a bit of
a slog sorting through the error logs etc
nubbins`: jurov FWIW there's
a ton of info out there on random CS compilation issues from older versions, some of it is still relevant
chetty: looks like upgrading my development system threw
a few curves :(
nubbins`: i gave up compiling earlier versions, decided i had
a vested interest in getting this to work, buckled down
mike_c: i tried
a couple different versions of ati drivers but can't stop segfaulting either.
nubbins`: CS itself requires
a bunch of libraries to be installed, but the report produced at the end of ./configure lists what's there and what's not

a centimeter and
a half too short.

nubbins`: he sends along the whole re:re:re:re:re:re:re: email chain from his designer, where i find out he paid this person $250 to design
a couple of shitty inserts
nubbins`: some guy in
a band contacts me to print some CD inserts
nubbins`: jurov, wouldn't you rather your pgp fingerprint printed on
a shirt in same-color ink tho? ;D
chetty: denial is
a stage of grief
pankkake: it's self delusion, it's
a psychological issue mostly
pankkake: interestingly, my mother, employed by the government and historically
a socialist, is probably less blinded
mircea_popescu: of course this is
a bankrupt arrangement, but that never stopped anyone before.
mircea_popescu: because his parents have lived their entire life in
a distorted environment engineered by government to misrepresent the feedback
mircea_popescu: you can tell vitalik there's no chance of that. i wouldn't trade
a bitten sub for his crud.
ThickAsThieves: we need to work around such
a possibility. If no whales come onboard on such
a scale, then we will have
a small market cap to start off anyway."
ThickAsThieves: "We are seriously worried that if we offer
a small cap then some large investor will simply gobble it up all at once, and then we'll basically have Ripple. Judging by the response we have gotten so far, we realized that it is entirely possible, even if unlikely, that some whale with 200000 BTC sitting around will decide that Ethereum just might be the right coin to throw 10% into, and

a while ...
mircea_popescu: right, but if you clean
a cookie or w/.e it disappears
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 he was able to get carry to disclose private information of
a user upon request
Duffer1: what's the extent of Ver's involvement w/ blockchain.info? is it angel investor only or does he have
a more active role?
mircea_popescu: pretty much anyone who said this or variations thereof the past few weeks is either going to be prosecuted or called up as
a witness.
dexX7_: but there was already
a statement like "japan does not care, because it's btc"
mircea_popescu: and from the little i understand of the japanese legal system, amply sufficient to secure
a conviction.
pankkake: why would
a company want to buy what is mostly bad reputation and debt?
mircea_popescu: anyway yeah, sturles and others who made statements about it will be key witnesses once this goes to court in
a few months
dexX7_: he wanted to buy
a lot of goxcoins in the -otc thread
ThickAsThieves: really the dude is in

a crypto insurance seller
ThickAsThieves: there was
a time i really wanted to work there, I poured over job listings for
a few weeks and never saw one thing I wanted to do
ThickAsThieves: "Say what you like about Google, but it isn’t an easy place to get hired at. The entrance interviews are notoriously tough, and it is
a highly desired employer – which makes Mike Hearn’s departure all the more notable."

mircea_popescu: dexX7_ they were still pr-izing at the time, hoping beyond hope they'll find
a sucker somewhere.
mircea_popescu: the exact same scumbags are already inflating
a replacement mtgox.
mircea_popescu: Once that happens, I am positive and certain that the same people who are now running around calling their betters names will try to turn things into some sort of “mean state infringing on people’s rights”. They have
a fine record at trying exactly that.vi
mircea_popescu: the20year1 i left the guy
