assbot: i love lamp - YouTube

benkay: okay i contest that bash dynamics are broken

benkay: i think that decision's already been made.

fluffypony: benkay: see this is why I'm suggesting South Africa as a venue for the next conference

benkay: <fluffypony> oh well, log catchup time: http://i.imgur.com/jCpZOWn.jpg // wao jelly

jurov: bash updated...with some remorse that i should shorten the quips (except for vexual one ofc)

fluffypony: just thought I'd let everyone know so you can sell off your holdings and buy Professional Coin Nautiluscoin instead

fluffypony: I think he's trying to provide a software platform that will make the foundation obselete

fluffypony: I don't think it's that

fluffypony: nah jurov, credit where credit is due, I don't think that's what he's aiming for

jurov: i'm sure for 250btc a bots can be built, for sipping frappucino and pleasing children

jurov: i undertood that as "replace karpeles and pierce with bots"

fluffypony: I actually really hope this happens, it will make the foundation obselete

fluffypony: "I am thinking of a system where prominent people can voice their opinion, where people can propose projects, and where the core devs can actively show their roadmap with detailed features + costs, and where we can vote on the features being implemented by sending bitcoins towards the feature of our choice."

moiety: i just need to sort out references and apply :D

moiety: yep and I loved it! /really/ would like it, it was so nice :D even has motion sensing lights in the stairwell so i dont break myself in the dark

fluffypony: I imagine pankkake as Mr. T being all like "I pity tha fool that uses altcoins"

fluffypony: I like Peter Todd

pankkake: "Peter Todd notes to Etherium fans to be careful because Bitcoin can always just copy whatever they do" I don't know who this is, but it's pretty much my point about alcoins: they're experiments, and most of what they do could be pushed into Bitcoin if it was actually useful

mircea_popescu: quite decentralised. i bet the overstuck guy, w/e his name is, has no fucking idea what exactly "issuing shares on top of blockchain" really means.

mircea_popescu: i wonder what the aggreegated loss to the world's gdp due to people using anything other than wot based systems to communicate comes to.

asciilifeform: funny thing - i was expecting to see more discussion of the elgamal thing here.

fluffypony: well I understand it

fluffypony: I guess she gets tons of pm's on Reddit and disregards them

mircea_popescu: i mean, why not at this point

punkman: I wonder what hug excitation was before the translation

mircea_popescu: i thought you were actually setting up fonts and whatnot

danielpbarron: and to answer the question: I'm not sure.. maybe a dozen?

danielpbarron: <+mircea_popescu> lol danielpbarron how many of these trilema pics have you made so far ? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bn0dwhwCYAACIRI.jpg << these don't take very long to make; i'm just doing a screen-capture of my iPhone while reading the article in Instapaper(which formats the text like that)

fluffypony: I can't

punkman: http://art.penny-arcade.com/photos/i-nK7K6vc/0/1050x10000/i-nK7K6vc-1050x10000.jpg

mircea_popescu: i've known people like that.

mircea_popescu: i swear it's how the translator in my head goes, which is why i almost never discuss bitcoin with noobs.

mircea_popescu: "i don't want to know about umbrellas because i don't like rain. also, baths are better"

fluffypony: ironically he actually holds a little stack of Bitcoin, so I ended the conversation by calling him out on that :-P

mircea_popescu: but i mean the part where he "doesn't like it".

mircea_popescu: i guess that's a reasonable description

fluffypony: Bitcoin just shifts it from "I was born into a wealthy/connected family" to "I understood Bitcoin before most others"

fluffypony: and I said that class distinction has and will always be around

fluffypony: well I argued for class distinction

mircea_popescu: there's this incomprehensible (to me) tendency to approach non-bitcoin people as if they were somehow... i dunno, almost human.

fluffypony: so I had this discussion with someone the other day, they said the main reason they don't like Bitcoin is because there's no demurrage

punkman: I like that

fluffypony: mircea_popescu I have this suspicion that they'll keep pushing, driving "adoption" and "community" and "bitcoin 2.0"

fluffypony: http://i.imgur.com/nBPCdkV.png

fluffypony: this is how I imagine Vexual's youth: http://i.imgur.com/ps3QBw7.jpg

punkman: can it be done on a difference engine, I wonder

BingoBoingo: What about most ridiculous hardware running a full node. I imagine someone submitting an orphanage could win that.

fluffypony: jurov: feature request - please can the order total when creating a new order include fees so I don't have to guess / calculate them myself

fluffypony: I vote for that award, then

mircea_popescu: i guess next year we get "make your own bitcoin foundation" websites.

mircea_popescu: fluffypony i think you have to bear in mind that definite statements made by poor people reflect their hopes, and no facts whatsoever.

fluffypony: that's what I thought, but I see a lot of conversations with statements of fact about it - "the whale is buying XX worth, the market's going to move up in response!" etc. etc.

fluffypony: is there a recommended resource for learning how currency markets react to large moves? I have little knowledge in this, but I'm interested in figuring out how corrections happen when large bids or asks are placed and bought/sold into

fluffypony: I'm aiming to win.

mircea_popescu: also, next conference i'm going to have the mpex awards. working list :

bounce: I'll drop a tree on you, for hugging

mircea_popescu: i thot he's the authority on all matters cryptonomical.

mircea_popescu: what's the score here, i didn't like ec stuff, never gave a reason, scheneier loved it, gave a lot of mumbo jumbo reasons ?

mircea_popescu: Vexual: I just read a deliciously accessible blog post by mp << i apologize humbly, humbly, deeply, and sincerely about the fork.

assbot: How I bypassed 2-Factor-Authentication on Google, Facebook, Yahoo, LinkedIn, and many others.

fluffypony: http://shubh.am/how-i-bypassed-2-factor-authentication-on-google-yahoo-linkedin-and-many-others/

fluffypony: I suspect that it might be quite distasteful to the individual(s) concerned

fluffypony: I think it's how I'm going to do all log catch-up sessions from now on

fluffypony: oh well, log catchup time: http://i.imgur.com/jCpZOWn.jpg

fluffypony: 465 million monthly active users and 330 million daily users, and I know a lot of the South African youth have already paid their subscription fee from their prepaid airtime

fluffypony: I wonder what keyboard the US military purchase, maybe I can buy one of those and say say that our architecture is designed on "military grade hardware"

fluffypony: ;;later tell bitcoinpete I have an old Thinkpad at home...I'm thinking of putting a Bitcoin wallet on it and telling people that my cold storage "leverages military-grade hardware"

jurov: yes, i know... but looks it needs to be moved to mpex

fluffypony: I have a reasonably vague idea based on what's been discussed here

fluffypony: so I received my iQi Mobile wireless charging kit for our iPhones

bitcoinpete: anyhoo, i'm off to bed

Vexual: I got my book back.

kakobrekla: BingoBoingo i dont think bex actually sold a single instance ? and they have been around for a while

Vexual: I got back and found powerhead abuse to phillips head platters

BingoBoingo: No idea who yuri is, but there's other skin issues around that area. I think MP's right. Once I heal up I need to class up my taste in whores.

Vexual: Well ive gotta appear businesses like if I wot

benkay: i mean i know i'm a whore but you gotta pony up with the retainer first

Vexual: You and I showed

benkay: well first i find someone with a problem, then they write me a check or send me some coins, then i point the cannon at their problem and after about three weeks to three months and some swearing they have some technology that makes their life better or business move slightly more quickly.

Vexual: I plan to get in the wot and start a sidechan with atc twoup so my legacy extends beyond making kakos whispy pubes blow in the wind

benkay: i'm actually fucking *thrilled* with the thing.

benkay: well my boys and i built an app cannon and now i need more targets to point it at

Vexual: I just read a deliciously accessible blog post by mp

fluffypony: "I am convinced that if in general society encouraged kids to take risks and at the same time encouraged them to kill themselves once their risk taking failed we would have much healthier youth (mentally especially), a much better education system, much nicer things, much less debt and pretty much no problems at all."
