novusordo: some OTCers made
a channel for it, don't remember what it was
novusordo: it was fun to play for BTC
a year or so back
benkay: with
a TB blockchain, they may become necessary.
BCB: kakobrekla, I'm writing
a bash implementation of
a blockchain parser and I needed to take
a break
kakobrekla: BCB the questions you are asking re people and stuff have mostly been talked about. search around the logs and blogs, this is not
a spoonfeeding party
mircea_popescu: people are slow to learn this lesson, especially because otherwise good guys with
a diploma imagine retarded shit
a la "everyone is entitled to their own opinion" and eschew sucking their cocks.
benkay: BCB: i've yet to read
a thing from him that was particularly useful. granted, i've not dug in depth.
mircea_popescu: BCB there's
a lengthy history of dubious ventures enlisting otherwise good guys who are
a little bit naive and
a little bit in over their head.
benkay: inability to distinguish between people who say things that sound nice to your ears and people who routinely make good calls is the source of
a lot of wasted BTC.
nubbins`:
A+++++ would trust based on name
BCB: benkay, tuur demeester was
a big proponent of neo and bee
benkay: hey youse guise today i learned bitcoin doesn't have the discipline to be
a monopoly
benkay: BCB: save your cash and assume anything on Havelock is
a scam.
benkay:
a++ rating would read again
nubbins`: nod, worst that usually happens is that people start thinking you're
a bit odd
tg2: Just getting yourself into
a dangerous predicament because of it
tg2: I think you could probably kill yourself as
a result of taking to much lsd
nubbins`: great way to get
a permanent thousand-yard stare
nubbins`: "
A guy orders 25 hits. I send him
a 5x5 sheet. His feedback reads "The hit was very large but I managed to fit it in my mouth. The lines were neat. Good trip". I wonder if the guy thought the 25 hits were one!?"
nubbins`: we're technically not sellouts until we get airplay on
a station that isn't supported by tax dollars ;D
nubbins`: bit too racy for 10am on
a sunday, i guess
mircea_popescu: conversely, maybe only getting comments from people who know git is
a blessing.
AccountantPierre: true. Appreciate your thoughts. If people knew git they could do
a pull request with their comment
mircea_popescu: the main focus should be much better integration. i can appreciate that
a trained accountant wants to keep things well separate
mircea_popescu: "There's no bigger joke than this mpex dude and his army of spamtroll donkeys." that's funny, because the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing
a bunch of forum derps that he's running the largest shill stable in the world without having to actually pay
a cent for it.
AccountantPierre: benkay: I'll get started on making one, I need it
a lot as twenty something
mircea_popescu: generally speaking you have no better way to ruin
a first impression on the web than unsourced material
mircea_popescu: can you picture
a woman buying dildos from those two guys ?
benkay: put it on
a pleasure throne, moiety
mircea_popescu: so to sum up, the piece suffers from the same problem illustrated by the opening cartoon :
a mostly banal piece with very poor references. surely people outside of the mises circle must have written about these matters, perhaps for years.
AccountantPierre: huh, didn't know they publish that. I'm
a big tent kind of guy, I post in the foundation forums
benkay: are those collections available as
a single file?
benkay: "
A braindamaged assumption is that on account of any sort of “qualifications” or simply on account of your existence you’re pretty cool and certainly equal to anyone else. "
gribble: Error: Could not find
a pending authentication request from your hostmask. Either it expired, or you changed hostmask, or you haven't made one.
tg2: Has
a phd in this field
mircea_popescu: this is such
a weak statement. sex with whatever has at hand has been commonplace since forever,
mircea_popescu: and the two look like
a sort of midwestern bouvard & pecuchet
nubbins`: i shouted JESUS CHRIST and the nice customs man stomped it to
a paste
nubbins`: all they found on me was
a GIGANTIC SPIDER hidden in my hammock
nubbins`: never saw
a man lose color so quickly
nubbins`: i mean if the guard wasn't such
a dick he'd have
a glass of secure water on the other side of the xray
mircea_popescu: "It’s 2010, and
a passenger is trying to bring her live goldfish through security. One of my co-workers informs her that the fish can go through but the water cannot. The woman is on the verge of tears"
[KS]: "<mircea_popescu> like you know... i'm an allegedly me sort of thing" - I can see
a quote coming... :)
kakobrekla: its
a bitcoin with if rand() ==== 4; goto fail;
ozbot: digital interface: Strangecoin:
a nonlinear currency
mircea_popescu: [KS] eh get out, you're an otherwise smart fellow about to paint himself in
a corner trying to argue nonsense of the sake of nonsense.
nubbins`: "i pasted
a bunch of lines out of context in the forums, didn't link to the log, or even bother putting it inside
a quote block. this guarantees that not only will nobody read it, but nobody who does can even verify its authenticity. i think you should pay me."
nubbins`: "we can make
a hardware wallet"
mircea_popescu: anyone thinking they can build
a business out of paying ratecard has got
a whole other layer of things wrong with their head.
chetty: I'll gladly pay you on Tuesday for
a hamburger today
mircea_popescu: generally you let
a customer walk with
a few k's, then they pay that... takes someone even mid level many years to work themselves up to where they can run
a tab in the millions
kakobrekla: its something you answer with yes or no, not
a smiley face
VanCleef: i like it when she bites...just
a lil bit no raking
gribble: Error: "KS" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: however, i never realised it, and so i can book
a gain on that buy now if i feel like it.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the liquidity problem of
a crypto coin is problematic. i could present the following argument that atc actually has better liquidity :
turbo_ac100: (16:37:25) mircea_popescu: MisterE: heh, I got
a little nervous nelly today, thought we were going to test 400, so I sold some coin for 484 that I bought at 505 :/ << that's how fortunes are made. << oracle of delphi, alexander the great
mircea_popescu: people will expend as much energy as they're willing to expend, how many hashes that yields is
a purely conventional measure
mircea_popescu: MisterE: heh, I got
a little nervous nelly today, thought we were going to test 400, so I sold some coin for 484 that I bought at 505 :/ << that's how fortunes are made.
mircea_popescu: trying to imagine the world is such
a mind boggling exercise.
ThickAsThieves: and they probably issue it themselves as
a token of some sort
MGK: and I have
a decent amount now figured id ask about them
mircea_popescu: moiety it's an expense thing. expensive carpeting is expensive to maintain. gorgeous ceilings are
a one time only sort of expense.
moiety: i've had
a fair bit of idiocy to catch up on after ignoring btctalk existance for quite some time
mircea_popescu: oh, but nothing can ever dull the pain of dissaproval by
a bunch of anon tards on
a forum somewhere.
mircea_popescu: oh you know, all butthurt about how nobody is using mpex anymore because i'm
a dinosaur
chetty:
a bit messy in court when the taxpayer is funding both sides
andyfletcher: Bit of
a gray area. If UK foreign aid is supporting regimes who are abusing the local population then I don't have too much of an issue with
a legal aided challenge to it regardless of who is doing the challenge
punkman1: so
a farmer gets legal aid from UK, to sue the UK for sending too much money
punkman1: I heard neobee is launching
a coin this week
andyfletcher has inherited 1,000,00 NigeriaCoin from
a relative in Lagos and needs help transferring them
MisterE: heh, I got
a little nervous nelly today, thought we were going to test 400, so I sold some coin for 484 that I bought at 505 :/
ozbot: If you back
a Kickstarter project that sells for $2 billion, do you deserve to get rich? | The Verge
bounce: asciilifeform: point was rather that the acorn archimedes is closer to
a modern computer than an 80s micro.
