mircea_popescu foresees great cinematic drama, "the brainwallet". where guy gets shot in head, has
to recoup his brainwallet.
☟︎ TomServo: Good! Relieved
to know I'm still a person after having
to refer
to a backup.
mircea_popescu: actually
the
topic of how
to compare
these
two props is kinda interesting.
mircea_popescu: "a
total of ~200 bitcoins were locked up for ~3 months
to provide
this determination"
mircea_popescu: "according
to bitbet, ethereum has
two degrees of magnitude better odds at surviving 2015
than gavin's scamcoin."
mircea_popescu: same
time frame, same substantial dispute (altcoin pretending importance).
the gavin/hearn idiots have
trouble going past 3:100 against
them ; ethereum is so far 3:1 or some shit.

mircea_popescu: whenever "someone" aims
to engineer faux sell pressure, "someone" gets raped.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is in
that range because nobody wishes
to sell.
mircea_popescu: stuff like ripple or ether is in
the 0.05 range because NOBODY WISHES
TO BUY.
mircea_popescu: whichy, as he said
then and i believed
then, set him back a few months of dayjob.
mircea_popescu: eh, at
the
time we're discussing nobody in bitcoin had enough money for a spare sandwich.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, being
the reason why nobody uses linode
to
this day.
mircea_popescu: eh.
tell you what, 4 years ago, when most of
the current "experts" didn't know how
to spell
the name,
the guy was hit by
the first
targetted attack, alongside some others.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think
the guy's
toxic, just, acts
the imbecile on occasion.
mircea_popescu: sad
that in 2015 you still gotta
teach old hands sense with
the hot poker.
assbot: You rated user slush on 20-Aug-2015, with a rating of -10, and supplied
these additional notes: fuckwit.
mircea_popescu: dude,

mircea_popescu: "In fact it's embarrassing, because everyone who isn't relevant and knows it has an automatic grudge against you." <<< so ?
the flailing is amusing.
punkman: it looked more like a cunt from
that other angle
mircea_popescu: you like questions and shit, fix
the fucking legal system.
mircea_popescu: no
there isn't.
that's
the
thing with suicide bombing : no more questions.
punkman: there is
the question of who you suicidebomb
though
mircea_popescu: a dysfunctional legal system makes suicide bombing a necessity. you don't like
that, fix
the fucking legal system.
mircea_popescu: i
think suicide bombing not only can be but actually is perfectly justified.
☟︎ punkman: gotta wonder how "justified"
translates
to all
those languages
