mircea_popescu: you know, this may actually make
a pretty decent show.
mats: so 'triggered' is
a thing now
mats: “Well, there’s been
a complaint about your talk.” He continued, “It’s from someone who is
a rape survivor and they said they will be triggered by your talk if there’s any rape in it.”
mircea_popescu: "For all the ways the manufactured crisis around the ClassicCoin hard fork push is made to seem more polished than the XTCoin manufactured crisis, the results of the effort somehow seem still more underwhelming." << word. ten times the effort,
a tenth of the result.
mircea_popescu: but hey, for
a generation of worthless retards that's in love with
a woman they've never met and will live or die depending on whether santa/thegovernment/isis paradrops them food & other supplies as needed... it makes perfect sense.
mircea_popescu: the very notion, you know, "we support
a code bundle that's not written yet".
mircea_popescu: for anyone that doesn't wish to remember that the march fork was healed over mp saying noncontroversial and wishes to see what happens once mp doesn't say that... proceeding on
a "vote" is the smartest move possible.
mircea_popescu: copypaste we think that voting is
a proved-to-work mechanism, in bitcoin.
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 16:19:27; mircea_popescu: so 300k car. what happens if i attach that 300k car to
a street pole and go ful lthrothle in the ist ?
copypaste: i can't recall if i've ever experienced that with the node i run, but i don't think i have as i run it on
a quite unstable network
copypaste: thestringpuller: yeah that does seem odd to me, likely
a bug. if it was running as
a daemon, it shouldn't exit due to an unstable network, at least one would assume
copypaste: hard to film an IRC log in
a manner that would be entertaining to the average TV watcher
thestringpuller: that's actually
a good idea for television. when btc businesses start failing and coming to MP for help, film it, and profit.
assbot: Logged on 16-01-2016 09:41:02; op_null2: He could have done the same thing with MPEX -- could have been
a huge altcoin trading site and made 1000's BTC in fees. he was an early mover.... I guess he alrady had too much BTC and didnt care about making more lol
mircea_popescu: so if i get
a busload of nude ukrainian chicks in shitzerland and keep them chained to
a basement wall "until they repay" bla bla, i'm basically being
a confederate, just like all the rest of 'em. right ?

a reception centre you are required to give up these financial assets in return for
a receipt." "refugees who win the right to stay and work in Switzerland also have to surrender 10% of their pay for up to 10 years until they repay 15,000 Swiss francs in costs."

a solid revenue stream when they banned topless gurlz
mircea_popescu: in fact, we are at
a crossroads - miner manufacturers have figured out at some point last year that cartelization is actually more productive in fiat terms for them than supplying the open market. by now they have the unmitigated cheek to publicly attempt to influence politics. imagine the outrage back in the day if BFL had dared to say what bitfury dares today.
mircea_popescu: course, it's impolitic to say this publicly, because hey, "we", ie the ploughing flies, absolutely LOVE to prop themselves on others' work, and so every derp pouring code into
a black hole he calls github feels his own personal fortune increased for some reason every time
a miner puts
a rig online.
mircea_popescu: well, maybe not that. but the problem is purely economic :
a quarter exahash is expensive as all fuck
copypaste: mircea_popescu: all that has to happen is
a fire in chinese mining farm ;)
thestringpuller: people being told "they aren't equal" seems to strike
a chord that brings up crazy emotion.
mircea_popescu: he probably did
a lot of talk therapy with nutty adolescent chicks or something.
assbot: Logged on 16-01-2016 08:17:23; BingoBoingo: I thought the whole sedition thing scared you off, or did the Bundy success inflate your balls at least
a little bit more?
mircea_popescu: well... the few sitcoms i knew came out in
a brief one-two year interval around 1990.
mircea_popescu: The series was created as
a spin-off of Cheers << ahahahaha omfg.
thestringpuller: it's just
a rehash of the simpsons at this point just with more juvenile humor.
assbot: Logged on 16-01-2016 05:57:11; copypaste: pete_dushenski: i've changed my opinion about you because you drive
a very nice car. keep up the good work
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-01-2016#1371985 << the other consideration is that europe is chock full of bad copies of the classical masters. and they all suck, except the few that don't. such as for instance rubens, who learned to paint by doing
a poor job of copying at first. or michelangelo, or anyone else. because yes, everyone that ever was
a master painter learned his craft by trying humbly to copy and f
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: dude what
a badass looking truck. how the fuck could the ammo churning, tailgate partying, truck racing subculture not buy this through the roof is well beyond me. but then again... i'll take the newton defense.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-01-2016#1371076 << i just remembered that 'international' made pretty much exactly this house-towing, sidewalk-shredding, lamppost-buckling "pick-up" from 2004 - 2008. called the 'cxt' and priced right at $100k. though it weighed 7 tonnes (15k lbs), it had
a 7.6l diesel engine with 220hp and 540 lb. ft. of torque and was capable of hauling or towing up to 6 tonn

thestringpuller: OMG. "The network is broken because it takes longer for payments to get confirmed. Who would wait 60 minutes or 14 hours for
a payment?!?" Holy fuck-wits, people eat this shit up? Why are these people so stupid? :(
mircea_popescu: it's complicated. for the true believer (not everyone who reads the books gives
a shit, you realise, though many do) faith is
a major factor, as measured in two things : uniques (on the theory that hey, god wouldn't allow the flock to scatter) and miracles (on the theory that nature is
a whore, and whoever she picks is king).
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's
a category in patristics, sorta like you know, the weird corner of the library. the TRULY weird corner.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: well the toomims are calling your bluff, but Gavin in his recent article realizes the uphill struggle and just knows that "hey it's probably not going to work out but worth
a shot", sometimes I wonder about that d00d. Eats glue but rather conscious of the actual situation.
mircea_popescu: there's at least nine thousand "denim-inations" the sum total of whose intellectual production adds up to half
a tract of an obscure irish preacher from 1840.
PeterL: I have never seen anything worthwhile on reddit, seems like
a place for idiots to gather and waste time/energy
thestringpuller: someone just compared Hearnia to Batman/Bruce Wayne. As
a batman true believer, I was hihgly insulted.
punkman: "Augur has also contributed $20,000 to an R&D project to transition the Ethereum network from
a proof of work (POW) to
a proof of stake (POS) system so it can operate at higher speeds, handle more transactions and thereby become more competitive"
punkman: "sold all but 1,000 BTC and 100,000 ETH via over the counter (OTC) trades" "opened up
a brokerage account to secure
a portion of our funds in relatively secure, short term US Treasury bonds, to earn some return above bank rate interest"
punkman: "Augur hedged
a significant portion of its holdings (13,500 BTC). Via itBit, Augur sold at an average of US$227 per BTC with $10/coin borrowing cost, netting the Project $217 per BTC." geniuses

☟︎ op_null2: interesting. I thought it was
a joke. seemed like he was giving himself bad odds
BingoBoingo: op_null2: One person took it and never returned with
a private key to claim it
cazalla: kingking190, hoping litecoin goes up doesn't seem like
a sound strategy that's all i'm saying
punkman: "If you have property worth more than 1,000 Swiss francs when you arrive at
a reception centre you are required to give up these financial assets in return for
a receipt." "refugees who win the right to stay and work in Switzerland also have to surrender 10% of their pay for up to 10 years until they repay 15,000 Swiss francs in costs."
☟︎ kingking190: cazalla, depens what you want? if you want
a girl who treats you good yes but if you mess with them there not like USA girls where they walk out....
cazalla: in that they are more subservient, treat you like
a real man without actually having to be one
kingking190: punkman, not talking about lending. talking about pulling
a loan out >_<
kingking190: you could pull out like 5 btc on
a 5% loan for 30 days
kingking190: Theres
a trick to getting loans out and make good money on them.
kingking190: ahh its fine just poking
a bit fun back :(
punkman: Twitch really missed out on
a solid revenue stream when they banned topless gurlz
☟︎ cazalla: because i have
a missus and i know that grows boring after the x month
kingking190: anyways why would i watch
a gamer girl play when i have one to grab right here ?
cazalla: kingking190, she's
a cam whore masquerading as
a gamer girl, problem is, porn is easily accessible, so i don't really need to see all these cam whores on sites like twitch.tv
cazalla:
a gamer girl? fuck, i hate them (no offense)
cazalla: not in the squat rack though, this sliding one where u stand in it like
a space man
cazalla: kingking190, nah prices are definitely down, picking up all these cheaps coins will give you
a hearnia!
BingoBoingo:
A lot of people have given it
a swing, but some write more regularly than others.
kingking190: pete_dushenski: get
a wife/ girl friend to help you with the pr0n.
pete_dushenski: kingking190: reading finance news/logs and blogging
a bit earlier, flipping through tumblr pr0n atm. pretty standard evening.
kingking190: pete_dushenski: i am not sure the book bag was
a love tap LOL >_> it was full at that time T_T
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: This came around the time Eve online was on its decline as
a #b-
a fad
BingoBoingo: Also discoveries made. Like coffee does
a much better job promoting wakefulness when it isn't just used as
a delivery vehicle for Irish cream.
kingking190: BingoBoingo, oh i'm sorry wish you the best of luck. stay sober! ( goes and grabs
a beer)
BingoBoingo: kingking190: I've only been sober for jsut under 3 months now. I'm still getting used to this whole deal that goes with not being
a blackout drunk. Serious lifestyle changes involved.
midnightmagic: BingoBoingo: Hrm. No, and that occupation has
a terrible name. I'm Canadian. The gun culture up here is mostly ex-americans and preppers and they bury themselves where nobody can find them.
kingking190: pete_dushenski, plus always have
a girl in the bed can't whine about that ^_^
BingoBoingo: I thought the whole sedition thing scared you off, or did the Bundy success inflate your balls at least
a little bit more?
☟︎ kingking190: when i met my wife she told me. " you got one year to find
a job you like or back to construction with you"
pete_dushenski: kingking190: so are you
a trader ? or what do you do ? you american ?
pete_dushenski: k. then go to the link and copy and paste it into
