The bar?

to catch up on
mod6: i've been afk
too much lately. :/
mod6: road
trip kinda sounds cool actually.
shinohai: You are welcome
to load up
the Suburban and amble over here, lel.
shinohai: I have a guest
tonite of
the Georgian persuasion who made some kind of funky Stroganoff
that i'm not gonna argue with.
mod6: cheddarworst brats on
the grill
tonight with dijon mustard.
shinohai: Heh, never found solutions
there.
shinohai: I'm
thankful
the Republic accepts my contributions. Where else
the fuck would someone like me go?
shinohai: BingoBoingo: I'm honestly *incredulous* 2 years have passed so quickly.
The lulz have been as worthy as
the shares, and
that's value.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Congrats on
two years, it works when you work it. When are you picking up your coin and eating caek?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> o hey, foundation owning shares,
too ? << at first I was
thinking
that
these might need
to be realised into btc and sent
to
the addy... but i don't see any restrictions on asset ownership. as long as jurov writes in a line item in
the report at least.
shinohai: Since all
the other scammers can come up with a coin, I -
The Baron
Titsbare - should create a new algo called Proof of Jerk.
shinohai: I'm sure if she
tugs on 'em a bit
they will swing more clockwise.
shinohai: A little low and
to
the left! >.>
mod6: how
they hangin' shinohai ?
mircea_popescu: but, since
they had people who could
throw a quarter mil on
tickets, and
they're being hounded by geragos & friends for 100s of mns, it seems somewhat dubious it'll actually work.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's
the right move from a cattle herding perspective. refund
the current crop and promise
them vip seats atthe next one. gotta keep
the promise flow.
mircea_popescu: no
they're going
to bless a us beach with
the presence next
ben_vulpes: think of all
the bahamians
they'll employ
shinohai: Imagine in Medieval
times when 1 yard = distance between King's nose
to
to
thumb on outstretched arm.
ben_vulpes: "you meant yards, right? and i have
to convert cc's
to yards somehow!"
ben_vulpes to lie in
the sun with rose and rosy cheeks
mircea_popescu: "how many 10 g spoonfulls of water in a full pool 15 x 7 x 3 ?" "31500000" "now do ounces for a
ten yards by fifty feet by eighty inches pool"
ben_vulpes: "but a
ton is an absurd amalgamation of other retarded units like chains and furlongs!"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes one day ima put one of
these fucks in stocks and whip
them until
they either die or meaningfully explain what "take full responsibility" is supposed
to FUCKING EVEN BE!
ben_vulpes: hey, cut
the schmucks a break
they were raised with imperial units
mircea_popescu: "we
thought we were ready but
then it
turns out we never ever did any of
those 6th grade math problems, with
the
three faucets and
the
tub"
ben_vulpes: well no mircea_popescu also security couldn't cope!
they worried! how can you calculate
the security numbers, you dragon you?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i knew a cat
that couldn't
take people hyperventilating.
ben_vulpes: budget lolzporium continues
to delivor
mircea_popescu: and
then "The busses couldn't cope". motherfucking mental defective!
the busses COME WITH NUMBERS. $capacity. $speed. you can CALCULATE
ben_vulpes: put
three down and it'd walk out pretending haughtiness
to conceal confusion.
ben_vulpes: put down
two and it'd oscillate between
them.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes and
the idiotic, illiterate shamanism of it all. "we chartered 737 planes
to shuttle guests from miami". wtf,
that many ? oh no wait, it's not a number, IT IS A NAME.
ben_vulpes: this girl had a particularly dumb cat once upon a
time. couldn't handle boxes, but had
to sit on anything rectilinear on
the floor.
mircea_popescu: "vague interest based on having seen something on
tv once"
ben_vulpes: i can't imagine ja rule's passion for
the ocean extends past
terra yacht-a
mircea_popescu: "from
the ground up" is in
there,
too. i'm giving even odds for "sweat blood and
tears".
mircea_popescu: "starting a viral campaign". IT CAN ONLY BE VIRAL AFTERWARDS. you don't fucking START it
that way jesus christ
these morons.
mircea_popescu: "passions" for you know, "technology", "the ocean" and "music". because
that's how
this fucking works,
there's a large jar called "passions" and you pick m&m's from
there.
they're all
the fucking same.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: somehow if "it was very challenging" for "we all"
then it's no longer supposed
to be
the case
that you pissed off
the wrong guy and now sleep with
the fishes, amirite ?
ben_vulpes: beating
the "making individual problems into group problems" meme into millenials heads
mircea_popescu: the shitstain. "all of us" ? how about you don't inflate away my inconvenience in a pile of dubious matter of unclear provenance wtf bullshit is
this.
mircea_popescu: speaking of
that fyre bs : "April 29, 2017 Yesterday was a very challenging day for all of us."
mircea_popescu: but i
thought he was like you know, a big deal and all
that. cointrepreneur, rogerver, jesusomething ?
mircea_popescu: it's pretty much
the fate of all
these wanna-be nothing-in-particulars.
to quote donald clinton, "the
traditional route : years of rejection and failure until
they're spit out
the bottom of
the porn industry"
ben_vulpes: which he'd doubtless deny anyways; "no litecoin's for
the good of huge manatees!"
ben_vulpes: he was hired
to lend credence
to cb, not
to further his own ambitions.
ben_vulpes: lol hey nobody cares what
the devs want
ben_vulpes: heh it'd be funny if a)
the fiduciary rule had stuck and b) if someone had brought suit against coinbase/kraken for pushing penny stocks
☟︎ shinohai: Pretty hilarious
that Charlie Lee works
there and couldn't get his shit added until now.
shinohai: Coinbase, not having enough scams
to keep it afloat, adds Litecoin.
mircea_popescu: there's
the cutest inch-long gecko hanging about... he's fucking adorable.
mircea_popescu: fact remains :
the fiat pretend-sovereigns failed before
the republic, and
these long arid years of humiliation of
their agents in our hands push
them
towards
the only
thing
they know : collective security.
mircea_popescu: trinque you know
the other soviets aren't so far off. how is coinbase-ly "holding" bitcoin any better ?
trinque: that'll be
the fountain of lol
ben_vulpes: forgive me for being
thick, but what's
the connection between outlawing math and
the homeopathic spoiled mango soup?
mircea_popescu: local chapter of party proceeded
to display
them in
the local chantry/temple,
then made
them into a 10
ton soup everyone got a spoon
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes at some point someone gave $chinese ruler half dozen fruit. he didn't want
them, donated
them
to local chapter of party.
mircea_popescu: soooo...
the unconfirmed rumour is
that
the chinese govt is drawing up plans
to make bitcoin a strategic commodity, making it illegal for private citizens
to hold it / buy
their holdings at
the "prevailing market rates" (ie, 1kish_
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 18:27 shinohai just npw realized he has almost been contributing
to Qntra for one year now ....
ben_vulpes: these days it lives in a warehouse in beaverton so
they can reasonably hold
the price
two
to
three dollars under
the new price for
the same
thing
ben_vulpes: once upon a
time
they'd happily sell shit for a dollar
that
they got for
twenty cents
phf: yeah, if you're ever in portland, stop by powell's,
top floor. it's
their "rare books" section
phf: i saw a cool edition of blake's works in powell's in portland. it was a folio reproduction of his designs, with complete Marriage, etc. unfortunately it was something like $400, and i just couldn't justify buying it

the premises owned by
