benkay: that's whats got me antsy this morning. "just because i'm paranoid does not mean they're not out to get me."
benkay: anyways the part that stuck with me was how they thought i'd been in louisiana, and had derped their butts out to the Cascades to have a "talk" with me. all eight of them.
benkay: chetty: in my dream every seat but the mid-row passenger seat in my truck was filled with a cop, and as I went to hop in my truck to do something, other cops stuffed me in the empty seat. and i haven't even been watching movies lately?
ThickAsThieves: well i'm not lifting those skirts
ThickAsThieves: i do think they have some sort of connection
mircea_popescu: dexX7 i agree, was kinda curious what his theory is.
ThickAsThieves: i find it very hard to believe he is a tranny
ThickAsThieves: i spoke with deprived once
mircea_popescu: i... hope he's being sarcastic

ThickAsThieves: if i recall
ThickAsThieves: but i suspect Kate as also playing the market
imsaguy: I need to start fancy paper stuffs
ThickAsThieves: and i got what i deserved in that regard
ThickAsThieves: only reason i paid attention was as a trader
mircea_popescu: ok so basically it's a "get no interest and wait for a year to hear which excuse i pick up for not redeeming" ?
ThickAsThieves: i honest;y never checked the divs
ThickAsThieves: i believe so
mircea_popescu: so i get 0.0038*100 btc * 100usd/200usd ?

mircea_popescu: but wait i don't understand. work me through this will you ?
mircea_popescu: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bim4lUsIQAIxojO.png << from the "i can prove anything" department

ThickAsThieves: i had someone from CT soliciting me to list a PT this week
mircea_popescu: i remember back before xmas when we were mocking her cuntdown
ThickAsThieves: i dont count one bullshit statement as being "back"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well that i have no idea.
ThickAsThieves: i assume, but larger lately?
ThickAsThieves: but i'd have to look it up
ThickAsThieves: i recall it being far less than 1000 holders
ThickAsThieves: and i processed tons of shit by hand to render those people whole
ThickAsThieves: thats why i offered to pay to round it up
ThickAsThieves: i shoulda listened to myself
dexX7: i remember what you said at the very beginning via pm when i asked about your standpoint. in the end i can only say: you were right
ThickAsThieves: i'd be happy just to redeem them
ThickAsThieves: i dont even track it honestly
ThickAsThieves: i got caught with pants down trying to trade that shit
dexX7: asciilifeform: what do the trezor guys wrong for example? i didn't really follow the progress
dexX7: well, i never would rely on it, but i think most act in good faith, others are like "omg someone will exploit this" but don't do anything and a tiny subset may actually try something nefarious
asciilifeform: dexX7: i bet most people don't try to exploit stuff << 'you may not be interested in war, but war is certainly interested in you.'
ThickAsThieves: i think Deprived is just claling bullshit on anyone actually seeking counsel and confident everyone is too lazy to get back-invoices
dexX7: i bet most people don't try to exploit stuff
mircea_popescu: i wonder wtf people be thinking.
mircea_popescu: i could trivially have any of my counsel write me infinity bills and bleed him dry.
mircea_popescu: "If anyone incurred costs taking legal advice in respect of my absence then please PM me and I'll look at reimbursing it (copies of invoices would be required)."
mircea_popescu: imsaguy i knew that, actually.
ThickAsThieves: all i'm asking for is 20 minutes with Brin, and a fat check
dexX7: i'm asking about deprived, because there was also creativx, another us issuer who vanished after btct who had a rock solid reputation
ughlol: I have 0 luck
ughlol: Honestly, I first thought you were some random guy full of ego and trolling me
ughlol: I wish I was born elsewhere
mircea_popescu: if i didn't know that it'd have never made sense.
mircea_popescu: yeah, it makes so much sense, because you told me you're from india and i knew how to construct it.
mircea_popescu: which i suppose is very sad for the ugly girls,
ughlol: I like pretty girls..
ughlol: Yes, I do
mircea_popescu: i happen to think it's great.
ughlol: I agree :(
ughlol: I can't understand how investors dont understand that a two man team can't make a very great app, not in the desired timeframe. They say that they'll invest when they see a prototype.
mircea_popescu: i jhust finished it.
ughlol: Looks like I'll never get investment for anything
Neil: ThickAsThieves: b.t.w. with you on your discussion of 16hrs ago that I had to abandon for work
ughlol: Now I understand why the rich get richer and poor get poorer! :)
ughlol: i see
ughlol: And I understand that, I've seen many fraudsters as well.
ughlol: I agree.
Neil: perhaps I misunderstand
ughlol: And I have to trade through bitcoin-otc or something to get some rep, otherwise nobody will be interested in investing?
ughlol: Oh, I see.
Neil: mircea_popescu: It's nice, but nothing special. Just a self-adjusting mechanism. I think the economics / incentives of bitcoin are the smartest part. And the fact (other than block size which was a short-term expedient solution to a short-term problem) that so much was left to just float (including the creation of altcoins for example). I think that took balls and real insight. Satoshi was a cool dude for whom I'd love to buy
ughlol: And if you're worried about who i am, and if im a fraud, I'll give you my real name, and you can google me! :)
nubbins`: i had an app that let you send sms messages via email
mircea_popescu: i can't even remember it ;/
ughlol: I have quite some good rep there.
ughlol: Oh i see.
ughlol: oh, I see.
mircea_popescu: i know of no previous instance of a mechanism working so efficiently in all human technical history.
jurov: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124441.0 i meant this, but above applies too
mircea_popescu: Neil actually the best measure of bitcoin robustness per se, i would think, is the time - to - hash mechanism.
mircea_popescu: which i don't know because you just dropped here and started talking randomly.
ughlol: jurov: no I havent. Can you please link me?
ughlol: Half year? Im sorry, I don't understand.
Neil: Dude, who works for a media company, says "but bitcoin's not stable. Not robust. I worry about ... " and I'm thinking "WTF are you talking about? I can hardly imagine anything more stable/robust". I don't think I can relate on the same level any more. Too many people want "authority" to tell them what to do / think.
ughlol: Hi, I am looking for investment for a startup! :) Some friends over at bitcoin-otc said this might be the right channel to find potential investors!
Neil: So I was at a bitcoin meetup this evening. Japan. Which has recently learned about bitcoin (there was basically zip in Japanese 1 year ago on the internet, now it's on a par with the information / misinformation content that exists in English).
mircea_popescu: i dun see much future in the us, let alone any magic manifest destiny sort of future. then again, im not from there and ostensibly don't much care.
mircea_popescu: there's a three part bit on trilema about essences, which really i'll have to have translated, it's too important.
Neil: mp: I don't understand your point. Deeply held beliefs that are not handed down to you must have been formed by life experiences, I suspect.
Neil: jurov: well I realized about 3 years ago that all I'd been told about money (which was almost nothing - an amazing and likely deliberate gap of the education system) didn't make any sense. And I wanted to understand money. Started reading, and 6 months later find bitcoin (2011) and think wow, and then many things all became a lot clearer. Perhaps I'm slow, but in most things I'm not. Just never had really been given the right
TomServo: specifically: At the time, I called the transaction an “all-in wager on the economic future of the United
