a sextape ?
mircea_popescu: o which reminds me : funny notice in local quikmart : "esta terminantemente prohibido la venta

ThickAsThieves: I sincerely apologize. My comment was directed at the user who said that no one would want or need this. I cant get into specifics on what we are working on but here are
a few questions that spring into mind.
ThickAsThieves: "Instead of making
a "You guys just don't understand how big this is going to be" comment, why don't you tell us what your plans involve so we get
a better idea of what ethereum is? " ~smarter commenter
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller it's
a major feedstock for
a number of organic chemistry reactions.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu pigeons i grew up with
a one lb bottle of liquid ether in my chemistry lab. tru story. << do I dare ask what you did with said ether?
ThickAsThieves: ohnoes coindesk commenter has burned me: "I wish i could see your stupid face in about 10 years when almost every interaction you have with an electronic device relies on
a decentralized blockchain.. "we don't need smart contracts" haha are you for real!? "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: no shortage of possible experiments to choose from (e.g. Lamportian 67% theoretical maximum threshold << that's not the good part. the good part is
a better chaining methodology.
benkay: <mircea_popescu> benkay: or is that not actually
a text file? << hasn't been
a texrfile for all of two years. // cult of complexity
mircea_popescu: we will definitely have
a showdown over all this crap one of these days. and as to why james gibson & his merry scammer friends are stil on the street.
rithm: it's
a totally new alt-chain implementation
mircea_popescu: pigeons i grew up with
a one lb bottle of liquid ether in my chemistry lab. tru story.
pigeons: rithm: there is
a testnet that executes contracts, but themining alogirthm will change when they decide to make one up
rithm: there's not
a working implementation is there?
pigeons: is there
a built-in mechanism for these suckers, i mean people to trade their ether before/if the production network ever comes out?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: Sexy Saffron better not tell reddit she's an mp employee << that's okay, the only thing that's keeping derppit from
a collective headexploy is all the shit their collective dumbass doesn't know.
assbot: Bitcoin_Error_Log comments on Mircea Popescu offers
a short of Etherium coins up to 1 KiloBTC's worth at 5000 per BTC deliverable in 2015
mircea_popescu: this is the major advantage for the fucktarded socialists : once la revolucion starts it fucks up things so badly people want
a revolution.
mircea_popescu:
a) how the fuck are conservatives going to make electoral gains in populist times and b) who the fuck do the republicans even represent anymore, they've lost the teaparty.
rithm: looks neat if wasn't
a three letter honeypot
mircea_popescu: course no institutionals would have bought any anyway, but as
a point of principle.
mircea_popescu: (basically it ensures that no institutionals will be holding eth today for the purpose of satysfying
a mid or long term goal, is all)
mircea_popescu: it does allow you to go into
a technical short, by buying the future and selling your spot, if you hold any.
mircea_popescu: benkay: or is that not actually
a text file? << hasn't been
a texrfile for all of two years.
chetty: I am thinking fake bills are
a myth
mircea_popescu: pankkake: and in multiple bitcoin clients << i never bothered to get
a client myself so there's that.
chetty: yeah well people talk street price kinda need
a street :P
mircea_popescu: nubbins`:"i live in
a place with stylish young people, independent women, and those who care about our natural environment. it's
a real drag." << i can see it.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: mthreat: do yourself
a favor and stop drinking charbucks << talking to ex-us-mil guy, "i'll tell you what starbucks is. back in the force, they'd make these largish tanks of coffee at the crack of down, keep them on reheat, throw them out at night. starbucks is pretty much like
a drink out of that tank right before it getting thrown out. which is why they put all the cream and crap into it : gotta try and mas
fluffypony: which, from what I understand, is
a fork that lets you just pick up the æthereum equivalent of your BTC balance
assbot: [RFC] thereum:
a turing-complete coin distributed as per bitcoin's blockchain
assbot:
A bite of China English subtitles EP1 The Gift of the Nature - YouTube
benkay: i don't. it's
a phenomenal waste of human capital.
pankkake: because no one can fake
a facebook account
benkay: danielpbarron: the little reading i've done suggests that it's not
a namecoin killer, as that'd require...studying existing solutions and then doing it better. i've yet to find much support fot eh notion that the folks involved have done any research at all yet.
bitcoinpete: well i know that this is hirarious: "Big Trend Capital Investment (HASH): We are engaged as
a distributor of mining products and
a novel mining service. We primarily service retail customers through storefronts such as Amazon, EBay, and our own eStore at BuyAHash.com."
danielpbarron: bitcoinpete, i already have
a free app that does that sort of thing.. ended up deleting it because too many apps
bitcoinpete: "The app tells you how well you slept, or didn't, by giving you
a unique Sleep Score each night. You can begin to correlate interruptions in your sleep to external conditions and disturbances. You can play back key sound disturbances via the app to say “Ah, the garbage truck broke my sleep cycle at 3am. I didn’t even realize that.”
danielpbarron: weird al was the first artist I ever bought
a cd for; I heard his parodies before the originals
assbot: BPS Research Digest:
A self-fulfilling fallacy?
benkay: <benkay> actual programmers being few and far between. // not to imply anything about myself, ofc just
a derpy webapp guy
benkay: and they can't "let go of banana" and write
a real wallet, adding value to the ecosystem.
benkay: pankkake: yeah, i know what you're saying. this discussion hearkens back to
a thing
a wise old man harps on about how if you can have the patience to see past the next 6 months to two years you can make trades the rest of the market won't consider because they want 17%/annum *now*
benkay: i guess
a hedge against ether going somewhere isn't such
a bad idea, but it totally fails the good investments criteria.
benkay: to take
a long position
benkay: it's almost like you use
a real text editor too, bitcoinpete!
pankkake: I think that's incorrect too. it allows you to get
a better price if you're long, or MAYBE short it as long as you think it's won't go as low as 2.5x less
benkay: who's claiming that he's offering
a vehicle for others to short?
benkay: mp's going short, and offering to sell the thing to anyone at
a future date below what it's selling for now.
benkay: 70% odds it's
a naked short.
benkay: <pankkake> unfortunately there's no easy way to remove an address from bitcoin-qt // delete from wallet.dat? or is that not actually
a text file?
benkay: what, after all, is the point of
a "database" if one's not going to actually organize data in
a useful fashion within?
bitcoinpete: benkay: but for it being my first time on the wheel in
a close to 15 years, quite well :D
benkay: this rescanning the blockchain thing is
a total bitch, isn't it?
pankkake: I gave the private key to MP at
a time I wasn't sure I could even transfer the coins in
a timely manner
ThickAsThieves: "Before he started college, he spent most of his time reading and writing short stories. Three years later, he’s painfully insecure, worrying about things my public-educated friends don’t give
a second thought to, like the stigma of eating lunch alone and whether he’s “networking” enough. "
nubbins`: just like you're not
a reasonable adult worthy of dignity and respect... to them
nubbins`: "i live in
a place with stylish young people, independent women, and those who care about our natural environment. it's
a real drag."
nubbins`: you may be surprised to learn that coffee has
a taste
nubbins`: mthreat: do yourself
a favor and stop drinking charbucks
mircea_popescu: had some pretty good, not much of
a coffee drinker myself, but i mean... they prolly import their shit.
mircea_popescu: mthreat i've never paid more than about 25 or so for coffee myself, and never had
a bad cup yet.

fluffypony: Pheeva put
a TV ad out, it's actually kinda decent:
mthreat: nubbins`: that's
a lot of places
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: Sexy Saffron appears to be parlaying it up << the sign of
a smart girl. you only need give
a little push.
pankkake: and armory has
a "swipe" feature, too
mthreat: asciilifeform: I don't remember, maybe, but it sounded like
a relay...
mthreat: asciilifeform: the first IBM PC had some kind of relay, you could access it with the BASIC instruction "MOTOR ON" or "MOTOR OFF". If you turned it on and off in
a loop, it was
a buzzer.
mircea_popescu: i go through it one ;line at
a time and comment. sometimes this results in redundancy
