pankkake: well looks like I'm your man, I'll try tomorrow
Namworld: Well I don't know why but I'm da coolest now. Does that come with any sort of responsibilities or something?
Kleeck__: I like his rants.
mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea who he is.
Kleeck__: I like these frank rankts.
benkay: i'm visiting in november for reasons of lolbitrage
mircea_popescu: i know.
pankkake: I don't see any other way to make the bet
mircea_popescu: i deny any involvement.
mircea_popescu: i'm rewriting this.
asciilifeform: i suppose now you'll tell us they don't breed true, either.
mircea_popescu: i measured it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: let me know where on this planet I can get some milk w/out Sr-90 in it.
mircea_popescu: i believe the idea is "fuck you if you have health problems"
benkay: there are constraints under which i operate, sir.
benkay: plus i like being physically around smart, pretty humans.
benkay: i just snipe the smart, compliant ones out of math programs.
benkay: i must be getting older. i see more herp every day.
benkay: descending into sarcasm, "oh, you mean I have to manage these people? tell them what to do etc?"
benkay: i eventually lost my cool and said "yeah. you have to manage them. if you have such a tightly limited budget that you can only afford one human and not the additional team bandwidth to train that human, your entire management philosophy is borked."
benkay: I had a conversation with someone recently who was having trouble hiring people.
mircea_popescu: get back to me when any of the "concerned" parties matches the data, i might care.

Duffer1: oh labcoin, let me count the ways i love thee
ThickAsThieves: I miss MPEx options
TheSeven: I'd need to discuss that with labcoin first though
TheSeven: I should probably post a response there myself, with a few more details
dexX7: do you mind if i forward your words to the lab thread, theseven?
TheSeven: not that I consider that good in any way, but not quite as bad as tom...
TheSeven: just to make that clear: From the insight that I have into that project (which isn't really much), I have no reason to believe that it is a scam. It probably also isn't quite as screwed up as bASIC was. But I can't really judge upon whether it will succeed in the long run.
TheSeven: they basically made me the HDL engineer for the second generation chip. while I have some HDL background on FPGAs, I have zero ASIC experience.
TheSeven: I'm also not involved much with labcoin's first revision chip. I gave some advice to the ASIC engineer, and that's it. I can't tell if the ASIC engineer did a good job otherwise.
TheSeven: I am a technical consultant (mostly on bitcoin-related aspects) to them, and have next to zero insight into their business plans
Ukyo: forums are so bloated I cant even find wtf happened
Ukyo: i re-read it like 3 times trying to figure it out. "this is what happens" coupled with "and ukyo doesn't cut you the same deal" misreads :P
mircea_popescu: not every time i say a name it's bad news you know. sometimes it's positive.
Ukyo: i have been away the last few hours, trying to read on whats happened
Ukyo: [01:19] <mircea_popescu> well that's what happens when you selftrade on store credit and ukyo doesn't cut you the same scammy deal. <-- wtf? what scammy deal have i done ? x.x
mircea_popescu: BUT! i see the edward guy was here which is nice.
coconut: so, i always bid 69
mircea_popescu: i don't get what's suspicious ?
mircea_popescu: (i know they often fuck up)
pankkake: I think they mostly look at the IP
mircea_popescu: i got a list by now. what do i care.
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood. i just work here.
ThickAsThieves: i blame labcoin
mircea_popescu: sonhash, i am dissapoint.

ThickAsThieves: Does this mean I don't get a job?
mircea_popescu: i tell you this.
Kleeck: I'm so full of Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA that I can't think straight.
Kleeck: I guess that means I should go to bed.

dexX7: i'm quite in a rush right now
coconut: 'thesevem' omg you think I'm expecting 200k dump, behave yourself
coconut: as if i wouldn't have put a little more effort in than that
Kleeck: I did.
dexX7: what's happening now is the greatest scam i've seen on btct
Kleeck: Ah. The dramaz. I dig this way too much. I'm out gents.
mircea_popescu: darn i missed it.
Kleeck: I've chosen my poison. :)
Kleeck: I'll be honst TAT, I was absolutely gambling. I did NOT believe in this "company".
mircea_popescu: i wonder how would one get this point across.
Kleeck: so I could easily see a return.
Kleeck: I'm in at a low price point.
Kleeck: In which case I was duped.
Kleeck: I don't think I was hypontized. I saw it for what it was. I think...
ThickAsThieves: i think we've summed it up nicely over the weeks in a number ways
Kleeck: But nothing I said was inconsistent with reality. It is volatile, and you can ride the P&D. And yes, I may have just got burned.
coconut: I think many people got hypnotised with how shiny it was
Kleeck: And maybe I over polished. lol.
Kleeck: I agree.
ThickAsThieves: [01:32] <Kleeck> I think they have absolutely zero long term prospects.
ThickAsThieves: [01:31] <Kleeck> I dropped my side pot into LC for the hype.
Kleeck: I have no interst in your shit.
ThickAsThieves: [01:29] <Kleeck> I am absolutely no fanboy, but I think they have a chip, and I think they WILL be mining shortly.
ThickAsThieves: hold on i'll i think i can let you do the arguing for you
Kleeck: I think they have absolutely zero long term prospects.
Kleeck: I dropped my side pot into LC for the hype.
Kleeck: All I need is some hype.
