mircea_popescu: <mike_c>
i am an early fan. needs more pics of casascius coins though. << this is a point. topical, related, meaningful pics are a good add.
decimation: asciilifeform:
I would like someone from 'grub' to explain in what what 'grub2' was an improvement
mircea_popescu: in other news,
i got a spam comment from "Discount True Religion Canada Online". which seems just about right.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform orly ? is this how the two hotties
i had sundaes with earlier were made ?
mircea_popescu: apparently ##Linux which is fucking weird.
i thought linus owned the term linux
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic> Linus is a drunk,
I don't know why anybody expects anything different from him. << linus actually has a point.

TomServo: mircea_popescu: but that's what you were there for right ? << Indeed, but still... wow.
I was ill prepared.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic> You'll have to let me know what trick is required to target the crud and not the good stuff.
I would personally like to drink more quebecois beer.. << Practice. Also hard liquor.
midnightmagic: You'll have to let me know what trick is required to target the crud and not the good stuff.
I would personally like to drink more quebecois beer..
midnightmagic:
I suppose that's so if you think your own body has no value.
midnightmagic:
I don't really care much about his attitude. But his brain is malfunctioning because he is drunk all the time.
midnightmagic: Linus is a drunk,
I don't know why anybody expects anything different from him.
BingoBoingo: mod6: Thanks.
I'll make sure cazalla sees the praise.
BingoBoingo: Poettering on Linus: "But more importantly,
I'd actually put some blame on a certain circle of folks that play a major role in kernel development, and first and foremost Linus Torvalds himself. By many he is a considered a role model, but he is quite a bad one. If he posts words like "[specific folks] ...should be retroactively aborted. Who the f*ck does idiotic things like that?"
thickasthieves: AM is selling $0.33/GH now,
i wonder if thatmeans theyll pay divs again
mircea_popescu:
i guess ex-drpk bureaucrats can probably find job writing forum prospectuses.
gribble: Sent 7 minutes ago: <sgornick> Re: Qntra.net,
I registered @Qntra on Twitter before some griefer /squatter did. Then put a Twitterfeed to push tweets from the RSS feed. When you want the twitter acct, let me know what e-mail to assign it to. It can't be an e-mail already used for any other twitter account.
☟︎ dignork: Naphex: still, as far as
I can see they fail to provide any usefull functionality besides what already done in counterparty. Impossibility to spend/destroy assets by dumb wallet is a nice touch, but that's it.
Naphex:
i mind yet*, still checking it out
Naphex: dignork: yeah, the only thing that
i mind is that you can't have asset tracking servers track everything
dionyziz: Thanks for the link,
I will read it.
mircea_popescu: and with this
i'll have to take a meeting, but will be back in an hour or so. cheers.
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: The problem
I am trying to solve in OpenBazaar is in particular how two pseudonymous agents can trust each other without knowing each other.
dionyziz:
I'm familiar with the concept of GPG-signing a personal contract.
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: OK,
I will read this.
dionyziz:
I don't think it's a solved problem.
dionyziz: As
I said, in OpenBazaar we don't try to solve the problem of shipping.
brianhoffman: hey all
i have to run. very busy day but
i am enjoying the convo.
i will be back.
dionyziz: thestringpuller:
I live in the EU :)
dionyziz: And
I'm interested in these ideas, but OpenBazaar is not trying to find solutions there.
dionyziz:
I do not see why this is a necessity.
brianhoffman: well
i think that mirrors real life rather well. as your “image” becomes larger your activity becomes less indistinguishable from others.
mircea_popescu:
i think you maybe misunderstand how safety is effectually implemented.
mircea_popescu:
i gather. but the thing is, that challenge will unravel whatever model you may build.
brianhoffman: but
i don’t believe we’re proposing a solution here at the moment for that challenge
brianhoffman:
i don’t think that is really in scope for OpenBazaar
brianhoffman: well
i guess my response at least initially would be are we really trying to solve that issue here...
punkman: that's when
I ask you to GPG sign something
mircea_popescu: dionyziz
i am keeping it in mind, which is why
i asked diretly :)
brianhoffman:
I think
I see what you’re saying in regards to reimplementing gpg. This is a valid point.
mircea_popescu: you know
i've done nothing much re bitcoin otc. it's mostly nanotube's thing.
dionyziz: As for your question regarding improvements over your bitcoin-otc wot work,
I'd like to first say that we appreciate the work you've done.
mircea_popescu: well that was @ brianhoffman. you,
i asked how you aim to improve the wot as it is
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: Yes, my rating is basic on bitcoin-otc, but
I feel
I have an understanding of your work.
dionyziz: mircea_popescu: Yes,
I have sent and received some ratings and used this system to exachange bitcoin.
brianhoffman: mircea_popescu did you see dionyziz’ paper that we have up online?
i posted the link earlier
dionyziz:
I'm very interested in hearing them, especially if you disagree with our proposals.
brianhoffman:
I can play guitar but
I’m not in a heavy metal by any means lol
dionyziz:
I heard you guys have some thoughts on our web-of-trust ideas.
brianhoffman: and also
I am not the guitarist for Deicide lol
brianhoffman: ok
I’ve got @dionyziz here and
I think he may have some questions for you all
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu:
i don't recall, do we like j tucker ? << o mr. sleepyhead? there's definitely worse muppets out on the "conference" scene.
pete_dushenski: "Everything published was very logical. But, consider this, what if you were to create a awesome title?
I ain't suggesting your content is not good., however suppose you added something that makes people want more?

mircea_popescu: was drinking a bottle of Jack Daniel's every night before
I went onstage and another bottle while
I was playing. That starts catching up with you real quick, and
I started going blind in my right eye. So after a nice scare at the doctor's office about four years ago,
I stopped."
mircea_popescu: Benton: "Yeah, they're real nice guys. We're in the process of suing them right now — for slander and everything else, dude. They're going around telling people
I'm addicted to methamphetamine. You know what? Who hasn't experimented with a few things in their life? Big deal. So what if
I experimented? They did, too! But, look,
I don't even drink anymore, man.
I mean,
I'll have a Heineken every once in a while, but

I hate Eric and Brian Hoffman more than anything in this world, and
I will not rest until
I put shit straight with the fans. Up 'til now, everybody thinks
I kicked them out of the band, but nobody kicked anybody out. They quit on their own, and
I wanna set the record straight in regard to those two fuckin' pricks."

i think there is a way to sucesfully use nlocktime without having to worry about doublespend
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman:
i know that Dionysis feels the same way so please don’t be turned off by anything we throw out there as we’re not trying to stomp out others who are smarter on this stuff <<< well the s/use/leverage/g thing you got going is a bit weird.
mircea_popescu: punkman: danielpbarron: we could have 10 gribbles and you could check that counterparty is authed against X of those <<
i recall discussions about wot bridges in here too. none of it is insurmontable, except, making a p2p wot.
oda_krell:
I suppose the 10min temp voice is one's chance to really shine in here, huh? Song and dance routine maybe? Anyway, don't have anything to really say right now, but
I like to lurk from time to time.
brianhoffman: hey
i hate to run but
i have to.
I heard from @dionyziz and he said he will be able to drop in a little later.
I will DM you on Twitter @danielpbarron when he’s available and then just drop in say hey to continue the talk if you don’t mind.
