I'm starting to get kind of interesting in this idea of poaching talent from places that aren't East St Louis.
Duffer1:
i "watched" a live stream of the battle on twitch.tv
herbijudlestoids:
i gotta admit the description of the battle was quite interesting for someone who has never played the game
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves:
i read about that on slashdot, some interesting comments, some people put the value at half or less, a lot of people mentioned how reading about EVE battles is better than the battles :P
herbijudlestoids: im a professional spruiker but
i already got a job
i like and also much further away from vegas :P
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: If
I still was active on Eve the best
I could have supplied for that would have been a gnat like thing full of viscious, still more gnat like things.

mircea_popescu: no, that's the beauty of it.

mircea_popescu: so that this thing may ruin the faces and lives of people
i don't like.
mircea_popescu: because

i wish to exist. bitcoin is essential to this, and so here
i am doing things
i don't particularly wish to do on their own,
herbijudlestoids:

BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Betting is a chore.
I could not imagin the pain of running a venture.

i knew someone in online sports advertising but it was music and the business has been sold to VICE anyway
ThickAsThieves: you know the imaginary hotshot pro
i made up in my head
mircea_popescu: then
i'd have their book, go through the past 20 years, talk to everyone.
mircea_popescu: because
i'd have to have a bank do it for me, and
i'd have to impose they interface btc, which they don;'t wish to do etc.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yes, but
i can't do that while random fuckwits keep smoking pot and getting arrested.

I prolly ought to look harder at who runs them.

i would love to target high net work bettors, strictly to hear why they think it sucks.
mircea_popescu: which is a question that has to be resolved bfore
i throw money at marketing people.
mircea_popescu: it would seem so, but
i have suspicions that it's simply a question of there not being a market.
BingoBoingo:
I mean the people who claim to bitcoin sportsbet seem to overlap with the BTC poker people
