http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-05#1917355 << i do not
think data should be included with ffa ; while i do believe data should be included
with bitcoin.
the reason for
the split is
that i perceive a difference between design and implementation / algorithmics and code, so following. if you see peh as a sort of "packaging of
this
theory for consumption"
then maybe worth including,
mircea_popescu: i just meant from
the slutpurse carrier pov. but sure.
Mocky: re pimp, I have no gripe with
the guy. as good
trades with him as with anyone
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, BingoBoingo how's
the status, are you rather short or rather long dubaloo liquidity ?
☟︎☟︎ Mocky: i have a coin
to repay mircea_popescu and now
that i have what with
to
trade, expect
to be a continuous bidder on piz auctions
☟︎ mircea_popescu: is
this wrong, should i jus
tstfu so as not
to ruin
the small
trades for interested ppls ?
☟︎ Mocky: I just met a few cool people from LBC, like
that guy who sold me a few grand of crumpled 20's out of his girls sequin'd 'stripper purse'
mircea_popescu was vaguely consdiering sending a large wire for pizz again, on
the grounds of
this vague impression i have
they're desperate for liquidity.
Mocky: this is
theoretical, i'm not
trying
to build out my east coast
trading volume. I
think i'll be mostly buying here from auction
☟︎ Mocky: swampistan!
then what, how
to find any
there now?
mircea_popescu: well... if all else fails can always
take daytrip,
to closest urban center.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-16 17:30 mircea_popescu: when i was about six or so, visiting some relatives who had a farm, i discovered a romanian bareneck (kind of chicken) chick drowning in
the sty efflux. so i picked it out, and it was a pet for a year or so and
then made a great soup. rooster,
too.

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-05#1917383 << so hopefully you had enough sense
to create relationships and undermine
the usgistani "platform" rather
than
the converse, undermine your own sanity
to feed usgistani "platform" your own guts ?
mircea_popescu: i guess
that means
the forbearance window's also closed on
that stjohn_piano_2 dork.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: o wow, how cool am i, check me out, reached
the end of logs!
mircea_popescu: because bitcoin exists.
this is
the very definition of market as an integration-of-value-symbolics metric.
mircea_popescu: currently you can put a much better price on privacy (and meaningful,
too, as a % of
the wealth involved -- contrary
to what
the poortards imagine, privacy is not an abstract, privacy is strictly a function of money as a counter of value.
mircea_popescu: properly, ie from
the bottom up, not "invented by some government" (which is why
they're "dark", ie, do not figure in bureaucrat's files) and which is also why
they work and so forth and so on.
mircea_popescu: because
this is what bitcoin fucking does -- it creates real markets.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-05 22:25 asciilifeform: ( can laugh at
this hypothesis if you like, but i can't
think of how else
to explain
the still-palpable amt of minerism
that happens ~outside~ of cn and other cheap-mains locales )
a111: Logged on 2019-06-05 22:19 asciilifeform: Mocky: if i had bottle of 'become mircea_popescu' elixir, i'd share with you a glass. but as it is e.g. asciilifeform was entirely unable
to get hold of bitcoin at all for many yrs, when could not find anyone who had it + would not deal with goxisms
a111: Logged on 2019-06-05 22:17 asciilifeform: (
typically
they fold up and go straight-ebay when keeper wakes up
to
the fact
that he pays rent for shop and sits in chair for mere 10% of his
take... )
a111: Logged on 2019-06-05 22:17 Mocky: im not a proponent of inca platform. would love
to find
traders in raleigh some other way, but how
to find?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-05 22:16 asciilifeform has been
to various 2ndhand irons shops (industrial, entirely disinterested in konsoomer rubbish) over past 20y, and erry single one , where
talked
to proprietor, 'i have
this shop, but 90% of revenue is ebay'
mircea_popescu: if so, your created relationships / network you sucked out of
them just became more valuable now. if not -- well let
that be a fucking lesson
to you already, right ? reddit exists
SOLELY to suck its users off it (selectively, of course,
they can keep
their ninjashoguns) ; not
to send it your blog readers.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-05 22:12 Mocky:
tru but you could answer cash ads without id, and which I did a lot of last year
a111: Logged on 2019-06-05 19:41 asciilifeform: ( obv.
this method is NOT fastest means
to compute product of 1st n primes; it is not exactly secret what
the first coupla mil primes are, and one could compute product in <1s , if
taking what
they are on faith. but illustrated method does not rely on 'magic #s' )
a111: Logged on 2019-05-28 22:16 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform,
thinkign about it,
there's just no way
to have a proper
trb without
the rainbows. and yes it'd be 32 gb, but so what.
the point stands,
there is a minimal bitcoin box.

☝︎☝︎☟︎ diana_coman: hm, I ...would have failed it even at ~12; but I see what you mean, provided
that respondent actually gives /is aware of real answer.
mircea_popescu: (i eminently do not say it has no failure rate. not even pregnancy
tests make
that sorta claim -- piss on one as a dude long enough you might be surprised eventually.)
mircea_popescu: as per
the "males -- born
to die
trying ; females -- born
to carefully & spawn"
theory of biological gender difference, it even makes sense. in any case,
the included prediction : i say
there's not going
to be a better (oral ; over
the internet) gender
test.
mircea_popescu: in fact,
this is SO fucking ~biologically~ specific i'm even proposing it as
the ~best currently known~ gender
test. 1. female path : what are you going
to do ? "im going
to
try X" why X ? "it's what everyone else
tries". 2. male path : what are you going
to do ? "i'm going
to
try Y" why Y ? "never fucking heard of it before"
mircea_popescu: diana_coman,
tried,
tested, known not
to work, nevertheless "tested" again by
every new cuntlet, on usual
theory, "this idiocy is
tested so often it must be good sense".
a111: Logged on 2014-05-23 17:33 benkay:
the solution apparently is
to ban naked short selling and protect
the institutionalized idiocy
that is
the US paper
transfer 'network'.
diana_coman: 'dat solution is
tried and
tested, yes? lolz
mircea_popescu: and guess what : femstate components always come up with
the same "solutions",
too.
mircea_popescu is great expert at identifying breakage in "virtual economies". in fact, one
thing
that kept his interest in gaming alive past
the single player neverwinter nights / gothic/ nox etc era.
diana_coman: well yes, sitting while flapping about as
to how not-sitting
diana_coman: and by "breaks"
there I meant more like fundamentally break as in ...it's not really designed well; (because why design esp for "so
that it can break and be repaired")
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, no,
that's exactly what i'm saying.
they wanted
to "make money" sitting rather
than
to make money making money.
lobbesbot: mircea_popescu:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: !Qlater
tell phf hey props on your parser, it does right
thing with context-supplementing bracket and link-anchoring bracked mixed in same line!
diana_coman: eh,
they wanted
to make some money not
to have
to fix
things!
mircea_popescu: this is even why we play seriously : so as
to have broken
things
that have been fixed (and broken again and fixed again, xn) rather
than shiny untouched "things".
mircea_popescu: whether
they're reducible
to one another or not is a point i'm still waffly on, so.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 21:05 mircea_popescu: cuz it's never dark, from inside.
the amusing situation of classical eschatology is
that lucifer simply forked
the chain, and as best can
tell is a very credible and not at all falen angel.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-05 15:46 asciilifeform:
then plox
to expand
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: I suspect
the game will ...break if one plays it seriously; like most anything "done"
mircea_popescu: hmm, did i even recount
the sad story of
that
typically moronic clerk ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: dumb as it is, it's not merely widespread, it's universal. "the path
to making money in a service economy is not at all doing exceptionally well at serving, but on
the contrary, being a
fucktarded romanian and saying no all
the
time!"
mircea_popescu: it's so very unspeakably dumb if you
think about it, wtf, LET PEOPLE PLAY.
that's why
the fuck you made it in
the first place, yes ? so
they play it ?
mircea_popescu: utter fucked in
the head, scared by virtual, desperately needing some fake scarcity folk.
mircea_popescu: nfi how
they got
to
this notion, "o, you know what
the best
thing
to do would be ? if people wanna do
things in our game... ADD
TIMERS SO
THEY CAN"T!!!"
mircea_popescu: the problem with
these is
that
they're all deeply persuaded, but i do mean DEEPLY, like, in
the nephritic layer of
their kidneys deep,
that
the ONE
thing
to do if you're making a game is rate-limit it.
Mocky: im not a proponent of inca platform. would love
to find
traders in raleigh some other way, but how
to find?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Still plenty of ads
there with off platform communications channels listed
Mocky: more a platform
to meet people and make own
trades with
them off-platform, formerly
BingoBoingo: It is and has been a sort of centralized
thing.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-21 22:21 ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: it doesn't make sense
to put delicate items acquired with much suffering like BingoBoingo's cedula immediately into
the statists hopper (localbitcoins demands "an ID"
to post ads), when one can pick from
the sale offers and operate on
the side of
the
transaction where id is not asked for
