mircea_popescu: "I was flattered by his interest, so I thought it over. That is, I indulged in what young men frequently mistake for thought. In imagination, I saw my name over the door and myself in a fine glass office looking out and watching clerks taking in money. I had, in anticipation, the thrill of buying one store after another and going from town to town on tours of inspection. I tickled my fancy with the idea of coming back

mircea_popescu: meanwhile i ignored him so the point is moot.
mircea_popescu: i was trying to evaluate whether the guy should be salvaged or i should just ignore him.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: by your own example, you should ask for more information with a purpose - "I am considering buying a used car from Moe. I see that you have rated him in the past. How did that go ?"
mrstickball: admittedly, its been a few months since I dealt with WoT and gribble to re-auth
mircea_popescu: but ... i just did contact you for more info.
mrstickball: if you're asking me, yes. I never requested ratings by anyone I've done trades with
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I have, and I don't see how my rating excludes anyone contacting me for more info?
mrstickball: mircea_popescu: my company is a known quantity. So I guess you should ask specific questions of me
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: ok so then be specific, because the rating is nowhere near a 10 and contains as much info as I can pack into that shortform
fluffypony: well if I must distill the rating into something more concise
fluffypony: I've had enough interactions with him to think him a trustworthy, reasonably competent fellow
fluffypony: wife is vegetarian, but I love me some ribs

fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I think that's his nick...busterroni, like pepperoni
mircea_popescu: if the guy said he had terminal aids cancer he got from prostituting himself for nickles i'd suspect it.

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla a srsly ? i see.
fluffypony: I told him to check my WoT rating:-P
fluffypony: davout: he wanted to make sure I didn't change my mind in 60 days
fluffypony: so eventually I just got pissed and told him that if he even wanted to be peripherally involved in cryptocurrency he should learn that sending 5 doge doth not a contract make

fluffypony: so I told him he could have it if he asked nicely
fluffypony: so there's this sub-reddit called dogeillionaires, for dogecoin holders with over 1 mil dogecoin (1.2 BTC or so)...so I grabbed dogeillionaires.com, and the sub-reddit creator threw a tantrum because I'm cybersquatting and I'm making a power play (wtf)
