mircea_popescu: four dollars and fifty cents, for distinction has its charm in Nevada as well as elsewhere, and there were plenty of patriotic souls out of employment; but to get a legislative hall for them to meet in was another matter altogether. Carson blandly declined to give a room rent-free, or let one to the government on credit.

mircea_popescu: There is something solemnly funny about the struggles of a new-born Territorial government to get a start in this world. Ours had a trying time of it. The Organic Act and the "instructions" from the State Department commanded that a legislature should be elected at such-and- such a time, and its sittings inaugurated at such-and-such a date.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're not going to die man. at the very most, you'll be set in a room for 30 years' stretch. at a time where you're old enough to not really miss women so much anymore, and old enough to really appreciate the stability of 3 regular, predictable meals a day.

mircea_popescu: brb making a reddit survey.

mircea_popescu: i wonder how much stuff like "let's make a readable, minimal implementation of bitcoin" would increase adoption.

mircea_popescu: Back in 2013, a separate individual claiming to be Dread Pirate Roberts stated that he/she “didn’t start the Silk Road, my predecessor did.”

mircea_popescu: Dratel instead said that Ulbricht only ran Silk Road for “a few months” after he created it. Finding it “too stressful,” Ulbricht reportedly handed the website’s reins over to others.
