mircea_popescu: "let me tell you what i think of all the things i know nothing about. it's the reddinternet!"
mircea_popescu: "i don't speak anything but english and english is mostly spoken in north america. i find this statistically interesting!"
mircea_popescu: "as a derp bathing in the lake, i find it interesting to pretend like the lake fauna is pretending to be the whole world. anthropologically!"
mircea_popescu: tho thinking about it i dun recall who's running coinminer
mircea_popescu: anyway, since you're using friendly ppl i wouldn't much expect actual scam
mircea_popescu: so you don't get any credit for what you find, merely for the hashes.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo anyway the idea of a pool is that you share your stuff
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> hey that's enough to keep a guy afloat in bsas for a few months at least << the theory that doge is worth dollars, as in over 1, is still lulzy.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> decimation: I just did rent X hash for Y time and pointed it at a pool. Have no idea how the pool figures payouts << you mining atc or btc ?
mircea_popescu: i look forward to the day random derps all over the us can't afford internet derpage anymore because bitcoin competition has made electricity too expensive.

mircea_popescu: yeah, most of them had enough sense to get in the wot. kinda my point there.
mircea_popescu: speaking of specialised hardware, anyone got a box somewhere they want to rent me ?
mircea_popescu: i hate london, and why do you think a pub somewhere'd be a better venue ?!
mircea_popescu: the problem now is that government has no further reason to exist and no means of supporting itself.
mircea_popescu: the reason we met is because for a few years that is no longer the problem.
mircea_popescu: that ~used~ to be the problem, before we met, for many years.
mircea_popescu: has nothing to do with murder. everything to do with college degrees, global warming and so on.
mircea_popescu: "this isn't a good apple because its not fda approved" "have you tasted it ?" "i don't need to"
mircea_popescu: well ok, so now we can agree, the problem is the red tape.
mircea_popescu: the salem trials is the convenient case study here. you can decry them as "incipient government establishing itself the way government establiushes itself all time, all places : through murder". but just as well... people kill, and some killers are persuasive.
mircea_popescu: that's also never going away. if i thought the victim was kinda cool i'd not have killed them. once i killed them, obviously i will go on thinking they sucked.
mircea_popescu: the state as a voluntary association, all they who choose and wish to pay taxe sand obeys the law is what we have here already.
mircea_popescu: well bureaucracy needs to control the money, and so that's the end of that.
mircea_popescu: you can be in any camp you want, because with bitcoin what camp you're in dun matter anymore.
mircea_popescu: not like it's exactly a mystery what definitions i use :D
mircea_popescu: (but it rests me at ease to hear from the usg_press_machine itself that crypto is no longer armament)
mircea_popescu: to me it sounds kinda like "a movie can't be good if it doesn't have car chases and those anti-physical sparks bullets make in hollywood"
mircea_popescu: how's this formal approach to things worked for you so far ?
mircea_popescu: well, inasmuch as someone';s breaking the law and not paying taxes, yes. that'd be the definition of a rebellion.
mircea_popescu: the situation is in fact quite symmetrical, whichever side you're on the other will prolly not like it.
mircea_popescu: in short : your notion that sitting with the usg is safe and joining the rebels is dangerous is fundamentally broken. sitting with the usg is safe except if the rebels get the upper hand.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and as to "never ever" : pre nurenberg, this trying of a foreign power's officers and ministers had also never ever happened.
mircea_popescu: here's the legal convention : anyone who worked for the tsar in any capacity, 20 years diging ice in siberia.
mircea_popescu: the future is eminently unknowable. i for one am definitely going to push for hangings.
mircea_popescu: there's no rule of nature that says the us can never be so identified. for those people who do make that identification, you're a criminal.
mircea_popescu: usg_press_machin but anyway, a secondary point to your " obeying the law and paying taxes?" is that if you happen to be obeying the "laws" of a terrorist organisation and giving it money, you may end up in hot water with a lot of people.
