jcpham: i have one of those spycoins
asciilifeform: sd card (or rolled up printout) would be gentler on the rectum, i imagine, than a coin.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: No because I would be that guy who made a typo. Casascius is more competent than I in that regard
Bugpowder: I've got a roll of 50 in a safe deposit box.
mircea_popescu: <Bugpowder> nobody paid attention when I posted it to reddit on the 28th. People needed a wired article to make it news. << ridiculous, isn't it.

deadweasel: holy shit I wasn't kidding

dexX7: i heard that there are some cheap already redeemed casascius coins on ebay
the20year: i wonder how many fakes there are out there
nubbins`: i should design a trezor-looking HID that, when connected, sends "[windows-r], www.mydomain.com/horsedick.avi, [enter]"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lol that's what i thought too, when i first heard of it.
nubbins`: go to a store and say "hey, can i just plug this keyboard into your POS and type a bunch of commands in? i'll only be like half an hour"
nubbins`: i mean, a goddamn HID
nubbins`: i can't wait until the first malicious fake trezors hit the streets.
nubbins`: the best part about leaving windows behind is being able to say "sorry, i don't know anything about that shit" when asked to troubleshoot computer problems for family members

nubbins`: anyway, i do recall trying out a virtual boy in a store
nubbins`: and i had to spend two goddamn weeks reading the instruction manual for that game before i could play it
nubbins`: i recall seeing a virtual boy set up on a counter in a department store the day i bought super mario 3
kanzure: android-linux i mean
kanzure: well it runs linux so people can just flash whatever they want on it i assume
asciilifeform: i thought 'glass' was just a peripheral for the 'android phone' ?
Kleeck: pigeons! I had a VirtualBoy as well! MarioTennis was awesome.
asciilifeform: pigeons: funnily, the only game console i've ever bought was virtual boy. to tear apart for the optics, when trying to build a binocular version of the p4.

nubbins`: my plan is to skulk around until i figure out a way to cajole or barter my way into a free account on coinbr or mpex
asciilifeform: damn, never even heard of the '9000' thing before today. clearly i should spend more time reading memes and less maths...

ThickAsThieves: I'll have to wait like everyone else
ThickAsThieves: i have an early bet on Yes too
