mircea_popescu: dude, you are the one that said, and i quote, <asciilifeform> i'd like the cable that can be 1km long and doesn't radiate, plox
asciilifeform: i'd like the cable that can be 1km long and doesn't radiate, plox

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> yes, if it were a personal work of brin the younger, i would not be surprised re: no bets. << I'm not entirely sold on Deep Blue II electric boogaloo having been definitive for chess. Kasparov was not Undisputed in his championship at the time. His title was not recognized by FIDE.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i remember, a coupla years ago, when i first saw a live 'mazerati' << In one of the college towns I lived in there was one I'd frequently see as it bounced from parking lot to parking lot, looking more like weathered trash than other cars of similar age.

pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-02-2016#1406042 << as with all new german cars, yes. this comment on baruth's blog recently sharply sums up this arriviste betaboi phenomenon : "If you’re distraught about the Macan demo now, wait until the 4cyl comes out with a $499 lease special and a whole new segment of buyers. I can tell you from experience (I sell Audis as well) that the ‘aspirational’ luxury bu ☝︎
pete_dushenski: i can see it
asciilifeform: closest analogy i can think of.
asciilifeform: i use it as a sort of scientific toy. picture, if you will, if you came to own a few grams of Pu
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: perhaps i ought to explain that i don't really treat bitcoin as money
asciilifeform: did i say most
pete_dushenski: though i eaaagerly await the results of the alphago bet now that 'most of alf's net worth' is on the line. that's sitg, folks.

assbot: Logged on 12-02-2016 17:35:04; asciilifeform: but i think i spent more of my life adlaiing than not
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for mircea_popescu from 7 to 10 with note: I have received more coin from Mircea than I have sent him (indirectly, respectively, directly - respectfully)
adlai has stopped telling people that bitcoin is not 'network marketed', i mean it is digital money, runs on networks, flows in tubes (both parallel, and series of)
ben_vulpes: before i confirm your work, please tell me how you determined that these were all unused? ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i contemplated 'fixing wallet' ages ago, but doing so was complicated by the fact that i REALLY, ~REALLY~ do not like spending coin.
asciilifeform: i would malleate own tx to low-s atm but i don't have a handy proggy written for this
asciilifeform: but i'd be curious to see what mircea_popescu has in mind
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've already unsheathed the knives
asciilifeform: 1) it was a good chunk of my net worth 2) it was a surrender to shitgnomery which i still don't properly understand
asciilifeform: send perfectly valid tx, now i have to figure out a way to double-spend own tx, failed to make a bet in time, and may very well end up in limbo
asciilifeform: i have my wrath bit set, re: the high-S thing
