mircea_popescu: "The Ethereum wiki runs Mediawiki, a tool that seemingly lacks any sort of page indexing, leaving me no choice but to look at all recent changes to all pages for the past thirty days to even get an idea of the scope of writing that's been put into the project." << benkay does this, then complains about forum.

mircea_popescu: "Humans inevitably want to be a part of a thing. Mostly they want to be led into glorious battle by strong men, but since men no longer lead and battle is not a thing, humans now coalesce into writhing, headless balls of worms in the traditional socialist style of leaderless leadership."

mircea_popescu: let us rejoice we still live in a time when it's humanly possible, and it doesn't even take a full year
mircea_popescu: tbh making this list, by hand, would be the qualification for being a bitcoin financial analyst. this is the certificate, like in the old days of the guilds,
mircea_popescu: anyway, the true value one receives from completing this monstrous task is attaining a knowledge equal only to the gods themselves.
mircea_popescu: so you'd need to add bitfunder, pre-2012 crap (since may 2011, on the forum) and that'd be about it
