What do people use for web based RSS readers. I used to be a big fan of Google Reader up until Google pulled the plug on it I switched back to liferea. I hear good things about Bloglovin and Fishwrap. I'm using theoldreader I ditched web based RSS readers when I couldn't find a suitable replacement for Google Reader, and now run rss2email locally i've never used an rss reader i havent used a reader since google reader died -.- prismatic is kind of neat for a curated news aggregator i used that for a little while http://getprismatic.com/ rss2email++ And it's almost like Google Reader if you're using a gmail account :p @twitter -i freedaemoncom FreeDaemonConsulting (OKC,OK,US,Earth,SS,MlkyWyGlxy) Member since: Wed Sep 02 01:34:49 +0000 2009 Followers: 49 | Following: 112 | Tweets: 65 | Description: free software, consulting, OpenBSD, and related services. hmm, not sure how to get brycebot to show the last tweet someone made. ohwell. here it is. @freedaemoncom: I just paid @arpnetworks in #bitcoin using @Coinbase! lol toddf: The only tweet display is when you drop the permalink in here https://twitter.com/freedaemoncom/status/407990977681297408 TWITTER: I just paid @arpnetworks in #bitcoin using @Coinbase! http://www.arpnetworks.com (Tue Dec 03 21:53:23 +0000 2013) there we go ;-) woo! w00t :) up_the_irons: a million people probably asked ahead of me, but are there any plans of expanding storage for the vps plans? i'd for instance be interested in the all-purpose but 50G+ disk jbergstroem: Are you asking about something beside the "VPS Power Ups -> Storage" on http://arpnetworks.com/vps ? oh, there's that now. didn't scroll enough heh On my screen, it ends just after Jumbo, so the ugprades are easily overlooked. And in case you're going to ask - upgrades are done by emailing support@ sure, thanks. up_the_irons: ^ both of those points could use a little attention on the site. ("how do I upgrade" and maybe some way to make the "upgrades" section more easily found or visible) yeah, agreed - it took me a bit to find it when ordering my second VPS i'm perhaps bit of a hipster, but like those sites where you can drag sliders for ram/disk/etc. did anyone observe packet loss this morning (PST/MST time zones 0900-1300 intermittently) ? it was below my alert threshold, but i only saw it because i was trying to nail down when comcast did some network maintenance in albuquerque this morning and saw it following the gap during comcast downtime at like 0200-0300 brycec: m0unds : noted, tnx. the site is actually going through a redesign anyway; watch for it in early 2014 :) (or 2013 if my friend who is doing the redesign gets off his PS4 ;) (and i'm not helping cuz now we're playing BF4 together) jbergstroem: yeah the power ups have been there forever. you can get as much disk as you want :) up_the_irons: i rarely go to /vps which i guess was the problem jbergstroem: yeah, i think you're not the only one. redesign will work on that (for one, the "main" front page won't be VPS-emphasized anymore, it'll be more generic, since now we do offer more services) up_the_irons: are you accepting bitcoins for payment yet? :P jpalmer: experimentally, yes; toddf is the first to pay with bitcoins are you using coinbase for payment processing? or something else? jpalmer: if you're interested in trying, lmk. there's no interface or anything, i just send an invoice manually with Coinbase and do what i need to do on the backend up_the_irons: nice. I saw the payment options on coinbase just now, and thought of you. it can post back, and all that. so you could tie it in to your backend. also, I saw coinbase offers a thing where for 1%, they'll instantly convert the BTC to USD, so you get the exact amount you priced it as, rather than holding the BTC and witing for price fluctuations. I thought that was nice. heh. for those who intend to go back to fiat. ;-) toddf: do you do any mining? Is that even profitable anymore? mhoran: depends on what you've got. ;) I suspect that in early 2014 (february or march) the nextgen ASICS from bitfury will be hitting the market, and we'll likely see about 2million Thash/sec added to the network jpalmer: yup, if it is popular enough, i'll work on integrating their callbacks. i can also use their api to do the pay button / invoice thingy, so in the end, it could all be self-service. that'd be awesome. jpalmer: the auto conversion of usd / btc is what i used, yeah mhoran: I have a couple of the USB miners. and pre-ordered a 100 Ghash/sec card. may pre-order 1-2 mre of those cards though. I've been mining opensourcecoin lately though. Interesting. Sure wish I jumped on board years ago. :) jpalmer: unfortunately I did not jump on board when it was profitible to do so with a regular cpu. I've not the time nor the physical resources to house minig rigs. yet. I'm doing some trading at btc-e.com but the general up direction of BTC and/or the general down direction of USD gives me pause to convert BTC to USD. if I need something, typically, I can purchase a gift card through gyft.com/egifter.com etc .. planning on making ... ... BTC more of an item on my radar in 2014 though .. jpalmer: if you do any exchanges at btc-e.com and have any taste for perl please feel fee to critique https://github.com/toddfries/Finance-btce .. I've an app I'm writing on top of this, so I can ensure it at least is functional ;-) toddf: there is a preorder right now for a 100Ghash/sec self contained mining machine.. $350 (current generation, thats about an $8,000 purchase) how is $350 an $8000 purchase? toddf: I do tade at btc-e.com, mostly on metatrader though ;) I guess I should look at it. do you need an external app or ? current generation hardware.. 100Ghash/sec is gonna cost $8k nextgen (28nm) is due to hit the markets late february.. and the same hashing speed is $350 if you pre-order nope, self contained. just needs ethernet, and power how do you configure it? via flash? I preordered a few days ago web server does the web server have any .. fancy requirements .. like java 1.6.2.3.4.5.6.9.4 but not 1.6.3.4.5.6.9.3 ? http://www.minersource.net/mining-hardware/ not sure yet, since.. it's pre-order ;) toddf: lol jpalmer: do your current miners still produce anything? i've heard / read that at this point, mining btc is not worth it jpalmer: you're talking black arrow prospero x-1 ? up_the_irons: I have 2 USB block erupters. but, I don't have them mining bitcoin these days. I'm doing opensourcecoin toddf: Si jpalmer: ah ok i'll be building some rigs to mine litecoin once all the parts arrive (this week some time) up_the_irons: what kinda gear? jpalmer: how exactly does metatrader work at btc-e.com ? it requires an app, which .. what is different than an app doing metatrader vs an app hitting the api directly? jpalmer: mainly Radeon 7950 GPUs and also the Radeon R9 280x jpalmer: and big PSU jpalmer: everything else is negligible toddf: I hadn't looked into their API. so, not sure I can answer that question. metatrader uses an API, and allows you to go long or short on different currency pairs (metatrader is the software that most home daytraders use for foreign exchange) jpalmer: the api permits you to make calls to the https via an api key that then permits you to get account balance, place a trade order, cancel that order, check exchange rates, get sell/buy requests etc so, you may be writing code that does the same thing jpalmer: if the metatrader limits itself to currency pairs then what I am writing indeed does a different task ahh, ok. so you'd be trading actual coins. metatrader.. you are trading on the value of those 2 things. often, with leverage. (they offer up to 1:3 leverage right now) yeah, 2 different thngs. heh. so metatrader is almost like making a bet on the future price, and collecting if right. I'm actually moving coins around. and based on fees and such I can make (sofar) up to 2% in a short time if conditions are right. tuning the app to understand trading as I'm doing so as well is the hardest part. ;-) I'm checking out your code now. I'm not a perl guy, but willing to check it out ;) the bot part is not there, just the btce-api http://gbpaste.org/B6eG6 hrm, I dunno man. looks a lot like what metatrader does let me find you a quick video on metatrader, and make sure you aren't trying to reinvent the wheel not a great video, but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idZp5U-9ZRM skip to 7:10 YouTube Education: "Forex Secrets - Using Metatrader 4 (Part 1of 3)" by Brittany Maschi (9m 54s), 39,925 views, 27 likes and 5 dislikes. Uploaded 2008-01-21T16:22:05.000Z. the demo is the basic api. apply some logic and some market algorithm I'm not entirely sure I'm releasing if it makes me money and it does something entirely different ;-) coconut curry hefeweizen is pretty awesome i really wish i'd mined bitcoin more i was playing with it briefly and i've amassed some $ now but i didn't really like the noise from gpu whurring away they have "king size" kitkat mini's... haha
