a one trick pony
gribble: MtGox lag is 1.716643 seconds. During this time, light travels 0.00344013335151 AU. You could have sent

BingoBoingo: I just like the match up where even though Anand is defending the title, his challenger has
a manager and staff such that Anand seemed the underdog going into this in the popular narrative. Very Rocky III like.

a "smart" anything

a Philip K. Dick story" wait, what?

a web wallet, there is zero guarantee it would be sent on time
truffles: "Unconfirmed bets are not refunded. Kindly see FAQ, and include tx fees next time. Think of the miners!" >>> as
a gambler id be pissed if it was 10 cent
pankkake: bascially he used "bets of bitcoin" like
a web wallet?
mike_c: "I understand that it's hard not to take it personally when you've lost BTC, but no, seriously, if you're into BTC I think it'd be great if you spent the time and the energy (this isn't "condescension", again; it takes
a lot of time and energy, far more than most people are used to expending, to wisely and correctly handle Bitcoin"

a different way

a bit later
nubbins`: is it
a new age of growing weed, too?
mircea_popescu: Sue me. I could do with the discovery documents.
A new age of bitcoin has come. People like you need to get out. But you will be held accountable in the end. Scum
mircea_popescu: "Thieves seldom prosper. You had to buy your trust. You have to rip people off at your betting site (don't say you're not connected) and your exchance is
a ponzi, money laundering scheme. You literally can't do anything honestly."
kakobrekla: hold on
a sec my blockchain just crashed

a little confused about
a complicated should do.
mircea_popescu: as if there ever existed
a twitterho that'd have eschewed linking their 50 follower twitter account to that announcement.

a mega-budget historical adventure called Crusades for Mario Kassar's company Carolco Pictures. When the projected budget went past $200 million, financing collapsed, despite pre-production expenditure of $20 million. Instead of collecting his play-or-pay $15 million, Schwarzenegger asked for all rights to the script in the hope that one day he could get it made.
deadweasel: selling
a standalone usb rng would be
a little too niche to market, i guess?

mircea_popescu: pankkake thanks for that, i sent it along to pr. expect to see it on forum
a lot.
