davout: "that's
the main
thing i'm constantly impressed by, his demeanor is exactly right for
the position he's in. he's a role model
to us all, a modern day gandhi so
to speak. ;)"
kakobrekla: i noticed when i was coding
that keyservers
tend
to go down a lot
kakobrekla: try in 30 min will you, and if it doenst work
then ill do it manually or smth
kakobrekla: does it
take like while before it says it cant find it ?
diametric: trying
to figure out why assbot can't find my key on mit.pgp.edu.
undata: no,
the bank and state do
undata: mike_c: it's
that watered down socialist meaning of "own" where it's abstract, not "this is under my control"
mike_c: which isn't really
true. and
the fact of
that will become interesting when mpex
takes a side on
the hard-fork.
mike_c: i suppose his point is along
the lines of "mpex controls
the coins it is holding, but account holders own
them".
mike_c: bitcoin-dev is confused about some
things.
davout: thestringpuller: yes
they do, but
they love it
davout: the perfect duration for a meal is when
the end of
the previous one overlaps with
the beginning of
the next one
davout: "gonna get me some subway, see you
tomorrow"
davout: "can’t right now, have a lunch meeting. Happy
to another
time"
davout: "if you want
to come in #bitcoin-assets and argue a bit your proposal, a bunch of folks would be interested" <<< let's see how
that goes
mircea_popescu: nothing about your own intellect, experience, competence or otherwise merit justifies me even knowing your fucking name. you're nobody in
the plainest sense, i can
throw a rock in any
town in america and probably hit
two of you!
mircea_popescu: hey gavin ? YOU ARE GETTING A FREE RIDE. you're pretty much
the only one. you're a middling software engineer
that is STILL leeching some historical happenstance.,
mircea_popescu: that's what "free ride" is now. having built value over
time is a "free ride"
mircea_popescu: "I’m waiting for somebody
to notice us greedy early adopters get a free ride on
transaction fees and complain....."
mircea_popescu: there's
two kind of idiots in
this world :
the retrograde, and
the paygrade.
mircea_popescu: well,
tell him he has a chance
to be heard, and learn exactly why he is wrong and generally grow as a person.
davout: mircea_popescu: private, he pm'd me on btctalk after seeing me comment on
the fork off
thread
mircea_popescu: seems kinda bizarre gavin still pretends like he's had a public discussion about
this but so far has not quite got his courage up enough
to bring his hairball of non sequiturs, wild jumps and logic holes over here.
mircea_popescu: davout yeah but why should you be spared
the sort of idiocy living
there.
davout: thestringpuller:
ty, let's see how
that goes
davout: mircea_popescu: dunno, didn't do it myself, figured it'd be
too good for
them and get downvoted anyway
davout: their accent and some of
their expressions are extremely cute
tho
davout: actually
the people from Québec might be even more hardcore protectors of french purity
than
the people from france
thestringpuller: gotta make sure french language stays pure against all
the hoodlums and
their slang
davout: i guess
the
translator ran it by several actual frenchologists
mats: an idiot's guide
to opsec.
mircea_popescu: stop pretending like you can push walls around and go
take your ritalin.
mircea_popescu: you are ill qualified
to as much as change a fucking version in
the bvlocks, let alone
the database.
mircea_popescu: "i want
to
tear down
this wall". "why ?" "it opresses me". "the wall keeps
the outside out" "OH SO YOU ARE SAYING WE SHOULD PUSH IT FURTYHER IN ?"
mircea_popescu: "<gavinandresen> Ah— so you’re saying we should decrease
the 1MB limit, so
there are higher fees and miners make more money?"
nubbins`: because if all
that's left is a
train, you better believe we're gonna make it run!
nubbins`: interestingly,
they choose
to waste
their fuel on locomotion rather
than as a heat source
nubbins`: THE LAST SURVIVING HUMANS ARE STUCK ON A
TRAIN
THAT NEVER STOPS
mircea_popescu: not in
the sense where some vcs come on later, pat us on
the head, give each a car and wipe us out.
mircea_popescu: maybe
this has merits as a website develoipment paradigm
mircea_popescu: here's
the
thing :
the vc circus has created an entire culture of
these idiots. "grow fast make no money sell out"
davout: it's
true it's not very clear
though, being at
the bottom
mircea_popescu: "The fundamental pain point here, is
that Gavin insists on everyone being able
to get in, instead of allowing a sane
transaction fee market
to emerge, by letting
the blocks actually fill-up."
mircea_popescu: i dun like so much about my eyes how
they miss
things :D
mircea_popescu: davout i don't like so much about your blog
the fact
there's no clear mention of
the date.
kakobrekla: maybe he was reading #b-a on how art keeps getting record high prices and battles inflation and
though he was getting a piece of hedge
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron:
that coupled with
the "oh you accept bitcoin? let me shower you with undeserved business" mentality <<
tends
to be what burns Blazedout419
danielpbarron: he probably wanted
to show off having lots of BTC
to his forum buddies /
that coupled with
the "oh you accept bitcoin? let me shower you with undeserved business" mentality
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: He's kind of anti-kako. While anything kako calls scam is scam andything Blazedout419 gravitates
towards
tends
to burn him.
gribble: You rated user Blazedout419 on Sun Mar 2 12:59:46 2014, with a rating of 2, and supplied
these additional notes:
trusted
trader.
nubbins`: i know he's not a shill and he's not a fool, but beyond
that... shrug
BingoBoingo: davout: Yeah. Even different in
the most basic
things, fucking iostream.h
danielpbarron: didn't WC brag about having access
to illegal woods?
nubbins`: oh my god, what if
that wood collector guy illegally imports wood and Blazedout419 was working undercover with customs?!
thestringpuller: i
think asciilifeform submitted patch
to gut all of it out.
danielpbarron: ok so make it, pay 1000 bitcoin
today, get 750 gavincoin later;
that way
theirs is framed as
the more valuable one
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> apparently
they'll want
to change bitcoin
to gavincoin 1:1 later on, but
they don't want
to change it at a 25% discount
today. << should better offer it at 25% over, otherwise
they are admitting
their coin has
the lower value
davout: thestringpuller: i
thought visual c++ was just an ide
kakobrekla: how do

thestringpuller: marketing design sector was
told, "You need
to incorporate more photography"
mircea_popescu: yeah,
totally need more adoption so
the various scammers with bootstrap websites can burn more noobs.
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo:
This is also
the rationale behind a baseball game on a hot summer day. Grrr...we need
to go
to one
this ear
thestringpuller: well anything you do in C++ you can do in C. like
that song (anything you can do I can do better)
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller monolitic c at least had some rationale back in 1980. but c++ is not c, and for
that matter
the year's not 1980 either
BingoBoingo: I mean I have no problem with killing animals for food, but I prefer fishing
to hunting because fishing has better complimentary activities you can multitask with it.
mircea_popescu: "oh i have 50 btc in a wallet somewhere, i contributed 5000 lines of code
to bitcoin core
that will have
to be
taken out later at considerable expense and i go
to all
th conferences if some scammer is paying
the airfare (coach)"
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: nah, writing everthing in c++ is dumb. << wasn't bitcoin-qt 0.1 in Visual C++?
that was even worse
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yeah, and
they all work because 4. none of
these derps actually matters in bitcoin.
kakobrekla: 1. otc order book is dead, 2. noone is
taking offer seriously, 3. everything else is delusion
BingoBoingo: Yeah
they need
to find another sporting venture, because it is perfectly fine
to be a fishing party while sitting around drinking beer.
mircea_popescu: roughly in
the position of a hunting party
that's out
there building sandcastles and collecting flowers.
