DrewHorne: i guess not lol
benkay: <DrewHorne> i think you would agree that it would be more likely that the people in charge of the operation adminned the page, rather than that i just happened to have admin in addition to all of the other shot-callers // or you're the social media guy, how do i know
DrewHorne: believe me or not lol, i'll get back to you with it in a couple days
mircea_popescu: so if the fucking secret services can't get their shit together, what am i gonna ask of concert promoters

DrewHorne: i think you would agree that it would be more likely that the people in charge of the operation adminned the page, rather than that i just happened to have admin in addition to all of the other shot-callers

fluffypony: Dimsler: I have nfi, I'm not in that space and don't know the location at all, I was just hazarding a guess :)

fluffypony: Dimsler: moar venues I suppose
mircea_popescu: DrewHorne that was the other question i was going to ask. prev discussion you had gross income of 1.5mn over $40 tickets and 4k attendance. these numbers are a degree of magnitude off, what gives ? ☟︎
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, can i depend on it to protect bitcoin?
danielpbarron: it's a default app in debian based systems i think; but openbsd doesn't have it
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron bout half those present i'd guess
DrewHorne: i assure you that i am not his newly adopted alias
DrewHorne: im afraid i dont have an answer for that mircea
DrewHorne: since i have had a few interested people contact me based off of the last post i made regarding this (approached much less professionally without knowledge of the forum i was getting into) i figured i can let this sit on the off chance that other investors happen upon it while i work on building my trust in the WOT to approach from that angle as well
DrewHorne: mircea i would be interested to see any feedback you might have for me to improve this post if you had a moment
DrewHorne: i know theres a lot of bullshit on there but there are some legitimate businessmen too if i can find the diamond amongst all the shit

decimation: " I see the winklevii at conferences about bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: the order is instructive i think
mircea_popescu: bounce: since you already cannot live without some bank account and they all charge more or less the same there's no way out of that << i've never had a personal bank accouint actually.
mircea_popescu: except, i don't owe them 30 euros a month currently, so...
mircea_popescu: jurov: bounce find me one bank that slashed fees by 60% << well my bank keeps trying to sell me on this deal whereby if i pay them 30 euros a month fixedx they'll cut their per tx fees to 0 for x txn and to 50% for all the rest.
benkay: lol for a sec i thought Donno was a human
kakobrekla: i dun remember
kakobrekla: i think asciilifeform had some things to say re trezor
fluffypony: coloured coins are maybe more interesting, but then I have to wonder if it's solving a problem that needs solving?
CheckDavid: I see. I don't feel concerned about that honesty
fluffypony: I do have a problem with something that seems to, on face value, just enable scammers to scam even more easily than CryptoStocks
fluffypony: CheckDavid: I also have no problem with operators being real-world anonymous if they choose to do so, there are checks and balances in place for that (such as their WoT presence)
fluffypony: CheckDavid: fundamentally I don't have a problem with the *idea* of a distributed exchange, the problem is that it's not realistically plausible right now (in terms of being able to handle any significant trade volume)
CheckDavid: I am am just asking about the current state and their respective pros and cons
CheckDavid: I am a bit confused
CheckDavid: I wanted to ask you guys something

Drew: how do i login to my account i made?
Drew: and yea the investment i was looking for was about 1.25m, so not so much little
Drew: yea i downloaded the irc client
Drew: im about to post a different version of my little investment seeking thread on bitcoin talk, self moderated to delete trolls and just let it sort of sit around as advertisement while i start building my trust to approach from a different angle
kakobrekla: i dunno isnt twitter loaded by js
herbijudlestoids: anyway guise, love you many long time, i miss the stimulating conversation of this room and hope to return
herbijudlestoids: i was wondering what was going on
jurov: i;m tired of all these hypotheticals anyway. they'll surely try these rfid-enabled sidewalk tolls and whatnot
bounce: sure I don't get it.
jurov: bounce i just described how it's done in practice
HeySteve: ah yes, I remember that story, ta

asciilifeform: i can picture, for instance, traffic lights detecting pedestrians via same
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't like this entire in person shopping thing anyway << dragging one's arse to a shop remains a pain. rfid arches might ease the pain, but at what cost.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> other thing, folks will answer 'i've an electromagnetically-shielded wallet! haha' - but see who laughs last. eventually, you won't even be able to walk into a shop unless the door can read your CC << this is a good thing, becayse i don't like this entire in person shopping thing anywayu
benkay: thestringpuller: the girl put together a boquet for which i took credit. i am also going over this morning to take credit for the meal my sister is making.
jurov: i think he's a subversion of mircea's thickening necks theory
thestringpuller: I LOVE IT
Apocalyptic: i hope it won't come to that ascii
asciilifeform: next, i suppose, toll archways in public walkways - similar to the RFID readers on american toll roads
asciilifeform: other thing, folks will answer 'i've an electromagnetically-shielded wallet! haha' - but see who laughs last. eventually, you won't even be able to walk into a shop unless the door can read your CC
davout: asciilifeform: i'm not a camel, my bulge is on the other side
fluffypony: davout: I love how you got accused of being related to Karpeles
davout: i decentralize-fair-p2p vote for it
fluffypony: I move for pankkake to be nominated as CTO of Bitcoin
InGoldWeTrust: I thought this was a chat room for bitcoin, must be the wrong place
InGoldWeTrust: now I cant talk?
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is an angle most of the "us will ban bitcoin" theoreticians fail to understand. bitcoin fucking saved the us, because the way things were going....
