally gave away his location at a Guatemalan resort in early December 2012, when a photo taken by one of its journalists accompanying McAfee was posted with the Exif geolocation metadata still attached." cute.
knotwork: do you keep the private keys at your own site and all the third party places have to call home any time something needing the key happens?
decimation: supposedly McAfee was disguised, but then wen to talk with the media
dub: he has an army of amazonian bbw's guarding his shit
ozbot: John McAfee 'disguised as Guatemalan street hawker with a limp' - Telegraph
mircea_popescu: "Everything I owned was in Belize. I left with nothing in my pocket," he said.
mircea_popescu: seems improbable.
mircea_popescu: the bbw amazons i mean.
mircea_popescu: besides, he's working on biopics. that's a sure sign of desperation.
KRS1: wow pizza here already
KRS1: I'm gonna call them, they told me it would be 1-2 hrs damnit.
mircea_popescu: http://25.media.tumblr.com/9d9bae8644c0a20469c55d8e3abb5df7/tumblr_mnwjpdMA1q1rjvhtio1_500.jpg << in case you ever wondered how the french made all those metal fence patterns
KRS1: those girls can be lots of fun
kakobrekla: well, they certanly are lots of something.
kakobrekla: the boobs are odd.
KRS1: shes not bad..bbw goes downhill from there.
mircea_popescu: could do with more muscle.

ozbot: Judge to decide if Kenny Green broke bail - Newfoundland & Labrador - CBC News
nubbins`: guy gets out on bail, condition is not to enter a licensed drinking establishment
nubbins`: is arrested exiting a jungle-themed family restaurant that happens to serve booze
mircea_popescu: how would someone know what's a licensed pub ?
mircea_popescu: i could license my garage if i wanted.
nubbins`: well, exactly
nubbins`: anyway, the murder this guy is accused of committing took place about 50 meters southeast of my house
nubbins`: the victim's grave was dug up a couple of days after burial
nubbins`: and this kenny green guy was accused of trying to break out of the psych hospital while being held there for some sort of examination
dub: some next level retardation in #dogecoin
mircea_popescu: maybne they only had tequilla and it's not agreeing with him
nubbins`: some blue colors in the sky

nubbins`: to the aooooooooooooooon
mircea_popescu: "i had sex with urmom and she was saying all along, doge! upupup!" ?
knotwork: There was some guy in the investments section of bitcointalk (also probably known as the greater fool section) who wanted to do a whole ten million USD datacentre with solar and such I cant recall who that was
mircea_popescu: you don't mean in like early 2012 ?!
knotwork: maybe yeah
knotwork: he mismanaged the shares thing and mybe also got screwed when that Irish guy's "exchange" flew by night
mircea_popescu: you mean like... dmc ?
knotwork: I think his nick was longer than that? not death and taxes but thats who I always tended to confuse him with
mircea_popescu: i don't know dt ever did mismanage anything.
knotwork: yeah exactly
mircea_popescu: it'd be Diablo-D3, teh glbse asset was dmc
knotwork: but I think death and taxes nick was what kept the other guys nick from sticking in my long term memory
knotwork: Diablo yes that it no idea what I'd confuse that with death, maybe its a death and the devil thing
nubbins`: ;;seen Diablo-D3
gribble: Diablo-D3 was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 hours, 31 minutes, and 27 seconds ago: <Diablo-D3> and all their btrfs people left to other companies
nubbins`: datacentre with solar
knotwork: oh good maybe he wont read the backscroll and will turn out to be a great fool :D
knotwork: greater
knotwork: I thought maybe I'd found just what he was looking for but at a cheaper price
knotwork: and in proobably decent place for wind power
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 3 @ 0.68596666 = 2.0579 BTC [+] {3}
knotwork: maybe even water though it doesnt mention any brooks etc in the stuff I have read about the place
knotwork: but it is said to be in mountain area
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure you need a permit to dam running water, even in canada.
mircea_popescu: possibly not for wind, but i'd check if i were you.
knotwork: I wasnt thinking of a dam but even just a little thing you sink into the water might be all kinds of regulation apparently yeah
Diablo-D3: who'd what be me?
Diablo-D3: someone rang?
Diablo-D3: knotwork:
knotwork: some guy on bitcointalk has pics of a tiny little trickly he gets power from
mircea_popescu: what, you building the first ever megawatt yoyo ?
nubbins`: re: permits, generally that would be a provincial responsibility, not federal
knotwork: Yeah Diablo I saw a piece of real estate I thought might be great for the kind of data centre you once wanted to do
Diablo-D3: [11:13:26] <knotwork> There was some guy in the investments section of bitcointalk (also probably known as the greater fool section) who wanted to do a whole ten million USD datacentre with solar and such I cant recall who that was
Diablo-D3: that'd be me
Diablo-D3: I'm funding this shit myself now
Diablo-D3: I gave up on bitcoin funding
Diablo-D3: its a fucking peanut gallery in there
Diablo-D3: a bunch of fuckwits that know nothing about running a company
Diablo-D3: so I shut down DMC and just went my own way
knotwork: still want to do a datacentre though? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_Satellite_Ground_Terminal_Folly_Lake 500k CAD or less
Duffer1: heh i was just gonna say..
Duffer1: millspec base in bumfuck canada perfect for a data center
Duffer1: or supervillain lair
mircea_popescu: or bdsm chateau
mircea_popescu: or really cool icecream factory
Diablo-D3: Duffer1: I wanna stay in the US
Duffer1: too cold for bdsm probably
mircea_popescu: you must be new
Diablo-D3: Duffer1: we have a few abandoned military bases in northern US including maine btw
knotwork: Not with all the heat the mining gear gives off
Diablo-D3: sometimes they come up for auction
mircea_popescu: the girls are warm, the canes are there to beat...
knotwork: (not too cold for whatever)
knotwork: maybe cold enough to cool the gear in winter. maybe.
knotwork: I have fans sucking in outside area in my room here in snowstorm and its still plenty warm in here
knotwork: outside air
Diablo-D3: knotwork: I ended up starting a dedicated server hosting company for a quarter of a million
Diablo-D3: if I grow it right, I'll be able to afford the datacenter I want
nubbins`: wow, wentworth really is bumfuck canada
knotwork: what kind of facility and do you rent/lease or own the land?
Diablo-D3: leasing racks.
knotwork: yikes so third party hosting
knotwork: for me a MAJOR part of wanting my own datacentre is I dont want to refer to keys that are on third party land as "private" keys as for all I know they are not.
knotwork: They are the third party's keys that they maybe let me use but aren't really mine any way not privately anyway
Diablo-D3: knotwork: its second party.
Diablo-D3: Im getting the racks directly from someone leasing directly from the building owner.
Diablo-D3: not a reseller further down the line
knotwork: and this someone is part of th corporate "you" ?

Diablo-D3: but what Im saying is
Diablo-D3: the farther you go down the chain, the more you get fucked with
knotwork: right
mircea_popescu: you know sooner or later you will have to take employees.
Diablo-D3: if the NSA is going to spy on me or my customers
Diablo-D3: they're already doing it.
knotwork: one problem really with the military base idea is it would need a guard or groundskeeper etc
Diablo-D3: knotwork: well no
knotwork: though I could lock them out of the actual datacentre part maybe
Diablo-D3: it'd require no more physical security than an actual datacenter.
Diablo-D3: if you're not aware of how datacenter security works, go research that
knotwork: I coudl maybe put the keys in a machine in a vault or something
Diablo-D3: you're worried about private keys?
Diablo-D3: you cant secure them.
Diablo-D3: period.
Diablo-D3: unless the machine is on you at all times and already secure, there is no such thing as a secure private key
Diablo-D3: the only machine that can be on you at all times is a cell phone. cell phones are not secure.
KRS1: at all
knotwork: Maybe right in a city next to a police station could be more secure than out in the middle of no-where with gosh knows how long an RCMP response-time
knotwork: See this place is a great resource for discovering whether one is oneself a great(er) fool.
KRS1: Just buy a ship. Done. imo choose the caterpillar diesel engines option..well worth it.

Namworld: With giant laser cannon directed at the "ants" (people) on earth? So you can direct them around or randomly blast them?
KRS1: Namworld you could have tons of fun with that..it would never get old.
kakobrekla: not if a rock made of unobtainium hits you
knotwork: Well first I will just get my 400 amps into my country-house I might feel a lot less stir-crazy cabin-fever starved for outlets to plug machines into then
KRS1: ah shit i didnt think of that =/
Namworld: If that happen I can rebuild it mad an indestructible unobtainium shielding.

KRS1: i'm sorry i gotta step away for this
knotwork: Well maybe a movie. Involving an evil lair
knotwork: Or figure out the cost of just the land, subtract the cost of removing the buildings etc etc and make crazy lowball offer to see how eager the seller is to sell
knotwork: offer to take it off his hands for a nominal dollar to save him the cost of demolition
the20year1: what i'd do is just start off with a lowball figure, bring it up $10k or so every few weeks
knotwork: maybe it will afterall still be available in november when bitcoin is $10,000 (i guess I was wrong about how long people think that might take to reach) and it will be cheaper then too as their desperation increases
the20year1: i'd be estatic if it reached 1-
the20year1: 10k then :D
knotwork: I think even when it reaches only $2000 or $2500 or so I would start wanting to hive off 500k CAD or so worth into something other than cryptocoins
knotwork: even though anything other than cryptocoins would likely appreciate much slower
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [CBTC] 2000 @ 0.00009021 = 0.1804 BTC [-] {4}
knotwork: but land can be appreciated in other ways than by looking how much money it is worth
the20year1: you could buy some rentalstarter :D
kakobrekla: hedge bitcoin, buy bunker
knotwork: one can walk it, live on it build lairs on it etc
kakobrekla: makes sense.
knotwork: if I could use 500 or 600 bitcoins as collateral for a mortgage/loan I might go for it all by mtself
knotwork: but that is a non-starter
Duffer1: 500btc ?
the20year1: i don't see why not
knotwork: because anyone who believes bitcoin is good as collateral isnt going to want to issue a fiat denominated loan
knotwork: and I wouldnt want a bitcoin-denominated one that would be crazy
the20year1: why not a fiat denominated one?
the20year1: BTC>USD , get a cashout refi , then put that back into bitcoin
knotwork: who would issue a 500k CAD loan based on bitcoin collateral?
the20year1: *if* loans are a problem
the20year1: i'm sure someone would
