[01:05:28] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Wi-Fi at Starbucks Buenos Aires Has Computers Mine Crypto-Currency - http://sylnt.us - would-you-like-javascript-with-your-coffee
[01:14:29] <chromas> Isn't cpu-mining pretty much worthless now?
[01:43:59] <Bytram> chromas: depends on which crypto-currency you are trying to mine -- each one has different kinds of proof: e.g. proof of work, proof of stake , etc. Also, with proof of work, some are amenable to ASIC implementations (bitcoin) as they have a small requirement for RAM and are compute-bound; others are less compute-bound but require a large chunk of ram (e.g. several GB)
[01:44:19] <Bytram> ^^ is from what I have read -- I have no first-hand experience with any alt-currency
[01:45:18] <chromas> I'm thinking of the article ^ re wifi-mining. I'd expect visitors to not have asics in their laps
[01:45:39] <chromas> But on the other hand, create your own currency, get people to do the early mining, profit
[01:46:11] <Bytram> having not yet read the article, if I had to guess, it's prolly Monero
[01:47:01] <Bytram> heh. "Other twitterers pointed out that the crypto-currency in question was in fact Monero, not Bitcoin."
[01:47:07] <chromas> I just read the headline. Articles have too much words
[01:47:08] <Bytram> =)
[01:47:17] <Bytram> chromas: s/uch/any/
[01:47:18] <upstart> <chromas> I just read the headline. Articles have too many words
[01:47:18] <chromas> That's one I hadn't heard of before
[01:47:26] <Bytram> just amoment
[01:47:55] <Bytram> https://coinmarketcap.com
[01:47:55] * chromas invents time musheen, goes back 10 years and mines bitcoins with an array of asics
[01:47:56] <upstart> ^ 03Monero (XMR) price, charts, market cap, and other metrics | CoinMarketCap
[01:49:25] <Bytram> in the past month, Monero has gone from $122 to $319
[01:50:28] <Bytram> and pretty much holding par with bitcoin over that period... as 1 Monero will get ya 0.018 bitcoin
[01:51:07] <chromas> We should start SoyCoin
[01:52:13] * Bytram thinks that's a "great" idea, now that the SEC is actively looking at ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) with an increasingly fine-toothed comb
[01:52:58] <chromas> We should be classified as a church anyway. Fewer regulations ;)
[01:53:24] <chromas> All hail the mighty Aphrodite!

[02:28:32] <Sulla> On the topic of soycoin
[02:28:52] <Sulla> Im considering buying a stack of mining rigs over the next couple months
[02:29:39] <Bytram> umm, which alt-coin
[02:30:20] <Sulla> Dont know how any of this works yet, I just *feel* I need to do it
[02:30:38] <Sulla> Need to do soycoin and be super elitist as kek about it
[02:32:29] <Bytram> if you do not know what you are doing, might I suggest we play a couple games of poker? You just might come out ahead with *that*
[02:32:53] <Bytram> remember, not only must you buy the rig(s), but also pay for the electricity, and hope that you can do so at a profit
[02:32:56] <chromas> How about a nice game of chess?
[02:33:03] <Bytram> naw, nuke that!
[02:33:11] <Sulla> Really I just want to throw money at it and fail so I can think I tried when im 80 and pissed at the bitcoin rich milenials
[02:33:22] <chromas> He just needs to start his own coin, get it somewhat popular, then cash out
[02:33:25] <Bytram> yes, I recall when bitcoin was barely a few cents
[02:33:44] <Sulla> I tried to buy 1k worth at a couple cents but I couldnt get the transaction to go through
[02:33:48] <Sulla> And gave up
[02:33:51] <Bytram> ye, and nobody else has had that idea... that's why the SEC has started taking notice... and action
[02:33:57] <Bytram> :(
[02:34:21] <Sulla> I think making a new worthless coin and claimig its the best and shitting on all the rest is its own reward
[02:34:44] <Bytram> to each their own
[02:34:47] <chromas> TrollCoin
[02:34:49] <Bytram> for me, I'm gonna take a break
[02:35:13] <Bytram> actually, I think I'm gonna call it a night... have a very early day tomorrow
[02:35:40] <chromas> g'night sir
[02:35:48] <Sulla> Just took my grandmother to a memory care facility so im depressed and drunk, think ill go back to drinking too
[02:35:50] <Sulla> Cya
[02:36:58] <Bytram> {{{ Sulla }}} sorry to hear about that. It's hard to let loved ones go. I've done it much more than I would care to.
[02:37:44] <Bytram> I just try and comfort myself with knowing that it only hurts because I have been so fortunate to have such a wonderful person in my life... if they were a jerk, I wouldn't care so much, right?

[07:35:24] <julian805> Every time I think SN is a right-leaning site I get a bunch of upvotes for liberal posts
[07:36:10] <chromas> We sway like trees in the wind
[07:36:18] * chromas is 14 and this is deep
[07:37:16] <julian805> Very Zen, like a Japanese cherry tree
[07:38:47] * chromas scopes out the comments
[07:39:31] <julian805> net neutrality has split the user base
[07:40:14] <chromas> I've read many a comment on other sites and there's a ton of people on 'many sides' who don't really understand it.
[07:41:00] <julian805> Almost everyone who is against it doesn't understant it...or clearly are arguing in bad faith
[07:41:05] <chromas> I keep seeing posts about ISPs charging to post comments and shit like that.
[07:41:33] <chromas> There are some who think it may be a good idea, but that title 2 isn't the correct implementation
[07:42:25] <chromas> Also I'ven't seen many pro-nn comments discuss zerio-rating
[07:42:32] <julian805> Well that'd be me, too. But in the USA there's no better alternative in practice given our current infrastructure and regulatory framework
[07:42:36] <chromas> s/i//2
[07:42:36] <upstart> <chromas> Also I'ven't seen many pro-nn comments discuss zero-rating
[07:43:13] <julian805> Zero-rating is a disease, it's the opium of the network
[07:43:26] <chromas> Also seen a lot of people racissing against Ajit Pai
[07:44:38] * chromas blames Takei's Russians bots
[07:46:26] <julian805> I found this interview interesting, but I know many old timers on this site can't abide videos ;) https://www.youtube.com

[08:47:39] <chromas> I hope they only cancel the crap shows
[08:49:58] <boru> I hope they cancel everything and declare themselves bankrupt.
[08:50:38] <chromas> Classic Hollywood
[08:52:13] <boru> I would say classic hollywood is far more insidious than that.
[08:54:12] <chromas> Well sure. First, molest some children, then sell them off to a company you just created, have it declare bankruptcy, then close it down and avoid taxes.
[09:03:42] <crutchy> its called "net neutrality" so it must be good
[09:04:04] <crutchy> cos the PATRIOT act is patriotic and in all caps, so it is awesome!
[09:04:41] <chromas> Our laws are named ironically, but I don't think there's actually one with "neutrality" in the name
[09:04:56] <chromas> If there was, it'd probably be ironic too though
[09:05:12] <crutchy> if the "affordable care act" was called "if you like your doctor, suck shit loser!" it probably wouldn't have passed
[09:06:21] <chromas> That's racis. You're just saying that because you hate O'Bama
[09:07:29] <crutchy> no its ok my hexchat color scheme has a lot of black so i'm all good nigga
[09:08:44] <chromas> I bet it's the background though. You're literally making backgrounds of color support your white text. This Is Not Okay™

[18:35:54] <Exaeta> it's getting annoying

[18:37:30] <upstart> ^ 03Journal of arcz (4501)
[18:37:33] <Exaeta> because who else would be doing it?
[18:37:54] <Exaeta> I don't know who it is but someone is downmodding my comments and targeting me
[18:38:25] <Exaeta> "Yeah close but no. Software can still be patented, Alice just imvalidated "take this thing we already know how to do and do it on a computer" patents.
[18:38:25] <Exaeta> For example, I could probably patent the monoque data structure I designed or possibly my design for what I call a "hadix table" (which is somewhat like a hash table but different). These are "concrete" and not "abstract" and they can be patented unfortunately."

[18:40:24] <boru> Looking at some of your other comments, it looks like you've probably gotten someone's goat.
[18:40:33] <boru> Which were also modded troll.

[18:41:03] <Exaeta> someone is obviously mod bombing and harassing me
[18:41:31] <Exaeta> boru: yes well I did kind of delete that journal entry because of the spam on the comments
[18:41:46] <Exaeta> I'm sure if it was still up it'd also have been modded troll
[18:42:11] <Sulla> Has happened to me before, every once and a while ill get modded off topic a bunch even though I am not.
[18:42:15] <Sulla> Commies gonna commie
[18:42:25] <Exaeta> Anyway, mod bombing is against the rules isn't it?
[18:42:32] <boru> It's probably that arstichus character, or whatever their name is.
[18:42:39] <Exaeta> They're even following my journal to mod bomb me
[18:42:41] <Exaeta> please ban them
[18:43:01] <Exaeta> (from moderating, at least)
[18:43:10] <Sulla> Arist has done it to tmb before
[18:43:13] <Sulla> If I recall
[18:43:24] <boru> Sounds familiar.
[18:44:54] <Exaeta> arist should just be permabanned from moderating in general. he doesn't contribute anything, just stirs up trouble.
[18:45:16] <boru> The 'Net is full of contrarians, alas.
[18:45:19] <Sulla> Eh, he gets moderated pretty high even when he says something I find awful
[18:45:34] <Sulla> So the community must appreciate him even if I disagree
[18:45:51] <Exaeta> Sulla: no, an organized troll community cross upmods eachother
[18:45:52] <Sulla> I figure his trump derangement syndrom will end at some point
[18:45:54] <Exaeta> you haven't noticed?
[18:46:05] <boru> I think it's more a case that they bend every discussion towards virtue signalling, which of course wins them favour with the similarly minded.
[18:46:11] <Sulla> I just don't care because I surf at -1
[18:46:40] <boru> Even in scientific discussions, which are the only ones I tend to get involved in.
[18:46:52] <Exaeta> yeah and "virtue signaling" is getting in the way of finding good comments
[18:46:59] <Exaeta> people like that shouldn't be allowed to moderate.
[18:47:15] <Sulla> Eh takes all kinds
[18:47:16] <boru> I would agree with that statement.
[18:47:17] <Exaeta> moderation isn't free speech, it's a way for the site to choose which comments to promote
[18:47:38] <boru> I find it particularly annoying in objective discussions on subjects not remotely related.
[18:47:47] <Sulla> That is a problem
[18:48:19] <boru> Suddnely, some astronomical discovery becomes a discussion on some banal social commentary.

[18:48:41] <MrPlow> Submitting. There is a mandatory delay, please be patient.
[18:48:47] <Sulla> Trump likes space? Space is now evil
[18:48:56] <boru> Well, I'm glad that politics gets its own cesspit now, at least.
[18:49:06] <MrPlow> Submission successful. https://soylentnews.org
[18:49:13] <Exaeta> Soylent news, was at least a decent place to escape SJW infested political news... now it's like, infested?
[18:49:47] <boru> So, submit more interesting stories!
[18:49:56] <Sulla> They are breeding themselves out of existance so not really an issue
[18:50:04] <boru> It is a self correcting problem, indeed.
[18:50:05] <SoyCow8317> I think it's being kept to a low signal/noise ratio
[18:50:16] <boru> What is?
[18:50:17] <Sulla> They arent having any kids so wont be an issue, and gen z is more conservative than the builders
[18:50:27] <boru> Quite.
[18:50:31] <Sulla> Thanks for that article 8317, interesting
[18:50:37] <Exaeta> Sulla: if only SJW was a genetic trait, it's not. It's a meme (mind virus) like religion...
[18:51:12] <SoyCow8317> Sulla - you're welcome. Interesting idea if it pans out
[18:51:47] <SoyCow8317> S/N of political stories to other (science, tech,math, etc.)
[18:52:07] <boru> Well, yes, I've been slacking for the last 6-12 months.
[18:52:11] <boru> I should really make time for it.
[18:52:20] <Sulla> Is modding spam on political posts on non-political articles acceptable?
[18:52:32] <boru> Morally, no.
[18:52:35] <boru> Err
[18:52:37] <boru> Morally, yes.
[18:52:56] <Exaeta> Sulla: there is an "offtopic" modifier
[18:53:09] <SoyCow8317> That's what I was thinking of also
[18:53:16] <Sulla> Repeat offences was determined to be spam
[18:53:20] <Sulla> Excessive repeats
[18:53:25] <Sulla> ?
[18:54:28] <SoyCow8317> The "offtopic" mod I mean't
[18:54:31] <Sulla> Not that I can comment as I refuse to downmod, but should use spam as you believe it should be done then justify in journal and appeal ban

[18:55:08] <SoyCow8317> What do the moderation guidelines say about the spam mod?
[18:55:38] <Sulla> SN wasnt designed to be a site free of the sjw, was designed because f the green site and f beta, or so I assume

[18:57:28] <Sulla> Looks like if proven there is a section on being mod bombed
[19:00:08] <SoyCow8317> For a political comment in a nonpolitical thread I would err on the side of caution and go with offtopic
[19:01:39] <Sulla> If I recall from a journal talking about this a while ago that was the general idea, some people felt after two or three off topics by same user spam/troll was acceptable
[19:03:43] <SoyCow8317> Interesting.
[19:04:08] <SoyCow8317> Do you recall whose journal entry it was by any chance?
