mircea_popescu: i suppose going forward this universal subservience of all people, institutions, mechanisms and consjiderations to bitcoin will be the hardest thing for the population to digest.

mircea_popescu: how they manage to write five pages of nothing that keeps changing every three months but somehow manages to miss that basic point i will never know.

Bugpowder: I lost enough for a few teslas on JD though ☟︎

pankkake: but that's because I have an autowatch on the french forum so I catch the spam
dub: I'd like to get paid for maintaining what is probably the largest ignore list
pankkake: I report a lot of stuff! why am I not paid
mircea_popescu: i thought that was because we had something speshul.
dub: I troll you lot for free erryday
dub: I can multitask
mircea_popescu: dub i thought you were gainfully employed.

dub: I'll troll, you delete, split profits
dub: neat, who i s amod and wants to cut a trolling contract
mircea_popescu: i never heard of paid mods.
mircea_popescu: wow. i just realised that at a population of 2mn, you could probably personally meet each girl that turns 17 during a year.
mircea_popescu: i ddin't know she expletives that much

ThickAsThieves: i mean, thank jezus
kakobrekla: i have no real perception of time anymore
lurkwingduck: I found the payment network rankings interesting
benkay: u guise i can't get to this dick
lurkwingduck: Honestly when I first heard of it back when it was dimes per btc I thought it was some sort of ponzi and promptly forgot about it for a few years.
mircea_popescu: i recall distinctly ppl going "oh , it's wayt too late now that it attained parity"
lurkwingduck: I was referring to the "make" joke
lurkwingduck: benkay, yeah and then I give most of it to BoA for a loan.
benkay: i want to make some money.
lurkwingduck: I've apparently been going about this making money thing all wrong.
Namworld: yeah, I meant allow businesses to refuse "bad" addresses, which I suppose it means tracking "unclean" coin. Which is a pretty awful thing to do.
ThickAsThieves: http://b-i.forbesimg.com/kashmirhill/files/2013/11/Coin-Validation.jpg

mircea_popescu: wait wait, i recall that name.
kakobrekla: i guess the premium speaks for the market, wanting more
kakobrekla: i need to gain some weight so i can wear xl
nubbins`: if i understand correctly, tat can't forcefully buy back at 1.0x; it's just an opportunity for people to initiate their own sell-back at 1.0x rather than 0.95x
pankkake: I hope someone makes the JBOND, face value 0.07
nubbins`: i struggle to understand the price fluctuations of XBOND
nubbins`: yeah, closest i can find is some asshole shooting 2mm tungsten bullets from a gun the size of my thumb
nubbins`: i bet there's youtube videos of that
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: from what i've heard, it's a massive pain to work tungsten
nubbins`: (i chose titanium)
nubbins`: i should just put "^" on a timer
mod6: actually, im no aficionado, but density tests don't work to determine if filled with tungsten afaik. (gold and tungsten have nearly identical density) -- typically i've heard that the smaller the denomination of coin, the safer because they're harder to forge.
nubbins`: no, altho i don't buy bars
nubbins`: i found a Cyprus 3 mil coin in a handful of change
nubbins`: coincidentally, this whole collecting thing started when i was about six years old
nubbins`: well, i have numismatic coins and vanilla bullion
mod6: i would think you'd want it for its melt value, not its rarity
nubbins`: and i buy bullion because it's an investment
nubbins`: although, to be fair, i buy numismatic coins because they appeal to my aesthetics
nubbins`: so unless the postal system collapses, i'm not particularly worried about finding a market for these down the road
nubbins`: i have many silver maples, no gold ones
nubbins`: while national pride and higher purity makes me want to buy a gold maple leaf, i've already got a stack of maple leafs
nubbins`: fuck this, i'm buying a krugerrand
mircea_popescu: i might consider getting a bronze sponsor thingee if anyone made a good paper and was serious about it.
mircea_popescu: i doubt you'd get very far, people like their privacy.
firedrops: http://fc14.ifca.ai/bitcoin/cfp.html I wonder if worthwhile things will happen here
truffles: i see boobs
truffles: i like the mille pins
pankkake: I don't think gold jewelry looks that good
mircea_popescu: chicks in nothing but worked gold will become the bitcoin fashion i tell you
nubbins`: lewicki: make it into jewelry for your harem, i guess
mircea_popescu: i suppose i'm going to end up having to get the girls harem joolry.
lewicki: what am i supoposed to do with a hunk of metal?
pankkake: when it's 1 BTC no doubt I'll buy one :)
pankkake: I think it was Luke-Jr!
pankkake: then someone on IRC told me I should use a pool
pankkake: I think it was way before getting the 0.5 from the faucet
pankkake: eh. after that I mined about 1 BTC on CPUs, but it was already the GPU era so I stopped mining those "worthless" coins
benkay: i'd love to find that computer
benkay: i mined my first on a cpu
ThickAsThieves: I hate when someone nags you to do something right when you are doing it
lurkwingduck: Yeah, I do regret not immediately withdrawing but whatevs lol
lurkwingduck: I was a moderator for a site.
lurkwingduck: I am not Garr, whoever that is.

lurkwingduck: Well since I recently lost all my btc.... lmao
