mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves that would then not be a btc atm. it would be a satanic usg attack on btc.
asciilifeform: as it is, it's just a terrorist infernal device that happens to dispense cash if treaded with kindness.
asciilifeform: naturally. if there's a 'you'
mircea_popescu: aml/kyc is a fundamental component of the current order. you can't annul it just like that.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: here's one gedanken-atm. it's inside a concrete block, cannot be repaired, etc. 50kg of thermite if disturbed. then, simply leave it somewhere reasonable. (network connectivity an exercise for alert reader.)
mircea_popescu: yes. in order to have a bitcoin atm, you must break aml/kyc.
asciilifeform: justusranvier: if it needs human pistoleros, it might as well be a box with a slave in it counting out cash
ThickAsThieves: would BRINKS or such serve a bitcoin ATM?
justusranvier: The Bitcoin ATM that's physically closest to me is in a store (Brave New Books) where most of the employees have concealed handgun permits.
cazalla: justusranvier, ATM's get stolen often here, steal a car, tie chain around ATM and off you go
ThickAsThieves: justusranvier you posit a bankless atm, so you have accepted the tasks of competing with better ATMs, no?
ThickAsThieves: ;;later tell justusranvier "Strictly speaking, a recycler is not essential. The ATM could remain unbanked by having a separate cash dispenser and cash acceptor, and this would mean that it would require manual servicing to move the cash from one receptacle to the other." Well if the point is to not use a bank, maybe take the time design machine that can spit out cash it receives itself?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform got a shovel ?
ThickAsThieves: <+asciilifeform> short it << outside my windows, a dead squirrel, buzzing with flies. how do i short it? /// the eternal question
cazalla: i knew before i scrolled there would be a token black kid on that new site
mircea_popescu: "Why We Need a Foundation" << wrong question. who's "we" and more importantly, why we don't need another scam run by vesseness ?
asciilifeform: short it << outside my windows, a dead squirrel, buzzing with flies. how do i short it?
ThickAsThieves: TBF has a new website https://bitcoinfoundation.org/
mircea_popescu: so i am sitting here with a glass of mineral water. it's a tall, about 12 oz glass. on it, some black bubbles as decor. i've had it for a while.
asciilifeform: g: 'show me the real budget.' a: 'you're asking too much. that's off limits to you.' ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: Researchers relied on a random sample of 7 million people with data reported to the credit bureaus in 2013 to estimate what share of the 220 million Americans with credit files have debts in collection.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves textbook exercise in how to devalue a market to the point you can no longer survive in it.
ThickAsThieves: "By comparison, one of BitPay’s biggest competitors here in the United States, Coinbase, offers a no-fee processing service for the first $1 million in bitcoin revenue. After that, a one percent fee is charged upon conversion from bitcoin to local currency."
mircea_popescu: btw asciilifeform, re our discussion yest. im toying with the idea of putting together a bulk of russian "dark whateveritwas" writings and having them translated.
mircea_popescu: a that's a good point.
mircea_popescu: "About 77 million Americans have a debt in collections, a new report finds."
ThickAsThieves: I have like a 900 credit score and had something in collections last year i think
ThickAsThieves: i will say, it's damn easy to have a random bill from some fucktarded scam or shitty company go to collections without people knowing it
mircea_popescu: assbot: A third of consumers with credit files had debts in collections last year - The Washington Post << clearly the economy's recovering o.O
mircea_popescu: http://bitbet.us/bet/994/btc-to-top-800-before-august/ well it was a good showing
mircea_popescu: cazalla said "well, that too but they were warned". to this i said, "a nod is as good as a wink". as in, it shouldn't really take much warning that when a cock is going in and out of your butt, you're being fucked.
artifexd: Is it a summoning spell?
assbot: A nod is as good as a wink
artifexd: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-07-2014#777781 << Had me quite confused until I read this: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/nod-is-as-good-as-a-wink.html ☝︎

moiety: "o a nice raised up rug/bed, thanks!" i reckon would be the response or "this one wont talk to me!"
moiety: if i were to write to a zoo do you think they would let me stuff one that died naturally?

cazalla: moiety, no set date but i want to within 18-24 months, we have a short list of places but i'll need to sell my unit, bubs is teething atm so makes it difficult for me to leave missus here on her own and find a place
cazalla: we were meant to go the day prior but it was cancelled due to bad weather, should've been a headsup for what was to come heh

cazalla: moiety, i lived with 2 other guys in a 2 bedroom unit when i was much younger, we turned the loungeroom into another bedroom as it had a door, was worth it at the time to save on rent but the cooking, cleaning is a pita when others don't rate it as highly as i do on list of things to do
BingoBoingo: Eh, maybe you could rent a box or something, The tenent tell you when they need out and until them you just lock them in?
moiety likes to wander freely - not a good thing to do with starngers inthe house

mircea_popescu: a warning's as good as a wink to a blind bat ☟︎
cazalla: fortunately the right people have a good amount of coins, can you imagine the likes of andreas with thousands
DreadKnight: "don't invest in btc, it's a bubble!" and after a while it showed a lot of stupid monkeys all like "I don't know how it works, but I sold x and y and invested it all into bitcoins" lol
DreadKnight: because bitcoin was on the tv news quite a few times around here at least
mircea_popescu: the point is not for some random fuckwits to "have a chance".
DreadKnight: I was considering ASICs as a "the rich get richer" sort of thing, but considering their utility/cost/risks, it's all good
DreadKnight: thought some people got into btc early and mined with cpu and gpu, now that's not useful; some of those people got rich and can easily afford lots of asics now to continue mining and make some more money, but they invested in some hardware which was not very usable for anything else and quite a risk, so it kinda forced bitcoin to be a non burstable bubble because of the hardware
mircea_popescu: that's silly. asics are a major building block in our power. the only reason we're still fighting today is that we had asics in time.

BingoBoingo: A lesson in Internet Etiquette #blogging http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/07/29/actual-internet-etiquette-trackbacks-and-spam/ … cc: @HashReport
mircea_popescu: specifically : an atm requires a fortress. we have not yet built the fortress. when we do, you will know we have, because i will kidnap a number of "world leaders" wives and daughters to be publicly raped there as to make the fucking point that in fact it IS a fortress. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: he's someone's something, which also neatly explains why they put one of the few dea agents with a functioning brain on the case, and spent so much time and effort on it.
