mircea_popescu: ah, yeah, ankle hook was permitted. if you count
that as wrestling.
phf: because you couldn't really
test strength against girl,
that was inconceivable and
those who
tried were just weirdos (not
to mention
testing strength against girl
the fuck), but if you managed
to do a sneak drop
mircea_popescu: phf by and large
the deep driver being
that girls at
that age suck, being as
they are ~marmots. babyfat bubbles on uneasy legs.
phf: i
think wrestle also required
trickery
mircea_popescu: anyway, it got pretty much all of
the girls wearing dresses.
mircea_popescu: 10yo acceptable maneuvers re girls were a)
throwing soft snowball (really hard iced ones were for boys only!) ; sticking snow behind neck but only if done with
trickery (ie, if
the girl was aware she's about
to get it you couldn't do it) and finally pulling pants off. bonus points if also underwear.
phf: there's mtg but
there's not even
trade around mtg, afaiu it is heavily mediated
through parents "so it
that it's fair"
phf: ah
the old art of wrestling
the girl into snow
mircea_popescu: the ~reason we monetized
these was because a) we'd snowball
the girls into little piles as soon as
the snow came and b) we'd wrestle hundreds of
times a day.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they don't.
these spontaneous monetizations are spontaneous from an interplay of sexuality and violence which does not exist in anglo world.
BingoBoingo: microagressions aren't real.
There's just actual aggressions and
thinskinned butthurt
diana_coman: hm, deedbot handed me 2 broomsticks before handing
the OTP link (in
the
third
try)
BingoBoingo: anyways asciilifeform
The auction made qntra early

turbo was for kids
tho, we had
the one before
that. with fake money.
mircea_popescu: iirc i even
told
the story of
the gambling game i devised which made me uber rich
mircea_popescu: ie,
THESE coins are now going
to be SHARES in so and so.
mircea_popescu: nah.
the original colored coins was a "let's do mpex over bitcoin network because mp is something you can replace by a napkin sketch of a protocol"
mircea_popescu: really,
the 1700s are more instructive
to
the student of modern finance
than any available material.
mircea_popescu: then voltaire andsome friends bought all
the emissions and so "won"
the "lottery"
mircea_popescu: THEN came up with idea of lottery,
to repay full value for
the serials
took from a hat.
mircea_popescu: well, state issued "rents", ie, you give
them so much and
they give you so much back.
mircea_popescu: (anyone up
to date on
the lulz
that passed for fiscal management of
the kingdom back in 1750s ? )
mircea_popescu: also money lottery was popular in
the
time of voltaire
mircea_popescu: i suppose some soapy smith somewhere did something like
this.
mircea_popescu: to get you
the actual pointers i'd have
to dig out
through my official history of currency
trainingbook which i continents ago misplaced.
mircea_popescu: also case of "converbile - but only so and so numbers monday ; so and so
tuesday" etc.
mircea_popescu: case of "only odd digit is good from now on" instead of making new currency,
to stablize
phf: try buying a $1000 bill for less
than $1700
shinohai: I'll gladly make someone coloured coin and relieve
them of good BTC
mircea_popescu: though it should not happen prior
to 2018, i expect a lot of dao-lolz coming out of what's fundamentally a middling design.
mircea_popescu: heck, we might even implement sidechains of whatever fashionable flavour of
the month, as a bold-on, if anyone's bored enough.
mircea_popescu: that
they make segwit ;
that we make deedbot (the
two are not even vaguely dissimilar, by
the way, except prb doesn't know how
to code cleanly), is really nobody's problem.
mircea_popescu: you can count on 1`000`000 bytes ~ every six minutes
til kingdom come.
that's your bitcoin footprint.
mircea_popescu: this is all fine. and
they're more
than welcome
to hold whatever sidechain db in whatever manner until
they fall over.
mircea_popescu: the other side of "segwit" is
that
there will NEVER be a block size increase. period and full stop.
mircea_popescu: i don't see how you can be forced
to store
txn you dun wanna.
ben_vulpes: it's an excellent opportunity
to
teach about
the stealing being stolen.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they got nuked, currently is all
they can
try for.
ben_vulpes: more
tragically, do you know how many social media mommies
think
that 20 likes on instagram
trump 3 girlfriends who'll come over and hold
their kid while
the smm sobs over a lost parent?
mircea_popescu: for
that matter, do you know how many
think
they have seven sons ?
mircea_popescu: do you know how many people
think "500 followers" means 500 followers ?
mircea_popescu: there's no end
to
the human capacity for self delusion - which is fundamentally
the point of our discussion coupla days ago. you can't have a protocol
that keeps people from being stupid.
mircea_popescu: there's
the regular idiots who
think
themselves "rich", esr style.
mircea_popescu: there's also people who imagine
they "have a voice" ; or "social media power" or whatnot.
mircea_popescu: sure,
this will prolly "be implemented" ;
then some idiots will "use it" ;
then we'll get some "oh mp is a scammer because i sent him 5 btc he's not recognizing"
threads on reddit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nothing obliges you
to accept
transactions
that don't conform.
