mircea_popescu: all entertainment, be it games, music, movies, whatever, uses
a centralised distribution and management model.
pixilatedbtc: mircea_popescu hmmmm, good point, I would not claim that, I have only
a little exposure to indie dev and parts of game development (from
a dev perspective, not management) + of course, playing
mircea_popescu: pixilatedbtc but are you familiar with how game (or in general entertainment) is done as
a business ?
jborkl: anyone want 175 AM options on btct - name the strike and time frame, I will give you
a price
Chaang-Noi: why do you seem like
a smart chap? you are asking all the right questions about the right investments
Chaang-Noi: you seem like
a smart chap, im sure you wil do fine
pixilatedbtc: hmmmm, isn't that (the silver guy/game guy thing) about believing he has
a certain set of skills in addition to basic "trusting" he will essentially not run away with the money?
Chaang-Noi: having
a guy buy silver is differnt from having
a guy crate
a game
Chaang-Noi: and that is if im 100 miles from
a women
Chaang-Noi: you were telling me
a month ago how wonderful it was too cook
pixilatedbtc: so civilisation gives you cakes and deprives girls of
a fuck?
Chaang-Noi: most people do not fuck
a girl just to get cake
mircea_popescu: So in this village I live in there lives
a girl. She's like twenty, has fair hair, is pretty and smiles
a lot.
mircea_popescu: the way it works is there's
a sea of ideas and very little resources / even less skill.
mircea_popescu: the way the world works it's not yet been the case that there's
a group with resources and skills but so bereft of ideas that they're beating the bushes looking for someone with one.
pixilatedbtc: so it's more of
a way for developers to get btc funding for game projects you mean?
pixilatedbtc: ThickAsThieves I meant
a game involving btc in some way in the play
mircea_popescu: If you have
a great idea consider I've just insulted you terribly. It'll be easier for both of us.
pixilatedbtc: so if
a new guy comes with an idea for
a btc game, how would this help him?
Chaang-Noi: i want
a red one as well, but dont want to say bfl shill or anything like that
Chaang-Noi: kako since you did not click scam you just gave him
a plus one support
truff1es: if we did
a study im confident the nicer ones gets further progress than dicks on average
orkaa: when you're
a stranger
truff1es: he fails at being nice and fails at being
a dick though
truff1es: everyone cant be
a winner though
thestringpuller: Success if like someone falling from
a plane who has
a parachute
furuknap: Success is irrelevant and more
a symptom than
a method. Failure is what drives people forward either into the abyss oro into non-ignorance.
gribble: MtGox lag is 0.065128 seconds. During this time, light travels 0.000130515782791 AU. You could have sent
a bitcoin to the other side of the Earth, along the surface (0.0001339 AU).
ThickAsThieves: to me, looks like Gov took down
a kiddie porn ring or something
furuknap: Your sense of
a past era tends to be informed by paintings and literature and drama that are not crap, even though at any given moment pop culture is filled with more crap than masterpieces. Why? It isn’t because people were better artists back in the day. It is because the good stuff survives, and the bad stuff is forgotten.
jurov: just
a preliminary idea, i ahve to model it if it's feasible
Chaang-Noi: more than
a couple of people did the buy 10,000 get 1,250 free deal

a 2nd payout address this
kakobrekla: no no but lets do this without
a contract or
a platform
furuknap: TAT: Technically, only the public demo must be announced two weeks in advance.
A 'private demo by
a well-respected member' can still happen, as I read it. Still, I'm fairly certain that deadline failed, though.
Chaang-Noi: lucky for me it just caused more people to call him
a scammer
Chaang-Noi: my scam radar has been up with TF for
a while now,
Chaang-Noi: taking
a website down will not close down
a site operating in russia
Chaang-Noi: well, im sure tehy will jsut make
a new domain
bitesak:
a popular libertyreserve exchange apparently which recently added bitcoin
Chaang-Noi: okay, i asked
a guy who is doing the buying for me
KRS-1: im wondering is it even worth it to mine at any rate against asic miner, its
a matter of time before they own the blockchain
KRS-1: LMAO

KRS-1: Mark Karpeles reminds me of
a big baby. I just want to poke his tummy.
KRS-1: Someone needs to do
a parody video of Mark.
Chaang-Noi: oh well just 45 btc and i bet i will get close to that back over
a year if not more
Chaang-Noi: i think it should ahve been
a good idea
Neil: kakobrekla: I tried last month. Problem is there is no feedback on why
a new bet is rejected.
thestringpuller: It's about this guy who discovers time travel somehow, he's given some magic words or something by
a gypsy like figure, and he's allowed to bring one person with him or something. Anyhow he gets this info as his relationship with his current girlfriend/wife is deteriorating. So he goes back into time back into the 60's or so to the university where they met to try and alter the timeline. Anyhow he does this and r
thestringpuller: So I had
a dream about
a movie or
a story or something. I dunno, but it starred Leo or Matt Damon or some other white fucker who likes to act "deep". ANYHOW lemme know if this sounds familiar:
Diablo-D3: so ~2.48 would be
a good AM value?
Neil: Wow, 1 hr since

a very high chance of being shut down in the european union imo
eyetalian: the compliance is simple you need to be registred as
a MSB business + AML
jurov: if not even
a bank dares to go in, what friendiless is that?
eyetalian: jurov: coinlab opened up
a corporate account at
a bank, thats all they did
orkaa: eyetalian, but that's like saying that the US health system is very friendly …. it's just that most people have
a money problem
eyetalian:

eyetalian: he was saying US is not
a bitcoin friendly country
eyetalian: theres nothing illegal about exchanging bitcoins for cash on
a person to person basis
eyetalian: and anyone putting in
a little effort can easily evade most ID requirements
eyetalian: sadaam had like

a arrest record in the US
eyetalian: the truth is if you are involved in
a US jurisdiction and play by their rules you are fine
orkaa: no one had
a trial
orkaa: eyetalian, so girls shouldn't wear short skirts 'cause they give guys
a reason to rape them
eyetalian: dont give them
a reason to target you
eyetalian: the US government is like
a chained up dog, harmless as long as you stay away.
jurov: it doesn't matter if they are randoms. they have
a right to trial, usg denies it
