I didn't intend to cash in doing camshows, but I had several friends who did take it more seriously, and they made more money than they would have othrewise, for a very low effort, some customers just wanted to hear them talk. All this was a long time ago, I see less activity on the site th

brendafdez: most arbolitos work for a certain broker, i couldn't do that, I was my own market basically, i had money on btc-e and bitstamp and made there the trades i made with people here otc, like for instance, someone buys 5 btc, i buy 5 btc on bitstamp/btc-e, someone sells 2 btc i sell 2 btc. That was the theory, of course there was a spread and to me one year ago that soiunded like it could work, and sometimes it did, but there were many u
brendafdez: nplanned issues. Also form what arbolitos tell me, they can basically do the trade at 'the cave' basically at the same time if they don't have both buyer and seller, and they are running out of money on one end. But I couldn't do that, there were times when I would in fact run out of money in the exchanges and had trades which i took at my own risk, and that was a very bad thing.
mircea_popescu: brendafdez this because you're in principle against being an employee ?
brendafdez: i am not
mircea_popescu: so then ? of course you work for someone.
mircea_popescu: that's how you learn to stop sucking at being your own boss, among other things

davout: do you to keep it that bad?
davout: *do you want to keep it that bad?
brendafdez: There was much less risk involved when I would sell shit, it was easier also, and besides I could bring many things via post shipments form DX, eBay and such (so I could many times spare the middle man), and it was just listing on MercadoLibre (local ebay equivalent), and most would sell, there wasn't much a way I could lose money, only it the thing didn't sell. I had to go and wait hours at customs, many times if the items weren't
brendafdez: expensive they would let me go without paying bc they had more interesting stuff going on with other people, i had to go to the post or bus station and make shippments. In hindsight those were the good times and doing it wasn't hard. Then I started dabbling with bitcoin, I had been reading the forums on and off since 2011, i was too stupid then [not that it has changed] and cpu solo mined, made nothing, didn't get the thing. Then I
brendafdez: bought some bitcoins via The Rock and VirWox with Linden Dollars, in the beggining of 2013, which was would seem a lucky move, but I wasn't able to do much with that.

I rejected the offer, it seemed more risky and not the kind of people I'd want ot be associated with
davout: didn't you just say you were broke?
Adlai: indiancandy1: as mircea_popescu loves to say, bitcoin is a priviledge for those who can afford to throw away some money. mostly because you'll find yourself incredibly averse to spending them, once you realize their value

brendafdez: i always think being the intel asset is a bad deal, for said asset that it. There always comes a point in which using that information is worth more than keeping the source.
mircea_popescu: this is an argument similar to "there always comes a point when a trusted party runs with the money"
mircea_popescu: this is not actually how life works.
brendafdez: thanks for pointing it out
Adlai: no, this is actually how cancer works
mircea_popescu: for that matter, people who think in simple money terms end up outsourcing their industrial base to china and then wondering where the country went.

Adlai: water doesn't have a 'strategy' though, same way that corn didn't plan to enslave monkeys to grow more of it
mircea_popescu: well, it could be deemed to have a strategy , reducing to "pursue the shortest term maximal gain"
mircea_popescu: obviously this is not philosophically correct, but for our purpose here imo sufficient
Adlai: this is reducing the word 'strategy' to the same level as 'mobile strategy', 'social strategy', 'cloud strategy', etc

cazalla: if you stick around, there is no reason why you couldn't write for qntra itself
brendafdez: but i like writing in spanish
brendafdez: if there aren't many sane voices in the english bitcoin space, imagine what it's like in spanish-land
cazalla: that's ok, perhaps we set you up as the spanish correspondent
mircea_popescu: it's a news site tho. i dun see it'd damage anything if she translates to spanish, provided something reasonable like say articles are a week old.
Adlai: there is also no reason why qntra qldn't issue shares for translations
brendafdez: so, qntra translations seemed cool :P, i atributed them, of course, but i know that's technically not enough
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i thought she meant copy/pasta word for word, english to spanish, i wouldn't have known unless she said so anyway
mircea_popescu: well if it's english to spanish it's necessarily not word for word, they use different words en castellan
Adlai: why not have language sections on qntra, with some lesser share issuence for translations?
mircea_popescu: Adlai because of the can of worms that "lesser share" opens
cazalla: if qntra were to ever publish in another language, chinesey and spanish would be the top 2 imo
mircea_popescu: prolly, yea
mircea_popescu: it is a huge language space, even if atm bitcoin poor.

cazalla: brendafdez, anyway i only ask you refrain from reposting english articles, if you wish to translate ones to spanish, go for it but as mircea_popescu, perhaps give our own articles some time before doing so

mod6: What arch are you on x32|x64?
mod6: Anyway, if x32 ( I remember this had problems last week ) I'd be awesome if you could execute: `readelf --dynamic bitcoin/src/bitcoind`, but you have to have bitcoind built first.
mod6: s/I'd/It'd/
danielpbarron: that was the auto.sh thing
mod6: Sorry?
danielpbarron: the one linked on the front page of the foundation
mod6: I still don't follow.
mod6: Yeah, I linked the auto.sh script (v0.0.5) + signature to the website.
mod6: oh, I see what you did. heheh. Yeah, you need to have a directory of patched v0.5.3.1 source in 'bitcoin' first.
mod6: then place auto.sh in the same directory as 'bitcoin', then execute.
nubbins`: is this an arm cross-compile on x(32/64)?
mod6: nubbins`: no.
nubbins` wanders
mod6: v0.5.3.1-release is going to be x64 linux only.
nubbins`: proper thing
mod6: anyway, i'm in the process for rolling this release, so part of what I'm doing is putting the scripts required to build (such as auto.sh) on the website for reference.
nubbins`: i got bogged down last night trying to cross-compile arch linux for the pogo. osx is no fun
nubbins`: well. resolving clang/gcc incompatibilities is no fun
mod6: *nod*, yeah i truthfully don't know much about the entire pogo thing.

mod6: the release tarball will end up being linked up there. and the containing RELEASE_NOTES.txt file will point to the patch/script tarballs up there just so they're availble individually somewhere.
mod6: speaking of which, with any luck, I might have RC1 rolled by late tonight.
mod6: it'd would be cool, when i give you guys a link, if you could pull it down, and build it. (if you have a linux x64 machine, if not, don't bother)

nubbins`: may not be linux but it's still POSIX compliant 8)

mod6: for some reason, the only person built it on x32, and it didn't work. and I don't have time to work on that.
mod6: patches are welcome if you want to work on that.
mod6: otherwise that'll be available at a later time.

mod6: need to get this one wrapped up.
nubbins`: finish making the suit before you hem the pants
mod6: *nod* and as previously discussed, we'll be doing shorter release cycles going forward. none of this 4.5 month type stuff if possible.
mod6: bottom line here is, we don't wanna paint ourselves into a corner. so we're going to work towards shorter releases.

Adlai: although a medium predator which migrates to a new land where it's the largest predator will find little resistance in becoming a stronger, larger, etc predator (up to a point, but that point will be larger than its current size)
pete_dushenski: you might see more diversity in the new environment but why larger and stronger ?
pete_dushenski: it's already large and strong enough to be top dog
pete_dushenski: it'd be expensive to support a larger organism and might crush the supporting food web
Adlai: these fresh arrivals came from a place where they experienced downwards pressure from larger predators
pete_dushenski: and now they're in a new environment without said pressures
Adlai: their size upon arrival is already the product of those expenses, but together with additional competition from larger animals, forcing them further down
pete_dushenski: maybe down in numbers but why also down in size ?
pete_dushenski: why aren't there then mini-zebras roaming the serengetti
Adlai: smaller organisms are more efficient
Adlai: ... up to a point
Adlai: (muscle power varies by the cross-sectional area, but the weight it must move varies by the volume)
Adlai: in general though these are all nonlinear advantages, and their nonlinearity varies among ecosystems
chetty: <<< still wonders how dinosaurs even walked ...wouldn't they need steel bones to hold up all that mass?
Adlai: slowly.
Adlai: the ones that ran - velocipator, orinthomimus - weren't larger than say a stallion
mircea_popescu: and for good reason, too.
mircea_popescu: mostly to do with cooling.
pete_dushenski: ya, i don't suppose dinos sweated
mircea_popescu: nope. reptiles generally work on the principle of the wound spring in more than one respect.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ironically enough, i consider myself cultural elites. cause if not that, wtf else.
mircea_popescu: i get it that everyone everywhere, say the derps on argentina, or the derps on the internet exactly alike and exactly for the same reasons identifies as this "workman" bullshit.
mircea_popescu: but for one thing it's bullshit and for the other thing, it doesn't really wash.
pete_dushenski: reptiles: springs, mammals: internal combustion
mircea_popescu: workable analogy imo.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: what's your take on this "foster's rule" thing ?
mircea_popescu: seems to fit the data.
pete_dushenski: hm ok, i'll take
pete_dushenski: "Compliance startup Chainalysis was forced to defend itself today after allegations its surveillance tactics had disrupted services and threatened the privacy of bitcoin users.
pete_dushenski: The Swiss company, headed by ex-Kraken COO Michael Grønager and former Mycelium engineer Jan Møller, created over 250 'false' bitcoin nodes to harvest information on the whereabouts of transactions. The firm claims these nodes have now been shut down."

assbot: Is someone monitoring large parts of the network? (evidence+firwall rules) ... ( http://bit.ly/1LpyBl9 )
mircea_popescu: really there was absolutely no reason (apart from their tim swansonesque contemptuous idiocy) to make the nodes visible.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform : "It so happened that my aunt, then a sensitive and somewhat dreamy young woman, had stubbornly and haplessly clung to certain musical tastes which at that time in China came to be regarded as politically incorrect, being said, in the trendy ideological jargon of that time, to reflect “decadent bourgeois revisionist aesthetics.” To wit, my aunt had kept in her record collection a rendition of “The
mircea_popescu: Urals Mountain-Ash” (Уральская Рябинушка), a Russian folk song in which a young girl meets two nice boys under a mountain-ash tree and must choose between them"
mircea_popescu: i agree with the chinese. the part where the young girl chooses is utterly burgeois, and the part where a choice is made is definitely reactionary.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: have nodes always been "visible" ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski not the point. the point is that if you make a spy node, you have no conceivable reason to make it act outwardly in any way other than a common node.
mircea_popescu: these were fucking broken, mostly because the "Swiss company" is a bunch of poor ass niggards with delusions of grandeur.
mircea_popescu: "in 1972, which culminated in Nixon's historic handshake with Mao Zedong, completing China's civilizational pivot away from the USSR and toward the west. In hindsight, this dramatic opening could only be properly characterized as a swift dagger-in-the-back against the USSR"

mircea_popescu: some people who don't own a dictionary got opinions about the usage of words.
mircea_popescu: some people who don't own a history book gather on a blogspot to emit nonsense.
mircea_popescu: same principle.
pete_dushenski: likewise, some people who don't own a bitcoin gather around a reddit to imagine they matter

pete_dushenski: nubbins`: once was enough
nubbins`: nevermind that this is not evidence of the awesomeness of bitcoin, but of the fact that the audience was at least feigning politeness
Adlai: mircea_popescu: what's your take on this "what's your take" thing?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` clearly if he was applauded by a whole roomfull of people he's not a total failure.
nubbins`: right?
nubbins`: ultimate validation
mircea_popescu: Adlai i dunno.
nubbins`: he probably took a bow
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i once took a girl out to the very nice theatre in my home town, 1800s baroque building, and we sat in the presidential seats and at some point i started applauding
mircea_popescu: and the whole fucking hall started applauding
mircea_popescu: she was... a little unraveled.
mircea_popescu: (tru story, too)
mircea_popescu: but it was a coincidence.
nubbins`: not bad
Adlai: dev behind popular open-source-closed-dev spv wallet is also behind a sybil attack to correlate transactions with jurisdictions... so that's why local trader is so cheap!
nubbins`: i started a slow-clap once that spread to about 7k people
mircea_popescu: Adlai heh.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it's infectious, right ?
nubbins`: esp. if you look around and nod while you're doing it
Adlai: was the theater clap not at a typical claptime?
mircea_popescu: these weren't even 1k, and romanians are very herdy animals, and were more so back then.
mircea_popescu: Adlai was not.
mircea_popescu: so i'm having cognac and chocolate cookies for breakfast at 3pm. this can't be bad for me, can it ?
Adlai: doesn't have to be 'coincidence' though, could just be that you reacted fastest out of all the clappy folk, giving the illusion of causality/coincidence
Adlai: long as the choclate's dark
mircea_popescu: Adlai the bit was to my taste, which is why i clapped. my tastes are rather... odd, but i guess it's possibru.
mircea_popescu: it is, yes.

mircea_popescu: they could, if they had a stalin.
mircea_popescu: they don't have a stalin.
mircea_popescu: in fact, they don't even have the vague approximation of a stalin where a guy says to his golddigger harpy "if you fuck another black man i'm going tyo hung you both by your toes, and if you struggle i won't let you go", and then does it when she fucks another black guy.
mircea_popescu: they don't have as much of a stalin as a uni professor that goes " all women, stand up and strip naked or go the fuck home".
mircea_popescu: this is a very small amount of stalin to not have.
ascii_field: how am i to know that, e.g., dick cheney, isn't hunting little gurlz for sport in arizona desert as we speak ?
ascii_field: or hanging his mistress by the toe

ascii_field distinctly recalls mircea_popescu's 'he is not lizardhitler who does his hitlering in private only'
ascii_field: but as i gather, the usg-elite consciously walks this line - unlimited debauchery in private, idiot paper-pushing in public
mircea_popescu: what, exactly, is this debauchery ?
mircea_popescu: like, you ever drove by the walled compound where some general is keeping his harem ?
mircea_popescu: no, brunei and saudi arabia elite walks this line.
mircea_popescu: the us is a bunch of impoverished derps with airs.
mircea_popescu: "oh, the luxury of paying 48658609485609850 for a condo."
mircea_popescu: "yeah, well done."
ascii_field underscores that he does not know anything re: how ted turner of w. buffett pass their time, or did when young men - but has quasi-educated guess that may or may not be worth the neurons it's printed on
mircea_popescu: you know plenty of how wb passed / passes his time, he's quite public about it.
mircea_popescu: indescript house in omaha, married, with children. about as boring as it gets.
mircea_popescu: nttawwi, on the grounds of one man, he can do w/e the fuck he pleases.

ascii_field: but what kind of lizard aristocrat is that. pssh.
mircea_popescu: visit brunei sometime, for srsly.
mircea_popescu: preferably take a girl with you, can prolly get a decent price.

mircea_popescu: the people who try to have a good time are generally 2nd or 3rd echelon,

mircea_popescu: i dunno what value a 3 year old audio testimony produced by a media company with ample access to recordings of the person's voice could be worth in court.
mircea_popescu: if it is worth anything, it is worth anything only through the sheer ignorance / ample cupidity of the jury.
thestringpuller: isn't that the point of a jury?
mircea_popescu: otherwise, i could probably make an audiotrack of obama confessing his erotic dreams of stalin.
nubbins`: thestringpuller actually yes. i did get eulora to run
nubbins`: didn't get it to accept kbd/mouse input
thestringpuller: what platform?
nubbins`: this was a while ago
nubbins`: natch
thestringpuller: ah. damn. i'm trying on ubuntu using chetty 's setup. almost got it. just cal3d is invisible for some reason
thestringpuller: soon. progress. stuff.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` if memory serves the stuff was upgraded once since hten
nubbins`: check against the linux as well as osx install guide on the wiki, might be of some help
nubbins`: mp o!
nubbins`: then maybe i'll have another go
nubbins`: is 0.0.4 latest? that's the one i was messing w/
mircea_popescu: it's latest but old. a new one is in the pipe so give it a few.
danielpbarron: i got eulora to work on gentoo
danielpbarron: i collected items and talked to npcs
danielpbarron: this was weeks ago
mircea_popescu: seems gentoo is going to be a major platform for eulora beta / many things we do.
ben_vulpes: wai no
danielpbarron: at this point i consider gentoo to be the only linux (worth using)
mircea_popescu: should be remembered as "the costs of systemd".
danielpbarron: and openbsd the only bsd
ben_vulpes: gentoo doesn't have systemd?
danielpbarron: it's optional and not default
mircea_popescu: more easily fixed than the rest of 'em.
mircea_popescu: nobody has so far taken a strong "fuck you, and red hat, and the usg" stance. it is likely they never will,
mircea_popescu: preferring instead to write plaintive missives of no value ten years later, like the netbsd derp.
mircea_popescu: "here's how stupid i was and here's what you could learn from it : don't EVER go with the libertard ideology, ever."
mircea_popescu: except not really saying that, because hey, still same dumb, ten years older.
ben_vulpes: and i assume that crystalspace won't build on openbsd?

ben_vulpes: except that it's not happening.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: vendor insists they tested 50 random Rs from spool
asciilifeform: and found none that match my description of the four that ended up on the boards.

asciilifeform: likbez for ze n00bz
mircea_popescu: fact remains you can add a chunk to generate fake keypresses right next to it.
mircea_popescu: you are immune to it, yourself, because wires.
mircea_popescu: spy however can't discern
decimation: the other solution is to insert a differential filter (lowpass) in the actual scan array circuit
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ideal materials for this artistic project is controller from identical kbd, with keyswitch faker attached
mircea_popescu: well, or can use your own rng.
decimation: which may have obvious side effects on the circuitry
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes but to have precisely same radiating profile
mircea_popescu: well yea, will take some tinkering.
asciilifeform could probably achieve more with an actual spectrum analyzer, but would have to sell organs
decimation: does your o-scope have a 'spectrum analyzer' mode?
asciilifeform: decimation: yes but entirely useless for this application.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 147533 @ 0.00032249 = 47.5779 BTC [+] {2}
asciilifeform: decimation: the rf amp is the golden toilet
asciilifeform: i only have the equivalent of a 'copper toilet' here.
decimation: actually your scanner would be a halfass alternative
decimation: you can at least measure relative signal strength at select frequencies
asciilifeform: decimation: what do you suppose i was using.
asciilifeform: (it's an ancient rs232-controlled scanner, and handheld antenna over 50ohm coax)
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 42298 @ 0.00033536 = 14.1851 BTC [+]
decimation: heh the icom pcr-1000?
decimation: I have the 1000, it's a good unit
asciilifeform wonders if -everybody- has this one
decimation: there was a windows tool that turned the pcr-1000 into a spectrum analyzer - not fast but it kinda worked
asciilifeform: any machine-controllable scanner with machine-readable output is a (very) poor man's spectrum analyzer.
