pankkake: > I work in the adult comic industry and we sometimes publish furry comics (anthropomorphic people) and we frequently get taking down by banks and payment processors for distributing "bestiality."
mircea_popescu: i suppose the word he's looking for is "terrorism"
mircea_popescu: "Dear lord this is absolutely fucking grade-A insane. I had to read that first paragraph 4 times just because I just couldn't believe somebody would ever intentionally write something so convoluted. And it doesn't improve as the paper continues. In all seriousness, this reads almost exactly like the deranged manifestos that are left behind by school shooters, that is the vibe I get from whatever the fuck you want to ca

ThickAsThieves: mircea_popescu:BingoBoingo i saw some on tat's link too /// ah, it seems my post was simply moved from /r/bitcoin, a mod even posted he was mad at all the non-bitcoin-related posts yesterdya

danielpbarron: and I don't promote it in-game
danielpbarron: i've got the counterparty thing; i think that is far enough removed from the act of buying/selling meat
danielpbarron: then I started trying to buy/sell meat for BTC in the game's official chat; got a message from Multi Czar telling me i'd get my account disabled if i continued..
danielpbarron: i sent Jick a message for him to answer on his podcast, telling him he should accept BTC for Mr. A's; he shot it down and mostly focused on the "tone" i used

nubbins`: i uh
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Ah, I see the time set declined in value as well due to competitive alternatives existing nao
asciilifeform: benkay: i considered peristaltic. turns out, others have tried - they end up 'burping'
benkay: <nubbins`> i struggle to understand living a life so bereft of meaning that blowing your wad on a $50k one-off party is the culmination of your aspirations // that's why they demand consummation immediately afterwards, to keep the void filled
danielpbarron: right, what i mean is, you can exceed that bonus with other gear, but we're talking about a difference of a few adventures per day
danielpbarron: you can get more efficient by ditching the hat and pants for other stuff, but the sword is the best hand held item for that purpose (i think)
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Well, meat or BTC. I'd rather keep the trio together. TIme limited content and all that.
danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, you might be better off selling it in the mall; I'm not really interested in buying stuff for BTC, if that's what you meant
asciilifeform: only thing on the gift registry that i felt comfortable buying << lol, i suggested it as the actual instrument of sepukku

dub: funnily some time in teh 90's as I recall they started not taking it out and advertising as iodized
mircea_popescu: <dub> idk, I recall a theory that abnormally high iodine levels in the japanese contributes to their well above average longevity << fukushima makes sense nao.
mircea_popescu: <dub> not that I would want to go back << omg #bitcoin-extradition
cazalla: i won't pretend to know much about it other than what i said, law states they must add it to bread here, marketed to help the fetus yet women aren't falling pregnant, sounds more like a marketing pitch - here's a donut with folate, any excuse to buy it
dub: idk, I recall a theory that abnormally high iodine levels in the japanese contributes to their well above average longevity
BingoBoingo: For the cost of keeping a phone alive on the network I dunno of anything cheaper than Tracfone in the US

dub: not that I would want to go back
asciilifeform: dub: every carrier i know of save the ones described above deduct $positive_integer per $time_period
BingoBoingo: Last SMS spam I got was 3 phone numbers ago
dub: now that I think about it, I once bought an LTE modem with sim and $50 credit for $50
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm starting to get curious. Do you really get that many SMS spammers?
dub: was wondering wtf you are on about until I noticed you said you pay to recieve traffic (wtf?)
asciilifeform: i have one such. and now i know how the vendor scams
Rassah: I think "our monkey brains" are largely influenced by societal norms, and bitcoin will "hack" some of those norms just as other technologies and science discoveries have...
shesek: I actually have no idea what this channel is for - I saw it mentioned on Reddit and joined in
dub: it would be a problem if I used the automation bits but its not annoying enough to start pulling it apart
asciilifeform: decimation: i use only Sn/Bi alloy, 138C. as described on mircea_popescu's site.
decimation: yeah, plus when it runs out it will spatter I suspect
asciilifeform: decimation: i own almost exactly that one
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i saw some on tat's link too
mircea_popescu: "If this ASIC mambo jumbo goes forward then I think BTC is as "good" as PayPal or the Bank of England." (forum communitard, 2012).
decimation: I guess if you do a batch at a time you use it up
mircea_popescu: btw, since i've been reading my old romanian bitcoin articles, landed on some gems. anyone remembers vladimir's asic ?
decimation: I wouldn't mind building something like this one day: http://www.vtwilson.net/telescope.html (complete with russian military satellite observatory)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lithium pharma << as i recall, the therapeutic envelope is so narrow as to be practically absent - e.g. slow poison
asciilifeform: damn what'd i miss.
assbot: Here's Why I Love Bitcoin! [Very NSFW Version] ;) : Bitcoin

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've had classmates with "farm money" talk their parents into covering their Film School, Mary Jane prescription, and subsequent X-mas DUI's. Weirder things happen in fiat land.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: yeah, i've got a copy somewhere
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well I figured I'd throw a quote out there just in case some "band" has parents with more coin than sense
nubbins`: maybe i'll just stick to printing
nubbins`: BingoBoingo i don't think many bands here would be into a 2k minimum ;(
BingoBoingo: Nubbins 2k cd minimum order I could set up cd production with artisinal hand labeling ~ 8.7 BTC and handle the remaining on a print on demand basis. 6 week turn around for the first batch.
nubbins`: i'd say at this point, more stuff is being released on cassette here than cd
nubbins`: which means 3k cds duplicated before i can stop worrying about breaking the thing
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo stop opposing research and job creating funding in research and SCIENCE and global warming. << I'm fighting marketing. Just because pharma doesn't want to compete with Tesla's 1337 battery factory doesn't mean that there are better uses for those salts than motor carriages and iBortions.
midnightmagic: i didn't know until afterwards that the water was contaminated. they sell it as a health spa.
