a very good candidate for mean reversion trades
mircea_popescu: sort-of like if
a lion's success in catching gazelles was helped by it going around with
a lot of dead gazelles.
mircea_popescu: the thing with chump vacuuming is that creating the impression of

a scam after all.

mircea_popescu: turbo_ac100 make sure to make
a thread about how bitbet's been scamming users tho.
mircea_popescu: and that too was
a lot of work, even if not necessarily obvious immediately.
mircea_popescu: it is
a lot of work, yes. that's part of why it's worth doing, it always pays to sink your teeth in and do
a fundamental bit well than try and chew
a little off the edges.

mircea_popescu: Jere_Jones i know bunches of ppl who freelance, right ? "plz build me
a better brain. should be easy if you know what you're doing'. 90% of all projects.
mircea_popescu: Namworld im trying to give the kid
a breadloaf and he;'s trying to price himself out of it.
mircea_popescu: but all the fun aside, srsly,
a foss clojure implementation of this would actually be
a great thing.
benkay: well, it's just lisp so they shouldn't have too hard of
a time
mircea_popescu: get
a buncha fucktarded kids try to learn clojure to make their own market thing.
mircea_popescu: what, are you trying to put
a CLOJURE on my expression ?

a decent dedi.

a good programmer for the alt coin

a great big fuck off pile of work

a coin

a schelling point.
benkay: "

a superficial 1st take of anything and leaves it at that.
mircea_popescu: benkay i got news for you. the stuff that makes beer good ? it's shit, man. little craps taking
a doodoo in your drink.
Bones: So you would rather pick up shit than clear
a shitbox. To each their own I suppose?
benkay: sounds like
a great deal of overhead.
benkay: why on earth would i have
a yard!?
Bones: I'm
a dog man myself, but benkay you still have
a yard full of shit. Now what?
benkay: i am not paying someone to maintain
a shitbox in my residence.
benkay: i am not maintaining
a shitbox.
ThickAsThieves: pretty much if you get
a cat while its impressionable, make
a good impression, it is
a great pet
mircea_popescu: You see dear Internet, Juraj Variny was
a simple country boy... you might say
a cockeyed optimist, who got himself mixed up in the high stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue.
ThickAsThieves: so what you're saying is Altcoin really is the first altcoin with
a purpose
