ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, could you be more specific please!
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, sorry what are you talking about not working?
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, my 'half-lie' model applies to everything that is new and being built.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, and more importantly those words allow the problem to be fixed.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, well the main problem is that you need to reserve your hardest edge for when you need it the most. I've spend very long hours discussing very deep technical points without calling something "idiotic". It can be broken, wrong, unexpected, totally incompatible, etc. Those words are more specific.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: SEC piece: the use of rsa signing is not unknown among u.s. bureaucrats;
ughlol: bye ninjashogun, mircea_popescu, Dimsler <3, only!! :)
ughlol: mircea_popescu: <3 ^_^
ughlol: mircea_popescu: 19
ughlol: and mircea_popescu, thanks for pointing out that rent-seeking thing.. I think I understand what you mean. :) I'll work on changing the idea and creating a prototype! <3
ughlol: maybe then mircea_popescu would be interested! :)
ughlol: mircea_popescu: maybe youre a mix of both?
ughlol: lol mircea_popescu :P
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'snatchat.' 'twatter.'
ughlol: mircea_popescu: done. Will do :)
ughlol: mircea_popescu: do you have any suggestions on how I may modify the idea to expand the pie instead of redistribute it?
ninjashogun: mirceau_popescu- not really. VC's make VERY few seed-stage investments. mostly series A.
ughlol: mircea_popescu: So I would need to create an economic activity that expands the pie
ughlol: mircea_popescu: I agree.. yes.
ughlol: mircea_popescu: quite honestly, no..
ughlol: mircea_popescu: you didn't tell me, you said I need to change the idea. Completely? In what way?
ughlol: I wanted to interact with mircea_popescu ..
ughlol: I was very impressed with mircea_popescu's suggestions last time.. thought I would give it a shot.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, yes, this is the big defense of trolls. That if it does succeed it's luck, if it fails then obviously it's because it was a dumb idea just as shown by the trolls.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, what do you mean? http://trilema.com/2014/you-cannot-fix-a-machine-by-just-power-cycling-it-with-no-understanding-of-what-is-going-wrong/
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, I saw your article on ughlol and think it completely misrepresents ughlol's idea and is extremely unfair. As long as it includes no identifying information, it's a simple troll and abuse of your power - which is fine. It will disappear off the Internet and nobody will read it again. However it is in no way accurate based on my conversation with him.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Thanks. WOnder how long it will take for the SEC position to align with the reality of MPEx as SRO
ughlol: mircea_popescu: a different idea how?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Is the timestamp on that last email correct?
ughlol: mircea_popescu: simple question, if i create a prototype for the app that i want to build, would you even consider investing in it?
ughlol: mircea_popescu: yes, a little bit.
Dimsler: mircea_popescu, which post are they talking about
ughlol: mircea_popescu: Can you spare 10mins on pm, or you want me to gtfo like everybody else wants?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: sec: lol!
ughlol: mircea_popescu: I wont ask you about investment. Just want to learn and understand your opinion. I read your blog article, and what you say makes a lot of sense. Thats why.
ughlol: mircea_popescu: let me know if you have 10minutes to spare.. after that, I'll not bother you.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: bam!
Dimsler: mircea_popescu, tell the troll to leave
benkay: holy shit mircea_popescu!
ughlol: I wanted to speak to mircea_popescu .

ughlol: mircea_popescu: Now you understand why I wanted to pm?
ughlol: mircea_popescu: Interesting indeed, but ofc, I am looking for investment.. You can call yourself a venture capitalist, investor, angel investor or whatever you like :)
ughlol: mircea_popescu: mind a pm?
ughlol: mircea_popescu: now, getting straight to the point, do you invest? =P
ughlol: mircea_popescu: found out you're a billionaire.. sorry to have spoken rudely the other day
dignork: mircea_popescu, but googling for "us passport sample" gives plenty of much more beleivable exmaples
dignork: mircea_popescu, so the only problem he found is that you;re not supposed to smile on photo-id, lol
bitcoinpete: also, was this sarcastic or serious? 01:47:56mircea_popescu:"Being quiet and studious is broadly unknown in a western culture that prizes views, likes and the inane extraversion required to generate them." no see, that's attacking people's self esteem.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: totally.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: sharpened and ready

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you recall, i found you in the first place because of a letter from mpoepr. she was never anything other than impeccably polite to me.
mircea_popescu: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mmrwmeqj1qin4ceo1_500.jpg << this chick's more loaded.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: No I'm trying to find the link now, it's a really weird little paper that nobody I mention it to has heard of.

bitcoinyeezus: mircea_popescu only knows that by volume owned statistic because he's actually the owner of the 'satoshi hoard'.
hdbuck: mircea_popescu: gosh was convinced it was you ^^
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: haha beyond beyond.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol!
artifexd: mircea_popescu Your 1 million atc wall on x-bt.com is gone. Eaten up.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's so special about those?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform https://images.encyclopediadramatica.es/9/90/Maddox_irl.jpg btw.
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, I have no knowledge of a radar indentifying how long an object is or whatever
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, he could stay at a reasonable safe distance while still being close enough to show as 1 spot on the radars imo
BingoBoingo: Mats_cd03: It's the fancy spelling

diametric: mircea_popescu: I see your point, maybe not harm at its basic level. Intent has a lot to do with it.
diametric: mircea_popescu: when is your bitcoin conference?
diametric: mircea_popescu: quite the commotion you you started with that bet
benkay: mircea_popescu re: hardness http://oglaf.com/habeas-corpus/
benkay: mircea_popescu Hirethestache i'm suggesting using the user-specific inbound address.
benkay: mircea_popescu Hirethestache doesn't CB allocate users a specific receipt address?
benkay: honestly it's probably tuning itself for grbble queries, mircea_popescu.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu lmao I'll have to look for those next time I'm at the public library
benkay: mircea_popescu: i guess 2012's a while ago in buttyears

mircea_popescu: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/20jxdg/bitcoin_baron_bets_bitcoin_beats_berkshire/cg40y9y
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a turd that port scans wantonly would appear to be uncommonly poor workmanship even for usg.
khersonus: mircea_popescu: for example?
khersonus: mircea_popescu: why not run your options system with your own pricing index? it seemed to me that your two complaints about bitcoincharts were that an exchange pushed doge data, and they didn't remove mtgox. Couldn't you do better yourself?
khersonus: mircea_popescu: btw, been reading through your blog, good stuff (and some... weird stuff)
khersonus: mircea_popescu: that there have been a large number of scams in bitcoin as a result of the "owner takes all the coins" thinking
freeroute: mircea_popescu: cool, I'll give them a read.
freeroute: mircea_popescu: hmm, I was under the impression that OT was still being developed

freeroute: mircea_popescu: difficult. I'd say both, I wouldn't trust it more then I would trust security through obscurity
Mats_cd03: of party (you, her, and third_party), the following set [(third_party,her), (you,her), (you,third_party)] represents who can collude to screw you, third_party, and her
cazalla: steven-__: he won't attend conferences unless they have a sexual harassment policy in place as well, the guy is a total SJW
Mats_cd03: people say the same things about bitbet operations, but this time they accuse third_party in the same breath
nubbins`: steven-__: golden hookers at conferences?
joecool: mircea_popescu: makin it rain
mircea_popescu: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/20k63o/almost_50000_are_being_bet_that_1_btc_will_reach/
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: maybe the "yes" bettors figure bitbet can keep their coins safer than they can?
joecool: mircea_popescu: yeah iknorite?
ThickAsThieves: <mircea_popescu> i'm really blown away by the yes bets. /// why's that?
