xinxiwang: maybe singapore is
a good place for bitcoin business.

BingoBoingo: I someone who can graph wants to do
a longer piece on difficulty drops in Bitcoin's history...
decimation: why would usg care if you were the intended recipient or
a random victim?
mircea_popescu: "Yes, I2P or Tor would work for such
a website. Freenet is probably more secure because there are no entry/exit nodes to monitor, but Freesites can only serve static content, and anonymous Bitcoin payments don't have
a way to include
a message with them."
mircea_popescu: there's no way to build
a case out of that if rigurously observed outside of fed-fiat.
mircea_popescu: yeah, some base of prepared articles for sopme stuff is not
a bad idea.
assbot: Logged on 26-07-2014 19:37:58; asciilifeform: now, if you're willing to live like
a feral dog, it isn't even necessary to leave the country. i recall,
a few years ago, an article about one fellow who lived in
a dugout in
a u.s. national park. for ~30 years. he was caught by pure chance.
BingoBoingo: Simply no need or cause for having
a full featured USD bank account
BingoBoingo could have
a Coinbase USD wallet if I could ACH...
cazalla: BingoBoingo, i bet this new one breaks within
a year or two too
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Effect will probably be to make BTC to USD transactions
a bigger pain in the ass on their platform the next runup << yup.
cazalla: <mike_c> this is what you get for complaining around here. work! <<< there are plenty of bids for s.qntra shares on MPEx. BingoBoingo and I can't cover every single story, I have no intention to sell my own shares so anyone with the inclination to earn
a bit of btc can cover what we miss and sell their shares if so desired
BingoBoingo: Effect will probably be to make BTC to USD transactions
a bigger pain in the ass on their platform the next runup
BingoBoingo: I think they tend to still sell themselves as
a broker
BingoBoingo: Point. I'll write it in
a few if no one wants to give it
a treatment.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> qntra is not #b-
a news, it is 'better than coindesk' news. i doubt they use otc. << this is
a point, but srsly, write it.
cazalla: mike_c, it's also
a question of priority, there is little to be gained by giving the coinbse news top priority when it is top of reddit and other bitcoin news sites
BingoBoingo: ALright I've set my timer. If someone else volunteers to do
a COinbase has
a USD wallet too nao, I won't give it
a one sentence writeup.
decimation: eh, if they sell and deliver, that makes them
a worth market participant right?
BingoBoingo: decimation: I actually can see
a case for people to buy BTC off of CoinBase and pocket them elsewhere, provided they are willing to lose USD to the machine's quirks
mike_c: qntra is not #b-
a news, it is 'better than coindesk' news. i doubt they use otc.
BingoBoingo: I'm coming around to this maybe being newsworthy, but as someone without
a bank account I think another USian could do
a fairer take.
cazalla: mike_c, buying and holding 2 different things, i use similar sites but it's
a one way street
cazalla: and i don't want to be seen to promote the idea that holding usd on coinbase is
a good idea either
BingoBoingo: Coinbase was always an exchange... just
a slow one.
BingoBoingo: The Aussie stuff though did come as
a huge dump.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Coinbase is not news. They exist. Their changing shit slightly totally not news. If qntra was
a thing when they introduced their wallet less node thing, news. USD paypal wallet thing not news.
mike_c: no room on qntra amongst the daily australian bitcoin news for
a piece on coinbase becoming an exchange now? such xenophobia.
decimation: Nick Land seems to be taking quite
a liking to bitcoin-assets thought
decimation: who knows if this guy is legit, but if what he is wrote is true, USG apparently views
a group of actual people acting of their own free will to be
a much greater threat than rampaging rivers of meat
decimation: "Early this afternoon, I confirmed (through
a private source) what I have suspected since last August. Namely that the daily telephone interaction between MO Governor Nixon and the White House has involved Ms. Valerie Jarrett not the POTUS."
decimation: yeah I buy that. more like "Feminist studies" than bitching about some nerd wearing
a shirt with scantily clad women
decimation: mircea_popescu: re:
http://www.xenosystems.net/chaos-patch-38/ <<
a comment at the bottom: "Frog Do Says: IMO, “Moldbug studies” remain one of the more fertile areas of research for the American Outer Right. More interesting info in that “Trilema” piece than anything on Ferguson."
decimation: and by horsepower I mean "ability to perform arithmetic and convey the results in
a timely fashion"
adlai: guessing here: you don't need
a subpoena to browse the internet during an investigation, but you do need it to take that same internet page to court as evidence?
BingoBoingo: Maybe this is the first formal subpoena, but... The shit that happens on the forum and his only reporting
a DPR subpoena nao???
mircea_popescu: Compensation can be in the form of equity or
a salary, or somewhere in-between."
mircea_popescu: itecture is
a must. Experience in
a start-up environment is
a plus, or just being super hard working, self-motivated, and creative.
mircea_popescu: "Hello, sorry if there is another thread for this kind of post, but I couldn't find one. I'm looking for the best and brightest IT pro in the bitcoin community to be the lead developer in
a venture backed bitcoin startup company. The ideal candidate would have at least several years of web application development experience, having built applications from the ground up.
A solid understanding of oop and software arch
BingoBoingo: At times it has been
a little confusing and difficult to keep the two separate. “On rounds the next morning I’ll ask my residents what the patient’s Is & Os were. They will tell me the nurse didn’t chart them appropriately. So I’ll wander over to the charge nurse and say who was taking care of Ms. Johnson last night –and of course it was me…”
BingoBoingo: “Excuse me…” at that moment when the new nurse looked up from changing
a bed pan, “Doctor Fritz!” Shannon yelled in amazement. “No it’s Nurse Charlie tonight,” he responded before she could question any further.
undata: “Many [doctors] are dropping out of the profession because it’s overregulated. Now, what may happen to the bitcoin community is that, if there’s so much regulation, there’ll be
a lot of people who say, 'You know what, I’m done with this. I’m not gonna do it,' and it’s going to crush the industry.”
BingoBoingo: My nostrils can testify that this as of this fall turds were still
a more popular fertilizer in my area for corn and soybeans than anything other.
adlai: what grows from turdilizer is not
a turd, though
mircea_popescu: well, actually, it currently has enough for
a few lunches,
mircea_popescu: "tl;dr: The Bitcoin Foundation exists so
a few people can pay themselves generous salaries and play important. Also, they seem to depend on the Bitcoin price rising seeing they lose money on revenue vs. expenses."
mircea_popescu: so now since the b-
a notary system is down, i can't check on wtf taxes mpoe has to pay
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Either one. Given the CIA's history of applying diverse hires I would expect thestringpuller to be assigned to somewhere lilly white or otherwise homogenous. Probably in
a deep cover role
mircea_popescu: how about the cia's strength and effectiveness as
a potato ?
thestringpuller: "The CIA's strength and effectiveness as an agency depends upon its ability to employ
a workforce as diverse as the nation it serves."
punkman: "We never thought
a video would be watched in numbers greater than
a 32-bit integer (=2,147,483,647 views), but that was before we met PSY. "Gangnam Style" has been viewed so many times we have to upgrade!"
adlai: after reading
a bit more about the scamosphere, in my mind, "usg" now gets pronounced "usagi"
mircea_popescu: it's not like there;s an actual dichotomy. you can have
a ramdisk or
a diskram for all it cares.
mircea_popescu: so yeah, you're stuck in
a paraeconomic crevice over there.
cazalla: jurov: what's with the submissions to qntra containing lengthy documents verbatim? <<< anything contained in
a <blockquote> as those length documents are, do not count towards word count
mircea_popescu: but, sure, every broom shoots once. if
a broom shot you once, you have my deepest simpathies.
mircea_popescu: not that i'm against oxen or anything. but seriously, trying to sell me on braindamaged chickens with three beaks as
a sort of unavoidable oxen ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, i know what you're saying, but i think it's much rarer than you make it look,
a problem that doesn't take well to chickens.
mats_cd03: but
a smart phone makes me smart. :(
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> people didn't use to upgrade worth
a shit not even
a decade ago, when all the incentives were alligned for them to. << What happened was Microsoft's "Let's mimic the Auto Industries idea of the Model Year" won even if MS could not execute on it
mircea_popescu: but that ended
a few years back, and "upgrade" is headed right into the "please install our browser toolbar extension" and "act now!" bin.
mircea_popescu: people didn't use to upgrade worth
a shit not even
a decade ago, when all the incentives were alligned for them to.
mircea_popescu: this idea that "we'll gavin all over the blockchain technology and everyone will follow" is out of
a holywood movie. not how reality works.
mircea_popescu: half
a cent
a pill, indian factories dedicated to its preservation in amber.
mircea_popescu: i mean it's
a fine theory an' all, but i don't see it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am at this very moment running
a 64 GB amd-a8 quad.
mircea_popescu: if he doesn't do worse than you, that's
a prime signal that you're insane.
mircea_popescu: seems 1905 steel girder bridges still work just fine, and yes you can do anything you want done on 486s. heck, it's always been cheaper to buy last year's tech and buy
a lot of it and network it than it is to buy the monolithic "custom made" tool.
mircea_popescu: if the problem exists it's
a prime indicator you're wasting your life.
mircea_popescu: so... if what you do is
a good idea, this sort of problem can't possibly exists.
nubbins`: try modelling HIV spread on
a 486
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as i said afore, " you'd have to be insane to use rented hardware oyu manage yourself. either colo your own metal or else have the fucking dc handle it if you don't give
a shit"
