mircea_popescu: i do not credit this "nice people working for scammers" theory.
wilbns: growth rate as being something even more rapid and promising than PayPal total payments volume. It was then that I realized there were instances where people were potentially being mislead that the Blockchain total payments volume was actually Blockchain.info total payments volume.
wilbns: One time I was asked by Peter Smith to find early charts of PayPal total payments volume to compare to Blockchain Total Payments volume. Was told by Peter Smith that him and Nic Cary were in Silicon Valley meeting with former PayPal executives and venture capitalists (this was before they secured their raise), to whom they were comparing early Blockchain

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd rather the crows ate'em
thestringpuller: trinque: i installed it to use the command line tools. it's kinda akin to installing xcode to have clang to run a gcc like thing...

thestringpuller: https://gpgtools.org << dunno how I feel about these guys yet but they accept bitcoin
asciilifeform: (i just like the title)
mircea_popescu: "I've mentioned this countless times but I think it's obvious that true consensus should be coming from the largest, decentralized group in the Bitcoin space: its users around the world." << how the fuck is a bunch of circlejerking derps, who don't even REALISE that google's been feeding them results tailored to their own stupidity for a decade, who think wikipedia is a source of knowledge and whose enjoyment mostly co
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> better than any government << from safe distance. right now, as i understand, they are in what '90s ru called 'initial capital allocation.' which tends to involve some mess - machine-gunning of whole hamlets to prove a point, etc
trinque: many of those types that I've known in Portland clearly hate themselves, and engage in all kinds of self-destructive behavior
mircea_popescu: i wonder, incidentally, how, when or if will the us-style feminist conceptualize that her notions of gender identity and female rights imposes a significant cost on the community, and as a result ensures a) its downfal and b) the mass rape of most females and some males dumb enough to have participated, deserved, as spoils of war.

trinque: incidentally I'm moving the fuck back to texas in a couple weeks :D
trinque: damn, I need to start using progre as a slur

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-08-2015#1240653 << i find it extremely lulzy, just how outright soviet socialist republics this thing ended up. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> going by that "illumination" thing on medium, i would be surprised if the guy could write something that could make it on qntra << Depends on the subject they try to tackle, but questions abound.
mircea_popescu: going by that "illumination" thing on medium, i would be surprised if the guy could write something that could make it on qntra
mircea_popescu: i had also forgotten how larabel looks like he's 12.
pete_dushenski: imagine my surprise when i picked up a new '27 inch' monitor last night at it was 30 inches

mircea_popescu: ever since kindergarten ppl thought i'm jus fucking with them

mircea_popescu: i see peanuts green
jurov: https://m.reddit.com/r/bestof/comments/3djj8o/colorblind_redditors_shocked_to_learn_that_peanut/ << i was inspired by this
ascii_field: idk about this 'enchroma', but i got the opposite: my 'eizo' lcd panels have a button that selectably simulates two types of colour blindness...
punkman: I think it'd be easier on the eyes if it only coloured the names
mircea_popescu: i'm, not blind i just can't see
jurov: riiight, i dream of KYC-enablement all the time
jurov: kakobrekla: realy, it's okay, i like ;)
trinque: kakobrekla: I would like to invest all my doge in your logs hosting shartup
mike_c: i hatez all the colors
mircea_popescu: i'm, not yeller!
trinque: kakobrekla: thank you sir; I'll change the URL generation on my end to match the previous links
mike_c: yes, he is misguided. I didn't mean to criticize the room, just try to offer him an additional viewpoint.
mircea_popescu: i think one needs to be thirty first, honestly.
mike_c: yeah, I just wanted to add the additional advice of - just because you *can* find an investor doesn't mean you should.
mircea_popescu: i just told him how to approach a problem correectly is all
mircea_popescu: i did not say THAT
mircea_popescu: which, i wager, is 90% of the useful reaction you've received on it anyway
mircea_popescu: wilbns the plantform choiuce is not a crime, i just am a very hateful soul.
BingoBoingo: Hey, I just observate. Now nubbins' is an actual color shitlord.
mircea_popescu: i am just differently able colorwise BingoBoingo ! check your privilege!
wilbns: wow i'm really having a problem typing. i think the word and type something else.
wilbns: re: medium, the reason i use that space is because hopefully something i write will be of some use to somehow who can do something positive with it later - if i just stick it on my blog it then i doubt anyone will ever seen it, barring a contextual keyword phrase match
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 20:44:13; mircea_popescu: kakobrekla seems it doesn't have enough colors maybe ? i get whole fields of multiple; speakers same color.
kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-08-2015#1241069 < quite limited to light colors so its picking randomly from that color space - i thought i made it so it wont repeat colors, will check. ☝︎
wilbns: that's what i was thinking
mircea_popescu: you probably should, from this paragraph i notice you'd enjoy it. moreover, here's your "one word" example : http://trilema.com/2013/our-emperor-deliver-us/
wilbns: cool, i will - and check out the gpg contracts article
wilbns: mircea_popescu: thanks, i missed that, too
punkman: "status quote" I lol'd
mircea_popescu: wilbns so outright i see the following problem : you discuss ethereum at the maximal outskirts of what its proponents presnet it as. this is not unlike taking a ponzi schemer's "idea" and pretending it would be a central bank, then discussing how "it regulates financial flows". rank nonsense.
mircea_popescu: which i fail to see. anyway.
mircea_popescu: i dunno
thestringpuller: ascii_field: i did and it worked. lemme try with more memory
thestringpuller: ascii_field: building on AWS should I increase memory footprint size?
trinque: hey, btw. if someone cnames deeds.bitcoin-assets.com to deedbot.org I'll make that link in the declaration work again.
shinohai: mircea_popescu: I was thinking about the declaration when I saw that.
BingoBoingo: In other news one interview for one job today seemed to go meh, the other job's interview seemed to go well. Hoping I can get that regular fiat income to start standing up srs noedz ☟︎
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-08-2015#1241062 << one of the things i know with great certainty, but cannot formally prove, is that 'fuzzy' passwords are a crock of shit ☝︎

This way, your most important documents are backed up and ready to share when needed.
shinohai: Somewhere today I saw it written "There is no killer app for bitcoin yet" ... why does bitcoin need an app?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla seems it doesn't have enough colors maybe ? i get whole fields of multiple; speakers same color. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 17:07:38; kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-08-2015&bots=true#1240240 < i added 'kindergarten' mode for him
mircea_popescu: anyway, i am not prepared to defend this technically. i just have a manager's eye is all.

trinque: you're supposed to open the thing and say oh, I want to change the make.conf/lilo.conf/whatever
shinohai: trinque: no worries, I had to edit it to get it to run xD
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 15:31:58; thestringpuller: ascii_field: i thought the whole reason a "debate" even existed is because 90% of reddit's /r/bitcoin is full of socialist who likely own 0.1 btc each to their name and think they are gonna change the world.
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 20:33:50; mircea_popescu: incidentally re pogo and cpu - i am well persuaded the problem is in how the software checks sig, not in the cpu limit.
trinque: sorry I ever linked the thing, christ
ascii_field: where i live
mircea_popescu: yousee wqhat i mean.
trinque: I apologize for interrupting, but just for posterity: the gentoo guide and my script were not so people could like, you know, be cool without having to learn anything. my script for example *IS MEANT TO BE READ AND EDITED*
