a different way of saying "decentralization"? ;D
nubbins`: makes you go
a bit googly-eyed after
a while tho

a larger chunk if "I" is followed by "believe"

a certain registered person, it links to nosuchlabs.com's collider :)
jcpham: water futures will one day be
a hot market

a brown thumb anyway, the best i'd be able to do is pull together
a team on your behalf
nubbins`: oh, totally, you'd need
a dozen or so people at the least
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: We played well before the tournament started I believe. It was this thing started on
a whim as
a four player round robin. truffles nubbins` and myself were in MP's spec I believe and then Namworld was online at the exact right time. Since we need some sort of three way tiebreaker if nubbins` loses to everyone... Fuck it, five way round robin.
nubbins`: well, if you feel like doing it in .ca, you know
a canadian who can wrangle things. got about 6 months to make
a killing before competition pushes profit down to
a minimum
mircea_popescu: seems it's
a better deal than buy
a miner, which is worth less in time
nubbins`: you're looking at this from the perspective of buying
a license and selling it, not from the perspective of actually financing
a legal grow-op
nubbins`: at least
a month ago, likely more
diametric: its fucking ridiculous marijuana is
a schedule 1 drug
nubbins`: there's
a guy in my city who has
a massive hydroponic lettuce operation
nubbins`: anyway regarding this growing weed business, it's probably not
a great way to make money. so regulation, much red tape
nubbins`: diametric: for the sake of
a differing opinion, i think you should purchase the luxury item you don't have room for
mircea_popescu: diametric ok so i'll talk you out of it for
a modest fee of 1 btc
diametric: until I build out my garage into
a machine shop this spring
nubbins`: how many people have
a dozen "-10 FAGGOT SCAMMER" ratings?
nubbins`: one of my companies has
a WoT identity
diametric: oh man so tempting
a 3d printer I've wanted to try for
a while can be bought with bitcoin now.
mircea_popescu: the wot is the corporation register of bitcoin. whether you're
a person or anything else, you're equally
a corporation anywya.
Jere_Jones: Coinbase (just an example) creates
a WOT identity and puts the fingerprint on their website. Happy with the service? Rate it. Unhappy, rate it.

a business identity instead of the individuals behind that business?

a woman happens to be one of the reasons she's leaving
ThickAsThieves: i agree that catering in general is
a horrible snowballing thing
mircea_popescu: in this case mutual catering is actually
a large chunk of the problem.
ThickAsThieves: being in the US, and
a background in mktg & visual media, it's hard for me to avoid the desire to cater i guess
ThickAsThieves: Here’s
a challenge : defend the options crap. in public. Against me.
ThickAsThieves: well what if i had come to you saying your options are shit cuz they
a borked
ThickAsThieves: maybe not fair to compare
a room of smart people i guess
ThickAsThieves: maybe use your mpex options problem as an example, it was brought up more than once that you had
a problem and it should be solved, but only after preparing the information in
a way you could digest would you acknowledge it
mircea_popescu: and the noob either withdraws the "ipo" (which i've seen at least once) or else goes on
a derprampage.
mircea_popescu: like some derp makes some ipo announcement on tardtalk and you or the girl or pankkake (who is just
a troll right ?) or kako or anyone says some things
mircea_popescu: in such
a circumstance attempting to satisfy the ritual becomes an empty exercise in circularity.
mircea_popescu: so he failed to establish his ground as
a man, will do better as
a child ?
ThickAsThieves: do you think your style may not serve you in situations like this? as in, you started with farts and piss, and thus gave him an out to start talking like
a child?
mircea_popescu: "dude, i hate it because it's
a threat, what do you want from me ?" would be infinitely more respectable than you know... "oh, deflation"
ThickAsThieves: to become
a mod and manage the Altcoin thread he created
ThickAsThieves: I just want to note that briefly working with Jimmy @ cryptocointalk.com has been
a pleasure and I like what he's doing with his forum
mircea_popescu: amusingly, the forum never discovered this
a year or so ago.
davout: "and are now running
a bitcoin exchange ?!" <<< haha, missed this
davout: when i was
a kid i wondered why my mum had to buy dollars on the black market
mircea_popescu: the us folk are merely on the receiving end of
a pillage system their grandfathers built and they can't support.

A guy in my town exports farm equipment to south Africa, it's always depressing to hear how terrible things are getting for farmers there
mircea_popescu: the20year the average of africa population is
A LOT less retarded than the average of us.
mircea_popescu: then capital goods, then capital in cash.
a full four degrees away from it yet
the20year: financial independence is
a good thing
the20year: most africans don't save, saving money for the future is
a good thing
the20year: and if you look , holland's tax is just
a throwback to mitterand's big tax in the 80s, which saw
a pretty large exodus of business leaving the country
the20year: Between negative population growth, rise of immigration and 75% taxes, it'll make for
a quite interesting century
davout: i'm considering opening
a bitcoin exchange in nigeria, thoughts?
the20year: Compared to moldova, where it costs $1m to build
a $50,000 building
the20year: His statement to me was that all political officals are corrupt, but they're also cheap to buy, so you can get done whatever you want for
a few hundred bucks

a little... you know, confabulating.
