mircea_popescu: yeah. like hdds : either dead in six months or good forever.

mircea_popescu: and the same people will be selling the farm three to six months down the road.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-06-2015#1180042 << pretty much. HOWEVER, more movement has been made towards sanity in this chan over the past six months than since 2009. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: the thing the "community" prefers to ignore is that its continued existence is fully predicated on it being made 80% of people who are not older than six months and don't intend to be.

mircea_popescu: who and where told them "we're getting wiped, at the most last out another three, maaaaybe six months" ?

mircea_popescu: Namworld so do it for six months, take a year or two off.

mircea_popescu: "The certificate was filed seven months after the entry of the district court's order and six months after the filing of the government's notice of appeal. It was filed only after the defendants raised the issue of its absence in their briefs to this Court."

mircea_popescu: if i had a pick of 2-30 men from my youth, i could take over this country in six months. make any random whore of your choosing president.

mircea_popescu: cuz i suspect this is the deep reason asciilifeform doesn't want offspring. i tell you if the 19 yo snot that imagines he's better than me (like you know, every single fuctkared 19 yo snot "being famous in the bitcoin community" etc that we see here periodically bubble up his idiocy and then six months later fail abjectly and disappear) actually grew up in my house, i'd shoot it to death with blunt toothpicks.

mircea_popescu: sure, someone could. the moment someone does you get ubuntu - two years of unusable, six months of barely usable and then insta-poettering. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: but as an amusing bit of color : presidential elections six months away. eight people are candidates - none of them has a running mate.

mircea_popescu: it "seems to be working" because placebo effect, a sugar pill "seems to be working", and then six months later guy with tb is dead of iodine poisoning or w/e.

mircea_popescu: he's new. give him six months.

mircea_popescu: lol the guy is trying, give him six months.

mircea_popescu: six months or a year down the road, we can continue this conversation in a better position.

mircea_popescu: the_scourge generally the advice given to noobs is to read the logs for six months to a year.

mircea_popescu: is it perhaps because the path of evil is really quite narrow ? funel shaped at first, line thin six months later ?

mircea_popescu: how about the fucktards spend six months reading the logs like it's the words of their father, first.

mircea_popescu: and for that matter, i marked mtgox for death in april, they struggled to prop it for six months before abandoning it ignominously, i do not believe they do not know they can not stand.

mircea_popescu: i fully expect them to try, fail, and then spend the next six months writing how mp is a scammer all over reddit/the boy's bathroom

mircea_popescu: i guess im updating the "six months" thing.

mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> i think new regs on btc should amount to giving pre-existing institutions an avenue for entering the bitcoin fray << not helpful. the only helpful thing they can do is say "every financial institution of the fiat persuasion has six months to get mp's okay or lose its fiat license"

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves or maybe the same six months or who knows.

mircea_popescu: doesn't even get a trial, the judge can just sentence him for contempt, six months, no problemo

mircea_popescu: six months or so to go ?

mircea_popescu: srsly ?! try every six months, maybe his retardation now fits reality ? go sulk for another six months, try again ?

mircea_popescu: then six months down the road let's wonder why the asshole's stretched and there's no path back to innocence.

mircea_popescu: but yea srsly, in the space of six months i went from >1bn to like what, 200mn ?

mircea_popescu: and also, had you asked this on teh blog post, this comment'd have ended up on the blogpost. now it;s on the log. if some guy reads the post six months from now, i'll remember it, but vaguely, and i'll say "it's in the logs". how does that help him ?

mircea_popescu: then about six months or so later some people involved had a very public breakup replete with tardstalk scam tag requests, much in the manner the bitcoin magazine takeover worked

mircea_popescu: !s six months

mircea_popescu: jurov incidentally, this reminds me : supposedly people plunked down 5k btc to be locked away in an ethereum address for at least six months, if not more

mircea_popescu: btc111_ the notion that they have the discipline to maintain work on that thing after 9 months' delay six months from now is beyond ridiculous.

mircea_popescu: that'd be up in about six months. so by all means.

mircea_popescu: "let me tell you what i read on trilema six months ago, in my own words".

mircea_popescu: i suppose the results should be informative, for normally socialised individuals. we're dealing with idiots coming out of urbana however, so he's prolly still in denial about just how utterly he got humiliated over the past six months

mircea_popescu: please keep buying shit at par, we'll give you rented hashes for 5% six months later

mircea_popescu: back when benkay was liek... correcting my math. how's this benkay baby! six months fixed my broked math.

mircea_popescu: things that wouldn't be hard at all usually take upwards of six months.

mircea_popescu: soo, some twerps in spain decided "trilema" sounds kinda cool, started a foundation whatever. i sent them a friendly note about six months ago pointing out that it's a registered trademark and they're playing with fire. which they ignored.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "To understand this by repeating this, only 20 members have posted on the Big Rock Candy Foundation 's forum in the last six months."

mircea_popescu: it was.... six months ago ?

mircea_popescu: maybe there is hope for our "stfu and go read for six months" approach to life.

mircea_popescu: the six months old chipper != the ten year old user.

mircea_popescu: it takes six fucking months to break down the male blocks on killing, and even then it only works sorta 50-50.

mircea_popescu: i don't mean the newest scamcoin, i get it, Reggie Middleton is a random noob who figures that he's special and doesn't need to first spend his six months reading here.

mircea_popescu: careful who you tell or you may end up convicted to six months' eyeroll therapy.

mircea_popescu: "i suppose this is what should be on my business card : i'm the guy who came up on his own with a better system than what the nyt came up with, six i mean eight months later"
