mircea_popescu: i am not buying any asics.
mircea_popescu: putting together 2 units out of a 300 unit run is not the same as having made 300 units.
mircea_popescu: the point is that until they delvier batch 1 you can't tell whether they do or don't deliver at all.
mircea_popescu: that's not the point tho.
mircea_popescu: more credible than anyone else, yes.
mircea_popescu: it's Feb 2. three weeks later. shipping takes 3 weeks for EVERYONE in a 300 order batch ?
mircea_popescu: bowjob i have serious doubts about avalon. so far as best we can determine they have not delivered.
mircea_popescu: ovr 80 with shipping ?
mircea_popescu: ;;calc 1499 / 19.83
mircea_popescu: maybe so.
mircea_popescu: wasn't it supposed to be 1200 ?
mircea_popescu: how much is the new avalon ?!
mircea_popescu: o hey. going down ?
mircea_popescu: details!
mircea_popescu: eh ?
mircea_popescu: dude this is deep.
mircea_popescu: So many people in the US focus on being one lottery win away from being rich, when they're actually one lost job or house fire or medical emergency away from being destitute.
mircea_popescu: i wonder what zombie napoleon does for a living.
mircea_popescu: hm, that's a point.
mircea_popescu: like, napoleon.
mircea_popescu: why can't i be a sockpuppet for someone fun
mircea_popescu: generally not a bad strategy
mircea_popescu: will be kinda hysterical if/when SA discovers like... stuff on trilema.
mircea_popescu: why does someone have to be a sock puppet ?
mircea_popescu: they pretty much only read/care about the trolls and nuts.
mircea_popescu: well, sa stuff. to be taken with a grain fo salt.
mircea_popescu: Still, possibly the most legit bitcoin trading site they will ever get and yet they want this one to fai
mircea_popescu: What a beautiful twist it would be if the last trading platform that didn't collapse or turn into a scam which is run more like an actual real one than a teenage dream out of the basement is run by a woman. Because they mock her, ostracize her and blame her at every turn possibly because they can't handle a girl running a service for them.
mircea_popescu: Oh well if it's two people then that's interesting. Some of the people on that forum did some internet detectiving and came to the conclusion that it's all one person but then again these are not the brightest people we are talking about...
mircea_popescu: The brilliant Bitcoin detectives thought that there was only one person who was a guy (Mircea, which is a guy's name in Romanian) and he was just using a lady's picture as a sock. I am willing to believe they got it exactly backwards, and that she just made up "Mircea Popescu" as a sock.
mircea_popescu: VvvV. Also people mock MPOE because it's a subforum of a porn site. Go over and look at it; it's kind of crappy looking despite MPOE-PR's general good sense. Presumably someone else handles the web implementation.
mircea_popescu: Agree that two of the smartest posters on there are women: MPOE-PR and repentance.
mircea_popescu: Unless there is no Mircea and it's just that lady doing a "Remington Steele" thing, only instead of private eye poo poo it's Internet porn/Bitcoins.
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu, who runs MPOE, is a guy. The MPOE-PR woman was accused of being his sock, but I think she just does all the English-language business for him (he's Romanian).
mircea_popescu: It's like they want to scare away anyone serious about using Bitcoins as a currency, I wonder how much longer that woman who runs the (last standing) trading platform will put up with their dumb poo poo. She's hardly some great pillar of sanity since she's all wrapped up in Bitcoins too but she seems to be trying to be serious about things yet they want to shout her down. I am guessing it is because she is a woman.
mircea_popescu: but let's spam irc
mircea_popescu: i don't have it i read digests.

mircea_popescu: guess the author.
mircea_popescu: but NOT INSIDE THEM!!!1
mircea_popescu: lmao. his office was next to the projects
mircea_popescu: "Coincidentally, my office was, literally, across the street from the registered address of BFL at the time. It turned out to be an apartment complex, as BFL was a start up and did not have an actual office at the time."
mircea_popescu: um is this even true !?
mircea_popescu: a huge deal of the fact that they are so graciously not charging Wikipedia for this "service."
mircea_popescu: BitPay just announced that you can donate to Wikipedia in bitcoins now! Oh, they kinda downplay the one small detail that Wikipedia still doesn't actually accept bitcoin. BitPay decided to set up an escrow account where people can give their bitcoins to BitPay and BitPay gives USD to Wikipedia. They did this without Wikipedia's knowledge or consent but they're acting like it's some huge victory. Oh, and they're making

mircea_popescu: Rassah applied to be an MPEx Rota judge.
mircea_popescu: ith Charlie Shrem and Roger Ver is pretty appealing.
mircea_popescu: I'm actually developing a new respect for Mircea Popescu. He's so insufferable that I used to avoid reading anything he wrote but I've been reading his blog a bit lately and the man may be arrogant but he's not stupid. He thinks strategically and it will be kind of interesting to watch him go up against the self-appointed "big players" in the world of Bitcoin commerce. The prospect of seeing someone wipe the floor w
