punkman: anyone wanna give me a node IP I can connect
to for
testing?
BingoBoingo: The problem was Seattle decided
to play with
their food in order
to burn
the clock. Like
the villain
taunting instead of driving
the knife deeper.
thestringpuller: I missed
the "exciting part" as I drove home. No radio station was giving highlights.
danielpbarron: i just noticed,
the foundation's bitcoind still uses irc?
thestringpuller: Srsly
tho. Up until Halftime
the game was neck and neck.
Two evenly matched
teams.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: It isn't
that
they won. It was how
they won. Fucking worthless ending spoiled all of
the fun
that came before... except for
the gold 30 foot
tall mechanical
tiger.
mircea_popescu: as if
that's how
the world works, old men get what
they want for wanting it.
mircea_popescu: basically, one less explored point of usgavin's interest with
the fork is
to cripple
the politically revolutionary side of bitcoin. obviously if bitcoin can't be bitcoin
then
the replacement of plain contracts with gpg-contracts will at least be hindered.
mircea_popescu: Why? Because if you are giving somebody one million dollars for something, you almost certainly have built up real-world
trust, and probably have a longstanding relationship, signed contracts, etc etc."
mircea_popescu: "I'd suggest you go research existing high-value-payment networks and see what
typical fees are for multi-million dollar
transactions. FEDWIRE is running at 6
transactions per second, average
transaction value over $6million, with fees per
transaction UNDER ONE DOLLAR.
TomServo: That was my impression. Almost certain is was pre-fork
talk also.
mircea_popescu: "Also, I used
to read
their logs on IRC, and
there was a guy called 'pankkake' (also in btctalk) who seems
to have vanished. I
think its because
they disagreed regarding
the fork
thing, so if anyone could share
the light on his views,
that'd be interesting
too since I used
to value his
thoughts." <<< wasn't
that over
the systemd fork of linux !?
mircea_popescu: saying no
to idiots is hardly enough merit
to rename
things, we'll end up with weekly renamings if
this is how
things work.
mircea_popescu: (MP standing for Mircea Popescu.. - dam he must be so
thrilled having
the 'basic' bitcoin renamed after him XD) << no, actually, i'd rather it just be called bitcoin. which is what it is.
mircea_popescu: it's been killed in
teh logs, but obviously shills don't read.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: Undeadopolus still looking for brainz
to munch on...
mircea_popescu: that peter r shill is back in
there with his nonsensical golfclub "statistics",
mircea_popescu: "BUT YOU ARE SECURING
TRANSACTIONS WORTH SOMETHING LIKE 2,000
TIMES MORE VALUABLE
THAN
TODAY'S
TRANSACTIONS" << check out allcaps usgavin
thinking bitcoi nin
terms of "usd value"
mircea_popescu: "dude, you don't get
to escalate me. go use
the proper venues
the proper way or shove it."
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller speaking of
the bona fide, i got some pics earlier
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> not like it costs so much more
to print
the word 'trillion' on bill << We might have
to run
that past nubbins'
thestringpuller: "It's called Moronitor because it
tracks users who repeatedly use
the same address." << re: Bonafide
trinque: asciilifeform:
the "right
to happiness"
trinque: why don't
they just come harvest blood from me directly
trinque: that's
the motherload right
there
mircea_popescu: well actually,
that's nothing. i await with eagerness
to see what
the next democrat is going
to promise.
BingoBoingo: However long Obama's USSA persists
they will imagine such
things
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Of course, I'm highlighting
the "meta-wrong"
mircea_popescu: jurov
they pay qntra
to attend. once
they actually get some money
together and can afford being in
the actual press.
mircea_popescu: "Changing
the fees
to be higher for Bitcoin, is going against what people like
to say are some of
the best
things about Bitcoin, it's like changing what Bitcoin is."
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> and none of
these fancy "wine"
thingies << corn.
BingoBoingo: <jurov>
they won't resist parading and making press statements... can qntra send anyone? << Maybe we'll get invites next
time?
thestringpuller: mod6: dat feeling hearing Jeezy's verse on
the Hustlin' remix
danielpbarron: they put all
the people who are banned from bitcoin in one convenient list
jurov: "Another example is
that some CEOs fear
to attack known scams in public because..." lol so
they will attack
them privately?
TomServo: Well
thank goodness for
that. Someone might've
taken it seriously otherwise.
jurov: announce: qntra shares credited
to coinbr users who requested it
trinque: thestringpuller: seems
the precedent being established is "if you're in bitcoin, you may not defend yourself in court"
BingoBoingo: * ben_vulpes wants
to own an alcohol farm << Rye, prolly cheaper
to just buy by
the
ton
coderwill: trinque: was all in
to clans, etc. hehe
coderwill: trinque: but years ago, i must admit
that i played so much
that my eyes would
tear as if i were crying or something
coderwill: trinque: ah, a fellow quake player - nice
to meet you :bows:
PeterL: thestringpuller:isn't moonshining rather dangerous << If you know what you are doing and have
the right safety measures in place it is not really dangerous
trinque: kakobrekla: used
that one in high school :)
the_scourge: trinque: also gravenstein apples are VERY adept in
the pacific NW all
the way up
to cape scott
trinque: plums can handle
the pacific nw
kakobrekla: then you will want
to do schnapps (plums) or whiskey/bourbon
punkman: you can distill grapes, plus
they are useful for other
things
trinque: oooh! now
there's a
timeless business
ben_vulpes: and none of
these fancy "wine"
thingies -
that's an opaque and stupid market
to sell into full of branding and other crap.
ben_vulpes: re grape market << what are
the best plants
to farm for
turning solar energy into sugar?
mircea_popescu: "The anti-fork crowd mostly consists of a small minority of ego-maniacal, 1% wannabees who want
to keep Bitcoin as a niche market for elitist whales because it suits
their vested interests. "
mircea_popescu: most
toothless stoppage ever, but it does
take a bite out of obama.
mircea_popescu: mats:
this is gonna be good <<< it's pretty
threatening, shell has really no interest
to refine further, at least for
the next
three months.

the past couple days: I'm fine, I'm fine, I'll get better, I'm hacking up gobs of bloody phlegm I guess I'll go
to
the doctor

than for
the host
to claim it's perfctly healthy ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
tradecraft, he lives in places 3 months at a
time
mircea_popescu: word around
the
terrorist campfire is,
the usg is really running short on
talent.
PeterL: "The Nuclear Sciences Division within
the Energy and Environment Directorate is seeking a Senior Plutonium Chemist.
The candidate must have research experience and expertise in chemistry and processing of macro quantities of plutonium." <<
Too bad

mircea_popescu: to quote hanbot, "you know had i not met you i don't
think i ever would have realized how well anthropology and sadism go
together."
