benkay: the local art school - Pacific Northwest College of Smoking Cigarettes and Being
a Hipster opened up
a new dorm downtown with
a neat little cafe in the bottom.
benkay: at one point, one of the side goals was to leave
a hole in the internet when i got disappeared, but now i'm just working on getting out of dodge.
assbot: How to make money on the Internet while pretending you know what you’re talking about and accumulating
a legion of mindless followers - for fun and profit! pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: so can keiser. you were here when the
a/b trick was explained no ?
BingoBoingo: benkay: Maybe if you wrote
a post you could purge ninjashogun from your brain?
benkay: man do you just write
a post and then purge it from your brain?
mircea_popescu: pankkake i took that test in spite of it starting with
a retarded question. "Your top match for Which Atlas Shrugged character are you? is: John Galt"
BingoBoingo: There's still time for life to try something bombwise in
a sustained manner.
benkay: i'm sure
a beating could go on for
a full week, but what do you have after
a day? pulp?
benkay: and if you can't make
a torturing go on for
a week...
benkay:
a week isn't
a beating, that's torture.
mircea_popescu: you can probably not take
a whole week doing it, but then again most schmucks wouldn't last
a week anyway.
mircea_popescu: exactly how beaten up should
a would-be robber/etc be before he's been beaten up too much is
a matter the courts never quite carved out.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> only thing missing is bitbets about mpif nav << building the finances of
a nation here naimean ?
mircea_popescu: don't have
a team of lawyers on each fucking continent ? stfu, bitcoin is not for you. etc.
Namworld: One thing I know I'd have to disclose is any income/profit, obviously. The taxman will want
a cut.
jurov: i don't disagree, you just happen to be most visible and in
a country with most prone law system
davout: or maybe just send him
a drawing of
a spider as payment :3
Namworld: Some retards do, thinking it's actually
a good idea. Fortunately that's not too common...
Namworld: They all sounded alike... not sure if I should laugh, or fear
a retard actually showing up... Even if he comes for me, the guy will still be
a retard.
Namworld: There was
a guy who at first claimed his son gambled his BTC on Coinroll, it's illegal, refund it. Was very insisting. Then another claimed Scrat stole the money and laundered it on his website (no idea how he knew the address his "stolen" BTC went to was
a Coinroll address). Then some guy threatening legal action to me directly, having dug up my info. I told him I don't own or have
mircea_popescu: Namworld maybe it';s
a hot chick and you end up with
a new, fiery girlfriend ?
davout: jurov mircea_popescu french/dutch/nigerian by adoption =
a fun world cup
Namworld: Normally I'd think the guy is
a retard because I'm not the right nor wealthiest target in this... but that's what makes it worse. I imagine
a retard could well decide to go gangster and show up.
Namworld: I am now attracting threats of harm to me and my family, for working for
a Bitcoin casino and for having
a few BTC. Apparently I'm responsible for Scrat's debts because Scrat not reachable/can't pay.

Bugpowder: If anyone wants to put $50-250k+ into
a real near field microscopy startup at the angel stage, let me know.
jurov: just do
a garage sale
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, like, engineers love the immiggrant Tesla's story, but he only ecked out
a meagre living from some patent royalties and that's it.
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, but while I respect that philosophy,
a little bit of capital is always needed.
ninjashogun: Anyway, I'm not going to argue with you guys. You're free to do whatever you want. If anyone wants in on the funding that is being raised I was asked to post
a prospectus, it'll be in the other channel and you can review it.
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, well, I don't know. That thread I linked shows
a founder who is selling assets free of any regulation or securities law. It gets ugly very fast.
ninjashogun: jurov, this is why I ignore people's suggestions to make
a crypto currency and sell shares, etc.
ninjashogun: jurov, this is why I'm ont raising
a securities sale
assbot: Usagi- is he or isn't he
a scammer.
ninjashogun: jurov, I recommend
a double opt-in system, where you ask Usagi if he would like an intro to
a founder, and if he does want one (as well - I'll speak to him) you can introduce us.
ninjashogun: jurov, I would ordinarily ask for an "intro" (who is he, etc) but I've been told that it's
a bit forward to ask for this kind of info in btc world.
ninjashogun: jurov, I don't see
a log for Usagi when I open the scrollback, so probably I haven't spoken with him.
ninjashogun: Hi, Mats_cd03 and I have talked as well, but not on skype or anything. At the time i think I was just focusing on the newer business with you Mats, you would recall that I was talking in terms of
a loan I think.
ninjashogun: For traditoinal companies, that have at least 2 years of net revenues, it's typical to raise "RBF" (revenue based financing) at
a multiple of up to 5x, meaning that it will be returned until 5x has been returned. And that is with substantially reduced risk. (2 years of real cash flow.)
ninjashogun: I've also connected with other real-world VC's/founders from here. So it's
a mixed bag.
ninjashogun: I slightly trust Benkay, however he doesn't have
a real-world VC network and hasn't taken venture capital money for his business.
aegis: Do any of you make
a living just off bitcoin?
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, the reason is that
a mod from another bitcoin channel got (in his words) 23 PM's from people in this channel. After someone posted my offer here.
ninjashogun: the funding is $30K within the week, it can be to hard trusted escrower (who does cost control). It's being spent on two startups, one of which has
a client but is not yet incorporated, the other has discussed very high valuaitons with (real-world) VC's.
ninjashogun: I disagree with all of you completely on running
a business - especially Mircau. I think this channel is incredibly trollish.
ninjashogun: Anyway, I'm
a real world person. Anyone here who is interested cna connect with me in real life.
ninjashogun: And then when I realized that you guys have
a ton of money and (I thought) in earnest working on products, offered services.
ninjashogun: i'm
a startup founder, I now have 2 startups I'm doing. (That's what the small funding round is about in the other channel).
mircea_popescu: i have no idea how long that makes it but i think i never missed
A SINGLE LINE since logs were introduced.
BingoBoingo: It's like LVHM, it sell the pretense of being or being in
a thing
BingoBoingo: Well It's
a place scared white Americans can get stuff from china and pretend to be "in industry"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Many merchants are shitty on Alibaba, but...
A lot of people like consuming and reselling shit. << wasn't this essentially the pitch of ebay too ?
mircea_popescu: this entire "stolen emails" thing is
a decade old by now.
BingoBoingo: Huh, even with Death owning the board, life is still
a value purchase
ThickAsThieves: The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board,
a White House watchdog group that condemned the Obama administration's phone surveillance program earlier this year, has released another report ... According to the board, though, it's completely legal.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the record : Bitcoins Reserve / sam lee need to
a) read the fucking history. this retarded shit happened once to bitpay.
rithm: mircea_popescu took
a vacation?
mircea_popescu: "Following the overtaking of Lee’s email, the attackers processed
a password challenge, which then provided them with
a list of all of the passwords that had been previously listed within the browser. They then retrieved Bitcoins Reserve’s domain register, and then proceeded to add another DNS record that gave them access through Google to the company’s admin page for their apps account. "
benkay: vortex shedding was imparting
a torque on the airframe, inverting control and confusing controller.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes but your cannon car would be
a major danger for the one bhind it
benkay: <mircea_popescu> he didles rockets in hs spare time iirc. // once upon
a time.
benkay: an acquaintance crashed
a Ford "Mustang" into
a tree one time. the crumple zones are so well-distributed around the car that the cupholder crushed his unopened cola can, dousing everyone in the car in
a fine mist of sugar water.
mthreat: mark webber had
a thing about how he swallowed
a pill that monitored his body temps, etc, during the race
mthreat: asciilifeform: sounds right - racing seatbelts are designed to "rip"
a bit on impact to absorb some of the force
benkay: did so by example: "now on this other actually tightly-coupled gps imu an acquaintance built, he actually used the IMU to maintain
a lock on the GPS sats while under...10G acceleration".
benkay: had to explain to someone that their 'coupled' gps-imu thinger on
a phone was not coupled in the strict sense of the thing.
mircea_popescu: liberated female sexuality specifically does not mean female sexuality coralled by feminist special interest.
a slave's
a paragon of liberated female sexuality, not some derpy "playboy" with bills due.
mircea_popescu: "For the record, I don’t think that
a female who has frivolous and frequent sex with different men has any cause for shame, at least not if she’s doing it because she enjoys it and because it’s making her
a happier and better citizen of the world, and if she is doing it for other less helpful reasons, then those reasons are what she should be dealing with, not the “symptoms.” Sadly, few people actually view f
mircea_popescu: Some of us are trying to use ‘grow some ovaries’ as
a female-friendly equivalent to ‘grow some balls,’
benkay: No one calls
a male past the age of puberty “
a good boy.” // lies - i called
a guy
a "nice kid" just two days ago.
benkay: it's not vc it's
a fucking roulette wheel
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: so is this
a thing, you reply negatively to
a tweet, then poster deleted op and retweets anew, disconnecting your comment from their feed << that sounds like exactly the sort of thing you'd see on twitter.
