mircea_popescu: i am of surprised nobody made a penis one
mircea_popescu: ya srsly i don't fgollow that reasoning
mircea_popescu: i see a pig, the fixed portrait of jesus
ThickAsThieves: the usual i guess
pankkake: moderated topic, can't do a "reserved" I guess
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i still think that in the abstract it isn't, given that there's nothing magic about the code (quite a few people, myself included, have understood it)
mircea_popescu: this would be a step this way from what i recall your last position, which was that it isn't.
asciilifeform: i can't help but suspect that bitcoind-as-we-know-it is only a Schelling point b/c virtually no one understands the code
mircea_popescu: but as long as i have the total energy and it's fixed, you can't run fake perpetuum mobiles.
mircea_popescu: so, dust collectors follow the qt. at some point the qt is used to deliver some value away from the users. i say so, and point to bf. end of story.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it won't be btc. the beauty is that we're perfectly severable. i just sit here and wait, and the scammers build themselves up. when their building becomes unsustainable for them, i cut their rope and they choke.
jcpham: i used to make fun of them but i get it now
jcpham: i get the talking head thing
ThickAsThieves: so of course i must join board next
mircea_popescu: i am not at liberty to discuss.
mircea_popescu: and then i'll be an asshole and link you to 2012 and well...
ThickAsThieves: i'm probly late to this realization, but yesterday it occurred to me that the Bitcoin Foundation is worse than just being a bunch of cointreprenuers
mircea_popescu: you know, not a single fuckable chick i ever talked to had a reddit.
ThickAsThieves: i assume it sucks
jurov: i literall just today registered livestocks.me
jcpham: i'm waiting on the price to drop to a few btc before i jump into solar
jcpham: i like the fact that I can buy a 6500k off the grid solar tie in kit for 48 bitcoins
jcpham: i bet dialup too
ThickAsThieves: i still wont use it tho
mircea_popescu: i think it is
jcpham: i have one too but haven't logged in in years
jcpham: and surprising i know lots of peeps with them still
mircea_popescu: i still fidn this hard to believe, but > 90% of rtomanians have yahoo email.
pankkake: i'll miss chair-throwing monkey boy
jcpham: i guess if you aren't being like a technical innovator at life
mircea_popescu: i was glad yahoo got that chick what's her face, i was sad microsoft is replacing balmer, but if it's elop...
jcpham: i don't understand any of these tech companies anymore except google
mircea_popescu: pankkake they get that hot ? i doubt it. have you SEEN how hot girls get down there man ?!
ThickAsThieves: I CNAT STOP
benkay: mircea_popescu: bingoboingo and i were doing performance co-trolling last night
mircea_popescu: is that a really badly done tattoo or am i just unexpert ?
mircea_popescu: i am a coindom! you kidding me ?
pankkake: lol, the worst I had was just walnuts full of dirt
mircea_popescu: so i bought walnuts. huge things cause fresh. i crack one, worm in it says HI! crack another, some sort of weird moth thing.
pankkake: maybe I'll wait for april 1st
pankkake: by the way I have an idea for an altcoin but I am too lazy to figure out how to create it (there is nothing to gain, it would be designed as unpreminable because of its stupid design)
ThickAsThieves: i think my fave so far was necromonicoin, someone make that an altcoin plz
kakobrekla: i might sound like tits but it really is dick.
pankkake: kakobrekla: hating on macs and a beavis and butthead reference? if you were a girl I'd give you coinilingus
nubbins`: lel, i was just gonna say
kakobrekla: i am the great coinholio.
mircea_popescu: i read it that way originally but then on reread... SCANDAL!
nubbins`: nubbins`: coinvict, i mean
nubbins`: i'd drink at the coinhole
nubbins`: coinvict, i mean
nubbins`: ooh, i like
ThickAsThieves: i dont mind it in all cases
nubbins`: well, no conversation makes me feel like i should be doing work
nubbins`: i'm very partial to those charcoal shirts
mircea_popescu: benkay it's kinda funny for me to read you and bingobongo guy going at each other cause i know neither's an idiot
nubbins`: thats not to say it's all i do, but that's what i spend most of my time doing
nubbins`: kakobrekla: this is mostly what i do these days
jcpham: r/Bitcoin/ gets boring quick so i'm straight to lolcats
jcpham: because i put it on her facebook for fun
jcpham: Rulother yeah i know it came from reddit but my wife doesn't
nubbins`: but… but i'm married to a woman
jcpham: and am i one?
Scrat: I turned my laptop upside down and now there's pubes all over my desk
kakobrekla: i pivoted my lcd for that but i was thinking basic bitches
kakobrekla: i dont understand
Scrat: oh sorry, I meant my website
gesell: think i misunderstood the statement/question then
Scrat: I'm at 1.01%
VanCleef: i'm feeling riskay
mircea_popescu: then they discover i don't bite heads off and well... goes from there.
pankkake: I paid because I wanted to
pankkake: oh I agree, it's doomed to fail in any case
pankkake: I had to ask what I had to do to subscribe, because your blog does not even state it clearly
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm not of the coercive school of ip rights management. as far as i'm concerned there should be some fundamentally sound, lightweight drm in place. if you have the werewithal to circumvent that and find this is something you wish to do, hey. you're an independent agent with a mind of your own.
pankkake: I never share CC with a random website, but with stores it's usually through a payment processor operated by a bank
pankkake: actually I'm probably more shy on IRC with the "asking stuff" part
mircea_popescu: i use paypal exclusively because i know better than to share cc details over electronic systems.
pankkake: but again with the lazyness: I usually use paypal even whene there is a CC option, because I don't want to fetch my credit card
pankkake: I order everything through machines, except food
pankkake: actually paying was a burden for me: I had to talk to you! and I dislike asking people stuff
pankkake: so whether I cheat or not, I do not pay more
pankkake: but I didn't set them up for it; I simply have them for other uses
mircea_popescu: just because i have an apple in front of my window doesn't make the apple i eat off that tree not worth 1/4 euro or w/e thery sell for.
pankkake: (or I'm not paying, just happen to have ssh access)
pankkake: cheating is basically using ssh + lynx. I have ~10 IPs at hand at least
mircea_popescu: moreover, considering what it icosts, if cheating is time effective then i guess you weren't in the target anyway.
mircea_popescu: i don't care, the ips you use to cheat can't be used by others to cheat.
pankkake: so even if I wanted to pay, the lazy route was to cheat
mircea_popescu: basically because i'm lazy.
mircea_popescu: pankkake i vaguely recall they having an expiration date to protect people from the random "i visited my ex wife in missisiauga and loaded my cookie in the library computer. so now 57969543489 ppl use it"
pankkake: I had to set the cookie again today though - not sure why
pankkake: hehe I was going to say that :p
ThickAsThieves: thats per slot too i think
pankkake: Diablo-D3: yeah there's this one guy who just quotes huge posts saying "I have to agree here.", very annoying :)
jurov: i totally <3 this. if you argue with someone that bitcoin is useless in meatspace
ThickAsThieves: i dont even comment in there anymore
benkay: i have and may again
BingoBoingo: dub: I prefer Popeyes
BingoBoingo: So I'm thinking about proposing some BitBets, What do peple think are realistic MVP candidates?
benkay: nah man i don't seek perfection, but i do expect people to infer the correct definition from context
