mircea_popescu: so everything here takes the same brass skeleton keys pretty much. i have a 2`800 grams pile of different keys ;/
benkay: what was the rationale, mircea_popescu - that since it was a purchase with a 1-year buyback agreement you could book it as opex instead of capex?
asciilifeform: 'human dishwasher' << one item i keep expecting to see from the chicoms. looks precisely like the mechanical kind, but has a nice little fellow living inside (first eats scraps, then washes, then returns to his compartment. convenient sewer hookup for both!)
benkay: it did seem a pretty tortured way to shoehorn an asset bearing company into an0 reporting.
mircea_popescu: benkay yeah, it had a bunch of servers paid upfront.
benkay: pray for a bleeder valve?
mircea_popescu: so talking of ways one doesn't exactly expect to die : i have a gas boiler here. gas isn't really that commonly used in ba, and i guess they don't really get it. i notice that sometimes when i turn hot water on it sputters. super is like "well ya gotta let steam get out now an' again".
kakobrekla: not a tit but nevertheless
mircea_popescu: Do u have any personal imformation of BVPS owner?They are fraud.They started buy back at a very low price 2 monthes ago,and it's non negotiation.I can get less than 3 btc.I accept that.And they say they will pay before june 30th. But I havent got any payment till today.

pankkake: I used to live in a place that fried my psus every few months
asciilifeform: pankkake: i moved to a street where the entire place shares a transformer. so, abysmal mains quality.

mircea_popescu: yeah best way to lose a key is through signing
asciilifeform points out that entropy is a far more dire concern for signing than key generation, interestingly
danielpbarron: but i guess it all rests on entropy generation and that's been a target for longer than Bitcoin has existed
danielpbarron: GinAddict1, a little of both; it's what I had left over from back when I used to be into computers, and I don't trust new hardware / don't know what's good now

mircea_popescu: GinAddict1 mike is the chief enemy plant in bitcoin. he's the guy that merged heartbleed in bitcoin for absolutely no legitimatereason, and he's the guy that forced a hard fork, idem.
GinAddict1: i miscommunicated with my graphic designer and in a table on the home there was a column called Hack proof instead of "Improved security"
GinAddict1: I'm the founder, I code, I manage, I PR but more than anything I'm a bitcoiner first
GinAddict1: mircea_popescu: we def had a really bad start, initially there was some marketing/dev mismatch and in our home we even said "Hack proof" when i actually wanted to say "Improved security"
GinAddict1: a bit of hate maybe but we spoke a bit and it was a very reasonable conversation
GinAddict1: there was a blog post by pete
GinAddict1: ThickAsThieves: yep - bad/good slogan for a multisig service you reckon?

mircea_popescu: Est. % Change: 4.55 is what it is. it didn't have a period like this in 3 months

ThickAsThieves: So Draper's been in this for a long time
ThickAsThieves: "I like bitcoin. Bitcoin could really transform all of the currencies of the world. It could end up being a way for money to move much faster. Money moving faster means more liquidity, which means more wealth for the whole world, more deals. If I make a deal with you, we’re both better off. We can make those deals better and faster with bitcoin. That’s exciting."
ThickAsThieves: watch it turn up in a few days
