jurov: xmj don't hold your breath, from the glitches i've seen he clearly uses perl
mircea_popescu: i currently don't. people who were around long long ago, when the year was 2012 and bitcoin was young know. i intend to maintain it as such, both in recognition of their privilege, and due to the fact that noobs really have no business knowing, or asking.
ThickAsThieves: i mean...

ThickAsThieves: i found your answer suboptimal

ThickAsThieves: i can try

mircea_popescu: how do i do it ?

mircea_popescu: xmj: i'm living in a country whose minimum wage is 300EUR/month, and make a few orders of magnitude. so that's going to be feasible << out of gaming fidelity rewards ?
mircea_popescu: "Hello. This is the letter I never expected I would have to write, primarily because I never saw this coming." lol usagi is such win
mircea_popescu: that article is amusing. The idea that the "normals" can "wake up" and do something about their situation is silly. << they can, i have experimentally verified this.
mircea_popescu: i could imagine scarier things, but not easily
xmj: joecool: I've looked into AmEx pricing, it's reasonable IF I can use it for most daily purchases.
joecool: but i don't pay annual fees, don't agree with it, they make enough off merchant fees, that's why i don't have charge :)
joecool: ah ok, def check what amex offers in your country, i know it's different regionally (i have a blue cash and anytime i'm out of the US nobody has ever seen one before)
xmj: i'm living in a country whose minimum wage is 300EUR/month, and make a few orders of magnitude. so that's going to be feasible
xmj: joecool: I was thinking on getting an American Express for this exact purpose
joecool: xmj: you can do pretty well gaming credit card introductions to get miles, i dunno what your credit situation is
xmj: joecool: I just want to make 34'000 M&M Miles this year
xmj: what I want to achieve is getting a LuftHansa Frequent Traveller card without spending _too_ much.
xmj: where do I find that?
joecool: xmj: i haven't really gotten into it so much, flyertalk is the place to go for that
fluffypony: mircea_popescu:anyone with a reddit presence want to start a subreddit ? <- I've found /r/BitcoinSerious to be really good, just not enough subscribers to keep the discussion flowing at pace
joecool: However it means we can never prove a legal claim to money owed to us by HashKing, AmazingRando, Ian Bakewell, BitcoinRS, etc. << ie. i'm going to sue bitvps for potential losses on money people owe me but might never pay

decimation: I find your remark about the lack of classics scholarship in the US interesting
decimation: I don't buy that the UK masses have suddenly turned against thier progressive overlords
decimation: I donno, I guess it seems like in the world of building electronics, it takes lots of hard work and expensive trained staff to make a few percent profit per annum
decimation: well, I guess the rule of thumb I was taught was for a private company, a reasonable offer is about 5 years revenue
decimation: I have a modest collection of Weimar notes
decimation: I guess Rolls Royce should have made dumbass thermostats, it would have been more profitable
asciilifeform: i like to convert sv vc crapolade to bus units
decimation: I suspect that a jet engine manufacturer is worth less than a bus fleet too
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: now i wake at like 8am << yer in my time zone now, minus the dst crap
decimation: actually I bet that's less true for helicopters than commercial aircraft
asciilifeform: over here, i can almost see the people inside.

mircea_popescu: \cgcardona: the header on trilema changed again? i thought it was once a quarter << i made an exception
mircea_popescu: so now i wake at like 8am
mircea_popescu: well it turns out i was living on argentine time when in romania
poutine: No, but I am developing some cluster based transactional services for it
decimation: I can't think of any better proof that our "economy" is just a "USG friends & family plan"
moiety: np decimation, sorry i didn't check seeif you could self up. i bet Apple is pissed ..and I wonder how much more Synaptics offered
poutine: moiety, Well I recently familiarized myself with several aspects of the source code, and have been writing some custom transactions myself, https://blockchain.info/tx/15c2b9bc3b93e0c0a037c5fa8402d0e34e13d3bb0ce7fca65888e5d24e597dcc is a recent one.

moiety: these lil folks are amazing asciilifeform! i thought they looked like the sand cat in head shape, same genus :] like sand cats with more patterns
asciilifeform: given as the only stock exchange widget i was aware of was... glbse.
asciilifeform: at the time, i was a very pessimistic skeptic of any btc-based system driven by human hands (vs. mechanically decentralized a la the blockchain)
asciilifeform: cgcardona: story behind that post. one day, mpoe-pr (first contact) writes to me, asks, 'mr. p found your piece re: btc interesting, have a free demo of his mpex system, write us a review.' so i had test drive, wrote review.
cgcardona: i was at Trulia before/after the IPO and there was a noticable difference
mike_c: idk. they aren't even public yet. i guess i expected more of a laissez faire attitude.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: I think bans are probably automated when a landslide of reports from a TOS violating reddit witchhunt occur
pankkake: I don't think so
duke_: i can talk now ?
BingoBoingo: I swear the Buttcoin people offer more insightful commentary into Bitcoin than r/bitcoin
cgcardona: the header on trilema changed again? i thought it was once a quarter
