mircea_popescu: so let me get this straight, this coin produces about 3/4 of the bitcoins of
a day, and they're supposedly worth 1 bitcent each ?
benkay: had
a great interaction with
a human today at
a bbq: "what do you think of all of the other coins?" "you mean the forks of the bitcoin reference implementation with various knobs diddled?" "are they--" "yes."
benkay:
a new language for your new coin
assbot: Darkcoin fails to rise after latest hardfork failure | City
A.M.
mircea_popescu: in case you didn't know this... apparently darkcoin is
a big deal. o.O
mircea_popescu: Is there any community out there, that despite the price crashes and road-bumps, stick together in such
a strong manner, getting stronger by the day?"
dub: i dont have
a day job
mircea_popescu: dub: if you actually had
a use for this level of protection you could trviially roll your own, would not trust anyone else to do so anyway, and be one of 7 people alive << your summary is approved. when do you quit your dayjob to do ba logs summary full time ?
mircea_popescu: "However, I'm lucky enough to not have to have that worry/fear of my government because I don't involve myself with
a number of business that one can choose to be involved in around BTC"
BayAreaCoins: mike_c Which stake are you talking about though, I generally have
a number of them poking me :P
BayAreaCoins: asciilifeform lets say you are in SF and you're reading
a book in the Sci-Fi section... lol haha :P no but really.
BayAreaCoins: dub That was
a extreme event that was brought up by asciilifeform. I would venture to say that there is
a market for people who are looking for privacy and the ability to store value where they want in the world.
dub: if you actually had
a use for this level of protection you could trviially roll your own, would not trust anyone else to do so anyway, and be one of 7 people alive
dub: theres the small issue of there being no market at all for such
a service
BayAreaCoins: I have to be frank with you... this is more for people who are looking to get hit by some government entity such as PDR. I do keep my paper wallets in banks between California and Arkansas. However, I'm lucky enough to not have to have that worry/fear of my government because I don't involve myself with
a number of business that one can choose to be involved in around BTC
BayAreaCoins: Well first off it will be
a bucket of water and
a pillow case :)
BayAreaCoins: I believe
a lack of laws will protect potential customers.
BayAreaCoins: Not that I've seen any confirmed cases of that, but it is
a thought.
BayAreaCoins: Sadly you are going to have child labor in everything... all the way from making shoes to now mining. I don't think it can be avoided, but I think the game is swinging more toward bots... which obviously doesn't matter bot or not if it is
a 5 year old running it.
BayAreaCoins: I was talking about that human mine able one. Hopefully it doesn't turn into Child Slavery Sweatshop coin :) I'm still waiting for Klu Klux Koin because I know it will get in
a lot of peoples feelings :D
BayAreaCoins: Thank you kindly, I'm getting it worked out. Want
a bitcent ;) lol
nam-shub_: probably the worst time to ask, but what's
a two bedroom apartment cost there mp?
benkay: <BayAreaCoins> haha that's the last time you'll have to do that man :) Thanks :P you got
a bitcoin address for donations :P // 'course, you'll have to get rated, too.
BayAreaCoins: Who wants to make $10
a hour anyways...*rolls eyes ungratefully* :D
BayAreaCoins: What was your main bag that got you to that point of first retirement? I'm not trying to Q and
A your ass of course
mircea_popescu: prior to that i ran romania's most read blog,
a local digg like service (reddit wasn't really all that big yet).
BayAreaCoins: I believe she takes BTC and there are
a few others too
BayAreaCoins: haha is that
a reference to the nickle thing too ;)
BayAreaCoins: I had
a venture last year that made like $200,000
a nickle at
a time rofl
BayAreaCoins: haha that's the last time you'll have to do that man :) Thanks :P you got
a bitcoin address for donations :P
BayAreaCoins: So you would rely 100% on your ability to shoot. I would think if I was put in that situation I would want to have
a place to drop them off in case I got hit during the fire fight... that way I could leave the coins to my family or what not (like setting up
a Trust)
BayAreaCoins: Well I suppose that is why I stumbled though here again to pick your head
a bit. If you knew someone was coming to get you right now and they were going to tear your house down brick by brick searching it... where would you put your coins? (feel free to tell me to fuck off)
BayAreaCoins: I did
a lot of talking to billy prior to Doge-dice launch
BayAreaCoins: hmmm da fux... they close down shop I guess? I saw their little video leak.. I had
a good chuck over that. Jackson is absolutely horrible to work with.... I like Billy
a fuck of
a lot more.
BayAreaCoins: However I can assure you there are
a number of us who aren't :) Don't get too down on good ole 'Murica ;)
BayAreaCoins: I think
a lot of them are happy with being poor... which is disgusting.
BayAreaCoins: Obviously there is
a decent demand for offshore banking, but I don't know
a single one that I can set up within 10minutes from the comfort of my house and have it funded as well. Sure you can afford the flight, but you'll get laughed out of the bank.
BayAreaCoins: I would make the argument that there is
a C. This would be middle class people who have
a bank balance >250,000 (which is what FDIC insurance here in this country) but less than $1,500,000. I think that it would be more pointed towards them because I think people between those #'s are still
a bit timid.
BayAreaCoins: I totally agree about the two people thing. Group
a = Myself and group B = potential customers?
BayAreaCoins: mircea_popescu I've already contacted
a few firms and they of course want to be involved for the same reason as any other law firms wants to be involved with anything.. Money. I think that group B would want to privately be involved with group
A because it is better than having some FEDs come grab your lap top while you are reading in the Sci-Fi section
mircea_popescu: now why would
a lawyer want to be involved with group
A, and why would group B want to share with
a lawyer ?
mircea_popescu: you seem to think "people" is
a thing. "people" is not
a thing, but at least two : the people who don't matter, and the people who, if they feel like it, fly over here, open
a bank box and bang
a coupla hotties the same night
BayAreaCoins: I think
a number of people in my country (America) are very very interested about how to bank "off shore", but they don't have the proper contacts. I believe if this was set up it would give people the ability to go off shore within
a hour of deciding they wanted to (by using btc, also the extra $ flowing in isn't going to kill any of us either)
mircea_popescu: "I am
a 23 yr M, diagnosed Bi-Polar:NoS with
a history of Mixed States. Or, in other words, I faily to cope with my body's confusion on being manic and depressed at the same time, causing an abundance of frustration that turns to almost uncontrollable anger. I currently live with my fiancee, we are to be married this year, at the end of September, I'm on permanent disability for
a variety of mental incapacitates."
assbot:
A place for Depressed shibes to chat about things and vent
BayAreaCoins: Basically exactly what it sounds like. Off shore paper wallets with
a network of trusted hedge fund attorneys around the world that are willing to hold paper wallets for clients within countries that have good privacy laws. Therefore giving the world the ability to chose which country they store their coins in safely.
BayAreaCoins: I'm not 100% sure, but I'm going to go
a head and pass that question along as well because I'd be interest in the response. Shits n giggles ya know
BayAreaCoins: It has
a long way to go though and some problems to be address
BayAreaCoins: Only thing that is semi tough is the need for HUC to start out mining HUC. Which is
a good thing too at the same time.
mike_c: "
a human mine-able crypto currency" you know some people around here think BTC is human mineable.
BayAreaCoins: What are you guys investing in BTC wise as of late? Losing JD has me
a bit lost on the BTC investment side. Although, I'm balls deep in
a alt I think has
a good chance.
BayAreaCoins: mircea_popescu No inventor and no employees that is always
a plus. It'll be interesting needless to say. Our ebay lister is stacked with 24,000 items, but getting ebay to up our limits is
a bit of
a pain in the ass.
BayAreaCoins: Can't live life in fear of failure or you'll never take the chance you need to succeed. If I had
a nickle for every time I fucked up... I'd have far more nickles than I do now ;)
mike_c: good luck, it's
a crowded field. got
a website up?
BayAreaCoins: mircea_popescu at
a automated drop shipping company? Yes it is
gribble: Error: "define" is not
a valid command.
BayAreaCoins: mike_c No need for warehouses or partnerships to start out with. Basically what the company is going to do is relist items with
a very small price bump and automate everything. We have been testing with 200 items for the past little bit and are seeing
a good chunk of volume moving. I guess my main concern is that the shippers do their job because refunds are going to be
a total and complete pain in the ass.
BayAreaCoins: mike_c
A automated drop shipping company and then
a alt that I think is semi interesting (Huntercoin)
BayAreaCoins: I think once all of it comes together... well it will come together :P Just kind of selling
a gun or two while I wait. I need
a new bag because I'm sorta bored with everything atm.. Life :D
mircea_popescu: Given the recent security breaches and reliability issues experienced by other markets, we felt the community deserved better. If virtual currencies are to truly take off, trustworthy infrastructure is
a prerequisite."
assbot: Bitcointa.lk: the Bitcointalk community with
a proper forum | Bitcointa.lk
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell hanbot remember the guy that sent
a complaint to spanish police (where he was at the time being an romanian temp worker) that mtgox won't send him proof of its id ? he's dead.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if there isn't
a face there to stop your fist, your arm has to do it. and it's not really equipped or designed for such.
