mircea_popescu: not like
there's all
that much ELSE
to do with bitcoin anyway
mircea_popescu: "The failure of
the GOP and
the conservative movement,
to
the extent one exists in
the United States,
to police
their ranks for con artists like Glenn Beck out
to fleece
their rank has lead
to
this." // "The success of sympathy conmen like Glenn Beck or Donald
Trump enjoy fleecing
the angry-socialist flock makes one wonder whether
the GOP even exists in any meaningful sense."
mircea_popescu: "the word "collectible" is attached
the coins" << samne problem. good idea but
the writing...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "The anger of
the base directed at anything: socialism, political correctness, brown people, etc; which
they feel is giving
them an unfair shake.
This demographic also carries a substantial number of people among
them who have
traits
that make
them readily victimized for con artists." missing a verb, no idea what's going on at
the end and prolly 50%
too many words
CrazyTruthYakDDS: hell, factom is better, as it is at least
taking advantage of
the BTC blockchain/security if i am not mistaken
CrazyTruthYakDDS: which is meaningless, i am sure microsoft also has api
tools
to work with BTC as well
CrazyTruthYakDDS: and
the only real "value" people have pushed is
that microsoft azure is using it as an api
CrazyTruthYakDDS: ty i will look; i feel ETH is play for some BTC holders
to pump and dump
to more BTC :)
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2016 23:14:46; mircea_popescu: ah
the recursive "it must be me
too
then"
CrazyTruthYakDDS: just find it hilarious everyone is screaming ETH and
that BTC is dead
mircea_popescu: anyway, yes, major pump and dump. it's in
the logs if not on
trilema./
CrazyTruthYakDDS: thanks; was seeing if you had anything on your blog about ETH; seems like major pump and dump
to me
mircea_popescu: looky : i said divesting, and you're not going
to obtain clarification or further infos about it no matter how it gets
turned around.
mircea_popescu: i dunno...
trade it for ethereum. support what's
the fatass' name, with
the "consensus" bullcrap ? huey something ?
mircea_popescu: of fucking course ? do it faster next
time ? what ? either you
take shorter
than
there's
time or longer.
tnd.
mircea_popescu: engineering consistently presents management with
two options : a) either shit
takes forever or b) well now
there's no pistol.
mircea_popescu: omaigerd. what
the fuck did you expect was going
to happen.
mircea_popescu: well - i
thought you didn't like
the father pistols, and shouldn't you be
thankful
this one's dislodging ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform big difference between "me" and "we" in
this point.
mircea_popescu: so
there's really no call for dramatics, in my own mind. gotta do all
the work one can as well as one can and see what
tomorrow brings.
mircea_popescu: mod6 even if - and consider i'm speaking of a purely cartoon view of reality, merely for illustration purposes - even if
trbf "misses
the boat" and instead dilligently focuses on fixing satoshi code, and
three years later
the "winner" of july competition falls on sword
that
trbf actually fouind and fixed,
the relative position of
trbf in
the world has not suffered one iota.
mod6: mircea_popescu: noted. ya, we need
to get our heads around
this
thing.
punkman: you said you need USD for rent,
thus my question
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure we actually
took a single walk around
the whole item
danielpbarron would have been more surprised if either 1) bitcoin didn't fail or 2) bitcoin didn't become some sort of one world government causing monster of a
thing
mod6: we should probably discuss solutions, write a spec of new bitcoin,
then implement new bitcoin
shinohai: Well Gentleman, I have certainly enjoyed working with you all on
trb from
the past ~1 year nonetheless.
mircea_popescu: rather
than figure
the marketing plan before
the
thing's even vapour.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
then how about you make
the
thing and once it's made we figure out
the marketing plan,
mircea_popescu: don't
tell me we're in any imminent danger of selling cardanos ?!
mircea_popescu: how is feb 5th differfent from march 5th ?
there's a pile of shitty code implementing sort-of kinda badly a concept,
that's being extracted
to light.
BingoBoingo: Alf paid his rent in USD and
thusly his life had remained unmanageable
mircea_popescu: what do you expect changed with
trb ? you weren't doing it
to get rich, were you ? you weren't doing it for redditettes
to
throw
their panties at you, were you ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Anyways you've got warrants in a substantial portion of S.NSA which are convertible
to BTC or its successor on MPEx
mircea_popescu: (i'm not porposing you have a lot - merely poking fun at
the rounding process you prolly use regardless)
BingoBoingo notices alf's grieving process skips
to simultaneous depression and acceptance
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it made sense. but note
that it was principally
the irc chan
that sold me.
mircea_popescu: note
that my interest in computers is,
these days, ~strictly predicated on
trb.
