mircea_popescu: holy shit i own ##buttcoin
benkay: i'm already doomed
benkay: in other news, i'm looking at wireframes and user experience jibberjabber for a biggish home automation project
mircea_popescu: i was like... what sort of tatar tribe from 1700 did this guy grow up with
mircea_popescu: o to sink. i read "sink in"
mircea_popescu: hey lambchop, if you're reading this : i've had enough entertainment i'm willing to pay. pick any bitbet you want, i'll put 1 btc in your name on the side of your choice. lemme know.
kakobrekla: i know email doesnt have a ban, but i think irc does?

ThickAsThieves: i imagine a clearer answer could be, it will resolve when the results of the open FOIA requests are responded to
kakobrekla: dafuq do i know
