assbot: 0 results for 'bitrush' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=bitrush

mircea_popescu: "A friend told me Bitrush was giving away bitcoins and I thought, "What the hell!" I gave them my email and verified my account. Within 12 hours I received my first payout and have received many more since. Pretty nice of them and they even called me to make sure everything was going good for me. No one from any Bitcoin related company has ever called me before and I was amazed at the level of service for spending noth

mircea_popescu: can't someone make a cute cat coin or something ?

mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin Needs a Viral Positive "Pay-it-forward" Campaign"

thestringpuller: i think the layoffs article has started a witch hunt tho, which is never really healthy.

mircea_popescu: http://www.reddit.com/user/mitchwells << this guy's pretty lulzy. a lot of work so obviously tons of forced stuff, but anyway.

mircea_popescu: davout: it occurs to me that there's a rather trivial way to split gavincoins from bitcoins other than randomly attempting a double-spend, simply include some coinbase-tainted coins in your tx after the fork has occurred << this is true but it only works after you got some split. ☟︎

davout: it occurs to me that there's a rather trivial way to split gavincoins from bitcoins other than randomly attempting a double-spend, simply include some coinbase-tainted coins in your tx after the fork has occurred

davout: if i was in a playful mood i'd hop over there and troll them with the payments i received for being a mod there

assbot: For the amount of money that Theymos is paying for new forum software, we could run a bitcoin commercial during the Super Bowl. : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1yYx27h )

cazalla: if only they stumbled across one of the first trilema's i came across.. boy and the tree which turns into a stump for the old man to sit on at the end

punkman: "So I make over a million dollars, use this on things which are clearly intended to benefit the forum and the Bitcoin community instead of myself (even if you think the money could be better used elsewhere), and I get constantly attacked for it..."

mircea_popescu: derp. it seems to me "exchanges" rarely survive a straight year.

mircea_popescu: "It seems to me the bitcoin exchanges and companies like Bitpay will have a large say in how this goes forward. "

mircea_popescu: i just don' tsee how i'd use a browser w/o that

davout: my point is that i'm interested in the content, so as long as html is used sanely it should display in a meaningful way

fluffypony: you can just do it as a CSS media query

assbot: Logged on 12-01-2015 05:34:53; undata: qntra could have a media query to change the width on mobile.. just sayin

mircea_popescu: "And now in practical terms : there once existed this thing called NeoBee. It pretended to be a Bitcoin business, but inasmuch as its purported CEO was not in #bitcoin-assets, it never stood a chance. This is a point oft neglected, but by far the best predictor of success or failure in the Bitcoin space : that channel is where the industry meets. If a purported business is not well represented in there, it is not well

mircea_popescu: in romanian it's actually oyu know, like a poem, with rhyme and errything

ben_vulpes: <benjamindees> [] Just consider that, when Satoshi said "gain a new territory of freedom for several years," he had a reason. Bitcoin is not the end-all-be-all of systems. Mining may not be a long-term solution. But inflation is non-negotiable, regardless. << who are you again?

ben_vulpes: <kakobrekla> [] how do other envision the future when reward goes towards 0. either a btc is worth half a planet or the fees amount per block go up a few orders of magnitude or network is dead << little bit of columns a and b

BingoBoingo: Joe Pesci was not always a clown.

thestringpuller: asciilifeform: don't get abducted. you say such amusing things. (No you don't amuse me like a clown. I do not view you as Joe Pesci)

BingoBoingo: !up asciilifeform Your connection seems iffy today. Is there a van waiting to take you on vacation?

scoopbot: New post on Qntra.net by cazalla: http://qntra.net/2015/01/use-riseup-net-and-read-books-thats-a-paddlin/

mircea_popescu: turns out it's a big deal.

asciilifeform lives in usa for ~22 yrs but in a kind of cultural bubble, and not entirely certain how much of what he thinks of as civilization, remains intact there

mircea_popescu: never been to a funeral us side.

mircea_popescu: "Lets not forget the real paid shills on /r/bitcoin as well. The fuckwits who were paid to spread the usage of 'bit' as a unit. I wonder how much BitPay spent on that one." << that's a kinda funny one. yet another place where derps diverge from mp, derps fail & get burned, derps dun learn.

asciilifeform: why's that annoying you << i have a heuristic for picking lines of inquiry that's heavily weighted against what i know other folks to be doing

mircea_popescu: heh i guess that's a point

mircea_popescu: how is bitpay being run by a fucking cameraman

cazalla: mircea_popescu, he's allege to have run a glamourshots business but claimed he was only the cameraman, i dunno the facts tbh

thestringpuller: we were researching and found a few articles saying he was setting up underage girl shoots

undata: mircea_popescu: yes, but as qntra has what appears to be a fixed pixel width it ends up with rather small fonts on mine

undata: qntra could have a media query to change the width on mobile.. just sayin ☟︎

BingoBoingo: Coindesk for axample is an anus. It looks like it uses Bootstrap (mobile first design turd). I dunno how visual difference between Qntra and an anus is not a net positive.

BingoBoingo: I still doesn't look like one of the many crap spewing anuses pretending to news because of forgoing bootstrap is not a design virtue.

mircea_popescu: i guess my very heavy "not a whore, not a woman" bias is showing.

mircea_popescu: she does a splendid eleanor of aquitanie and generally dowager roles,

mircea_popescu: hepburn's outright annoying as a love interest.

thestringpuller: that guy was a dynamic actor.

thestringpuller: damn that's a good movie

undata: I should script auth better instead of doing it by hand like a derp each time.

[\\\]: is there a cumcoin yet?

assbot: Bernie Sanders opens a new front in the battle for the future of the Democratic Party - Vox ... ( http://bit.ly/1y1BKzS )

assbot: "The woman's job is to find a great man (not good, by the way), suck his cock, wash his socks and write his eulogy." Bitcoin thought leader Mircea Popescu enlightens. : Buttcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1y1yuV1 )

hanbot: lol mircea_popescu http://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/2s23ap/the_womans_job_is_to_find_a_great_man_not_good_by/

hanbot: <thestringpuller> how did you not have a stroke while in the trenches of super retardism? << what matters are facts; doesn't matter how often idiocy is repeated by idiots, or how exotic it gets. also, cold showers.

mircea_popescu: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2s2yp1/is_bitpay_spending_too_much_9_employees_were_laid/cnm0n9q << if anyone wants to point out to bruce fenton that http://mpex.ws/?mpsic=D.BPAY isn't selling worth a crap. and it's damned cheap too.

mircea_popescu: "I think the bigger issue is that Bitpay doesn't have a long term business model. Even assuming that Bitcoin adoption grows, transfer of Bitcoin to fiat is a programmable function. People will immediately cut out the middle man if it becomes less expensive, and its a bit of a race to the bottom as people compete in the space for the best rates, quickest conversion and most apis."

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: So, I'm a big Dave Chappelle fan. Anyhow when he got heckled and ragequitting off stage during one of his last stand up shows he came back out and said something to the audience: "You know why my show is good? Because the network officials say you're not smart enough to get what I'm doing, and every day I fight for you. I tell them how smart you are. Turns out, I was wrong. You people are stupid." This is how I

mircea_popescu: "a well, bitcoin was a great idea, unfortunately it failed. clearly ron paul can't win office"

thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: you know. we used to have a "no alcohol on sunday" policy.

asciilifeform: or is this more of a 'camel's nose' affair

BingoBoingo: Wax sealing, making a comeback http://bitcoinwaxstamp.com/?product=the-pawn

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah. It really does. It's been a fight getting credibility from people on the fence. Took a few days for people to realize the BitPay layoff article wasn't bullshit.

BingoBoingo: Retard, that's not a bullet with the name on it that's just a fucking casing.

artifexd: ;;later tell nubbins` Do you have an common casascius coins you want to sell? I sold a dozen and would like to replace them.

mircea_popescu: so their attempt to fork bitcoin escalated, because before they can in earnest get to that, they have to resolve a namefork

gribble: Error: 'cazalla__' is not a valid integer.

gribble: Error: 'davout__' is not a valid integer.

BingoBoingo: decimation: And that's why the people who made the jump to culturing forest organisms in dirt found a useful.

davout: cazalla: never. been to sydney only a couple of days, lived in melbourne for a while tho, where i witnessed the unspeakable horror of these oysters being sold already opened

cazalla: <davout> cazalla: not very surprising coming from a people that sells oysters already opened <<< ever had Sydney rock oysters?

asciilifeform: that kind of behaviour is more or less the same as asking for a, e.g., 'ld_preload attack' or the like.

mircea_popescu: not specified code, just a name

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the original complaint was more of a "we include names, do not know what code they stand for"

mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=919629.msg10118626#msg10118626 << fwiw, cooler heads seem to have caught on and are in danger of prevaling. which'll make this play out exactly as a mtgox 2.0 (i asked for tux' head on a platter in april, "community" protected him for a few months, i got head delivered february next. wonder if gavin makes it that long)_

asciilifeform: idiotically complex solution to a quite simple problem, and there is no opting out if you want compatibility with anything

asciilifeform: "oh, we included code but we had no idea what it does" sort of approach to code-is-spec specwork << this is actually a very serious boojum, beyond what most realize. i'll give example.

mircea_popescu: kinda a resplendent showcase of why one does not really want to be on the side of idiots.

decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah that's a good theory

davout: "oh that croissant from yesterday is hard? let's just soak it in that delicious milk+almonds thing and sell it under a different name" delicious nonetheless

davout: a filling. for pastries.

decimation: Vegemite (/ˈvɛdʒɨmaɪt/ VEJ-ə-myt)[2][3] is a dark brown Australian food paste made from leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives developed by Cyril P. Callister in Melbourne, Victoria, in 1922.[4] A popular spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets and cracker biscuits as well as a filling for pastries, Vegemite is similar to British, New Zealand and South African Marmite, Australian Promite,

davout: mircea_popescu: that sort of rings a bell, was that in bsas? i kind of remember you mentioning some sort of cheese too

davout: god forbid you confuse vegemite for nutella. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A BAD TIME

decimation: it's the shit at the bottom of a beer barrel after fermentation is done

davout: that's even a worse offense to humanity than vegemite and the australian accent combined

davout: cazalla: not very surprising coming from a people that sells oysters already opened

mircea_popescu: "This is one of the shittiest pieces of fear mongering I've ever read. Hard forking is and should be a natural and regular occurance and never has any hard fork ever threatened the block chain. It's called natural selection. Have a little faith in the educated masses"

mircea_popescu: "This guy owns enough BTC to crash the price to 0 on the fork if it develops. Basically imagine launching an altcoin that starts out with the current blockchain as genesis. Then imagine a huge holder acting to destroy this altcoin to protect the original Bitcoin."

mircea_popescu: then it sudden;y won't ever be a topic mentioned again by the ~500 or so fake reddit accounts working at creating "consensus" of "the community"

mircea_popescu: "Dude that runs Mpex is a crazy narcissist that happened to get rich (if he cashed out) from being an early adopter. I think the MPEX buy-in was 10k coins just for a seat at the table even after the price hit $30. He also just consented to a $50k fine from the SEC for selling unregistered securities."

mircea_popescu: "However, I also expect Bitcoin to become a) more forgetful and think that b), there could be a systems that puts the burden of validating a transaction on the sender of the transaction instead of the network. So that maybe, maybe, in the more distant future, all that needs to be kept of the decentralized blockchain are the headers, which is less than a CD-ROM full of data for 100years."

mircea_popescu: Gavin educates, make his points and tries convince community without antagonizing anyone. Popescu is probably the biggest jerk in the community, and his flock are such a dickheads that I'd be happy to see them using separate chain just so they can circlejerk and pretend they are the kings of the crypto-word in their own sandbox. Anything they write is so repugnant, that it's just impossible to argue with them. It's fun

mircea_popescu: the fake bitcoin foundation is going to make it for two years ? bwahahaha gimme a break.

mircea_popescu: "This is how the max block size will be increased, hopefully with the same 2-year delay. By the time the change actually happens, everyone will be using a client with the new rules because that's the only type of client that will have been advertised on bitcoin.org and elsewhere for 2+ years. You'd have to go massively out of your way to download a version without the new rules."

mircea_popescu: davout if proof was needed that the 'teh-code-is-teh-spec' approach is fundamentally braindamaged, well, look no further <>< clearly. not to mention the recent ecdsa openssl debacle, which is pretty much exactly a replay of the bdb stuff. "oh, we included code but we had no idea what it does" sort of approach to code-is-spec specwork

davout: sgornick: an implementation detail in some older client does not count as a protocol rule in my book, if proof was needed that the 'teh-code-is-teh-spec' approach is fundamentally braindamaged, well, look no further

davout: sgornick: it was a hard fork in the sense that not all implementations behaved the same way, not in the sense that a rule was changed

adlai: and there wasn't a well-defined set of nodes that would prefer one block over another - the pre-v0.8 side would nondeterministically reject certain valid blocks

davout: sgornick: it wasn't a hard fork in the sense that no rule was changed

davout: since you would be able to split coins, ie. even if your incoming tx isn't tainted with a post-fork coinbase you could receive funds that aren't spendable on both chains

[\\\]: adlai, I'm not using a proxy. I have no such need.

benjamindees: not as a currency

decimation: this phenomenon is demonstrated in obamacare, for instance. the 40% tax on "cadillac" health plans will start in 2018, presumably after a republican president takes office
