decimation: for a few days I entertained the idea of learning his crazy rune language
decimation: yeah I saw that. I think you profited on the deal
peterl: mircea_popescu: having somebody actively market making for the fund should also encourage lively trading, I think
asciilifeform: i sold me moldboat for scrap iron, but still check on them occasionally.
mircea_popescu: peterl given that theres so much info available about how the various pcs are doing, i imagine there should be some lively trading going on
asciilifeform: decimation: i'm a believer in 'propaganda by the deed'
decimation: I think you are doing more about the situation than most
artifexd: The monthly fee bothered me until I realized that it would take over 130 years for that fee to equal the MPEx entry fee.
asciilifeform: decimation: i sorta got bored with the moldbugista folks
decimation: he is among the most impressive bloggers I have read
decimation: ascii did you evern meet that "nydwracu" guy in your DC travels? I think he went to college park
peterl: I use coinbr
decimation: heh I wish I could have met him in person. perhaps one day I shall
decimation: still; why would someone like yubikey watch bob and say "I want me some of that?"
decimation: I guess if bob can convince people that his goat orgy is a secure bridge, then he's good to go
decimation: asciilifeform: I think the RSA keyfob hack demonstrates your point about yubikey perfectly
pankkake: while I should know that simple rule, it just doesn't stick
pankkake: I'm bad with s. even in French
mircea_popescu: i like the part where you actually use the rfc ~may~ etc conventions
mircea_popescu: mikaeldice: I could see a bitcoin casino with guest webcam models doing well << not a half bad idea.
gribble: What do you think I am, a shell?
pankkake: I only know about crypto-fascism
benkay: i dunno why anyone would be going for mcdonald's when there are mircea_popescu's out there
mikaeldice: I could see a bitcoin casino with guest webcam models doing well
mikaeldice: I wonder why he needs a whole franchise when a single site would be sufficient..
kakobrekla: >>The Mcdonalds of webcam based adult entertainment is my goal.. And I will keep working at it until I achieve it!
moiety: omg look what i just saw!! Here he is again! http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/files/2012/12/baby-turtle-eats-strawberry1.jpg
fluffypony: and with that I go sleep
BingoBoingo: I throw that out, because the storm sirens are engaged.
benkay: lol now she's complaining about the fact that i stole her beer
mircea_popescu: mikaeldice but the scams and incompetents aren't bitcoin corps. i mean it's like saying turbojet propulsion isn't used by model airplanes. sure.
thestringpuller: why do people constantly want to do things differently than the way things are done i have no idea. << like when people try to put the square block into the circle hole?
mircea_popescu: why do people constantly want to do things differently than the way things are done i have no idea.
mikaeldice: I was thinking more of an open ledger which automatically updates with expenditures from preset addresses. The user adds a justification, maybe associates an expense account to it
mikaeldice: Thanks, mircea_popescu, I've read that post before and enjoyed it.
mikaeldice: I'd like to see bitcoin companies start using a more transparent accounting system that's more detailed than the blockchain. It wouldn't really cut down on fraud, but it might make the incompetent more noticeable and accountable.
moiety: i just realised i used later tell earlier probably wrongly because i was looking at the wrong part of the people list
gribble: alexsanjose was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 5 days, 19 hours, 12 minutes, and 36 seconds ago: <alexsanjose> if you come across in humans in Central America who have bitcoin gambling operations and they want to talk to a reporter, tell them i dont bite alexandra.alper@thomsonreuters.com
mikaeldice: Nothing new.. I've been wondering for a while if there is a better forum than bitcointalk, though.
moiety: i was shown those neokey things a while ago
moiety: i think you should send me some sauce so i can test this statement mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: artifexd: sadly, i'm otherwise occupied. but you are encouraged to do it yourself
artifexd: I'd be willing to mail it to you if that would be useful.
artifexd: asciilifeform: I have one that I'm willing to sacrifice to the cause but I have no idea how to do that.
mircea_popescu: i'm the grandmaster of white sauces.
thestringpuller: Ah I see.
moiety: fluffypony: aww! i wonder if they followed on land too!
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller actually i would imagine its accuracy is a linear function of the average length of noncircular paths.
fluffypony: BingoBoingo, moiety: http://i.imgur.com/mENwWpL.jpg
thestringpuller: well i've been doing gettrust on known scammers
mircea_popescu: this romanian party, was ruling party. a year or so ago i quit, and quite publicly told them to either bring me the head of the then-president or else there will be no fucking party.
thestringpuller: so web of trust I think gets more accurate over time
fluffypony: benkay: pretty much, I've never claimed to be beautiful
benkay: <fluffypony> I worked at this IT company, and there were these two cute sales girls (literally the only two decent looking people at the company) << including you?
fluffypony: http://i.imgur.com/c30kXfU.jpg
dub: oh yeah I think I read that after 24 hours travel
benkay: more btc bet on yes i mean
thestringpuller: I'm reading up on the march 21st logs, just wondering what came of the IRC interview.
mircea_popescu: i imagine if she did she'd have come back and dropped a line
mrstickball: I thought Romania was the poor man's Poland, which is the poor man's GDR
mrstickball: I see
jurov: i preferred not to ask, sent him straight to read trilema
mrstickball: I saw that he was looking at listing on Coin Brouse, but was unsure how that interaction worked
jurov: i'll give you his addy
fluffypony: I think I was death-0ver0rd on Dalnet for like a year
mircea_popescu: glad i asked.
mircea_popescu: lol o i c, fluffy pony is less gay. right. what'd you drink, paint thinner ?
mircea_popescu: don't wink at me, i don't twink that way
fluffypony: anyway, I thought fluffy horse "sounded gay"
fluffypony: I worked at this IT company, and there were these two cute sales girls (literally the only two decent looking people at the company)
fluffypony: ok so when I was young, maybe 22 or 23
fluffypony: oh I saw that in the log
pankkake: I usually solve problems when peeing
pankkake: that's actually why I don't mind long *comfortable* travel over short inconfortable
pankkake: I have had some productivity streaks while on the train
mircea_popescu: i know at least a dozen people who read trilema while travelling. catch up with a month's worth on an intercontinental flight
pankkake: fluffypony: I'll eventually make a script to put them on my ereader. maybe I'll read them all then
mircea_popescu: pankkake eh i wouldn't go as far as that
fluffypony: Namworld: I think the world will come to the end
Namworld: Returning the investment is not something that the forum can digest you say? So if I complete repaying all my lenders, all hell will break loose on the forum?
fluffypony: I normally have to gloss over Trilema posts 5 or 6 times before I remember what it was about
mircea_popescu: this i personally regard as a structural and significant improvement over berkshire.
mircea_popescu: anyway : because i actually included pc5 explicitly, the share actually has a clear mechanism to track nav pretty closely.
artifexd: Well. Crap. I hate asking questions when the answer is in black and white.
mircea_popescu: " It may pay a dividend during any period I determine this expedient, but there is no promise of monthly dividend (nor does such a thing make any sense whatsoever, for most companies)."
mircea_popescu: dividends will happen if there's no rational use of capital comensurate with historical gains, so if the thing makes ~10% pa for a while, and there's no way to beat that, i'd start distributing capital
mircea_popescu: today i learned Basenji is a sort of dog.
ozbot: Seedcoin Fund I Update: No GoCoin, What Next?
fluffypony: http://bitcoin-betting-guide.com/james-cannings-blog/seedcoin-fund-i-update-no-gocoin-what-next/
mike_c: i'm sure they will find someone willing to take it.
fluffypony: mike_c: I'd love to know what they're going to do since GoCoin rejected their investment
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> they got their mistakes out of the way with SF1. You need to jump on SF2, it's going to the moon. << i forget, what was the eventual return on that thing ?
artifexd: The code to run a yubikey server is open source so you, I, or anyone is welcome to swap out the key and run their own server.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> all of a sudden i'm struck by the notion that the only good withdrawal message is one gpg-signed by the withdrawing party. << welcome to... 2012 ?
mircea_popescu: artifexd> That may, or may not, invalidate the ability to use yubikey's servers though. I don't know. << afaik blowing their key does make it unable to use the servers, because you see, the true beauty of stupidty : they actually narrow the keyspace (significantly) to make their product vendor-lockedin
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> asciilifeform: i'm talking from a server end point, i don't have to keep user secret. just public key <<< see, there. that's the value proposition : it allows the operator to say "sorry, fuck you" to the user in terms that are socially acceptable,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> you gotta transport the secret to the user << did i wake up today in a parallel universe where public-key crypto was never invented ? << no, you woke up in a parallel universe where microsoft is still a business model.
fluffypony: I don't want to be responsible for a dead manul
