ThickAsThieves: <WillTablet> Though doing cpu mining with altcoins and then buying BTC seems more profitable /// yeah but nubbins might call you

benkay: what do you call 8 bankers jumping out of
a plane?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform new york missed
a huge opportunity to start the largest fuckfest/rave in the history of the us.
nubbins`: you could even get some of the big names to do some designs, get
a bit of momentum behind it
mircea_popescu: srsly, if the ny mayor had any sense he'd have passed an ordinance saying that kids are allowed to camp indefinitely oly for as long as they're naked, also get three meals

cads: living cramped in
a tent*
cads: I heard about it from, get this,
a grungy muddy finance grad student living with two other grungy dudes in
a 300 tent colony that had sprung up in one of the main parks in the center of atlanta
cads: The Freicoin website says, "Freicoin's parameters are carefully chosen to eliminate the basic interest component of investments, called the liquidity premium by economists. Usurious non-zero basic interest distorts the free market, incentivises poisonous greed, excess, and short-term thinking, and perpetuates
a vicious cycle of boom/bust recessions."
mircea_popescu: and yes, i thought it's
a good match, it's about as misguided as the people that came up with it.
mircea_popescu:
a central exchange where people can trade their deeds.
mircea_popescu: i'm kind-of surprised there isn't
a localbitcoins but for activists.
cads: I was wondering about Bugpowder's earlier statement. Is this writer an idiot or
a smooth PR savage?
cads: The it does this: "In effect, Mt Gox had left themselves wide open to any accusation that they were no different to any other system operating on
a fractional reserve basis."
cads:
http://therealasset.co.uk/bitcoin-maxcoin/ okay here's the article -- the first paragraph in the section "trouble at mt gox" gives
a summary of the mt gox problems - glitches in gox +
a bug in bitcoin + trade halt at gox + double counting.
mircea_popescu: because i'd be interested in supporting
a program of propaganda against us banking interests signed MPEx/BTC
cads: but if they hear that what's going on is that
a trading house is doing
a fractional banking scam, that's something that appeals much more to their refined palates
cads: my though was that if money and fund types hear there was
a bug that let criminals make off with millions they'd be unlikely to even consider what maxcoin has got going on that makes it 'even better' than bitcoin
mircea_popescu: that and
a practical smattering of impudent cockletry with delusions of hitlerism, but anwyay.
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder obtaining cvorum on
a definition of optimality however...
mircea_popescu: cads was it also
a rewrite of the trilema gox article ?
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't go as far as to say it's bad for science, but it definitely is inconvenient for anyone not an idiot with
a nature subscription.
cads: hmm, I might have an example of convenient narrative. I read an article of
a blogger hyping maxcoin. She claims something about the mtgox situation that I can't quite understand, but seems to level the accusation that mtgox was engaging in fractional banking.
Vexual: hey if it gives
a viable story for where the stem cells came from in future findings, it can only be good for science

a good day when most of the people commenting on Nature are going "hey guise Nature is nasty I am ignoring it hahaha!"
Bugpowder: Jonah Lehrer and Gladwell should collab on

a certain hash even solo mining uses
a private pool"

a bad follow though
cads: automated their legal processes and are spawning subsidiaries, IPOing them, and exchanging title in
a bizarre parody of

a time. They're burning GM
