the requirement for
the laptop hardware
to be stateless, i.e. lacking any persistent storage.
This includes it having no firmware-carrying flash memory chips. All
the state is

they suck at doing what

mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-12-2015#1355361 << quite. all
this verbiage about how "oh lalala, if miners stop enforcing X fork
they will be excluded" fails
to account for
the fact
that unlike
the various PRBs,
TRB does NOT actually implement any of
the soft forks. so no,
they won't be "excluded". nobody will notice
they stopped.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: ryone will continue working on Roger Ver projects
that will help make
the world a better place."
mircea_popescu: because of a lack of liquidity at Roger Ver.
The
traditional banking partners
that Roger Ver needs
to work with are not able
to keep up with
the demands of
the growing Roger Ver economy.
The dozens of people
that make up
the Roger Ver
team are hard at work establishing additional banking partners,
that eventually will make dealing with Roger Ver easier for all
their customers around
the world. For now, I hope
that eve
mircea_popescu: "I'm Roger Ver, long-time Roger Ver advocate and investor.
Today, I'm at
the Roger Ver world headquarters in Saint Kitts and Nevis. I had a nice chat with Roger Ver CEO, Roger Ver, about
their current situation. He showed me multiple bank statements, as well as letters from banks, lawyers and Roger Ver. I'm sure
that all
the current Roger Ver problems at Roger Ver are being caused by
the
traditional banking system, not

mircea_popescu: somehow "hardforking
the blockchain
to accomodate dust
transactions" wasn't a concern, back before hussein bahamas climbed atop mit and started
throwing meatballs and chicken nuggets at
the rotinculo chorus.

thanks for updating your blog. much appreciated.

the set design is
the ~only~ redeeming quality of
that show. << isn't
that why
they call
them costume dramas
pete_dushenski: and... apparently
the show is 3 years old and already on its fourth season. fancy
that.
pete_dushenski: though
the few bits about jobs being hard
to come by, and only
the handsomest men and prettiest women being able
to snag jobs, and
the employers
turning applicants away because
they have dirty fingernails was kinda neat, if only because
that's
the way
the world works outside of
the narrow historical confines of "we print
the bezzlars"-istan.
pete_dushenski: tried watching some jeremy piven show on netflix last night where he plays an american entrepreneur in london who starts his own department store circa 1909 and
the only way i could stand it was with
the volume off.

BingoBoingo: Also some of
the saved boozelars have gone into
