danielpbarron: what's the deal with ethereum going to counterparty? I'm curious as to how your short contracts will play out..
jurov: oh mod6 i forgot to suggest to send it as "patch" so that people can just add signatures.. nm, i'll add it there somehow
mircea_popescu: "but but but... i have an atari ?"
gribble: badon was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 2 hours, 14 minutes, and 31 seconds ago: <badon> Yes, I'm doing that now.
jurov: lol i realized the foundation's activity last month can be best described as "DNS scavenging"
mod6: lemme see if i can arm-wrestle with 'fing-gmail

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> jurov http://thebitcoin.foundation/ << got a signed copy of teh declaration thingee you can put up there ? << i've got a copy of mine with SHA512
mircea_popescu: looky here : i can't pay teh foundation its tax because i can't link to a justificative document. wtf do i do now ?

kakobrekla: if i say i didnt id admit to being raped
kakobrekla: InValuable is what i mean i guess
kakobrekla: i mean, it stands for something other than hiv no?
jurov: they asked some documents to prove i'm owner, so i let it go
jurov: when entlds started, i applied for some bitcoin.something but registrar considers it trademark
mod6: nice! i like btc.yt too, just because it's short.
davout: ;;later tell mircea_popescu "<davout> yes, continuous trading seems so much simpler, not sure if there's a blocker i'm missing tho << it's nonsense, what exactly is a future that has no future date ?" <<< didn't say there shouldn't be a maturity date, i said trading should be continuous
Vexual: i get kicked for smoking a reefer now?
BingoBoingo: Lizard hitler has nothing on hawk hitler... dunno I want to disclose how I ended in that scenario...
BingoBoingo had a dream... Where the avaians crashed a ship while trying to depose the reptilians and I managed to kit out a fishing boat with their sweet alien gear...
mircea_popescu: i mean it's not a bad way to waste money, who knows what the reaearching kids come up with
mircea_popescu: so your "i'll trust them when they use one" is kinda an unfairly distant bridge.
mircea_popescu: anyway, long story short, i dun think anyone's doing anything with any rockets. bulava or otherwise.
decimation: yeah as far as I know, except for extremely expensive bezzlar rockets usg owns, there is very little that can be done to intercept ballistic missile once it is past its initial acceleration phase
mircea_popescu: i dunno that the bulava pose any sort of threat to anyone these days tho.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile on other side of the bering straits, http://i.imgur.com/H4V6RJs.gif
decimation: actually the few farm folks I knew generally loved the farm, hated the city
asciilifeform: but aha, death in the great belomor canal, or in trenches, is exciting. wish i had some right now.
decimation: I have it next to me
mircea_popescu: i guess it matters in africa or w/e.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform rural anything doesn't need keeping down. << I embrace it. If the gasenwagen need to burn moar wood to collect me...
BingoBoingo: I honestly think is was stupid for a mixed gang of Hispanics and Black americans to pick on the Bosnians for lacking melanin.
Vexual: do i mell tanqueray?
decimation: I donno, if jury trial is abolished, one might find many more declared and undeclared 'oath keepers' come out of the woodwork
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i'd personally hold on to acquitting anyone accused of shooting a swat derp, if in his home.
asciilifeform: i bet they skinned, tanned the hides.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i know. kinda the problem.
decimation: mircea_popescu: that facebook post above demonstrates there are those who fantasize about doing exactly that I think
mircea_popescu: i guess lol.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> even in usa, can hold bitcoin. << SO far I can even transact.
xinxiwang: I guess no.
decimation: I guess they were forced to not accept bank transfers right?
xinxiwang: no, I am chinese
gribble: I have not seen magicaltux.
asciilifeform: decimation: mayor raid << this was right where i lived at the time.
BingoBoingo: I someone who can graph wants to do a longer piece on difficulty drops in Bitcoin's history...
BingoBoingo: Fuck, I totally failied to recognize major event is major.
assbot: Logged on 26-07-2014 19:37:58; asciilifeform: now, if you're willing to live like a feral dog, it isn't even necessary to leave the country. i recall, a few years ago, an article about one fellow who lived in a dugout in a u.s. national park. for ~30 years. he was caught by pure chance.
BingoBoingo: I don't get paid.
BingoBoingo: UNless they changed shit since last I checked.
BingoBoingo could have a Coinbase USD wallet if I could ACH...
mike_c: makes me feel like i'm missing out on stuff.
mike_c: for the record, i was not really complaining about the amount of australian news. I'm read that stuff and am interested. It was just concerning that coinbase does stuff like expand to 20 countries and enable instant trading with no mention.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, should i file this under scams/fraud? :P
mike_c: cazalla, how do i submit this turd? pastebin?
asciilifeform: 'My dick piece never came off, but I didn't want it to, either. I found a black boyfriend that year, and so I discovered that the cause of my orgasm wasn't actually Tyrone's pee.'
BingoBoingo: Maybe. I also bet I can get more interesting pokemans in my version blue on the original game boy
cazalla: BingoBoingo, i bet this new one breaks within a year or two too
cazalla: i think i might've outdone asciilifeform's buterin diagram.. http://i.imgur.com/8ydqSV7.png http://i.imgur.com/WcdnKZ1.png http://i.imgur.com/dUc5E2b.png
Vexual: I'm not sure how that relates, but it sure is some business science
Vexual: I cream truck don't need no windsheild wipers
BingoBoingo: Honestly the situation with qntra shares is that if you want them you write, or buy into something kind of bubbly. I mean there's far less shares than BTC
cazalla: <mike_c> this is what you get for complaining around here. work! <<< there are plenty of bids for s.qntra shares on MPEx. BingoBoingo and I can't cover every single story, I have no intention to sell my own shares so anyone with the inclination to earn a bit of btc can cover what we miss and sell their shares if so desired
BingoBoingo: I think they tend to still sell themselves as a broker
mike_c: fine, I'll write it up.
BingoBoingo: Point. I'll write it in a few if no one wants to give it a treatment.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> qntra is not #b-a news, it is 'better than coindesk' news. i doubt they use otc. << this is a point, but srsly, write it.
mike_c: huh? I don't want to read reddit and other btc news sites. i thought this was whole point of qntra.
BingoBoingo: ALright I've set my timer. If someone else volunteers to do a COinbase has a USD wallet too nao, I won't give it a one sentence writeup.
decimation: I think the complaint is that whenever the price moves, coinbase suddenly has 'issues'
BingoBoingo: decimation: I actually can see a case for people to buy BTC off of CoinBase and pocket them elsewhere, provided they are willing to lose USD to the machine's quirks
mike_c: qntra is not #b-a news, it is 'better than coindesk' news. i doubt they use otc.
BingoBoingo: I'm coming around to this maybe being newsworthy, but as someone without a bank account I think another USian could do a fairer take.
cazalla: mike_c, buying and holding 2 different things, i use similar sites but it's a one way street
BingoBoingo: I thought US people bought bitcoin in Tijuana from Sinaloa
cazalla: and i don't want to be seen to promote the idea that holding usd on coinbase is a good idea either
cazalla: mike_c, despite my being an aussie, it's not bias, simply interesting news coming from down under past few days, the coinbase thing is meh, plenty of sites have usd type wallets, who really cares imo, they can add the iraqi dinar and maybe i'll post that
decimation: "Early this afternoon, I confirmed (through a private source) what I have suspected since last August. Namely that the daily telephone interaction between MO Governor Nixon and the White House has involved Ms. Valerie Jarrett not the POTUS."
decimation: re: follow-up on those 'oath keepers' who 'volunteered' to guard businesses in Ferguson: https://www.facebook.com/duane.weed.54/posts/988857591129752 << "This past Wednesday (11/26), local police were advised in private briefings that the police (i.e. Federal agencies) now consider the Oath Keepers the threat, not the New Black Panthers, the pro-Michael Brown demonstrators, or ISIS."
decimation: yeah I buy that. more like "Feminist studies" than bitching about some nerd wearing a shirt with scantily clad women
mircea_popescu: i think that's an artefact of approach. in this sense, my pieces loling at usg feminists are properly "Feminist studies"
decimation: I don't think what we do here is 'moldbug studies' but I think the channel is at friendly to some of his conclusions
decimation: and by horsepower I mean "ability to perform arithmetic and convey the results in a timely fashion"
mircea_popescu: yeah, i'd say the top is immanent.
BingoBoingo: I just wonder how the fuck is this his first contact with the law when the fucking FBI and Treasury Department drove down from Peoria to meet me?
mircea_popescu: "Hello, sorry if there is another thread for this kind of post, but I couldn't find one. I'm looking for the best and brightest IT pro in the bitcoin community to be the lead developer in a venture backed bitcoin startup company. The ideal candidate would have at least several years of web application development experience, having built applications from the ground up. A solid understanding of oop and software arch
mircea_popescu: i guess bitcointalk would get fewer posts.
asciilifeform: however i can't promise that i'll be there, in that after, the war.
asciilifeform: i've been prefixing would-bes in conversation with 'after the war...' for some years.
adlai: that's not really news to me, beyond the details about the heater (congratulations, I guess?)
asciilifeform: adlai: know that my own project with mircea, s.nsa, lives in a presently-unheated shed. i shall be installing a propane heater this week.
asciilifeform: i can't look at the phoundation figures without spitting with rage.
BingoBoingo: I'm pretty sure the state of the world is that the one non-mythical person who knows cpp is asciilifeform and he loathes it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol, i'd love for this to get done without any participation at all of mine.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for some reason nobody else wants to. or can. or some combination of these. i can't say.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: path to travel is that i finish me gadget then proceed to fix bitcoind. but in this order.
mircea_popescu: Lindsay Holland, assistant director, received $160k + $2,512. I have no idea what she's doing, other than writing press releases, uploading conference videos to YouTube and giving interviews about how she's paid in Bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: so now since the b-a notary system is down, i can't check on wtf taxes mpoe has to pay
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Either one. Given the CIA's history of applying diverse hires I would expect thestringpuller to be assigned to somewhere lilly white or otherwise homogenous. Probably in a deep cover role
mircea_popescu: I HAVE NO FRIENDS!!1
