mircea_popescu: uk deficit is powered by a huge
trade imbalance, not some sort of local savings.
mod6: this is
trolling, no?
r0nin-: youve got
that backwards
r0nin-: <+mircea_popescu> and
the uk specifically is headed for a shitter of epic proportions.
they've
to retool, but have no space
to borrow
to support capital costs and no strength in
the labour market.
r0nin-: <+mircea_popescu>
this is ahead of sweden (1% inflation champs),
the uk (5% deficit and 90% debt
to gdp LOL), denmark, you name it.
r0nin-: <+mircea_popescu> in other random lulz : romania closed 2016 as
the strongest economy in
the eu. 1.3% drop in inflation, <1% budget deficit, 38.5% debt
to gdp. stable local currency yoy.
mircea_popescu: infanta of spain does have a sucky job in a sucky society, but at least she gets
the fucking pearls. it makes some limited sense.
mircea_popescu: yes, but local has
the excuse of local. it's one
thing
to be rice, or obama,
the system pays. but being nemtsov ?
mircea_popescu: the most precious item is when cardbord-person makes evaluations as
to
the future!
mircea_popescu: (and , of course,
they're making
the eternal soviet mistake, spending 5bn on "research", except in healthcare, ai, batteries, self-driving vehicles, satellites etc. ie,
trying
to spend money
to rewrite history with
themselve in
the picture. if you have a fucking clue you never invest in R&D in "hot" shit)
mircea_popescu: in other words,
there's no greek stoppers for britain, once it goes it goes.
mircea_popescu: who would pay
to fuck a british bag is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: the
thing is, places like italy or spain have
the natural-born whores
to compensate,
two or more
to
the household.
mircea_popescu: bigger problem sitll,
their major partners are
the us.
mircea_popescu: and
the 40bn dun exist without
the 50bn. you know how
that goes, it's a "high paying bay area job"
mircea_popescu: and see, here's
the
true lulz picture :
they exported 40bn worth of automotives. which looks like a something
mircea_popescu: they still export half a
trillion worth of mostly software and crap (1/3 balance deficit)
mircea_popescu: well, depends how historically. even more historically
they were strong in
textiles.
mircea_popescu: historically
they were strong in engines, and other ind equipment.
mircea_popescu: now
they make houses for russians
to buy,
to have
them stolen away.
the switch
to chinese didn't
take.
mircea_popescu: and
the uk specifically is headed for a shitter of epic proportions.
they've
to retool, but have no space
to borrow
to support capital costs and no strength in
the labour market.
mircea_popescu: this is ahead of sweden (1% inflation champs),

shinohai: She's no good if she refuses
to snort a line of crystal meth from an enlarged penis, you see.
shinohai: But exactly
the
type of girl you get here at
the "siesta rate" btcbase.org/log/2017-08-19#1700693
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, i wonder how many people decided
to have
their kid for
the eclypse. maybe
that way it'll come out speshul ?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-18 03:55 mircea_popescu: i can't find
the
trilema article illustration with
the
three girls under cold water but inserted by reference.
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-19 04:09 mike_c: and assume
that virus ridden wallet will attempt
to clean out
that BTC address
trinque: I have yet
to decide whether being elsewhere, or watching
the bullets fly will be more enjoyable.
trinque: did
the pantsuit mayor last
time, wasn't enough, now nigger mayor who will seriously review serious matters and
things.
trinque: tomorrow we've got Black Lives Matter (TM) marching past my apartment for, whatever it is
they
tweeted about last
a111: Logged on 2016-10-12 01:57 mircea_popescu: back when
their bulls weren't all mechanical yet.
trinque: squeaky bed,
that sorta indoor/outdoor carpet
trinque: ones where
the rate's what, 40-50/day anyway
jhvh1: Birdman:
The operation succeeded.
mike_c: it's about bedtime for me. feel free
to paste in a wish list. if it's quick I'll knock it out for you over
the weekend.
Birdman: hey mike_c is
this a fun project for you or somethin? if you can be bothered
theres some improvements i would ask for
to narrow down what im looking for in
that script,
though im not
trying
to overstep any boundaries here.
mike_c: all in all it was an experience
that felt like
taking a shower in sewage.
mike_c: oh, and for
the common good, I used hitbtc.com
to liquidate BCC.
The interface is a piece of shit, I got multiple javascript errors
throughout process, but bch went in, btc came out.
trinque cranking moar on
the paybot presently, and
this weekend.
trinque: see
the antecessor for something
that doesn't have opinions re: db
trinque: naw, just reading
the
thing.
mike_c: is anybody working
those? I'd be interested in contributing.
mike_c: so given spent address
that used
to have 50 btc, I sell
the BCH, key owner gets free 4.5 btc. not
too shabby.
mike_c: Sure - given keys, I will sell BCH quickly - not
too much regard for
trying
to optimize yield, without being entirely stupid about it. I'll keep.. 10% and give other party 90%. My fee will be minimum 0.5 btc and maximum 10 btc.
mike_c: Reasonably manual process, so
there would be a reasonable fee, but it's free money if you're not going
to do it yourself.
mike_c: I don't
think
the market will last long enough for automated service
to be worth it, but I'll
turn
the cranks if anyone wants me
to clean out some spent keys.
mike_c: there's a decently deep book.
takes 4500 BCH
to get down
to 6% right now.
mircea_popescu: mike_c well, social media has
tits.
though usually of
the useless variety.
mircea_popescu: (though
traditionally
the way "bitcoin doubler" scams work is
that
they pay off initially. and i don't expect
this "bitcoin cash market"
thing is anything else, however it may be interpreted by
the retard crowd)
mircea_popescu: bit of a
time bomb, as i'm sure
these will pop up. first mover advantage i guess.
mike_c: well,
there's only as much money as
the order book is deep
mircea_popescu: (of course in reality
there isn't, but w/e, not
the worst business idea i ever heard.)
mircea_popescu: in principle
there's you know, 100mn dollars worth of free money sittibng on ground, if you get 1% of
that you really don't need a job.
mike_c: this is a good idea. I'll have
to see if I can make
the process less manual.
mircea_popescu: "send me your keys
to SPENT btc addresses, i will send you back some btc"
mircea_popescu: well so
this seems like it is a very credible service, makie a website
mike_c: and assume
that virus ridden wallet will attempt
to clean out
that BTC address
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ah so it's "send me
the keys
to pre-fork addresses, and i'll return btc" ?
mike_c: but I would need
the keys
to wherever
that 1 btc was pre-fork
mike_c: but you know, all I risked was some
time.
mike_c: that actually worked, and
then I sold it.
mike_c: well, now
that I'm
thinking about it, not sure how
that would work as a service. Because I had
to use some assumed virus ridden POS BCH wallet. So I swept out a BTC wallet,
then imported
the address keys into
the assumed virus wallet for BCH
mircea_popescu: let me know if you manage
to actually get anything for
them, i've yet
to meet someone who has.
mike_c: oh, hm, it did go up
the last couple days. good
time
to sell!
mike_c: ok. so
that chart is saying
that a BCH is going for 0.15 BTC. which is about double reality afaict
