moiety: asciilifeform: re cats digging, there is
a UK comedian (Eddie Izzard) who says cats are drilling (purring) and digging when they are behind the sofa lol in actuality, i think people can confuse digging for taking care of their claws. re covering their mess, incidentally they don't do this when they want to show who is boss in
a household.
moiety: fluffypony: couple different options, i'll make
a wee paste and pm it to you
Apocalyptic: "I think it's funny that people think
a bitcoin subreddit is the center of the bitcoin universe"
nubbins`: we have
a 24" guillotine cutter, anything bigger than that requires
a ruler and x-acto
nubbins`: best you could manage would be to get
a stack cutter and slice
a stack of sheets all at once
nubbins`: but cuttong
a 15x22" sheet down to business card size, you gotta keep moving the backstop
nubbins`: i was actually reading
a gabriel garcia marquez story the other day where the guy talks about "
a beautiful four-color poster"
mircea_popescu: but i tell you by the way... i've seen some machinery on that hunt... this whole town's half
a museum
mircea_popescu: both methods of organising labour are utterly horrible for anyone interested in quality work. they do deliver
a very extensive array of crap
mircea_popescu: if you had to pay fiddy bux to edit github bleedin' heart would still be there and
a bunch of dorks all over the web would be explaining how it's not really that bad
mircea_popescu: you know it just occurs to me, the democratic political process and open source software have
a shitload in common.
mircea_popescu: isn't this most upstanding member that dork that came here
a coupla years ago to try and troll anonymously
kakobrekla: You have been banned by
a forum moderator. You may appeal here: banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com .

a forum acct, ask that brucexie guy to drop bysometime
moiety: 1MoiEtY7kGWwxr7isWhS492gXJZqGUbWFy << :D its even
a speshul one ... kk so that one isn't the best deal imo, lemme dig
a little more
fluffypony: also have you setup
a Bitcoin wallet yet?
fluffypony: moiety: from earlier - fluffypony: if anyone's interested, I'm looking for someone to buy
a $900 item (aforementioned flash drive) on Amazon for me and ship it to me, will pay in Bitcoin and also pay for the effort
mircea_popescu: anyway, mind buying
a disk for fluffypony on amazon and reshipping it ?
moiety: fluffypony: I love it, it's amazing! but i got stuck in the empty old flat for
a few days and haven't had internet here. I've moved half hour drive away in the smallest car you can buy i think and me and mum aren't exactly weight lifters lol how are you? :D

☟︎ gribble: moiety was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 21 hours, 9 minutes, and 40 seconds ago: <moiety> i do but there's

fluffypony: if anyone's interested, I'm looking for someone to buy

punkman: lol "An interesting addition to these drives is
a small LCD display on the side that might at some point show meaning information, but sadly ours only boasted the 1TB size."
fluffypony: it's been
a year since Kingston released
a 1tb HyperX Predator flash drive, I can't believe no other manufacturer has one yet
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: it's roughly the system you describe - it stores
a hash of
a document in the blockchain
mircea_popescu: or they could have joined assets
a year or so ago. either way.
mircea_popescu: well, it's definitely the blockchain-friendliest approach, seeing as only
a hash is stored in the first place. moreover, i don't see how nonspendable tx helps anything other than pruning
mircea_popescu: punkman
a tx is
a tx, whether unspendable or not it's the same length no ?
punkman: mircea_popescu: instead of sending 1btc back and forth, it should make
a provably unspendable tx
mircea_popescu: if financing ever becomes
a problem can always charge people who do over say 2
a month X btc for using it.
mircea_popescu: 3. once this tx gets 1 confirm, assbot makes an announcement here. "statements from mircea_popescu, mike_c, kakobrekla : b-
a.com/registrar/blockxxx"
mircea_popescu: 2. once every 512 seconds, submitted text is checked. all that is clearsigned content by signatures in assbot's l2 gets bundled together, hashed and the hash is included in
a special tx through which b-
a pays 1 btc to itself with
a decent miner fee
mircea_popescu: 1. somewhere on b-
a website there's
a text form where people can submit random text up to say 16kb in length. this all goes into db.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so based on mike_c's discussion last night, i think i have
a very good addition to b-
a kako. it'd go like this :
☟︎☟︎☟︎ Mats_cd03: asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo: while I weld the server shut to drop off at the colo << if you don't already own one,
a very usable spot-welder can be made from the ubiquitous 1F+ capacitors sold for use with automotive 'boom-booms.' << 'dis spark plugs?
punkman: strange that
a text adventure hit #1 on the app stores
mircea_popescu: it's so bad your INTERN for
a vc won't consider deals under 1mn
mircea_popescu: if anything, start-up rounds need to be more now, not less. because it costs WAY less now for
a couch surfing founder to start his company.
bitcoinpete: which is
a problem of inflationary currency, n'est pas?
bitcoinpete: "In effect,
a $3-5M seed round or
a $3-5M "New Series
A" is
a recreation of the original conception of an
A round from historical VC."
assbot: 1/
A few thoughts on timing and staging of capital into modern tech startups -- start with fact that 2003-20011 seed rounds were ~$500K-1M.
bitcoinpete: at least maidsafe and bitgo left

A Long, Painful History of Time
mircea_popescu: So why do I not want Common Lisp to be
a mass market language? Because this kind of people will want to exert influence over something that is good because it has been restricted to the “elite” that has made
a conscious choice to be different from /something/, indeed to /be/ something. The very word “exist” derives from “to step forth, to stand out”." << this, incidentally, is why the same splooge tries to
mircea_popescu: "the kind of people who have
a strong desire /not/ to think become not just
a liability on their immediate surroundings, they force
a change in how civilization can sustain itself when these people think they should have some power, and indeed /have/ some power qua mass consumers, where everybody is in fact just like everybody else and were being
a minority costs real money if not convenience.

gribble: You rated user Blazedout419 on Sun Mar 2 12:59:46 2014, with
a rating of 2, and supplied these additional notes: trusted trader.
dub: I like the css on that page, makes the blue hyperlink text not actually be
a link
davout: "There are some practical problems with carrying out that attack, though. They are likely to get caught, because it is impossible to wire money to
a bank account anonymously. It seems very likely they would find themselves in legal trouble for defrauding the exchange."
davout: "The first thing they could do would be to double-spend already confirmed transactions. For example, they could send some bitcoins to an exchange, trade them for dollars, wire the dollars to their bank account, and then announce
a longer blockchain where the transfer to the exchange never happened. Now they have dollars and bitcoins." <<< such braindamage
dignork: but there is much more common use-case, gave
a usb disk to colleague to copy
a movie w.e, now i need to reformat it...
dignork: asciilifeform: i understand the implementation complexity (not too bad), and just wonder how come it's not
a marketed thing.
dignork: might be
a nice additional product for S.NSA imho
