MarieLynn: I am really glad unpaid athletes are getting national attention for their cause. They get tuition but no time to study... dumb...
mike_c: i agree with naggum in a lot of ways, but i ended up in python instead of lisp. i was just writing a C module for python and it was a brutal reminder of much time and energy is spent making sure i didn't miss dereferencing something in some random error case that would cause a leak, etc.
kakobrekla: i guess i should watch that.
kakobrekla: no no nevermind i said that Apocalyptic .
MarieLynn: I have decades of project and staff management experience so I do not expect to work in bitcoin as a developer. Bitcoin needs leadership and guidance for its 22 year old employees!! I have lots of experience developing talent 19-25
MarieLynn: Difference is people will come to me without effort for fiat jobs but I have to wheel and deal like crazy for bitcoins with 22 year olds... it's not the same market.
MarieLynn: I am still working fiat contracts.
MarieLynn: I need the money dude I mistakenly thought that going into bitcoin would get me bitcoins... like more than 1 LOL
ThickAsThieves: i think bitcoins are just millions of satoshis in disguise
MarieLynn: For me it's hard to know, there is always a fricking bitcoin dip right after I get paid!!
MarieLynn: It goes with a feature article I am writing about a brain wallet we are trying to decrypt right now
kakobrekla: golden turdmeister is what i see.
MarieLynn: I made a t-shirt
mike_c: pankkake: i know. the thought process of whoever wrote those.. it's painful to think about.
mike_c: tsk tsk kakobrekla. http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1755239/thumbs/o-YOU-DONT-SAY-570.jpg?2
pankkake: I wouln't be considered old, I don't really like being old, but I feel old
ThickAsThieves: well you guys can blog about superiority, pankakke about inferiority, and i'll take ulteriority
pankkake: I just want to rotate it for some reason
pankkake: I thought your technique was to drown in words
mircea_popescu: but I try to make my statements harder to contradict while keeping them absurd enough
ozbot: Yo #bitcoin-assets, I put contrarianism in your contrarianism | pankkake
mircea_popescu: http://pankkake.headfucking.net/2014/05/02/yo-bitcoin-assets-i-put-contrarianism-in-your-contrarianism/ << here's pancake trying to rebrand being a pussy as being a gadfly.
MarieLynn: Mircea, thanks for the Tweet. I used to buy a lot of art from Romania, I kept the cute export papers in French :)
kakobrekla: i was accused of same, then told pussies have a big heart. so go with that.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if keeping both hands on kbd'd help
mircea_popescu: everybody fucking types faster than i can
pankkake: I try to make my statements harder to contradict while keeping them provocative enough
MarieLynn: Mircea I've been succeeding at failing rather LOL :)
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> if the second ones get something out of the company, even at the expense of the firsts, I'd be happy << need a company first.
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> MarieLynn: unfortunately I'm a poor C developer << how da heck are you poor now.
pankkake: I'd think b-a has a higher female ratio than most bitcoin channels
thestringpuller: i'm sure mircea_popescu will be pleased
MarieLynn: I am back
pankkake: and by expense I mean that when the first ones sue, there will be nothing left, not that they would have gotten anything by playing nice
pankkake: if the second ones get something out of the company, even at the expense of the firsts, I'd be happy
pankkake: I learned truly nothing by altcoining. My code even made GCC emit warnings and I didn't care
fluffypony: I'm much better at being an A to all the Ds on the forum
fluffypony: MarieLynn: unfortunately I'm a poor C developer
MarieLynn: I am sure there are applications for our concept coin but so far it's just a surrealist coin R&D experiment.
pankkake: I made a coin that no exchange touched
MarieLynn: Our coin is going to be so unique, I am not even sure exchanges will touch it with a ten foot pole... Will be interesting
MarieLynn: Well... There are useful alt coins or coins that have a very specific niche, I believe in those but the coingen copy paste alt coins is like vomit
MarieLynn: I will look at it seriously promise. It's my self-imposed job to figure out all this
MarieLynn: TaT, I will add it to my database. There are almost 700 coins in my friggin database.
MarieLynn: I am launching my own altcoin soon BTW
MarieLynn: I invented SEO too, just so we are on the same page LOL
MarieLynn: Okay, I made my way through this WOT thingy !
Apocalyptic: MarieLynn, everytime i read your nick it reminds me of Merrill Lynch
MarieLynn: I used to compose/compile the facebook by hand and send it through snail mail
MarieLynn: Ozbot we are soulmates I guess
MarieLynn: These are entries from my project files :) I just imported those they are not yet correctly formatted.
MarieLynn: Well awesome for her. When I was 20 I had to compase the facebook and photocopy it and send it through the regular mail :)
pankkake: MarieLynn: you're missing the last step, decrypting the OTP, I guess
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i hate accents and shit. i write romanian without too
MarieLynn: I want to join the WOT but I cannot find my long form id, it's in the friggin UBUNTU key server.
pankkake: speaking of passwords, I'm slowly moving towards requiring more than a password everywhere to access my data
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> between Apocalyptic, pankkake, davout, and now MarieLynn (and who knows who else) I feel at such a disadvantage for not speaking French << nubbins.
pankkake: "I'm thinking the program would upload the GPG private key in case you ever lost it" that? lol
MarieLynn: I am 43, I have been developing for the Web since 1994
bitcoinpete: "I have 246 cos in my database of bitcoin-related businesses and I did not know about that group :) IRC is so vintage!" -MarieLynn <<246 cos, guaranteed none on mpex
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> surprising. perhaps because I know too much aspie polymaths :| << too many, frenchie. much is for french fries :D
fluffypony: MarieLynn: so since I live in South Africa I've also struggled with that - we only had 1 exchange (now 2) and their volumes are terrible. I can cash out from BitStamp to my bank account, but it is irritating. Two solutions I've found: 1. If it's bigger than $1k use BitPay. Sign up, get verified, and then invoice yourself when you need money paid out to your Ca bank account. 2. For smaller amounts, use person-to-person trading either on
bitcoinpete: fluffypony: i did a few german lesson on duolingo, orangensaft!
MarieLynn: Thanks for the CAVirtex thread I will rad carefully. But what are the issues other than ID verification woes?!
fluffypony: I'm too busy learning German so I can gossip with my mother-in-law about my wife ;)
MarieLynn: I want a bitcoin ATM card else my hopes of a bitcoin life are limited.
fluffypony: between Apocalyptic, pankkake, davout, and now MarieLynn (and who knows who else) I feel at such a disadvantage for not speaking French
MarieLynn: My boyfriend has a gun license and apparently that got him validated. I only have provincial health card with photo and passport and thats not good enough.é
MarieLynn: I am not a frequent user of IRC since 1997, sry
bitcoinpete: kakobrekla: i get it!
fluffypony: kakobrekla: somehow I don't think bitcoinpete is profiting off his blog ;)
MarieLynn: I am following the links ;)
MarieLynn: I currently work for Charlie Shrem but we are done with the urgent stuff. I want to continue doing what I do but for cool bitcoin startup.
MarieLynn: I am a lonely basement hacker. I build websites and online businesses.
MarieLynn: Now I am being transparent abotu how hard it is to get into bitcoin and stay housed!!
MarieLynn: I have been transparent about my life on the Internet for almost 24 years
pankkake: http://marie-lynn.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/do-all-the-things.jpg I think this is a good summary lol
pankkake: surprising. perhaps because I know too much aspie polymaths :|
fluffypony: (also I had to Google aspie polymath and file that under today's new learning:)
fluffypony: which is the case for mostly everyone here, I would imagine
fluffypony: so the "trying something new" post is the first post I've read on your blog
bitcoinpete: pankkake: ya, her situation sounds crummy. i invited her here so maybe she can do something in the future
bitcoinpete: " So far my experience of Bitcoin has been rather sad. I received my first Bitcoin paycheck a few months ago and promptly lost 30% of it due to the dip. I was then almost unable to extract it from Vault of Satoshi because they stopped sending out checks. I was able to pay for my membership to Bitcoin Alliance and Bitcoin Foundation at least. "
bitcoinpete: "For a few months, I have been developing business relationships with people in Bitcoin. As with any of the communities I have joined and thrived in the past 25 years, I am paying my dues in Bitcoin by doing some volounteer work."
bitcoinpete: Apocalyptic: hehe i'll take it
mircea_popescu: fluffypony no, i meant as a kid. they do this "o write a business plan" many places.
fluffypony: I always enjoyed it as a way to cement my thoughts
mircea_popescu: you know i never wrote one ?
ThickAsThieves: I kicked him off the project shortly after, and we nearly came to blows as roommates not long after that. I never got past writing the plan, thankfully.
ThickAsThieves: haha, cleaning old stuff and found a business plan i did to open a record store, i was pretty young obv: "XXXX XXXX will help me with of retail store's responsibilities. He is an extremely trusted friend and works very well with people. I whole-heartedly feel he is my best and favorite choice for the position."
gribble: cedivad was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 weeks, 5 days, 2 hours, 43 minutes, and 33 seconds ago: <cedivad> i actually have one, but i never really wrote about hashfast, bitcointa.lk or any other of my web-related experiences (i manage some really huge websites)...
gribble: I have not seen cevidad.
ThickAsThieves: i think it's cevidad
