CheckDavid: I am sure that works for you.
CheckDavid: I see.
CheckDavid: Though I was thinking about starting collaboration in a more informal manner.
CheckDavid: I see.
CheckDavid: The contacts I generate are supposed to generate life time commissions
CheckDavid: I see.
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: really? I don't see why not
CheckDavid: I see fluffypony . actually make sense
fluffypony: CheckDavid: there is actually some precedent - I have a very good friend who moved here from Sweden to sell industrial cleaning equipment/supplies. he knows the cost of the product, and dependent on the size of the sale he can offer a discount to the client. his comm is based on the "profit" in that it's (sales - cost of sales), so he won't offer a discount on small sales but might determine it worthwhile reducing his comm on a larger sale
mircea_popescu: so i guess it's just an arbitrary different comission %
CheckDavid: Because I have never seen this kind of arrangement before
CheckDavid: I was just wondering if this is normal
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid i dunno what this is about ?!
fluffypony: I mean, I can understand if there's a fixed CoS and they're calling (CoS - Sales) "profit"
CheckDavid: I know chetty . that's why I found it weird
CheckDavid: I have never seen this

CheckDavid: I see. I will get it
CheckDavid: I will ask around for that
CheckDavid: Actually I'm doing business
CheckDavid: So I don't know much ways on how to do that with begging
CheckDavid: I am not doing much business in here or even trading a single satoshi around
CheckDavid: I have 0 trust :(
CheckDavid: Glad I asked then.
CheckDavid: I see.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don;t think the SOPS appreciate the seriousness of the problem. once people are actually willing to fight anyone you fucking name, to the death, your days are quite numbered.
moiety: i don't think they were planning dropping off manuls
moiety: I'm now imagining you in full wizard get up when in here

mircea_popescu: i wish the falk joined hiar.
kakobrekla: anyway i just thought it was rele-tarded enough to post.
mircea_popescu: well i hadn't, but if you insist
BingoBoingo: Amazing how in the US Steam plants are generally just a University thing and yet every on campus steam plant I've seen has been as boring as shit.
asciilifeform: (or maybe not. but i was damn sure that was in there)
kakobrekla: i have two low-mid series pcb manufacturers in 5km radius
asciilifeform: or i'd have to etch boards again, like when student.
asciilifeform: i lost interest in the project >1yr ago, when i realized that i won't be selling so much as 1 btc while i live here.
asciilifeform: 'i am bender, please insert girder.' ('futurama')
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: no shame in this. atm i'm doing things chinese robogirls won't do
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I prefer meat bot to describe my role in this
mircea_popescu: no robots. unlike the alex chick i'm an ACTUAL luddite. i use people.
mircea_popescu: i'll bet you you won't be able to guess all 4.
BingoBoingo: I'm kind of curious what other markets S.MPIF is going to venture into
jurov: soooo... should i stay up to add S.MPIF to coinbr or it can wait?
mike_c: i hate to turn down action, but feels like a tough wager. there are a lot of people i don't know.
mircea_popescu: mike_c actually i'll bet you a certain pizza you won't be able to guess all 4.
asciilifeform: phun phact. cryptoag still exists! and used by diplomats, etc. how to explain? only theory i can think of is that folks deliberately buy into the crapola - as a gesture of doggy submission to usa
gribble: Crypto AG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG>; Schneier on Security: NSA Backdoors in Crypto AG Ciphering ...: <https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/01/nsa_backdoors_i.html>; Crypto AG: <http://www.crypto.ch/>
mircea_popescu: so on the very good news front, i've already lined up 4 managers for s.mpif, whole shebang nominally worth a little north of 170 btc atm.
asciilifeform: (musings on the 'smart nsa' hypothesis, i know)
asciilifeform: nein, i'm still trying to wake up from me beautiful dreamz.
mircea_popescu: what i meant was strictly this, that your particular response matched what i may have accepted as proof that you indeed may know how you read it.
bounce: I don't think all communication is quite that lopsided, to be honest.
mircea_popescu: i believe that's really the model for all communication.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re your "you're reaching" comment, i told a story at teh conference that should prolly be on the record.
mircea_popescu: well i don't care, but he'd stop answering.
mircea_popescu: i might as well ask obama if he really meant i can keep my insurance.
bounce: I think you're reaching with that line of reasoning. I know how I read it and I disagree with how you read it. I will allow that a-priori notions on either side (or both) might have something to do with the interpretation.
bounce: that's not how I read it
mircea_popescu: anyway. i know what he's pretending he's trying to say, but that ain't at all what he;s saying. what he's saying is "resistence is futile", that's the message, and it's a ridiculous.
Apocalyptic: i don't believe it's the case nowadays
Apocalyptic: "best guess (last I heard) was that they're about five years ahead of the open community with the research" that may have been accurate a few years ago
bounce: actually, no. they employ a fsckton of mathematicians and they know everything that's in the open plus an unspecified amount we don't know about. best guess (last I heard) was that they're about five years ahead of the open community with the research
bounce: I'd buy into that.
asciilifeform: i could easily live in one, and not notice.
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: likewise...I just find myself way too unproductive for the first ~4 hours after waking up if I'm hanging like a little bitch
BingoBoingo: I wouldn't be where I am today without the ability to swiftly dispatch a hangover
BingoBoingo: I wonder who all is getting tapped for S.MPIF
asciilifeform: manticore?! i must still be on the german submarine
BingoBoingo: It was pretty soon after I took herbi's ATC and BTC
asciilifeform: i'm pretty certain the buggers will come straight to my door, come the hour.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you happen to have a loglink to where i propositioned you to do atc investment for me ?
jurov: i dun see any luddite journo interns asking about it
jurov: asciilifeform: i think nobody knows yet about cardano outside of our little circle
asciilifeform: once the word goes out << i'ma confused one here.
mircea_popescu: i think it uses the average
Naphex: now don't know the specifics. but i will foward the european payment systems thingie, and see what answer comes
Naphex: davout: that question i've asked. and thats the answer I received. That by Romanian law everything required we have to operate.
jurov: benkay: i'm offering some s.nsa shares at bargain ( 0.00029 )
Naphex: mircea_popescu: i will tomorrow :P
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Stepped on it with show. Also the mouse was actuall a mouse. Was skittering around the garage while I was trying to IRC and smoke cigarettes in it.
Naphex: also i'm paid to code the stuff up. and make sure it doesn't get owned.
Naphex: davout: thats as far as i know lol
davout: Naphex: tbh i like that answer much better than "all is fine we don't need one" :-)
davout: mircea_popescu Naphex i'm afraid lawyers don't have a lot of clues when dealing with bitcoin, iirc gox had baker & mc kenzie
