nubbins`: t-shirts with public keys printed on them, think there's a market?
pankkake: isn't it the modern panem et circenses?
nubbins`: turns out the power-hungry aren't necessarily the best people to be placed in positions of power
mircea_popescu: i don't get this. how is electricity cheaper ?
nubbins`: "You won't see me crying when the power goes out. It's your own responsibility to keep warm, that's yourself and the vulnerable, so just deal with it. It's not the government's fault."
nubbins`: well, the need for fuel wasn't visible for many until substations started exploding
nubbins`: generally "scalping" doesn't happen here, so there's that, at least
nubbins`: the20year: costs remain constant, availability doesn't :)
mircea_popescu: i don't get this bs. how can a market economy experience shortages, at all.
nubbins`: needless to say, you can't buy a generator or a bottle of kerosene here at the moment
nubbins`: yeah, you don't find many single young people living on their own here
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't think it's significantly different, tbh.
pankkake: minimum wage isn't really welfare. well, it encourages other kinds of welfares
nubbins`: so you can't get paid to sit on your ass your entire life?
nubbins`: although i always had the impression that eastern europeans didn't bother too much with the softer drugs
mircea_popescu: yeah, except until the cops ransack your place and find 5 sets of opened similar packages cause your gf can't be bothered to take out the trash
mircea_popescu: likely it isn't your first time.
mircea_popescu: if you're a dweeby teenaged male with no social circle this won't stick,
nubbins`: i don't have a defense, i'm not in the picture
mircea_popescu: in that those aren't neighbours.
mircea_popescu: they do, but people don't hate their neighbours inter-city.
nubbins`: what, people don't send mail inter-city?
mircea_popescu: except the package wasn't sent by the neighbour.
mircea_popescu: but you AREN'T a reviled politician.
nubbins`: "they didn't even get my name right!"
mircea_popescu: i don't believe in long contracts.
mircea_popescu: it merely says X can't come and say here, i have an assigment by nubbins, on his warrant, so please accept MY pgp as a valid signature to redeem shares.
mircea_popescu: o. you're reading the "no third party assignments" to mean you can't have someone else's X ?
mircea_popescu: you can redeem just fine, you just can't redeem to your own account if you don't have one
mircea_popescu: so on paper 1 it says "we don't handle third party assignments" and on paper 2 it says "this is for buying directly"
mircea_popescu: it's your damned business to sort it out, and s.mg isn't getting involved.
mircea_popescu: this strikes me sort-of like the girl going to the gynecologist who says "don't let anyone stick his thing in there for two weeks", at which point she replies "are you anyone ?!"
nubbins`: i eat a meal at a restaurant, head to the cash register, "oh sorry we don't take cash"
mircea_popescu: they don't get to say.
mircea_popescu: they can't, cause tey have to say what their acct is before they can pay.
nubbins`: suppose a warrant holder pays [y] BTC to S.MG, and then announces they don't have an mpex account
nubbins`: but that doesn't preclude a direct issuance of shares
nubbins`: another venue, sure. i couldn't ask you to issue my shares on, say, uh... wait, are there even any play exchanges left?
asciilifeform: gas shop won't pour the LN2 in your clasped hands either.
asciilifeform: (visit local welding shop if you don't believe)
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic to a gpg fingerprint yes, but it doesn't have to be a key.
nubbins`: anyway, there isn't much written regarding redemption, here are the few snippets i could find:
nubbins`: well i don't have an account, hence my wondering
Apocalyptic: then i can't help you :)
nubbins`: don't think you have the answers i'm looking for, but sure: what's the process for redeeming one?
mircea_popescu: i dunno how parents allow women out of the house if they can't bake
nubbins`: nod, i can't eat it anymore
mircea_popescu: anyway, i can see why you wouldn't, to allow the used oil to be collected
nubbins`: KRS1: there's been a "Virtual Currency" category on ebay.ca for a while. They wait til you've typed out your item description to tell you that you can't list things in there yet.
mircea_popescu: except we didn't have the talent to do it
pankkake: ebay is a slow, bulky, money hungry monster. don't think they'll have bitcoin as a payment anytime soon
pankkake: at least it means they won't ban it
jurov: no i think it will be buyers who don't like these play exchanges
mircea_popescu: !t m x.eur
pankkake: what I wonder is why people aren't doing it for euros already
KRS1: Darwin hasn't caught up to this one yet.
asciilifeform: "The largest submarines are the 26,500 tonne (34,000 t submerged) Russian Typhoon-class, powered by twin 190 MWt PWR reactors..."

the20year: won't be long before they're doing articles on angel startups founded by bitcoin
mike_c: don't know. probably negotiable :)
the20year: I know, but they didn't want the company to foot the listing bill
the20year: I would list on mpex, but the shareholders won't sign off due to fees
the20year: Maybe they jsut don't like me, or the business
the20year: I'm willing to pay 5%-6% and still can't get a loan
the20year: thus why we're issuing more shares...banks aren't wanting to deal with us
the20year: Real estate is in a stealth mode right now, thankfully the big guys aren't too involved
the20year: yeah, in boca, you won't find anything cheap
KRS1: my last I.T. position was a political nightmare
deadweasel: i haven't done it yet
deadweasel: didn't use to... my father doesnt talk to me much anymore.
KRS1: Many claim to understand I.T.
deadweasel: poor little pets don't deserve it
nubbins`: i can't get into porters or stouts
jurov: don't tell me you're in fact around here, too
deadweasel: as long as it's in a lab, I wouldn't call it eradicated..
deadweasel: nubbins`: don't imagine it, create it, send it to me, I"ll send you pics of me in public
deadweasel: damn, he probably didn't have enough return change to get a 40
mircea_popescu: i hadn't, no.
BingoBoingo: Right now I am on an altcoin chat site offering 0.001 BTC to anyone who can name the Litecoin developer whi isn't Coblee and had 1/4 the BTC network hashpower at one point.
BingoBoingo: I mean their no social media site rule. What fucking websites can't qualify as social media.
BingoBoingo: Seriously the BTC Reddit Circle jerk doesn't seem so bad by comparison
BingoBoingo: Father fucking cockass doesn't know that Blogs are like Books++
deadweasel: don't ascii art to be gayfishye
BingoBoingo: And if he hadn't been killed by Whitey his crew would have mutinee'd eventually because they only got paid a share of what they could sell the oil they harvested for.
BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: Maybe as food. What do you know of their attitudes towards developing tools though. They obviously know we have the bomb. This isn't James Cameron Fern Gully part Dos.
BingoBoingo: Bitcoin's biggest threat isn't retards peddling Doges and other memes. It is cetacians remember the 60's and skipping spears to thermonuclear weapons.
BingoBoingo: Well that's basically how the entertainment industry works isn't it?
BingoBoingo: Sometimes "killer" isn't just a euphamism peopl ascribe to their Chihuahua rats
BingoBoingo: Oh, most virii only are viable if they have been consistently hydrated. It's why some kids in the classroom don't get the illness of the season.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. If they pay the odds were fair. If they can't, who could have imagined/scam
BingoBoingo: With a Virus we aren't talking generally in terms of proteins though. Generally the discussion is providing combinations of proteins in a viable form. Pricing chemically pure puree of microbiota is something that I dunno has been done.
Apocalyptic: VanCleef, didn't you see he fell in love with his beard
mircea_popescu: i mean... you didn't even know they existed before the whole kuru incident.
mircea_popescu: just you know... don't feed cow cow.
mircea_popescu: they'd be a lot scarier if they hadn't been around for practically ever with absolutely no ill effect.
BingoBoingo: diametric: They might be scary, but I'll be damned if they don't obey the rules of good functional programming.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well I know the cows don't seem to complain. Since society seems cool to serving long pig, it would probably be possible to use the penetrating variants of the devices which have been banned from the beef industry since the UK got their proteins twisted.
