Namworld: No, just by adding the term Bitcoin to targeting. So basically people that liked pages and so on or occasionally mention the term "Bitcoin", I believe.
punkman: I don't think Stellar was ever decentralized. They just had more than one server.
mircea_popescu: gernika lulzy. i wonder if we see the same nonsense emerge in btc.
Namworld: Eh, $50 for the heck of it and there was actually sales, but I didn't put a tracking link so hard to say. I have to change that immediately.
Namworld: The demographic isn't as random as I'd usually see, it's 66% males between 18-35
mircea_popescu: ;;google how i trolled my imbecile roommate by custom tailoring the ads facebook showed him (nevermind what either having roommates or hanging out with imbeciles says about me).
mircea_popescu: Namworld: uh... Facebook ads system numbers are dodgy <<< welcome to the club ? fb is a scam. this has been said here i dunno how many times, but by pretty much everyone ever involved.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: back to ddosing websites by the looks of it << did it only last 5 minutes or do i liek magically not see it again
Namworld: uh... Facebook ads system numbers are dodgy... I got a 35% click through rate. What kind of ads get a 35% click through rate? 1 click for 3 impressions.
adlai: it wiggles https://i.imgur.com/U4itS4a.gif
assbot: I'm devastated, got hacked and lost 40.5 BTCs. Please, help me find who did it : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1u3aoCw )
mircea_popescu: and with that i wish you a merry christmas!
mircea_popescu: i thought it's the world's most popular fast food dish
gernika: I agree - a german burrito seemed unappealing just as a concept, let alone as something concrete made out of that run down kitchen, but apparently at the time I thought that was my best option.
mircea_popescu: (speaking of which, the doner in germany surpasses the doner in turkey i hear)
gernika: I had a burrito there. It was not a great burrito. The interior was quite drab.
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's not time-invariant.
mircea_popescu: prev heard good things of it which is why i asked.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> reading for the first time about 'joyent', i couldn't help but wonder - what are these 'technologies' actually for? if they were erased from the good earth overnight, would i notice ? <<< if node.js were erased you would notice.
gernika: mircea_popescu I have not heard of Room77 - google tells me it's some sort of hotel site.
gernika: Exactly. I slept very little while I was trying to follow their recipe.
gernika: Man. I used to subscribe to this forum called the Micropreneuer academy. I see now that this was exactly their propsal: spam to make money while you sleep.
asciilifeform: i.e., that if we somehow do 'cloud' correctly, no one actually has to think about cpu and disk, these can live in some 'meta' heavens
decimation: somehow I guess there is a market for selling vms to folks

gernika: The post on bitcoin in Argentina reminds me of Bitcoin in berlin. There was supposed to be some thriving bitcoin scene in Kreuzberg. In fact when I went to visit there was a single crappy cafe with a cheap Bitcoin sign hanging in the window.

mircea_popescu: ok, but i wanna buy it.
mircea_popescu: i want to trade this millionaire benjies for busker benjies please.
mircea_popescu: who the shit writes this idiocy. i want a name.
undata: now that I've made these graphs, clearly the hard work is done
undata: "One of the consequences of these graph is that if the real name of the sender of a single transaction belonging to the entity is identified, then Satoshi mystery identity will be revealed. I bet that this will happen in the days following this post." < hilarious
mircea_popescu: anyway, since we're doing that sorta thing, i guess i never linked http://trilema.com/2014/bitcoin-in-argentina-exactly-nothing-to-do-with-the-derps/
decimation: heh I know
asciilifeform: 512 bit << i can do that here, lol
mircea_popescu: whatever way you feel like i guess.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i dunno, he's in BA, perhaps you can do an interview with the foundation's latest hire
mircea_popescu: <mats_cd03> i can hear them from here and they're at least a mile away << so they're demonstrating good lungs eh.
mats_cd03: i bet 1btc they give up before 7PM so they can pregame for a party tonight
mats_cd03: i can hear them from here and they're at least a mile away
cazalla: btw i logged into the habbo hotel confrence, all the sponsored booths are pretty much bots, hardly any guests either for me to troll :\
mats_cd03: ya. i'm going out tonight, so if someone wants to, you've got about a day to beat me to it
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 of course, seeing how the prize is ~10x a fiverr, that article is highly arbitrageable i guess.
mircea_popescu: i fucking hate fiverrr
undata: right, I'd assumed that anyone working on bitrig was rejected from openbsd proper
jurov: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2odray/distributed_markets_for_drone_operators/ << i don't see how this ever can go wrong
BingoBoingo: I thought she spelled her nick pikachu as in the pokemon
ben_vulpes: i'm intrigued to see if any of my contacts pick up when i come back.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> <mircea_popescu> "retail" integrations aside, i found the actual buy/sell market totally functional. << cristina's been cracking down.
mats_cd03: wishing i'd be free of the 9-5 drudgery
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> but ba bitcoin market is in complete shambles and im getting sick of it. << "retail" integrations aside, i found the actual buy/sell market totally functional.
mats_cd03: kinda bored, i've been holding down an IT job since june
danielpbarron: i've done quite a few face-to-face trades via localbitcoins; never used their escrow. just used it to post my phone number
nubbins`: anyway, i'll probably just switch over to Stonehenge paper after this shit runs out.
fluffypony: I'm going to become carnivorous to stop abuse of plants
nubbins`: i was expecting $2-$2.25 per sheet
nubbins`: which, i have to say, is a fucking bogus price
nubbins`: i.e. a couple neckbeards & wizards puffing themselves up
nubbins`: i do keep hearing buzz about bitcoin in .ar but figured it was just like everywhere else
mircea_popescu: for the record, bitpagos is some delaware start-up, looking to be bought out. it's playing the numbers game. the numbers are based on what numbers usually are based on, in fraudlandia i mean the internet.
nubbins`: "your email address is invalid" "which one did i use?" "nubs@nubs.nubs"
mircea_popescu: absolute fucking astroturfing. idiot faux-bitcoin-foundation types push this sort of arrangement where i dunno, they buy an empanada to random people to say they're "accepting bitcoin" then populate all sorts of crudiferous web2.0 apps, maps and random websites.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea.
nubbins`: i feel like
mircea_popescu: "hey, I want to do x" "so get in wot" "but i have no need of it". well...
mircea_popescu: badon: But I don't trade bitcoin, I have no need of gribble. << lmao
Vexual: i bet vuples could fly that thing, 4 joysticks and a debug panel
mats_cd03: i thought it'd get better, but it didn't, just one guy derping
Ralt: this is about all the information I have :)
Ralt: so... I was just curious and went in.
Ralt: I heard that there were lispers around, and that this'd be an interesting place. Is all
BingoBoingo: I dunno I'd want to be around anon derp and armed anon friends, maybe they're dumb and think heist?
badon: BingoBoingo: I'll take the anon derp's cash.
badon: BingoBoingo: That helps, but I don't think it helps as much as everyone wishes it did.
badon: Vexual: You're not too far off the mark. I'm heavily involved in business.
Vexual: cool, i suppose we are in agreeance somewhere
badon: Vexual: You misunderstand, I'm saying I DON'T want to quantify people, because it's impossible.
badon: I'm sure somebody has a mathematical model of different ways to quantify trust.
BingoBoingo: <badon> My experience has been that these trust models are useless. They're better than complete anonymity, because they end up having some practical monetary value, but the abuse of the trust always eventually becomes more profitable than honoring the trust. Therefore, if I don't trust you, I don't care what your PGP key says. << Trust isn't a point system though, it is a name system.
BingoBoingo: <badon> If someone betrays my trust, I can't punch them in the head with their PGP public key. << You can effectively indict them with the text they've signed
Vexual: i kinda work free association
badon: Vexual: I have no idea what you just said.
mats_cd03: i'm struggling to take you seriously
Vexual: and i f you were invested in yourself badon, i'd trust you to do business on the net
badon: If someone betrays my trust, I can't punch them in the head with their PGP public key.
badon: In fact, my business style is to be suspicious of anyone who insists on formal contracts. If they don't trust me, I don't want to do business with them, and vice versa.

badon: I feel dirty every time I send a password to nickserv or chanserv on IRC, but in my case, I use SASL and the Tor hidden service, so it's not plaintext like it might be for ordinary IRC connections.
badon: So I've been told :)
badon: maybe there's something I'm simply not aware of.
badon: I can't think of anything.
BingoBoingo: I don't really know how you are being prevented. You joined and a person voiced you, right?
badon: Hmm, OK, then I'm still skeptical anything at all is being accomplished by preventing me from speaking.
badon: I've never seen anything happen here...
BingoBoingo: I didn't make the system, I just join it
badon: Oh, I see.
badon: I'm very skeptical that's necessary.
badon: But I don't trade bitcoin, I have no need of gribble.
decimation: well I'm going to retire, good evening gents
mircea_popescu: i wonder why no laser welding actually.
