mircea_popescu: <@fenn> just dumping this rare element overboard for no reason other than we don't feel like keeping it anymore << speaking of He, it's pretty much the only material in which
usg has a monopoly. china and to some degree russia own the rare earths/heavy metals, but teh u7s got teh heliumz.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform saw the lulzy part where superficial fenn correctly identifies
usg as "a bunch of neonazis that want to gas everybody except themselves" ?
ben_vulpes: proving a case that someone holds btc is a construction that only serves to perpetuate the faith that proving things in
usgistanti or any other fiat "legal" system matters
tardigrade: privacy: oh we must introduce mimblewimble to prb so the
usg goons can't chase us (for our 1.234 btc holdings). because there's tile in bitcoin, you see - despite there not being
mircea_popescu: "hurr durr, let's pretend like
usg-korea is a place and let's pretend it's gonna innovate and bla bla"
mircea_popescu: heh. kinda like how the
usg maintains the pretense of "value" of the usd too huh
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-24#1702759 << eventually this will necessarily happen, yes. "segwit" transactions are stored on the bitcoin network as "anyone can spend", so eventually miners will unroll the segwit chain. how soon is not easily predicted (which is why the idea is stupid/
usg-like, introduces impredictability in the currency)
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu laughed ass off @
usg for the first time when saw that these days equiv of manhattan project, "general + all the zeks that can be found" came to ~same as romanian computer club windows reimplementation.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Remember that when a leftist group gets COINTELPRO'd that it's because
USG wants the shit they are selling
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-22#1701966 << more importantly, and more subtly, it sells you on the notion that "dh is a prerequisite for handshakes", which happens to be false. for one thing, you can shake a friend's hand without the
usg being involved. for another, gossipd does not use dh for handshake. in short, the
usgtardian nonsense is always there to distract you while it implants simpler points deep into the reptile b
☝︎ phf: i suspect there's still some amount of conformance with GOST. i personally think it could be a good practice if done right, but reading some
usg account of it i can see how it can be turned into bureaucratic money maker
mircea_popescu: what matters is whether there's one lord or ten assassinating
usg drones etc. not random joe blow. not AT ALL.
mircea_popescu: and the fact remains, official
usg.medicine has no TREATMENT for sprains, outside of imobilizatiopn and tramadol. which is not treatment.
mircea_popescu: and in this mental model, obviously "if bitcoin matter
usg would regulate it".
mircea_popescu: as they lack the ability to correctly recognize the imanence of transcendents and say "well, in order for maximal government to live up to the name it'll have to be bitcoin, rather than
usg", they're "safe".
mircea_popescu: r0nin- used to. now, bitcoin supplies that asset, and nobody can recall what the
usg was.
r0nin-: a
USG bond is just a time deposit
mircea_popescu: r0nin- alright. the claim isn't that the
usg printing press will somehow malfunction.
mircea_popescu: r0nin- that end is not the problem. the problem is that
usg has no better claim to ontology than a random wow guild.
r0nin-: a
USG bond is just a time deposit
BingoBoingo: And WTF is this German Nazi fixation
USG stooges keep trying to sell through their COINTELPROs? What's wrong with Redneck Pride? (other than appealing to the market?)
BingoBoingo: Seriously though, the motherfuckers will do the whole "I r dissident" song and dance, playing into the
USG cartoon image of Nazis. BUT they refuse to extricate themselves from Actual Spyops like Coinbase.
mircea_popescu: for the same money as confusing bitcoin and
usglade i might confuse andrew anglin for michael moore.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "the taking of pelham 123" is one helluva
usg-film offering. we find that "wall street guys" r criminalz, that everyday mta riders are heroic (even if a little half-breed), and all sorts of good and valuable citizenship lessons for life!
mircea_popescu: this is the important point of having defeated the
usg flailing attempts to prevent actual fee market from developping : it will WORK.
mircea_popescu: then again, sept 11 marked the end of vhs-america. the remainder
usg-sadness is not even at the level of hruschev's "reformed cccp"
mircea_popescu: but yes, glonass slightly better than
usg sats because of orbit style.
mircea_popescu: that dude's a fine example of
usgistani ersatz. he hangs out in "personal finance" talking about finance, all the while his worldview is purely soviet socialism, command economy etc.
mircea_popescu: right, maybe there's some color-of-bits finally imported into bitcoin this way ? please ? so
usg can still has a point in world ?
mircea_popescu: so in this sense it makes securing the chain more expensive, which is a legitimate 2nd goal of
usg.
mircea_popescu: but then again
usg fronts don't need a good plan, they just need A PLAN. something, at all. idiots don't read.
mircea_popescu: for instance :
usg released a convicted felon / ndrngheta man (sony vleisides) for the purpose of pulling a "we build asic miners" scam in bitcoin to buy nsa enough time to make some themselves.
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't be trhe first time
usg's criminal entreprise front pulled this scam.
mircea_popescu: it's always been a major lulz for me that the same idiots howling about "don't reuse addresses -- it makes
usg's pretense of defungibilizing bitcoin that less tenable" never happened to ever mention "don't deterministic wallets, it's on the level of cesar cipher homebrew".
mircea_popescu: once implemented, "theft" dropped like 90%. which is more than any
usgstani effort has, or ever will do.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, amusingly enough, soros' long standing tax evasion conviction or any mention of his decades on the lam have somehow entirely disappeared from all
usg's wikipedias. NEVER OCCURED!!!

usgistani nonsense copy/pasted) and a freenode chan, why not. ~600 accounts logged in (specifically :
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/yDU6G/?raw=true ) , ZERO anyone has to say at all whatsoever. most are related to matrix.org, which is a pile of nonsensical lulz which you're more than welcome to try and make sense of by yourself. in any case, it's an "

☟︎ mircea_popescu: you keep thinking the
usg has actually interesting secrets, rather than the rejected scripts for reality tv we keep turning up in the sikrit vaults.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in soviet, maybe. in
usg, it's really just a social game.
mircea_popescu: o wow, this is like,
usg foreign policy done by the guys they stole it from, so therefore ILLEGITIMATE OMYGERD!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform other than the butthurt of matt levine, who apparently holds the irrational impacted belief that
usg matters/has a future against all possibnle evidence, what about that piece ?
mircea_popescu: whereas
usg is very dedicated to "anti money laundering".
a111: Logged on 2017-08-06 17:46 mircea_popescu: but,
usg corp "producing" item in the vein of linux with serials filed off is no surprise by now. no turkeys, no alternative.

☟︎ mats:
usg has generously provided musk with truckloads of cash, so, i find it probable he's not full of shit
mircea_popescu: certainly us doctors are as egomaniacal idiotic as all other
usg-aryan groups, financial experts, lawyers, etc. however, they are not derelict in their actual work (unlike the financial dorks, but like the lawyhers)
mircea_popescu: somehow that they all use the EXACT FUCKING TWO LINES as per the
usg permit doesn't bother them. what, all lemmings think the same way, they independently and distinctly selected the exact some item for their illustrative needs. and they selected it out of the work in discussion, believe, not out of the reichkomissar's permit.
mircea_popescu: the "government", as
usgtards importantly call the aspie enablers, has gone about as long as it'll go. they nominally control a majority of the territory, but this looks well set for an inflection.
mircea_popescu: once
usg.whatever loses ability to enforce its diktats in oregon wilderness, alaska is ~independent.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you recall, whgen i was trying to get ben_vulpes to collect a bus'worth of local sluts and go throw an unauthorized party around those people the
usg was trying to drive off their land ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i care what
usg thinks its laws are about as much as i think what fat girl thinks her reasons for eating are.
mircea_popescu: hey, 0.1% or so by mass, about 33% or so by output of
usg.nsa/etc is zekware. and i mean this quite literally.
mircea_popescu: btw, where did we lulz at some fake news outlet printing a pdf straight up thereby allowing the
usg goons to pick up their source ?
mircea_popescu: the
usg not holding up to its side of any bargain it ever made -- also surprise. to some people.
mircea_popescu: but, to answer your misshapen general question, "the interest of the government" is to maintain public faith in both the functioning of the system and their ability to control it. whereas taxes are not a concern, the operation of the
usg is financed by chinese credit not by domestic taxation. much like in any other banana republic, which is why greece, or argentina, or etc are so reluctant to collect their tax receipts.
mircea_popescu: what was the
usg gdp/usd backed by, again ? "creativity" was it ?
a111: Logged on 2017-07-14 16:47 mircea_popescu: aaand trinque, incidentally, as it just occured to me -- can you get deedbot payments online by the end of the month ? seems somewhat likely
usg is gonna turn off its "webwallet" bullshits from blockchain.info down.
