nubbins`: also,
i may have a lead on a poster job for a music festival ghostface killah is playing at
pankkake: mind you,
I really like cats, and
I wish
I could have one
ThickAsThieves:
i think calling a cat a goldigger might be a tad off the mark
Rassah: but
I purposefully worded it in the OP as if
I had lost it all
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves does your position reduce to "cats love you too but you'll never know ?" cause
i could argue the same of dildos.
Rassah: <mircea_popescu> Ah, forgot about that one. Sorry,
I was trolling the bitcoin trolls, and explaining things to any alphabet soup agencies that may be listening.
ThickAsThieves: and
i'm also pretty sure cats will mourn for their own
pankkake: there was (still is?) a porn kickstarter, but most of the things there were boring. the only one
I voted for didn't go to funding stage
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, idk; who is that?
I'm talking about Wolf`
Rassah: hmm...
I wonder what it would take for LocalTrader to compete with bitcoin-otc?...
rithm: xvideos and pornhub have a terrible selection based on the search
i just did for childporn
assbot:
I wasn’t going to actually post this, but… pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
Rassah: Trolls claim bitcoin is used for childporn,
I point out that that's not true because no one pays for porn any more. Yet you do
kakobrekla:
i got 3kw for 500bux a couple of months ago
rithm:
i delightfully detached from that now
Rassah: Oh, also got a 1,500 Watt inverter for it that can power quite a bit of my house.
I can power that thing for about a week on a 10 gallon tank of gas. Conveient for camping, power outages, or GTOFing
mircea_popescu: Rassah
i just did the math,
i spent more on camhos this month than your ho nda took every 5-6.
Rassah: Plus
I like driving a cell phone on wheels :D
rithm:
i'd have to dig up screenshots
Rassah: What
I didn't know before is that Priuses have no transmissions, timing belts, or belts f any kind, and reqire practicaly no mainenance other than 10k mile oil changes and 100k brake pad and transaxle fluid changes. Everything else is electric... After $600+ expenses every 3 to 5 years on my Honda Civic, this is awesome. The 60mpg helps too
danielpbarron:
i don't think a 1`000 BTC prius can ever get a ROI
rithm: oh are we having the conversation about "how x could be different if only
i"
Rassah:
I don't give a shit about the environment.
I bought it to save money
Rassah: btw, the only people here
I know are Mircea...
Rassah: And, btw,
I was buying when it was $6, then $16, then $22, and then continued bying all the wa from $30 to $2.50, because
I understood and believed in the syste
rithm: someone linked me to the blog and
i read paranoia and/or a failed raid controller
Rassah: at $22, thinking "bubble."
I was wrong on that, but my car had 250,000+ miles on it and was almost dead, so *shrug*.
I have never sold out any of my other coins. As far as anyone knows,
I have lost them all in a boating accident, or when
I accidentally dropped my USB stick into an airplane toilet and flushed it out over the Atlantic
Rassah:
I was an early adopter,
I bought bicoin usin my OWN retirement funds (
i.e. money slated to go to IRA and savings every week ended up going into Bitcoin). Then
I borrowed some more money from our HELOC to buy a $30k BLF miner,
I never preordered, waiting for them to ship, by February 2013 they still didn't ship, so
I sold those bitcins, paid off the HELOC, and bought this
http://imgur.com/ZGjrh4e instead.
I bought at $8, and sold
Rassah: No,
I'm prettu syre not
ThickAsThieves:
i just mean how lots of bitcoin biz are getting early investors and making coindesk about it
Rassah:
I beieve the idea is to get merchants to use a "terminal" or sorts to use our cards with, which will provide some of the mesh. Once the cards are done, we'll probably also sell solar powered radio repeaters, with no screens or walet, which should make those dirt cheap too. Then you just glue them to tops of things
Rassah: First version of Bitcincard will just be a hardware wallet. Later version, once we get newer battery technology implemented (
I think carbon?) it will do full mesh networking, meaning you'll be able to use Bitcoin without need for inernet, and if charged with solar, infrastructue of any kind
ThickAsThieves:
i recall them having a credit card gizmo with buttons on it
Rassah: Most of the people
I'm connected with don't have time for it.
Rassah:
I'm pretty well connected. Just not on IRC :)
Rassah:
I would trust an established banking institution more than an OTC trader with 2 or 3 ratings.
I would trust an established OTC trader more than a bank
mircea_popescu: Rassah well,
i linked you to the log. thing is, this right here is the hot core of btc. you will have to simply read the logs.
Rassah: Mircea, care to fill me in on other thins
I've missed? The "we don't need distributed xchanges ay more" is surprising considering MtGox died just 6 months ago, and BTC-e is questionable
danielpbarron: if
I think BTC is about to go down,
I have local associates who would probably buy it off me today
Rassah: From the way he described it,
I think he only wants it to be a temporary stepping stone to make USD to BTC transition easer, and doesn't expect it to last very long
nubbins`:
i like it when
i tell people their artwork isn't big enough, and they just scale it up in photoshop
Rassah: So, has it been long settled that we don't need a distributed exchange?
I missed that memo...
mircea_popescu: Rassah so
i sue his "bank/exchange", have its accounts locked.
Rassah:
I'm assuming that cryptocurrency that exists on Mastercin is transfered with private key signatures, and is permanent and complete upon transfer, same as every other cryptocurrency. No chargebacks
Rassah: No,
I mean exchage that happens on #bitcoin-otc, but without need for escrow
Rassah:
I have doubts that banks and US reglators will allow it to happen though... but Brock does have some influence
Rassah: Although
I support Realcoin, that statement is a bit... reduntant? Useless? Price moves for or against relative to something else, so instead of using Realcoin, you can just as easily use that something else...
Rassah: Woah.
I haven't authenticated in over a year. Shows how often
I visit IRC :p
Rassah: yes.
I'm one of the 7 or so treasurers...
mircea_popescu: so
i am listening to this limp bizkit thing. is it like some sort of wannabe offspring, 20 years later ?
Xplosionist: mircea_popescu: Okay.
I just "didn't get it". ;-)
Xplosionist: mircea_popescu: Where did you get your numbers?
I just did "6 per hour", which is of course only the theory, not the reality.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu
I thought you'd have a beard/shorter hair.
pankkake: this matches the people
I know - and not only electricity
ThickAsThieves: <@mircea_popescu> so do we have any adwords specialists in our midst ? ///
I've notable experience, if not somewhat dated
nubbins`: seriously, what am
i supposed to do with that image
fluffypony: bitcoinpete: had lots of catch-up work to do, missed a group exco meeting whilst
I was away
bitcoinpete: alan's all: "Thanks Michael. Now
I feel really dumb to have not found that easier. Thx!"
pankkake:
I'm not sure debian runs it by default
fluffypony:
I can't even remember which article it was
mircea_popescu: fluffypony so not that terribly interesting, the sort of "
i've done google research from the us" article.
decimation:
I wonder why usg & hmg bother to pay "spies" to ... secretly watch ebay auctions
decimation: well,
I'm thinking of "likes" of its foreign policy
mircea_popescu: o lol you went by map.
i think they just didn't fill it in
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron this is false,
i personally had drinks with a bunch of openly gay people there.
decimation:
I guess
I was thinking of reasons why "the public" would bother to invest in a publically available stock.
