mircea_popescu: hey, this is what people with gpus wanted all along, right ? a chance to mine again.
mircea_popescu: the fake coins they mine won't actually be worth anything once the fake chain dies. sort-of longest orphan block in history.
mircea_popescu: heck, if 99% of miners move to the fake chain all the better - lower real diff for a while.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla all i need really is a tiny miner. even gpus will do.
mircea_popescu: for as long as there's one miner that doesn't, however...
mircea_popescu: if a majority of miners accepts the fork they still have to relay and mine all my txn.
mircea_popescu: anyway, includes a pastebin of the #freenode discussion etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform from the fertile union of a very strong "must succeed" ideology and a very narrow "math is hard" cluelessness.
mircea_popescu: i mean if you must, in a very 3rd hand way, "through ruining public schools" or w/e.
mircea_popescu: and, of course, much like in the case of the "ethereum short" nobody actually bought, here is me looking for counterparties willing to buy gavin-bitcoins on the understanding that the transaction will only be valid on the gavin fork, but not in actual bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: i dun imagine they'll pretend like they "tested" it in less than a few months, so there's still a season i'd guess.
mircea_popescu: now if mod6 an' ben_vulpes + whoever else can contribute get snappy with the actual foudnation work, the beheading of gavin's pretense will come exactly in time for a smooth transition to a muchly superior alternative.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> as far as i understand sibert now runs paper fund << kinda my understanding as well. but hey, if his customers are happy with it...
mircea_popescu: this was a coincidence, right ? and gallup actually conducts its polls, like irl, right ?
mircea_popescu: except they shoved a 46 in there at the end for the first week of 2015. which, of course, includes three days of 2014.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, gavin hasn't been making any sense for a long time now.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile gay men have for one thing five to ten times as many legit other gay men to meet, and looser dudes make up "men going alone" clubs instead of deciding they're now gay and the gay community must turn itself into mcdonalds to accomodate them.
mircea_popescu: and will raise hell if you dare observe that they're the same stinky, unbearable, impossible idiots that men think they are, pretending lesbianism is not a magical cure.
mircea_popescu: not only are your odds of finding a like minded soul vanishingly tiny, but you're deluged in all the fat idiots who think that they may "hate men", as something that's at their disposal, and it's your job and obligation to humor them, because "you're different".
mircea_popescu: it occurs to me... it must suck to be a lesbian. i mean a real one, the whatever, .4% demographic.
mircea_popescu: anyway, too lazy to go into the 2012-2013 collection of "media" derpage.
mircea_popescu: mainly because it somehow elides that the problem is the dollar.
mircea_popescu: clearly they infringe on facebook intellectual propertahs.
mircea_popescu: i really don't think they should be called books properly.
mircea_popescu: should be standard practice for any article mentioning fiat. the msm is doing it to us, obviously we'll be doing it to them. let teh public pick up the pieces.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo if you add another whole paragraph about how dollars are inherently unsafe, used by terrorists and probably not going to "make it", culled directly from the idiocy spewed by idiots about btc
mircea_popescu: check that out, this new year was 1420070400. at some point during ny eve it crossed 1,42 trillion
mircea_popescu: jurov: ;;later tell mircea_popescu care to send qntr shares over? << aye.
mircea_popescu: i guess the largest shock to noobs is swallowing the actual history of mp-*, as it was.
mircea_popescu: if anyone cares, there was another ddos bout, but it didn't do anything.
mircea_popescu: decimation amusingly enough pretty much everyone is selling under production
mircea_popescu: should it do that, what's the likely evolution of the black market rate ?
mircea_popescu: the govt is considering yielding, and bringing the official bolivar to 50ish.
mircea_popescu: so practical macroeconomics exercise. venezuela, which is in the shitter, quotes the dollar officially at 12 bolivars. meanwhile, black rate is ~170.
mircea_popescu: sort-of like "there are not enough places in college for all the kids"
mircea_popescu: ipv4 "not being enough" is a sad symptom of letting too many people in.
mircea_popescu: 220.255.1.101 - - [05/Jan/2015:09:16:48 -0500] "GET etc
mircea_popescu: <assbot> New lie detector relies on full-body suit for better accuracy | ITworld << makes me think... most dudes think they know fucking...
mircea_popescu: take a week to work in say a supermarket or something. the helplessness of common postmodern man (well, mostly woman) is impressive.
mircea_popescu: decimation there's a fundamental difference between those who use tools and those who make tools.
