mircea_popescu: WHO thinks like this. i wish to know.

trinque: one too many, I'm on a permanent trip

trinque: I don't know that I've ever seen better conversation anywhere else.

mircea_popescu: except i was discussing female monkeys...

trinque: I mean where do opinions come from if not that?

asciilifeform: frog only knows how to say one thing: 'i am frog'

mircea_popescu: i can't even tell if that's supposed to be laudative or deprecatory.

trinque: I like to think I can speak idiot but..

mircea_popescu: no but seriously. so he could imagine what was going through my head. and then i was right long before people even knew what it was called and therefore...

mircea_popescu: "I'd say he has completely lost the plot at this stage. He was calling bitcoinXT an altcoin long before it was even suggested. I can't imagine what's going through his mind right now given that I could imagine the completely fucked up shit that was happening before." << if anyone has a reddit to english translation service, please help.

mircea_popescu: i'd fire her. she wants to teach the kids to talk trash about random people, that's what lincoln is for.

asciilifeform: i can speak for this.

asciilifeform: which is why i say that he had no option but 'write' or 'eat nagant'

mircea_popescu: i dun get teh hate. chick owns her camera. wut ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'wrote because i am wrong' is imho correct, but in the ~literal~ sense. as in 'my whole existence is an uncorrectable wrong'

mircea_popescu: "but if i do write i sometimes can also pretend like i don't know that i'm wrong."

mircea_popescu: i suspect it's more the case that "wrote because i am wrong, and i know i am wrong, and if i don't write i can't sleep."

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i never got the impression that o had pretences to 'great'. he wrote for the archaeologist. as i do.

mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone ever think he's even 2nd rate.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think chesterton thought anything about orwell past "hack".

mircea_popescu: i'm a degenerate gambler because us libertard can't stomach monkey rape. wtf already.

BingoBoingo: But she was being so unreasonable that it helped my cause. When I told the cops that I slipped the nelson on her they were congratulatory. The one cop says, “Really, man, you used the nelson? Way to go—that’s the best thing for women who are trying to hit you!”

jurov: i, in turn, supplied buttcoiners with a certain walrus, we'll see

mircea_popescu: wait i'm a degenerate gambler now ? how's that work.

trinque: I played that

trinque: asciilifeform | jurov: why long, set up a dos box, enjoy the maxint games which were maxint times better than anything available today. << /me wishes to see asciilifeform's DOS game list, as I was too young to truly appreciate the era

jurov: still, i have used t602, too

jurov: i know. just feeling the longing after himen.sys :D

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1246308 << aha. for instance, one fella i know loaded the new (today's) 'ashley madison' crud. and one of the archive balls fails pgp sig. ☝︎

assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 23:11:28; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1245604 << actually a dr-dos version would be pretty cool. in fact i would guess an attempt to write private bitcoinfs and make dr-dos check blocks and an attempt to ada-bitcoin would necessarily end with a very similar if not outright identical product.

BingoBoingo: Should be fixed and in the I can't even department http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/ferguson-police-officer-describes-heartbreak-of-fatal-shooting-of-/article_bb249529-3870-5ae1-83da-8545f4a6773e.html Yet they burned a chunk of North St Last night for the kid who ran out of a crack house

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> is it me or has alf's figurative speech improved markedly past year or two << like his work I imagine also fueled by his hatred

BingoBoingo: Of course. I's just like to kill the Cawsmax Ray excuse

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1245604 << actually a dr-dos version would be pretty cool. in fact i would guess an attempt to write private bitcoinfs and make dr-dos check blocks and an attempt to ada-bitcoin would necessarily end with a very similar if not outright identical product. ☝︎☟︎

ahmed_bodi: Occasional trader. remember trading with a few people here. lost my PGP? key so i cant auth with assbot myself anymore ☟︎

mircea_popescu: ascii_field i tell you, trying to convince sopmeone to not mentally s/programmer/monkey/ is a very hard task.

mircea_popescu: but i mean it's universal by now.

mircea_popescu: i am seriously persuaded that not a single "programmer" alive until 2010 ever realised that yes, bitwise identity is a thing.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1245518 << i thought ls was the problem. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: heck, i can almost see it, "Key West Is American"

mircea_popescu: i dunno about that.

mircea_popescu: i'm unconvinced, but who knows.

assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 15:35:39; funkenstein_: kinda why i have been wasting resources on this thing: http://coin-vote.com/poll/557573b91ce32f881a045135

mircea_popescu: i look at that index and i'm like... hey, nice, simcity 2015.

mircea_popescu: "I think we should put users first." << oh, but we are. because poor people ARE NOT bitcoin users. by definition.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1245396 << imo it's just a leftover magic thinking thing. "oh if i keep the kid's name a secret evil witches can't steal his soul". ☝︎

jurov: nothing, i just had no idea

kakobrekla: i didnt publish the link really.

jurov: cuz i must still occassionally fix coinbr history

jurov: and say i wanted to convince coinbr customer that yes, it happened

jurov: well, i was troubleshooting coinbr transaction "2015-08-19T22:31:42+00:00", B 53950, "S.MPOE" @ 68266 but it got put together with others and then published in channel

jurov: live.coinbr.com i mean

kakobrekla: i have one

BingoBoingo: I was kinda iffy about him with the whole Trezor thing

punkman: I was also trying to make a point about the |GPG| prefix being useless

punkman: mircea_popescu: I was wrong on the CR part, not sure on the exact set of whitespace chars it will happily eat, but it's probably more than tabs and spaces. example: http://dpaste.com/18QBJJY.txt

assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 13:20:14; BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo i don't actually think they were READY to deploy this autumn. irrespective of the september term they might or might not have lied to manageement about. << Gavin's eariler marketing campaign made this autumn the latest they could do this.

ascii_field: hell, i don't find it esp. appetizing, either.

assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 13:16:47; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1245242 << can't wait for the 'i am usg stoolie and will be stoned to death if $leak is leaked'

ascii_field: when i wrote that essay, and there was no positive reaction to it, i concluded that bitcoin users are just too fond of fellating the invisible cock of the anonymous microshit vs wizard, to care half a damn

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1245331 << mebbe a blessing, this. sometimes mine takes 3 hours, i'm on like the fifth cup of very milky capuccino... ☝︎

ascii_field: i want a dead usg.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field i thought you had no money, what do you care.

ascii_field: i, for instance, am not any more thrilled about satoshi's blocks being spendable than a german in 1945 was re: the trotyl that hitler ordered planted on everything worth half a broken pfenning

ascii_field: briefly back to earlier thread, i hypothesize that is s-bomb falls, the 'counter-bomb' is a schelling point.

punkman: I don't see trailing spaces/tabs/etc

mircea_popescu: well you can readily see what i added, it's all in there

mircea_popescu: ascii_field obviously. i'm just saying, you know, here's where the shore is. for all the puddles pretending to be rivers.

kakobrekla: BingoBoingo yeah i wasnt clear, 75% over 1k blocks which is 1 week + 2week 'grace' period

mircea_popescu: i mean.

trinque: but sure, I geddit

ascii_field: i live on both sides of this.

trinque: yeah, if satoshi says "dead" I'm inclined to respect

mircea_popescu: heck, the absence of social recognition for this is why i won't have kids.

trinque: I dunno if I like having some kind of mob social mechanism to declare coins uncoined

BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> felipelalli: i have no idea, but iirc mircea_popescu dislikes him << Two different goats

mike_c: my mother thought I should be a lawyer

mircea_popescu: i dunno wtf you're doing programming computers yo. go be a negotiator.

mircea_popescu: i hope me and mike_c die in the same plane crash and i get to hear him talk it over with ol' paulie.

mircea_popescu: i have no idea how any man can have the patience.

mike_c: we = foundation, I'm not doing anything.

felipelalli: punkman, this is true, and this is my main use of Bitcoin. I wouldn't be affected. Good point. But this is a little contradictory with the article "there is no such thing as cryptocurrencies". The idea is "There Can Be Only One"

felipelalli: mircea_popescu, I fully understood your point on that part, but it does not answer what if the miners decide to attack the actual Bitcoin making double spends, reverting transactions etc. They'll have this power. Read http://trilema.com/2014/the-woes-of-altcoin-or-why-there-is-no-such-thing-as-cryptocurrencies/

kakobrekla: i think gavins version uses 90%

mircea_popescu: ascii_field i dunno how you do it, but yeah

felipelalli: trinque, I know, but vulnerable. Miners could use a portion of their hashpower just to mess around with the actual Bitcoin.

trinque: but then the agency there is just a metaphor, so I can see the argument that nothing was "taken over"

felipelalli: mircea_popescu, I read your articles. Actually I had read some parts before, but I read all over again. Unfortunately I didn't find the answer to my question. I understand that if miners just point to a "Scamcoin" (fork from Bitcoin) this is not Bitcoin, of course. But having them more hashpower, and the same type of hash function, this does not make the actual Bitcoin an "altcoin" and them vulnerable to attacks? (following the

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i think 'take over' here is in the sense microshit took over pc

ascii_field: i must have some 'css' filter in my skull that makes orlov make sense

ascii_field: sorta why i brought it up re: the simulacra thread.

mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, what ? dude's not even wrong.

trinque: heh, I've hoped for this as well. wishful thinking.

mircea_popescu: which paragraph am i to start reading?

mircea_popescu: i guess you'll have to provide offsets with your orlov links nao

ascii_field: i don't barf from religion unless it genuinely interferes with the subject matter

mircea_popescu: events that increase in frequency due to the rapidly destabilizing climate." <<< ascii_field i'm sorry, what ?

mircea_popescu: but to my own head it's a huge step forward. i guess i was coming at the internet from the wrong perspective. took a while to clear in my head heh.

mircea_popescu: well, i guess it's not novel nor really anything but the most banal observation.
