mircea_popescu: whatcha got against gingers ?
mircea_popescu: prolly some sort of evil spirit
mircea_popescu: till they're cleansed of goblins in the head ?
mircea_popescu: you seriously see a problem with smacking the "residents" of the hut agglomeration across the skull
mircea_popescu: ihalped.jpg
mircea_popescu: lmao
mircea_popescu: "IRISVALE HALT, Zimbabwe, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Residents of a Zimbabwe village said they've "cleansed" a medical clinic of goblins but nurses who fled the clinic are still too afraid to come back to work."
mircea_popescu: the civilisation of the human race is a work of opression. our problem is that we've stopped doing it.
mircea_popescu: im all for opression.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic right. stealing farmer's farms because they're white wasn't brutal.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic yeah. problem is sometimes these people are experts a la taaki.

mircea_popescu: http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2013/01/zimbabwe-down-its-last-217/61562/
mircea_popescu: the two rarely meet on equal footing.
mircea_popescu: people who have money are usually old. people who grok technology are usually young.
mircea_popescu: well... maybe.
mircea_popescu: as unlikely as it may seem or ultimately be.
mircea_popescu: all im saying is i wouldn't participate inter alia because i have not any way of knowing this isn't the case.
mircea_popescu: now, again, im not saying this is what gmaxwell is doing
mircea_popescu: well yes, but this is a little more ellaborate than just "it's based on math"
mircea_popescu: "a tiny fraction", ie, one.
mircea_popescu: right, but that may be the standard he's held to.
mircea_popescu: my point is entirely that some naive party may actually be thus fooled.
mircea_popescu: as tenuous proof as this would be
mircea_popescu: which gmaxwell can :"prove" he owns by signing with his own address
mircea_popescu: privately, however, if some idiot doesn;'t know about all this, we have what may be construed as a very fat wallet G
mircea_popescu: publicly, we have the result that indeed the method is discredited.
mircea_popescu: so now, at this point, we have two results.
mircea_popescu: right!
mircea_popescu: right ?
mircea_popescu: so as to carefully construct something that by that however flawerd, nonsensical etc method WOULD APPEAR to be a single wallet, call it G
mircea_popescu: gmaxwell proposes to deliberately add together a3, b9, c4, f12 etc
mircea_popescu: so, accepting that however flawed, nonsensical or poiintless, some sort of method makes A' out of perceived interractions in the blockchain
mircea_popescu: thank you!
mircea_popescu: dude, if i say "a car will move items around the surface of the earth" a discussion of combustion engines is out of place
mircea_popescu: this is ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: it's a method. black box.
