mircea_popescu: check this shit out!
mircea_popescu: “Eventually, law enforcement knew and anticipated needing to enter the residence, in order to take the subject into custody. Based upon the information being developed through interviews and practices used by other agencies in the past, it became necessary to breech part of the outside area of the house to ensure the safety of all involved.”
mircea_popescu: lol.
mircea_popescu: it's not clear they actually have any bitcoin tho.
mircea_popescu: why, got a bitcoin ?
mircea_popescu: this is a good idea.
mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: "finally, my toes no longer iced"
mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: how the fuck can all this be accomodated in whatever Xtown.
mircea_popescu: i know chicks that principally like the sea/desert. i like forrested hills. you're apparently some sort of scrub bush apache stock.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, this is a point often skirted by the "paradise on earth" folk, be they "bitcoin country" or anything-else-country (loads of these historically) : not everyone likes thesame!
mircea_popescu: not really my cup, but then again we can't all gaggle in the same spots.
mircea_popescu: likely.
mircea_popescu: this one, however... this one succeeded.
mircea_popescu: it's very interesting to me from an anthropological pov, because you see, at the time everything was "empire", from film studios to pond shops.
mircea_popescu: probably the source of all the cowboy and indian stories. and, notably, the first ranch where the queen bee woman actually settled down on the premises.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "In its heyday, Empire Ranch was one of the largest in Arizona, with a range spanning over 180 miles, and its owner, Walter L. Vail, was an important figure in the establishment of southern Arizona's cattle industry."
mircea_popescu: i tell you, i look at those guys, i kinda wanna be friends.

mircea_popescu: i'm paying 2btc (once) in return for a single btc stolen from bitstamp's aws cloud after today. comes with a signed certificate. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: well, let's verify this most secure computer environments claim.
mircea_popescu: o.O
mircea_popescu: hey, glad i didn't bet.
mircea_popescu: how does that work ?
mircea_popescu: apparently bitcoin isn't half as revolutionary as we had thought. internet scammers had the exact same problems long prior.
mircea_popescu: "You can't tell them anything that will change their minds. You have to show them that money can be made online by actually doing it yourself. Don't be influenced by the nay-sayers, just prove them wrong."
mircea_popescu: lawl.
mircea_popescu: by Dorian Anthony, 4th January 2015"
mircea_popescu: Main Internet Marketing Discussion
mircea_popescu: "What do you tell family when they say IM is a scam?
mircea_popescu: qualified enough then!
mircea_popescu: um. you wrote an alt-exchange at some point iirc ?
mircea_popescu: alrighty.
mircea_popescu: can you implement the deedbot spec ?
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, what are you doing these days ?
mircea_popescu: !s from:MolokoDesk
mircea_popescu: no, in reference to some derp that implemented the first version and made an utter mess of it.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, if i find out the molokization of deedbot v2.0 actually has anything to do with your meddling, i'll negrate you too.
mircea_popescu: i hope i make myself clear.
mircea_popescu: you're not welcome to keep pestering people in pms, and deedbot will be reimplemented for the third time.
mircea_popescu: punkman is off the deedbot project after the horrid failure of the past month, and i've only not neg rated him yet because gribblewas off.
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol no, it is not going in the right direction.
mircea_popescu: you are! you must be!
mircea_popescu: ahahahaha you're pulling my leg
mircea_popescu: where they print 3d natural satellites.
mircea_popescu: i hope hje's partenering with kenna to start a moon printing program
mircea_popescu: lmao tux still exists ?
mircea_popescu: so what is all this leap second y2k v2.0 stuff lol
mircea_popescu: ohai
mircea_popescu: well, tomorrow's thing. laters all.
mircea_popescu: so they made it for the vc backed firm by recycling some older stuffs ?
mircea_popescu: um.
mircea_popescu: there we go
mircea_popescu: https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1/blob/master/include/secp256k1.h
mircea_popescu: orly.
mircea_popescu: did blockstream actually publish the libsecp256k1 ?
mircea_popescu: this is not so horribru.
mircea_popescu: https://github.com/polarssl/polarssl/blob/development/include/polarssl/ecdsa.h that it ?
mircea_popescu: i am a great believer in code analysis myself.
mircea_popescu: i mean, tests, sure, provable code, sure, random tests, sure.
mircea_popescu: i'm sort of pondering creating a "compare openssl / polarssl / blockstream ec implementations" research project
mircea_popescu: the ecc codebase specificaly
mircea_popescu: fluffypony how big is polarssl ?
mircea_popescu: but yes openssl is warty. especially for this use. and heck, more tests... never hurt.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i very much doubt nullc actually has any idea as to what's going on, apart from being in the room when it was explained and now typing words on reddit. and i doubt wuille actually did anything deliberately nefarious there.
mircea_popescu: patience... rare.
mircea_popescu: well, don't burn out. intelligence is relatively common
mircea_popescu: so if you had to guess, how many previously innocent reddit read your comment and figured "hmm... there's something here" ?
mircea_popescu: it doesn't plead in favour for your intelligence, but it is certainly noble.
mircea_popescu: but i do respect the sort of idiot that will actually go in there and do that sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: you know, i despise reddit, and that thing's a fine example, like are many others.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony that you in there, pointing out gmaxwell's idiocy ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2rrxq7/on_why_010s_release_notes_say_we_have_reason_to/cnipifq << gmaxwell aware enough to notice [one of] trezor holes.
mircea_popescu: sounds great.
mircea_popescu: isn't it 2160 btw ?
mircea_popescu: confirm debit.
mircea_popescu: that's an interesting approach.
mircea_popescu: ...
mircea_popescu: an orphan can be any arbitrary length.
mircea_popescu: in log
mircea_popescu: davout there exists something like that already, "gavin's orphan chain won't die before 50 block long"
mircea_popescu: cazalla nobody cared.
mircea_popescu: so every orphan chain is "main net" ?
mircea_popescu: i don't follow ?
mircea_popescu: and then people disagree on what "main net" means
mircea_popescu: heh. some publicity.
mircea_popescu: http://nypost.com/2015/01/03/afraid-of-loss-espn-makes-fast-cash-on-bitcoin-payment
mircea_popescu: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/jackson-palmer-year-dogecoin-jar-nutella-all-i-have-show-1478649 << pretty sweet.

mircea_popescu: aha.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i forget, what was the bitcoin bowl thing cost ?
mircea_popescu: gotta love the wisdom of the crowds.
mircea_popescu: "That's quite publicity for MP for a mere 5 BTC (he owns half bitbet), maybe less. (It's obvious that bitcoin will go up faster, so not many will bet no)" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://bitbet.us/bet/786/bitcoin-to-surpass-berkshire-as-an-investment/#c2616
