mircea_popescu: ;;later tell peterl what's the status on the rss thing ?
mircea_popescu: i don't recall, was that supposed to work or not work ?
mircea_popescu: i imagine the idea is that perhaps bitcoin futures may be made to work like gold futures. which won't work, but hey, if google got too much dough we can always take some.
mircea_popescu: doubt there's that much interest for usd futures, but hey.
mircea_popescu: this is roughly like someone purporting to have an appartment for rent, comes with a "list of forbidden activities" : no opposite sex visitors, no masturbating, no drinking, no playing videogames
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: some derp host obv << "banned software" ? wtf is wrong with these people.
mircea_popescu: then you use the extra to make an exclusive deal with the supplier and that's that.
mircea_popescu: well, it would work in the following way : those other sites get sold out, you still have a stock.
mircea_popescu: what happened to "we are sold out. if you want to preorder it's going to be $100 extra. if you do not want to preorder, you can have it when we get it, at a $250 surcharge"
mircea_popescu: <TomServo> 2014-09-09 Note: We have sold out and are waiting on the next production run batch which will be delivered in a few months. We are sorry for the wait, but if you pre-order now we will send you a $20 gift certificate. <<< this is so braindamaged.
mircea_popescu: however, he doesn't hold a large balance, maybe that's the first thing bitcoin foundation can spend on
mircea_popescu: alive, yes. standing... hard to say. shy of politics ?
mircea_popescu: the guy that made the recent tx relay streamline thing
mircea_popescu: actually, bluematt did maybe 2/3 of bitcoin testing to date.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes either you or mod6 gotta start managing people!
mircea_popescu: good games are always abstraction of real life mechanisms.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform custom pacemakers have been the norm for not-poor people for what, 20 years ?
mircea_popescu: jurov anyway, you should prolly apply, then you can sue for unfair treatment
mircea_popescu: Naphex problem being they also want to do it for free, but mayhap there's a solution for that.
mircea_popescu: jurov: prolly i can be never classified to work with usg sekrets <<< you saw i lolled at the "medical devices" part yes ? :D
mircea_popescu: "On the balance of probabilities this would seem the most likely outcome, strictly because history unerringly flows in that direction which most cruely rapes the “average person”."
mircea_popescu: Yet another one of them is that consumers revolt, entrepreneurs intervene, before the end of 2015 there’s about a thousand to a million different Bitcoin forks, each with its ten million-ish monetary base worth about a dollar, on global average. The size of the inter-Bitcoins market, the complexity and confusion ensuing makes pretty much everything unmanageable for the “ordinary person”
mircea_popescu: Naphex: a enterprise node, hook into trusted bitcoin core nodes over P2p protocol. Index and cache the data << this is not a bad idea.
mircea_popescu: chicks the fucking definition of "here, i found this model passed out in the bathroom"

mircea_popescu: the result is a very cruel mistreatment of human soft tissue.
mircea_popescu: well, to be generous, it's not the voice that's the problem. it's the god awful pretense that one can understand things by guessing what words might mean "in context"
mircea_popescu: just, a medieval institution, arguably inadequate for modern times.
mircea_popescu: mentally compare the difference between an estate owned by nobody and commons
mircea_popescu: of course, us shitshow would reject this, but it's a perfectly valid approach.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually, satoshi was smart here. an anon holding copyright means that nobody else can claim it, and it can never be enforced.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, we can't. to remove them they'd have to at first somehow been included.
mircea_popescu: lol look at that, reddit asks for bitcoin foundation to remove satoshi from its rolls, the fucktards react by removing satoshi from the bitcoin code they're raping.
mircea_popescu: jurov yes, but i myself can also take it away, and have, and will, if the person's obnoxious.
mircea_popescu: <undata> but to what end, then? << you seen miller's crossing ?
