KRS1: chatter is talking about a dump of 200K btc on the market
Duffer1: "We have a nice solution, and that is called The Bitcloud Cryptography Law (BCL). It is a serie of laws, an advanced version of Proof of Stake, implemented to ensure that everyone is acting as they should. Every single thing in the Bitcloud is governed by those laws, and there will be judges and veredicts, so only when the entire net agrees, money is generated or transactions approved."

KRS1: there will be a time i'll be interested in quantity but not at the moment
KRS1: I should probably ask this in #bitcoin-otc, but would rather here since I know many of you..I'm looking to buy some amount of btc just to get a rating on wot. I had to get a new gpg key.
BingoBoingo: Oh, if only we were still in the patent medicine age. I prolly have just enough knowledge to be a more effective and more dangerous quack than that dude.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Basically every cell that does something visible on the macro scale (neurons and muscle cells) utilizes action potentials. Responding t sound means there are a lot of surviving neurons and muscle cells in communication... At least for a while.

truffles: rarely do i use it as a perjorative
Apocalyptic: truffles, do you think of yourself as a nerd ?
KRS1: Perhabs a merging of fuckoffs and retards; not to regard the retarded community in any derogatory manner, but instead to give those who should know better the same sub 70 i.q. labelling.

Apocalyptic: maybe in a few years I will have that same comment though
Apocalyptic: when I look back a coupla years i realize I was wasting so much time;..
KRS1: Thats very impressive to say the least. I've recently been involved in a conversation of the value of a college degree in the modern I.T. job market. I've actually been laughed at for thinking it has value in these waters. I suppose, even if I did waste my time with a degree in this field, being open minded and thinking critically are benefits that have value regardless. Such as the

diametric: once in a while is relative
asciilifeform: pankkake: every once in a while, the gentoo dev people push out a turd that auto-breaks everything.

diametric: I was sitting in my office in 2009 when I was reading about bitcoin the first time. I loaded up the crappy web based miner at the time while I read about it. I tried finding some stuff to spend it on, but the list was like, 5 pieces. The only one interesting to me was a voip provider, but it was like 10 bitcoin a month or something.

pankkake: there was like an exploit a week
mircea_popescu: aled their name, email address, age range, gender and zip code. This was not a breach of the main user database itself, but a flat text file used only for reporting purposes that was generated by ColdFusion code that was saved on a publicly available portion of the Digital Convergence web server.

mircea_popescu: derp. some retarded 20something that can't hold anyone occupied for five minutes is in no sense of the word a "babe".
mircea_popescu: "Many times I observed that while my team was busy in demos with other prospects, the booth babes were unable to hold the interest of these execs for the extra five minutes that I needed to get a person from our team to engage. I had no such trouble with the other ladies since I had requested that specific soft skill."

asciilifeform: that is, can a motivated person with an undergrad-level education actually understand the design in its totality?
mircea_popescu: this works sort-of well, until you end up with things like... i dunno, every show on tv being a honeypot by this approach, as well as every newspaper and most of everything else, cause they damn sure don't work for the advertised/intended purposes.
unclehowell: Hey everyone. I wanted to introduce my tech startup. It's called Wave. We're planning to make internet access free using a new generation of ads-for-access.
