AdrianG: how do i obtain voice on join?
adlai: actual quote from meatwot-pope: "if somebody executes a death warrant against somebody trying to improve bitcoin, i'll fund and execute one against them myself" (don't judge him, he's prone to angry outbursts) ☟︎
assbot: Confirmed: I'm banned from Apple Stores. ... ( http://bit.ly/1Wd5vXQ )
asciilifeform: i suppose height of my career was as a penniless student: 1 key ☟︎
asciilifeform: adlai: i think phf was asking about 'p'
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 01:14:18; mircea_popescu: for one thing, i have yet to see a tx that cost 0.1 btc fixed fee, which is what wires cost. for the other, credit cards are UNIVERSALY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WIRES.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-01-2016#1370572 << ~to the merchant.~ (and yes, priced in.) but h is speaking to konsooomers, who 'if i don't see it, it doesn't exist and doesn't possibly affect me' ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 01:08:41; BingoBoingo: Looks like I missed https://archive.is/9Kmlb
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 00:52:44; phf: asciilifeform: in your pgp version are you getting rid of the whole keyring concept? i assume the switch is to "a folder full of ascs"?
BingoBoingo: https://i.imgur.com/dIA0kWk.jpg
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yes, but I can only ever name one at a time and never specify and ordering lest I jinx the list. This is still feeling now like an alt universe version of 2012-2013 ☟︎
asciilifeform: i still remember my first 3m product
mircea_popescu: i think the best igot were 3m
mircea_popescu: i forget, yellow.
mircea_popescu: actually the ddr metallic-something tapes of the era were much better than everything i saw since.
asciilifeform: i have floppies from before i was born, that still read ok
mircea_popescu: so i saved it on another tape.
mircea_popescu: THEN i figurd out the tape could get damaged
mircea_popescu: i had it saved on tape.
mircea_popescu: what can i say. you got me.
mircea_popescu: did i tell the story of the utility program i wrote in basic ?
mircea_popescu: this vaguely reminds me of me when i was 6.
mircea_popescu: "The Video is just a small sample that can get you started with Your Blog. Each subject is also reinforcement for ideas that You can use in your Life. Example .. The Ideas that I give for a Doctor can easily be modified and applied to another business or Passion. The basics of How a Doctor can monetize her Blog can also be applied to a person with a Coin Collection."
mircea_popescu: "I have and I am continuing to make posts relating to different Occupations and Passions that can Profit and or Benefit from having a Blog. I will give a touch of ideas of HOW a Blog can Help each topic."
mircea_popescu: i'm sure that's how they got it. not from random usg tendrils washing billions in "advertising".
mircea_popescu: but i think ima stop listening to people who don't have what i want (tits)
mircea_popescu: up until they run into one of the people that go by the principle that "if i see you armed you're dead."
BingoBoingo: That's the other good reason it wouldn't have been linked if I found it in time. It's like Cryptsy screaming their were hacked after their end has already entered the record. Too late.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, i have yet to see a tx that cost 0.1 btc fixed fee, which is what wires cost. for the other, credit cards are UNIVERSALY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WIRES. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell bitstein I missed that original piece by Mike Hearn. I see no reason to link it or an archive of in in the Qntra article. Mike Hearn hasn't had a say on any subject in a long time. Why should he get one about himself?
BingoBoingo: Looks like I missed https://archive.is/9Kmlb ☟︎
phf: asciilifeform: in your pgp version are you getting rid of the whole keyring concept? i assume the switch is to "a folder full of ascs"? ☟︎
mod6: ;;later tell PeterL I guess also, if that doesn't resolve the issue, there could be something weird going on with your gpg import. might have to investigate more with you.
mod6: now i will look at PeterL's issue.
assbot: Logged on 14-01-2016 21:32:41; mircea_popescu: i suspect that at the root of the complexity-seeking behaviours is the deeply internalized if very infantile fear that if others understand what you did they won't respect you for doing it. because hey, 5yo doesn't understand what parents do.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-01-2016#1370343 << i see this constantly ☝︎
adlai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-01-2016#1369694 << I hope you don't mean anything that makes it ~easier~ to use (treatises in latin are not included, but a bitch to write) ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 14-01-2016 03:31:31; ben_vulpes: i do not see the point at all in differentiating between txnen-which-are-relayed and txn-which-are-mined
mircea_popescu: haven't i derped enough about okcupid on trilema ?!
BingoBoingo: Ah no. I jsut suspected you might be writing a post. Then when you said it wasn't going into a post decided to jinx it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i thought you meant you wanted to use it or something.
mircea_popescu: but i guess who knows teh future huh.
mircea_popescu: should that happen, which seems improbable, i'll just... fish another one ?
PeterL: anyway, I am off to get dinner, will check back in later sometime
PeterL: maybe? alf and mircea I copied key off net and into file, they show up fine in v list, the other two I imported into gpg key and then exported to a file
mircea_popescu: PeterL the script looks ok i have nfi how it could put out the output you show.
trinque: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/d8baa878-8c30-47bb-ba86-f1a9d7c45877/?raw=true << I get normal output.
mircea_popescu: i meant the script. v.pl
PeterL: no, I looked at the files, they are each different
PeterL: I think it should have a different fingerprint for each person, but it is showing the same for everybody
PeterL: so I was trying out v, version 99997, http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/14a90ef2-4619-4c89-b976-dede86778384/?raw=true I think something is wrong?
ascii_butugychag: i'd like to live to see it, even.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'm short a woman currently, so how about you lot get busy making some replacements.
thestringpuller: "Pointless : I guess sooner or later I'll lose, because idiocy has infinite hitpoints."
ascii_butugychag: so i'm not seeing any actual defeat here
thestringpuller: i forgot. sometimes they just sprinkle crack on nigger homeowners and call it a day.
thestringpuller: i guess how cops only catch some of the criminals not all of them.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i don't recall any other scammer being as vocal after they failed.
mircea_popescu: what did you expect him to do, "i am an abject failure that decided to go up against better men, who first warned me and then turned me inside out like a glove" ?
ascii_butugychag: l0l i'm still waiting for an ~actual~ seeeekrit
brg444: I've no idea
brg444: I'm seeing that now :/
BingoBoingo: brg444: I'm working on the Qntra piece on the NYTimes piece
mircea_popescu: i suspect that at the root of the complexity-seeking behaviours is the deeply internalized if very infantile fear that if others understand what you did they won't respect you for doing it. because hey, 5yo doesn't understand what parents do. ☟︎
ascii_butugychag: could i become a respectable sumo wrestler in the time i take on the train, aha.
mircea_popescu: i... shot him an email.
ascii_butugychag: i think in the time it takes to even read that page, you could write a quite respectable v-tron...
ascii_butugychag: so i looked into what folks did in the dark ages prior to 'v'
idkwhat2dowithmy: BingoBoingo I've been reading your stuff on qntra
thestringpuller: so gavin conceded >> http://gavinandresen.ninja/classic-unlimited-xt-core << "In the long run I think everything will work out fine, no matter what happens with the block limit."
shinohai: I'm shocked not a single person has left feedback on that MP account lol
mircea_popescu: i dunno what that is.
mircea_popescu: i do ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i dun have one. << I swore you had one with mebbe 5 posts or something
thestringpuller: I'm green eyed black person, but that doesn't count.
thestringpuller: I blame the VC-fueled derps. Others blame the school systems.
Atomicat: thestringpuller: I think mircea_popescu should lower the price bacuase the bitcoin was not this high at that time.
thestringpuller: Yea he was the kissinger of napoleon from what I'm reading.
thestringpuller: I'm reading about him right now and his diplomacy in france.
Atomicat: How can I register on MPEX and is there any profittable assets to invest in currently?
thestringpuller: f. scott fitzgerald really didn't get experience "the rich life", it's just interesting to me that "old miners" operate similar to "old money". i do find it intriguing the proletariat of America found that book so fascinating in declaring "the american dream" dead.
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-01-2016#1370176 I suspect bitfury is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TMSC ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i don't trust jgarzik's ability to correctly account for a business venture, for one thing.
thestringpuller: i had a theory the "profitable" miners (ones that got in early before major difficulty increase vis-a-vis jgarzik getting first avalon miner and paying it off in 1 month), will drop the price to push other miners offline.
Atomicat: mircea_popescu: I really appriciate it.
DerpUnion: thestringpuller: think i might have read this b4, but will go thru it again, thx
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: oh yea. it's zero sum. I have that saved somewhere around here.
thestringpuller: I can't get the numbers to work to make mining profitable. I don't see how it would be possible. It's like flushing BTC down a toilet.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c here's a thought, in http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/ might be a good idea to hide users not seen in i dunno, a quarter ? a year ? something ? explained, and with link for "full list". ☟︎
gribble: evoorhees was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 years, 25 weeks, 5 days, 15 hours, 6 minutes, and 32 seconds ago: <evoorhees> I need to go for now, on later
gabriel_laddel: ;; later tell adlai I was referring to the dataflow paradigm.
gribble: I currently have notes waiting for ben_vulpes, cazalla, crypt0queen, hey, joseph_young, kako, M-John, mike_c, nubbins`, pierre_rochard, psztorc, saifedean, TheNewDeal, therealascii, Ukto, Ukyo, whaack, and Wolf`.
Atomicat: Can I register with assbot using a bitcoin address?
Atomicat: Yep, that's what I meant
Atomicat: I think it needs to be updated.
Atomicat: I following this guide: http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2014/04/11_bitcoin-assets-new-wot-and-voice-model.html
PeterL: but I might be wrong
PeterL: <thestringpuller> mircea_popescu: do you have contacts for the mining world? last time I checked everyone in that world was some level of scammer. << people offering "mining services" might all be scammers, but there might be people mining for themselves who are not scamming
Atomicat: mircea_popescu: I have registered with gribble.
