tg2: you have to get invited by
a member with positive rep
tg2: why couldn't the otc/vouch system work for
a forum?
mike_c: so someone creates
a thread to get herp banned, and that dipshit bans mpoe-pr instead. classic forum.
nubbins`: good, 'cause that was
a real downer
mircea_popescu: antephialtic there's
a diference between clueless and stupid.
cazalla: he's not even
a media contact to much butthurt for him
BCB: is Andreas M. Antonopoulos
a core dev?
antephialtic: b-
a is great, but there is
a lot of benefit to
a threaded discussion format
mike_c: you are describing b-
a. study guide is the wiki.
antephialtic: I'd rather have
a forum for the 20% of competent people using bitcoin, than
a wasteland for those unwilling or uncapable of learning
cazalla: i dunno antephialtic, that seems
a reasonable question to me for someone new to bitcoin
mike_c: and it can't be on b-
a :) bad juju
mircea_popescu: antephialtic the problem with any exam that doesn't also include
a firing squad is that it creates
a class of niggers.
mike_c: if you want to kill bitcointalk, you need to create
a new forum. it will fill with retards eventually, but it would solve the second problem.
mircea_popescu: one is that people generally are stupid. this, we knew going in, not
a problem.
mike_c: i think it is admirable to try to provide
a path out of there through mpoe-pr, but if they don't want it..
mike_c: that cesspool hardly needs killing. it's already
a wasteland.
mircea_popescu: was looking for
a way out for
a while. reducing .org to the status of
a lousy scrapper of .lk seems perfect.
kakobrekla: not much of
a gain just using org directly with moar accounts
pankkake: is there
a list of moderators?
nubbins`: 23:21:29nubbins`:on what's log.b-
a? going with
kakobrekla: imagine you went to
a gallery when you watch it :)
bounce: oh, that guy appears to've been dead for
a good 150 years. oh well.
bounce: what, there's still
a vaguely functioning feudal system going on?
bounce: well I s'pose that gave you
a bit of
a headstart "researching" the bitcoin zoo
mircea_popescu: i mean... guys like iancu jianu. ex road robber, caught, tried, sentenced to hang, saved by ancient rule that noble virginz may save
a convicted felon by marrying him
Mats_cd03:
a surprising number of national origin stories are basically that
mircea_popescu: there's also many cultural factors at play. for instance, in
a culture which is fundamentally defeatist and patently insane, like romania's,
Jason: Mats_cd03: i came to -assets to share my story of being randomly banned with no explanation and being completely denied support. had my business of been in full swing with square, it would be
a rather large problem.
mircea_popescu: person 1 : "I personally don't believe that Neo&Bee is
a scam, but very well said. Just becuase there is an easier way to steal money that the scammers passed up doesn't mean it's not
a scam."
kakobrekla: wasnt this discussed like
a day or two ago
Jason: mircea_popescu: not
a clue
Jason: i did and never got
a response. i'll try again. maybe they changed stuff around
Jason: er - that's
a little concerning
artifexd: mircea_popescu "Take
a picture with
a shoe on your head" is
a thing redditors use to prove that you are who you say you are.
benkay: i don't know man. i think relationship with this client calls for
a little subtlety
pankkake: oh, right. not
a thing I'd tell my parents either
benkay: not really
a good idea to say 'fuck it' mid deploy conversation.
benkay: i'm staring at my email, billing by the quarter hour, waiting for someone to drop the ball hard enough for me to call off
a deploy on my own.
benkay: i'd rather be hacking on
a bitcoin thing and not getting paid right now.
joecool: mircea_popescu: many of the girls you post in here lack shoes, i am trying to solve
a shortage of shoes in pictures
benkay: just
a motley collection of individuals, with individual tastes and preferences.
joecool: blackwhite:
a picture with shoe on head will suffice
benkay: if you hadn't made
a claim, that'd be
a different story.
benkay: you've made
a claim, blackwhite.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i originally asked him because i was going to give him
a 1 if he can prove it, but seems he ignored it for some reason
pankkake: since they did not read the text I was sending them, I ended up sending
a goatse
mircea_popescu: and perhaps, if i feel in
a good mood, "get in the wot"
pankkake: I spent
a week trying to verify my "identity" with
a french paypal-like
mircea_popescu: it may not make much sense for brick and mortar small businesses
a la meze grill
benkay: for whom has accepting bitcoin been
a big business booster?
benkay: sets us up for
a deploy this afternoon
bounce: actually acrobat supports way beyond what's decent for
a pdf reader
kakobrekla: dunno, prolly with
a powerpoint plugin
Mats_cd03: similarly to how the f-15 and -16 worked together in
a mix of relative low and high tech
Mats_cd03: anyway,
a final word regarding the f-35 vs f-22 conversation...
ozbot: digital interface: Strangecoin:
a nonlinear currency
bounce: re strangecoin, I get the feeling I can stop reading after this: ``Of course, when I give you
a dollar for
a burger that's not really
a zero sum transaction, because otherwise we wouldn't be motivated to enter into the transaction in the first place.'' -- conflating currency-mediated transactions with barter
bounce:
a little perspective here, some tidbits there, add it together and the picture isn't pretty
pLambert: guesses as to whether it will repeat
a third time?
pLambert: ack, wth asciilifeform, use
a link
