mjr_: not 1oz though, right?
mjr_: interesting guys, thanks
mjr_: and why perth mint lunars
mjr_: i would get double eagles or krug
mjr_: but point is, you can get more of the metal with bullion i would imagine
mjr_: john galt and ron paul, etc
mjr_: and i see a lot of bullshit coins anyway
mjr_: the reason i ask, is exactly you pay seignorage
mjr_: i mean, and maybe this is silly, but how hard would it be to just mint your own coins?
mjr_: since i got opposite answers
mjr_: do you guys think it is worth it to get gold that is minted? or is bullion better?
mjr_: no joke, guy sued for 4th amendment violation
mjr_: so still a little time while we get the 5th
mjr_: well, i think they are only up to taking away the first 4
mjr_: but also stego, in that they don't know there is secret info, you are hiding the secret info in other public info
mjr_: with two separate passwords, one opens the one "oh, you got me"
mjr_: encrypted drive, and secret encrypted drive
mjr_: truecrypt has a feature like that
mjr_: think mircea_popescu wrote about pictures with encoded btc info
mjr_: whoever mentioned stego is right
mjr_: so far, being key word
mjr_: with penalties for "forgetting" password
mjr_: they are trying to pressure people that are arrested to be forced to decrypt their drives
mjr_: and, the govt has been trying to get a legal equivalent to a $5 wrench
mjr_: i mean disk level is usually not great....because like xkcd said about the $5 wrench
mjr_: physical security is usually a lot easier to maintain
mjr_: my point was, if you have file level...the rest is mostly irrelevant, and that attack vector is IMO the smallest
mjr_: yes, i know, you would want to get disk level and then partition level and maybe even file level
mjr_: yo dawg, i heard you like encryption...
mjr_: so they would be encrypted either way
mjr_: you can have disk level, but you would still encrypt the files that are important
mjr_: well that is what i mean
mjr_: almost all were by someone gaining access to a machine that was already on
mjr_: almost none were by someone stealing a hard drive
mjr_: i would say that out of most bitcoin hacks
mjr_: which is by far the least of most people's worries
mjr_: if i remember correctly, drive level will only help you in the event someone gains physical access to your machine
mjr_: i mean, drive level encryption really barely helps you
mjr_: can't see how it would make a difference
mjr_: i personally like RAID-10's with 2 tb drives
mjr_: where you can partition
mjr_: makes a lot of sense for linux
mjr_: get a hybrid drive maybe
mjr_: and getting more so
mjr_: helium is actually expensive
mjr_: i could use ten moons worth of gold
mjr_: and each one of those collisions produces more gold than 10 moons
mjr_: the collisions of dead stars
mjr_: i also heard that they have found out where the universes gold comes from
mjr_: sea eploration company
mjr_: did you guys see those guys who found 36 million in silver?
mjr_: ah, now it makes sense
mjr_: but in general measuring dick size in a financial sense with a bunch of assholes online is just as valuable
mjr_: hahaha, i am joking
mjr_: but do you have 22 million?
mjr_: like equities, derivatives, etc
mjr_: bitcoin-assets refers to assets denominated in bitcoin
mjr_: i just found myself agreeing with max keiser
mjr_: ok, guys, this is really weird
mjr_: wow cog is getting killed now
mjr_: i mean that kind of stuff would be relatively easy to do...think robocop lol
mjr_: basically, i want to live in mr. lee's greater hong kong
mjr_: my point is that if people have a choice, they will pick the best option
mjr_: i do like seasteading, but its a tougher sell right now...and yes, i agree that startup cities will happen soon
mjr_: i give them 100% odds to do better than management of detroit, and over 50% to be successful in general
mjr_: using technology...i think that the tech guys should build a model city, with its own schools, health care, and public services (fire, police, etc)
mjr_: where public transit works and is nice, where its laid out in a way that makes sense, and designed well
mjr_: imagine a city built for the future
mjr_: anyways, this is just the mapping of reality onto Neal Stephenson stories (quite prescient author IMO)
mjr_: but amazon, google, and apple (to some extent) have proven that they can manage
mjr_: i think most cities in the US have proven that they suck at mgmt
mjr_: like any other failure, it was usually due to the mgmt, not the people or the situation
mjr_: anyways, just think about this...when anything fails, you can usually pick up stuff at fire sale prices
mjr_: keep all your salary
mjr_: you could own your house for literally under $500
