ThickAsThieves: when i read the forums i cant help but think some % is accepting these people as reality
ThickAsThieves: i just mean they want their ignorance validated
ThickAsThieves: it's just embarassing i the thougth of people taking it seriously compounds that
ThickAsThieves: for the same reason i cant enjoy Rush Limbaugh i think
ThickAsThieves: i cant gather that kind of joy from it
mircea_popescu: i use it as a sort of daytime sitcom
novusordo: and even then I just have automatic alerts to let me know when they post stuff
novusordo: the only thing I use the forum for nowadays is following updates from friedcat and the trezor fellows
pLambert: I think they only offered 3, she said she wouldn't do it for 35
mircea_popescu: which, from all the reviews i've read so far, is really very bad and useless pr doing me a huge disservice.
mircea_popescu: tho perhaps i should say him. that thread's basically reduced to one guy spazzing out and a bunch of people milking him for lulz.
mircea_popescu: lmao what have i become ;/
pLambert: At least I have my MPEx based investments to offset all the losses from other places :/
mircea_popescu: i don't see anything substantially wrong with your 1.4%
Apocalyptic: bc.i has been broken for some time
dexX7: i never saw something like this
dexX7: bc.i seems to be broken again.. a wallet with negative balance
ThickAsThieves: they did indeed conduct it as i guessed
ThickAsThieves: maybe i should enlist my wife then
ThickAsThieves: i want to convince myself of such
ThickAsThieves: one idea would be much easier to map out, the other less so, but i feel the process would force true determination
ThickAsThieves: what i'm truly setting out to do, is determine whether two of my ideas can really work
mircea_popescu: (and before anyone lays into me, i'm not really claiming dreaming is unstructured, lay off)
ThickAsThieves: i was a layout guy at the paper, thrown into editing some cuz i was not so dumb
mircea_popescu: i thought you were in journalism ?
ThickAsThieves: i think
mircea_popescu: i want a trophy for this.
mircea_popescu: so am i getting this straight, teh forum is accusing me of backhandedly and undergroundedly manipulating everything while petting my cat and rolling my evil mustachios
nubbins`: now, i've gotta get to the post office before this 30cm of freezing rain shows up
nubbins`: well i mean "open call for judges" certainly isn't the way to find 'em
mircea_popescu: no, i'm not sidestepping it lmao.
mircea_popescu: i just got better flir vision than you'd expect.
nubbins`: ehhh, for someone who goes on about the sham fiat courts so much, i'm more than a bit surprised you gave up on the idea after the first bump in the road
bitcoinpete: Although some of you've read my latest blog post, I'm going to leave it here quietly for those who haven't:
mircea_popescu: well, i see not problem with it, but it ain't convincing me.
nubbins`: i'm not proposing i know all the alternatives, i'm simply proposing one alternative that avoids the pitfalls of the first failure
nubbins`: i have yet to see anything to the contrary aside from some hand-waving about absolutes and subjectivity
nubbins`: sure, but the whole thing i was getting at is that the fee structure was flawed from the start, which is why the experiment failed
mircea_popescu: i dun see why exactly you imagine this is personal in any sense. the court as it was failed to do so, that's objective not subjective.
asciilifeform: i confess that i wonder when i too will be featured on the 'secret soldier-shills of satanix mpex' lists the lamers are so fond of now.
ThickAsThieves: "Free" being a red flag i might be too sensitive to
ThickAsThieves: i ignored it at first cuz home page was spammy looking
ThickAsThieves: anyone happen to know the way to look up a UK business license, ive done it before but now i cant recall how
pankkake: anyway, I just wonder how it would turn out when there are no nicknames. maybe everyone will be accused of being MP
pankkake: yes, but I can't guess if it looks for tags or whatever, nor which
mircea_popescu: pulls for tumblr i imagine
pankkake: I still wonder how .bait works
mircea_popescu: i meant data-wise
mircea_popescu: i ran a chan forever, you can have the backup
pankkake: (or other worse things to do I can't avoid)
mircea_popescu: up until yest we had this gentleman agreement of sorts that they don't delete the girl's posts and i look the other way on the endless stupid shit they did.
pankkake: I'm still thinking of doing a 4chan-for-bitcoin but I have other better things to do!
mircea_popescu: VanCleef she's not better informed than i am you know. she'd just say, "what mp said" all the time.
VanCleef: i hate thermos
mircea_popescu: pankkake i seriously suggest everyone move.
Neil: It's a little over 23 MB of data I think
Neil: Geez. I've written the beginnings of a bitcoin network node. It downloads and validates all 293400 block headers in 16.544 seconds.
chetty: I'm sure they will keep trying
asciilifeform: they might be a little wet. but i'd be surprised if he doesn't try everything potentially flammable to see what can be burned next.
mircea_popescu: i guess it's better than plan c, "the daisies did it, man!"
asciilifeform: soviet tale - one drunken idiot tells another, 'i was at this party, and this guy must've been a serious contraband hero, he's loaded - i stumbled around, looking for the throne, and found a little bathroom with golden toilet!' - other: 'fucktard, so it was you who took a shit in the saxophone!'
novusordo: i was still talking about the bullet
VanCleef: i was at a party and shat in someones bong once
mircea_popescu: and i assure you had mishima had a better candidate available, he'd have picked that one.
mircea_popescu: they didn't have teh... i dunno how to call it, the endometrium say.
mircea_popescu: i really dislike that type, too. and especially their women.
ThickAsThieves: i wonder if their penises will evolve to clits over time if it keeps up
ThickAsThieves: ok i remember now
ThickAsThieves: i can however see how an institutionally inflationary economy going deflationary could be painful
ThickAsThieves: i do not
ThickAsThieves: i guess it would affect debtors
mircea_popescu: i did ?
Mats_cd03: i need wot rating to edit the wiki :(
mircea_popescu: joecool now that's pretty cool! i had forgotten all about ;;events
ThickAsThieves: how do you enable 'enforce' of nicks? i'm registered in nickserv, is that how?
mircea_popescu: terribly weak, i bet. didn't they pretty much take over and end of story ?
VanCleef: speaking of media propaganda the funnest ones i seen was yesterday or the day before, but all american media groups were saying putin called obama about ukraine because putin is weak and looking for an exit
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/TRJRSgf.jpg << ahaha this is beyond cute.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'll address this deficiency
mircea_popescu: artifexd i know about you. i was talking to him tho :p
artifexd: I was here. Lurking. Watching it live. I just stayed silent because I had nothing useful to add. I did miss the "dank bank" comment.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: i don't think borrowing and repaying is a particularly good way of building trust. < it's awful really, more likely to diminish the trust of the rater than to improve that of the rate'ed.
dexX7: dirt_: i think no one knows at this point
dirt_: I thought it was odd too. Mixing personal/business, and blaming a public forum? what, bitcointalk?
ThickAsThieves: “My silence is for a very valid and personal reason, all the rumors that are flying about are false and couldn’t be further from the truth. I haven’t moved from Cyprus or anything of the kind I am TEMPORARILY out of the country resolving some big issues that were made much worse by people stating incorrect facts in a public forum.”
moiety: <Namworld> "Hindsight and time-machine required" << lolol where can i get these?!
cazalla: Bitcoin price above $1000 before April - damn, did i get this bet wrong
kakobrekla: i didnt
antephialtic: I didn't invest, even if it wasn't a scam, it was a pretty bad business plan
antephialtic: though I think this will be bad for BTC stocks in general - this was a fairly elaborate scam, and many will probably not trust btc denominated investments for a long time
Namworld: okay, seriously... I'm not registering, NYtime, to view an article
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: I'll take one of those wiki logins, plz
benkay: i've probly had worse
MisterE: I just need a prompt to do it each day really
kakobrekla: i want to take the credit :D
MisterE: I could do something like that with gribble
MisterE: Server connection commands is a better term... My client can perform functions when connecting to a network like i have it set up to auth with some bots that control channel access so I dont have to mess with it each time I connect.
MisterE: I should make a join command to ident
pankkake: I don't know much besides https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=361852.0 and him doing an IPO every other week
MisterE: I'll coin up by getting in lower now
