CheckDavid: dignork: I find it hard to conceive of a business that can't think of expansion .
CheckDavid: Mats_cd03: I see. So when should a startup start paying dividends? And you have to admit, from startup to coca cola status is a long voyage.
CheckDavid: I wanted to ask something you guys certainly know the answer to.

bitcoinpete: fluffypony: i blame edm
fluffypony: I haven't heard anyone outside of ZA call someone else "bru"
bitcoinpete: nubbins`: i think it was around 200 ltc for the lot
nubbins`: and i doubt any of them have lasting value
nubbins`: i'm wary of non-casascius coins in general
BingoBoingo: I imagine physical lite coins might suffer a bit of a discount over C's bitcoins do the their creator, Smoothie's righteous trolling
bitcoinpete: i even tried litecointalk w/o much success
nubbins`: can't trust sites like that. "i am asking for this much money" != "it is worth this much money"
bitcoinpete: one of the few i've seen listed anywhere was here: http://merlinsmint.com
nubbins`: i don't deal in physical cryptos beyond casascius
bitcoinpete: ;;later tell nubbins`i have a couple of the lealana physical coins (2x10, 2x25) but i'm having a hard time figuring out what they're worth. could you point me in the right direction?

BingoBoingo: pankkake: I'm kind of doubting we'll see $10,000 BTC while they are solvent.
pankkake: I don't know, coindesk doesn't seem overly enthusiast about those things
BingoBoingo: I'm wondering when the heard will start calling out CoinDesk for constantly leading them over the cliff into the jaws of a Manul like a bunch of lemmings
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Sure, but I liked the old Multibit random wallet. That and electrum made a nice pair providing different kinds of addresses for different purposes.

fluffypony: I believe we've found the guide /r/bitcoin has been using for post titles
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: re: publishers << i know no one who will shed even one tear for the rent-seeking sacks of shit.
chetty: I guess sel in May and go away doesn't count in btc
princessnell: chetty unfortunately i don't think that will matter
chetty: artifexd, I use ubuntu for development, its not that bad - but on newer releases you gotta dump the unity desktop
nubbins`: i can dig that
bitcoinpete: i imagine a west african tribal village with mp dressed as a shaman

princessnell: i am still getting a feel for everyone here
princessnell: bitcoinpete sure. i was just responding to his idea as presented. but we'll see.
bitcoinpete: princessnell: i can't speak more on mp's behalf. i know not his mind
princessnell: ok, but i'm not sure how that addresses "this opens up a large debate as to whether life has purpose. i happen to hold that it doesnt."
bitcoinpete: i would've thought he was the exact opposite
princessnell: bitcoinpete you're right. i was framing in terms of MP's nihilism.
princessnell: mircea_popescu and in that they become unhuman. basically a major point of that article is that this desperate clutching at straws, people trying to retain their people-relevance in economics is a little lulzy. there's no room for politics in economy. << i am excited to learn more about this non-political economy you have discovered!
bitcoinpete: princessnell i think that's too reductionist
princessnell: mircea_popescu: this opens up a large debate as to whether life has purpose. i happen to hold that it doesnt, which informs the choice of vocabulary. it'll have to be translated (apolitic ?) to avoid linking that dependency in there. << on the most basic level the purpose of life is to keep living. everything else is window dressing but the actions they adorn reveal a necessary performative acknowlegement.
asciilifeform: next to it, on the curb, i left a g3 mac. wonder if anyone lifted it.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If I ever get bored enough to take up metalworking as a hobby cases like that would make interesting projects.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i still wish it were possible to buy a pc/atx chassis built like that hp.

artifexd: I remember a story from the early 90's about people coming to the US from Russia and getting stuck in the supermarket because they couldn't choose a toothpaste due to the number of choices.
asciilifeform: you can use kde, gnome, etc. i suppose - but see mircea_popescu's recent essay re: what that's like.
benkay: i wouldn't know
artifexd: Does which distribution I use even really matter?
artifexd: I'm not married to Centos. It is just what I've used for servers at home.
artifexd: Additional requirement: It has to be multi-monitor friendly. I'm driving over 10megapixels of desktop.
artifexd: I was thinking about Ubuntu but apparently they suck for reasons that are unclear to me.
artifexd: Any recommendations for a linux desktop? Requirements: It would mostly be used for dev work and standard internet user stuff and I have to be able to run Windows in a VM (work requires Visual Studio).
moiety: i have to run out for half hour again but i'll be back asaic
jurov: cuz i'm at a party atm, just wanted to shut down my lappy
thestringpuller: well at least I don't use that password in too many places ~_~ 2nd time i've done that. ugh
bitcoinpete: i'll bbl
thestringpuller: 2nd time i've done that
HeySteve: sure, I have no doubt it's SOP
benkay: what i'm trying to convey to you is that it's standard operating procedure regardless of the law.
HeySteve: sure, that's common sense. but banks trading against their customers, well I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Goldman has done it too
HeySteve: yeah I see what you mean
benkay: okay fine no its not, because i haven't made the paper up.
benkay: BingoBoingo: i have no questions for the man.
pankkake: however 1) I don't have the time 2) talkvestors wouldn't understand it
pankkake: benkay: I was thinking of starting a general shorting fund - sell shares that mimic shares in every way (pay same divs, buyback at vwap after X months). sell the shares at a discount to make them more appealing than real shares
benkay: HeySteve: i don't see the problem. sucker bought shit paper from a firm with a big fucking stick. firm used the stick to make the market do what they wanted.

asciilifeform: jurov: normally i don't give a rat's arse if people want to use it as a hammer. but inevitably they will whine, 'it's a poor hammer, help us'
bitcoinpete: that, i can do
TomServo: bitcoinpete: Nah, I appreciate your insight. Keep
bitcoinpete: TomServo: lol i'm nothing if not cursable.
TomServo: bitcoinpete: I gotta say, I curse your name often for revealing to me how these tards pronounce 'doge'. :P
bitcoinpete: jurov: i gotta say, quite impressed with coinbr thus far. wd
jurov: i guess ascii would get pretty annoyed, too. if cardano ended up used as btc wallet :D
jurov: ascii i know. maybe it can be hacked into doing ecdsa, tho
kakobrekla: i guess bfl wallet is also satanic
kakobrekla: davout i dont know, why you keep making trouble and asking us to solve it?!
kakobrekla: maybe i can make it into a bash
pankkake: but I hope davout loses because Paymium sucks ass for a name
