BingoBoingo: So, last friday
I'm at the bar and my friends point out a dude with a Bitcoin T-shirt. Suggest
I start a conversation.
I point out that in the best case they are a stranger, and in the worst case they are some petty scammer
I blogged about.
TheNewDeal: well
I didn't say empty. You said reject tx's
Rassah:
I don't keep NMC as mone, stre of value, or a transaction mechanism.
I keep it as "a cost to register and renew a domain name"
Rassah: BingoBoingo:
I'm interested too. How so?
decimation: the label "money" isn't relevant - jet fuel is eminently salable, whereas the salability of ethereum is extremely dubious - and that's the property
I was interested in specifying with the word "money"
Rassah:
I'm starting to suspect the things they talk about in private do not match the spin they put out in public...
Rassah: BingoBoingo: Protests? When
I alked to them, they wanted to sell equity in it, but couldn't due to regulatory crap
BingoBoingo:
I dunno much other than the picked the worst name for their tokens...
Rassah:
I thought he was? Etherium is run by a large group of people, including finance guys
Rassah: p.s.
I'm not saying their etherium deal is a good one.
I don't think investing in ether can in any way give a better return than investing in bitcoin...
I don't think vitalik is much of a finance guy, either, so
I'm not sure if this "ipo" ca be blamed on him
TheNewDeal: he sent me .1 btc,
I sold him a position in the bastille day bet
Rassah: There aren't a lot of smart people in bitcoinland...
I have a feeling Bitcoin Pete isn't one either, but is regurgitating things other smart people are saying in his blogs. A beneficial service
I guess
Rassah: My tribe consists of Tsiolkovsky and Tozoni, so
I've been surrounded by extremely intimidating levels of inteligence...
Rassah:
I wonder if Bitcoin Pete has met an inteligent person in his life
decimation:
I've tried beautiful soup, it sucked ass.
I tried splinter, it sucked ass. refuse to touch phantomjs.
BingoBoingo: Chicken is old hand but carp is a new one for me.
I might have suspected catfish as a stereotype, because like fried chicken everyone loves fried catfish. Carp though have so many pin bones in their filets. Honestly
I find Gar a better use of my fishing time than carp.
BingoBoingo: Wait, carp are black people food now?
I thought it was Wasps that first plagued this continent with them.
decimation: indeed,
I always called it jimson weed. nasty stuff, grows up 6 ft tall in a few months
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well
I was ~6th grade at the time and age ranged up to High School degenerates in the group
pigeons: yeah
i remember the scout leaders telling us emphatically not to smoke the local funky weed
BingoBoingo: Well,
I've been to field's where ultralights operated
BingoBoingo:
I was going to ask, but figured if
I had to...
BingoBoingo: CheapBoy:
I'll look for you and keep throwing voice at you
CheapBoy: But
I have to get some sleep, 3am in sweden.
CheapBoy: Alrighty
I'm getting the GPG running.
BingoBoingo: CheapBoy: If you set up GPG and register in the WoT
I'll lend you a rating so you can self voice.
pigeons: probably they won't email you the wallet for another few bfl-months, but
i hae no actual clue about that
pigeons: so
i suppose you could sell the wallet
pigeons: CheapBoy:
i asked that too, was told "no". but try #etherum. actually,
i heard they were emailing (!) encrypted wallets (perhaps generated with not-so-random keys via mouse movements!)
BingoBoingo: CheapBoy: Well
I doubt the ethereum people are going to make or allow a market for that since, etherium is supposed to be a market
CheapBoy:
I'm trying to understand if people will be able to "sell" their ethereum pledge before it is released atm.
gribble:
I have not seen nycbtcpros.
BingoBoingo: pigeons: Wait, you're inhaling it?
I was just going to use it as a solvent to clean some stuff...
BingoBoingo:
I just dunno why anyone would want ether that can't soak a rag
midnightmagic: but ehh.. propaganda piece for tourism.
i'm okay with that
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: so far the authentic chinese food
I've tasted pretty much lives up to its visual appeal; Yunnan province (where a lot of that episode was filmed) is delicious and very un-weird.
pigeons: who are these people buying it?
i see everyone ssaying the obvious about who knows what a good price is and if the platform will ever materialize, but someone is paying
CheapBoy: hehe, coming here
I'm getting more scared.
benkay: <mircea_popescu>
i have nfi why anyone'd do business with people who announce xmas and then fail to deliver in march, but then again... // what, you calling asciilifeform a scammer?
mircea_popescu:
i have nfi why anyone'd do business with people who announce xmas and then fail to deliver in march, but then again...
CheapBoy:
I am hesitating, it says "scheduled for release winter 2014/2015" on the site. Pretty big risk it's delayed imo.
mircea_popescu: jesus
i was waiting to answer "it is" to two diff people in one line forever.
dub:
I'm not, its a great quote
BigBitz: mircea_popescu one day... just one day...
I hope to be 5% as rich as you.
mircea_popescu: jesus
i was looking to say bigtitsbingo for a long time.
mircea_popescu: CheapBoy
i have no problem with your assigning your delivery, but to do that you will need to register a gpg signature in the wot.
CheapBoy: That guarantee should be tradable before it is released
I hope...
CheapBoy:
I am interested in betting against you.
benkay: no
i tuned out a long time ago
benkay: <dub> she just finalised our venue, twas all
I could do to drag it back to 300km away from 10000km // sucker -
i had mine in the backyard of the house in which
i grew up.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
i suspect the reasoning here is that "bfl is bad for bitcoin" and so therefore selling to them is "bad for bitcoin" and so it's a smart move.
mircea_popescu: #freenode is terminally fucking braindamaged. a year ago they stopped taking donations because "it was too much effort". since then
i've been trying to get them a server up. pretty much zero interest.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
i got a lulz out of their scummy apology/explanation as to how they sold the domain to bfl.
mircea_popescu:
i thot they still teach in those social pseudosciences just how informative one's apparent assumptions are.
i guess nobody does psychology seriously since the pills huh.
mircea_popescu:
i mean check out that beauty. "what, mp can eject each and every reddit communitard if he so chooses ?!?! not possibru!!!
mircea_popescu: As far as my observations go,
I think there are many idealists, but they are a bit complicit in that these fuckers aren't shouted down or ejected because they are "of the community"."
mircea_popescu: anyway,
i guess my knowing who they are and who they fucked and all the dirt makes this an unequal contest and therefore me racist or somesuch.
mircea_popescu:
i guess it works fine for most blogs, which really aren't much deeper than that, and definitely for most perianne borings, which... yeah.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the person
i'm repackaging is christos ballas, which kind-of informs as to the depth of intelligence the core of us libertards has at its disposal : they can dig as deep as about the past coupla months, and that's that.
assbot: Im crying with joy over here, my toes are curling in untold glee,
I have little doubt that
I shall live to see this, all of it. : Buttcoin
mircea_popescu:
i am thankful for the internet for this, by the way. before every idiot had a voice, the world was less amusing, and the reasons why the poor must be whipped daily less obvious.
mircea_popescu: my sides.
i imagine libertards are smart in entirely novel, innovative ways, right ? because such a thing can ever be :D
mircea_popescu: lol r/SA has now established that
i am not smart, all my good points are repackaged from someone else.
dub: she just finalised our venue, twas all
I could do to drag it back to 300km away from 10000km
pigeons: yeah like
i shouldnt already know better than to click one of mircea_popescu's links
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic a bit more marketing in that than
i'd be looking for.
mircea_popescu: benkay:
i don't. it's a phenomenal waste of human capital. << there is no such thing as "waste" of human capital any more han there's waste of carbon. it's an element, whatever it gets used for is just fine.
mircea_popescu:
i guess in a sense this is just the unavoidable effect of their irrelevant impotence. "if you can't do something useful anyway, might as well make a buck doing something pointless"
mircea_popescu: benkay:
I WAS JUST SAYING THIS << basically doge opened the way for "mainstream" media shilling.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: before divorcing,
i do not know. << why divorce the woman just because she's getting exercise ?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
i was originally thinking bitcoin-the-prototype needs to run about five years before actual iteration is worth contemplating
mircea_popescu: they are going to be A LOT more scared,
i'm getting a "get in touch" program out for politicians.
mircea_popescu: lobbes: the problem
I have with weird al nowadays is that
I don't even know the songs he is parodying anymore << this is because you've stopped fucking teenagers.
mike_c: too late,
i changed all my links. it's dead to me :)
ThickAsThieves: this is the first timei'm upvoting things
i disagree with
gribble: the20year was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 week, 2 days, 3 hours, 14 minutes, and 55 seconds ago: <the20year> nubbins`:
i sent you my address
ThickAsThieves:
I sincerely apologize. My comment was directed at the user who said that no one would want or need this.
I cant get into specifics on what we are working on but here are a few questions that spring into mind.
ThickAsThieves: "
I think smart contracts are pretty revolutionary, and once they're commonplace we'll all wonder how we got along without them." this is people responding to me asking wtf will actually use it
