BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> BingoBoingo, ahahah; ftr
though
that is ...true from all my experience as it is, yes << Living in
the hostel, you observe
this a lot.
lobbes: right. right. bah okay. I got work
to do on my archive-related shit anyway
trinque: this
thing doesn't need any more chatter; let
the parties working work, and see what comes of it.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-02-17 04:49 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is apparently determined
to maliciously run s.nsa into
the ground, and pin
the corpse on asciilifeform .
lobbes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-17#1784295 << I still
think
that
this assumption, which you seem
to be basing your current actions on, is a flawed assumption. But whatever, I'll still
tune in
to (and
try
to assist with, if assistance wanted) whatever asciilifeform (and ben_vuples mod6 and co.) produce. A split republic is still better
than none as far as my individual fitness is concerned. Just... dumb.
☝︎ lobbes: Dick-pulling aside, it seems
there is Schism 2.0 happening (which I
think is fucking retarded but okay). Are
there going
to be
two republics now or wat?
This goes beyond a mere ISP, hence hard
to enumerate
the future.
mod6: Stand-by, we're
trying
to get
that communicaiton out now. I'm reading
the
things.
diana_coman: mod6 I support
tmsr isp but atm I am at a loss as
to what it is and how
to actually support it
mod6: This is
the moment when you affirm your support, or you do not, and
throw your hat in
the ring
to
take
the reigns from mod6.
☟︎ mod6: But I'll not sit by and watch a bunch of in-fighting embarrass all
the hardwork and effort we've put in. I'd rather burn out,
than fade away.
mod6: I'll repeat myself: If you want a republic
to exist, and you believe
the foundation
to be a good
thing, support us. I've given seven years. Maybe it's
time for someone who knows better
than ole mod6.
diana_coman: I for one will certainly wait patiently for
the bbisp communications when
they come
mod6: diana_coman, hanbot, same offer stands
to you as well.
trinque: asciilifeform: so
then read
the last 10-15 lines and
try
to see what
trinque's gesturing at
mod6: <+trinque> I don't
think now's
the
time for
that. lest rustled jimmies, not more. << Ok, well let me know if you want
to. I'm ready
to step down and
take my leave of all of
this.
trinque: how do you rub
the dog's nose in
the shit?
trinque: asciilifeform: see how I
told you one
thing, and you
tried
to misdirect me with another? or no?
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, ahahah; ftr
though
that is ...true from all my experience as it is, yes
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: One
thing I've learned people watching here... It
turns out boys are
the shy gender.
☟︎ trinque: holy shit,
the sudden influx of offers
trinque: I don't
think now's
the
time for
that. lest rustled jimmies, not more.
mod6: trinque: I
think you'd be a suitable replacement for me.
trinque: so reform.
take your
texan short fuse and lengthen, or what, wrong file, sorry.
☟︎ diana_coman: asciilifeform,
the only way I can follow
that is as purely ideal "republic as a notion" etc. perhaps
true but not particularly... effective let's say
diana_coman: mod6, a stake in something is never "debt only" really
the way I see it; honestly, would you offer
to
take an "iou" while at
the same
time being
totally unwilling
to even give advice if asked?
☟︎ trinque: asciilifeform got
thonked on his head because he has emotional walls which repel certain categories of correction
mod6: trinque: would you like
to
take over my spot as Co-Chairman
to
the Bitcoin Foundation?
trinque: gotta say
this dick-pulling soup, sharing of our feelings, and etc., is
tiresome.
lobbes: perhaps, but why not delay
the death part of
the death-rebirth cycle
lobbes: as no one will understand how
to use; "hammer in nails with mircoscope"-ism
lobbes: without
the ideology
to
teach future generations, what good are
the
tools
trinque: republic's a social mechanism. kid with his
toys by himself is not a republic
mod6: diana_coman: I don't see how a new venture is better off saddled with debt
to it's former master. It was
to be successful, it needs a fresh start.
shinohai: I admit
to have suffered dejection in past couple of days which had me questioning
the future of Republic, but honestly, what else is
there?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-11 13:57 mircea_popescu: alternatively, i have no problem
taking say 1.5 worth of absolutely senior convertible equity in your continuant venture, however you call it.
lobbes: diana_coman has it I
think; why "split" resources when moar brains = stronger republic
lobbes: can regain again, what! You contribute a lot,
that does not evaporate
lobbes: asciilifeform: did he ask,
though? Your work doesn't need
to -end- just because delorded, or excluded from specific flight etc
diana_coman: mod6, yes, mommy is one
thing but not
the only
thing
mod6: diana_coman: All of
this is in
the logs, and on
trilema "Don't have
time
to be a mommy", et. al.
diana_coman: as lobbes points out
there are valuable resources in
the forum, even if now reduced; not using
them looks weird let's say
mod6: If
the notion, ``there is no future for
the republic without an isp'' (
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783471) holds
true, and mircea_popescu, hanbot, and diana_coman wish
to see
the Republic continue, we should all be putting aside differences
to further
the Republic.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-02-17 19:17 mod6:
The
thought here was
that
the ISP venture was
too much
trouble for Mr. P.
to be bothrered with, so we
thought we'd do actually what he would have wanted: Stepped up
to run it ourselves.
The Bitcoin Foundation has
taken many lumps over
the years for not having spent any of
the endowment bestowed upon it. We
thought
this is
the perfect opportunity
to show
that we can be effective.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-17 05:51 lobbes: listen,
titles are meaningless. What matters is a) resources (of which mp always had) and b) ability
to be a
true "enzyme" for smart folx (mp again)
lobbes: Not just ISP venture, but Republic as a whole. A mind with experience like mircea_popescu's comes along very infrequently. I.e. "resources" in my earlier comment refer
to moar
than just capital >>
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-17#1784360 ☝︎ mod6: On a personal note, regarding "patience and support", I want
to let it be known
that it will be very hard if not impossible
to make
the ISP venture a success without
the support of specficially, mircea_popescu, hanbot, diana_coman - and ``Minigame''. We need your business here.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-04 14:17 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in other news i registered #loper-os and #asciilifeform defensively ; whenever you feel like building
them up say and i'll pass
them along.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: if
that's not enough
time, please
to speak up asap
trinque: ben_vulpes: I can comform my shopping
to your schedule. When does it need
to arrive?
mod6: Our plan is
to publish what are plan is, we're working on
that literally, right now.
☟︎ trinque has spoken
to ben_vulpes about having a box on
the first provisioning run
mod6: Are you speaking
to me,
trinque?
trinque thinks
this is a fine
thing
mod6: So, we're working on it. And I am seriously discouraged by
the line of commentary in here, as opposed
to support.
mod6: We don't have all of
the details sorted out as of yet -- and keep in mind it has been
TWO DAYS, since we even contemplated
this.
TWO DAYS.

☟︎ mod6: Upon
the failure of bbisp, and Mr. Popescu's leaving
TMSR,
The Bitcoin Foundation, in a last-ditch effort
to save
the ISventure and
the Republic (
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783471), has chosen
to
try
to determine how / if it can do
this without any outside interference.
☝︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-11-18 21:41 mircea_popescu: he's
the executed kind.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-18 21:41 mircea_popescu: nah,
there's
the retiring kind and
the executed kind of admiral.
trinque: doubtful
that also, or wouldn't be asked of so much.
mod6: <+hanbot> meanwhile, mod6 and ben_vulpes : why are
the "discussions" etc re bbisp not in
the logs? is
there some benefit in
their being private, contrary
to umpteen years of
the benefits of public discussion in said logs? << Hi hanbot. Let me
try
to answer here.
trinque: I don't know, don't like
to speak for people either.
trinque: hopefully you and mircea_popescu can resolve
this one
trinque: don't want
to repeat past mistakes
trinque: I recall one
time I got pissy and
tripled down on political strife over nothing.
trinque: I am not
tarnishing my reputation by
the wallet operating as anything other
than a mechanism.
trinque: the
thing works here, in pm, w/e

hanbot: sten. it's not a pretty place, and i have no idea why you'd want
to live
there.
