mircea_popescu: I wrote a new book, and it’s out now. But–it’s not funny stories of getting drunk, hooking up and yelling curses at people (though it’s sort of related, a little).

mircea_popescu: "bunny you talk to" ?!
asciilifeform: quite convinced of it." VJ replied, "good for that - when do they think you've sold?" and Ulbricht responded, "about a month ago." 3 Based on my training and experience, and my familiarity with this investigation, I believe that during this conversation, Ulbricht disclosed that he had told two people of his connection to Silk Road, but had lied to them by claiming that he had sold Silk Road to someone else.'
asciilifeform: e.g., 'During the same chat, VJ asked Ulbricht, in sum and substance, whether Ulbricht had disclosed to anyone in real life that he was involved in Silk Road: "IRL - is there anyone with a clue at all? Girlfriend, boyfriend, bunny you talk to, online buddy's who you've know for years? Gramma, priest, rabbi, stripper?" Ulbricht responded, "unfortunately yes. They are two, but they think I sold the site and got out. and they are
asciilifeform: which is to say, how it is difficult to escape the feeling that all of these schmucks are on trial for ~being stupid~
asciilifeform reading the unsealed 'variety jones' indictment, and thinking about precisely this
mircea_popescu: it'd have been expensive if they were you. but they're them, and so... they just put it in singapore!
asciilifeform: pretty expensive for the folks who insisted on playing the 'lose half yer money in 3 mo.' game with live-fire btc
mircea_popescu: there's no objective valuation of labels, or more properly said there can in principle exist no metric for the set of labels. and consequently, what difference does it make.
mircea_popescu: well, it's an inside joke. but broadly speaking the idea is, that the fruit of "civilisation" is the sort of derp who has no ability ot interact with, and no actual interest in reality. 100% dedicated to labels. so... he put bitcoin "into singapore".
mircea_popescu: one could say a cock-eyed optimist that got mixed up in the high stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue
asciilifeform: 'bitcoins and put them into a seychelles trust'
asciilifeform: 'Craig Wright had mined a lot of Bitcoins. Craig then took the Bitcoins and put them into a Seychelles Trust. A bit of it was also put into Singapore. This was run out of an entity from the UK. Craig had gotten approximately 1.1 million Bitcoins.' << on what planet does this make the most elementary kind of sense ?!!
mircea_popescu: http://sharonleehughson.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/avatar.jpg << why the hell do people do this ?
mircea_popescu: does a book of the month club or something.
asciilifeform confesses that he has never seen it
asciilifeform: what in satan's green earth is the point of all of this claptrap.
asciilifeform: the one thing which i utterly fail to grasp is,
asciilifeform: 'Craig Wright is not modest. On the website of Panopticrypt, one of his many companies, Wright describes himself as “certifiably the world’s foremost IT security expert.”'
mircea_popescu: "by Taboola Sponsored Links " da fuck, this nonsense model of "advertising" took over the dead media to the point it's even on ap now, but always a different name

BingoBoingo: shinohai: Having ALL the glory is bad for my sobriety. I have to allow others to share in it.
shinohai: I prefer letting you have all teh glory BingoBoingo
asciilifeform: and if you add the detail where satoshi is only even theoretically interesting to anyone today because he could move coinz...
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Yes, he absolutely can't be Satoshi N. because the isn't moving coins and want people ot think he is.
BingoBoingo: same thread: "Not as much as it would be if you checked out the www tree from CVS :-)" https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=144961871622930&w=2
asciilifeform: 'The first of those supercomputers he named Sukuriputo Okane—Japanese for “script money.” Another, named Co1n, holds the title of the world’s most powerful privately owned supercomputer. As Wright told the Bitcoin Investor’s conference, he’s applying that second machine towards the mysterious task of “modeling Bitcoin’s scalability,” and meanwhile building an even more powerful supercomputing cluster in Icela
BingoBoingo: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=144960637518617&w=2 << "But we don't care about any of those people anymore. The NSA is the only bad guy worth caring about...."
asciilifeform: move the motherfucking coinz or shuddup.
asciilifeform: ming “cryptocurrency paper” and “triple entry accounting” were added sometime after 2013. Even the post noting bitcoin’s beta launch is questionable. While it was ostensibly posted in January 2009, it later seems to have been deleted and then undeleted—or possibly even written for the first time—sometime between October 2013 and June of 2014.'
asciilifeform: 'All of it could be an elaborate hoax—perhaps orchestrated by Wright himself. The unverified leaked documents could be faked in whole or in part. And most inexplicably of all, comparisons of different archived versions of the three smoking gun posts from Wright’s blog show that he did edit all three—to insert evidence of his bitcoin history. The PGP key associated with Nakamoto’s email address and references to an upco
asciilifeform: (almost edging on believable, if any of the 'leaked paperz' were actually available, and if there were any reason to believe in their authenticity)
asciilifeform: to be fair, this is a bit classier
BingoBoingo goes to do exactly that
BingoBoingo: shinohai: I'd appreciate it if when you find these thing you'd make a quick qntra of it.

mircea_popescu: can anyone even distinguish the seams ?
mircea_popescu: gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material. We've got to maybe do something with the Internet because they're recruiting by the thousands, they're leaving our country, and then when they come back, we take them back.
mircea_popescu: They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. Somebody will say, 'Oh, freedom of speech, freedom of speech.' It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. These are foolish people, we have a lot of foolish people. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it
mircea_popescu: in some ways, closing that Internet up in some ways. I got it yesterday.
mircea_popescu: The press has to be responsible; they're not being responsible. Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? We're losing a lot of people because of the Internet. I just the other day got… an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday. We have to see Bill Gates and a lot of different people who really understand what's happening and maybe,
mircea_popescu: brb while i mixtape this shit.
mircea_popescu: this is the first time i actually read something by trump. i guess that shows about how much of a shit i give. nevertheless, it's almost as if they start with the same paste and then name it trump or stevens or whatever
BingoBoingo: It's hard to tell anymore. Does Chelsea Clitler have kids yet?
mircea_popescu: who the fuck, ivanka ? who has kids and what are they watching.
mircea_popescu: "We have kids that are watching the Internet"
mircea_popescu: Bankruptcy artist, likely payment fraudster, and aspiring fiat politician Donald Trump overshadowed a previous comment by proposing
mircea_popescu: "Overshadowed by a comment he made earlier on border policy bankruptcy artist, likely payment fraudster, and aspiring fiat politician Donald Trump has proposed"
mircea_popescu: what's with this guy and cloistering.

BingoBoingo: Awe, shame sign doesn't also say "for sale" or "free to a good home"
mircea_popescu: so out of touch.
mircea_popescu: good god, they're still doing the "we found satoshi" thing ?
adlai: the beauty of bitcoin is that satoshi is a scammer, too
brg444: still some odd things in there
brg444: I guess this is a better attempt at it than Newsweek :D

pete_dushenski: on the flip side, flipping bitpennies around will yield more and more local value... soon : rent !
pete_dushenski: not to mention that funnelling bezzlars into btc is going to yield increasing less sound money
pete_dushenski: "A day after setting a new 11-year low, the Canadian dollar sheds another half-cent and the TSX slides to a two-year low, as oil fails to rebound" << aaaand traveling just got a little more expensive.
pete_dushenski: now, either i'm not paying so much attention anymore (likely hypothesis) or all the i-esque bricks look the same in much the same way that a kia looks like a bmw (also likely)
pete_dushenski: http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow/story/307321/the-10-best-symbian-phones-ever/1 << makes me nostalgic for the days when phones looked ~different~ from one another. there was no question at that time, to a connoisseur, what brand and model you were sporting.
pete_dushenski: punkman: i always thought the nokia n95 was a nifty device, until 1st gen iphone appeared

punkman: actually had one of those phones, was worse than the crappiest of the crapdroids
pete_dushenski: it starts out as 'a theory', spends a while being 'debated' in the press, and then is inevitably implemented, because how not ? have to DO something, neh ?
pete_dushenski: "Canada could theoretically follow the lead of other countries that have recently gone to negative interest rates in order to stimulate the economy, central bank governor Stephen Poloz told a business audience today after yet another drop in the loonie." << PLZ TO MOAR STIMULA7333 !!!1
