mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-05-2015#1133041 << the lol-ziest part is that upon collapse, inhabitants "bought" them from govt, making an eastern europe much socially richer than anyone else in the world. ☝︎
williamdunne: BitOtter - The Bitcoin Options Trade Tool for MPEx
mircea_popescu: how the heck ?!
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i was stuck on a monitor that was losing yellow for months << l0l! i just picked up a sealed, virginal sony 21" trinitron...
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] [PAID] 263.41331311 BTC to 1`000`000`000 shares, 26 satoshi per share
williamdunne: << their twitter page is pretty good too https://twitter.com/H9RBSjs
williamdunne: >If you've just had a baby, try to refrain from referring to the event as a "new product launch".
mircea_popescu: as a poor chitlin in romania, i was stuck on a monitor that was losing yellow for months
mircea_popescu: that thing with the color blue really brings back memories.
jurov: ok, thanks
mircea_popescu: jurov the terms are that you just get it, for now.
jurov: what are the terms?
fluffypony: "@dmansouri, it worked! THANKSS!!!!!! but now I've lost support for the color blue. :/"
fluffypony: "There's a known bug with the IE5 bootloader that's preventing multi-threaded access to the cloud partition. Workaround is to enable JSON override mode and recompile the WSDL. Once you've done that, just deploy the __kernelNode binary to the socket listener, restart the Flash daemon and refresh your browser. That should take care of the error. I know, kind of an annoying hack, but it seems to work."
assbot: [MPEX] [S.BBET] [PAID] 3.52635256 BTC to 10`000`000 shares, 35 satoshi per share
fluffypony: I've actually used that line when responding to a Ruby developer on Skype who was being dumb
trinque: >Does a bear have regular bowel movements in the cool breeze of a grassy woodland area?
williamdunne: v0.0001 came with a load of code breaking changes, don't think it will be stable until v0.000115
mircea_popescu: and yeah, re jurov's link : totally, getting "regulated" would deeply benefit bitcoin. it's not like MPEx being put in charge of the US financial markets would be a marked improvement for the us financial markets. o no, it's the other way around dontcha know.
fluffypony: ben_vulpes: just switch to this: http://html9responsiveboilerstrapjs.com
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: not selling much to consumers anymore, got 1x big fat contract that's still got 17 months on it
fluffypony: "60% of the time it works every time"
ben_vulpes: programming is none of those things, why are you lying to me
ben_vulpes: "the fun, simple, flexible JavaScript test framework"
davout: i'm pretty busy learning C these days
davout: "He was one of the few commanders in history to never be defeated on the field." <<< yea, sounds about right!
davout: ah right, i knew this guy's name, but not his story
gribble: Louis-Nicolas Davout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis-Nicolas_Davout>; Davout & Napoleon - The Napoleon Series: <http://www.napoleon-series.org/ins/scholarship97/c_davout.html>; Ask MHQ: Why Wasn't Davout at Waterloo? - History Net: <http://www.historynet.com/davout-at-waterloo.htm>
mircea_popescu: napoleon's general that won the battle of jena for the confused four footer's name was davout.
davout: mircea_popescu: tell me
mod6: they grow a lot of cotton out there.
trinque: hilarious, the city's named after the company Goodyear
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/causes-and-purposes/#comment-114187 << which reminds me, davout do you know who the most famous guy by that name was ?
Namworld: He often lays just over my shoulder on the dresser
Namworld: He seems to prefer sleeping on top of fridge/whatever is very high. Or on me/around me.
Namworld: I'll have a big thing for him when I move in a month and a half. Not much space.
jurov: yup, give him something own to climb on
Namworld: The city isn't a nice place for cats to be outside.
Namworld: Well he climbs up on fridge to watch birds outside and generally on just about anything.
trinque: but they don't actually behave normally imo unless they live mostly outside
trinque: barring that, does yours have something to climb inside?
trinque: cats are by nature murderous little bastards that need to climb trees and draw blood to be happy
Namworld: Yes, but he goes to door when it rings/greets you. He's also persistant for attention.
jurov: i always feel that am spending more than i can afford
Namworld: Will start destroying/chewing stuff if I'm not home for for more than a day. Kind like a dog, but you don't see that behavior often in cats.
jurov: even live with one... in a flat not any bigger than yours
Namworld: I don't know about that... but he kinds of act like it.
chetty: lmao, no I didnt make a plea deal (those are not legal after all) and if I lied on this form I am guilty of perjury, they get you no matterwhat.
trinque: there's a real perversity to this; they must like all the procedure around it
trinque: ascii_field: are you aware that you have agreed to no less than 10 inches of veiny cock shoved up your ass? y / n
Namworld: The quality of posts seems to have dropped even further. No one seems to understand or have a clue about anything Bitcoin.
Namworld: I'm scared. I just visited the forum for the first time in a long time...
ascii_field: http://cryptome.org/2015/05/doug-williams-guilty-plea.pdf << mega-l0l. i, for one, have never seen the 'plead guilty' form, and it is lulzy ☟︎
trinque: joecool: moral there is that 10 trades shouldn't build enough trust in a person that they can take out 100k :p
assbot: Trust relationship from user trinque to user joecool: Level 1: 0, Level 2: 0 via 0 connections. |http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/trust/?from=trinque&to=joecool | http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/user/joecool/
joecool: whaack: i'm not sure how those fingerprints work, but the way gribble does it is different than assbot
gribble: User 'joecool', with keyid 4A169504F495E1D1, fingerprint D7570DDF7F8527E085A6CBA44A169504F495E1D1, and bitcoin address 1JoecooLw8qohGrFrmhCcPN6Gw355FjxBc, registered on Thu Apr 28 01:50:04 2011, last authed on Fri May 15 13:07:38 2015. http://b-otc.com/vg?nick=joecool . Currently authenticated from hostmask joecool!~joecool@no-sources/joecool .
joecool: not according to that?
joecool: i will say WoT works fantastically well most of the time for trade
joecool: whaack: design the "bitcoin credit report"
whaack: joecool: No doubt that kinda thing is expected to happen, and that's a sad story, but the point is that that kinda thing is expected to happen and you just gotta design a better risk rating system
joecool: after which he promptly fell of the face of the earth ☟︎
joecool: my favorite example from there is aethero... he was king of the $10 paypal trade, built up his trust and then took out ~$100k USD equiv in btc loans from everyone in -otc and btcjam...
joecool: whaack: plz see the long list of people who have been kicked out of the "trust network" in -otc
whaack: joecool: yeah this system starts with giving the customer a gift, the point is to make sure that the people we give gifts are the kinda people who give gifts back
whaack: Our customers would have a debt to settle in btc, if they can't settle it they get kicked out of the trust network.
joecool: but there's a bit of a prevailing 'motto' in the channel now: "loans are a gift"
whaack: I'm not sure how that's similar, in this system we would be blind to any interaction with fiat institutions
chetty: people have certainly sold BTC via things like paypal, doesn't seem much different
whaack: Has anyone tried something similar or know of someone who has? ☟︎
whaack: So I'm working on building a system where people who I allow can spend BTC on credit. They would have the ability to spend my BTC just for having a good trust rating with me, and the business would be about improving the way I set the trust rating / payment limits etc. so that the fees I take in for the service outweigh the losses I have to eat
Naphex: Pierre_Rochard: nice kick on that bucket with gavin :))
decimation: but I do like the idea of using magnetic flux for computation rather than electric flux
decimation: asciilifeform: I did look through the magnetic amplifiers book. It sounds difficult to fabricate tiny transformers on ferric cores
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 06:31:28; cazalla: ben_vulpes, comparable homes in my area are going for 600k, supposedly worth so much more than what my grand parents paid for their massive acre blocks back in the day where they were able to raise lots of kids on one wage yet i'm supposed to believe you're average australian couple who both work and pay for someone else to raise the 1 kid have it better because the total lack of land and bricks is worth $$
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-05-2015#1132928 << and not remotely close to all the fat has been trimmed, even. within your lifetime, a house (even miniature house) occupied by just one family will become unspeakable luxury, as the sovietization continues ☝︎
asciilifeform: i lacked the last two items and so did not buy.
asciilifeform: punkman: but you also must include the cost of transport (even across the street - not cheap!), 3phase mains, and climate-controlled floor to park it on.
asciilifeform: punkman: not far from where i live, one of those things sold (surplus) for 1k or so.
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 06:13:52; Namworld: I was just perplexed by single people with no children struggling with minimum salary, which is ~$1400 after taxes.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-05-2015#1132907 << again, in usa, this wage would disqualify you for any usg payola for 'the poor' while putting you precisely one medical or legal bill away from life-long debt, jail, or graveyard ☝︎
punkman: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hitachi-S-2400-Scanning-Electron-Microscope/221729755269 that's a lot less expensive than I imagined
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 06:38:28; mircea_popescu: anyway, hanbot has a point : join a fishing ship / oil rig / something. they'll pay you 5k a month to live in a 50 sq ft space,
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-05-2015#1132932 << could even save enough for a decent funeral, on that ☝︎
asciilifeform: want to know what you 'own' in usa? try and stop paying the property tax. ☟︎
asciilifeform: in practice, quite the reverse.
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 06:28:58; ben_vulpes: the house i grew up in might retail for ~3x what my parents paid for it, and far more than i'll ever sock away in my lifetime
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-05-2015#1132926 << one of the mantras my parents liked to repeat to me was 'in ussr no one owned their home' - mega-l0l, no? ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: however, it (like the proverbial linux) is 'free if your time has no value.'
asciilifeform: punkman: you are almost certainly thinking of the atomic force microscope made with piezos
punkman: I do remember a fellow that made a crude DIY electron microscope though
punkman: I concede that point, yes
asciilifeform: do you understand the difference between owning your own kalash and serving in ru army ?
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 05:14:10; asciilifeform: what was it herr hitler supposedly said, 'any man who likes to shoot guns ought to join the ss' ?
punkman: asciilifeform: << eagerly awaiting 'electron microscope on welfare' article << i think that's called university
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 03:36:01; mircea_popescu: it's no such proof. it's proof that you are willing to allow the holder of key y to continue in your stead.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-05-2015#1132555 << had the thought, that a 'future pgp' could easily include a feature for key agglomeration - where an old key remains in continuous use when upgraded with new one, whereby signatures actually include both side-by-side at all times, while enciphering takes them in turn. thus, you get the added key length (and fresh keymat) from new key, while demonstrating that you are th ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 10:11:19; cazalla: harem on welfare though, sounds like baseless advice
mircea_popescu: it's not THAT far off from the truth
mircea_popescu: at least in the republican fears, harem on welfare = inner city blacks.
