mircea_popescu: funny man
mircea_popescu: hahhahahahaha
mircea_popescu: ha
mircea_popescu: keep them busy for 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: fuck me i'm good.
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: two years ago yo.
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: thestringpuller: I wonder if this huge push on sidechains is because the power rangers realize the blocksize ain't increasing anytime soon... << http://trilema.com/2013/bitcoin-prices-bitcoin-inflexibility/
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: holy shit batman.
mircea_popescu: wait mikayla believes mila jovovich is NOT a carbon copy and unique ?!
mircea_popescu: actually you'll hear hell from people trying to pretend that this is the right way, and pgp is XYZ FUDstuffs even today.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anon is permitted to hold copyright by bern convention, actually.
mircea_popescu: punkman: derp << that shit was so stupid...
mircea_popescu: signing multiple times is inviting trouble.
mircea_popescu: <punkman> I've also thought of signing the "lite" bundles << seems redundant. sign once, which you do, with the tx.
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: he heard words and therefore words because words.
mircea_popescu: mike_c he is one of the word processors.
mircea_popescu: the brits had that.
mircea_popescu: just, a medieval institution, arguably inadequate for modern times.
mircea_popescu: no, kolkhoz is exactly the british commons.
mircea_popescu: (ie, an estate not owned by anybody)
mircea_popescu: mentally compare the difference between an estate owned by nobody and commons
mircea_popescu: well, the difference is subtle.
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: yeah, take out the dumb shit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, we can't. to remove them they'd have to at first somehow been included.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/usgavin-the-lolcow/#comment-109294 << lulz.
mircea_popescu: logic, usgavin style.
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: mike_c log1. works
mircea_popescu: !s removed satoshi
mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: or maybe i don't actually understand this attack
mircea_popescu: that someone'd have to be kind-of foolish
mircea_popescu: that said, termination may also be an idea
mircea_popescu: jurov yes, but i myself can also take it away, and have, and will, if the person's obnoxious.
mircea_popescu: they risk their ass doing asinine shit like that.
mircea_popescu: jurov but listen, the someone should be in l2 right ?
mircea_popescu: <undata> but to what end, then? << you seen miller's crossing ?
mircea_popescu: gotta make it news, right ?
mircea_popescu: well, like sex is no longer fashionable so the girl will claim she was "raped", just so the visit by two state employees to confiscate some contraband is called a "raid"
mircea_popescu: undata obama finished the reorganisation of everthing law enforcement as a homeland security sub.
mircea_popescu: prolly
mircea_popescu: preferably with the logo where the butt kisses it.

mircea_popescu: you're using a meta concept as if it were a thing.
mircea_popescu: short and sweet
mircea_popescu: once it disappears, irrespective of what the usg propaganda machine claims, it's happened.
mircea_popescu: the law can not compel one to lie, and so as long as that statement appears, it's not happened
mircea_popescu: no, the way these things work is the company has a firm negative statement published. "we have not been approached to so and so".
mircea_popescu: how'd that be better ?
mircea_popescu: !up Newar
mircea_popescu: this comic font business is neither passive nor unavoidable
mircea_popescu: for something to be a canary it has to be a passive, unavoidable mechanism.
mircea_popescu: but they'd be legally forbidden from stopping hitting that button.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i fail to get how this is supposed to be a canary.
mircea_popescu: all payments move to smaller units and the story ends
mircea_popescu: magic numbers are all equal. if 99.999999% of bitcoin were destroyed as you describe, the remainder coupla hundred btc will play the role of twenty million
mircea_popescu: <TheNewDeal> perhaps, or it's not worth anything to anyone any more << that's pure nonsense.
mircea_popescu: uh wut
mircea_popescu: <decimation> at least, that's my understanding, would like to know if it's incorrect. << there's other ways to verify too, but this one definitely works.
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal so ?
mircea_popescu: <PeterL> are you familiar with the deedbot? << exactly.
mircea_popescu: but if you're trying to prevent the asshole from getting resources, why even consider the matter, just ignore it.
mircea_popescu: but you gotta decide which line you're going. inasmuch as it keeps the asshole from getting resources, yes it's better than giving him bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: well sure, this is true.
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal well, would you say that the best way to help your poor neighbour is to burn some soup ?
mircea_popescu: but possibly.
mircea_popescu: cazalla been a few close to 1mb this year.
mircea_popescu: <TheNewDeal> do you think that's true? << no, it's stupid.
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal he's being difficult.
mircea_popescu: herp.
mircea_popescu: "We also need to find the sender's address, so we know where to send the money. This is done by looking at the inputs of the original transaction. The transaction can have multiple inputs that are all under the control of the sending party. We just send everything back to one of the input addresses at random."
mircea_popescu: you mean where private first class amanda stole all the data ?
mircea_popescu: o look, tin foil mitigaiton for ir.
mircea_popescu: "medical devices" ?
mircea_popescu wonders how undata would know this
mircea_popescu: should be an amusing shootfootfest
mircea_popescu: anyway, in this particular case the best rebuttal is letting the guy do whatever he does after "setting sights"
mircea_popescu: flowchart.
mircea_popescu: maybe we should just publish a schematic, help these dumbasses self-rebutt
mircea_popescu: ^
