pankkake: I was expecting you to troll us, kakobrekla
kakobrekla: i dunno
nubbins`: tbh i was waiting for an AMAZING COMPANY! earlier
pankkake: I'm too much of a scrooge to ever pay for those things
nubbins`: i think most people doing that don't have fun
mircea_popescu: yup. i ate a lot of those.
nubbins`: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koh-i-Noor_Hardtmuth
mircea_popescu: koh-i-noor
nubbins`: as an aside, i find "scammor" to be a pleasant, if unintentional, spelling
mircea_popescu: i suppose when people localise shit how it sounds in english is not a consideration.
Namworld: Couldn't they have just changed the y for an i? Monopoli
mircea_popescu: i think so
ThickAsThieves: [17:44] <ThickAsThieves> Wrong, i just stated its purpose. Without Altcoin, all altcoins would be purposeless.
jurov: i vote for porting bernankoin
mircea_popescu: i thought they were pumping it together.
pizzaman1337: mircea_popescu: well, nice work. It's just hard to believe, I suppose.
asciilifeform: all of this quite possible. u.s. reportedly had some very spiffy logistics code in gulf war I.
asciilifeform: me, i was never master, only an armchair archaeologiest.
mircea_popescu: well it just goes to show i don't realy master that space :)
mircea_popescu: "You really are a fucking idiot and have no idea what you are talking about. The project I am working on will be more successful than twitter within a year. When I sell the project for 40 million dollars I will ignore any emails from you begging to be a part of it and will send you a postcard from my yaght."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he never published the source, but i dug up a good bit of it via FOIA requests.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that one.
mircea_popescu: thermos is now taking goat's coin ? how much difference does a year make when you're 25, i swear.
ThickAsThieves: i will use adobe to slay him!
mircea_popescu: i think he does it for like 100 bux, prolly cheapest.
ThickAsThieves: thats partly why i want the source
mircea_popescu: back to the age old "speculator's fault! i swear!"
mircea_popescu: "Everyone that is saying that I have some kind of gambling addiction is a douche and they can go and die in hell. I have never had and I will never had a fucking gambling problem."
pankkake: I've read a designer blog or something, yeah… I don't envy them
mircea_popescu: pankkake it's a step up from designerhell's commonplace "i can't pay you but you should do it for fun anyway".
pankkake: "I can't pay you, but would you like some shares of my facebook for dogs website?"
mircea_popescu: i love how he's taking the entire absurdist angle up to 11
pankkake: kinda like paying contractors with shares, I think
mircea_popescu: "With zero premine... I'm not criticising, just wondering how you can pay bounties?" see, you're doing it right already.
ThickAsThieves: [14:05] <BlueMatt> you could dump the genesis block via rpc, I think
ThickAsThieves: okay i will need a lil help with the Altcoin source
asciilifeform: it isn't like you and i were there and heard what was said.
Duffer1: oh i just read: "Asked if Downing Street really intended to close down the Guardian if it did not comply, Robbins confirmed: "I'm saying this."
asciilifeform: then, do the obvious (or do i have to draw a picture.)
ThickAsThieves: i like that domain name, cute
ThickAsThieves: i never realized how useful paulo coelho quotes could be in our world
asciilifeform: what i meant was, without retching
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can read anything.
mircea_popescu: i am curious whether overall the value of the guy to the cia was greater than the value of the cia to the guy.
jurov: kakobrekla i know i just wanted to start something. when it gets bad i'll migrate to something more customized
mircea_popescu: i love a good caper.
ThickAsThieves: I decided it prudent not to go convincing people to list ATC til i get that source code
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i tell you, if #bitcoin-assets trollcoin made on a lark ends up disloging doge, you will have SO MUCH angry wanna-be financial darklord butthurt on your hands
mircea_popescu: i keep telling these doods altcoins are useful, and they only don't throw things at me because i'm fucking scary.
kakobrekla: when i went saying such things
kakobrekla: 3 months ago i was getting ripped
Apocalyptic: i don't follow the scamining scene
mircea_popescu: paying forum shills now i see
Apocalyptic: i don't specifically recall these quotes though
Apocalyptic: i've seen it
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic if you've ever seen V for vendetta, there's that scene with "i've already killed you"
ThickAsThieves: i will see that one implemented before i die!
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, a matter of days i guess
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves somehow i suspect it's not getting accepted :p
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic it's not necessarily true. if you won't live in a world without cunt, and right this second i turn all women's crotch into angels' how long would it be before you realise i did it ?
pankkake: I think there are too many blocks per second and thus even my good finds get rejected
pankkake: I guess the bet could be "altcoin difficulty to be exactly X", but I don't know what could be a good number
pankkake: I'm not mining anything now :(
mircea_popescu: did i see 1024 altscamcoin difficulty earlier ? that means you missed no quadrupling yet ?!
gribble: High Fidelity - Wikiquote: <http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/High_Fidelity>; This One Time I Met John Cusack And It Changed Everything ...: <http://thoughtcatalog.com/phoenix-askani/2013/05/this-one-time-i-met-john-cusack-and-it-changed-everything/>; John Cusack, Gen X's Favorite Antihero | Mother Jones: <http://www.motherjones.com/media/2008/07/mojo-interview-john-cusack>
ThickAsThieves: i always considered myself instinctively above average with body language
mircea_popescu: i suspect the reason is people tend to spend more time looking at other bits, and so lack practice.
mircea_popescu: possibly, tho i find female facials easier to read than males.
Duffer1: i'd be surprised if it took 15 years
mircea_popescu: and tbh i kinda feel for him. sadly tho, they also can't be helped, because... as tat points out, "The problem here is that you have no mechanism with which to do so, and that because language is not employed for the purpose you imagine it employed."
mircea_popescu: so i can understand why a 50 something guy with a bunch of gold bars and no functioning linux distro is fucking pissed at bitcoin.
decimation: I find the goldbug's (enemies of the fiatists) objections to bitcoin to be amusing, because they complain about the lack of physicality.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i bet.
ThickAsThieves: I actually know a guy that manages contract negotiations between governments and mines
mircea_popescu: my objection, and i'm confident the thing that sunk the project (not for it being mine, but for it being sound) is simply this :
mircea_popescu: what i mean by this is : romania sits on a mountain of gold. it was the main source of minable gold for the roman empire, when they finally conquered dacia the local king's treasury financed 100 days of straight games with plenty left over.
decimation: Sorry. He has his good moments, but I agree he is a spaz
pankkake: I don't know, I don't think I kept those. I've seen a few novels too. crazy stuff
decimation: Yes. I read it earlier and now I re-read it. So the transcendental nature of Bitcoin describes its ontology. Bitcoin's effect on the world of humans is more like that of a soveirgn state.
nubbins`: somewhere, someone is wondering "i wonder if that's been done..."
ThickAsThieves: that is exactly the only reason i enjoy some anime and asian horror, no taboo
nubbins`: did i tell you about the drawing i found when cleaning out the rental after the last tenants?
pankkake: I have seen those, but they're not japanese
mircea_popescu: i use the same stereotype :)
nubbins`: i'm sure there's a "manga" of everything
nubbins`: lel, i kid
mircea_popescu: this seems kind-of obvious, i thought teh people making them were creative and like... taboo-less
Duffer1: Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang - kate wilhelm i believe
Duffer1: the only thing i can think of that comes close isn't a manga
mircea_popescu: apparently i broke his client.
nubbins`: heh, as soon as i hit enter
nubbins`: i wonder how much of humans' love for cheese, yogurt, cured meats, fermented dishes, etc etc is bacteria telling us what to eat
mircea_popescu: i wrote about this at some point, in romanian.
nubbins`: i read an article about gut flora of natural vs c-section births recently
mircea_popescu: jborkl i got liek 19 inches of pure love throbbin' here :D
