wywialm: well, socialism sometimes vs socialism always is
a difference even in principle and not only in quantity - the market is still the default in keynesianism
dexx: > they used
a blow torch to try to cut open the bomb
MisterE: What do you do when you work at
a scrapyard and someone brings in an unexploded WW2 bomb?
VanCleef: ima make
a lil list of the last 2 years anyway
bounce: seems to me
a bit of
a mistaking the road for the horse
bounce: ``Now, whilst some might welcome the reduction in the state caused by
a loss of taxation, the state is THE key economic driver of innovation, prosperity and social mobility.'' -- this widely accepted in economists' circles?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: it is always one thing to read
a philosophical bit, and another to taste it on one's sorry skin << do tell ?
mircea_popescu: zacm: so this is disconcerting to see the lemmings on bitcointalk cheer on us gov action against mpex people. bitcoin community must be eagerly anticipating govcoin i guess << i wouldn't read too much into the derpage of
a coupla tards tbh.
BingoBoingo: Pirate disappeared
a quarter million BTC, TradeFortress disappeared 4000, Danny disappeared 1200. Soon we will get down to
a single BTC being
a newsworthy heist
BingoBoingo: Eh, it seems by his retelling he could only disappear
a quarter of what inputs.io disappeared. Progress-ish
antephialtic: were
a white knight to save them, all the existing shareholders would get wiped out anyways
VanCleef: someone should make

VanCleef: but yeh i hope MP books

BingoBoingo: This is the problem that happens when Facebook is allowed to IPO and
a shitty Facebook game is allow to IPO soon after
peterl: I just started
a new thread for people to continue the discussion. I doubt, however, that he will answer in it.
benkay: "In several cases my changes take the form of
a Turing-complete program that dynamically modifies the upstream source code in several attempts until it passes tests. I’m not kidding."
Mats_cd03: and i just noticed it embedded
a link from gist
Mats_cd03: i can do that on

a thai prostitute
Mats_cd03: i figure if btc goes up in ten years or less i can retire to
a beach in asia
stompysteve: what does he have
a fake family now too lol
stompysteve: you would think someone would have maybe made like
a half ass statement or something by now
nubbins`: wellllll, still
a tip-two ring-sleeve jack
nubbins`: suppose you could make one out of an old tape recorder and
a few lines of objective-c
MisterE: pretty good side by side comparison, obviously the old model is just
a magnetic head
nubbins`: MisterE yep, turn
a tablet into
a PoS
MisterE: just what stores with
a rack of 8 readers need, another one
nubbins`: ah hey, Square gives you
a free card reader when you sign up for an account
nubbins`: MisterE: it's
a real thing, imagine ;D
nubbins`: but yes, at the time he stopped, he no doubt had
a massive pile of btc
nubbins`: depends, maybe
a hundred bucks for
a brass
kakobrekla: should make
a special btc logo featured turdtwister
nubbins`: i wouldn't pay
a satoshi over 15
nubbins`: joecool i've seen rubes offering upwards of 25btc, but this is
a guaranteed loss.
Ken`: will mtgox yubikeys ever become
a collector's item?
nubbins`: percentage over face isn't
a great way to price them, it's better to think in terms of absolute value over face
dexX7_: re: mpoe-pr ban ... was this an april fools joke? i don't see any sign of
a ban
joecool: on those coins? they hold
a nice premium
mike_c: those things are such
a crapshoot. you have to trust the whole chain of people who have ever touched it.
nubbins`: but i'm not about to buy
a coin off some random noob with no trust ;p
nubbins`: "I've been reconsidering my finances and I'm not sure I am in
a position to hold on to this collectors item"
nubbins`: heh,
a guy i sold
a casascius coin to has decided he really can't afford it and is wondering if i'll buy it back from him
Mats_cd03:
a tsunami is coming towards your home
KRS-One: If anyone spots
a tsunami lemme know.
nubbins`: ^ early draft of
a poster we're working on
MisterE: so
a comment is not allowed being that the world and this chanel doesn't revolve around your time zone?
BingoBoingo: At least I didn't try translating the thing to
a LISP first
BingoBoingo: Well, there's programing, programming well, copypasta, and then just being
a dick to
a REPL prompt
BingoBoingo: Well, the history of ventures without MP as
a coauthor on MPEx hasn't been spectacular with X.EUR's fate undetermined as of yet. Maybe davout should be included in the asked as well.
BingoBoingo: blurden: She did PR work for mircea_popescu on the forum. And was banned yesterday. Only real ourcomes is the forum is nao shittier and MPEx loses
a recurring expense.
benkay: all that cortisol's gotta hurt after
a while
benkay: she needs
a break anyways
kakobrekla: ;;rate turbo_ac100 1 did
a firefox plugin for bitbet
turbo_ac100: second to last line there is
a 'template=' part pointing to mycroft that *shouldn't* be needed since you can't use the template anyway
turbo_ac100: The "template" part should be axed. The mail address used was
a meltmail.
benkay: but it sounds
a little defocused.
benkay: think about it for
a while
tg2: you're asking how
a situation like that could have been mitigated by sucha trust organization?
tg2: like
a hybrid ISO and compliance board
tg2: sort of like
a whoisguard but that holds the parties behind it responsible and sets up audit procedures and processes they have to follow
tg2: I think there is
a need for this kind of liability secured "trust"
mike_c: we need
a trusted auditing company like Arthur Anderson
HeySteve: working on
a Proof of Trust coin. the Web of Trust has been an inspiration
tg2: it allows exchanges to prove to
a certain degree of trust that that they are solvent without having to show their cold wallets to everybody
benkay: seems
a bit premature. there's barely anyone to trust in the first place, much less people in whom one can trust instead of actually trusting your counterparty.
neilol: yeah dignork you're right. I'm thinking something like
a KPMG or Deloitte would do
tg2:
a hybrid bond/certification system
neilol: its definitely
a business
tg2: maybe not like insurance, but instead
a certification
benkay: well given that 99% of 'bitcoin companies' are barely concealed scams, the thing doesn't fly unless you can point at
a potential customer that's not
a scam.
dexX7: and reddit rumors mentioned
a "big player"
tg2: any companies, they companies would pay the insurance as
a sign of faith against insolvency
dexX7: well, there are afaik
a few who want to open an insurance serivce.. even this twobitsidiot
