a 5 eye country and am
a citzen of another (
a Brit living in Canada)

a princely mil-spec estate is
a nice thing for any bitcoin millionaire to have, its just I am not quite ready to buy it all by myself yet.
decimation: sounds like
a few hundred $ in cleanup costs alone
Duffer1: it's not
a supervillain layer without it
knotwork: the sattelite dish is
a conundrum what to do with, yes. Maybe just sell that off and use the geodesic for something else

a backup bid on
a nice property here that was at auction Saturday - 2br 1ba , two, two car garages, $16k
knotwork: Personally half
a mill is too large
a percent of my wealth to want to blow it all on one investment especially since I except bitcoins will appreciate faster than it will
quellhorst: but of course she won't do that, she thinks she can make
a better google
knotwork: For half
a million Canadian or less I can get an ex military base with full backup power and surveillance and electric alarms fence and keypad operated gates and 60ft or so sattelite dish (the kind inside
a geodesic dome with tracking engines etc to track
a satelite)
knotwork: I think I might finally have

a thing…
decimation: It's probably only
a matter of time until US citizenship is bestowed upon everyone who is
a citizen of the "international community"
mircea_popescu: decimation that'd depend. i'm not
a us citizen, so perhaps is like asking me if i'm
a christian democrat
mircea_popescu: ie, you can never get rich under
a fiat system, all you can do is become poor. it's at least the consensus of pre-fiat economists everywhere.
decimation: Hugh Hendry has made the point that China is screwed because its industrialization is taking place under
a fiat regime, wheras the US was industrialized under
a more-or-less gold standard
decimation: ?In 1890, professors salaries [at Amherst College] were $ 2,500, more than twenty times tuition. The step up from laborer to professor was immense, for the average wage earner in 1890 earned $425

☟︎ decimation: according to his wikipedia page it appears it was part of
a settlement of some kind

a btrfs snapshot, etc
pankkake: "sun had
a political model like somalia"
decimation: Diablo, is there
a relationship between those people and the btrfs people?
decimation: "Larry Ellison has been involved with two philanthropic organizations: first he made
a 500 or 300 million dollar donation to Stanford. Oh, that sounds good. ... in exchange for not admitting wrongdoing in an options backdating scandal"
Diablo-D3: zfs is more than just code, its
a standardization
Diablo-D3: because I simply dont give
a fuck about oracle's impl, its no longer compatible with zfs
decimation: I wouldn't touch it with
a 10 foot pole
decimation: I guess if you want
a working implementation of zfs, that's what you need to use
decimation: The "illumos" project picked it up and made it work, "openindiana" is

a bit like altcoins, they often miss Bitcoins to rename

a billionnaire
mircea_popescu: "
A lot of people on the Bitcointalk forums have made educated guesses, the fact is he still works on his business and charges for subscription to his blog, I doubt he has amassed the largest stash of Bitcoins in the world."
pankkake: but that would be fun to have stats like the forbes top100… I bet you'd see
a lot of ups and downs
mircea_popescu: that may be
a point, i suppose
a good chunk of people hanging on past the three month noob expiration date do so strictly on the basis of insulating their thinking and their memory.
mircea_popescu: i like all the "no way there is
a bitcoin billionaire, brb let me push the stock up"

nubbins`: it's been almost
a year since i stopped working in
a cubicle
gribble: Error: "cake" is not
a valid command.
nubbins`: realistically,
a brainwallet is one of the better choices, provided you can construct one that doesn't suck
nubbins`: it's not like
a little strip of aluminum kicking around somewhere is without risk
nubbins`: just have backups in
a couple places.
nubbins`: and if you're too cheap to buy metal tape, cut up
a can of pepsi
the20year: be much more interesting if you could emboss on
a piece of metal
a QR code for the storage
mike_c: i would totally buy the snsa wallet pack with
a device for cold storage and
a device for lukewarm storage.
mike_c: nubbins`: yes, but wouldn't you like to replace your hot wallet with
a snsa wallet?
the20year: whats your opinion of electrum as
a cold wallet nubbins?
nubbins`: i dunno, i think you're fucked if you're trusting
a trezor as
a cold wallet
mike_c: that seems attractive to me. i can keep more money in
a lukewarm wallet instead of
a hot one.
pankkake: same appeal as
a hardware pgp?
jurov: just
a gizmo that's much more difficult to extract privkeys from than from computer

a countermeasure to the rise of the machinces
KRS1: ...Oh wow, I know Chris Capuccio from damn..almost 15-20 yrs ago. I was
a user on dqc.org for like..ever.
KRS1: Did mircea_popescu really come to the rescue or was this an investment decision for him? In other words was it
a philanthropic decision?

A mysterious Bitcoin-powered white knight is reported to have come to the rescue of the struggling OpenBSD Foundation."
truffles: hmm why do i need
a cert for this site!
BingoBoingo: (If gambling was finance it would start allocating resources to building
a more appreciative body for the remains of Halep's tits)
BingoBoingo: At +915 I should have went 5 BTC agaist Serena trying to break the book as opposed to the 5 ten thousandths of
a BTC I actually bet, but...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've had the IRL people refering to you as the BitKing because it helps impart
a sense of scale. And helps enforce the idea that the only meaningful policy decision Obama could make would be to legalize the weed. Which would help Obama by making him less
a hypocrit, but won't help Serena Williams get past Halep in the French Open.
BingoBoingo: So many choices. How do I pick the next one, but... Oh wait. Like literally the only activity I have mentioned myself doing is pricing risk (aka gambling). Any n00bs want to learn the art hit me up at 1LvCuntsJyFFQsLuJhBXBPokbQa7SAyMr4 with at least one BTC and
a sig that can prove you sent it.
BingoBoingo: Huh, I just got 20 emails with the subject line saying "Millionaire" and the text body saying "Dumb Shit" me thinks someone has

a calendar next year.

a good place to hangout no less.
mircea_popescu: prolly
a record for
a 3month old blog to be first page on everything
mircea_popescu: "Ah, the irony of OpenBSD paying for its computers racking up
a huge electricity bill using money made by computers racking up huge electricity bills."
BingoBoingo: Fuck... As someone with log files to
a site that has been target before. Slashdot totally dwarfs reddit.
herbijudlestoids: well, i have to go to bed early tonight so i guess im gonna /quit. nice to meet you strange people and thanks for donating to save openbsd mircea_popescu that was
a very nice thing to do
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Wait, you are waiting for me to spin
a reliable narrative?
mircea_popescu: It's going to be hilarious seeing the inevitable fall and
a bunch of dumbfounded dipshits standing around saying "whu happened?!""
mircea_popescu: "Seriously, you people are nuts. Bitcoin was bad enough, now any half-wit with
a web browser can go create "currencies".
