have fun with your lady, fediverse. And, thx GRCB0T

By reading some of it it think he wants to go the delta hedging route, last time it worked but it didnt end so well..

Rob was taking a bunch of exams to become a certified asset manager in the US, but I don't know what the status of that effort is at the moment
<mrtrousers>
YOu know trading is a negative sum game?
<traderman>
lol
<mrtrousers>
That the best deals are private and not public?

what is the productive value of trading?
<mrtrousers>
Thats how businesses finance themselves with money from the public, thats all
<mrtrousers>
A business wants to grow, goes public and takes money from the people to capitalize itself
<mrtrousers>
With the promise of future revenue, be it dividends or price going up.

<mrtrousers>
Regarding trading, i guess its all about liquidity.
<mrtrousers>
Like futures.. COmpanies want to hedge comodity prices and they need someone to take the risk.
<mrtrousers>
They need to hedge cause they ran an operation and need a certain predictibility to run the books. Through hedging they know their operation cost and profatibility for the next x months/years.
<Peppernrino>
i don't like projected income schemes.
<Peppernrino>
shady af.
<apc>
futures has always come off to me as gambling
<Mercosity>
Agree.
<apc>
and the only time I've ever set foot in a casino was for the all you can eat crab buffet
<Mercosity>
It is.
<mrtrousers>
Its gambling if you are taking the risk
<mrtrousers>
If you are hedging its called insurance
<Mercosity>
Craaaaaabbbbbbbb!
<Mercosity>
insurance is hedging your bets
<mrtrousers>
Lets say you make chocolate bars.
<mrtrousers>
YOu need to know at what price to sell them for your operation to stay profitable.
<Mercosity>
That you won't crash and burn.
<apc>
all this shuffling of risk to lay it on the shoulders of the public whenever possible
<apc>
helllooo TARP
<mrtrousers>
For that you need to know the cost of cocoa for the next year or so. Thats why you buy cocoa futures.
<Mercosity>
And if you do crash and burn someone will pay you.
<mrtrousers>
Just so you have a known price to run your books, your operatio, for x months/years.
<mrtrousers>
Easy pissy.
<Mercosity>
GRC futures.
<Mercosity>
can I hedge that.
u77 has joined #gridcoin
<mrtrousers>
Well currencies have a futures market. Grc does not yet.
<mrtrousers>
If you are a multinational operatin in markets with different currencies, you want to hedge them.
<mrtrousers>
Or the chocolate bar manufacturer example.
<mrtrousers>
He doesnt only hedge cocoa..
<mrtrousers>
It turns he buys the physical coca in brasil..
<mrtrousers>
But the currency in brazil might go up or down related to usd..
<mrtrousers>
SO he wants to hedge "el real brasilerio", once again to know its operationg costs, running books and know the sell price of his chocolate bar..
<mrtrousers>
For the next year or so.
<apc>
wouldn't it be great if cocoa was discovered to prevent zika
<apc>
pregnant women everywhere would be sending the cocoa futures through the roof

IM reading the gridcoin finance and dont see anything that its not already been done.
<mrtrousers>
I guess the innovation is that its distributed computing.
<mrtrousers>
Yet you do all that, and whats going to happen is that you get frontrunned buy the wall street guys.
<mrtrousers>
Unless you rent a server in the exchange itself, or in one of New Jerseys data centers.
<mrtrousers>
And thats expensive.
<Peppernrino>
why would that happen you think?
<apc>
can't we just plow wall street under and plant a garden or something?
<Peppernrino>
could blacklist new york
<mrtrousers>
Its all about the length of the wire

YOur neural network might identify oportunities but by the time they are executed the oportunity will/might be gone.

Hey guys, where's the block download link? my client keeps crashing while downloading the blocks from the GUI.
<Blaze9>
I'm back after a loooong time away.
<Erkan_Yilmaz>
!snapshot
<fediverse>
You can download Gridcoin's blockchain faster:
<fediverse>
1. start the Gridcoin wallet with admin rights (admin rights are required only under Windows): Go to menu: "Rebuild Block Chain" > "Download Blocks", or
<Blaze9>
I've got a question. I haven't loaded my client in about 2 months.
<Blaze9>
I'm looking at the CPUID leaderboard on gridresearchcorp
<Mercosity>
ok
<apc>
so you finally switched to liquid nitrogen cooling, eh openflames?
<Openflames>
I added an extra fan to the radiator on the cpu
<Mercosity>
cool
<Openflames>
I swapped to my new full tower NZXT Phantom I got for $30, and wondered why it turned itself off after a few minutes
<Blaze9>
and I'm still ranked 12 on the list. I remember from when we launched the second version of GRC it was somewhere around 180 day retention for your coins. Still the same?
<Openflames>
radiator fan wasn't turning at all, overheated the cpu to 88c. Threw on 2 fans after checking they both worked so it never happens again
<Mercosity>
bummer
<Openflames>
Fan controller doesn't work, I think I need to turn off auto management in bios?
<Mercosity>
yes
<Openflames>
But back in business
<Blaze9>
You have a dedicated fan controller?
<Blaze9>
or you're relying on the mobo?
<Openflames>
It's mounted to the case
<apc>
fan controller shouldn't care about your bios
<Openflames>
Some levers associated to various fans, but not dedicated and not completely plugged into since it only works for half of them
<Blaze9>
Yeah, fan controller won't be linked up to BIOS in any way.
<Blaze9>
Yeah all my controllers only have 5-7 slots while I've got maybe 7-10 fans per case.
<mrtrousers>
In a forum post i read about splitting balance in two adresses so not all coins stake and mature at the same time.
<Blaze9>
so it's half and half. I usually keep CPU/Radiator fans on the dedi controller and keep them at 100% all the time.
<apc>
when I was shopping for mine I found nzxt controllers had a lot of bad reviews on newegg
<Openflames>
Never used a fan controller before so not sure really. I think I'll want something nicer before managing it manually
<mrtrousers>
So.. Does having many adresses afect staking, por and the reward you get?
<apc>
I really like my lamptron :) it was on the pricier side but worth it I think
<apc>
and it can do 30w per channel so it can power my exhaust fan

nzxt controllers I found had pretty low power handling. that might be the problem openflames
<Openflames>
possibly. I may have also fried it
<Blaze9>
I ran through 2 of them. First one two of the channels were not staying saved. Second one's been working real well though
<apc>
I got the FC5 V2

A bit of smoke later I fixed it up

hahahaha
<apc>
well at least you got it at a discount :)
<apc>
I'm always paranoid about seeing smoke coming out of mine
<apc>
but then I realize it's just flashbacks
<Openflames>
It was from a 4pin fan connector, was like "uhhhh what"
<Openflames>
That was all thankfully but was the realization it was too much power and checked
<Openflames>
Love my mobo
<apc>
I just moved my exhaust fan to inside the case. had to lose one of the rad fans to fit it. but only up a cpl degrees at core
<apc>
case temp holding at 53C with fan at a tolerable volume
<apc>
acceptable

<smushygrc>
today i am not sure my good luck has lasted tho.
<Blaze9>
Nice =) grats buddy.

yesterday i had 36000.84 grc, today i have 12000.6. I don't remember spending any. is that normal?
<Blaze9>
Uhhh
<apc>
are you staking 24k?
<smushygrc>
how could i check using the gridcoinresearchd headless client?
VashTheStampede has joined #gridcoin
<apc>
ah that I don't know. I've yet to familiarize myself with the linux client
<smushygrc>
it kind of looks like a 2/3 stake but i wonder how i can tell etc.
<smushygrc>
will the stake come back at some point?
<apc>
yup
<smushygrc>
is it a daily cycle?
<smushygrc>
how many hours should i expect it to be out staking roughly any idea?
<apc>
I *think* it should return when you get your next por reward. but I'm not certain as I'm not as familiar with staking yet (newbie)
<smushygrc>
ah that sounds cool.
<apc>
but whenever I've had an amount staked, it reset after a por cleared
ravon_ has joined #gridcoin
<smushygrc>
i'm guessing it staked a bunch and they came back in the last 4 hours. that must be why they don't show up in the getbalance total.
<smushygrc>
in my listtransactions output it shows several large "immature" category transactions.
<apc>
I know coins mature at 16hrs
<apc>
but yeah I'm not very clear on staking operations
<smushygrc>
oh this is interesting. if i add up all three of my "immature" category transactions the total is: 24001.3

Erkan_Yilmaz: Merhaba
<Combined2857>
Erkan_Yilmaz: I run BOINC syncronized with gridcoin.co for 1 week now and I have not received any amount of GRC
<Combined2857>
shouldn't I receive some small amounts of GRC just by contributing to the project ?
<Erkan_Yilmaz>
depends on your balance and/or magnitude
<Combined2857>
I think I haven't configured something correctly
<Erkan_Yilmaz>
1. on boincstats do you see your cpid updating with RAC
<Combined2857>
All i did was to sign in to gridcoin.co, add my wallet address, and then I syncronized the BOINC with my account so now I am analyzing the project I selected on the gridcoin.co site
<Erkan_Yilmaz>
2. also there: are you in gridocin team ?
<Combined2857>
Erkan_Yilmaz: my CPID is "INVERSTOR"
<Erkan_Yilmaz>
looks like your boinc is not read correctly
<fediverse>
- it's easier for newcomers to get started, e.g. you get faster GRC this way (instead of longer waiting time for solo mining)
<fediverse>
- 5 disadvantages: 5% fee; not every BOINC project addable; you don't get project rain; your BOINC work is attributed to the pool, not under your name; you can't vote in Gridcoin polls
<GRCB0T>
Title: GridCoin.co Pool (beta) (at pool.gridcoin.co)
<Erkan_Yilmaz>
OK: problem of Combined2857 cleared, all are happy
<Combined2857>
Erkan_Yilmaz: what is project rain ?
<Erkan_Yilmaz>
sometimes, people donate money for certain BOINC projects, e.g. during !challenge a donator says, the people who make BOINC Wus for project XYZ, get in total X grc. And the X is divided according who does more Wus
<Combined2857>
so its just distributing donation money to contributors based on magnitude
<Erkan_Yilmaz>
"pools want money for their service, e.g. pool1 takes currently 5% fee, and pool2: 20%. Considering that the payout time may be 1 week or more until you get your earned money E, you are basically also giving the pool a free credit, so they can use your money E for something else, and profit also from that."

I think they have to have a distribution center in your state in order to collect sales tax. the distribution center here is over in ks, which is 1000ft away :)
<moisesm123>
but still the free shipping is just the regular standard shipping
<Bouowmx>
New York: 0.99 USD shipping from New Jersey distribution
<Bouowmx>
For Newegg
<moisesm123>
For us Newegg is like $13 to $30 depends on what you get
<moisesm123>
sometimes it can be way highuer
<moisesm123>
higher
<moisesm123>
same for Amazon
<fkinglag>
moisesm123 there aren't any big-box retailers around like Best Buy?
<moisesm123>
Next Day or 2 or 3 day shipping
<moisesm123>
yes, Best Buy only. We used to have CompUSA which later rebranded to TigerDirect but they went out of business here
<fkinglag>
sometimes you can find the same if not similar products at Best Buy and just price-match online with TigerDirect/NewEgg/Amazon
<apc>
my first job was at compusa :)
<apc>
micro center killed them
<moisesm123>
I don´t think that´s possible because phisically there is no store here now
<moisesm123>
I mean TigerDirect
<fkinglag>
moisesm123, or even just "rent" using their solid warranty/return policy :P
<moisesm123>
Best Buy there are 3 only here
<fkinglag>
non-ethical pro-tip
<moisesm123>
in Plaza Carolina, Plaza Rio Hondo and Plaza Las Americas
<moisesm123>
those 3 places only
<fkinglag>
my friend used to just have a free xbox360 by buying it and returning before the 30-day was up
<moisesm123>
so those who live in the south have to come to the North to go to Best Buy :p
<fkinglag>
CompUSA is all gone here
<fkinglag>
they're all Whole Foods now :P
<moisesm123>
Yeah but CompUSA was rebranded as TigerDirect
<apc>
the micro center here is right next to a whole foods
<moisesm123>
When I was in Florida the TigerDirect stores are in Orlando, at almost 2 hours of road trip from where I stayed :p
<moisesm123>
Flight prices needs to go down a little more XD
<fkinglag>
drone delivery
<fkinglag>
hehe
<fkinglag>
sometimes I think about drone courier service
<fkinglag>
or drone flying advertisement service
<moisesm123>
haha, I don´t think an Amazon Drone could go over 1,000 miles all the way to PR
<fkinglag>
moisesm123 perhaps not
<moisesm123>
I mean, it is almost 3 hours of flight time from PR to Florida
<fkinglag>
wow
<moisesm123>
could be 2h:30m but that depends XD
<moisesm123>
last time I arrived 20 minutes earlier
<moisesm123>
so, 2h:40m
<fkinglag>
the ride back would be shorter because of tailwinds typically
<fkinglag>
the ride there would be long I guess
<moisesm123>
yeah it is a little shorter
<moisesm123>
should be 3 hours from here to Florida and 2:50 from Florida to here
<fkinglag>
it's about 3 hours from Minneapolis to Las Angeles
<moisesm123>
but that is just an estimated. Depends on the plane speed
<fkinglag>
long from here to Florida
<fkinglag>
5 hours
<fkinglag>
didn't know PR was that far away :D
<moisesm123>
yeah
<moisesm123>
from Kentucky to PR it is like 4 hours
<moisesm123>
that´s how long a package from UPS takes to come here
<fkinglag>
you order a ton of shit lol
<moisesm123>
lol
<fkinglag>
what's your most favorite SoC ?
<moisesm123>
it´s amazon that sometimes prefer to ship via UPS :p
<fkinglag>
I may try to order one this morning
<moisesm123>
Right now the UP Board is running at 1.66Ghz with CPU and GPU being 100%
<moisesm123>
CPU is clocked at 1.44Ghz
<fkinglag>
not sure if I want to order through alibaba for Opi PC
<moisesm123>
Atom X3-Z8350
<fkinglag>
the lattepanda looks so nice
<fkinglag>
to me
<moisesm123>
yeah that is also nice
<moisesm123>
DFRobot delivered by DHL
<fkinglag>
logistics shouldn't be a problem for me to order bulk
<moisesm123>
at least here we also don´t have to pay customs fee
<fkinglag>
I got Prime, too
<moisesm123>
Lots of people in Europe gets mad because they have to pay customs fee
<fkinglag>
yeah
<fkinglag>
gotta pay the tax man
<fkinglag>
tax man(s)
<moisesm123>
so, still no IRPG game?

I think the general thought among most of BOINC staff is that they can't be arsed with cryptocurrency
<fkinglag>
if only we had some here
<customminer>
Fair enough, but the idea is to give the BMC a platform to make announcements and clear up questions regarding BOINC and governance topics.
<customminer>
They don't need to be interested in crypto.
<fkinglag>
yeah we operate independently
<customminer>
fkinglag: re: Having a member on the BMC, exactly a point we could raise.
<fkinglag>
as an option to BOINC
<fkinglag>
BMC?
<fkinglag>
if we throw money at BOINC and stuff then maybe that'd help put more credit towards Gridcoin's reputation
<fkinglag>
S/throw money at/donate to
<fkinglag>
if we get one good person from BOINC staff onboard for the hangout then that's good enough for the future
<fkinglag>
we are going to be a thorn in the side of BOINC software for a while
<HViD>
!stats
<fediverse>
HViD, your !stats were sent via private message

indeed, if we can get one or two BOINC devs/committee members into the next hangout it'll be very beneficial for the hangouts and Gridcoin
<fkinglag>
ah
<fkinglag>
I hate abbreviations
<fkinglag>
even to have one of them just listen in would be nice
<fkinglag>
lots of people don't understand the impact Gridcoin will have on BOINC as it all scales
<fkinglag>
eventually we may very well just do away with BOINC Manager
<customminer>
possibly, but at the moment that's not on our roadmap
<fkinglag>
yes
<fkinglag>
and good thing it isn't
<fkinglag>
imho

please use '/msg GRCtip balance'. Use 'withdraw <yourGRCwalletaddress>' to withdraw your entire balance to your wallet for a fee of 0.02 GRC. Tipbot commands are !rain, !rainactive, and !tip.

I'll get a new motherboard by then actually

<NeuralMiner>
customminer, Numberfields replied last night. they're going to talk to the IT dept to remedy it. so good news there.
<customminer>
next beyondbitcoin hangout* sorry lol
<customminer>
hey Peppernrino
<Peppernrino>
oh hi
<Peppernrino>
last night wouldn't let me do anything. i think i have this morning by the balls though. expect it in like an hour or two. :)
<NeuralMiner>
customminer, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charity_Engine "The project works by selling spare home computing power to universities and corporations, then sharing the profits between eight partner charities and periodic cash prize draws for the users"
<customminer>
NeuralMiner: I contacted them previously about Gridcoin, they said they weren't interested in crypto due to potential for false positives?
<NeuralMiner>
... huh? but they give out money for crunching for boinc....?
<customminer>
NeuralMiner: They sell processing time, they then donate money to volunteers. Their BOINC stats are low, I think they distribute other DC software than BOINC.
<Peppernrino>
fkinglag: please don't make me have sex again. i need to do stuff.
<NeuralMiner>
weird. wondering why they were worried about false positives with crypto when they can have the same false positives with what they're doing.
* Peppernrino
puts on his headphones and does a dab.
<NeuralMiner>
Agree. looking through the dazzler one, it looks like we can at least get a head start. documentation is very much lacking. looks like they have a lot of security in the back end i didnt know about.
<NeuralMiner>
URL signing and such.
<NeuralMiner>
hmmm... did you notice the current pool isnt HTTPS?
<NeuralMiner>
"Unfortunately, we no longer have the resources to maintain the project." i keep seeing things like this; how expensive is it to run a BOINC project?
<fediverse>
(info: try also my commands: !usd or !eur)
<customminer>
NeuralMiner: It does cost a few thousand per year to run, but it's significantly cheaper than paying for compute resources.
<customminer>
NeuralMiner: Not SSL? LOL!
<NeuralMiner>
damn. yeah, i figured the return would be more than worth it.
<NeuralMiner>
yeah, we've been hammering on projects for it, and the pool doesnt have it. lol
<customminer>
NeuralMiner: Yeah, but the pool's a 3rd party service not an official Gridcoin website. You're right though, no SSL is bad. Katiee's lack of presence is a concern - requesting SSL might not be a quick fix..
<Erkan_Yilmaz>
someone mentioned onbugtracker that the gridcoin downloads are also only http
<HeyMerlin>
NeuralMiner customminer regarding a new account manager... would this be to replace BAM? and if so... why? What about BoincTasks (not web based though)?
<NeuralMiner>
HeyMerlin, it would be as a second pool. wouldnt affect solo crunchers.
<Mercosity>

no that would make us a community with common interests and could possibly be considered team like!

In the spirit of the olympic games we wouldn't dream of being team-like, would we?
