mircea_popescu: fluffypony srsly, got a link to the whitepaper's github ? guy's tree's gnarly.
mircea_popescu: i mostly link it to torture people.
mircea_popescu: the_scourge from experience, not even human translation by billingual hands do my prose justice.
mircea_popescu: it is more a function of people being removed from the means of production than anything. no living thing will ever accept its pointlessness. as such, cargo cults and mud pies everywhere.
mircea_popescu: in any case it indicates it's a fallacy older than feudalism.
mircea_popescu: the_scourge myeah. http://trilema.com/2009/capitalism-si-naivitate/ << romanians have the same problem, if it helps anything.
mircea_popescu: cheerios.
mircea_popescu: after which, come back, do something useful with your time, that'll actually be worth money.
mircea_popescu: so now : take that website, give it away or whatever, go to read the logs for the next year or so.
mircea_popescu: actually was it tim. yeah it was tim.
mircea_popescu: Rippleflip tom swanson famously argued the same stuff, from perhaps a better position than you'll find yourself in.
mircea_popescu: ;;google Tim Swanson site:trilema.com
mircea_popescu: !gettrust Rippleflip_
mircea_popescu: Rippleflip_ to put it plainly : someone who does not see being in wot as esential can not possible have yet done anything whatsoever worth any amount at all, in crypto.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony got a link to the actual github in question ?
mircea_popescu: heh mkay.
mircea_popescu: !up Rippleflip_
mircea_popescu: the_scourge i would imagine so, and if not i'll soon find out.
mircea_popescu: or w/e chance at that you might have built over the 1.5 years in question.
mircea_popescu: Rippleflip_ you know, the only moral here is that spending 1.5 years outside of the wot essentially cost you 1250 btc
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell kanzure saw your enumeration incentives thing. lolz were had.
mircea_popescu: srsly, "Textual enumeration of incentives related to Bitcoin software." ?!
mircea_popescu: https://github.com/apoelstra << lol at kanzure
mircea_popescu: you know the guy ?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller you'll have to link a logline.
mircea_popescu: he upgrades a pdf regularly ?
mircea_popescu: pretty much born out of their poverty years, each academic spent some time going "well if i think of it really complicatedly, i won't be so hungry anymore and those won't really be cockroaches"
mircea_popescu: this is pretty much the "us academia" solution to everything. "make it more complicated, people won't notice"
mircea_popescu: ^
mircea_popescu: well there's a difference between wanting and trying things out you know. i also want to find a cure for cancer, but i'm not going around feeding people pills.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=63957.0 << ancient stuff.
mircea_popescu: pretty sure realsolid was the first altscammer.
mircea_popescu: which then got spent.
mircea_popescu: then artforz found it had a hole, and then it changed to having 12 magic nodes with 10 mn "unspendable" coins each
mircea_popescu: and now solidcoin is here to stay!!1
mircea_popescu: if you look, throughout 2011/12 some mentally deficient dank clone spent his time producing prose (not so different from the gavincoin crapolade) professionally explaining how bitcoin is obsolete
mircea_popescu: nah, this was solidcoin
mircea_popescu: wow, realsolid's idea ?
mircea_popescu: what is this staking ?
mircea_popescu: and for other people to be all like "I MAKE MONEY WHILE YOIU SLEEP!!11"
mircea_popescu: kinda what the web even exists these days. for people like mako to be all fucking weird (they call it "altrusitic" of course - http://mako.cc/copyrighteous/the-institute-for-cultural-diplomacy-and-wikipedia )
mircea_popescu: well, web people love that "hyip" thing
mircea_popescu: if this liquidity is natural i'll eat my hat. for one thing, the people interested in alts are interested in alts specifically because they're bitcoin poor. to propose to me that they are 100x more likely to trade btc than usd seems beyond counterintuitive.
mircea_popescu: "24hr Volume: 646.141 BTC / 195.554 XMR / 2838.69 XUSD" nuts.
mircea_popescu: where is the official place to trade monero ?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony is this poloniex thing your folks' ?
mircea_popescu: seems it only exists to trade xmr this thing, since https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_str styill spends 90% of the page listing the xmr market. weird.
mircea_popescu: so according to poloniex, 10 cents worth of stellar (at 0.004) and 64 bitcoins' worth of same (at 0.00whatever) sold in the past what is this, day ?
mircea_popescu: STR0.003871110.080+0.10Stellar
mircea_popescu: STR0.0000165463.358-2.88Stellar
mircea_popescu: a no str
mircea_popescu: is stellar xmr ?
mircea_popescu: oh inside network ?! nobody i know would touch it. inside of what ? got its own wot ?
mircea_popescu: well of coruse you'd assume, no doub on that socre.
mircea_popescu: where does it even trade these days ?
mircea_popescu: can you even sell 10mn "stellar" without ruining the market permanently ?
mircea_popescu: that's whence the 1250 comes from
mircea_popescu: ;;calc 2000 / 21340 * 134
mircea_popescu: ah now i see his logic. so
mircea_popescu: see above.
mircea_popescu: you got 10k ripple seconds and bitbet got 31536000 bitcoin-seconds
mircea_popescu: if someone puts 1 btc for 1 year on bitbet, and someone puts 1000 ripples for 10 seconds on your site,
mircea_popescu: nonono. wagers-time.
mircea_popescu: how do you figure significantly less ?!
mircea_popescu: plus perhaps a little something for the missus ?
mircea_popescu: let me guess, it would roughly repay what you think the valuable value of your time spent on it so far
mircea_popescu: how about 1250 ripples ? or 1250 stellars ?
mircea_popescu: that's cool, but wh ydo you think the site's worth something in bitcoin ? neither ripple nor stellars are worth anything in bitcoin
mircea_popescu: and limited to ripple and "stellar", ie, two dead scamcoins ?
mircea_popescu: so what do these do, exactly ? some sort of coin flip thing ?
mircea_popescu: you know, kinda different story.
mircea_popescu: market-valued.
mircea_popescu: ripp, lef and lip
mircea_popescu: i up noobs anyway ya know.
mircea_popescu: !up BigBitz
mircea_popescu: !up Rippleflip_

mircea_popescu: haha check out the almost-mscomic font.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker. the cheek.
mircea_popescu: place for a bunch of derps to go and be all weird and pretend it's jesus' fault amirite.

mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: http://www.tennessean.com/story/insession/2015/02/03/swingers-club-council/22813945/
mircea_popescu: computers are evil, there's no two ways about it.
mircea_popescu: sarcasm tag's one history!
mircea_popescu: PeterL i hope for the sake of your soul that you're being kako-level sarcastic.
mircea_popescu: not even medicine. not even religion.
mircea_popescu: i dunno of any "profession" "industree" etc ever in history of mankind to be so fucking... i don't even know. inconsistent ? mixed ?
