mircea_popescu: so the drone was infidel ?
mircea_popescu: maybe they finally figured it out and this is the response :D
mircea_popescu: given that bitcoin owns them
mircea_popescu: back in the day maybe 6 months ago or so i went on the dwolla chan asked them wtf they think their future is
mircea_popescu: bah i don't have it logged. maybe kako does

mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=174620.msg2016437#msg2016437
mircea_popescu: honestly i think of the two caldwell is the greater fool. tortilla at least has the excuse of being born stupid rather than deliberately stultyfying himself "for great social justice".
mircea_popescu: or caldwell trying to "mentor" him and be helpful and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: i really can't decide what's more amusing : the tortilla nutjob going unbridled
mircea_popescu: other than having half a bitcoin riding on the result completely changes the pleb's "reasoning"
mircea_popescu: dub i have no idea why this stuff proves so difficult
mircea_popescu: <Uglux> wtf "Mtgox trading engine lag: 47405m 13s" ^^ bwahah
mircea_popescu: maybe it was really 51 and unlucky
mircea_popescu: what if implied hash is 48 TH.
mircea_popescu: except it's noisy
mircea_popescu: well ya but it's a hassle and why bother
mircea_popescu: aha. well...
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if you were a bettor would you take his word ?
mircea_popescu: inhies ignore teh hm ?
mircea_popescu: that thing
mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=205619.0
mircea_popescu: who made the asicminer bitbet ?
mircea_popescu: ;;ticker
mircea_popescu: ok dub you nub...
mircea_popescu: bwaahahaha
mircea_popescu: use gribble
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if he's not on by the time you respond you just get a freenode notice.
mircea_popescu: can not pay in forum nuttery ?
mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: this would be the prima facie reality upon which his complex and convoluted icing is then placed.
mircea_popescu: so basically his complaint boils down to this : the hotel charged him more than he imagined will be charged ; the staff cleanned the sauna.
mircea_popescu: Willdude123 he's married or something ; he runs the TAT pt's on asicminer.
mircea_popescu: he's like usagi on rails
mircea_popescu: that's what's so fascinating about it
mircea_popescu: dude. mpoe-pr was right ?! the girls in the pic were in fact hotel stafdf ?
mircea_popescu: "Charlotta, Mikke, Sakke, Anne, Janne. "
mircea_popescu: i wonder who the organisations of evil are ?
mircea_popescu: "This fiasco happened in the atmosphere of relaxedness without the lightest malice from my part - quite the contrary - everybody who was there can prove my dedication towards making this thing the best in their lives. I don't think the organizations of evil can do any better, if even the organizations of good (such as Vuoristo-Yhtiöt and their Haikko Manor) fail to remain operative when the reality hits them too hard."
mircea_popescu: aww stop picking on the guy
mircea_popescu: dub i wouldn't have, but i'd have ordered someone do it.
mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: im screenshooting all this.
mircea_popescu: have billed my credit card unauthorized to the value of 3,000 EUR, and the several silk suits in Manor Hotel Suite #30 act as a countertestimony to their wishful thinking that nothing would ever have happened.
mircea_popescu: bwahahah wait they took his clothes ?!
mircea_popescu: Now they are holding hostage to some of my and my family's personal items, causing a great annoyance to us (with no offsetting gain to them), and reducing our ability to proceed with the investigation (as I need to buy new suits to keep me supplied, and constantly write here, both with the time I could more profitably use for my bitcoin accounting)
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves ?
mircea_popescu: it seems a lot more likey he's simply unhinged.
mircea_popescu: tbh while it'd be great if this was a display of sheer skill coming from a stable individual
mircea_popescu: It is happening - organizations are being paralyzed in front of our very eyes, unable to even tell me, how exactly I should pay their bill (of 10,000 EUR), and in which order I can deduct the amount compromised, lost or stolen (up to 10,000,000 EUR) because of their criminal negligence.
mircea_popescu: i think so yeah
mircea_popescu: who pleas with the hotel staff ffs ?!
mircea_popescu: "Certainly it was not the hotel staff, they just left the door open in the middle of the night for anyone to walk in. Which is pretty lame considering that they had turned down my plea to have a 24-hour guard,"
mircea_popescu: yeah.
mircea_popescu: dude this is the best the internet has to offer.
mircea_popescu: I had planned for an overkill in all respects, so my organization worked pretty well because of the extra capacity, even after the hotel turned hostile after the CEO refused to acknowledge that they had blown it (and he still lives in his denial afaik).
mircea_popescu: a right.
mircea_popescu: it takes him 16 hours of labour to go through the sauna ?
mircea_popescu: "I have pretty many coins and I store them with pretty many precautions. By many, I mean that it takes me an approximately 16 hours of my prime work time to do it, and it also does not happen without a considerable monetary cost."
mircea_popescu: so wait.
mircea_popescu: jurov nothing good.
mircea_popescu: i approve of this message.

mircea_popescu: now that is true.
mircea_popescu: actually i have a sauna and used btc in it so notrly.
mircea_popescu: jurov so basically his way of becoming relevant in BTC is claiming he used to have bitcoins at some point before the sauna.
mircea_popescu: jurov his keys got steamed ?
mircea_popescu: seeing how you're stuck predicting things months after they happened already or some shit.
mircea_popescu: bgupta i guess you didn't read http://polimedia.us/trilema/2012/the-politics-of-bitcoin/ back in 2012

mircea_popescu: kinda the point.
mircea_popescu: add it up and get some conclusion.
mircea_popescu: mtgox is getting fucked.
mircea_popescu: coinbase thinks "it is bringing bitcoin to wallstreet"
mircea_popescu: mtgox thinks mpex is "illegal". mtgox thinks it is legal.
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 yeah. let me tell you a story about wallstreet.
mircea_popescu: "they comply with the law"
mircea_popescu: this is an easy thing to claim
mircea_popescu: what's the surprise here ?
