thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i can lend you 40000
kakobrekla: i watched a bunch of episodes of computer chronicles quite some time ago, i guess this kennas show will have a similar feel in 20 years or so. the main difference though is that cc was not ran by scammers but the opposite.
thestringpuller: I'll send you some crypto mail soon and we'll have a BTC game day.

MarieLynn: I look at AirBnB in Moscow and St-Petersburg and the places in St-P. are palacial and the stuff in Moscow is dinky... Wonder what it will be like.
mircea_popescu: if he starts doing jay leno and roger/cathylee i'll weep
mircea_popescu: MarieLynn thestringpuller i think there may be a strong difference based on location. airbnb may work a lot better outside of the us than inside.
BingoBoingo: dignork: well, I made the offer to some kid, but post or pm address
MarieLynn: I suck at IRC, educate me :)

mircea_popescu: tbh i was expecting something more along the lines of "wtf is a synthetic"

kakobrekla: i dunno, he speaks just not much here.
mircea_popescu: stoolies being what they are, i'll prolly hear about it before they actually accept it.
mircea_popescu: i am quite curious to hear what their parachute design will look like.
mircea_popescu: as i said a few times before, the other party can move it up to getting shot any time it feels ready
mircea_popescu: well that all depends, i guess. what's to keep you from cutting a square foot window in the tree ?
mircea_popescu: Namworld i can see that, yeah. there's nothing like "confusion" when the "confused" stands to make a buck from it.
SuchWow: I hang out in a large number of bitcoin and dogecoin related chans
Namworld: Plus you know a few places would scam people "We only owe you X BTC" and the generic moron would go "I knew it, BTC under 1 dollar by the end of the year."
SuchWow: Thanks, first I've heard of the chan :)
ozbot: Twitter / Mircea_Popescu: http://t.co/VLyAis0h7B I've ...
mircea_popescu: fluffypony lmao "chinese rules". i dunno dood, afaik the chinese are the most druggy whoring of the whole lot.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> living in usa, i admit i'm rather surprised that it is 2014 and i'm not yet forced to pay $500/mo to get something other than ArsebookNet << i think they're running way behind schedule.
mircea_popescu: and i can't catch up because you're all into explody talkmode
kakobrekla: i already gave her instructions
mircea_popescu: <MarieLynn> Before that I was a tour guide across North America, I started at 18. And a nanny too :) << now how do you figure that being a tour guide and a nanny transitions to providing leadership services for the world's most important project ?
mircea_popescu: i noticed that is how you must write everything about these things
mircea_popescu: i think you must wreite it like GLADIO
kakobrekla: ok i have no argument about that.
jborkl: well, I guess people really refernced spongebobs bestie too
mircea_popescu: jborkl i can and i do.
bounce: what'd be the most widely available stuff that does ssb? I'd expect 27mc. which, since there's lots of crap going on there anyway, wouldn't be a bad band to use
mircea_popescu: "The Bitcoin Emerging Market Fund (BBBB) initiated a position in the Neo & Bee Payment Network (Havelock: NEOBEE) on 03/07 buying 18 shares. The fund will continue to increase this position in the near term. I love the tangibility of NEOBEE’s assets. They have brick and mortar branches and will be providing vital financial services to an area that has traditionally been “under-banked.” I must note, however, there
bounce: shit, do fido or uucp over long-range bluetooth for all I care. with nodes hid in stones.
joecool: asciilifeform: yeah i knew that much, but could still use HV lines to go a distance, no?
mircea_popescu: i couldn't be better served.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you are mistaken in the following sense : i ruled, undisturbed, undisturbable, before the internet was invented.
bounce: bunch of those would be a convenient start. though I really would prefer a nice high gain omni on top.
asciilifeform: i dare to invoke the 'parachute theorem,' and say that the time to build comm infrastructure out of the real (or imagined) control of the crown is now, and not when it becomes a dire necessity.
joecool: i had a 30mi clear shot from my back deck of old house to an observation deck @ a state park
joecool: 20-30mi with 5GHZ line of sight is feasible, i used to live on a mountain and experimented with some pretty long links
asciilifeform: the point i wanted to make was that anything other than a very broad, military-style spread spectrum setup, with hop keys exchanged in person, is simply a beacon for the gasenwagen.
bounce: who's to know? I'm doing experiments with me mate
bounce: there's some interesting digital modulations about. if I ever get around to a HAM licence I'd probably still dump crypted data on the wire along with a readable call sign
asciilifeform: i, for one, have no copper phone line, and know no one who still does
pankkake: yeah, I know that story. copper stealing is a worldwide plague done by various people
BingoBoingo: Very good point. I supposed 2m because it is just so common.
asciilifeform: my understanding is that these, at least where i live, and in a number of other places, have given out - and never replaced
asciilifeform: for example - moving into new house, i discovered a dangling stub where the old 'bell atlantic' copper ought to be.
