a shower.
BingoBoingo: So I'm looking like
a fucking sweaty unkempt hobo meeting with these guys in the front lawn.
mod6: heh, no worries. just
a heads up from this weekend.
BingoBoingo: I'm like if you want to talk shady sports betting sites that ran with user money... I know
a couple. Fucking bitcoinsports.eu
BingoBoingo: They were prolly so insistent because it would suck to be them and drive all of the way down here to meet with
a person as boring as myself.
BingoBoingo did not spot where they had
a actually parked their Gasenwagen
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: BTCPak was kind of
a Gyp, but at the time it was the only thing that really.... Seemed reliable

a handmade spalted mable/bubinga keepsake box for bitcoin on saturday

a decent exchange rate
assbot: Overstock.com: Prolly not
a scam | Bingo Blog
BingoBoingo: It was an Pasty Irish FBI agent who didn't want to stand in the sun and
a Treasury agent
Duffer1: i wonder what makes them believe there's
a connection
BingoBoingo: At the time CoinBase wasn't
a thing I'd heard of
BingoBoingo: It was
a site, you send Bitcoin they sent prepaid reload codes.

assbot: Logged on 10-08-2014 11:09:36; moiety: I really didn't know what to say yesterday but I've had time to think now. I will leave the phone line on for the remainder of the term when I can and update the blog but I won't be able to be on IRC. Since I won't be on IRC anymore, if there is anything I should really know, please leave
a message on skype or the blog. The reasons being, this isn't working out for me and I need to focus on working to keep
Kamuela: who should I be? as
a serious question
Kamuela: getting out is
a bit harder, but something the initial contractors will shoulder voluntarily
Kamuela: speculating? that's it? one of the biggest uses of currency is in transaction and the building of capital. we have some stock markets and that's great and will continue to grow along with 2.0 uses, but as
a currency it needs to facilitate real trade
assbot: trixisowned comments on With the mtgox fiasco being long forgotten, Mark Karpeles launches
a new business, "forever.net" selling VPS, VoIP & dedicated servers: bitcoin is NOT accepted.
Kamuela: you're always subject to
a bank at
a cash exchange
Kamuela: initially it isn't, it's
a single-server application. but ultimately i will seek to develop many methods of access via alternate and distributed networks
Kamuela: someone who shares the interests of many for
a Bitcoin work market,
a go-to for both supplemental and potentially off-grid lifestyles
Kamuela: and for it to be truly competitive to something like odesk, it will need to be flexible enough to establish itself in an overseas jurisdiction only when completely necessary. meaning dealing in USD first and setting up
a bank account makes it legally complex from the getgo
kakobrekla: ok so who are you and what makes you think you are theoretically capable of running such
a thing?
Kamuela: i'd like to keep it within bitcoin's community and equity based because everything else is
a crock of sh** honestly. it's not fair to give people merchandise and coupons for something that's going to generate revenue
thestringpuller: so you come to us #b-
a this the day of our daughter's wedding
Kamuela: briefly,
a bitcoin work market
a la odesk. development team ready
Kamuela: i'm trying to figure out the best way to crowdfund
a bitcoin project. i really want to give equity and profit-sharing because i think anything else is BS
kakobrekla: that is not even the point for
a while now.
mircea_popescu: this is
a lulzy proposition, but too complex
a point to try and explain it. cheaper to just let people try and pick up the pieces later.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1: looks like he was credited, but i can't tell what the website is supposed to be << best i can determine, it's aiming to be
a b-
a without the ba, predicated on the theory that you can somehow have ideologically neutral sources of power.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: what
a waste of silicon with such
a limited lifespan.... << one of the more abundant elements and what sand is made out of. i never thought i'd see one feel sorry ~for silicon~
mircea_popescu: interesting "When
a buy or sell order is submitted, the ANXBTC platform receives matching orders from an extensive number of buyers and sellers who have registered as part of the ANX Open Dealer Network. " << "we selftrade. deal with it"
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> it seems decent - based out of Hong Kong, so that's their primary market the cards are backed by
a bank in Poland << so weirdly contradictory.
TheNewDeal: website is just
a blog aggregator it looks like, also add in some "reading materials"
TomServo: Kamuela: But which article references b-
a?
Kamuela: did I probably butcher the real name? lol let me try to get the link. give me

a car with
a dead battery
Kamuela: do you folks have
a favorite crypto market?
artifexd: ;;later tell mike_c Any thoughts on why S.MPOE has fallen off
a cliff?
ben_vulpes: <BlueMeanie4> some of these bitcoin people are reminiscint of the french revolution. for
a few weeks they thought they could completely redesign the whole universe. << that party did rewrite the rules, and bitcoin'll do the same.
thestringpuller: I was just wondering because I used to do IT for
a company that would buy large amounts of old CPU's, and sell them to recyclers who would extract precious metals from them.
thestringpuller: or would their be
a way to recycle the components in some kinda "liquidation event"?
thestringpuller: nubbins`: the designer will email you with
a signed message

a buy or sell order is submitted, the ANXBTC platform receives matching orders from an extensive number of buyers and sellers who have registered as part of the ANX Open Dealer Network. "
fluffypony: the cards are backed by
a bank in Poland
fluffypony: plus they posted me
a letter with
a code to confirm my address on file
mircea_popescu: In 1933, Bankhead nearly died following
a five-hour emergency hysterectomy due to venereal disease. Only 70 pounds (32 kg) when she left the hospital, she stoically said to her doctor, "Don't think this has taught me
a lesson!"
mircea_popescu: Once, while in attendance at
a party,
a guest made
a comment about rape, and Bankhead reportedly replied, "I was raped in our driveway when I was eleven. You know darling, it was
a terrible experience because we had all that gravel."
mircea_popescu: An organist playing old Stork had
a prick that could hold
a small fork, and between obbligatos he'd munch on tomatoes to keep up his strength while at work.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: exponentially difficult << 'learn' for translating
a diplomat - perhaps hard; reading articles in your armchair slowly - not so hard << the diplomat in question doth protest.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you got most of it flawlessly, but the intro is
a bitch
BingoBoingo: "There is no principle difference between the ideal treatment for slaves captured in war and of children born in traditional families, both are people chained to their captors by some imagined debt, of which they personally have not acquiesced." << Interesting, if this is
a roughly worthwhile translation.
mircea_popescu: the best construction i can put on it is, "hey, the whiteknighting virgin geeks have finally found
a way to express their usual "
a guy that really loves and respects you and cares" derpage into bitcoin form"
mircea_popescu: sadly the guy has
a bitcoin address as
a coinbase wallet and
a pgp but no wot. wtf.
mircea_popescu: collect money from well to do white people, trick aspirational hispanos into working for free to "prove themselves", show
a profit.
mircea_popescu: abathingape someone should make
a "fuck your girlfriend" service.
mircea_popescu: hey have developed
a series of fallacies capable of fooling newcomers into joining them, but they are all disingenuous.
mircea_popescu: more
a function of what had been on tv that week / what the person picked up from google finance.
mircea_popescu: well obviously everything will be surrounded by
a bunch of tims.
BingoBoingo: Mining,
a bond? Twas before I really started taking notes.
fluffypony: it's different when you're out there and active and not staring at
a screen all day
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i'm curious what you'd be like if there was no coffee for
a week or two.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: maximizing the market is not
a valid goal of economics any more than maximizing body weight is not
a valid goal of medicine. << lulz
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, left handle
a comment blasting him about his "baseline expectation" bs.
mircea_popescu: "This was well-crafted malware that antivirus programs couldn't detect. It was

a spectrum analyzer providing light for reading :(
mircea_popescu: and curiosity is
a cognate of intelligence. especially in women
mircea_popescu: but i don't believe you'll ever be able to run
a place where drugs (the actual sort) are legal, for purely economic reasons.
mircea_popescu: because somehow they've decided "data" is
a substance, it's no longer fit for the thinking man to generate data, and so no more of things like the excellent field reports people like saussure and levi-strauss dedicated their lives to

a scary Mexican gangsta-rap group end up on one of TV's hottest shows? | The Music Mix | EW.com
