mircea_popescu: contrary to any justifications people use to explain to themselves why they aren't picking this very juicy, extremely low hanging fruit (which plenty might even be right in doing, but not usually for the reasons they give - it's more like, they suck at doing the slow, patient, dilligent sort of work that this, like all bureaucracy entails, etc)
mircea_popescu: anyway : unlike the average start-up my own business thing (which yes, 90% fail anyway) you have some major advantages, in that you're not coming up with an idea and hoping a market finds you, but on the contrary, the fgucking market is begging you alreadyt.

mircea_popescu: and if you disagree it's more important, here's a simple plan : go buy a knife, walk to the closest cop, and stick it in his gut.
mircea_popescu: this is more important, not less important. you live in the street because "renter flees" before "there's no hosting because dc flees".
mircea_popescu: but i dun care what you meant. i care what i meant. and what i meant is, you don't live in the street because "if landlord hears btc he flees".

mircea_popescu: yes. da fuck do you care, colocate the boxes and let them ddos until they fall over.
mircea_popescu: guaranteed business, etc, what exactly is going on, raining money where you people live ? obamacare paychecks ?

mircea_popescu is kinda curious whether/if someone is finally going to bite the bullet and make themselves useful by making an actual host.
mircea_popescu: all sorts of actual untruths are pushed, all sorts of marginal if inconvenient truths are systematically ignored, what made this particular minor lie so popular with the "educators" ?

mircea_popescu: "PGP is not as important as people think. As long as both parties use an encrypted email (and connect with a VPN, TOR, TAILS, whatever) you're fine. This is because if they get access to the webmail all information is decrypted either using automatic PGP decryption (eg: Countermail) or locally on their computer (somewhere this information is going to be stored)."
