mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-09-2015#1265316 << "Part and parcel of the present dispute is to clearly make the point that Gavin Andresen does not have the authority to enact or create a hardfork of the Bitcoin network, nor any sort of significant clout, cachet, power to influence the matter etc. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: the lolcows. gavin and co, and it's a shitty career in unintentional comedy at that.

mircea_popescu: the entire decapitation of gavin thing, with its attendant disbelief on the enemy side and misallocation of resources/misinvestment of assets in dead pockets was such a major defeat for the usg, "the tikrit offensive"'s nothing compared.

mircea_popescu: what i said when i opened this entire dispute, specifically, http://trilema.com/2015/lets-address-some-of-the-more-common-pseudo-arguments-raised-by-the-very-stupid-people-that-like-the-gavin-scamcoin-proposal/#selection-31.0-31.247 stands.

mircea_popescu: gavin, dyke, and that's ite.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo imo that wants to mean "we don't want things stuck here forever, but we don't support gavin"

mircea_popescu: https://bitbet.us/bet/1191/the-hearn-gavin-scamcoin-will-fizzle-in-2016/ << it is my pleasure to report that so far, the herniated minds with the bitcoin-mount gokksu fixation have contributed a total of 533 words and 0.53231949 BTC in actual bets,

mircea_popescu: Some of bitcoin's biggest backers, including BitPay, Blockchain.info, Circle and KnCMiner.com, wrote a letter this week in support of the existing version of bitcoin—but only if it adopts some of the central ideas proposed by the renegade developers, Gavin Andresen and Mike Hearn."

mircea_popescu: check out gavin from 2011 : "What's the extra CPU cost for recovering the public key? Current bottleneck for bitcoin transaction processing is the CPU cost of ECDSA signature verification, not disk space or bandwidth, so saving bytes at the expense of more CPU is not the right thing to do."

mircea_popescu: bitbet got linked on reddit, so now https://bitbet.us/bet/1191/the-hearn-gavin-scamcoin-will-fizzle-in-2016/#c4992

mircea_popescu: here's some more stuff that "never happened" : https://bitbet.us/bet/1191/the-hearn-gavin-scamcoin-will-fizzle-in-2016/

mircea_popescu: ppl really need to to a diff between realsolid's claims in 2012 and gavin's claims in 2015

mircea_popescu: understand : we have the liberty to decide tomorrow that gavin was right. or that bitcoin is stupid. or that whatever else. all this because liberty AT ALL.

mircea_popescu: felipelalli or alternatively the cannonical texts on the topic. http://trilema.com/lets-address-some-of-the-more-common-pseudo-arguments-raised-by-the-very-stupid-people-that-like-the-gavin-scamcoin-proposal http://trilema.com/lets-address-even-more-of-the-more-common-pseudo-arguments-raised-by-the-very-stupid-people-that-like-the-gavin-scamcoin-proposal http://trilema.com/third-pass-addressing-the-more-common-pseudo-a

mircea_popescu: hearn was added to support gavin almost as soon as gavin did his "presentation" at cia.

mircea_popescu: "There's absolutely no difference between Keiser's scamcoin and Gavin's scam coin as far as the network is concerned : while one's a scammer that I humiliatingly defeated in the past whereas the other a scammer that I humiliatingly defeat in the future, this makes no difference for Bitcoin."

mircea_popescu: who's gonna pay, gavin ?

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2013/the-progre/ << ahh this has been so nicely consecrated in the anal tears of gavin & co.

mircea_popescu: since we're doing lulz, http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/lol-gavin.png

mircea_popescu: hmm, anyone recall where the fuck i put that screenshot of gavin casually admitting that satoshi never spoke to him after he ran off and "presented" bitcoin @nsa hq ?

mircea_popescu: and speaking of gavin,

mircea_popescu: let's hold a moment of silence for 2 years ago. http://trilema.com/2013/and-gavin-moves-on-to-the-dark-side-the-bitcoin-project-is-officially-hijacked/

mircea_popescu: "Can't see why SN would write about Gavin in this sort of terse/removed tone."

mircea_popescu: The developers of this pretender-Bitcoin claim to be following my original vision, but nothing could be further from the truth. When I designed Bitcoin, I designed it in such a way as to make future modifications to the consensus rules difficult without near unanimous agreement. Bitcoin was designed to be protected from the influence of charismatic leaders, even if their name is Gavin Andresen, Barack Obama, or Satos

mircea_popescu: incidentally, re <BingoBoingo> shinohai: I personally think this is the same process that slowly lead even Thermos to denounce Gavin, just... once enough time had passed to make MP espoused sanity seem original to the uninitiated <<< do not imagine that ms, yandex et all did not know same things i know. obviously trhey do, but they also had hoped they're somehow favoured sons. because "Terrorists will never do that, tr

mircea_popescu: on the face seems more of gavin-the-retard having "studies" and "Economists agree" and "industreew support" bs "if we say it then it becomes a thing because magic is magic" stuff

mircea_popescu: "Note, this is pretty much contrary to what Ulrich Drepper reckons about static linking." << everywhere a gavin! ☟︎

mircea_popescu: gavin does the clown, for LESS MONEY than what the headbashers get. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: be a star! make money! better career than gavin's!

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform usg style is also consistent over long periods, so much so that it makes gavin read like reddit etc.
