mircea_popescu: the thing
gavin thought constitutes the basis of his importance.
mircea_popescu: the only hostis humani generis are the anonymous usg tools. the
gavin-koch-weimer-boeck-younameit.
mircea_popescu: for as long as one entertains even faint delusions that who knows, packard is maybe a person too, that "coreboot" retarded, what's her name, is maybe human like we are, that
gavin or hearn have mothers and fathers and children and smell roses rather than you know, dwelling in rats nests like the rats they are and come out of ootheca like any other kitchen cockroach - for as long as that delusion is even vaguely present it's n
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : if you google bitcoin authors you get : Andreas Antonopoulos,
Gavin Andresen, Adam Back, Brian Behlendorf, Wences Casares, Hal Finney, Satoshi Nakamoto, Charlie Shrem.
mod6: because why would i want
gavin's vpatch stuck in the middle of my flow, if he's not in my wot?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the "doesn't matter cycles are cheap" happens to be exactly the
gavin argument.
mircea_popescu: hing like this has the advantage that it's an entirely uninvesting expenditure (exact opposite of what the faux foundation did with its "hiring" of nsa asset
gavin andresen), it commits the foundation to ~nothing and can be discontinued at any point.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-13 19:06 asciilifeform: bip64, aside from complicating the protocol and giving relevance to the
gavin shitgang, is also a jam-tomorrow chumpatronic engineering structural element
mircea_popescu: the moore is dead. it's just as dead here as it was when i killed
gavin with it. dead is dead, and objective reality means universal properties.
mircea_popescu: but w/e, after the total rout of the
gavin forks in 2015 and the political rather than technological defeat of the summer of forks earlier last year the remaining hole - which is also not going to get plugged - is exactly in this vein (segwit is no different), where all comers are more than welcome to define magic versions, script meanings and paralel chains ; which everyone else is more than welcome to ignore.
mircea_popescu: " Andrew Sullivan, chair of the Internet Architecture Board, a group that oversees organisations involved in the evolution of the internet" << there's a
gavin everywhere!

gavin is ~a used cumsock.
mircea_popescu: verty until I saw an opportunity to be a member of the great Illuminati brotherhood and I took my chances and I have been a member for close to three years now and the higher you get the richer you become." whereas
gavin started life pretending to be in charge of bitcoin.
BingoBoingo: Sure, then there's
Gavin folk who can't be honest

mircea_popescu: anyway. it's altogether unclear how on earth one will wipe them this time. intelligently they're no longer using a
gavin, but ~an anon hydra.
mircea_popescu: no it's not
gavin coin, because old wedding picture was associated to random string! it's jeff rubin now!
thestringpuller: So basically Steemit's fate is being turned into a straight up spam machine since it has no soultion in place for the eternal september except "premined votes from ned and dan" and btc bagholders who bought extremely early and can't yet exit. This is the doom I believe Bitcoin would have faced if Roger,
Gavin, Hearia, or whatever incarnation of USG programmed hedonist-bot had hijacked the entire system and allowed spam to be cheap. Th

mircea_popescu: and to not forget the various other usg tools with a more remote, disavowed involvement :
gavin andresen, emin gun sirer, and a whole list of various derps who unilaterally claim involvement : amir chetrit, anthony di iorio,
gavin woon, joseph lubin etc,
mircea_popescu: whole "
gavin got consensus" "trump don't got a chance" bla bla all over again.

mircea_popescu: then there was the whole craig whatever incident. where the usg assets in bitcoin (
gavin & all) swore as to the authenticity of a gross fake.
mircea_popescu: now, the usg assets in bitcoin (
gavin & all) didn't like this, and whined about the signature. so i said : swear it ain't so. in writing. they... didn't.

mircea_popescu: ima go pick up a slut, will be back in a few hours. just in case any
gavin andresen implementations feel the burning need to derp here.
mircea_popescu: no wonder he's being promoted. by now, the moment i see lamestream going "X is a Y" the ~only thing i think about is that if Y = bitcoin, they'd be saying x=
gavin.
shinohai:
Gavin has been rather quite for a few days.
mircea_popescu: they had
gavin and all it took was a trilema post to turn him from st peter to a sort of dan quayle. it's not the sort of thing the grunts like to face.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ous standard at the Amherst Lab.' << Between this,
Gavin, and Trigglypuff Amherst is starting to sound like quite the lizard den.
BingoBoingo: Same way it is impossible to tell if
Gavin is older than 12
BingoBoingo: Note that Trigglypuff like
Gavin lives in Amherst, MASSachussetts
mircea_popescu: it's a matter of audience. the people who think
gavin is a person don't grok all this ; the rest would be counter-affected.
midnightmagic: The payment protocol thingy
Gavin did *can have* also the property of saving signed invoices for the client including such information but nobody cares and there hasn't been a high-profile use of the PP where a dispute ensued.
mircea_popescu: let me guess, it was "community consensus" on reddit, on the basis of their locally mutated
gavin and some "experts" they consulted.
mircea_popescu: so you like templeos because it has persistence and graham because, apparently,
gavin doesn't have to work for a living.
mircea_popescu: i dunno wtf they were thinking putting it in the chip rather than the ram. i guess nobody could have predicted mp kills moore together with
gavin.
mircea_popescu: " At the October Meeting, Board members voted to award a gift membership to
Gavin Andresen for his exceptional service working with our Bulletin Editor, Rebecca Fricke, on the League’s recently redesigned website, www.lwvamherst.org ." << i guess he gets 20 bucks in gift certs or somesuch.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
Gavin gets to lease a car, because he's got that Union job at the mill. PAID LUNCH!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
Gavin is General Motors goon whereas you are more... Toyota
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not in the same way as
Gavin.
danielpbarron:
gavin can't say the things that i can say, and in that sense he is much less free than I am
shinohai: +asciilifeform ^ answers the old riddle, 'does
gavin have to rot in an office' <<< a cage is a cage still, isn't it?
mircea_popescu:
gavin has nfi idea ; but generally - this stuff is hard, and the people who grok it damned few if extant at all.
pete_dushenski:
gavin-moore's law of infinitely straight lines said so!
