charl | wb Kilos | 12:54 |
Kilos | ohi ty charl | 14:35 |
charl | hi Kilos | 15:20 |
theblazehen | hey Kilos charl | 15:23 |
Kilos | hi theblazehen | 15:23 |
theblazehen | charl, how fast is your net? | 15:25 |
charl | hi theblazehen | 15:27 |
charl | at home or at work? | 15:27 |
charl | at home i am on crappy ziggo cable internet | 15:27 |
charl | at work we have gigabit ethernet with fibre link between buildings and 40gbps uplink in addition to a link to the internet exchange across the road | 15:28 |
theblazehen | charl, wherever you can run a cryptocurrency? | 15:28 |
charl | my home internet is this: https://www.ziggo.nl/#producten/alles-in-1/extra | 15:29 |
charl | i don't use cryptocurrency | 15:29 |
theblazehen | kk | 15:29 |
theblazehen | Was hoping you could help stress-test | 15:29 |
theblazehen | currently doing 30 tx/s | 15:30 |
charl | i don't know how that works, cryptocurrency | 15:30 |
charl | isn't it cpu-intensive ? | 15:30 |
theblazehen | only initial sync | 15:30 |
theblazehen | But mining is often done on GPU, but mostly ASIC for bitcoin | 15:30 |
charl | application specific integrated circuit ? | 15:31 |
charl | some special chips they use? | 15:31 |
theblazehen | yeah | 15:31 |
theblazehen | do sha256 really fast | 15:31 |
charl | a friend of mine does it on his mobile phone | 15:31 |
charl | some android stuff, no idea, no interest either really | 15:31 |
theblazehen | just the client I assume? | 15:31 |
theblazehen | ah | 15:31 |
charl | afaik he can mine too | 15:32 |
charl | but he has a gpu cluster at home | 15:32 |
charl | he took a old rack-mounted server thing, big box | 15:32 |
charl | and he stuffed it full of as many gpus as possible | 15:32 |
charl | maybe he has a picture up, lemme check | 15:32 |
theblazehen | ooh nice | 15:33 |
theblazehen | How much cash did he lose past week? | 15:33 |
theblazehen | I'm gonna get gpu soon | 15:33 |
theblazehen | ROI in 3 months | 15:33 |
charl | no idea, haven't spoken to him in the last week | 15:35 |
theblazehen | kk | 15:35 |
charl | oooh it's a mess but look through this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/twobombs/sets/72157626536549115/ | 15:35 |
theblazehen | price dropped really dar | 15:35 |
theblazehen | far* | 15:36 |
charl | his computer is a complete disaster | 15:36 |
charl | i have never seen such a "kloterij" in my life | 15:37 |
theblazehen | he does bitcoin on nvidia cards?! | 15:37 |
charl | i have never seen kabelsalat like that in my life | 15:39 |
charl | my head hurts and my stomach turns when i look at his machine | 15:39 |
theblazehen | lol | 15:41 |
charl | look at that one photo he stuck an extra PSU at his machine with ducktape | 15:41 |
charl | just to power all the gpus | 15:41 |
charl | is that englishman's site back up again? | 15:42 |
charl | that one that got ddosed a few weeks back | 15:42 |
theblazehen | yeah, site is back up | 15:42 |
theblazehen | And beta going good | 15:42 |
charl | what's the url again ? | 15:42 |
theblazehen | emunie.com | 15:43 |
theblazehen | crypto currency that I was talking about now | 15:43 |
charl | ooh it's a java app ... | 15:44 |
charl | that's can't be fast for mining ? | 15:44 |
theblazehen | actually it's fast enough | 15:44 |
charl | calculations it's pretty good but can you access gpus ? | 15:44 |
charl | i am a java developer myself | 15:45 |
theblazehen | this won't run on GPU | 15:45 |
theblazehen | And needs fast DB | 15:45 |
charl | what happened to the claims he's a fraud and his passport photo | 15:45 |
theblazehen | totally different to other cryptos | 15:45 |
theblazehen | Not sure, stopped paying attention to those guys | 15:45 |
charl | hold on if it's not processing-intensive how does it work | 15:46 |
charl | how do you create artificial scarcity | 15:46 |
theblazehen | What do you mean? | 15:47 |
charl | i mean to generate bitboins are difficult | 15:47 |
charl | computationally expensive | 15:47 |
charl | so you can only generate a limited number of them | 15:47 |
theblazehen | The transaction is verified 3 times by different hatchers, then each gets share of tx fee | 15:47 |
charl | that's why they are worth something | 15:47 |
theblazehen | And theen to produce more there is interest and hatchers get paid based on amount of tx verified | 15:48 |
charl | oh it's a whole different model | 15:48 |
charl | not based on a computationally expensive algorithm ? | 15:48 |
theblazehen | nope | 15:49 |
charl | ah ok now i get why it's a java app :) | 15:49 |
theblazehen | why? | 15:49 |
charl | if you don't need gpus etc | 15:49 |
theblazehen | ah, yeah | 15:50 |
psydroid | hi charl | 15:54 |
psydroid | hi theblazehen | 15:54 |
psydroid | why are these apps even written in java? | 15:54 |
theblazehen | hi psydroid | 15:54 |
theblazehen | psydroid, easy dev? | 15:54 |
psydroid | theblazehen, I guess so, yes | 15:54 |
charl | hi psydroid | 15:55 |
psydroid | but I don't find it takes me significantly more time to write in c++ | 15:55 |
charl | java is nice for developing web app backends | 15:55 |
psydroid | there are just way more possibilities to shoot yourself in the foot | 15:55 |
charl | because all the biggest frameworks are written in java | 15:55 |
psydroid | yes, I understand | 15:56 |
charl | i like writing web app backends in java and web-related stuff | 15:56 |
charl | but for good applications that run directly on the computer, definitely c or python | 15:57 |
psydroid | yes | 15:58 |
inetpro | Kilos: what frequency can I use to irritate the neighborhoods dogs? | 16:39 |
Kilos | lol | 16:40 |
Kilos | http://www.instructables.com/answers/What-ultrasonic-frequency-actually-hurts-dogs/ | 16:40 |
Kilos | i havent tried ones to worry dogs but if that works it will affect your dogs too | 16:42 |
=== psydroid1 is now known as psydroid | ||
inetpro | I'll try it again next time, for now they are quiet again | 16:55 |
Kilos | lol | 16:55 |
Kilos | you undertand frequencies now inetpro ? | 16:56 |
inetpro | well | 16:56 |
inetpro | I think it's more the noise levels that scare the animals than anything else | 16:57 |
Kilos | every different sound is a different frequency | 16:57 |
Kilos | as is every colour too | 16:57 |
Kilos | peeps and all animals are sensitive to certain frequencies | 16:58 |
Kilos | some hurt | 16:58 |
inetpro | I'm not so sure the PC speaker is accurate | 16:58 |
Kilos | it should be close | 16:58 |
Kilos | not sure how fast they can actually vibrate | 16:59 |
Kilos | i dunno if you get special high definition speakers | 16:59 |
inetpro | playing with modulate on FM produces some interesting sound variations | 17:00 |
Kilos | lol ya but fm is high normally\ | 17:00 |
Kilos | like our radio stations | 17:00 |
inetpro | could build a house alarm with this thing | 17:02 |
inetpro | burglar alarm as well | 17:02 |
Kilos | they sounds/frequencies to affect bugs are beyond our hearing | 17:02 |
Kilos | lol | 17:02 |
Kilos | haha inetpro i just mailed telkom and asked if they can put a wifi goodie by this cell tower | 17:50 |
Kilos | this is the reply | 17:50 |
inetpro | haha, good luck :-) | 17:50 |
Kilos | Please note that we will send this to our planning team. Thank you for supporting 8ta | 17:50 |
inetpro | they will most probably laugh at that | 17:50 |
Kilos | well lets hope | 17:51 |
inetpro | there's very lttle hope | 17:51 |
Kilos | there are lots of businesses in the area so who knows | 17:51 |
inetpro | you must be joking | 17:52 |
Kilos | it cost me i email so what can i lose | 17:52 |
Kilos | 1 | 17:59 |
Kilos | night all. sleep tight | 19:56 |
