nubbins`: you need metal
to convert btc-usd without notice
nubbins`: well
that excludes ME from selling it
to you
nubbins`: asciilifeform
there's always bullion
thestringpuller: going
to 0 as in game over? or going
to 0 for a minute
then we'll be back
to $X price.
thestringpuller: only good
thing
to sell BTC for is fiat, but whats
the point in
that if your income 99% fiat
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: it's a good place
to store money when it's not in use...
nubbins`: asciilifeform
that's what i've been
trying
to ask you and you've been steadfastly not answering
mircea_popescu: so, "buy something useful with bitcoin - must be physical item or service
that i can use"
mircea_popescu: maybe specifying
the problem you're
trying
to solve would help.
mircea_popescu: wait,
the criteria is "buy something useful with bitcoin" && "seller may not give btc
to usd" ?
nubbins`: no, problem is we don't know what you need because you're not
telling us
mircea_popescu: but - eulora copper. not only exact answer, but provably
the only one.
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2016 13:18:04; mircea_popescu: 18<nubbins`> buy something with it. oh wait,
the seller may convert it
to usd. << he got
the exact answer, but wouldn't
take it, because reasons.
nubbins`: for whom does
the night paint
the dawn?
thestringpuller: it has a cloud on one side and scissors in in
the desert on another side
danielpbarron: nubbins`, how much
to send me a couple of
those shirts :)
mircea_popescu: 18<nubbins`> buy something with it. oh wait,

☟︎ nubbins`: thestringpuller can't quite recall
the print
nubbins`: FTR i've been
teaching myself hardcover bookbinding and
TRB.book would have been gorgeous
thestringpuller: i eneded up framing
that print you gave me as bonus when I ordered shirts
nubbins`: flat stock is something people put on
their wall & admire -- see "Imagine a game" bitcoin posters
nubbins`: fucking up a
t-shirt print = $6 wasted. fucking up a poster = $0.70 wasted
thestringpuller: nubbins`: oh well cool. i guess I'll just wait for
the big 3-0
nubbins`: mircea_popescu we've been moving
the biz away from
textile printing and
towards paper/fine art printing
nubbins`: thestringpuller you're
technically still a child at 28
mircea_popescu: oh, well
then really -
this is above industry average.
nubbins`: i
think something around 20-30% of
them left my hands
nubbins`: was not insignificant for our fledgling business at
the
time
nubbins`: understood.
thanks for
the work!
mircea_popescu: thanks for your kind help in
the matter - feel free
to distribute
the remaining
tees
to whosoever you feel like and
that'd be
that.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` in honesty at
this point i see ~0 chance we'll deliver in any sort of human
timeframe, or for
that matter have any use for 3
to 25 year old
tshirts.
mircea_popescu: * asciilifeform had nfi >> you recall, we made a
t-shirt design, he agreed
to print for a very nice rate, ended up storing
them for us.
nubbins`: guess you'll have
to un-usefully burn it
nubbins`: buy something with it. oh wait,
the seller may convert it
to usd.
nubbins`: well your other option is
to keep it
nubbins`: what i'm asking is if
toilet paper is a good suggestion, or if a motorcycle is a good suggestion
nubbins`: anguished wails of
those who have lost hope
nubbins`: lords
tossing
themselves from
the parapets
nubbins`: yeah, more or less. everyone QQing about
the fyootur
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2016 02:44:42; *: asciilifeform all ears for ideas re: on what
to blow a modest (~10kusd) worth of coin while it is still worth something.
nubbins`: easily actually a
thing
that's real
too
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2016 12:59:16; nubbins`: or did you guys just assume
that bitbet divs and a vidya game were enough
to keep it all
together

☟︎ nubbins`: asciilifeform i
thought it was fairly obvious
that MP had been divesting since he lost his shirt w/ MPOE?
☟︎☟︎ nubbins`: alf left
the straight path
to live
the life of
the boheme?
nubbins`: in retrospect, prob pulled
the
trigger a bit early on ordering
tees
nubbins`: mircea_popescu
the current lease on floor space expires April 30 2016; property will be considered
to be abandoned if arrangements not made by
that point
nubbins`: speaking of work, i have a large number of S.NSA
t-shirts still
taking up space in my basement
nubbins`: it's a "work machine", so i'm more concerned about how it runs illustrator
than how well it protects
the private keys
that aren't on it
nubbins`: but it was beterrn
that and
the 6502 for a while
nubbins`: sadly, i went for
the modern comforts of an i5 (i know)
nubbins`: somewhat inexplicably, first
time i've done so in my 34 years

assbot: Logged on 06-03-2016 07:26:07; ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: how would you limit
the number of addresses/coinbases in a pow-for-addr scheme?
ben_vulpes: i
think
that
the above change would necessitate a new genesis block, as i suspect
that difficulty is far
too high for
the hardware capable of hashing as described
to generate a single block in any sort of reasonable
time
ben_vulpes: if it's possible
to confirm
that
the contents of `sig` corresponded
to
the *single* `addr`
to which
the block subsidy+fees (eg first
transaction) pays out, i believe
that
the addidional `addr` header field could be omitted.

☟︎ gernika: asciilifeform: cheapair.com seems

take btc. I bought some
tix
to europe from
them with btc a few years ago.
