LameCoin-: mircea if you take
a poll of channel you will find it to be
a small %
mircea_popescu: there's
a lot of paradoxical movement (dub was referring one of the more documented types recentyl)
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- it's
a weak supposition this, linear generalisation from fiat to bitcoin markets. we're still working at getting the hang of this
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Were you referring to how many bitcoins were lost due to
a wallet being easily stolen by
a hacker?
LameCoin-: mircea: from my studies of markets, it is very very rare that anyone participates in
a huge move
Ukto: i will try to check it
a bit later
Bowjob: nah, it was
a single person
Bowjob: Theres this dude who forgot he had
a wallet.dat with lots of coins
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- this is true. i'm just saying, i think
a lot more people held btc than .1%
BitHub: maybe everyone should pitch in
a lil btc to pay teh pros
mircea_popescu: that's what midnightmagic means by concorde fallacy : the mistaken idea that the current codebase is useful because it cost people
a lot of money through all the bugs it pushed on them so far.
mircea_popescu: preparing for the "too big to fail" arguments, it'll be
a warm summer.
benkay: i'm not even convinced we've converged on
a codebase
dub: 19 here, pretty sure it was broke in some previous, goat was having problems
a few days ago too
LameCoin-:
a friend of mine is from timisoara
BitHub: so you'll pretty much be teh first person with
a bfl?
Luke-Jr: midnightmagic: I don't see it as something worth my time arguing
a case for.
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr he's somehow bothered with everyone mocking you for trying your damnest to pass yourself off as
a dev
midnightmagic: Luke-Jr: I was just asserting that the amount of work you do in bitcoind essentially makes you
a bitcoin developer, even if your name isn't on bitcoin.org.
mircea_popescu: and on
a related point, you don't go to heaven by never saying "jesus sucks" etiher.
mircea_popescu: being civil is not
a formal concern. it does NOT mean not calling people idiots. if indeed they are idiots then that's that, verity proof.
midnightmagic: I know you have trouble when people talk back to you and all, but geez man. At
a certain point, don't let the concorde fallacy trap you into pursuing
a dead end.
midnightmagic: I am not interested in working on that project, if you are offering me
a job.
mircea_popescu: so i'm takingthat as
a sort of up and down and all about no.
mircea_popescu: you are telling me about the minute characteristics of
a set you can't let alone define other than by reference to me, but even nominally identify in no matter how small
a part ?
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic you should at some point consider that the similarities you perceive are more
a function of dirt on your lens than actual object of observation.
dub: and since there is
a distinct lack of reasonable humans involved in bitcon dev...
smickles: i just filled out
a captcha, got it wrong
midnightmagic: This is
a people issue I bring up, not
a by-rights issue. Are you actually interested in persuasion, or just in ranting angrily because.. why?
mircea_popescu: lukejr would love to be
a developer, but he's mostly
a useless contributor.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Whatever it says there is irrelevant if
a huge amount of his work makes it into the codebase.
dub: dont people tend to generate
a lot of addresses in advance fot his type of thing?
midnightmagic: the dev team effectively includes luke-jr, and
a massive amount of work he has done makes it into bitcoind
mircea_popescu: testing for inbound is
a few degrees of magnitude easier with fixed address
smickles: I should do that and make
a video of the text 'RTFM' with
a link
mircea_popescu:
a. mpex deposits and withdrawals are processed manually.
mircea_popescu: no 30% swings in
a day ? waht sort of bitcoin is this!
mircea_popescu: i suspect past the original shock
a good chunk of them ppl are actually reasonable in the head.
mircea_popescu: the foundation collected about half
a million dollars which that conman from ycombinator controls
mircea_popescu: the dev team is about six people (it does not include Luke-Jr, tho he keeps trying to pretend he's
a dev)
dub: theres somethign called
a chain block
mircea_popescu: "The US datacenters we have dont support IPv6 or if they do it is very limited. The London DC does support IPv6 but cPanel and
a lot of the other stuff on the server doesn't so those IPs they are able to give, are actually useless at this time."
mircea_popescu: for some reason gpg thinks it's
a detached signature ?!
mircea_popescu: why did i not think of that! why does nobody think of ripple when they have
a problem ripple could solve! o ye gods!
jurov: jcpham, 10k shares of asspride will do as
a consolation prize?
mircea_popescu: how many people of the total 10bn read 100k words in
a week ?
jcpham: PPS. Everyone named in this article for helping gets
a block of 10`000 S.MPOE shares. Contact jurov to take possession.
FabianB_: everyone busy watching 22 running behind
a ball with nothing happening in 90 minutes?
jurov: not
a proper json, i daresay
kakobrekla: lots of stuff happend yesterday like on
a normal day
dub: goes to show how much of
a joke the idea of mining being some kind of democratic concensus system is
gribble: Error: "nextprice" is not
a valid command.
pigeons: smickles: what was your formula for the price of
a mining "share"?
mircea_popescu: apparently bitcoin people still have to learn
a lot about how confidence tricks work.
mircea_popescu: "I hope you can realize how much more we could accomplish and how much happier everyone would be if you acted like less of
a douchebag."
Chaang-Noi: anyway im off to
a mini family vacation, they think iv sat too long at the computer :(
benkay: ugh, that was
a dumb sentence.
kakobrekla: sry just had to, was
a long time since last one.
benkay: i'm actually looking forward to MPOE-PR "FIRST"ing it on
a launch page
benkay: i've read that many
a time
benkay: dude! you guys i don't even want to build
a business in this space
Chaang-Noi: dont know, i dont use facebook either, i just dont like that sorta of social networking, i have
a very good trading recored
benkay: think about
a plugin to your radio system that identifies customers as they walk in your store and then queues up music for them
benkay: but it's definitely
a step towards
a world where people generally know all there is to know about you.
kakobrekla: anyway the point is its nice to see you can be accountable in
a way
benkay: contrasts strongly against american startuplandia where you can pivot (fail) ten times with 3 different investment rounds, and still be lauded as
a pop-hero
Namworld: :;rate Chaang-Noi -10 Too much black/purple/red in his home, really bad choice of colors. Doesn't give off
a very trusty vibe like pure white.
Chaang-Noi: yeah i just dont think wot is
a good tool, not worth my time. i can see how it is goodfor some people not as well known as me, but im one of bitcointalks greatest trolls:)
benkay: mp i'm enjoying your tirade on fucking
a lot more than the drama posts
benkay: stop gambling on s dice in
a transparent way
Chaang-Noi: so i wont use
a system that is so fucked up
BitHub: yeah man i got paid to troll lance armstrong for
a while
