ThickAsThieves: i know i would
ThickAsThieves: benkay, i suspect mp's people would prefer their privacy over "image"
benkay: and you're endeavoring to write new rules, I get it.
mircea_popescu: i'm giving a slightly different approach a go.
benkay: so returning to culture shock, I'm accustomed to things being indexed instead of known
mircea_popescu: not really, no. but anyway. it isn't/never was a matter of "do some research child". in the sense that i answered if asked, but in general stuff is known.
mircea_popescu: yeah i thin kthere's some conflation at work here.
mircea_popescu: i don't follow benkay ?
benkay: "but i lols so powerful image is nothing"
benkay: I guess I'm just bemused by the difference in approach towards image in your area.
mircea_popescu: if he doesn't trust me that's pretty much of no import. if i don't trust him that's a serious impairment on his future.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: I just sold some panties for 1 bitcoin
mircea_popescu: after all, i'm not proving myself to random unknown noob on the forum
benkay: which induces a bit of culture shock, in that i generally expect people to be proud of the team they work with, and eager to show that they're above board and real grownups etc.
benkay: but if I say, 'dear mircea_popescu, where would I go to learn about the amazing team you've assembled to run your business?' your answer is 'do some research, child'
mircea_popescu: the famous court proceedings where i beat back the romanian govt had been amply linked but i guess you never saw that.
truff1es: i dunno who are who
benkay: i'm trying to highlight the double standard of "no pro-grade team called out on site, where team is expected to be called out" vs the MPEx approach which is "MPEx is run by someone well versed in power dynamics and getting people to do things. trust him to select the right people to do things."
kakobrekla: i have logs from 1 year ago but they are all fucked up
ThickAsThieves: I have logs for most of the past month or two
kakobrekla: and searchable i guess
kakobrekla: i think i got contacted by a scammer and he is trying to sell some cas coins (and i think he doest even know what that is)
kakobrekla: anyone got cas coins for sale, i need a few moar
mircea_popescu: "From what I've googled, I understand that scalping helps lower spreads but ultimately, aren't you just betting upon a upward or downward price movement?"
mircea_popescu: wish i could recall da fuck it was called.
thestringpuller: "Hey man I have this AWESOME idea. Girls need bra's right? LETS MAKE A WEBSITE TO GET CUSTOM BRAS"
thestringpuller: I'm just sick of bitcoin entrepreneurs
mircea_popescu: so i pay X's bill. sooo ?
mircea_popescu: i don't see what regulations they would be breaking.
mircea_popescu: i should know.
mircea_popescu: well i dunno wtf that's all about. here you can pay other people's bills
thestringpuller: pay via a server in africa I wouldn't think so...

thestringpuller: i'm sure that's crossed your browser at some point
thestringpuller: i didn't know they had video games in romania
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I'm for the "mandatory pedestrian ram" plus "automatic liability of idiots" - method of traffic regulation.
asciilifeform: problem is, "why should I stop for red light" is mere Darwin-food when the noob has a motorcycle. In the case of BTC, he has a trailer loaded with bricks.
thestringpuller: "Oh I thought you wanted 1.40 per sale not 2 dollars"
thestringpuller: but people who say, "I don't need to learn math" end up coming up short when you give them money to do business.
mircea_popescu: "i'm too cool to suck cock" "i don't need to learn math" "why should i stop for red lights" etc.
thestringpuller: I would say Keiser is still a n00b.
mircea_popescu: i guess arrogance is the universal problem.
thestringpuller: "I bought in at 10 dollars, now I'm rich" bullshit etc.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu I feel as though you allude the biggest problem bitcoin faces is arrogance amongst n00bs...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I once wrote a FORTH to Brainfuck compiler. Betcha they dug it out from the sands of time and are using it.

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla The mystery man came over and he said "I'm outta sight!"
mircea_popescu: "The reason there are pledges, which cost more and more when the # of participants is increasing, is that otherwise I would benefit too much from the tickets. The ticket income increases quadratically with the number of admissions, the costs go up perhaps in the 1.5th power. "
mircea_popescu: see ? i'm on the forum. you're not.
