mircea_popescu thanks for saving OpenBSD :D
KRS1: Did
mircea_popescu really come to the rescue or was this an investment decision for him? In other words was it a philanthropic decision?
BingoBoingo:
mircea_popescu: I've had the IRL people refering to you as the BitKing because it helps impart a sense of scale. And helps enforce the idea that the only meaningful policy decision Obama could make would be to legalize the weed. Which would help Obama by making him less a hypocrit, but won't help Serena Williams get past Halep in the French Open.
BingoBoingo:
mircea_popescu: Well, most greatest thanks go to you for not scooping this.
BingoBoingo:
mircea_popescu: You know last year around this time when BitBet was the first parimutuel betting site in BTC with an open database I had IRL friends referring to you as the bitking
