mod6: i'll have
to pick one up when I get a chance...
nubbins`: with
the proper mesh count anything is possible
mircea_popescu: the advantage of silk sheets is you can silkscreen
tits and stuff with your bare hands.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu i silkscreened cranberry sauce onto
thin slices of it
nubbins`: hilariously, you are literally either in
the ocean or a vast, uninhabited wilderness reserve if you are 80km from me
mircea_popescu: hey nubbins` did you handcarve
the
turkey last
thskgiving ?
mircea_popescu: davout if memory serves nubbins` is
this
tall bear-y sorta guy
davout: nubbins`: you better call
the bitcoin police
nubbins`: and he says "maybe i'll see you at <event i'm attending on facebook>
tomorrow at 8pm... i'm only 80km away"
nubbins`: and he got
the phone number wrong ;/
nubbins`: my home address was already public on
the forum
nubbins`: sends me
this serious PM with some google streetview of my neighbourhood and my name+address
mircea_popescu: <MirceaPopescu> and i feel it's mine
to point out
to you
that you're
the [unthinking] representative of everything
that's wrong with
the world generally, and United Stupid particularly.
mircea_popescu: <gurlwest> its possible but
there is such a
thing as responsibility, and i feel its mine
to point out
that Zyklon B is highly offensive and brings
this place into disrepute
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : some guy named zyklon_b joins some chatroom, buncha derps
throw a fit, i
tell em
to stfu, which results in private messaging and ragequits :
mircea_popescu: but who knows, right ? it's "not decided yet". he's not come here
to have his construction
taken apart ;
the fork's not actually been destroyed in
the field, and "we don't know for sure it's a scam" etc.
mircea_popescu: if you as much as sneeze it all comes crumbling down, and yet he's stupidly put all
that effort into it... like a blind seal or something.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's funny just how self-contradictory
the guy is, and how carefully crafted his pile, and how incredibly unstable in spite of all
that effort. reading his lengthy posts is sort-of like admiring someone who managed
to build a half mile
tall chair pile in his quest
to get
to
the moon on chairs.
danielpbarron: and somehow one of
them manages
to keep 500 BTC
this whole
time; someone who
thought his funds were gone because his blockchain needed rensynching
mircea_popescu: but yes,
that is pretty much exactly what your average libertard
thinks politics is : "people with no money
telling
the people with money how
they may proceed"
mircea_popescu: PeterL it'll have
to be discussed, obv. whoever wants
to
trade gets
to work with me on a ocntract
that covers all legitimate concerns.
danielpbarron: the people with all
the bitcoin are
the bad ones because money is evil, and
the people with no bitcoin are going
to
tell
them what
the rules should be
PeterL: mircea_popescu: what happens with your 25% offer if
they never stick megablocks into bitcoin-core code?
lobbes: phillipsjk: Need a day-job
to keep hosting a Bitcoin node
though <<
try out lowendbox.com. I'm planning on following
the advice given here and start a node running some version of debian
mircea_popescu: "Your statement
that
the new fork won't succeed is nothing but speculation, your guess is only worth as much as anyone else's. No one can claim with any certainty
that
they know what's going
to happen." << late
to
that party.
mircea_popescu: irrespective of what "sociopolitical ideals" he miught wish
to force on others.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron funny hpw
that doomad dude neglects
to consider
the point
that "we can all use it" AS IT IS. unless we ALL agree
to use it a different way, it is NOT HAPPENING.
mircea_popescu: "social and political revolution" = more of
the same shit ; "worshipping at
the altar of money" = actual social and political revolution. in
the proper sense, as in,
the opposite of evolution.
mircea_popescu: "There are
those whose only concern is worshiping at
the altar of money and
turning a profit, whereas others see Bitcoin as a
tool for social and political revolution."
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> California
threatens
to seize land from billionaire if he doesn’t start letting surfers use his beach << for
the people! << soooooo ... why would someone own anything in california ?
thestringpuller: "Don't you know? Human beings become omniscient, infallible gods
the moment
they begin accepting a paycheck from
the state."
pete_dushenski: anyways gang, i'm off. don't wear out
those keyboards while i'm gone!
TheNewDeal: I am just imaginging advertisements on
the
TV, similar
to
those during political season in usia, with some phony from
the Bitcoin Foundation and a sign "10gb blocks in 2016"
danielpbarron: too expensive
to run a full node? aren't you one of
the ones
trying
to make
the blocks bigger?
phillipsjk: Need a day-job
to keep hosting a Bitcoin node
though.

to end a battle between surfers and billionaire venture-capital investor Vinod Khosla, who has been locking a gate at his beach property along California’s Pacific Coast.

phillipsjk: Was

the Future of Bitcoin is decided here, not in
the Bitcointalk forums.

to pay 10 dollars, and 5 cabs,
pete_dushenski: Uber promises not
to price-gouge during massive east-coast blizzard << because what are prices good for anyways ?
mircea_popescu: somehow
the obvious "bitch, if you piss in
the bed you will be digging ditches naked 18 hours a day for
the next five years." isn't quite obvious
to gchq angry children.
mircea_popescu: mats: former-head-gchq-warns-ethically-worse-kinds-spying-if-unbreakable-encryption-is-allowed << asswipes in
temper
