mircea_popescu: Mikayla as per
a, link to your previous work, then i'll give you
a string you can take your pic.
mircea_popescu: wywialm you gotta appreciate business people keep chicks around
a special room for the sole purpose of sending out mail and keeping track of mail and taking the cock. and they are paid
a salary, and that's then taxed.
mircea_popescu: what's
a wire these days, like 50 plus whatever admin costs on one's side ?
TheNewDeal: Definitely not doing
a fiat delivery at that price
los_pantalones: can you explain
a little more why you want to do this way ?
TheNewDeal: Can you explain that in
a different way please
los_pantalones: first glance, too small for my interests but i'll look at the terms
a bit more
wywialm: ok, then. for start i would buy put option, delivering 100$ unescrowed, as
a sort of unit test, at 0.25 btc per 100$ strike, i offer 0.03 btc, matures in 21 days. is it ok, los_pantalones or TheNewDeal?
TheNewDeal: Cash only preferred, but may bend if its
a well structured deal
Mikayla: Was told by
a friend to come here?
los_pantalones: they have
a 12/31 expiry option, would fit your time frame pretty well
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform diff the two wouldja ? maybe there's
a qntra story in here
mircea_popescu: if only there was some sort of spot that wasn't
a total fucking joke.
mircea_popescu: wywialm yeah but wanting someone to make
a custom thing for you rather than just using something already in place takes you from
a few btcs to
a few thousand btcs volume you know.
wywialm: paymium is
a layer on top of it
mircea_popescu: wywialm but if you're taking that foreign asset delivery, you will need
a method. bag of cash ? or what's your idea of simple ?
mike_c: his put on this denominated in that delivered by bananas twisted my brain for
a second.
mircea_popescu: bounce google came up with the fucktarded idea of basically replacing their algorithm with
a by-hand list (yeah, just at the top, which is like saying "just where it matters"). as
a result, all sorts of shitholes like facebook, wikipedia etc are basically google spam repositories.
mircea_popescu: i can understand caching an answer. but caching
a nonanswer ? who the fuck is the bright excel spreadsheet that came up with that idea.
mircea_popescu: then he turns them down and takes
a job for stan's nsa.
bounce: pretending to be starring, of course. couldn't be
a hipster if it was for real.
mircea_popescu: jurov is he sjw also ? or just
a lot of aloof ennui on political topics ?
ben_vulpes: "these kids have no idea what it meant to be gay even
a decade ago!"
mircea_popescu: not really
a fag all the way tho. maybe just the gaytip ?
jurov: yes i'd make him
a fag
jurov: yest id' make him
a fag
jurov: and how we come to that topic? my client dropped
a line somhow?
mircea_popescu: allegedly womenz left the door unlocked because fancied
a fuck. so then he;'d also rob the place.
mircea_popescu: true story : early 1900s romanian outlaw and rapist, hung like
a horse, after execution penis kept by museum of natural history.
mircea_popescu: god's scale, because it allows you to integrate everyday important stuff like the atomcount on
a planet.
bounce: gives
a good range and is still fine grained for the ones more often in use. not nonsense to me.
bounce: s/single single/single/ just
a single single please
mircea_popescu: jurov thing is, since all of eu is basically supplied by
a british and
a french operator, france is good enough, just buy orange there.
bounce: 100 isn't
a power of two
ziggamon: bounce: not yet, slow launching now, here, on my personal FB/twitter and such. but I’ve gotten
a few orders from around the world already and everything seems to be working. will be doing more promotion during the weekend
ziggamon: mircea_popescu: You are right about the fees. Use cases are sometimes people want to do it online and now they can. Fees are lower than equivalent services that take credit card. Also there is
a remittance use case for bitcoiners.
mircea_popescu: ziggamon: its different for different countries. but markup is generally 10-20%. << what i don't get is, most countries have local shops that even give discount. why would someone pay
a premium ? what's the usecase like ?
bounce: that was entirely true to form: they announced they'd do it. everybody assumed it'd be bodged all to hell and back again. they released it. someone figured out
a virus for it. [x] bodging confirmed.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> "we are looking to hire
a young cowhand, you will also be our napoleon" << haha
bounce has so far successfully avoided more understanding than to look away in
a hurry as soon as anything like it comes into view, so can't help you there. so not sorry.
mircea_popescu: jurov does it have cell-aware goto ? so could you write
a basic program in
a 2d array that's the excel spreadshit ?
mircea_popescu: lol "visual basic for applications". "c for seafaring vessels. java for flowing liquids. ruby for rings". what the fuck is
a language for, applications, right ? what the fuck else, gramas ?
bounce: it's got
a name. "visual basic for applications". great for macro viruses and such. one stop shop for all your office document infection needs.
mircea_popescu: microsoft just heard there's this thing "emacs" that has these things "macros" so they put
a brick in their thing with MCRAO written on it.
undata: mircea_popescu: at
a previous gig in
a consulting shop, we encountered
a (subsequently rejected) potential client which did exactly this
mircea_popescu: "we are looking to hire
a young cowhand, you will also be our napoleon"
mircea_popescu: bounce: "we're looking for
a junior database developer. you will also be our DBA. we do big data and require tsql skills. we're active in 80% of the country's hospitals. we're an entirely microsoft shop." -- this advert frightens me. <<< omfg holy shit.
ziggamon: the topup method is for most cases
a direct-to-mobile, bitrefill sends
a request to the distributor, who then sends
a request to the operator, and the user gets
a nice sms saying ”your account was topped up”
bounce: the saddest thing is that the SI has quite
a neat system in place already, but nobody deigns to use it.
RagnarDanneskjol: 'Topup is delivered the second the transaction clears' - how do you characterize
a 'cleared' transaction and what method/process is used to fill the phone account
ziggamon: fair enough. yeah, there’s been
a lot of talk about that. not super happy about the bits word, but I do think moving the decimal separator makes sense
undata: or at least that's where there was
a lot of rabble regarding
mike_c: but overall i think it's fine. undifferentiated field so it's largely just
a marketing challenge.
bounce: probably not
a good idea to invent new terms in support of catering to the stupid, causing more confusion
mike_c: to me it feels
a bit confusing. i look at the price list and it says "for 10 usd pay this bits" and I really don't know how much I'm paying.
ziggamon: it’s different for different countries. but markup is generally 10-20%. each supported operator has
a pricelist that can be checked through the ”supported countries” bar
bounce happens to not have
a number in
a supported country so can't check. I don't suppose you have
a list of fees and stuff somewhere?
ziggamon: bounce: it’s
a distributor for now. If we manage to get usage we’ll go straight to operators, and then prices will be much lower as well
mike_c: doesn't seem like
a terrible idea.
ziggamon: www.bitrefill.com, it’s
a site where one can top up prepaid mobile minutes, currently works in 115 countries.
ziggamon: thanks for voice :) Want to show you guys
a little project of mine, looking for feedback
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: did you produce
a blob of Satoshi's writings on the crypto mailing list?
bounce: "we're looking for
a junior database developer. you will also be our DBA. we do big data and require tsql skills. we're active in 80% of the country's hospitals. we're an entirely microsoft shop." -- this advert frightens me.
punkman: did assbot change how it sends PMs? It keeps opening new windows in my client every time it sends
a line.
BingoBoingo sometimes forgets abused Usians aspire towards more than 200 square feet and
a flush toilet in their residence
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah even with the tax breaks above,
a person is going to pay at least 30-40% tax
BingoBoingo: <decimation> one can depreciate the house to $0 over 30 years << One can depreciate house to
a liability within
a day
decimation: I thought insurance companies drop you like
a hot potato if you pull that
decimation: which is why renting is not
a thing for most folks
BingoBoingo: I mean even if must live in the bay area, Oakland is
a place...
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> how many volumes in ru or de in the topology section of the largest academic library in ohio? << At OSU prolly
a lot and you can walk them out the door forever
