nubbins`:
i think it has to at least be /possible/ in order to qualify as advice
Chillum:
I rock an Omega Speedmaster
punkman: yeah but if you still want to fund gavin,
I'm thinking you're a spook
nubbins`: heh
i like this jannsens guy's style
punkman: "
I had an idealistic vision of the Foundation being a member-driven organization, but that never happened. Now would be a good time for you, the membership, to make me proud and come together and figure out a vision for the Foundation moving forward."
punkman: "A special trust fund is being created and
I will donate several 100k to pre-pay Gavin’s, Wladimirs and some other core devs wage for the next year" << who's this Olivier dude that's gonna pay for Gavin out of his pocket
mats queues up mp's "
i killed the bitcoin phoundation"
PeterL:
I wonder what they will burn if they win tonight?
PeterL: the mailman, and he is going to stop delivering my mail if
I don't meet his demands in the next two weeks
PeterL: the box used to be on the house itself, and
I moved it to the porch rail so he wouldn't have to go up the steps, but apparently that isn't good enough, now
I gotta go buy a post and dig a hole to stick it in
PeterL: so, my lastest run-in with USG agents: the mailman doesn't like where my mailbox is. It is currently on the rail of my porch, he says
I must instal a box on a post in my yard
cazalla: kylie might've been it when you watched it as a teenager, but brooke satchwell was it when

pete_dushenski: because mebbe 'just core dev' will bring in a gazillion coins. just like ethereum.
i'm sure.
pete_dushenski: so
i've had them homemade, but 'well' ? not to my standard
pete_dushenski:
i've had homemade whip cream and that would come the closest to being appealing
pete_dushenski:
i'm not even envious of people who like them and have no desire to 'expand my palette' to include them
pete_dushenski: gravy is some nasty shit.
i can't stand it with anything.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Ever since he described that outhouse,
I think
I'm understanding his fascination with turds nao.

i do not want them in the zoo,
i do not want them with a gnu,
i do not want them in a house,
i do not want them with a mouse, ... , ...
trinque: yeah,
I was off the mark in trying to describe the abnormality of that, actually
trinque:
I wasn't talking about just human life
cazalla:
i heard it was a game for casuals
mircea_popescu: btw cazalla and all folks who actually play games : once eulora 0.1 comes out, ima hold an event where there's gonna be magic money bags, yielding coin each day.
i want y'all to show up an' get one.
assbot: Logged on 04-04-2015 02:21:29; junseth: Haha, well the question is what was the alternative. The alternative before the Fed was not necessarily better.
I'm not a fan of central banks. But
I think it's disingenuous to say that the central bank hasn't done a decent job of "running" the currency. The solution is to solve the problems caused by central banking.
I think that's why we're all Bitcoiners.
assbot: Logged on 04-04-2015 02:04:31; junseth: RE: the discussion about markets,
I generally disagree with the notion that markets don't work.
I know it's a common mantra. But markets, even decently regulated ones, work pretty well. Regulated markets price in the cost of regulation.

danielpbarron:
I have no doubt that these same people, had you enthusiastically said to them, "Your 64MB flash drive will hold a 64GB in a few years and cost less!" would have scoffed at the idea. The same thing is happening with Bitcoin. Men who know nothing about software are scoffing at the idea that Bitcoin can change and improve. Its an a-historical perspective, to use parliamentary language. On IRC, they simply say, "DERP!".

decimation: re: discussion about paper keys <
I wonder if a set of symbols in combination with a very simple 'ocr' algorithm might work
decimation:
I suppose my overall point is that if the build target is 'frozen', someone is gonna have to maintain the infrastructure
junseth: "junseth:
I am drawing a parallel between functioning natural ecosystems and functioning markets"
I'm not sure what you mean. Can you
decimation:
i admit that many of them are probably useful bugfixes that are backported
decimation: certainly
I'm not saying that they should be taken on redhat's name alone
decimation:
I would suggest a redhat-patched gcc actually
trinque: junseth:
I am drawing a parallel between functioning natural ecosystems and functioning markets
junseth: Haha, well a market is a place where individuals come and transact. That's what it means. What does it look like?
I mean, it can look like a lot of things. But a marketplace doesn't have to look like any one thing.
junseth: Haha,
I would probably apply the supreme court porn test to whether somethign is a market or not
junseth: Hmm... well,
I would say that ther eis probably no such thing as a unregulated market. But any place that exists wher epeople transact is a market.
junseth:
I would be willing to bet a lot of money that we agree on almost everything Bitcoin ,an dprobably disagree a lot about how markets work.
junseth: :) Haha.
I agree with all of that.
danielpbarron: but
i'd keep my savings in bitcoin, using it to replentish my gold coins on a monthly basis or something
junseth: RE: Bitcoin's inherent value,
I agree.
junseth:
I agree backing bitcoin with metal doesn't make sense. But there are so many scams that are showing up these days that are taking advantage of the sentiment that a gold/silver backed crypto would be better.
danielpbarron:
i like gold;
i'd hapily accept gold coins in some sort of local economy
junseth: danielbparron, Well,
I would say that electronic, non-government controlled money is better money. Bitcoin's decentralization lets us take advantage of those better features. Previous attempts at using what we all agreed would have been better were shutdown because they were centralized.
decimation: mats: yeah it's a good episode,
I recommend it
decimation: junseth: " But anyway, if you look at that case, if you look at other cases,
I think the pattern is pretty clear that the least restricted systems are the ones that performed best from the point of view of the average user of money. And those were systems that were on gold or silver standards. And there doesn't seem to have been any great dissatisfaction with that. There were proposals by some economists to try to have a system that
junseth: trinque:
I don't know many Bitcoiners who would disagree.
I'm just less vehement about that happening.
I think Bitcoin is better money.
trinque: junseth:
I'm a "bitcoiner" to see central banking go extinct
junseth: Haha, well the question is what was the alternative. The alternative before the Fed was not necessarily better.
I'm not a fan of central banks. But
I think it's disingenuous to say that the central bank hasn't done a decent job of "running" the currency. The solution is to solve the problems caused by central banking.
I think that's why we're all Bitcoiners.
decimation:
I'm referring to the now defunct 'open solaris'
danielpbarron:
i don't think the argument posed was that they don't work, but that the U.S. hasn't had one for the last century
junseth: RE: the discussion about markets,
I generally disagree with the notion that markets don't work.
I know it's a common mantra. But markets, even decently regulated ones, work pretty well. Regulated markets price in the cost of regulation.
decimation: failing that
I was thinking mips with some variant of solaris
junseth:
I really should have done it a long time ago
junseth: That's a very good idea.
I'll do taht probably a little later tonight.
danielpbarron: if you register a gpg key with assbot,
i'm sure someone here will give you a +1 which would let you voice yourself, and that lasts longer than 30 minutes
decimation: asciilifeform: re: official platform >
I agree, it would be useful if a single build platform
decimation: pretty good podcast
http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/02/michael_munger_1.html >" But that manipulation will not be apparent to people unless they have seen this technical result. Which means that you sort of--you can have shamans, people who know the rules, be in charge in ways that are tantamount to dictatorship. So, we should be very skeptical about claims that 'this is what the people want.'
I think ontologically, that is, in
junseth: It might be.
I invite you to explain why it's naive. If you can tell me your inputs,
I can tell you why
I agree or disagree.
junseth:
I will say this though,
I am a very strong believer in the Chicago school of economics which says that deep markets are efficient. So, inflation, for me, tends to be uninetresting, because you can very very easily hedge against it.
junseth: Hahaha. Well, fair enough. Give me a few minutes.
I have to leave my office.
I'll come back and do more of this.
mircea_popescu: compared to this,
i couldn't care less what ipads cost.
