BingoBoingo: I'm honestly pleased that the spanish used it so simple as to be easily and painlessly read without translating thinking

BingoBoingo: outcome doesn't matter, but conversation in the media is everything
asciilifeform: (because the case is not about any of this idiocy, but something else)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: See https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=145715162325192&w=2 and following message in thread
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: incidentally, nowhere in volkischer beobachter will you find mention of the 100s of folks who mailed in offers to usg to root the pnohe with the very simple nand flash removal method.
BingoBoingo: ^ shinohai see above, maybe get a blog to practice the writing thing on not-news so that you may better news.

mircea_popescu: us dept of state can do ~ nothing, but direct the dod to lose some more items .
asciilifeform: if u.s. dept of state can take his goats, he is the same as costco.
mircea_popescu: lol yeeeeah, that worked really well with the embargo and all lol. anyway.
asciilifeform: all confiscatable money is the same.
mircea_popescu: ok, ok, prince ibrahim the unknown al saud.
asciilifeform: all tentacles of fiat are the same animal.
asciilifeform: and costco is something other than usg ?
mircea_popescu: eh, costco is a more likely winner than usg.
mircea_popescu: kinda what i was going to say next, "don't worry too much, things have a way of sorting themselves out"
asciilifeform: but i for one don't see anyone winning from this but usg.
asciilifeform: but at any rate, it isn't my toy, the owners can break it if they want.
asciilifeform: the issue is not that walking the earth sux. the issue is splat from an airplane.
mircea_popescu: actually - much fewer idiots then, of the purely idiotarian type. of course all sorts of actual idiots seemed quite reasonable, pleasant folk, but what can you do.
mircea_popescu: didn't seem to make so much difference.
mircea_popescu: anyway, what you're missing, perhaps on account of age, is that... well... i recall hanging out with kakobrekla back when bitcoin was 2 dollars.
mircea_popescu: we don't answer that kinda q for you.
mircea_popescu: what do you think this is, some sort of cult ?
asciilifeform: time to do what ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, relax, you got plenty of time.
asciilifeform: and other folks at least working towards kakoization.
mircea_popescu: well, yeah, but that 2 sunk meanwhile.
asciilifeform: 2) a desperate wartime wunderwaffen that allowed for some temporary sanity
asciilifeform: 1) this prototype.
asciilifeform: bitcoin was really 2 things
mircea_popescu: no work done on satoshi codebase has yet been wasted, except that done for other people than us, or outside of b-a.
mircea_popescu: as much as we'd love to suck our own cocks, while we readily agree TODAY that "should be so and so", we'd have had no such agreement a decade ago.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to the more general point : all our understanding as to how bitcoin should work, see for instance yest discussion, comes from dissecting how prototype-bitcoin did in fact work.
mircea_popescu: outlasting is, as far as one can discern, the implicit goal of life on earth.
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu> in what sense is it worth anyone's time to do anything ?
BingoBoingo: Outlasting? Isn't that the point of every cult?
asciilifeform: what'd be the point?
asciilifeform: they have infinite hitpoint. as mircea_popescu taught us.
mircea_popescu: that was not yet called either prb or core or anything, because before we came and crackd the nut, inanities avbout how "only one bitcoin software" still had currency amongthe ruminant herd.
asciilifeform: i would like to be wrong about this. but i see no parachute.
mircea_popescu: well, not like it HAS to close. it can also continue doing what it did for the ~first half year of its existence, which is to say critique whatever prb
asciilifeform: and there is no way in hell that adacoin by july, unless mircea_popescu writes it himself...
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2016 15:13:36; mircea_popescu: the intellectual value of the work trying to get it to work goes to that great place in the sky where everyone's work ever goes, gauss, newton, who have you.
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2016 14:51:11; mircea_popescu: ^ for the record, i've been divesting, if slowly.
mircea_popescu: i suppose IF the july many-fork time comes and trb has nothing to offer then it might as well close. ☟︎
asciilifeform: well this is implied?
asciilifeform: so trb foundation closes today?
mircea_popescu: the intellectual value of the work trying to get it to work goes to that great place in the sky where everyone's work ever goes, gauss, newton, who have you. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: technically the value pumped into the old btc all comes from hitler anyway. what, ustard has money now ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> jurov feel free to fuzz, crashing it every which way will make a somewhat lulzy qntra piece << Jurov takes are always welcome
asciilifeform: the value pumped into the old btc will go to hitler.
mircea_popescu: and honestly, what the everloving fuck do i care. bitcoin with mining cartel is literally, and i do mean LITERALLY just a very slow, unreliable and expensive visa run by idiots.
mircea_popescu: anyway, no fiddy cents. coupla hundy should be enough. miners can't actually support their shit even at current prices, if it halves.
asciilifeform: well that's why i didn't mention me
asciilifeform: or me, with my toes
mircea_popescu: i thought you didn't have any, didn't care to have any and didn't etc ?
kakobrekla: its barrel time!
asciilifeform: who is to make wunderwaffen then.
asciilifeform: gonna be interesting to see btc at fiddycents, kakobrekla , jurov, will get day jobs?
mircea_popescu: aite then.
asciilifeform: in the sense where the great satan is the common enemy of all thinking people?
mircea_popescu: in what sense is it worth anyone's time to do anything ?
asciilifeform: so in what sense would it be worth anyone's time to work on satoshi's turd
mircea_popescu: strictly because the common man is an unrepentant imbecile proud of his imbecility, but that's a secondary consideration.
