nubbins`: in fairness, i'd ship the box via canada post.
mircea_popescu: and yes, i can readily credit myself retrospectively with saving bitcoin through that, but why even bother.
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2016 12:58:05; nubbins`: asciilifeform i thought it was fairly obvious that MP had been divesting since he lost his shirt w/ MPOE?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-03-2016#1423536 << obvious or not, not really the case. last i did something like this was when i said "100 is good enough" and people insisted on running up to 1k. ☝︎

nubbins`: “I took LSD when I was working on ‘Return of the Jedi,’ and it’s fine. It was, like, very calming. And so I decided to go back to work. When I walked into the blue-screen stage, it was like, ‘Ahhh.’ I took way too much,”
assbot: Tibanne comments on So it was a Fee Event? And everyone was screaming and I was still confused. ... ( http://bit.ly/1oZOJQT )

asciilifeform: plus wtf do i need metal for.
asciilifeform: and i'm not interested in it being scanned in usg mail, either.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, as far as i can tell, is right, and there is nothing to buy.
nubbins`: "what can i buy" as a process of elimination isn't something i'm interested in participating in
nubbins`: asciilifeform that's what i've been trying to ask you and you've been steadfastly not answering
mircea_popescu: so, "buy something useful with bitcoin - must be physical item or service that i can use"
asciilifeform: ~i~
asciilifeform: dun need these for anything. i don't even own iron that could run eulora.
asciilifeform: problem is that nobody's selling anything i need.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-03-2016#1423610 << why would i care what ~seller~ does with it. ☝︎
nubbins`: danielpbarron PM with mailing addy and i'll get a shipping quote

thestringpuller: oh man i'm getting old.
mircea_popescu: i don't even recall how many we ended up distributing, was it like 10% ? 25% ? 1% ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` in honesty at this point i see ~0 chance we'll deliver in any sort of human timeframe, or for that matter have any use for 3 to 25 year old tshirts.
asciilifeform: didja miss the part where i refuse to give ANY of it to usg?
nubbins`: what i'm asking is if toilet paper is a good suggestion, or if a motorcycle is a good suggestion
nubbins`: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-03-2016#1423412 << just so i can suggest appropriately, this is money you don't need/want for practical use? ☝︎
asciilifeform: i mean, if nubbins` thinks that mircea_popescu runs an arse-mouth system and buys own subscriptions, what does he pay divs from?
nubbins`: i "forgot" those
nubbins`: asciilifeform i thought it was fairly obvious that MP had been divesting since he lost his shirt w/ MPOE? ☟︎☟︎

nubbins`: speaking of work, i have a large number of S.NSA t-shirts still taking up space in my basement

nubbins`: sadly, i went for the modern comforts of an i5 (i know)
nubbins`: somewhat inexplicably, first time i've done so in my 34 years
ben_vulpes: i think that the above change would necessitate a new genesis block, as i suspect that difficulty is far too high for the hardware capable of hashing as described to generate a single block in any sort of reasonable time
ben_vulpes: if it's possible to confirm that the contents of `sig` corresponded to the *single* `addr` to which the block subsidy+fees (eg first transaction) pays out, i believe that the addidional `addr` header field could be omitted.
assbot: I'll pay for your tits on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1SrkpdO )
asciilifeform: i used it when i went to c2 ( though i paid with usd. )

asciilifeform: (believe, i tried)
asciilifeform: the one thing i cannot buy with whatever.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wish i had any time.
asciilifeform: (though it isn't as if i have anywhere to go to.)

asciilifeform: well no shit, if this were an easy problem, i'd say nothing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun play.
shinohai: Send me some. I'll blow it for you :D
CrazyTruthYakDDS: hell, factom is better, as it is at least taking advantage of the BTC blockchain/security if i am not mistaken
CrazyTruthYakDDS: which is meaningless, i am sure microsoft also has api tools to work with BTC as well
kakobrekla: i shorted eth at 0.0295
CrazyTruthYakDDS: ty i will look; i feel ETH is play for some BTC holders to pump and dump to more BTC :)
CrazyTruthYakDDS: what i saw was portrait of an adult woman :)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i prefer the sultanic one, with the dead chx, moar.
asciilifeform: ^ closest to the version i was taught.
asciilifeform: which i am trying to derive the implications of.
mircea_popescu: eh for crying out loud. so what, i can only buy, in your model ? or not even ?
mircea_popescu: looky : i said divesting, and you're not going to obtain clarification or further infos about it no matter how it gets turned around.

mircea_popescu: well - i thought you didn't like the father pistols, and shouldn't you be thankful this one's dislodging ?
asciilifeform: i think i described a good bit of it here.
mircea_popescu: mod6 even if - and consider i'm speaking of a purely cartoon view of reality, merely for illustration purposes - even if trbf "misses the boat" and instead dilligently focuses on fixing satoshi code, and three years later the "winner" of july competition falls on sword that trbf actually fouind and fixed, the relative position of trbf in the world has not suffered one iota.
asciilifeform: punkman: i have no intention of partaking in dollar anything, beyond what is required to pay my bills, as anon slave.
punkman: asciilifeform: I'm assuming cardano could also do 'p' one day
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure we actually took a single walk around the whole item
shinohai: Well Gentleman, I have certainly enjoyed working with you all on trb from the past ~1 year nonetheless.
mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea what the future looks like.
asciilifeform: was doing the one thing i knew of that might help, i thought, to nail hitler.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was doing it to help kill hitler.
asciilifeform: except that i have nfi what we're doing with trb.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i can't pay rent in anything but usd and don't see this changing.
asciilifeform: i suppose it will buy a resistor.
mircea_popescu: (i'm not porposing you have a lot - merely poking fun at the rounding process you prolly use regardless)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i have ~0 btc.
mircea_popescu: this particular system, for instance, i've been running for a while now on a half dozen long etc hosts, i don't even notice.
mircea_popescu: i'm more interested in slavegirls and icecream, but sure.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck did you imagine the various items and pillars to build a coherent world-envelloping system come to me so easily ? i'm not coming up with fucking wot-economy and pgp-corporations and all this de novo, i'm just applying to pre-existing items!
mircea_popescu: you know - i did geographically dispersed honest commerce long before bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: best i can see both these items sit on the same philosophical foundation.
asciilifeform: am i mistaken?
