ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: sounds like they let it burn off, which'd keep it moderate. the problem
usgderps suffer from is *not* letting it burn.
mircea_popescu: anyway. bitcoin is bitcoin. the various "i can't believe it's not bitcoin" scams the
usg has been trying to push are just that, margerine ~nobody cares about (notwithstanding every nigger out there is trying to pretend like they're eating it an' lovin' it)
pete_dushenski: , it would've been a winner. but no, he had had to
usg.gavin all over the place and draw dumb straight lines into infinity.
pete_dushenski: couldn't find this in the logs (so apologies if it's a repost) but holy shit is
usg.btc scraping the bottom of the barrel if fatso karpeles is being resurrected as "cto" of privateinternetaccess (vpn)
http://archive.is/XusOQ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, yes, but your mapping is incorrect. soviets had a lot of pre-existing fat to burn down in 1920s lulzfest.
usg arguably had same in the 70s, when they started with "rights for wife in divorce and woman in workplace" nonsense. it's been half a century, there's nothing left to eat in the great empire of yore.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, the true reason "no need to optimize on that axis" is because it's a flying machine that doesn't threaten the
usg.
ben_vulpes: in other
usg idiocies, i recently found a dood who achieved the not-insignificant feat of a constant propspeed belt-drive GAS ENGINE QUADCOPTER butbutbut the rotor pitch variation mechanism RUNS OVER WIFI
mircea_popescu: o look,
usg."prime minister" of pakistan got shot a little.
mircea_popescu: in fact, the proper sources of tmsr hardware are, in order, a) confiscated
usg hardware and b) its own iron outside the reich. that 2017 ended with 0% a and 0% b, and 2018 will likely end with 0%a and whatever%b has no bearing on this : there's always 2019, there's always uci, etcetera.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-05#1810271 << i suspect that there is no physical operation involved, it is 100% chumpatronics, like all other subjects of
usg.startupism at this point
mircea_popescu: apparently
usg came to terms with llvm failing in its strategic goals being unavoidable by now.
mircea_popescu: the general is that there exists no reliable bitcoin price signal. most (by VERY far most) bitcoin transactions are handled otc, and not reported, and usually settle over non-economic considerations. for instance -- most of the btc the
usg has historically lost on the market in its half dozen or so attempts to mainipulate the price were obtained by theft and extortion, not by economic activity, and consequently they didn't ha
mircea_popescu: mother[m], the republic doesn't much care for
usg pretense, "regulation" or otherwise. why would you ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose he wasn't here for the gavin beheading, imagines the
usg can even protect its agents or something like that.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i don't think the
usg is capable of representing me at all.
mircea_popescu: for the record, pirate was also indicted by the us circus at ~our~ pressure, and only after it became obvious to the
usg that i am actually making it impossible for him to be of any further "use".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, consider though -- we actually have unmatched synergy here too. if you turn
usg moolah here and then lose it to pay for eg pizarro rack, you got an engine!
a111: Logged on 2018-05-03 04:03 mircea_popescu: they're uniquely dazed once i explain as sovereign over the
usg crapolade, i actually have the power to unilaterally forgive that for them.
mircea_popescu: they're uniquely dazed once i explain as sovereign over the
usg crapolade, i actually have the power to unilaterally forgive that for them.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you'd of course expect
usg.nsa ie the department of scientifically socialistic-flavoured numbers have ampler resources at its disposal than a shoestring sexploitation outfit in canuckistan.
mircea_popescu: just in case you're still belabouring under the misapprehension that the
usg puppet show is a "field" with "experts" and whatnot, that is.
ben_vulpes: which, make no mistake, is precisely what you're doing. pulling refuse from the
usgstani fabrication pipeline and "oh dear sir or madam, this posey to spare your child from the plague i mean hailofbullets"
mircea_popescu: i thought lisp stuff for money is the province of a few remainder whitebeards in
usg.missiles grandfathered contracts.
mircea_popescu: intel "solving" thge wholly hallucinated (if self-servingly) non-"problem" of "smaller process" is not helping me. it's helping "its shareholders", ie
usg.
BingoBoingo: They were promised laser spears and flying rocket Pyramids.
USG.Disney fucked up not aligning Wakanda with our hero Thanos.
mircea_popescu: everyone else has the ready excuse : i'm with
usg because who else would give a straw hat for the asshole of a barely literate black woman ? ~condolezza rice.
mircea_popescu: ckang, no, it's when his entirely deranged mental state became a lot more difficult to "hide", in the sense usual
usg.zek "hides" his being raped daily, from himself.
mircea_popescu: i'd be surprised if not a full half of the aspirational 14% is firmly convinced there's MORE THAN ONE man hour / hour spent by me/
usg/god/aliens/whoever specifically on their case.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-21#1804343 << blocks are immutable by implementations ; this is both the source of the observation that "bitcoin corrupts absolutely", ie, it is superlative to anything the
usg can come up with ; and the whole fucking point of the protocol in the first place. can trust evil people to do your shit, because bitcoin promises it will enforce upon them the dilemma "either be ENTIRELY impotent, or els
☝︎ mircea_popescu: hmm, there was an earlier episode with some sort of "publishing dirt on
usg corps and shorting with crypto" unacknowledged F.DERPs rehash.
mircea_popescu: basically it's an extension of the groupon scam (hey, anyone "excited" by the "perspectives" of
usg's "business" and "entrepreneuriat" ever think of groupon anymore ? that whole hype bubble of "global warming" / "ozon depletion" whatever popped and... ??? )
mircea_popescu: it's funny how
usg history repeats itself : the elite uses the mass to rape the middle class. guy with a little dough and a little brain gets eaten into this "pay the brahmin to use the cattle herd" scheme again and again and again.
mircea_popescu:
usg trying to leverage the fact that idiots stick together whereas intelligent people jwz, into this situation where they keep shitting turds larger than what you can fit in head and so "one man's guess is as good as any other's" and "we don't actually know it's a scam" hurr durr.
mircea_popescu: in fact, the whole tits for bits thing is 100% equivalent to entirety of
usg economy. "show up for work".
mircea_popescu:
usg inmate, produces 0, eats epsilon, is taxed 0. french landslave produced epsilon, was taxed 10% epsilon, ate .9 epsilon.
ben_vulpes: i am familiar with this, also the 'tax of peasants was hilariously low as far as
usgstani inmate is concerned'
mircea_popescu: legal to be "married" to as many women as you please as long as you don't attempt to register it with the
usg.deedbot
mircea_popescu: it all comes down to WHAT is the special purpose. mind that the direction the bitcoin node os is taking is towards ~special purpose hardware~. this is very fucking different, whether you have special purpose hardware run by general purpose osen, or whether you have ibm at clone consumershit emulated into republican sanity by
usg's flaour of special purpose os.
mircea_popescu: and perhaps worthy of noting here, that the "trend" "emerging" from
usg's own "computer security" roadside act cum flea circus, is towards special-purpose os. because that's what they mean by "security".
trinque: if
usglandia were populated with these christians rather than the others, it'd be *far* more tolerable. I've always gotten along with them, because the skull contents tend to be orderly, even if they originate at "because the book"
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, and the "that many attacks against RSA dont work with ECC" claim is especially odious, as it comes from a single source, which is a criminal org with a history of manipulatively lying. what happens is that
usg publishes every ~useless "attack" on rsa and withholds the few ~working~ attacks on ecc from publishing. then you get this situation where seemingly, for the very naive surface-seekers, "ecc has advantages". it h
mircea_popescu: at least this one admits it.
usg still trying to claim it's a legitimate state.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-11#1796214 << yes, except for the part where "hashrate is gonna protect you". the whole POINT of taking some of the information OUT of the blockchain is to try and reduce the protection of hashrate, and make everyone dependent on protection by non-hashrate. which is WHY this is
usg move against bitcoin. i don't need no stinking fuckwit to "help me", and i don't care why he thinks i do. i know wh
☝︎ mircea_popescu: running trb offers a firm guarantee that you will have your coins perpetually. running the various
usg-sponsored "i can't believe it's not bitcoin" margerine offers a firm guarantee that a) any time you spend with them will be wasted on a long enough timeline and b) any resources you spend with them will be worthless on a long enough timeline. so bear that in mind.
mircea_popescu: do not expect time/effort invested in
usg-crap will yield anyhthing but tears for you.
mircea_popescu: avgjoe there already is a double standard : 1address bitcoin are bitcoin ; everything else is
usg-crap.
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a lot for you to read wrt to why specifically segwit is a
usg-driven attack against bitcoin, and not supported by the bitcoin foundation. perhaps the recent
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-11#1795944 is a good starting point ; but generally the logs are your friends, search them.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: there's this pattern in
usg attempts to subvert bitcoin, as discussed in that thread and generally in the logs ; it's "success" depends on the ignorance of the userbase, which is what separates very sharply the bitcoin "users" into republican and imperial sets. the latter have some dust and reddit.
phf: mircea_popescu: of course, that's
usg pseudo-wot that's maintained through all the ways that we laugh about here
lobbes: not much there, I reckon.
usg honeypots
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you recall, freenode proxies pre "openinternetaccess" ie
usg takeover.
mircea_popescu: where's all the pantsuit press discussing "the embattled
usg, ever more isolated on the world stage" ? what, this rhodesia doesn't get the usual rhodesian press ?
mircea_popescu: wait, wait, philipinoy no longer on list of
usg pet states ?! BUT THE SUCCESS OF INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMACIES AND INTRIGUES?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: the large problem is that, generally unbeknownst to the victims of
usg child abuse, they are actually not fit for any kind of intellectual work anymore, nor will ever be.
mircea_popescu: and it is EXACTLY child abuse. some people take five year olds and teach them how to take penis up their asshole.
usg takes five year olds and teaches them to be ashamed of saying "i, therefore", and affraid of saying "this is too much to read".
mircea_popescu: principles of
usg diffusely outside of
usg.microsoft,
usg.intel,
usg.ibm and other enummerable badness". that about work ?
mircea_popescu: well, i guess we'll have to have a terminology standard then. how about this : fsf = "a little coven of pantsuit retards defined by loyalty to rms and no further characteristics", ie fsf is about on the level of importance of "starslatecodex" ; gnu = "symbol with no concrete reference, sometimes used as g- or gnu- prefix by marketeers exacly like the string 'super-'" ; open = "group of
