asciilifeform: all they gotta do is to follow the spampal usd etc

asciilifeform: and they're regularly gassed, wherever, thailand or pretty much any turd world shithole, usg dun even have to break a sweat

asciilifeform: it's mindboggling, all sorts of folx whom seemingly 'god himself made for btc', e.g. malware racket, still use spampals/dwollas/etc as if year were 2008

asciilifeform: the 'hallucinated choice'(tm)(r) thing

asciilifeform: upstack, i suspect mircea_popescu has the answ to the riddle of why bitcoin hasn't killed wu et al -- orcs still perceive having the option not to use btc

asciilifeform: iirc mod6 , ben_vulpes , trinque , admitted to similar thought, in l0gz.

asciilifeform: kinda why i wanted to get the fuck out since long before tmsr. i'm buying hitler's lunch and it's stomach-turning.

asciilifeform: y'know, employed folx, who don't 'opinionate at #ows' or pollute fetlife or etc.

asciilifeform: if anyffing, it's idjits like asciilifeform who are the worst , who buy for usg 2-3 'sidewinders' erry yr and don't know how to stop ☟︎

asciilifeform: nobody voted for dhs, dea, etc. yet there they are.

asciilifeform: sure, but it's a theatrical production, with roughly same physical impact as footballism

asciilifeform: they sum to ~0 as tax base, and do ~nuffin

asciilifeform: i dun grasp how 'dreamers' enable dhs etc ☟︎

asciilifeform: dunno, they could all die of pox tonight and i suspect the lizards would shrug, less overhead

asciilifeform: for all i know, still is, the gears grind slowly

asciilifeform: but to naked eye entirely inexplicable, qatar is possibly 1st or 2nd biggest sponsor of usg idjicy in the goatfuck deserts

asciilifeform: gotta be

asciilifeform: i still dun fully grasp the supposed usg feud with qatar -- iirc the latter sank couple $B into usg's 'moderate rebels' ☟︎

asciilifeform: ( europistan, asian shitholes, etc )

asciilifeform: doubtful. but wherever the reich tendrils reach.

asciilifeform: usg hunts hawaladars as if they were ebola sprayers . but they still live.

asciilifeform: rather than 'allcomer'

asciilifeform: as i understand, it worx b/c tight wot

asciilifeform: i'll be at least slightly surprised if he manages to penetrate subj; but i like good surprises ☟︎

asciilifeform: goin' strong for 1000+yrs nao

asciilifeform: in-wot orc btc.

asciilifeform: the hilarity is that the 'terrorists' ( goat-flavoured orcs ) have 0 prob with the idjicy, they have their hawala

asciilifeform: anybody with pile of benjie could do it right nao, simply eat/shit btc on site. but for some reason these folx allergic to btc ? i haven't the faintest idea

asciilifeform: but i suppose consistent.

asciilifeform: the astonishing bit imho is that they carry this nonsense over to e.g. cr office.

asciilifeform: ( this is not seekrit, if you want actual phood in usa, you pay like on space station )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: permitted for nao, but ~1000% 'tax' if you want actual food...

asciilifeform: 'benjie in, benjie out' is only at hawaladar counter.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: usg.verboten, apparently

asciilifeform: it only started to work once i fed it a name, addr, and cc.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859416 ☝︎

asciilifeform: sending a 1shot never worked , from here

asciilifeform: oh i should note, had to get 'account' for it to work

asciilifeform: wu even spams me nao. in spanish, no less. 'wai you no send lately' approx

asciilifeform: or to reboot ms excel. whoknows

asciilifeform: i dunno what cockroaches are in the pertinent heads... 'terrorist will never try 2x' ? nfi

asciilifeform: i'm looking at my notes, and seems like erry wu i ever sent ( and i sent a good coupla dozen ) took 2 shots (per new addressee)

asciilifeform: at least for some % of callz

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: reportedly ru mil still using maidens-with-spokes.

asciilifeform: with physical bag man.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: either that or they'd have to return to 18th c. tax collection methods.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: good % of classical usg totalitarian bullshit is enforced through 'employer pays into yer bank, which reports erry penny'

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in principle it's possibly healthy, means they're avoiding banks / electrofiatola

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we have these in usa. they're used by 'cash economy' folx to pay isp etc

asciilifeform: and they aint invented cheques yet ?

asciilifeform: why not carry it on the tram, lol

asciilifeform: i dun get it at all, BingoBoingo . they pay $ to send 'across town' ?!

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lol , send to where ? across the street ?!

asciilifeform: i dare say it's almost like we have screwdriver, but ~nobody's come up with screws yet

asciilifeform: nao if only they'd get the fuck with the program and invent btc in uy...

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: wtf would be the point of a wu spampal that only worx ~in~ 1 place

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: that'd work perfectly for hanbot -> bb

asciilifeform: dollars to doughnuts there's a clone that lives in cr and uy ( and not usa )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a us thing. and used 99+% by mexicans et al to send moolah to home goatfuck village

asciilifeform: in my experience, after you get 1 working shot, it's cached

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i said, i sent'em for 6mo in a row with 0 eggog afterwards

asciilifeform: homeland stupidity

asciilifeform: hanbot: one time i caught a wu monkey and squeezed an answer from it, 'corp office forbidden by dhs to say why not worked'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was nameless eggog

asciilifeform: hanbot: mysteriously, 100% of my wu worked (1st one barfed 1ce, rinsed and repeated, then ok for 6mo )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1861392 << if mircea_popescu or anybody else recalls the thread, plox to link ☝︎

asciilifeform: lol my init thought was eunuch

asciilifeform: and did they stitch it from the torsos of the dead or wut

asciilifeform: lol wtf is that

asciilifeform: meanwhile in upstack lulz: asciilifeform discovered that a good % of prb returns NOTHING to getaddr command. how the fuck do these people connect to peers ? ( i'ma guess some gavintronic-over-https curated nonsense )

asciilifeform: indeed

asciilifeform: aa

asciilifeform: was hruschev-era thing

asciilifeform: eh 54

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1861369 << oblig >> http://btcbase.org/log/2014-04-24#641281 ☝︎☝︎

asciilifeform: and i've emptied my share of mousetrap.

asciilifeform: i for 1 am fascinated. i dun recall mice, rats, doing this.

asciilifeform: in related zoological lulz, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B53JOuVU7_0 apparently happens ☟︎

asciilifeform: at this point i can believe many things

asciilifeform: lol for a sec i almost believed

asciilifeform: holyhell, mircea_popescu imported that one ?!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lolwho, the subj ?!

asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2018/the-lolz-inflation-continues-unabated

asciilifeform: there was a 'hamplanet' thing

asciilifeform recalls mircea_popescu's fetlife picz, and ugh

asciilifeform: mod6: it's a nickel/min, not exactly megabux

asciilifeform: new, bleedin' edge

asciilifeform: mod6 what do you think

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sounds a++

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly will go smoother if she has some of it in l1 cache, imho

asciilifeform: also worx

asciilifeform: nicoleci: i recommend to learn a bit re tbf and what it is, cuz folx will eventually start asking..

asciilifeform: nicoleci: it was me ringing yer phone, btw, sorry'bout the short convo, had to switch terminals

asciilifeform: !!up nicoleci

asciilifeform: rare talent. she's wasted on pulling teeth.

asciilifeform: pretty unusually, even had 'magic' voice, sorta like how i imagined sheherezad did

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo has this a+++ chix
