asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: see log.

asciilifeform: the former.

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: because it's going to 0?

asciilifeform: scorched motherfucking earth.

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: i won't sell for fiat because it gets taxed.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, as far as i can tell, is right, and there is nothing to buy.

asciilifeform: because that was my very puzzle!

asciilifeform: nubbins`: ~which~ shit

asciilifeform: AHA

asciilifeform: dont want to see usd.

asciilifeform: ~i~

asciilifeform: and again no

asciilifeform: dun need these for anything. i don't even own iron that could run eulora.

asciilifeform: problem is that nobody's selling anything i need.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-03-2016#1423610 << why would i care what ~seller~ does with it. ☝︎

asciilifeform: 'On what grave, is carved the name of the self you lost?' -- from nubbins` link

asciilifeform still has a few sealed ones in crate

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ah right

asciilifeform: there is literally nothing to buy

asciilifeform: buy what?

asciilifeform: well question was re how to usefully burn it.

asciilifeform: it can't at any point become usd.

asciilifeform: didja miss the part where i refuse to give ANY of it to usg?

asciilifeform: neither

asciilifeform: nubbins`: didja catch up with the log?

asciilifeform: gifts from god?

asciilifeform: i mean, if nubbins` thinks that mircea_popescu runs an arse-mouth system and buys own subscriptions, what does he pay divs from?

asciilifeform: real vs what ?

asciilifeform: ( easily 95+% of it all iirc )

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-03-2016#1423537 << you forgot mpex subscriptions ☝︎

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: !s from:mircea_popescu divesting

asciilifeform: it.

asciilifeform: not me

asciilifeform: see yest. logz.

asciilifeform: dun work no moar.

asciilifeform: i'd buy'em but money broke. ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform had nfi

asciilifeform: urgh

asciilifeform: congrats! Z80 or 6502?

asciilifeform: wb nubbins`

asciilifeform: ^ shouldn't mpex be denominated in gold pieces-of-eight now?!1111

asciilifeform: 'got any moar of that sole known antiinflatronium you don't want? we'll buy!'

asciilifeform: ^ usg says 'ty mp, have moar fine fresh printolade'

asciilifeform: ;;ticker

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-03-2016#1423477 << the way to kill pools is to hash he WHOLE BLOCK, rather than header. but as mircea_popescu pointed out, it is not merely ~pools~ that are colluding, but actual ~miners~, so it solves nothing. ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: want an addr, mine a block.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-03-2016#1423470 << trivially: an addr is valid if a coinbase some time fed it, and not otherwise. (in this hypothetical alt) ☝︎

asciilifeform: i used it when i went to c2 ( though i paid with usd. )

asciilifeform: enjoy mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: pet purrs slowly in its perch.

asciilifeform: (believe, i tried)

asciilifeform: l0l pet could not even be persuaded to go to the funfest c3!

asciilifeform: the one thing i cannot buy with whatever.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wish i had any time.

asciilifeform: (though it isn't as if i have anywhere to go to.)

asciilifeform: wonder if that plane ticket thing is still around.

asciilifeform: aha neato.

asciilifeform: what's an ecu

asciilifeform: the one thing i pointedly won't do with it is give it to usg.

asciilifeform: well no shit, if this were an easy problem, i'd say nothing.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun play.

asciilifeform all ears for ideas re: on what to blow a modest (~10kusd) worth of coin while it is still worth something. ☟︎

asciilifeform: zhirinovsky.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-03-2016#1423367 << aha! in brin's ver, it was a traveller, who didnt like the food, and before packing up, spitefully shouts 'hey guyz! some of you have horns!' ☝︎

asciilifeform: but logically == to the linked ver.

asciilifeform: imho more elegant.

asciilifeform: brin's version had h cuckolds grow horns, which only ~other blokes~ could see.

asciilifeform: so yes, sultan only told the cuckolds what they already knew...!

asciilifeform: ^ hitler must be buyin'.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i prefer the sultanic one, with the dead chx, moar.

asciilifeform: Hm

asciilifeform: ;;google blue eyes suicide

asciilifeform: old lulzy maths riddle

asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu know the 'blue eyes puzzle' ?

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-03-2016#1423335 << it begins? ☝︎

asciilifeform: one of which seems to me, to be the conclusion that anyone with btc is bagholder.

asciilifeform: which i am trying to derive the implications of.

asciilifeform: nah mircea_popescu is doing precisely the logical thing.

asciilifeform: abdication?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu does know what it is called when a king divests, though.

asciilifeform: besides the manometer speaks for itself.

asciilifeform: wasn't asking for.

asciilifeform: and trading for usd is better?

asciilifeform: such as?

asciilifeform: ~not~ slowly sell it?

asciilifeform: well mircea_popescu , what do you think they would do?

asciilifeform: what's sad is also that the observables from my console are only with great difficulty distinguishable from above scenario.

asciilifeform: except i admit that i only expected 'this' to happen after cia murdered mircea_popescu and took his coin... ☟︎

asciilifeform: ~this.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: now we have no pistol, just bare hands.

asciilifeform: even microshit is not yet gone.

asciilifeform: but every computer user knows that a bad schelling point can take generations to dislodge.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fairnuff
