danielpbarron: so go start a forum thread
nubbins`: jurov a blessing from the king will do that.
nubbins`: if you see an error in a financial statement, do not speak up.
jurov: asciilifeform: so if i have an opinion about a fraud that does not directyl concern mne, i should stay silent? cuz this is not a democracy?
nubbins`: what i do give a shit about is people owning up to their mistakes
trinque: there's a difference between offending someone with the truth as a matter of tactics, and doing it to the exclusion of sense
danielpbarron: "do you disagree that X's corrosive attitude is a Bad Thing and subtracts from Y" is like a USG memo card for filipino spammers
nubbins`: for emphasis: Pros don't give a shit, it's the clueless twits and assorted pretenders that do.
nubbins`: Professional does not imply any restriction of form.ii You are free to be as offensive, annoying, disparaging, crass, crude or indecorous you feel the need or inclination to be. This includes any and all comments that in other, non-professional venues may be regarded as racist, sexist, chauvinist, fascist or whatever else. Pros don't give a shit, it's the clueless twits and assorted pretenders that do.
danielpbarron: nubbins`, you sound like a redditard
assbot: #bitcoin-assets rules and regulations on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1k32ZX6 )
nubbins`: asciilifeform do you disagree that mp's corrosive attitude is a Bad Thing and subtracts from otherwise good ___?
asciilifeform: 'rabbling' is a Bad Thing and subtracts from otherwise good argument.
nubbins`: asciilifeform got a link? i don't think he's said anything to me lately
nubbins`: you'd make a better profit bumming change outside the metro
asciilifeform: i could see a ' bbet shareholders believe that bbet is mismanaged ' angle, but ~it is THEIR business~ and not mine, and their one option is to get off the bus, as per the articles.
trinque: this even assuming that it was entirely a mistake and so on
danielpbarron: there hasn't been nearly enough volume on S.BBET to claim any sort of price falling, except for about a year ago when 10 or so bitcoin worth brought it from the 40s to the teens
nubbins`: now there's a logical leap
danielpbarron: there was a little bit of selling, i was on the recieving end of it
asciilifeform: incidentally, i am not seeing a bbet shareholder stampede
PeterL: so the only recourse shareholders have is to sell if they disagree with his decisions, maybe they could have brought suit for negligence before the rota when that was a thing?
jurov: asciilifeform: there's the simple question, if sending zerofee tx is acting "in good faith", that #b-a forum could answer
PeterL: is #b-a run, or does it just kinda go by itself?
nubbins`: it's about how #b-a is run
nubbins`: <+asciilifeform>nubbins`: it is difficult to have a useful discussion in the midst of 'your mother eats electric eeels. -- no YOUR mother. .. etc' << agreed, which is why i found hanbot's vulgarity very disheartening; she only jumped into the conversation to insult and vexate. mp's bringing my wife into it was a ludicrous response to me accusing him of fraud. my wife's not in the picture.
nubbins`: he's a small, sad man, nothing more than a mark karpeles with better book-learning. lucked his way into a windfall by recognizing bitcoin as an opportunity early on; just hasn't fallen on the sword yet.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: it is difficult to have a useful discussion in the midst of 'your mother eats electric eeels. -- no YOUR mother. .. etc'
nubbins`: his ad hominem attacks (called my wife an ugly broad!) reflected quite poorly on him as a person and as a leader of anything meaningful
nubbins`: asciilifeform just wondering: do you still think it's a drill?
PeterL: in michigan we don't even register as a party
asciilifeform: ftr nubbins` has a first-class cat.
PeterL: no, in Michigan they give us a ballot with both parties and we get to pick wich one we vote on
nubbins`: asciilifeform consider the case that i may consider my cat a steed. if i mount it, what happens?
PeterL: today is presidential primary here in mich, I havn't decided how to vote, half tempted to write in Rand Paul as a protest against all the idiots still running
asciilifeform: nubbins`: from rereading the log, you can see that mircea_popescu considers the 17 btc to be a justified cost-of-war thing.
asciilifeform: the ~only thing i know about mpb is that 1) it is roughly compatible with 0.6 and 2) he fixed the db locks bug years ago, and shared with me the patch, a while back, and it is in trb
nubbins`: PeterL stringent policing isn't a thing here anymore
assbot: 46 results for 'shall be delivered' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=shall+be+delivered
asciilifeform: nubbins`: she wrote a spiffy story,
asciilifeform: trinque: i was explaining to nubbins` et al that hanbot, whom he dislikes, is actually more of a proper 'asseteer' than i, whom he seems to respect.
asciilifeform: and my understanding to this day is that most #b-a folks originally appeared here because they were involved with one of these things
PeterL: you have a weird way of measuring things
asciilifeform: PeterL: assetronic is a thing
nubbins`: basically just a vexual without the youtube links
assbot: MPIF (F.MPIF) February 2016 Statement on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1LbxHJQ )
assbot: Successfully added a rating of -1 for hanbot with note: nobody. doesn't belong here.
asciilifeform: man in his 70s is automatically a von papen, and not a hitler
mircea_popescu: what ? makes a lot more sense than half his platform, not to mention all the others.
deedbot-: [» Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski] The Aviator and the flying Apple TV. - http://www.contravex.com/2016/03/08/the-aviator-and-the-flying-apple-tv/
asciilifeform: it is like a gaping black hole in your living room
mircea_popescu: and fwiw, i doubt anyone has the money, or had, in the past century. we're talking 50bn turkey dollars here. gates can, at most, make a foundation to greenhouse little hussein bahamas out in africa.
mircea_popescu: but as it is, i'm at best useful as a seed. tho from years of reading the logs it's apparent to me seed-cultural is actually a lot more sorely needed than seed-capital, but that's aside.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mircea_popescu found a chip fab between his sofa cushions yet ? << i don't have enough money to outright do this. if i had, i'd be outright doing this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my idea being that whatever you call it, both g and this p will be running a lot of common code in the cyrpto
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-03-2016#1426499 << mircea_popescu found a chip fab between his sofa cushions yet ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: yes, it is nice to link to a block or tx.
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2016 13:59:36; PeterL: B-A needs own: block explorer, keyserver, mining pool, server host, OS, chip fab, etc
mircea_popescu: to borrow a cristina-ism, "el proyecto nacional!!11"
mircea_popescu: but yes, the republic is currently short about twenty to fifty billion in filthy fiats and a few thousand to thirty million engineer hours, depending who's counting the hours. not depending on who's hiring the engineers tho, you ~can't hire for this.
PeterL: B-A needs own: block explorer, keyserver, mining pool, server host, OS, chip fab, etc ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall some discussion about running a b-a one, maybe last year.
jurov: when i tested my mempool hack, I just dropped any priority requirements to have mempool filled quickly. I was surprised there were quite a few spammy tx that neither blockexplorer even knew of.
assbot: A Miner Problem | Qntra ... ( http://bit.ly/1X9HdxL )
PeterL: http://qntra.net/2016/03/a-miner-problem/#comment-48144
mircea_popescu: "son, don't you want to marry this woman ?" "notrly." "well, you should!" "really ?" "yeah. except she's ugly." "well then ?" "but the other women are even uglier." "dad, you're really doing a bum job here."
asciilifeform: well, this might be because there is not actually a usable other linux.
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2016 05:15:34; ben_vulpes: ;;later tell nubbins` you're starting to sound a bit like tiberius!
ben_vulpes: perhaps rifle cost is actually proportionate to value of $item! heck, a month like 7/15 would cover the loa^Hss.
ben_vulpes: (couldn't possibly own stock, coins, can barely work a paste buffer much less gpg-tron, owns no real computers etc etc)
ben_vulpes only a curious kourt klown
mircea_popescu: one day s.mg is going to do somethingwild like i dunno, acquire a paper clip. watch out then.
mircea_popescu: at the rate this is going, bitbet actually needs to buy a significant pool, which would go for oh... 10-20k ? i guess ?
mircea_popescu: king, to spend just about enough to buy half a rifle to defend $item ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> what out-of-wot advice is this? and why send the wire twice instead of calling your drinking buddies who /use the same bank/ to ask if /their/ wires are in the habit of simply not showing up and what they've done in the past in the circumstances <<< you don't mean my drinking buddies who a) would take ANY explanation just as long as it doesn't mean gotta get off ass and b) would not be willing, broadly spea ☟︎
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell nubbins` you're starting to sound a bit like tiberius! ☟︎
ben_vulpes: near as i can tell, mircea_popescu went to pop a mining cartel and only caught a sybil.
assbot: Logged on 02-03-2016 18:06:28; mircea_popescu: you know how it sometimes happens that a platoon gets sent on a random patrol, ends up surprising a moving contingent of enemy, a flurry of radioing and reinforcing and whatnot happens and suddenly the front is in a new place ?
hanbot: BingoBoingo stick a ragdoll-Muhammad on it!
BingoBoingo hasn't sharpened pencils with sharpener in a long time.
asciilifeform: betcha tepes had a giant sharpener.
BingoBoingo: Was going to do it with arm powered crosscut saw, but probably picking up a reciprocating saw tomorrow.
BingoBoingo: Will only stay in that condition long enough to take a picture.
BingoBoingo: Well, there's a ~15-20 foot tree that grew up as a weed and was neglected. Before taking it all the way down will convert it to pointed stake as I believe alf suggested as an idea in much earlier discussion
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, cher was a teenage pop singer chick that successfully pivoted into a sort of softcore burlesque career pre dita von teese. also married to sony bono.
mircea_popescu: sometimes if you crack open an acaju nut, a tiny girl comes out, and you feed her various comestibles and eventually grows up into a slavegirl.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: a kaiju is one of those japanese monster from the films with the people in the suits
BingoBoingo assumes velvet fog is a tropical illness
asciilifeform: wats a kaiju
BingoBoingo: cher is a sort of kaiju
asciilifeform goes, and looks up, what was a cher, and what is a velvet fog.
mircea_popescu: <assbot> with note: Thinks screaming at the dike plugs the hole <<< wait, did i just get called a fat homosexual woman ?
shinohai: 'twas a special "HEavy Rescue Unit"
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Can you give me a quick ;tldw
BingoBoingo: In other news, is that a dick on the right side? https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Geomar-43-days-640x410.png

nubbins`: anyway, my deedify script generated a pubkey of 1EyQFmKg6PtARLgN2bKtNuDY28um1nbfFr

nubbins`: you owe me a satoshi if it feeds the same address as mine
