ninjashogun: And for a bit of information, the team is distributed - he is in Kentucky and I am from Boston
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/headbash-d.gif << i'm this sick of it.
ninjashogun: project sounds interesting. I'm open and interested in hearing more about this project."
ninjashogun: Here is the other person's profile that he responded with: "I am a full stack web/desktop/mobile developer. Currently my weapon of choice is C# for the back end stuff, and JavaScript for the front end. I am also versed in Objective-C (I have three apps on the app store). Daily my bread and butter is developing web apps. Lately I've been developing cross-platform mobile games. I have a degree in Math, so I know just a bit of graph theory... this
greenspan_fan: I get really sick of people defending btc-dev not doing important things because they're "probably" np-complete
mircea_popescu: ninjashogun for the other part of your question, i would say everyone speaking here knows a lot of math.
davout: no, i'm a create-your-own-exchange consultant
ninjashogun: Duffer1 - no, I just met and spoke with my cofounder today :)
ThickAsThieves: i like my search engine idea better
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan i'm down.
greenspan_fan: yeah, does it have CSS? that's what I want to know
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, ok... that doesn't really help me though :) I'm not here raising Series A.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, i'll bet you're not getting a dime so far.
ninjashogun: antephialtic - No, I don't want to specify it here. It's not about solving an unsolved problem, but rather applying existing theory in a novel way.
copumpkin: I want good signups though
ninjashogun: the moment I announce on hackernews (hwere I have a profile) at the right time of day, I will have some sign-ups
copumpkin: and several others I've seen
ninjashogun: So I am looking for a roughly $50K investment (nominal, could be less). Is anyone here in a position to conssider that, has a portfolio and has been involved iwth other startups in the past? An interest in mathematics (specifically graph theory) helps immensely.
copumpkin: I saw my profile(s) on gild.com the other day
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, the specific problem we're solving is "connecting jobs with job-seekers". I.e. finding the best qualified candidate for an employer, or the place to work for a job-seeker. BETTER than a text search where they both just blurt out what they need (exactly) on the part of the employer or everything they have done (exactly) on the part of the job seeker.
ninjashogun: greenspan_fan, I don't think so. I am sure every job site would be open to us sending people to their ads :)
mircea_popescu: copumpkin i thought it didn't have to be square.
greenspan_fan: but I always conceptualized pagerank for instance as being essentially graph theoretic in nature
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, I have no idea why you wrote thta to me
dexX7: this is somehow sad.. i wonder for how many bitcoin was a pain instead of pleasure
ninjashogun: So just to put this in context I have just connected this week with the other mathetician I am creating this site with, so it is a very fresh startup opportunity. To whoever asked about the means of investing, standard terms as you would suggest based on hearing abou thte opportunity etc.
gribble: mike_c was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 hours, 40 minutes, and 0 seconds ago: <mike_c> :) hopefully i can run it on an actual machine and get better performance
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, I meant talent! Sorry.
Bugpowder: fract4l: I'd buy at 0.01
fract4l: i'm *SHOCKED* that bitcoinbuilder is still above 0.00000001
OneFixt: Bugpowder: i have enough, Bugpowder, don't worry
ThickAsThieves: i used goz like twice in feb
ThickAsThieves: i trolled the guy enough you'd think he'd have learned...
fract4l: Apocalyptic: hey, personally i think the camel picture is hilarious....
ninjashogun: Not much ThickAsThieves . I'm raising $50K for a new job web site based on applied graph theory (not to relationships/connections - something else)
mircea_popescu: fract4l when am i on a camel ?!
fract4l: mircea_popescu: haha... i suppose so. maybe your picture on the camel made people not take you seriously?
mircea_popescu: you can say asshole, i dun mind.
copumpkin: I trust mircea_popescu to be honest
mircea_popescu: a large chunk of the way i designed mpex is so as to empower people to grow their own stuff
copumpkin: but I can't bring myself to
copumpkin: I should sell my MPOE
mircea_popescu: i just got an email from a friend, it goes "hey can i have like 10-20 bux worth of bitcoin cause im testing this service and i lost all the btc i mined on my laptop back in the day"
mircea_popescu: fract4l no. i announced it.
Bones_: greenspan_fan - if anything his website exudes "dude who knows what the fuck he is doing". Not to suck your dick or anything mp but anyway that's how I saw the website
greenspan_fan: I actually bought some options for ibm at wal-mart earlier today, so times are changing
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan what business am i losing ?
Vexual: i guess bp dont want prtd matleb on a machine that has blockchain
nubbins`: i abbreviated blockchain.info
mircea_popescu: provided i wanted to.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if google tweets @me i will sure.
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan or i could add spikes on my cock, to leave better marks on assholes.
ThickAsThieves: i wonder if 2ndmarket used gox
mircea_popescu: <Vexual> i wonder if magicdunce will shoot thru? he must have thousands of high res passports <<< EPIC
nubbins`: i thought the twitter fail whale was neat
Vexual: i wonder if magicdunce will shoot thru? he must have thousands of high res passports
greenspan_fan: nubbins I am angry that I'll have to wait for a year, though
ThickAsThieves: i have only the altcoin twatter
greenspan_fan: also, I think it's supposed to be GNU/eunuchs
greenspan_fan: did you see the latest season? I'd say it was a contender, even sans eunuchs
mircea_popescu: i suppose that article may read differently in light of events.
mircea_popescu: wasn't i explaining before how goxshit isn't worth money ?
Vexual: nub, i think it'd be hard to miss that much btc over time
greenspan_fan: I'm betting julian assange did it, to fund his jihad against america
ozbot: Twitter / MagicalGox: Send me 1BTC and I will resolve ...
mircea_popescu: kinda the only reason i like vessenes. he's so fucking dumb.
kakobrekla: o, now we have gif http://i.imgur.com/T2RudcB.gif
asciilifeform: 'for what have i prepared this beautiful golden stake?'
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, I would like your opinion on https://www.dropbox.com/s/qhl8b6k1rya78xc/209050732-MtGox-Situation-Crisis-Strategy-Draft.pdf
mircea_popescu: i just tried to log into twitter as mircea popsicu
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves now i have to kill you.
mircea_popescu: so i should wake up for the derpage ?
mircea_popescu: i just woke up!
ThickAsThieves: My brother met domain broker Joe Politzer in Singapore who got excited about gox.com and then I said he could try to sell it if he wanted. He called Karpeles and Gox to find out if they wanted it and immediately they expressed pretty strong interest. I’ve asked Mark if it’s ok to publish details (no response as yet).”
Bones_: I'm thinking more like yakuza as you said
greenspan_fan: I am picturing it now: suicide note partially obscured by condensation from the frappuchino placed on top
greenspan_fan: man I am going to feel really bad if gox exec actually off themselves
greenspan_fan: Idk, I am having a great time w/ my array of proxies
nubbins`: i'm being generous
Vexual: pretty good, i might need to be in the mood for it
Vexual: i listened to some earlier
greenspan_fan: I made a molotov cocktail once.
nubbins`: Vexual, have a listen to the album a friend and i recorded: https://atelierbleu.bandcamp.com/album/manicouagan
Bones_: wow, thought it was just some nasty rumor earlier. I come back and poof
greenspan_fan: I am thinking either angry investor puts a hit out w/ the yakuza, or he commits hari kiri. Place your bets.
greenspan_fan: are there any bitcoin death pools? because I don't think karpeles will have been priced properly yet
the20year: I think in between bitfuner and gox, just the inevstors I've talked to have lost 150+btc
greenspan_fan: don't worry, I'm sure gox.com is going to be a huge hit
the20year: I have quite a few investors that have lost out quite a bit of coin at gox
ThickAsThieves: i did tell him to get off like a year ago
ThickAsThieves: hmm i'm just realizing that last i talked to my brother he was using gox as a wallet
the20year: Granted I did cash out part of them at $700
jurov: oh i forgot mpoe is down :(
greenspan_fan: seriously, I would not be surprised if it's higher than ever in a week
jurov: i'd try to postpone that
the20year: I would be too , but I have very little personal cash available for btc, but also sadly have a decent bit of BTC from investors to be converted to fiat to buy property
greenspan_fan: honestly, I'd be buying right around now anyways
the20year: there was some java/ad exploit that took alot of coins from people running XP, and I was one of them, right around the time bitcoin hit like $20 for the first time due to all the silk road press, maybe that was 2011?
the20year: I *got in* on bitcoin in the first 3 months, didn't do me much good by not sticking with it :D
nubbins`: TBH i thought he was talking about sports cars
