decimation: quite so, bitcoin will enable
a whole cottage industry of tax-avoidance
mircea_popescu: but that is
a pike to drive in the hydra's eye later on, let's not anticipate.
mircea_popescu: it's going to lead to
a splendid conundrum down the road, because from the pov of bankruptcy/anti-asset protection legal practice, the preferred avenue would be to declar bitcoin wiorthless
decimation: this particular lawyer has 'discovered'
a new market for his clients
DreadKnight: decimation, bitcoin was mentioned like 3 times in
a futuristic tv-show called "Almost Human", key words being "black market" and "untraceable"
decimation: lol from your 'bitcoin lawyer' link: "Practically, there is no public record of Bitcoin purchases. Bitcoin wallets are similarly anonymous as Bitcoin balances and transactions are identified only by
a digital code with no link to person or place."
jborkl: Now that sounds like
a good time
mircea_popescu: jborkl you're probably confusing the bitcoin conference with whatever random derpage nobodies meeting in
a parking lot.
xanthyos: not
a fan of kinison. i think he's hacky
mircea_popescu: "There's
a kind of Olympic torch of extreme American comedy, which passed from Lenny Bruce, through Richard Pryor and Sam Kinison... to the late Bill Hicks. Stanhope is the latest, and equally brilliant, bearer."
mike_c: he's
a comic. they do anything for money.
jborkl: well, this will spawn
a whole new wave of hacking attempts
DreadKnight: now he talks money making strategies regarding his TCG while I haven't even seen
a single screenie
DreadKnight: made like
a few crowd funding campaigns, all failed; raised 300 bucks tops which he spend on
a crappy engine license and
a mocap animation pack (while not having proper characters)
DreadKnight: know
a 40 year old something that was supposed to be making
a MMO, spend about 10 years with 4 pc's in his face while having no real skill, trying to make others to work on his MMORPG for
a share of the profits xD finally gave up and now making
a trading card game using Unity3d
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight banks won't lend to peons. owners won't rent to deadbeats. sink low enough, it's either
a cheap motel or the park.
DreadKnight: I don't get people living in hotels; know
a dude around here that does that and works at
a supermarket, the math is not right
mircea_popescu: "I plan on recording
a music video with
a girl which will help me gain validity and virality."
mircea_popescu: "I am currently living in
a hotel room day to day and only have
a couple days left before I will be homeless. This is bad because once I am without
a place to live, it will only become harder to find one."
mircea_popescu: "i'm one of the like 50k us people that can tell
a story. i got my own website and seminars."
mircea_popescu: "Hi, my name is Sean Martin. I have been active on these forums for three years now. I am an aspiring guitarist that has an important message to share with the world and
a unique style and huge potential to make it big." << dank is incredibly fixated on his guitar stuff.
DreadKnight: true, I spend
a lot of time on computer usually, told you before, jack of all trades atm, hopefully will specialize and stick with one thing, but sounds boring
BigBitz: He's
a 3D modelling coder.
DreadKnight: I used to think I need to know
a lot of nerdy stuff and work hard to earn, then I started seeing people playing games and making way more with less work xD
BigBitz: DreadKnight it's
a state of mind :)
BigBitz: So I didn't amass much. Such
a shame, really, I first 'found' Bitcoin in Summer 2009... Sigh... what could have been mircea_popescu :)
BigBitz: I mined for about
a month...
mike_c: it doesn't seem he's just on
a bash mpex kick. he bashes everything.
mircea_popescu: not bothering to consider that if THAT'S how things worked it'd have been lights out
a long time ago.
fluffypony: every time it makes me want to stab him
a little more
mike_c: who cares semantics? call it
a membership.
fluffypony: so there you go, there's
a limited amount
fluffypony: "
A seat would mean there are
a limited amount and you can sell your own seat. On mpex you can buy
a "seat" and sell unlimited seats to other naive investonomers."
pankkake: the thread lacks
a funny factor
fluffypony: every time I try and have
a rational discussion with Jimmothy I want to stab him in the face.
gribble: dotcoin was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 12 weeks, 5 days, 18 hours, 18 minutes, and 5 seconds ago: <dotcoin> if you see only 80k tomorrow on sale means 20k are sold you need
a calculator for that
mircea_popescu: that didn't look like
a wp hack, incidentally. they lost root.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, when my wordpress got hacked, I didn't get such
a nice page left in place T_T
DreadKnight: got
a medium range tablet and it's still crappy thing compared to
a pc
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, really find that way stupid as well; wasn't very excited about steam coming to linux in the first place, but maybe someday SteamOS consoles will be popular, like OUYA was somewhat expected, but until then, steam is an extra layer, just to get more ads and see
a ton of "your friend is not playing dota2"
moiety: It's been three months. It's been extremely quiet for the past two. I did say at the time, should we not do
a month or three to see how it went is what i mean mircea_popescu.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight yeah solforge is one of these tablet/steam only types of things.
a lot of people are (stupidly) going that way these days.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell moiety unsure what to do with the phone line? << iirc it was prepaid for
a year, did
a btc's worth of call answering run out already ?
moiety: ;; later tell mircea_popescu i didn't talk to them, it was
a message left. unsure what to do with the phone line?
assbot: The Five Biggest Threats Facing CoinDesk and Anyone Who Reads It | Contravex:
A blog by Pete Dushenski
BigBitz: that made me laugh,
a lot.
pete_dushenski: where he famously went on
a weeklong radio silence vacation right then bc.info was getting haxxored the hardest
pete_dushenski: he also finagled his way into
a cto positions at blockchain.info
pete_dushenski: he was at the right place at the right time to lead
a bunch of redditards to their doom
pete_dushenski: AndreasMAntonopoulos @aantonop "I’ve been asked to appear as
a witness to present information and Q&
A at
a Canadian Senate hearing on Bitcoin. Should I say yes or not?"
pete_dushenski: so pgp is trojan, hushmail is some flavoured thing from
a bathroom vending machine
pete_dushenski: ok,
a really cheap condom that is highly likely to break
mike_c: inb4 women who want
a baby!
assbot: Democracy vs. Aristocracy | Contravex:
A blog by Pete Dushenski
BingoBoingo: Pretty soon there are going to be all these new public keys and no idea if the person you are mailing to is just letting Yahoo of
a JS plugin do the decryption
BingoBoingo: Well, PGP as
a browser plugin seems horrid.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: and just as i was setting up
a new @yahoo email account ;)
decimation: the netagio exchange is affiliated with goldmoney (is
a spinoff) which has
a good rep for gold trading, as far as I know
mike_c: BingoBoingo: that girl's
a worker. good for her.
chetty: <mike_c> wasn't there
a guy in here doing the first-best-greatest UK btc exchange?// at least 3 times
mike_c: wasn't there
a guy in here doing the first-best-greatest UK btc exchange?
decimation: apparently the Netagio exchange pays
a 0.1% rebate per trade if they are out-of-the-money, to encourage liquidity. In-the-money trades are charged 0.5% fee
davout: i'll add
a mention about assymetric crypto
pankkake: Bitcoin is an open protocol for online decentralized transactions. In the Bitcoin P2P network, there are transaction processors (nodes called "minors") and nodes that perform transactions using
a wallet. Everyone can be an auditor ("minor") and everyone can send and receive bitcoins, without necessarily being
a "minor".
thickasthieves: <+mircea_popescu>
https://dribbble.com/hemant_gupta99 prolly not this guy, but... dribble ?! /// you might have some respect for dribbble.com, I forget the whole story by now, but it was started by an elitist graphic designer as an invite-only community meant to prioritize quality. Sorta like
a WoTty deviant art. I havent followed it for years tho...
DreadKnight: had
a feeling something good will come out of that screenie :D
DreadKnight: <mircea_popescu> maybe, but i was kinda planning on eulora having an in-game card game, in the style of arcomage in mm6/7 <-- well, I'm not making
a MMORPG, so no direct competition xD plus I already have the combat system for my project in place
chetty: well its early alpha but there is
a server running and we have channel here #eulora
DreadKnight: chetty, oh; I don't know much about it though, seems
a bit underground atm
DreadKnight: ;;later tell mircea_popescu feel free to link me to that blog you said it needs translated; taking
a look at solforge atm, I'm not too much into card games, but it has
a very nice website at least :) seems the game was crowd funded
DreadKnight: by Jason Jute, who does
a lot of Wizards of the Coast cards
DreadKnight: regarding listing something on MPEx etc, only the IPO brings in money overall, so would rather buy part of the stocks myself for cheap and sell them later? or advertise the IPO to
a lot of people?
BingoBoingo: Maybe if .lk guy show up again we can see if he'll put
a bow on that package
mircea_popescu: lmao that guy is going to be so much fun in
a decade or so. i r hope someone's saving jjmothy's derpage, just in case he goes all goat later on
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight do they seem to be making 10 bux
a day yet ?
mircea_popescu: "WoT is
a gimmick just like GPG. 99.9% of bitcoin businesses don't take it seriously." o the win in that. lmao.
