HeySteve: well, I've accepted
a freelance writing contract for this weekend so I can't make any immediate changes. if someone is interested in editing it, I think it's worth doing before Banx assumes its next form

mircea_popescu: here's how
a qntrable 2 would look : "The original business plan said "X, Y and Z" in relevant part, and it attracted ~10 BTC. Then it was changed to "nonY and cvasi Z no mention of X" leaving the original investors hanging.

HeySteve: yes 36, not that I'm an expert in spotting scams but it seems clear this is
a company to be avoided
HeySteve: no I didn't make up
a number, I covered all the data and tallied the red flags as I went
mircea_popescu: that problem being... did you just MAKE UP
A NUMBER ? in
a discussion about an article that you submitted which was rejected for being very poorly written, which you wish to interpret as political, or stylistical, or anything but what the actual problem is ?
HeySteve: well ok, 1. the ICO was sustained for
a year+ because it didn't raise the projected revenue
mircea_popescu: and you'd better get to 36, because if you don't you have
a serious problem to contemplate.
HeySteve: 36 ref flags showing that it's
a scam (not sure if those are in the version you saw)

a good person
shinohai: I do wonder why there is
a picture of Dr. Stu Price on your blog now though.
Zuardi: !rate mircea_popescu 1 some kind of bitcoin legend, I am still figuring it out, probably
a good person
mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> re: xxxotica, the name sound like made for derps, and advertised to start at 8pm. iirc restaurants down there don't open until after that - for lunch << there isn't
a bunchy of these things to pick one from. this was THE ONLY THING HAPPENING THAT DAY IN THE WHOLE 12 MILLION STRONG "CITY"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <shinohai> "If this is
a scam, I want to be scammed more." <<< careful what you wish! << no, it's exact. and he'll get it too.
assbot: IBM’s Watson is such an effective spoofbot that he makes me want to say “DPASTE, IRC AND FUCK YOU” | Contravex:
A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (
http://bit.ly/1kzRJBx )
PeterL: pete_dushenski: Your blog pic is nice, but you should switch to
a double-winger tie, the single winger looks weak
mircea_popescu: take
a very simple metric : you say " that BANX has no credible revenue model was half the point" but at no point, and especially not at the right point, was the plain statement "BANX has no revenue model" to be found.
mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> as for the rest, mircea_popescu, you may dismiss everything that isn't Bitcoin 0.5 as
a scam but I do not take this view without evidence << but note that none of that is in any sense what i said.

shinohai: Zuardi: has
a key, just no rating
mircea_popescu: <PeterL> Now that QNTRA is
a year old, is there any plan to explore revenue generation? << notrly. the plan is to explore
a way to get more people to write better.
mircea_popescu: <danielpbarron> and I don't get the space between the last word of
a sentence and the punctuation << the wut ?!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so dumbass eulora db server found
a whole new way to fuckup. jesus fuck i love contemporaneity.
shinohai: I'm not big on many altcoins, but +1 for not generating
a bzillion coins for an "IPO"
shinohai: LOL so it has
a sort-of mircea_popescu blessing.
shinohai: "If this is
a scam, I want to be scammed more." <<< careful what you wish!

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 22-10-2015 22:01:20; mircea_popescu: "BANX represents
a thus far dividend-paying investment in BanxCapital," << dividends out of what ?
assbot: Logged on 22-10-2015 22:00:43; mircea_popescu: "And yes, it'll be
a damn shame if this backfires on BitShares. Their technology is extremely scalable, blazingly fast and impressively flexible on the backend."
PeterL: Now that QNTRA is
a year old, is there any plan to explore revenue generation?
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 04:45:23; BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: No one yet, but I suspect someone is going to scan
a document and think "this format is old enough:
PeterL: same paragraph "... sources will be replaced <by>
a published ..."
danielpbarron: my personal rule with quotes and punctuation is that if it looks strange, there is probably
a better way to form the sentence.
danielpbarron: and I don't get the space between the last word of
a sentence and the punctuation
trinque: in discussing this with
a friend recently, I supposed that the founding fathers might never have dreamed that the lowest would end up included in the category of "people"
pete_dushenski: and now berlusconi's the devil incarante for having
a few billions to his name. and sleeping with young girls !
mircea_popescu: (at the time the 60k acres were perhaps worth
a few k ounces of gold. maybe. for instance.)
mircea_popescu: "Washington was
a land developer, often described as the richest of his generation. By the end of the American Revolution, General Washington controlled about sixty thousand acres of land" << and there lies the debunk. it's true that george washington was well off. it's true he controlled some tens of k's of acres. it is UNTRUE that made him "richest in his generation".
☟︎ pete_dushenski: and in other news, contravex has
a new header image. bask ye in all my white-suited, short-haired splendour.
pete_dushenski: but if monday rolls around and you find my pgp sig on
a mortgage and
a !rate travispatron 10 bbf4lyf, i'm in
a better place.
pete_dushenski: also, if anyone's looking for me, i'll be away this weekend sans internet. just
a heads up
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: For
a browser to care you do.
pete_dushenski: "Who said smartphones weren't useful ?" v. "(Run moar winbloze!™)" << though i seem to only use
a question/exclamation mark once every 4-5 articles, so maybe not
a big deal.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: For
a browser to care you actually have to use the special character to force the second space.
trinque: well I mean, what one does to cope with
a world of shit is forgivable
BingoBoingo: So before it gets to that debate you have to ask yourself "Am I that much of
a pretentious dick" or am I going to trust the reading software to know.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo i use
a space 90% of the time on contravex, but i've been even less consistent in qntra submissions.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: It's html, there is no second space. Browser enforces that unless you
a a dick who adds
a second  
pete_dushenski: i was suprised to see that neither BingoBoingo nor mircea_popescu mentioned
a guideline for
a space (or no space) after the last word in
a sentence and any subsequent question/exclamation mark.
punkman: I'm also gonna hate you if your <img> is
a <div> with
a background
pete_dushenski: No footnotes in the first (or only) paragraph of
a submission. << good idea. i've been guilty of this and it does look sloppy
pete_dushenski: "and every third past contravex post article keeping up with the news ones is
a good starting point." << kinda broken, BingoBoingo. no comprendo
punkman: strong and em were in vogue for
a while, but then html5 brought b/i backj
pete_dushenski: " Links to sources out of Level 1 of assbots Web or Trust and links to dynamic pages that change content as
a function of their nature should be followed with
a link to an archive.is snapshot of the page in the form" << specified here, mind you.
pete_dushenski: "Links to sources out of WoT and links to dynamic pages should be followed with
a link to an archive.is snapshot of the page in the form (archived)" << the thing about this is that assbot's wot =! BingoBoingo's wot =! author's wot. so whose wot is the correct wot ?
pete_dushenski: (Right : He said "this sucks". Wrong : He said "this sucks.") << not
a fan of this 'right'
punkman: well those two I can easily get, but finding real chocolate is
a hassle
BingoBoingo: For
a while Hershey was advertising that shit as chocolate... since the ruling they just don't sell chocolate now, just "chocolate product"
☟︎ BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: No one yet, but I suspect someone is going to scan
a document and think "this format is old enough:
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> wow they made 6 saws ?! << 7, Maybe an 8th in
a year or two. 1, 2, 5, and 6 are watchable.
BingoBoingo: cazalla, thestringpuller, pete_dushenski, hanbot, PeterL as the qntra contributors with more than 3 pieces
a piece, your feedback is especially welcome. Every contributor will get
a ;;later tell in about 12 hours baring messages lodged in channel.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Concerning images can you clarify the concept of ownership considering the #b-
a corpus: "Images are acceptable if you own them"
BingoBoingo: Saw VI, not
a bad flick. Rest of the series before and after is awfully forgettable.
BingoBoingo: Fuck with
a clearsigned payload it is trash. Fuck with an encrypted payload it is nothing.
BingoBoingo: Encrypted means it was either
a turd when sent or we're fucked. So as asciilifeform pointed out sigs are probably
a must too.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That line break shit that was
a pain in the foundation mailing list. Probably ought to all be signed. The line break mutilation trash though has to go and GPG encryption is the only read way to prevent it.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Certain submitters the the past specified targets like
a "new window" or
a "new tab"
mircea_popescu: these fucktards. how fucking hard it is to vacate
a car garage throw
a party.
mircea_popescu: if i wanted to see 1-2 weird girls next door being self conscious in briefs i'd go to
a lame beach.
BingoBoingo: <adlai> specifically "Adding
a new indictment to news 200-700 words" << BRB getting carbs
mircea_popescu: holy fucksticks! the ENTIRE THING took place in
a space that's smaller than any apartment i keep girls in.
