mircea_popescu: they have their utility.

mircea_popescu: just because your master stripped you naked and beat you with a whip doesn't mean there's no need for whips in this new state you're making "for freedom".

mircea_popescu: nope. it streams here for one.

mircea_popescu: anyway. it's a gamble on multiple scores.

mircea_popescu: lol that's not a problem, the internet was born to kvetch

mircea_popescu: what's oversharing ?

mircea_popescu: i thought the biggest complaint was that i'm not nice.

mircea_popescu: well...large. 100s of btc or so

mircea_popescu: but yes, there's a large assignment market in it too, otc.

mircea_popescu: obviously those that don't bitch don't bitch.

mircea_popescu: "everyone". hm. it's more of a "everyone that's bitching about it is bitching about it".

mircea_popescu: yes.

mircea_popescu: it's a little lala

mircea_popescu: through a weird agreement they don't sign

mircea_popescu: think of it in these terms : company pops up, doesn't list on nyse, lists on pink sheets

mircea_popescu: "Japan needs to face up to reality, and take real steps to correct its mistakes... so as to prevent a further escalation,"

mircea_popescu: what the heck.

mircea_popescu: i've done plenty of consulting and it was always fun

mircea_popescu: <benkay> it's fucking nice to build stuff people value enough to cut checks for << this.

mircea_popescu: the way to go is just invent a name and use that as your tm and domains

mircea_popescu: yeah

mircea_popescu: 345mn didn't happen

mircea_popescu: but a ny times blog hit is nothing in this discussion.

mircea_popescu: i am aware the domain name scam people are really working hard to make their coolaid credible

mircea_popescu: bgupta i simply don't believe the sort of bs

mircea_popescu: <dub> sex.com sold for $14mn in 2010 << and it never generated 1mn of revenue in its entire lifetime

mircea_popescu: dub yet bitcoin.com was all the bruhaha

mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi some bs wannabe japanese co.

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: i bet it will be very valuable in the sense 10 bucks are very valuable.

mircea_popescu: there's people in btc that can afford 200k for a domain.

mircea_popescu: forget that.

mircea_popescu: well... whoopdedo. why not ?

mircea_popescu: did any of the large btc players bother with it ? nope.

mircea_popescu: point in case : btc.com

mircea_popescu: amazon is only memorable because of amazon

mircea_popescu: etc.

mircea_popescu: mpex

mircea_popescu: twitter

mircea_popescu: google

mircea_popescu: all the good sites are on new names

mircea_popescu: no "memorable domain" has a site worth anything on it.

mircea_popescu: ya, they think like stupid.

mircea_popescu: seriously.

mircea_popescu: it never was scarce, it's never gettingscarce.

mircea_popescu: eh get out

mircea_popescu: even so.

mircea_popescu: which is what we're discussing.

mircea_popescu: but it is very much for a domain

mircea_popescu: 200k isn'r much for me, either

mircea_popescu: that's besides thew point.

mircea_popescu: i certainly wouldn't.

mircea_popescu: and wth, it boggles that anyone'd pay 200k for a domain.

mircea_popescu: bgupta mpex is, yes.

mircea_popescu: if by hardware you mean gpus bgupta it's a loser for him. and prolly for you too.

mircea_popescu: mjr_ they already have, three times. and amazon x2

mircea_popescu: and when did the algo change ?!

mircea_popescu: bgupta btw = btc, gnu = gpu ?

mircea_popescu: mod6 tor is coming i think.

mircea_popescu: it's a self limiting issue

mircea_popescu: price goes up and put is no longer under water

mircea_popescu: whatever that comes to

mircea_popescu: basically a p500 can never cost more than 50 bucks

mircea_popescu: anyway if btc is zero nobody would want to be settled in btc

mircea_popescu: and that's that.
