asciilifeform: lusers don't kill themselves at the behest of a fiery flame, either
asciilifeform: 90% of the drama was in the form of A: 'standard is crap!' B: 'no it isn't, i love it' A: ok, how about this B: yeah, maybe this should've been different A: let's change it B: no, you'll break my satellite/aircraft carrier/jacuzzi
asciilifeform: like a urinal
asciilifeform: much the same psychiatric aspects as the case of an ordinary spammer. who doesn't see the channel as a place with people, but as a receptacle
mircea_popescu: kako is going to end up sending openbsd a bill.
asciilifeform: hm. kid at racetrack: 'damn those things are loud, and they stink.' old man: 'unbeknownst to you, you're in a pit where loud, stinking things are revered.' kid: goes home, smears shit on himself, yells 'vroom! vroom!'
mircea_popescu: claiming the sun set in the east some time last month is a much easier solution.,
mircea_popescu: deego perhaps unbeknownst to you, you're in a pit where assholes and jerks are properly revered as the kings of all creation. which they are.
deego: author of such gems as " do the world a huge favor and commit suicide tonight."
asciilifeform: i was a lurker of the worst degree - several years after the fact.
deego: asciilifeform: Oh, I like lisp, but a complete asshole and a jerk is still a jerk. :)
mircea_popescu: that;s always a good reason to like a person, neh ?
asciilifeform: "something important happens when a previously privileged position in society suddenly sees incredibly demand that needs to be filled, using enormous quantities of manpower. that happened to programming computers about a decade ago, or maybe two. first, the people will no longer be super dedicated people, and they won't be as skilled or even as smart -- what was once dedication is replaced by greed and someti ☟︎
mircea_popescu: there's a doge-assets ?
punkman: doge's like a block per minute

pankkake: a few seconds unless something is wrong
pankkake: VitalyChernikov: do you have a daughter? I'll buy her for 2 BTC

truffles: once upon a time, he was my fav actor of all time
pankkake: VitalyChernikov, I suppose you currently have a computer, since you're here
mircea_popescu: there's a progression at work.
VitalyChernikov: I am not a scammer, I real need
pankkake: I hope he's just a scammer and he won't really buy a macbook
nubbins`: you need to draw a diagram sometimes to figure them out
nubbins`: i always picture a room full of editors roaring with laughter and saying HAHAHA FUCK IT LET'S PUBLISH IT
nubbins`: i've always had a soft spot for rhyming and alliteration in headlines
mircea_popescu: china taking the whole "you're grounded" thing to a whole new level
mircea_popescu: (stuff happens in romania after a delay)
mircea_popescu: iirc he was saying he got a lot of traffic

truffles: he'd rather do that than challenge me to a game of chess ..
lippoper: that's a horrible party invite
nubbins`: who the fuck wants to buy eight dupes from a reseller with a rating of 11?
lippoper: stop being such a nubbins
nubbins`: thestringpuller, i've seen a gold-plated 1btc silver with a heart-shaped gold defect
nubbins`: go ahead and buy a silver 0.5 for 0.5btc
lippoper: a btc is a btc is a btc
lippoper: as far as I'm concerned it's a better coin
lippoper: The devs for doge have fixed a lot of the LTC issues

simlay: You should write a script that does it once per hour.
simlay: I feel like there's cheaper ways to write quality software than a Macbook Pro.
truffles: never posted a tweet yet oddly
truffles: i got a twitter or 2 though
KRS-: never thought it was a good idea
truffles: i wouldnt know, i never got a facebook
KRS-: Do we have a submission site?
truffles: but what does it mean to have a big heart though
KRS-: truffles i'm proud of you..such a big heart =D
kakobrekla: VitalyChernikov basically the only way out of this is to never repeat it again and claim it was a mis-paste the first time.
truffles: there is a log so ppl will see it no matter what
truffles: "t is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
KRS1: like 5-10 would be a great start for him
KRS1: i feel bad for him truffles throw him a few btc
KRS1: so you want to work more hard but you come here for a handout?
knotwork: at least I had not noticed a lack of centre originally
knotwork: resolved ones sure, what I am puzzling over is where it shows what a Yes or a No would pay on currently still running bet. FAQ seems to indicate that calculation is not including the fee
mod6: read da faq. there is a weight.
mircea_popescu: the flag had borne the king's arms afore, then after the war the communists copied this form, just with a new design.
knotwork: As it looks like going legal could be a big whole in the law that one throws money into
knotwork: So would there be much/any interest in some kind of "buy shares in a fully legally licensed etc etc Open Transactions server" kind of offering?
knotwork: Yet. When hashrate becomes a big selling point it would presumably see more volume and/or price
Apocalyptic: does anyone know of a website that keeps track of some altcoins hashrate ?
mircea_popescu: "everyone is making roi. just find a fiat currency with bad inflation"
knotwork: yeah if anyone knows of a better exchange that has namecoins devcoins and maybe even more merged mined coins I'mi nterested to hear about it
mircea_popescu: this is like a miner bond applied to the exchange
knotwork: not a rebate on your own fees, a share of fees being earned in general
Apocalyptic: <knotwork> Its not interest its just a portion off the fees // where do you get this from ?
mircea_popescu: oh like a rebate ?
knotwork: Its not interest its just a portion off the fees
mircea_popescu: lol that's a fractional reserve innit ?
knotwork: At least that Irish guy someone actually knew he he was had met him at conferences etc but even so "investing" in one kid running a homebrewed website seems a little dubious at thebest of time
knotwork: I havent even taken a flutter on any shares that *are* listed on MPEx yet
mircea_popescu: so i dunno what +rep you think you saw or where, but i dun think such a thing occured.
knotwork: so VIrcurex's second such claim might have jsut been a PR response to the Russian response to the gain in rep Vircurex had got the first time around
mircea_popescu: well, musical chairs can be a fun game, especialyl if you don't bring much money.
knotwork: Claimed to be hacked twice and make good, but the second claim seems more suspect than the first because after it got rep from the first claim a russian site also tried the lets say we were hacked then have customers not lose money way to get rep
Apocalyptic: cause it's been around for a while you know
knotwork: Vircurex listed DOGE so I made a choice between abandoning Vircurex and taking a flutter of trying my devcoin strategy on DOGE
jcpham: i'm callingripple a scam now
mircea_popescu: sounds like a scammor name.
Namworld: ripples are worth a good chunk. They were worth even a lot more earlier, like 5000 ripples for 1 BTC. Now 40k ripples for 1 BTC.
kakobrekla: ill swap with network btc with a fee if anyone cares
knotwork: maybe a couple of grand USD worth or a grand or so depending on when I check the price
knotwork: Yike S.MD is also a downhill cruise lately
knotwork: not impressive growth though not a skyrocket, at least in that period, but maybe it was more impressive in the early days
knotwork: and maybe that would have made quite a chunk too? Are there historic plots/charts etc somewhere?
knotwork: I wasnt about to risk precious bitcoins on some third party site let alone on fourth party offerigns on such a site
Namworld: Would have been enough to make a good chunk
Namworld: Wether you sold high or just accrued divs until it sold, you'd have earned a good chunk
Namworld: You should have bought a ton at IPO
knotwork: I didn't buy into Satoshi Dice since I figured it was only a matter of time before it ran into legal problems. Didn't think oh yeah it could get bought out by someone who has all the right licenses and jurisdiction (did it?)
knotwork: I should have bought more than just a few million DOGE to scatter across a huge range of highball sell offers, my selsl are being eaten up like crazy
Namworld: It's nothing new, been going for a long time
kakobrekla: cmon you are not a btc newb
