mircea_popescu: sure, it works to a large degree, i can educate my slaves on a very similar process.
TomServo: You seem to have some level of respect for Buffet.. so I'm curious what you'd say regarding his comments around the purchase of BNSF
jurov: Neil, I was profoundly discontent with what i was told
mircea_popescu: nothing leads me dood, i lead it.
Neil: mp: I'm curious - how much of your current beliefs are your own, and how much from your parents / schooling etc.
mircea_popescu: which is why random fuckwit discovering bitcoin is all about how "I WILL MAKE MY OWN EXCAHGE" rather than "i wonder where i could add my incremental effort"
mircea_popescu: while it's easy to laugh at these particular retards, such as the parents of every romanian girl i ever fucked, this is a bit like picking fun at the special olympic people.
Neil: Yeah; the state destroying incentives is something that has gotten so clear to me in the last 2-3 yrs yet I'm baffled by how few around me see it.
mircea_popescu: i mean think about it, a country that suddenly needs everything. everything!
mircea_popescu: well, it'll be lengthy. the whole story is in an article i wrote about romanians a while back, http://trilema.com/2011/povestea-celor-trei-imparati-smecheri-si-a-celor-trei-negustori-fraieri-fabula-in-versuri-ilustrata/
mircea_popescu: i didn't dop anything lol
Neil: Good incentive to get off my ass and do something useful myself I guess.
Neil: I've had enough of 3rd parties
Neil: In a parallel universe with no risk you see, I mighta been interested in investing in some of your ventures. Though the terms are clear, it's also the problem, as a) a 30BTC fine to "play" means there's gotta be something worth playing for, and b) I worry about you getting run over by a bus, for example, because c) it's all really quite opaque and I rate b) as ~2% annually, which is quite a JTD risk.
Neil: I see, curious why you're waiting for someone to disclose so that you know.
mircea_popescu: i'm a reputed workaholic (also see http://trilema.com/2013/zonehedge-wow-such-durden-much-info-about-useless/#footnote_2_51568 )

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I plan on covering most of the sports. Next is probably Basketball because it is the least betable.
MisterE: I prefer a .mp4 file I can play at my convenience
BingoBoingo: Well, if I am my own ISP that would suck wouldn't it...
BingoBoingo: MisterE: I'd want to know more about how their site and player are architected, but that could just easily be some podunk law firm fishing for ip's to gather for one of those mass John Doe suits.
BingoBoingo: I dunno, you kind of sound like 5-0
MisterE: I have a site for you
BingoBoingo: It's how I keep up with Archer.
BingoBoingo: I watch streaming shit. If stuff isn't on Hulu I'll watch it somewhere else.
BingoBoingo: Eh, the streaming sites provide the content without putting me in a position to be distributing it. I dun think the risk reward for torrenting the wrong this is a good value proposition in my jurisdiction.
MisterE: yea think I have met them ;/
BingoBoingo: I dun torrent.
BingoBoingo: MisterE: I do this chan, was on CoinChat before TF went scam, and I blog at http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/
MisterE: BingoBoingo: do I know you from another tracker?
BingoBoingo: like I suggested, BTC prolly not ready yet
BingoBoingo: Well, if you were selling the other kind, I would suggest Bitcoin might not be mature enough for that yet...
MisterE: maybe I should wiki at lest
herbijudlestoids: anyway, i need to get some breakfast in me and crack on with my worx.
nubbins`: if you lead, i'll follow
Diablo-D3: I want a hot woman mine
BingoBoingo: If uranium is even what I have mined. Maybe I'll just have lead mines or something
BingoBoingo: When I have my uranium mines I will fill them with the shennanigan-less
herbijudlestoids: but i missed you guys :D
nubbins`: "I'm afraid I cannot address your problem. I have much more important things to think about just now: sea urchins, hordes of them, with their evil poisoned spines, there in the sea, just out of view, waiting… waiting…"
herbijudlestoids: i have been busy busy
herbijudlestoids: i cant wait to be rich, so i can finally get a seat on mpex
nubbins`: http://i.imgur.com/4s70vPm.jpg

ozbot: Say Hello to 2014, Bitcointalk. I created Bitcointa.lk, a real alternative to Bitcointalk.org. 5 mil

ThickAsThieves: nubbins` mp lost all the coinz on gox i guess
Duffer1: so.. i'm on the phone with Lilliput now should i cancel the gang or not?
ThickAsThieves: like i said before, youve got a reason for not publishing your personal wealth, if you dont want to say the reason, that's fine
mircea_popescu: we weren't actually discussing that, i dun think.
ThickAsThieves: the answer i got was essentially to put idiots in their place
ThickAsThieves: which i assume also represent user funds
ThickAsThieves: i dont believe there is a known addy that is definitively your coins
mircea_popescu: i just made a comment re the bitbet addies, you can tally those up, they're published
ThickAsThieves: maybe i'm just ignorant and everyone knows your addies but me, and youre just fucking with me
mircea_popescu: but to some degree i do.
ThickAsThieves: it's what I observe
mircea_popescu: tbh what i perceive is the matter here is that you live in an environment where poor black dudes stare you down as a daily routine, and i just said "da fuck is this, you stare THEM down mothefucker! they're poor, not you" which created a little disonance
ThickAsThieves: i guess it does usually take a lot of kicking and screaming on the occassions you do give in though... so maybe i'm wring
ThickAsThieves: if i am remotely accurate in my estimation of your intelligence, yes
ThickAsThieves: whether i am perfectly articulating my case, or presenting it in the exact way to get a straight answer, you do know what I am saying
ThickAsThieves: we're just dancing anyway, i don't see any other way to interpret this
ThickAsThieves: i'm only asking because i suspect your reasons arent much different than mine
mircea_popescu: why am i not fucking them in particular X manner you'd prefer ? because i'm me.
mircea_popescu: no but i mean literally.
ThickAsThieves: and i further qualified it
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> while i'm unlikely in the top 500, i wouldnt want to be known as such << this is the line that sparked the discussion
ThickAsThieves: i mean i know you do your part to spank the idiots and seize your day
mircea_popescu: well it's good enough, i'll use this as a convenient reference to show that at least one person in zee werld thinks im shy.
mircea_popescu: seems kinda nutty to ask me why i'm shy dunnit ?
ThickAsThieves: you asked why be shy, i said why, you said yeah but, then i asked well why are you shy?
ThickAsThieves: i think i came off more defensive than i actually am
ThickAsThieves: i believe you have plenty
mircea_popescu: i wasn't even aware im playin.
ThickAsThieves: i'm not gonna beat a dead horse over it
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i think you prolly took an angle of what i said and run off with it.
ThickAsThieves: that i dont want anyone to know what i have in that context
mircea_popescu: but i dun see it, i mean what exactly ? mpex has at least one well known inbound address, it shows however many btc
ThickAsThieves: i think i already pointed out what
ThickAsThieves: no just surprised i didnt note the hypocrisy til now
mircea_popescu: what, srsly, does it look to you like i ain't ?
Duffer1: i thought that's what trilema was for
ThickAsThieves: i dont see you sharing your addresses anyway!
ThickAsThieves: if i*
ThickAsThieves: all i know is that anyone that might care how much coin I have, i cared too, i'd show em
ThickAsThieves: i dont know
mircea_popescu: Neil i have no idea what you're asking. bother me ? why would it bother me. it's my government, it does my laundry.
ThickAsThieves: wtf use do i have to be in these people's heads
ThickAsThieves: am i not?
ThickAsThieves: do i?
ThickAsThieves: while i'm unlikely in the top 500, i wouldnt want to be known as such
Neil: ThickAsThieves: regarding # addresses with large coin - it's very stable; I've been tracking it. There is a small downtrend except for the top 500 which has been in uptrend
