nahkunt: mircea_popescu: hah, i just read about you
a few minutes ago and now i see you on here...
mircea_popescu: omfg i been trying to eat this sandwich for half
a n hour
benkay: lolstate are you delberately trolling like
a noob or is this the best that you can do?
benkay: lolstate: when
a ship is sinking, what do the occupants do?
ThickAsThieves: i gave
a broad explanation for my severing ties the day i severed them
fluffypony: neo&bee was
a legitimate rival of mpex?
benkay: calling
a scam
a scam = black arts these days
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> ThickAsThieves you srsly want it ? /// well, i'm down for
a test drive in Amsterdam next week
benkay: anyways lolstate from
a statistical perspective, every btc operation is
a scam, and every operator
a priori
a thief.
benkay: this is what we're working towards. not that 'anyone's not
a scammer until they are', but that ther are grownups in the space, and either you deal with them or they fuck off.
bounce: that an open offer? though as
a matter of style one might better sneak in bitcoin foundation gigs and possibly get thrown out in front of cameras
benkay: lolstate: you miss the part where in btc, everyone has to prove they're not
a thief first.
fluffypony: because evidence seems to point that he was dirty, or at the very least incompetent, and this is another in
a string of failures / duck-and-run jobs
lolstate: fluufy: don’r be flippant.
A priori, every human is honest
fluffypony: lolstate: how do you get he wasn't
a thief prior? has he been
a personal friend you've known his whole life?
benkay: <fluffypony> ... spent it all on
a lavish lifestyle. <<
a shame, considering...btc.
lolstate: clearly, he wasn’t
a thief
a priori
fluffypony: ok analysis: Danny is
a thief and was the only one who controlled all the monies. now he's run away with the monies or many spent it all on
a lavish lifestyle. the company has collapsed and disbanded, and the police want to talk to Danny.
lolstate: what?
a kick in the mouth? or… ?
lolstate: I’m going to through out what may be
a trivial question (at first glance): what is up with Neobee?? !
mircea_popescu: is it addiction when you do it
a lot or when yo ucan't stop ?
fluffypony: I just wanted pre-sex wiggling, not
a history lesson
fluffypony: was sexy for
a bit, but she was too serious about it
fluffypony: I dated
a Greek girl who was
a serious belly dancer, she ended up starting her own school
pankkake: well, I have
a belly button fetish, so. :)
mircea_popescu: Me : Then pretty much nobody cares. You wanna play
a sport, might as well go pro or else forget about it.
mircea_popescu: Random twitter self-absorbed priss : This website wants to feature me as
a "Hot Babe”. Should I do it?
fluffypony: yep, I've found
a healthy serving of oats gives me all the fibre I need
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: no, got
a warehouse with decent availability and average Internet tho
GAit: he really liked the way it is applied in
a out of the box way
mircea_popescu: moving on to more interesting stuff. fluffypony you got
a dc in your basement ?
GAit: we are using
a different way of 'greenaddressing' out of band, if you want greenaddress 2.0
bounce: just add neutron-fueled fission, and you have
a safe(-ish) reactor
mircea_popescu: which is also entirely an artefact of your own mind, as yo ucan make
a webpage in fucking lisp ?
GAit: it is
a widely discussed topics when talking about bitcoin and ecdsa
bounce: quantum computing vs cold fusion, there's
a bitbet
GAit: well by then i imagine
a lot of encryption will use quanto techinques
peterl: my dad (
a physicist) worked on quantum computing for
a bit. It's more likely to succeed than cold fusion, but still many years off.
fluffypony: bounce: wasn't there
a major CF exploit last yearish that caused issues on
a bunch of sites?
bounce: anybody still use coldfusion? even though it's apparently
a better php.
bitcoinpete: GAit: and quantum computing isn't
a thing. it's cold fusion until proven otherwise
bounce tried to make
a funny with "swordfish" in it, but failed
bitcoinpete: GAit: there's
a place for address reuse and there's
a place for new address generation
fluffypony: peterl: not really...the current change address functionality is roughly analogous to creating fresh receive addresses every time you receive
a transaction
GAit:
a good point to add to the blog actually
mircea_popescu: that
a campaign against reusing addresses is more
a covert usg op than anything else.
mircea_popescu: GAit the problem is this : i'm pretty well convinced, and i suspect
a lot of people here are similarly convinced,
fluffypony: technically he said you're fucking scum, GAit, if scum is
a pretty person you could consider that
a complement
bitcoinpete: GAit: basically that reusing doesn't have
a place in bitcoin
mircea_popescu: well for instance, Naphex told me
a funny story when we met yest. it went like this :
GAit: well privacy in the sense that if you tell too many people about your [reused] address then it is much easier to make sense, on
a whole, of correlated transaction, especially if more people reuse
bitcoinpete: GAit: this is
a good conversation for everyone to see
GAit: bitcoinpete: can i disturb you on
a PM ?
pankkake: anyway, perhaps use
a good client which supports multiple wallets if you want easy privacy
bitcoingirl: popescu - can I humbly ask you for
a favor
danielpbarron: bitcoinpete: heh, i'd "favorite" your tweet, but I don't want to give twitter
a reason to set my account to "login required to read" mode
ozbot: CRISTIANO RONALDO What-
a-goal! Real-Valencia 2-2
ozbot: Bitcoin: This American Express sponsored documentary feels more like
a commercial for Bitcoin. | cry
ozbot: Book Review: '
A Troublesome Inheritance' by Nicholas Wade - WSJ.com
jurov: heh what
a suspension...i'd even bet whether mp changes bitcoingirl's stance toward bitcoin foundation
mircea_popescu: i'll crush these schmucks too, not
a question of whether,
a question of when i feel like pushing hard enough.
bitcoingirl: yes, i have
a consulting firm in DC where I do this professionally
mircea_popescu: well he also doesn't have
a forbes blog, nor was he invited to the whcd.
mircea_popescu: and i have
a strict girls-only for ambassador roles policy.
mircea_popescu: not at all. i say he's already going, and maybe you have
a drink. he's not my ambassador, because he's
a boy
bitcoingirl: excuse me, I'm obviously not
a tech person - more into economic policy
mircea_popescu: there's
a list of them to the right (oir left). there's also the channel logs, which plenty of people read.
mircea_popescu:
a nick is
a name. for instance, your nick is bitcoingirl
mircea_popescu: ok, one at
a time. irc is the network we're in. it's like
a sort of skype, only works
a lot better.
mircea_popescu: bitcoingirl it's the irc nick of john carvalo,
a bitcoin guy.
mircea_popescu: so, im looking for
a mpex ambassador. dja know what mpex i ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu:
a sadbox is where Jimmothy goes
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, jurov i'm refering to this incident when one of his fellow hunter was killed during
a hunt
moiety: they will rip your face off without
a second thought Apocalyptic :D
davout: jurov: nah, was on
a week end too :D
davout: jurov: what's
