Pierre_Rochard: I highly recommend it, I don’t doubt you’ll find
the bourgeoisie vs aristocracy commentary amusing, and christian clavier is hysterical
pete_dushenski: ya, not a
thing as much as a ripple in
the ocean, as it were
pete_dushenski: because if we want
things
that don't make sense,
they'll happen.
Pierre_Rochard: On
the subject of french movies, mircea_popescu & pete_dushenski have you seen jean reno’s les visisteurs?
mircea_popescu: jurov

they just don't like
that kinda people.
jurov: well... and papua
tribes should start regulating it,
too
pete_dushenski: just found
the business card for
the bitcoins.com guy, rodolfo andragnes. he claimed

the domain
to mt gox in 2011 for $100k, half cash, half btc.
ben_vulpes: hey does anyone have a link
to a multisignature
transaction in
the main chain?
mircea_popescu: dude impressive,
that guy managed
to get
the pic supressed ?
pete_dushenski: wasn't it
that argentinian guy's and he sold
the domain
to gox ?
pete_dushenski: like
the seagull
that keeps flying into
the window of
the skyscraper
pete_dushenski: "Ex-marine Jered Kenna has
to be one of
the most perseverant entrepreneurs in bitcoin. After his exchange
TradeHill fell apart not once but
twice, he also lost bitcoin.com –
the flagship domain for
the digital currency." << perseverant and retarded.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski no no.
there was
this pic at some conference.
the fall guy (denny idiot),
the sucker (some local professor) and
the actual scammer
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
they claimed circle defrauded
them,
threatened
to sue. never sued, disappeared.
mircea_popescu: not
the danny guy,
the other one,
the greek who was behind it all.
mircea_popescu: “I feel like a martyr—a Bitcoin martyr,” he
told me. “We’re bleeding out.”
mircea_popescu: derps ran off with
the
tradehill customer funds, bought some office space.
assbot: Children and
their delusions.
Today, Jared Kenna and Ryan Singer pe

pete_dushenski: he's known merely as "mr. i know everything
there is
to know about bitcoin" henceforth and forever more.
mircea_popescu: is Nick Spanos
the figurehead for
the kenna scammer or am i confused ?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the fact
that it's changing from "o bitcoin will never succeed"
to "o we missed
the boat so unfair" is quite pleasant.
pete_dushenski: eh, let me add my quarterly nail
to
the coffin wouldja ?
mircea_popescu: and it will still all be stolfi level. and
they will STILL not know how fucking old
the stolfi bs is.
pete_dushenski: no one i
talk
to irl would dare be so derpy
to my face.
mircea_popescu: dude... it'll be 2050, wot long in firm control, random nobody at
the fringe of
the world will STILL be starting webwallets / writing bitcoin hate pieces.
mircea_popescu: "I’d honestly
thought
that such derpage was dead and buried"
decimation: pretty much
the same model as
the 'luxor centre for internet businessmen'
pete_dushenski: young romanian fitness
trainer or whatever is
the perfect match.
pete_dushenski: older husbands have long since lost interest, spend
the day at port on
the golf course.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski of course. women 3x, and
they CAN get it up.
mircea_popescu: outright prostitution is contentious, but
then again
this was pre viagra. couldn't get it up anyway.
pete_dushenski: i sweat
the young attractive men do better on
those ships
decimation: at any rate, a shapely young lady could probably make decent money working
the bar on a cruise ship
decimation: mircea_popescu:
the one I was on was crewed mostly by filipinos. I
think
the different cruise lines 'specialize' in different 'third world' recruitment
pete_dushenski: i've met one or
two romanian dudes working on cruises, ex-gynmast or w/e cum 'fitness
trainers'
mircea_popescu: <decimation> and
the food was mediocre in quality, but great in quantity << in
the 90s it was
the best
thing for avg romanian chick, work
the cruise ships.
pete_dushenski: although jeez, after ditching facebook and a smartphone, i seem
to be moving in
that direction.
mircea_popescu: lol you're at
the wrong age
tho. prolly get 12-20 ppl marry a year.
