mircea_popescu: but i'm a very unfortunate mix of volcanic personality and hands-right-into-the-grease mental model
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids it's deeper than that, i even have people to insulate me from it
mircea_popescu: seeing how we don't count reports of having been arrested, doing dope or bs press releases.
mircea_popescu: as far as i know, out of all the folks pretending to be into bitcoin finance, the only person who was in the press is yours truly.
mircea_popescu: cause if you don't daytrade and have a family those are the questions that matter, not whether someone paid random unheard of "press" outfit fiddy bux to run their bs story about nothing.
mircea_popescu: and b) exactly what would be the average return of an investor who put in 1 btc over a basket of everything they had a year ago.
mircea_popescu: now go ask havelock exactly what a) the total bitcoin loss from all listed and closed companies is so far with them
mircea_popescu: theo you obviously missed the part where mpex has about a million btc mkt cap listed, and the part where the largest ipos in the history of btc all happened on mpex
mircea_popescu: so basically if bitcoiners had a 1 btc budged for killing people, it'd go ~1 btc to taking out friedcat and ~0 btc to taking out a bunch of tards in suits in the us self importantly yakking about regulation or whatever the fuck.
mircea_popescu: so if indeed they deliver pretty much everyone mining currently is screwed.
mircea_popescu: PierreCPA: Perhaps, though I think we'll call them "accounting system developers", accounting will be done entirely 100% by computers
mircea_popescu: by now this shit's roughly as complex as counterparty trade on any prop desk in london
mircea_popescu: yeah, i'll buy an ip for pankkake from you for 100 alt.
mircea_popescu: now herbi, share some ips for the glory of the altcoin!
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids: o shit yea i totally got a giant pool of IPs lol <<<
mircea_popescu: ;;google chickenhawk "i scared myself" "i'm hunting a chicken"
mircea_popescu: so i'm promiscuous, you're confused and this guy cnat raed.
mircea_popescu: Namworld: I have one. First result on google for MPEx referral. <<< ahaha epic.
mircea_popescu: i'm sort-of hoping one day some libertard finds this chan and is all "we must start a petition to have these people brought to justice! they said cunt!"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so i'm promiscuous and you're confused.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids "i didn't buy my bebbeh i love it any clothes because whatever, she's cold but my entire workflow consists of get in kitchen make me sammich"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i've been extremely irc promiscuous this year.
mircea_popescu: it's not just the addressable memory pool size that counts.
mircea_popescu: you know doing that actually slows it down because adressing and stuff ?
mircea_popescu: o you mean the cpu is 64bit but you're using a 32bit os ?
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids you don't have 64bit installed ?! what ?
mircea_popescu: but inasmuch as both you and your referrer get 5 btc, it could be argued the new account only costs 20 with a referrer. anyway.
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids think of it this way : all the work you do is training.
mircea_popescu: it's one of those age old stories in industry "ah, who's ever gonna know" then 2 years later... bam someone burntests your shit on a large scale
mircea_popescu: yeah actually, the happenstance of btc and the particular usb implementation some miner manufacturers happened to use really exposed a lot of crap the usb manufacturers were hiding under the rug for years

mircea_popescu: <Mats_cd03> what is dead will never die <<< this, basically.
mircea_popescu: which is why i don't argue, it'd be like insisting "barracks" should be spelled "kaserne"
mircea_popescu: no argument it has purpose, but the structure and therefore the convention and meaning imo far exceeds the purpose
mircea_popescu: if you look at it unbiased it's shockingly organised, and arbitrarily so
mircea_popescu: the reality underneath. who said they must have "faucets" ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. the rms life and culture seems now a failed experiment. gpl was perhaps a good idea, but gpl 3 is an unmitigatedly bad idea, and so it goes. they wanted to kill bsd and in the end bsd killed them.
mircea_popescu: pure fundamental open-market research. more valuable than 99% of all economics papers to be published in 2014
mircea_popescu: copy the entire altcoin subforum, define 50-100 measures, see how standardised the offerings are, do a over time survey
