bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: islam does exactly that, honour killings, still have population explosions
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this is the benefit of aging. you start to realise your time is worth more than money. << a lesson few, even more aged, grok. intentionally i often suspect, as they're too unimaginative to find better uses for their time
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: YES!
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: you're not being accused. you've just been convicted. that's all. << Luke-Jr, of being a banana
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: and so is being stoopid
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: tawk iz cheep
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: pigeons: wow really they are already trying to damage control the 1% of the press they get that isn't positive? and from a bitcoinpete (no offense lol) blog post? << the 1% happens to be what matters in this field. << pimps matter in every field
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: pankkake: natalie portman is a jew? I always knew something was off with her << only on the mother's side. << still counts, of course, and a +ev strategy for it to be so. my father isn't one of the "chosen people," though he's still… frugal
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, you could have posted a screenie with that eulora blog post :D
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, still having issues with zoso and other bloggers nowadays?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nope
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, is that one of your projects or a game you funded?
DreadKnight: evergreen games are the hardest to make and I don't want strings attached over the years; you could check out this article about such games http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/DanielCook/20130726/196754/A_single_game_as_a_lifelong_hobby.php mircea_popescu
DreadKnight: DreadKnight:or even investors, as long as the strings aren't forever <-> mircea_popescu:DreadKnight why not ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> which isn't THAT expensive to do, but it does require a puppet-master sysadmin type to start it all << OMG Bob Beck has a path to redemtion if he takes it
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, connecting Hawaiian or Aleutian island with Bridges, i.e. places that don't need bridges
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: ikr
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm moe dumfounded that he didn't just fck the rng to favor him
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I just guessing off of the name that Julia has a vagina API call, and vaginas are accomodating to nearly anything given sufficient time to warm up
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, want to generate pages locally
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Julia's some clojure like re-LISPening that is apparently getting played with in HPC and science computing circles
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: supposedly stalin, but in point of fact it was a fictional stalin.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, is your billionaire status related to bitcoins?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> nobody wants those. this is surprising to nobody outside of us folk i would think. << Well considering that most US local and state level economic development projects consist of efforts to attract and create consumers... Yeah
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, considered that scenario as well, nice :)
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, figured, that's why the quotes; job there?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, so why buenos aires? "permanent"?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right. hence 'wotcoin.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well, the only scenario where he can't is where a node only replies to 'friend', otherwise ignores.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: otherwise trivial mitm.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: traffic should resemble people exchanging gpg messages maybe << this only works if two nodes have some 'wot' relationship.
DreadKnight: true, but it would have been nice if wp had a timer to avoid that kind of abuse, mircea_popescu
DreadKnight: made my own little blog system, no users accounts or databases, using files instead, will put it to good use soon, mircea_popescu
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, used to, but got popular faster then I expected and hacked a few times without backup; might get back into writing soon, without using wordpress this time
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, I'm not the problem, the game sets me up with weirdos most of the time and it's bad for my health; I don't always have semi decent team mates online to play with
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> the thing is... the country can't pay anyway, so there's not much pork to be had out of "we need better new planes" >> Not to mention the US is the the business now of buying worse planes
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it seems improbable russia shot down the thing. << I'm waiting for the investigation to reveal a la TWA 800 that the plane was doomed when it took off
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: one shouldn't be able to spot a b2.0 node on the network << in that traffic should resemble a traditional bitcoin node? or simply point to point encryption?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you're willing to ditch ecdsa and use traditional rsa, and eat the cost of longer keys, this is trivial.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: either we keep every pissant transaction around, or we snip. tertium non datur, as i understand.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: make retaining blocks spurious << i thought this was solved, at least in principle, with 'checkpointing'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what would you wish to see improved in chaining?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: imho it's a far worse thing when they - do - it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: because actual solution (whether problem ought to be solved is a matter of concern to - other people...) was posted. free for the taking - http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-03-2014#590930 - but anyone lifted it? nope ☝︎
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, every played battletoads? xD
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: deterministic web game for btc is a non starter << this deserves an explanation

cazalla: mircea_popescu, these twistys links never work for me, prob not a big deal seeing it's been all nigger dick images past few days
nubbins`: mircea_popescu "please uninstall" ;(
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, she had the cd with Angry Birds, I hate that game
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, yeah, played that one as well, I was a moba junkie, it was part of the experience and motivation when designing Ancient Beast
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, maybe Ragnarok Online? not sure if it's a moba
DreadKnight: so everyone wants the kills, but you can't have 5 carries in a team, no doubt, because there's not enough farm / gold, mircea_popescu
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, carry is the "Rambo" of the game, the one dealing damage but very item Dependant and squishy
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, I guess you have some terms, the poker / randomness stuff?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, so the assets part is kinda like in stock market, not "art assets"?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, you're not in Romania anymore? A bit confused
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, got a bit caught up reading that blog post, though it's related to current situation a bit, about using the proper terms :D
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, wondering, I'm from Constanta, what about you? (most likely Bucharest)
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, there are several ways of spreading a webgame as well, "web publishers" like facebook, fgl.com, gamejolt.com and many more - the game is easy to embed anywhere actually
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: ah, well I’ll myself out then
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, the game is playable from the website, SaaS business model (software as a service), so what was your meaning?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, back in the day the only method were printing cd's and selling them in shops, so yeah, publisher was needed; now it's internet era, digital downloads, websites, app stores
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, I'm a jack of all trades, designed the project, I manage the thing, make abilities, made the website, look for contributors, code, sketch, test it with fans, whatever it needs to be done; I'm working with quite a bit of people, constantly looking for fresh blood, that's the beauty of being open source
Luke-Jr: [22:23:26] <mircea_popescu> added the entire misconceptions thing… <-- because it is needed
Luke-Jr: [22:23:06] <mircea_popescu> took out the private key discussion entirely, <-- because it has nothing to do with addresses
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: troll
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, even if it's free open source, there are business strategies to it
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, Alright :-) making free open source game project, turn based strategy game playable from the browser; it's kinda like the reverse of Super Smash Bros Brawl, as it features a lot of original characters that will be featured in a lot of other games; the project is inspired by Heroes of Might and Magic 3's combat system, but improved, combined with Trading Card Games; it's fun, easy to get into, but it's hard to maste
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, alright, what's next?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, ok, I think I managed
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> wait... bb had a GIRLFRIEND ? << I don't think I've had any that would be in Lithuania atm

DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, I'm a bit noobish; running gpg in a terminal... and it's like gpg: Go ahead and type your message ... then I paste F6A23D326FDF1035 in? xD

benkay: <BingoBoingo> HANDSofSTEEL: If you really want to go long on ethereum, mircea_popescu wants to go short. I'd advise reading up on ethereum criticism before doing anything rash though. // it's magically also a bet that nothing'll be around in 9/12 mos.

hanbot: dub looks for the unsee button / pigeons: yeah like i shouldnt already know better than to click one of mircea_popescu's links << "omg ew this is totally different than all the things going into other things i've seen today!"
Rassah: mircea_popescu: Most people I know are not in the wot. Sorry, but there is a whole separate "wot" out there that's not quite as... digital...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: shockwave << what's the use if the charge is already set off and the crater smoking ?
Rassah: mircea_popescu: It sounded like you doubted my faith in bitcoin. Frankly I am offended. The statement I made was lolzy and derpy beause it is essentially saying that bitcoin will become so valuable that it will be valueless, which is a logical contradiction, and yet I have heard that statement countless times over the years
mthreat: <mircea_popescu> rtecord <<
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if your alarm picks up TATP, sell it to the americans, they'll cream their pants
Rassah: mircea_popescu: Wait, why are you telling me that bitcoin will work?..........
