danielpbarron: .@aantonop Being banned by
Reddit is almost as worse as @rogerkver not being allowed in the US
☟︎ assbot: I’ve now been unbanned from
reddit. The drama is over.
thestringpuller: perhaps.
reddit does have a ridiculously hard time paying the bills with their own money.
thestringpuller: well
reddit wants more users without having to pay for anything
mircea_popescu:
reddit has to shadowban users because spam. bitcoin-assets does not. because wot works and "Feedback" doesn't ? awww, who knew.
mircea_popescu: why is
reddit so fucking stupid ? "because it has stupid people in it" no. not because of that, stupid people are universally present and as inert as dirt.
mircea_popescu: probably has to do with how, to quote altman, "Its interesting to note that during my very brief tenure,
reddit added more users than Hacker News has in total."
mircea_popescu: unsurprisingly, this never worked before
reddit, but it works splendidly there.
beautyon: mircea_popescu: as long as it stays on
Reddit that's fine. They had better prepare to back down quickly, or suffer losses. Sadly these feeble men run to the courts habitually which may or may not be a nuisance.
mircea_popescu: i fully expect them to try, fail, and then spend the next six months writing how mp is a scammer all over
reddit/the boy's bathroom
mircea_popescu: anyway, i very much doubt nullc actually has any idea as to what's going on, apart from being in the room when it was explained and now typing words on
reddit. and i doubt wuille actually did anything deliberately nefarious there.
mircea_popescu: so if you had to guess, how many previously innocent
reddit read your comment and figured "hmm... there's something here" ?
mircea_popescu: you know, i despise
reddit, and that thing's a fine example, like are many others.
mircea_popescu: "I'd also like to see a source to this claim. I'll start a bounty of 3,000 bits." gotta love
reddit.
BingoBoingo: undata: Problem with
Reddit is it is hard to realize that a man is a man.
undata:
reddit as a sort of shared mindless leader, or at least a point to swarm around
undata: @mircea_popescu | <undata> it's that imitative mind << imitathive << the
reddit hive seems to have caused a malfunction in something very normal and human
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "hashname" << have ye unleashed the valkyrie on
reddit?
mircea_popescu: ahhh the fact
reddit is so in favour of this hardfork business is so great :D
akisora: In the article linked in the
reddit thestringpuller posted Gavin said "2. There are special rules for 'coinbase' transactions: there can be only one coinbase transaction per block, it must be the first transaction, etc."
BingoBoingo: It really is.
Reddit sucks, but for different reasons that they think.
BingoBoingo: lulzy shit from their forum "I was just making the point that engagement with the wider crypto community was of little value to GAW, and here
Reddit goes and makes a prime example for me."
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem looky, the 12 btc or w/e random
reddit noob threw under the bus in that scam does not to any degree figure.
mircea_popescu: "Hey friends,
reddit cryptocurrency engineer here. The post is deliberately vague about technology and legal. For one, we're holding back on committing to a particular technology just because the bitcoin world changes very fast, and we want to make sure we pick the right choice. However, almost certainly it will be either colored coins or sidechains."
decimation: oh no, imagine a world where twitter and
reddit were cut out of business! inconceivable!!
decimation: "Some people seem to believe that microtipping can bring about the end of advertising. This doesn't quite make sense, because microtip systems like ChangeTip cut out the platform operator: a user directly transfers a tiny amount to another user, leaving out the platform (e.g.
Reddit, Twitter, etc)."
punkman: qntry is giving out free laptops/tablets and internet, so we can have more derps on
reddit decimation:
reddit is kinda like a lesswrong for retards
thestringpuller: it's funny how
reddit consistently can't pay bills due to more users using it...
Adlai:
reddit will be rather profitable if they can increase by an order of magnitude the number of casual bitcoin dabblers, while watching their every breath, move, bond, and step
thestringpuller: dunno if
reddit will ever be profitable long term. it's like borderline derp
mircea_popescu: jurov any chance
reddit will get DERPified? << mebbe, i'dhave to look into it. if it does it won't be this year.
undata: and a
reddit alien plushie
undata: decimation: you just like... get infinite
reddit gold... man.
decimation: mats: and what would have if you owned every
reddit note? would you have a seat on the board? would you be able to show up at the 'advance publications' headquarters and demand free drinks?
decimation: BingoBoingo: this '
reddit note' thing is hilarious. who wants to own 10% of a company that makes no money?
decimation: ah, all the crazy lefties who own
reddit are fighting the system by enriching some new york jew
Luke-Jr: someone on
reddit complained that I should only do 1 controversial thing at a time, implying there is something else you can FUD about already if you want to
Adlai: let's leave blacklists out of the discussion, there's enough room for that on
reddit BingoBoingo: * mircea_popescu shudders, thinks of bunnies << This is how Qntra's taking over
reddit.
