fluffypony: mircea_popescu: BY THE WAY
I got a Romanian to explain the gypsy crossword puzzle joke to me
mircea_popescu: instead of showering.
i'm sitting here stinking of sweat and ballsack, and writing thousands of words. instead of showering. talk about mental conditions.
fluffypony: ok so
I got side-tracked - what am
I supposed to announce? "The new direct support number for Bitcoin" ?
mircea_popescu:
i'm just sorry
i didn't get a picture of a police comissioner's severed head wrapped in a newspaper discussing the unseasonable rain.
chetty: well as
I understand it bitcoin here goes for like 20% over market price, that might have something to do with it
chetty: nope,
I just noticed that everytime
I use the word my post goes to 'moderation' and never shows up
chetty: so
I just discovered that an expat forum
I am on is cencoring the word bitcoin
kakobrekla: >
I have spent the last year in the role of CTO at a Bitcoin startup and now that
I have some spare time,
I want to apply some of the innovations from the Bitcoin space to other problems.
assbot: Bitcoin's ideological conundrum: is it better to dumb it down (
i.e., Circle) or should we be trying to educate people about rights & money?
bitcoinpete: he dm'd me on twitter after
i told him to bootstrap his own damn pet projects
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: lol taleb faved a pic
i posted of the black swan in romanian
moiety: thanks :]
i did too lol, you can pick a sort of memorable one which is good
fluffypony:
I'm just busy organising number and skype credit
fluffypony: moiety:
I've created a Skype account with the username bitcoinassets
mircea_popescu: and
i would like the blog to be on anything that's not blogspot.
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> in this instance it's for a valid cause :) <<
i'm impressed how well this works. same thing happened with openbsd, people ended up giving them like 100k. and we don't even have a foundation! and we're not even ceos of bitcoin!
fluffypony: yeah
I should probably pester them some more
fluffypony: Phoebus:
I'm still waiting for them to support voice in South Africa
mircea_popescu: <moiety> ok, can get a skye dedicated number for £4.03/month or £11.50/3months or
i can just attach it to my mobile number << how about a year ?
fluffypony: and
I don't mind throwing 20 GBP at it every time it runs low
fluffypony: bounce:
I can write it off as a business expense
fluffypony:
I'm happy to pay the 4 EUR, and Skype is easy enough for this
fluffypony: moiety: yes, but
I think you have to be in the US for it?
fluffypony:
I'll prepay it for 3 months, and if successful
I'll keep paying it
moiety: ok, can get a skye dedicated number for £4.03/month or £11.50/3months or
i can just attach it to my mobile number
bounce: in fact
I have a softphone with DID lying around, never really tested
Phoebus: Have you guys watched fonejacker? Was on some british channel, 4
I think. Do something that that :P
bounce:
I'm having to stop slacking soonish today though, but tomorrow and onward is open.
bounce: sure. not that
I know much,
I tried to set it up once before and horribly failed (something funky with the nokia voip stack and passive-aggressive RFC handling), but
I'll be glad to help
jurov:
i'll gladly help, too
mircea_popescu:
i don't think she'll comfortably manage the tech stuff on her own
mircea_popescu: bounce mind helping her out ? practically rather than theoretically
i mean
bounce: no, not other than.
I ment skype:#bitcoin_assets not skype:moderncuriosity
moiety: my account is called moderncuriosity,
i'm happy to make a new one, whatever works best
mircea_popescu: she's only working for me in the sense that
i'm the one to pay her first.
mircea_popescu: ok, so here's the deal, you get 1 bitcent an hour for now,
i'll prepay you 100 hours. as an extra, you start a blog, keep a log of your calls there. time, very short summary of conversation. no publicly identifiable info.
moiety: well, reception is what
i do so
i'm happy to do it for you.
i don't make personall calls so
i can keep records. im not sure how you feel about it being a mobile number?
moiety: my number is disposable. only two people know it. what about call backs?
i'm not in a position to call internationally
mircea_popescu: moiety
i do not want you to say anything specific. we'll publish your number, anyone calls with a question you answer to the best of your ability, as per your knowledge assimilated here.
moiety:
I would be amenable,
i'd like to be clear on what you'd like me to say
moiety:
i do, mobile not landline though
bounce: OTOneH
I've had that thought for ages, irc to voice, though voice to irc would perhaps be a bit of a challenge. also the plusvees. OTOtherH this made me realise
I perhaps really shouldn't want to try and find out
mircea_popescu:
i suppose you can sell bitcoin-assets protection services
jurov: and that was in person. and they wanted to talk by phone which
i abhor for other reasons
jurov: so far
i never succeeded to explain to anyone what's this about,
i gave up
jurov:
i can now link them to ho's today performance
jurov: yesterday
i emaled to prospective investor (more politely) "
i don't want to become a bridge between VC and people around MPEx, pls read my blog, otherwise you're in for cultural shock"
bounce:
I remember thinking too many buzzwords, also the wrong ones.
Vexual:
I think ass could call that trademark in law
bounce: oh
I think we discussed globalcoinfx a while back, didn't we? the pattern rings a bell.
mircea_popescu: so your theory is
i call up bill mills and ask "hey, you got a ho working there" and he says "sure" and
i say a ok ?
ho_: ah, wasn't aware
I was being interrogated
ho_: yeah..
I think it does.
mircea_popescu: punkman no ty, im not interested in which conference he "ceo"'d.
i have people over for drinks every fucking week,
ho_: and what
I have done in the past.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla
i recall the guy asking him the q was actually in the room. maybe dub ?
ho_:
I'm the founder.. www.linkedin.com/in/papathanasiou
ho_: punkman -
I dont like the sound of 'forgotten compliance' :)
ho_:
I'm the guy behind this: www.globalcoinfx.com
moiety: kakobrekla:
i think manuls with laser eyes
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu
i vote to continue that motion
moiety: yes and
i bring cookies thestringpuller
moiety: jurov:
i think gavin might be too placid to pull off the manul-look
kakobrekla: <Luke-Jr> if nobody tries, it won't happen for sure < theres a HUGE gap between that and "
I SHOULD DO IT"
moiety: true but
i wouldn't have thought the reception would've been to great either had they thought you were there to reform them?
Luke-Jr: moiety:
I didn't plan that far ahead.
Luke-Jr: kakobrekla: more lies,
I see?
Luke-Jr: moiety:
I assure you,
I've never raped anyone, much less a child.
