benkay: "we won't be one-upped by some no-brand bitcoiner!"
KRS1: Chris helped me get on board with openssh very early on and I haven't looked back since.
mircea_popescu: turns out openbsd really is quite popular in all the places that aren't social media.
mircea_popescu: i didn't do nuttin
pankkake: and you don't know where those coins, or gold bars are actually from
nubbins`: realistically, a brainwallet is one of the better choices, provided you can construct one that doesn't suck
nubbins`: i don't think furnace tape can emboss, not sure tho
nubbins`: i would not like to replace my hot wallet with something that doesn't exist, no

asciilifeform: i mean, i'm not opposed to the idea in principle, but this isn't what we're currently making
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've had the IRL people refering to you as the BitKing because it helps impart a sense of scale. And helps enforce the idea that the only meaningful policy decision Obama could make would be to legalize the weed. Which would help Obama by making him less a hypocrit, but won't help Serena Williams get past Halep in the French Open.
mircea_popescu: one can't do everything

BingoBoingo: Cuntcoin I haven't heard of yet
mircea_popescu: see the entire "sum of natural numbers can't add to -1/12, because all we know is partial sums and taylor series and natural integers are all positive (and not fractional)"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well. Back in the day I wrote school papers on troll culture and turned in bakers fluff, because class doesn't pay money.
mircea_popescu: this scenario has played out so many times before. "hello sir, I am here to kidnap you!" "aww. why kidnap me ? wouldn't you rather pick one of the naked girls ? like that one with the small tits ?" "a... okay!"
BingoBoingo: Reddit can't even think of criticism as lulzily stupid.
BingoBoingo: Google offers the b* which is why I don't like Google's fucking bowlderized ass
mircea_popescu: So FreeBSD which isn't associated with malcoins per se and is used in the PS4 vs. OpenBSD which is now smeared and tainted with btc's. Hmm, let me think:"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "I'm sure you'll fit in here just fine. Has anyone told you what happened to John Katz yet? Oh, yeah. We Don't Talk About That." um ?

BingoBoingo: Fuck, I haven't made the first page of Slashdot since Windows Vista (or was it 7) SP1 was released
BingoBoingo: I don't think there's a serious solution to the CRT problem other than to stop reading text from the front of spotlights.
asciilifeform: wouldn't do to have a back row seat in the gasenwagen, i always say.
BingoBoingo: Ascii Well, aesthetically it isn't optimal though. FOr the libretto cage has to go outside the factory case.
BingoBoingo: Handful of window screen under the asparagus mound doesn't seem very noisy though as long as the screen gets changed every year.
BingoBoingo: At least they don't hide the ugly
BingoBoingo: Classic style wordpress comments aren't bad.
BingoBoingo: benkay: I just regret your blog doesn't seem to as of yet have comments enabled.

pizzaman1337: I can't go any lower than that
Duffer1: i dunno, i haven't seen anything interest
KRS-: Isn't that too much weight for a cyber punk's waif body to handle
KRS-: for the record I'm nothing like that..not a redneck but drive a newer model diesel 4x4 truck and have a fast car for drag racing, but haven't messed with it in a while..go to bars with friends and hang out when i can.
asciilifeform: at least it isn't 'Google Knol'
mircea_popescu: i stil lcan't get over that quora byline
asciilifeform: new transformer at ft. meade, but fuse isn't to spec. blows every day.
mircea_popescu: some haven't burned out/been broken in the more rural parts
pankkake: environmentalists don't understand that
nubbins`: well, CFLs are full of mercury and don't work in dimmers
punkman: don't they need most of the money to keep testing builds on a bunch of old hardware?
pankkake: maybe people don't know that funds openssh
nubbins`: dated a girl years ago whose grandfather was an oil guy. he couldn't even keep track of all the places he owned land.
nubbins`: maybe the only calgarian who doesn't work in the service, oil, or cattle industries
mircea_popescu: i've yet not heard a case that wasn't a lie.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't believe anything poor people say that has "need" in it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect the premise that criminals are driven by a desire to acquire wealth is flawed here. crap artists aren't REALLY running a business.
nubbins`: apparently french people don't want to print things, nor read web pages

asciilifeform: maybe once i leave that work behind. i promise it isn't an interesting story though.

asciilifeform: i'm not certain why you so readily conclude that they aren't happy 'wolf men'
mircea_popescu: now they don't dare try for phase two of that, and so they're stuck waiting. it will probably be indefinite.
KRS1: mircea_popescu: it wasn't peercover exactly I was trying to get at here, it was their trading platform
pankkake: bitcoin businesses seem to raise money when they don't need it, end up with a shitload of coins, and simply don't have any incentive to work
KRS1: so consider this..peercover is insurance but they also will now have an exchange for trading..doesn't this complicate their liquidity requirements
benkay`: if this person actually "owned" an actual "business" they wouldn't be "looking into" selling shares on some derpy ripple thing
benkay`: https://ripple.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5509#p36398
KRS1: https://ripple.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5509

nubbins`: i still haven't seen a legit, undetectable unfunding.

nubbins`: "But how do you know that the privkey inside matches the public key part? And how do you know the privkey wasn't copied by someone before being sold to you? This thing is far less secure than a downloaded paper wallet!"
pankkake: well, you end up having most diplomas wether you're good or not; most diplomas mean nothing. I certainly wouldn't hire anyone who has my diplomas and nothing else to show
mircea_popescu: afaik it wasn't deliberately constructed
mircea_popescu: i don't want her to lose a nail.
assbot: !ticker <exchange> <ticker> (desc: returns current ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO) {short: !t}
