mircea_popescu: by
the
time
they';re going
to jail everyone is anyway, so,
they are correctly judging -- better hang for
the sheep along with
the calf, we're all dead men anyway.
mircea_popescu: and why not. if it works it works so
they get a little more juice, and if it doesn't work... not like anyone's going
to jail.
shinohai: The same lie Bruce Fenton
tried
to sell when attempting
to resurrect it
mircea_popescu: but
thart's ok, as
they actually breed
the requisite sort of idiot
themselves.
mircea_popescu: this is how
teh usg does
things, and always has. it
takes a special sort of idiot
to actually buy into
their web of nonsense
mircea_popescu: that vesseness could run his scam foundation a little longer by pretending
to
take donations "for paying gavin's salary" was simply an expedient cover-up. gavin was getting a nsa salary anyway.
to pretend like "btc donations" from suckers paid for it was cheap enough a cover-up.
mircea_popescu: all
the usg experts, from gavin down, were from
the get-go paid in fiat
to see what
they can do
to further fiat interest in
the republic ; no more.
mircea_popescu: stop
talking about it ? won't happen. stop being meaningfully involved ?
they never were. which of 0, infinity was your notion ?
user705: if ever
there was a great price entry point is when people like
them quit BTC
mircea_popescu: user705 inasmuch as it's not an idea, yeah.
they all have
the same ideas, being
the same item.
trinque: must be wisdom of
the crowd or something
trinque: user705: weird how different people all seem
to push in
the same direction eh?
mircea_popescu: hey, ustards perceive "they got names", and gotta burn 'em
to cash in. it's
the way of progress!
shinohai: Seems zooko also started a new scam coin ... Imma hafta come out of retirement for
these lulz
user705: oh mike hearn had
that bright idea a while ago
shinohai: How long befire
the BTC phork crowd says "WE SHOULD
TOTALLY DO
THIS!!!!!"
shinohai: Sure,
the foundation has
trb.exe available on website
lobbes: Then I started reading
the "trolls",
then finally was lead here (I
think it was pankkake
that
tipped me off).
Then, it hit me like a "shit-ton of bricks (tm)": I'm retarded!
The herd is retarded! I better stop, listen, learn from
these evidently superior beings before I'm
toast.

This was exactly my case. I have same appreciation
towards folx here as ag3nt_zer0. I bought first btc at $20 for purposes of silk road back in early 2014. Price quickly shot up. Found
tardstalk 'securities'. I
thought "Wow, pretty graphs and charts. Lemme
try and catch
the next boat11!"
☝︎ user705: is
there a way
to do a
trb node not on Linux?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: trinque
that perverse state is called borderline personality disorder ; aka wrist sleeves.
they generally end up playing enabler
to all sorta nutty males.
mircea_popescu: get a fg, run
tests on it, report results, what have you.
mircea_popescu: or stand up a log bot, or whatever. run a
trb node. run
the ada implementation passed around recently of a big number calculator and produce 655356!
to compare with
the given values.
mircea_popescu: which is hysterical on its face. you... had
to leave... because... it ... didn't suck ?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
trip does not cure ; know plenty of girlies who studied "criminalisticologies" in us, came back laden with debt,
trying
to GET BACK.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hormel prolly status symbol. i have record of "eating at mcdo every sunday" being
top of list of old woman
trying
to sell convenience marriagfe
to her poetic daughter.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-17 23:44 mircea_popescu: you know, if it seems a good next step
then it likely is.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i believe it's beause
they very literallty and genuinely
think
the us crap is good.
trinque: now
there's a perverse state in which
to be
trapped; relying on
the other's insanity
to preserve
the delusion of one's own sanity.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of naught in particular, isn't it shocking
there's no pornstar named "natasha kinksky" ?
trinque: possibly not. perhaps
the monkeybrain prefers insane authority
to none.
trinque: asciilifeform: no, lol, it was not american expats at
the San Jose mcdonalds.
mircea_popescu: o yeah, for some reason
they
think us stuff is great. my elite grocer,
that stocks everything including fine french wines ?
they
think HORMEL is
the best brand of cured meats.
ag3nt_zer0: asciilifeform: for instance, I may have
traded my coins for doge or whateva
shinohai: ag3nt_zer0: One needs
to keep
the antenna locked
to receive
the clear signal!
trinque: mircea_popescu: I did see a rather long line at
the McD's in San Jose when
there
a111: Logged on 2017-05-15 15:38 mircea_popescu:
there is no possiblity of meaning outside of a structure of authority, and
the authority can not be predicated on
the meaning.
ag3nt_zer0: asciilifeform... I just mean
there is a lot of noise and
this place seems
to be
the clear signal... and I say "seems" simply because I don't understand it as well as I would need
to dispose of
that qualifier
mircea_popescu: see, cuz if
they looked like "u of maryland goes on horseback", half
the schmucks seated backwards or whatnot,
then it'd make sense. but how did
these people manage
to acquire riding skills with
the constant
tapdistraction ?
mircea_popescu: but
the
truly mindboggling
thing,
to me, was
that
they were all fine riders. somehow. i do not know how. feet correctly in
the saddle, not one, all,
the men, children, women, etc. proper grips on at least half
the reins. and so on.
mircea_popescu: and in general you know, "i'm not interested in LOOKING at
the horses, but where could i snap a selfie from ?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform notrly. horse is very loving, welcoming, girlfriend like animal. it's going
to help you in whatever way it can / you need.
mircea_popescu: this with
the horse underneath! which you know, needs your attention.
mircea_popescu: yep, you guessed it, at least a quarter of
the riders were
taping away at any point.
mircea_popescu: trinque hey, you have no idea. so sunday was large celebration, including parade with literal 1k horses.
the people ON
the horses ?
trinque: well not mircea_popescu, but asciilifeform passes
them
trinque: every idiot you pass on
teh street glued
to
the glass rectangle is doing
this. "omg, I exist, look
there are notifications on
the rectangle for 'me'"
mircea_popescu: i do not
think so.
these schmucks never had any money,
they're
the poor generation.
their parents, yes, but
these are
the djb street urchins not
the djbs.
mircea_popescu: it's a strange perversion of capitalism (whereby if it's not useful it's not worth jack) into displayism (whereby if it's not being seen it's not worth having). so you gotta... DO
things with your bitcoin for your bitcoin
to exist (not individually, but categorically -- a store of value "does not exist" in
this addled worldview.)
mircea_popescu: so now -- why owning a ferrari is nothing, unles you can DO
things with it, such as ride it around a clump of "your friends" ?
mircea_popescu: to which
the only correct answer is
the obvious, "of course he did lol"
mircea_popescu: "maybe mp paid everyuone around me
to
tell me
they'd be all impressed if i married
the hairbrush???"
mircea_popescu: not simply because it empowers rapist-racist-pre-trump-trump-me, annoying as
that may be ; but because it puts in question
the integrity of
their valuation mechanism.
mircea_popescu: which is why when i showed something awful
the "here, you can pay people
to do
things
to
themselves" it BURNEDDDDDDD
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform elstards are educated from birth
to value
things only by reference
to
the herd. it is not important for
them
to have a great fucktoy at home ; but it is very important for
them
to
take home
the girl all
the other dorks imagine would be a great accomplishment
to
take home.

☟︎ floog: i converted my btc
to ltc until post-aug1
ag3nt_zer0: all I can say is
thank god I found
this sanctuary of
the guardians heh... otherwise who knows what I would be doing with my coins right now...
ag3nt_zer0: yes I am
trying
to get out by
tomorrow asciilifeform
ag3nt_zer0: ok
thank you all kindly for
the responses
shinohai: (Especially now
there is importprivkey function)
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 if it doesn't
take a ssd, prolly not useful for bitcoin node. otherwise i vaguely recall ppl
trying
the raspberry pi and blockverification
taking
too long
ag3nt_zer0: trinque no just worried about getting
them out at august first
☟︎ trinque: "I want
to plan for my future, as expediently as possible." ?
shinohai: Generating keypairs, etc on
trb node has worked reliably for me 100% of
time since inception
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: really ought
to keep up with
the logs instead of doing
these drive-bys
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu... yes I need
to do
this... is it more expedient for a newb like me
to attempt
this on my old G5 or should I
try it on another rasbpi?
mircea_popescu: if
this is
too inconvenient/complicated/expensiuve whatever, sell your bitcoin, now, and put
the fiat in a fiat bank.
ag3nt_zer0: trinque it was just !!v instead of
the old !v
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 you are
to assume
that no "generated" key is legitimate or will work reliably at any point.
mircea_popescu: so you know, run a proper node, make a new address
there, send whatever coinbase/bitaddress/whatever held funds
to it and be done.
ag3nt_zer0: but am i just
to assume
that ANY key generated is legitimate and will work when
time comes?
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0
the point of a private key is
that only you know it.
ag3nt_zer0: will display
the correspnding pubkey... if it did
this and everything matched can I
take
this as absolute
that I am controlling and privkey will work when I want
to send in 10 years?
ag3nt_zer0: might anyone help me with
this question? I created a paper wallet using bitaddress.org
transferred
to little airgapped raspberry pi... not wanting
to print on my wifi capable printer, I chose
to write down
the numbers. Now I am wanting
to get my coins
the hell off coinbase before
the nonsense and am concerned
that my private key is legit. so, I learned
that I could go back on bitaddress.org, offline of course, and click "wallet de
