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.
ughlol: bye ninjashogun, mircea
_popescu, Dimsler <3, only!! :)
ughlol: mircea
_popescu: <3 ^
_^
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: 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, 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?
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.
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.
mircea_popescu: steven-
__ that's like rather old #suckstobeleah posturing neh ?
benkay: mircea
_popescu: released on trilema?
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 ^^
artifexd: mircea
_popescu Your 1 million atc wall on x-bt.com is gone. Eaten up.
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
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 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
benkay: mircea
_popescu: still unspent?
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
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?
