asciilifeform: there are strictly two 'solutions' i know of, 1) get born as mircea_popescu and stay on dirigible as much as possible 2) go perelman and live in the forest with bears and lynx
assbot: Logged on 29-02-2016 16:46:29; mircea_popescu: this of course means you must support arabic ligature in your kkkapp made specifically to scrawl white supremacist nonsense on virtual toilets in gta4.
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 13:33:19; *: mircea_popescu is incredibly fucking glad he never gave in to the temptation as a child, and systematically never regarded go as anything above or beyond parlor trick to entertain oneself with teh nude houri postcoitally, in spite of perhaps reasonable and well reasoned arguments to the contrary. ☟︎

assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 04:10:08; mircea_popescu: kakobrekla> they also arent comparable in a sense << or in the sense of "case 1 is a derpy kid who tried his derpy time-arbitrage scheme without having the first clue as to what that entails, then whined to be made whole when it blew up" vs "case 2 - someone came into a shop, shot a patron, and now the business is charging the carpet cleaning against on its expense account". hurr durr, "the police sh

assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 01:33:09; mircea_popescu: does it exist online or is it actually cards in person thing ?

hanbot: mircea_popescu meh, i guess eskimociuciu has eternal representation so long as the current voice distributes so much chum.
ben_vouspes: mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-03-2016#1427333 ☝︎
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Thanks, I'll start working through it
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Do you have anything in particular that you would care to see translated, ideally something that isn't literal poetry? Yeah I've only just started picking RO up, so it would probably be a slow process..
hanbot: so mircea_popescu do you suppose these people were hacked or something, ie some kinda inept Chinese-PR? even without nubbins` meltdown, you have PeterL, the ex-mildmannered professional chemist with a family, going http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-03-2016#1427105 like a five year old suddenly, what the fuck is this?! ☝︎
asciilifeform: it represents the side of usg mircea_popescu likes to bring up, the threadbare zimbabwe side.
asciilifeform: and it would greatly surprise me if most of mircea_popescu's personal coin was not 1 step from mpex

nubbins`: ben_vouspes i can't see any other explanation. mircea_popescu claimed ownership of B's inputs, and they came from MPEx. Best-case scenario, mircea_popescu legitimately received the funds from MPEx and paid the bettors out of pocket. Worse-case scenario, he paid the bettors directly with MPEx funds.
nubbins`: so, put another way: mircea_popescu borrowed money from MPEx, sent it to bettors, and charged the expense to BitBet
PeterL: mircea_popescu I am talking with nubbins`, I guess you have him on ignore still?
nubbins`: next step: mircea_popescu ignores people who talk to nubs
assbot: Logged on 02-03-2016 04:52:38; hanbot: hey mircea_popescu, is it okay if i defer this month's pc4 report and combine in april?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: which thing?
PeterL: mpif is run by mircea_popescu, hanbot only does the throwing coins at bitbet part
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: variable. but there is a boojum! typically you have to sign 'noncompete' to get the severance. and you have to be sacked, can't leave on own free will. and the sacking can't be 'for cause', etc, etc.
asciilifeform: and also try to understand mircea_popescu's very valid observation re: how turning people into salarymen lowers them into pederasty.
nubbins`: consider: mircea_popescu wanted to pay for eulora heraldics in stock warrant only
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he's been gone for longer, before.
asciilifeform: also nubbins` seems to be painting kakobrekla as a helpless pet of mircea_popescu ?
nubbins`: you can also see with naked eye where kako asserts that mircea_popescu broke 3.2 (d) of listing agreement?
nubbins`: but because i went on the offensive, mircea_popescu simply cannot back down.
PeterL: mircea_popescu if you were to start rota now, what would you do differently?
PeterL: mircea_popescu but clearly there is the expectation that people inside your WoT will say something if they think your report is wrong
nubbins`: mircea_popescu is actually describing hanbot scathingly well here
nubbins`: mircea_popescu's statements about the bar raising seem to directly back up my assertion that hanbot needs to get the heave-ho.
asciilifeform: i think i have an accurate model tho. (which is 'bbet is mircea_popescu's toy, he can take ball and go home if he wants')
nubbins`: mircea_popescu also won't entertain serious allegations of fraud, to nobody's surprise
nubbins`: mircea_popescu seems to feel that fraud accusations have no place in #b-a
jurov: mircea_popescu: only if hanbot argues against fraudsters as usual
asciilifeform: and hey there's mircea_popescu .
jurov: and the picture is, that some people think that bitbet's funds are at full disposal of mircea_popescu and he can send zerofee tx and all is okay... while coinbr, somehow can not, because "broker"?
ben_vulpes: nubbins`: and what precisely the claim's root? that mircea_popescu paid twice? that the funds were his and the loan a breach of contract?
PeterL: danielpbarron if mircea_popescu had sent the funds to his wallet and spent them on hookers and blow, would that count as fraud or would you let him asses that as "the cost of doing business"?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: do you understand the essence of what mircea_popescu said to you ? about 'rabble rousing' ?
asciilifeform: so i do not see the ' mircea_popescu is cheating people ' angle.
asciilifeform: and from my reading of the listing article, it appears to very clearly imply that it is mircea_popescu's thing and he can take the ball and go home, etc.
asciilifeform: but i also think that mircea_popescu explained his pov pretty well.
nubbins`: asciilifeform what mircea_popescu considers it doesn't necessarily reflect what it actually is
asciilifeform: nubbins`: from rereading the log, you can see that mircea_popescu considers the 17 btc to be a justified cost-of-war thing.
PeterL: did mircea_popescu ever say how his bitcoin handles conflicting transactions?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: did mircea_popescu ever answer your deedbotted grievance thing ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mircea_popescu found a chip fab between his sofa cushions yet ? << i don't have enough money to outright do this. if i had, i'd be outright doing this.
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2016 14:04:37; mircea_popescu: and since i'd rather include the chip fab, ima support the horsies being radical.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-03-2016#1426499 << mircea_popescu found a chip fab between his sofa cushions yet ? ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2016 14:03:21; mircea_popescu: pgp prolly also merging into g.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this ~was~ upgrade. now will have to blacklist versions of 1,001 things.
shinohai: mircea_popescu can be an Indonesian plantation Lord
ben_vulpes: perhaps the cartel got away. perhaps someone else cares to bet against mircea_popescu's bitcoin prognostications.
ben_vulpes: near as i can tell, mircea_popescu went to pop a mining cartel and only caught a sybil.
assbot: Logged on 02-03-2016 18:06:28; mircea_popescu: you know how it sometimes happens that a platoon gets sent on a random patrol, ends up surprising a moving contingent of enemy, a flurry of radioing and reinforcing and whatnot happens and suddenly the front is in a new place ?
ben_vulpes: [02:12:30] [mircea_popescu] so then, upon advice, i sent it separately. and it went through within half hour. AFTER WHICH somehow the txn was magically found, and… this time it wasn't dropped from mempool ? what changed since last week, mempool is even bigger now. << most underexamined line in this whole saga to date.
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2016 03:23:51; mircea_popescu: inb4 city fine for zoning violation.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: One nugget you may have missed in the log shitting is that weather permitting this week I will attempt to do the tree to stake conversion for the art
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought this was how you got momotaro, the peach pit samurai.
jurov: mircea_popescu: well, if the discussion got so hard now, where are all the negrates?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i almost forgot that nubbins` was a math grad!?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you said chix can be taught anything. teach >= one to partake in this.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'g' is another angle of attack against the octopus.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that they, supposing there were brains anywhere involved, ~tried~ to fight the octopus but eventually lost.
davout: mircea_popescu: well, it also "doesn't not work" in the sense that I sometimes have got transactions stuck because I'm a cheap zero-fee jew, that I got unstuck by issuing a double-spend
assbot: Logged on 07-03-2016 23:20:09; mircea_popescu: you think you're running a node, because, symptomatically, in the windows definition of running code (hey, click items till it works) you are. but the sense of running code contemplated for bitcoin is negative, not positive, and you don't know how to check for that nor do you specifically care. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i conduct own 'intel', and yes, i don't have a radiotelescope like mircea_popescu's, only eyes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: tell how not stable ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is sorta sheckley's hour of battle thing.
davout: mircea_popescu: if everyone's actually the same node, broadcasting to one node is actually broadcasting to everyone, and it follows that it should have relayed properly. I guess it can also be the sign of your connections all actually being to the same sybilling node
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my hypothesis was that it suffices for the enemy to have a pistol that does this, e.g., per every N trigger pulls, and that the number came up.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: waiwut
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for mircea_popescu from -1 to -1 with note: basic scammer, no accountability
nubbins`: !v assbot:nubbins`.rate.mircea_popescu.-1:dbed451e84f3cd09d7ae986fa83201a1562d21d299af2619c70317009d6f5c28
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is my current picture.
nubbins`: !rate mircea_popescu -1 basic scammer, no accountability
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what makes you think they haven't been squeezing the trigger for 100 shots
assbot: Logged on 07-03-2016 23:07:12; mircea_popescu: but, generally speaking, sybil testing on purported bitcoin nodes are a good idea, especially if carried out in secret and uncoordinatedly.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the incident with bbet, can be explained without miner cartel.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i assumed that you had nonpublic intel that led you to say this.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is so far imho the best argument for why it had to be bbet's foot on the mine.
davout: mircea_popescu: i like to check stuff, maybe there's stuff to learn if i find out they somehow were relayed to my nodes at some point
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as discussed earlier, it is uniquely easy to do this to bbet.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: the most plausible scenario i can think of is that mircea_popescu's network has been boxed in by sybils.
davout: mircea_popescu: true
asciilifeform: nubbins`: they are, however, my strong point. and mircea_popescu asked an entirely logical q.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been lifting the rocks for a while. but i do it with sapper's spade , but as i understand you did it with bbet's foot ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well you also had a hypothesis concerning miners
assbot: Logged on 07-03-2016 22:52:54; mircea_popescu: myeah.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you actually did this experiment, and this was the result, then you just nailed a set of sybils, yes
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu>asciilifeform i seem to recall he failed both tests for continued lordship and was basically not on the list of names to be cleared because he asked not to be. << memory failing you once again
