rpietila Wall Observer - the Quality TA Thread ;)

[JayJuanGee]

hmmm, interesting!
looking for (automation) industrial engineers?

Looking for people who can obey orders, smile, clean rooms, serve tables, cook, know wines, stand long hours in scorching sun, nitpick about petty amounts, do gardening, smile, drive cars, furnish rooms, clean toilets, empty trashbins, greet guests, empty ashtrays, water lawns, sell wines, do the laundry, smile, answer repetitious questions, clean floors, obey orders and smile.

Oh yes, and the starting pay is bad but the range goes up to 4000€/month.

As we are an equal opportunity employer, being an industrial engineer is not a disqualifier.

You ask for
people who can obey orders - 5/5
smile - 4/5
clean rooms   - 5/5
serve tables  - 4/5
cook  - 2/5 basic cooking ... mostly breakfast and some pastas
know wines  - I don't know wines
stand long hours in scorching sun - 5/5
nitpick about petty amounts - 4/5
do gardening - 4/5
smile - 4/5
drive cars - 5/5
furnish rooms - don't know exactly what you mean with this ... but if you want to let me decorate a room I can do that
clean toilets - 5/5
empty trash-bins - 5/5
greet guests - 5/5
empty ashtrays - 5/5
water lawns - 5/5
sell wines - I could sell them but I don't know all the details ... if the buyer knows what he wants i can sell him wine ... but I don't know what to recommend him
do the laundry - I'm not good at doing laundry ... one time I tried it and made my pants unwearable! But if someone can teach me I can learn!
smile - 4/5
answer repetitious questions - 5/5
clean floors - 5/5
obey orders and smile - 5/5

what I can offer extra ....
I'm a vodka passionate ... mostly for premium vodka
Organize parties for our guests
Offer VIP service to our guests (I've been in the best clubs in the world and I learned what VIP is about)
I can fix computers and stuff .... but I think everyone here knows that so I don't really consider this as a skill

Will come back with other skills if I remember them


P.S. I'm a morning person, I love to get up early!

Okay. Your work starts Thursday, next week. We can pay the taxi from Tallinn! If that is too early, any later day is also possible.

Just to let everyone know I am serious!

If you are serious, then why would you book a two-way? and why would you NOT confirm with Risto via PM? 

I hope you and Risto get along well...  and it will be nice to hear further regarding what it is like working at a bitcoin "castle"

Look in risto's sig.. it say's right there.. 2 x retreats and the dates.. i think this would be the reason for return trip. Dates match as well.

That clarifies the durations of the position in the above situation... but I had gotten the impression that Risto was offering opportunities for advancement for qualified hard working individuals to advance from 400 per month to 4,000 per month, which to me implies longer term work agreements.

Sounds good. I'll pick you up this thursday at a time that is determined by my ferry schedule, but will not be earlier than 12:30.

Together we rock!

Others: it is still possible to sign up!! See link in my sig: "Malla Summer Retreat".

This is awesome! I am so glad to see this kind of connections between bitcoin enthusiasts step into the real world. Really awesome times ! Good luck to both of you !

[ensurance982]

Wow that's so interesting to see and experience that happening! Is anyone providing pictures or some sort of feed of the Malla retreat? Anyone on Twitter providing ongoing updates?

[Vanderi]

I've also been drafted. I want to thank Risto also here on the open forums for giving me a chance.

Thank you.

[ArticMine]

Who is proposing to leave the transaction cap alone (retain blocksize limit in 1MB), and why? (Where is the battle line? )

A good starting point to research this is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=709970.0 and the links in the OP's post. There was a fair amount of discussion on this in early 2013; however the discussion goes all the way to 2010. A forum search for

Code:

max blocksize

yields 3 pages of results. Other variants of the above search will lead more results. There is actually quite a fair amount on material on this. A poll conducted in 2013 on this subject is quite revealing and shows the split in the community. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145636.0

As an aside I came across rpietila Altcoin Observer https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624223.0 while researching this topic myself in early July and as a result got involved with XMR.

Welcome! Then one more is soon joining us, and we have 2 chefs, so the staff is about ready.

It is still possible to register! (Malla Summer Retreat link in the sig, one last time cheapened prices - if you come, then we have 1:1 guests:staff ratio)

Hahaha this will be interesting!

I can do this if the boss allows me to do it!


I am really happy to be able to do this!

private property as we knowing must basically dissapear. Things will be lended. Say you need whatever device to do whatever task, like record a movie or whatever, you ask for any free cameras and you get one sent, when you are done you send it back and some other person uses it.

Who sends you the camera? Who stores it? Who fixes it when it's broken? If two people want it at the same time, who decides who gets it? What happens to the person who "borrows" it and never sends it back?

Statistics could get extracted in terms of "how many cameras are used and for how much time are they used, and how many of them get broken" and then manufacture under these %'s. These cameras are built by automated robots, which manufacture given the data input that I mentioned earlier. The wasted stuff aka unrepairable will be decomposed and the prime materials used again. In 1000 years the human imput to keep this cycle going will be peanuts.

Who extracts these statistics? Who decides how much in terms of resources gets spent on digital cameras, smartphone cameras, video cameras, other types of cameras, and / or R&D on new types of cameras?

Of course some sort of centralized (as in central or "Main", not closed source) computer having realtime date of worldwide resources. I don't see any other solution. The core of what dictates if something can be manufactured or not is judging by the dictatorship that is nature (nature is only true dictatorship, we must align to it, to whatever resources are available) and also to the well being of everyone. If what you are requesting, whatever that is, compromises the basic needs of a person a continent away, then you deal with it and not get said thing until this equilibrum of resources and global well being + your specific not basic need demand not compromising any of the former is meet.

How do you plan to convince the world population to subjugate themselves to your centralized computer?

They will naturally as they see it's just better. Of course you are free to live outside the civilized world.

Does that mean you are going to force people who do not want to be controlled by this computer to move elsewhere? Or can they stay where they are and live by their own rules? Is this a purely voluntary system? Opt-in, opt-out when you want? Abide by the computer's decisions when you want, don't abide by them when you don't? Or will there be an enforcement mechanism? If so, how do you enforce the rules?

No, of course you can continue living however you want, just like these people are still living in the middle of a forest:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd0I1xAICOc

However, naturally people will join in within the objectively better and most balanced system, it will take ages to get there tho, but it will. I recommend you this video:

Hard to believe he can mean serious with that idea.

The only absurdity here is this:

This is too off topic for this thread ... I'm going to respond via PM.

[SlipperySlope]

Here is the one-year chart of adjusted bitcoin transactions showing the 7 day moving average on a log scale.

Note that in the last 30 days the trend is somewhat higher. I accept Peter R's argument that there is a Metcalf Law relationship between the transaction quantity and the price, namely that price is proportional to the square of the quantity.

Supposing the transaction quantity increase trend holds, then that should support higher bitcoin prices . . .

[solex]

Transaction volume is very clearly rising exponentially. Sooner or later prices will catch up.

And the transaction volume in 2014 has a much higher proportion of "real-world" business flow, instead of the case in 2012 when up to 70% was SatoshiDice betbot and messaging  spam.

[MoreFun]

Transaction volume is very clearly rising exponentially. Sooner or later prices will catch up.

Lets say that is true that transaction volume is rising exponentialy, although the last year it is not clear... and 100% increase Y/Y for a game chaning innovation is not a lot... (also lower highs for the last half year).

[SlipperySlope]

Transaction volume is very clearly rising exponentially. Sooner or later prices will catch up.

Lets say that is true that transaction volume is rising exponentially, although the last year it is not clear... and 100% increase Y/Y for a game changing innovation is not a lot... (also lower highs for the last half year).

According to Peter R's interpretation of Metcalfe's Law, to support the historical 10x annual average growth in bitcoin prices, transaction volume needs to grow an average of 3.2x annually. We are not there yet - but the last 30 days might just resume the historical trend.

[aminorex]

Everything changed in mid-June.  The low volatility period has lead to more transactions.  The current regime is best represented by the period since June 24.
