decimation: I suspect the "wealthy" half has most of their assets locked away in retirement plans, and most of those plans don't allow you to "invest" as you choose
BayAreaCoins: mike_c I grew up on Battle.net (Blizzard Entertainment games) and I've always hung around successful people... so I don't mind getting my balls busted. It is good for me
mircea_popescu: "However, I'm lucky enough to not have to have that worry/fear of my government because I don't involve myself with a number of business that one can choose to be involved in around BTC"
BayAreaCoins: I have to be frank with you... this is more for people who are looking to get hit by some government entity such as PDR. I do keep my paper wallets in banks between California and Arkansas. However, I'm lucky enough to not have to have that worry/fear of my government because I don't involve myself with a number of business that one can choose to be involved in around BTC
BayAreaCoins: Sadly you are going to have child labor in everything... all the way from making shoes to now mining. I don't think it can be avoided, but I think the game is swinging more toward bots... which obviously doesn't matter bot or not if it is a 5 year old running it.
mircea_popescu: you don't rly know who i am do you ?
BayAreaCoins: However I can assure you there are a number of us who aren't :) Don't get too down on good ole 'Murica ;)
BayAreaCoins: Obviously there is a decent demand for offshore banking, but I don't know a single one that I can set up within 10minutes from the comfort of my house and have it funded as well. Sure you can afford the flight, but you'll get laughed out of the bank.
BayAreaCoins: I think a number of people in my country (America) are very very interested about how to bank "off shore", but they don't have the proper contacts. I believe if this was set up it would give people the ability to go off shore within a hour of deciding they wanted to (by using btc, also the extra $ flowing in isn't going to kill any of us either)
mircea_popescu: i don't understand how dual sha-scrypt improves security.
mircea_popescu: human minable, i don't understand.
BigBitz: I don't believe drug related.
artifexd: I don't think I would use copper tubes. My configuration changes too often.
xmj: I have .net and don't use it but for email ... why do people not see such things :(
mircea_popescu: why put a pike on display just to stab yourself on the eye with ? just don't mention statistics at all, and merely go on derping nudely, "i want uber to be worth moar"
mircea_popescu: assbot: Kickstarter project spent $3.5M to finish a working prototypeand ended in disaster | Ars Technica << punkman to be fair, that's not really either important or making a lot of sense. sometimes prototypes fail, which is why they're called prototypes. i don't think you can find any item which didn't have millions "wasted" in prototyping
fluffypony: wtf is this, I don't understand: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=686482.0
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> tbh i don't get that bitcoinnews article. wtf is it supposed to be ? /// me either, it reads like it was sleepwritten
xmj: mike_c: I don't work >for< benkay. I work with him.
mircea_popescu: tbh i don't get that bitcoinnews article. wtf is it supposed to be ?
decimation: I don't think you would be placing fine pitch parts without optics
pankkake: I don't know why, I like those soviet buildings
pankkake: I mean the time to obtain a hard drive if you don't have a spare (and the time to rebuild)
pankkake: I don't know what you are doing with the raids, but scrubing the raid and checking smart data regularly could probably reduce those kind of occurences
benkay: well i certainly don't hire masters degree holders to stand by the crank and turn it all day
benkay: i'm sorry, i don't understand the difference between said social policies and ideologies
benkay: my work day starts at 7, but i don't hit the tubes till ten or later.
mike_c: but he is here now. and i don't see logs.
mircea_popescu: no dude i don't want an ersatz.
decimation: yeah I don't see any way out of the problem other than having a king/judge make subjective decisions backed up with the threat of violence
mircea_popescu: "i don't have to beat them personaly but merely remind them of how their parents beat them"
mircea_popescu: if you don't like it you keep your pear and i keep my silver.
mike_c: i don't mind no macros, and i'm surprised you like them. macros are the death of readability.
mircea_popescu: "Bobynin's voice rang like metal on metal. 'I can see the difference between you and me: you need me, but I don't need you.'"
pankkake: I don't mean private key, I mean the metadata block. i.e. what luks does
mircea_popescu: i mean, i don't in any sense mind if it happens, but it's not a goal.
pankkake: I don't need that much ssds. or I would be very very well paid if I moved everything to ssds
kyuupichan: Still I don't think BTC goes to over $2k this year now. I'd be happy with 1500
TheNewDeal: I don't think financial crises necessarily means boom for bitcoin
kyuupichan: I guess it's useful for stats. Not very private though which is why I wondered why people do it. Maybe they just don't care.
mike_c: thx. i don't know anything about emacs yet.
mircea_popescu: i don't even think this happened before, in a wc match
colinistheman: It was good to talk to you all but I will be on my way now. Good day to you gentlemen. And don't forget your arsenal of knives :P
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't recall that one ?
colinistheman: It's a good idea but I don't have the time. I managed to scrap together these few things.
colinistheman: I don't sell the BTC either. It's kept in BTC form
mircea_popescu: indiancandy1 what difference does it make ? i want the guy to join here, i don't care about a bunch of indians that have no bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: or i guess https://twitter.com/SexyMissSaffron/status/486305081029955586 if you don't have the connection for heavy duty vids.
mircea_popescu: i guess i just don't get bum culture.
bitstein: Even if they did, I don't find it admirable in the least.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: just in case more f.derp listings are in order http://www.coindesk.com/one-law-firm-helping-bitcoin-startups-find-success/ << i don't get it, you want me to list a law firm ?!
davout: interestingly enough i don't see this discussed anywhere
mircea_popescu: i think people don't quite correctly evaluate the cost of running a node yet.
pankkake: you need to run software, I don't think your hosting provides that
davout: i don't really know, some stuff matches with bitcoinbourse, some other stuff not, first of all they said the website was put offline, and bitcoinbourse seems to be up
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: funny cuz i don't even think much of having those 3 hanging off my arm
mircea_popescu: i don't, no.
benkay: bitcoinpete: i don't even believe you.
mircea_popescu: mebbe jesus homie knows something i don't. somehow. through divine headfucking.
mike_c: well, my end is. i don't think we ever got the dns right
mike_c: i don't like playing with stock of companies that don't make money.
thestringpuller: More like: "No I'm from fucking Connecticut. And no, I don't have any "herb" for sale"
nubbins`: i don't think anything that size is reaching the uterus
mircea_popescu: pankkake i srsly don't see it. who knows, maybe we talk to differen people.
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> someone make a titty video to get alex jones in here << i don' do manboobs
mircea_popescu: the problem is that you don't really want to live i nthe society which forces you t obe the sort of guy that's a good mate to have a baby with.
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> nubbins`: I don't know, there's a significant portion of women who aim to be single mothers << you mean on the internet or irl ?
pankkake: nubbins`: I don't know, there's a significant portion of women who aim to be single mothers
pankkake: I don't think this is a "natural" change
mircea_popescu: pankkake i don't follow this argument.
chetty: <mircea_popescu> i wonder how come us socialists don't have this on the agenda btw ? pretty much the only way they could talk interest to the people politico is trying to talk to is by making harems the law of the land.//only works if women cant vote
pankkake: http://www.abondance.com/actualites/20110809-11033-nouvelle-plainte-contre-google-pour-abus-de-position-dominante.html <= don't know if I published it earlier, but this is one of previous dotcoin's businesses (same address)

mircea_popescu: artifexd: I don't think Germany will pass Brazil. I'd like to see Germany win, but I doubt it. << get out, germany has like the best team at wc. ☟︎
artifexd: I don't think Germany will pass Brazil. I'd like to see Germany win, but I doubt it.
mircea_popescu: nam-shub well how the hell do they deserve videos too, they don't write blogs i read.
nam-shub: yes, sorry for the spelling I don't speak Japanese.
teward: mircea_popescu, i'm also kinda paranoid, i rate-limit the non-priority subnets so I don't overuse all my pipe
sexysaffron: I don't mind, if you send the .1 now it actually fits best into my schedule tomorrow
mircea_popescu: anyway, don't leave just yet, i may have another one.
sexysaffron: I don't do a lot of IRC these days
BigBitz: I don't like his MO.
mircea_popescu: i don't think i ever had a tick
Dekker3D: Cool. If you find a way and don't mind sharing, I'd love to hear about it
Dekker3D: I used to mine Scrypt. I don't anymore
Dekker3D: One more team to beat and they're the world champion for the first time in.. 4 decades or so? I don't really even keep track of football.
Dekker3D: Hm. I don't know about that, tbh.
Dekker3D: I'm not sure if I understand the link between this TL;DRish article and english speaking people. If bitcoin won't help the poor, then wouldn't it be mostly non-english-speakers who would be hit by it? I'd imagine there's more poor people that don't speak english
Dekker3D: Yeah, I googled it.. but I'm not sure I get what that remark of yours means. And I get inquisitive when I don't understand stuff :P
Namworld: I don't have any relatives buying, so it's always strangers
jurov: same here...people want to buy when i don't sell and when i sell, noone wants
moiety: benkay i don't even know, i wasn't very sober, sorry
mircea_popescu: "i still don;t know what the idea is!"
Dekker3D: I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing?
mircea_popescu: i still don't know what that is.
Dekker3D: "white knighting". Ow, right in the ego. But, I'm legally considered to be handicapped so I don't really have a job.
Dekker3D: Sadly, I don't have a 376.6km extendopenis.
moiety: it's better his fiancee left him now before the wedding. i don't think she understands the whole "for better or worse" bit
artifexd: There is this tv show called "Storage Wars" where they auction off the contents of storage units whose bills haven't been paid. I wonder if a cloud storage provider could get away with something similar. "Don't pay your bill? We auction off your data."
ninjashogun: chetty - no, it just doesn't happen. I know VC's. I know founders. Scams just don't happen after you do due dilligence.
