mircea_popescu: the problem with this approach is that once challenged, they can not i nfact produce a list of what they did.
mircea_popescu: anyway, a point of strategy, which i think everyone'll appreciate cuz it's lulzy. so : the scam foundation and its merry band of power rangers have very carefully constructed this situation where "nobody knows" what's what and whence it came and where it's going, because they (wrongly) perceived that ownership of an opaque codebase will guarantee them control and continued relevance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yteah i am quite unhappy with an' suspicious of the current avenues for fixing "open source" software.

mircea_popescu: actually... quarter i guess. buncha people left last year too didn't they. is murky boy still involved ?
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, i marked mtgox for death in april, they struggled to prop it for six months before abandoning it ignominously, i do not believe they do not know they can not stand.
mircea_popescu: yeah, a lot of ground has been lost since the hearn attack.
mircea_popescu: beautyon anyway, for a very instructive example of how the courts work for bitcoin "captn's of industry", there's that recent hashfast debacle
mircea_popescu: anyway, he's welcome to participate in bitcoin just as soon as he completes his log reading stage and persuades anyone his head's not full of straw.
mircea_popescu: i have my doubts he's allowed to commit anything past words in this matter.
mircea_popescu: beautyon who then ? that guy with a blog, whatever it was called ?
mircea_popescu: so... it's a wart in full process of taking care of itself.
mircea_popescu: they recently announced "they will focus on btc core", ie, "we can't afford anything past gavin's salary". and not even that for all of 2015.
mircea_popescu: vessenes' outta dough, the rest of the scammers involved are barely solvent and burried under tons of lawsuits (karpeles, caleb, ver, kenna, you name it)
mircea_popescu: i don't know that vessenes' happy scamfarm is or ever was involved in anything to do with standards.
mircea_popescu: i fully expect them to try, fail, and then spend the next six months writing how mp is a scammer all over reddit/the boy's bathroom

mircea_popescu: beautyon i don't think you understand how the us politico mind works.
mircea_popescu: i had plainly forgotten that article, imagine my surprise when i see an unfamilir title called up and the server actually respond.

mircea_popescu: beautyon even if a vast majority of miners switch it still doesn't do anything for him.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo am i thick or is the answer about as related to what it quotes as gavin's "covered" is related to economy ?
mircea_popescu: wtf bs "right to be forgotten". there's no such right, unless they're forgotten they're remembered.
mircea_popescu: i'm counting it as a marketing expense, unless we win, in which case hey, free money.
mircea_popescu: but one can readily understand why a verizon for dns is worse than any alternative.
mircea_popescu: the agenda of computing security is moved towards increased pwnability in the exact same way and for the exact same reasons the agenda of political discussion is moved towards increasing socialism.

mircea_popescu: but that'll happen before "quantumcomputing" of any description, so...
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, that's kind of what that's designed with in mind. if we get quantum boxes, gossipd will be the killer app for it)
