shinohai: Happy New year mod6 , all
diana_coman: Happy New Year!
BingoBoingo: Feliz ano. Fuegos artificiales were more intense for the new year, but much briefer in duration.
BingoBoingo: Ended up getting a mortar and shells arrangement for the hostel.
BingoBoingo: One or two blogposts incoming while memories are fresh to get the speller calibrated and then December ISP statement
shinohai: "A battery-powered consumer FM radio is placed in a metallic can as a shield. The radio is placed in monaural mode, and the output taken across one of the earphones. An appropriate level for the sound card is slightly audible a foot or two away. " :)

mod6: ARRRGGGGH!
mod6 falls over
ben_vulpes: lol totally. i've finally leveled up in guitar to the point where i can pick some simple songs like this out, so i'm getting some background auditory training in at the same time
mod6: ah cool
mircea_popescu: wtf is a bananaphone
mod6: hahaha
mod6: don't listen to it.
ben_vulpes: i don't recommend it either
BingoBoingo: It's a contagious auditory infection, recommend against having it screened by one of the girls
ben_vulpes: well now i'm listening to the beatles because a raffi cover of octopus' garden came on and i'd rather listen to the beatles and totally not 'cause y'all are a bunch of judgemental terrorists
mod6: lol

BingoBoingo: December 2017 statement published, pls check for compliance to the standards at http://trilema.com/2013/accounting-for-the-nonzero-asset-corporation-the-mpex-standard/
BingoBoingo: Whether local fiat banking is acquired here or not, January 8th discussions will start with the datacenter on finalizing a package, signing contracts, and getting them paid and machines turned on.
trinque: BingoBoingo: will the ISP be providing machines to rent, or are all customers expected to ship their own?
trinque: and where are your rate estimates at the moment?

trinque: lol
BingoBoingo: trinque: The estimated rates here are still the estimates http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2017/11/16/tbi-mid-november-update/
shinohai: I sell u juarez
trinque: BingoBoingo: if the "rest of the expenses" includes all business bootstrapping costs, are we getting shares?
BingoBoingo: And the expectation at the moment is either customers ship, purchase, or otherwise negtiate a machine. At this stage I am weary on the renting, because I don't know what an acceptable machine to rent out is given the proclivity of the lords.
trinque: or conversely, are rates expected to decrease as bootstrapping costs are recovered?
BingoBoingo: trinque: With the debt owed to mircea_popescu by the venture, I lack the arrogance to propose any sort of share arrangement at this time.
trinque: sure, just trying to get you to answer the questions that people will have before wanting to sign on the line.
BingoBoingo: Rates can be expected to decrease if network connectivity gets cheaper, or if two racks or filled they could start to go down on the volume of things.
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, " I would have liked has on into becoming a fuctional as a person in Montevideo " <- ??
diana_coman: and if it gets to praying stage....
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: ty fxd
BingoBoingo: Well, it depends on where the prayers are going
diana_coman: what is the current bottleneck anyway? I can't seem to find it in clear in there or previous posts, am I missing something?
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: The current bottleneck is getting set up as a business with a bank account.
diana_coman: so the bank account? or creating a business? and why/what exactly in more detail?
diana_coman: I thought you had found the needed local person for it after some fumbling or did I get that part wrong?
BingoBoingo: I found an accountant. They are insisting the government should have the paperwork approved soon, but they haven't been too forthcoming on details.
BingoBoingo: Then the bank account matter is something they've brought me in several times to fill out forms for.
BingoBoingo: The accountant is getting pressed this week over what exactly they have been paid for.
diana_coman: question is what leverage the press really has
trinque: can't grab one of those international amex accounts and pay the dc with that?
BingoBoingo: International amex account?
trinque: granted relying on external banking permanently is not ideal
diana_coman: honestly, it all sounds to me so deja-vu in the style of "soon" meaning anything at all but usually a loong time (possibly unless oiled) and forms to fill similar "hoops for no-connections person"
trinque: there are credit cards without foreign exchange fees.
BingoBoingo: trinque: Their standard contract specifies wires to Itau bank
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: Hence the prayers
BingoBoingo: Of course it's possible the local department of approving papers has been stoned since the expocannabis and fucked off all of december for holidays
BingoBoingo: The voice in my head suggesting "Muy tranquilo could be code for lazy, and they get away with it by pointing across the river to Argentina" has started to get more weight this week.
BingoBoingo: brb, sobertime
ben_vulpes: in other words meaning things news, california is aiming to allow its subjects to voluntarily donate to a state charity and have that count as a credit towards the tax bill in order to preserve its deductibility at the federal level

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don't get it, if you spent 2319 usd how can oooh i see, tangibles. so you had ~.51 worth of bitcoin is fiatola and ended with .2 worth of bitcoin in fiatola.
mircea_popescu: this seems right.
mircea_popescu is very fucking happy to see other people can apparently secrete these wonders, i was starting to suspect http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-31#1761935 issues.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-01#1762111 << it'll evidently need moar money to actually buy machines ; as uruguay is not specifically known as a center of iron production the machines will have to be shipped in anyway. so practically speaking, customer that is lazy/unconnected can definitely have machine produced for him, but if one's atop the game shipping his own iron hurts nothing.

mircea_popescu: then again illinois has been fucked for a long time.

mircea_popescu: soberania!
a111: Logged on 2017-12-25 19:00 mircea_popescu: anyway, for the record and in case it isn't entirely self-evident on the basis of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-25#1758486 : whenever some self-proclaimed "sovereign" of the fiat sort tries to say "hey, we have a law", the correct response is to a) point out to that self-proclaimed faux sovereign that there exist other just as valid because just as self-proclaimed faux sovereigns (the eu, russia, china, whatever, bucnha them

ben_vulpes: reads like "rev-en-ja", or "revenger" from here but that can't be right
revnja: i'm a guy that registered an rsa key with deedbot but for the life of me cannot get it to provide a challenge for voice
revnja: thanks for voicing me so i can inquire as to such
trinque: so inquire.
revnja: i have an RSA key registered, querying it with !!up doesn't provide me a challenge, deedbot just tells me I cannot !!up myself.
revnja: so my inquiry is what syntax do I need to utilize for the bot to voice me?

esthlos: whoops
ben_vulpes discovered today that airpark hangars are not quite as dry as i'd expected
ben_vulpes: dunno that i buy it, esthlos, the misery of enemies and the pleasure of their women is historically a pretty strong motivator
esthlos: ben_vulpes: I don't claim that people actually acted for the benefit of their lineage, but that they understood that they should
esthlos: as in, it's the only sane solution
ben_vulpes: why is it sane to stay in the drafty and mouldering ruin your family left and insane to go abroad plundering?
esthlos: what's insane is to do it all for yourself. plundering is fine
ben_vulpes: why is it insane to not waste the resources on the quite likely -ev project of progeny?
esthlos: -ev ?
ben_vulpes: negative expected value
