BlueMeanie4: i may make a contract system that doesnt use irc
BlueMeanie4: do i win an internet
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BlueMeanie4 well we all use automation so it's not that fresh in head :) << I do it by hand
BingoBoingo: BlueMeanie4: I have degrees in Philosphy and preventing rot in bound volumes
BlueMeanie4: THATS HWAT I DID BEFORE
BlueMeanie4: i have a degree in CS
BlueMeanie4: its the second time i did this
BlueMeanie4: i did that laready!
BlueMeanie4: how do i gribble
mircea_popescu: so as i was saying earlier : ident with gribble, let's walk you through this self upping thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought russians had martini as the vermouth, like romanians.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4: also Mircea - you dont like Preston Bryne? << if i can be arsed to try and teach someone to read it can scarcely be argued i don't like them.
nubbins`: scopolamine is popular in some touristy areas of south america as well, or so i'm told
asciilifeform: 'I don’t want to fucking test my drink when I’m at the bar. That’s not the world I want to live in.'
dsherm: M_P yeah i know but at least the rate of increase will... decrease
mircea_popescu: at first i thought this must be a scammer play.
dsherm: M_P i was talking about the article from contravex
thestringpuller: i just got a mac book air
nubbins`: i just ruined a mac battery
ben_vulpes: ah, i missed the marmot.
thestringpuller: i was overthinking it sorry for being dumb
thestringpuller: yea. that's what I've been looking into, do you think it's legit though?
mircea_popescu: ahh people's assumptions are such a great boon to internet humor. so i go on this blog and butthurt people, everyone assumes that since i speak the language i also live there, it's rioutous.
mircea_popescu: yes i am asking around :D
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i doubt that google corp. has the only copy of 'dejanews' - ask around.
BitMarmot: I really do f***ing love marmots
antonosika: mircea_popescu: I'll keep my fingers crossed then.
ThickAsThieves: <+BingoBoingo> BitMarmot> Website's been clocking 1,000 hits a day for the last three days - I should write about marmots more often << Not a bad idea //// Before you know it your website will be all "10 Wacky Interesting Things You Never Knew About Marmots"
mircea_popescu: (for that matter, it's good policy / common courtest to see if i don't want to overbid in case you're considering assignment)
mircea_popescu: antonosika anyway, the last clause is there specifically to allow you to limit your risk as you can make me a settlement offer later on and who knows, i might take it.
antonosika: mircea_popescu: I'll be happy with the outcome of this contract either way, nice to learn new things with you crazy fucks around here.
BitMarmot: Be of no doubt, I am overawed by your approach to polemic. But I suspect I probably wouldn't get away with it
mircea_popescu: i didn't even pick the right phrase. should have used rickles' "he's making a loss on every sale but hopes to make it up on volume"
mircea_popescu: i went to the hemingway school of law.
mircea_popescu: antonosika it's not dodgy, it's just how i write.
antonosika: Thanks bingo, i just wanted this legal language verified by someone else to seem less dogy
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 well that's why i gave you that rota reference. nobody o.O after the attempt at a public court thing failed miserably.
BlueMeanie4: thats what i was saying- who adjudicates?
mircea_popescu: yes. i keep files.
mircea_popescu: that's funny, i remember the days "anonymous" used to be an insult.
BlueMeanie4: the thing i always look for- they always have an alternative career
BlueMeanie4: ya I really appreciated that article, but when you watch someone pull this sort of stuff time and time again- it's hard not to get personal
BitMarmot: brb. Just having fun, I enjoy writing.
BitMarmot: BlueMeanie4 I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt on character, but go ruthless on the facts
antonosika: Im about to agree to a contract that stands if I deposit 3 btc to mircea_popescu (with the blockchain as security). Can someone tell me that this is a smart procedure?
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot if politeness has degraded to the point you gotta call someone talented just to remain polite i dun want any part of it.
BitMarmot: I go on what I can prove. If I can't prove it, I figure no harm in being polite
BitMarmot: I thought you might like that.
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot that's fine, but you know if you call someone something, whether it's "talented" or "whore" or anything, i may well ask you well, how did you find this and how could i verify for myself.
BitMarmot: I just don't like going after people personally - I'd rather discuss the issues
BlueMeanie4: that was basically my thought when I bothered to read his nonsense writings
BlueMeanie4: BitMarmot- of course he doesnt want to program it- i makes ZERO sense!
BitMarmot: Let me put it this way - I wanted to play the ball rather than the programmer
BlueMeanie4: i was reading larimers babbling on btt - his ideas are idiotic
mircea_popescu: and i'd know this how ?
BlueMeanie4: i beg to differe
mircea_popescu: ok, "I look at BitSharesX and I see a group of talented" << what do you mean by talented then.
mircea_popescu: i mean other than tardstalk finance.
BitMarmot: i.e. it's not really an improvement
BitMarmot: I'll join WoT this weekend
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot "I don’t like or approve of token pre-sales and I never will." << whatr's this mean ?
BitMarmot: I actually really like marmots
BingoBoingo: BitMarmot> Website's been clocking 1,000 hits a day for the last three days - I should write about marmots more often << Not a bad idea
BlueMeanie4: although I cant confirm that the current concept bears any resemblance to those early ideas
mircea_popescu: i already did dood. in between that pastebin and a blockchain read you have incontrovertible proof.
BlueMeanie4: I even recall the early bitshares stuff on btt, it was pure idiocy
BitMarmot: BlueMeanie4 thanks! I saw.
BlueMeanie4: BitMarmot- I tweeted you :)
gribble: Error: I am not seeing this user on IRC. If you want information about a registered gpg user, try the 'gpg info' command instead.
BitMarmot: Website's been clocking 1,000 hits a day for the last three days - I should write about marmots more often
BlueMeanie4: I just know the people involved and I didnt even bother running the numbers, I already know the answer
mircea_popescu: it's a fucking outrage is what it is. basically vitalik saw the neobee fuckwit buy a ferrari or whatever it was, went out of his mind and well... "if x can steal why shouldn't i"
BitMarmot: Thanks BlueMeanie4 - I do this for a living so looked at BitShares for 20 minutes and was like, "does not compute"
BlueMeanie4: and i really appreciate your points in that article BitMarmot
BlueMeanie4: I think the SEC is aware of what Vitalik and Bitshares are doing, but theyre biding their time
BitMarmot: But apparently I am not beyond saving
BitMarmot: I mean, I don't exactly look forward to the day seeing as I'm meant to be hanged
mircea_popescu: but yes, i will definitely push for prosecution of the current set of sec comissioners for having failed to take the hand i extended to them last year.
mircea_popescu: "wait a tick, wait a tick... i will not ruin this sketch for a pound"
antonosika: mircea_popescu: Is there a way for me to show that I paid?
BitMarmot: Of everything I've written I figured MP probably approved of my most recent work the most
BitMarmot: agreed, but I figured the marmot peg was the best way to illustrate the sheer stupidity of what was going on with BTSX
fluffypony: and I'll sort it out
BitMarmot: I am also a USG_Press_Machine from time to time
antonosika: How do I sign the contract?
antonosika: But at least I can do business with you.
antonosika: If I read logs or articles I don't know what things have any "value" and what are just writings.
antonosika: Well you said that it would be better if I had no money or voice since I will never do anything good. It feels like that gives a rather strict definition of good.
antonosika: I would not donate to charity. But anyhow, if you deem some things as ill (such as charity) some people do things that are not ill (like you for example?) what would such deeds be?
rybro: all i can think of is susan korman and that pink ribbon breast cancer thing
mircea_popescu: http://pastebin.com/fb3v4nFL << kakobrekla i see yours and i raise you wtf is this shit.
antonosika: I'm really interested, what is your philosophy on life?
mircea_popescu: "nice" people are rarely worth the price of a decent burial, clothes included, and i very much doubt they ever should be.
antonosika: Smart people have good values, so If you have a good suggestion of what to donate my btc to I would regard you as smarter
antonosika: I deposit 3 btc to you. Isn't it fair that we decide something nice that happens with it if there is a large delay of ETH currency?
antonosika: Ehum I want to make deals with nice people.
rybro: yeah i knew it :P
mircea_popescu: i donate to whatever the hell i feel like with or without that contract lol
