mircea_popescu: jurov << ppl be complaining they can't see teh code ?

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla hey is there going to be a party on the log's 1mn th line ?

mircea_popescu: including the actual bitcoin foundation is the correct move there. mod6 ben_vulpes are in charge. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: yeah, you did. you were promised one thing, got another thing, they told you "it's just as good, pretend like you got the original". and you did. becauser you believed them, that delivery's imminent and errything.

mircea_popescu: i will just remind you that you actually believed the bfl scammers, and stained your own beard lieing about THAT delivery.

mircea_popescu: and what lies gavin is sprouting to an eager ear... his problem.

mircea_popescu: there is no "community" agreement. reddit isn;'t the community.

mircea_popescu: exactly what this is.

mircea_popescu: perhaps as valuable as an ethereum node, that.

mircea_popescu: as far as hardforking goes." << the downside of a hardfork is that every user that buys into the gavin scam will be left without a bitcoin node.

mircea_popescu: "Downsides of a hardfork are simply that all nodes who do not go along with the upgrade are left without a functioning Bitcoin node, and susceptible to fraud (double spending, etc). This means a mandatory update of every node in the wild, which could require hardware upgrades as well. Miners are not in any special position to decide a hardfork, and are at the mercy of the bitcoin users (mainly merchants and exchanges)

mircea_popescu: One night, Charles Manners (Lord Lieutenant of Ireland) appeared in the regal box at the theatre on the same night that Peg was attending the show with her girls. Some wags in the gallery began shouting at her “Oy Peg! Who slept with you last night, Peg?” Peg gave them an imperious look, threw a dramatic glance at the Lord Lieutenant and in a scolding tone, said: “Manners, you dogs!”

mircea_popescu: i was thinking umm lake havasu wtf.

mircea_popescu: "Question: Why would I go to the fucking dumpy ass trailer park called Lake Havasu when I am currently living in Carefree and 10 minutes from Scottsdale?" lol i was waiting for this.

mircea_popescu: the type of plague that destroys the medical community, that guy.

mircea_popescu: AS IF THEY WERENT GENTLEMEN

mircea_popescu: right about at the time they tarred and feathered that asinine idiot who said they should wash hands ☟︎

mircea_popescu: genders don't preserve through the eons, they bleed. the french soldier of 1800 wasn't a soldier in 1750. he was a peasant.

mircea_popescu: there weren't as many of these.

mircea_popescu: old men pretending to be teaching the young'uns "trigonometry" who thought pi = 3.

mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that he'd have a complex story as to how earthworms cause trees to flower

mircea_popescu: if gavin were a blacksmith, he probably would have passed for a good one. if this guy were an actual lumberjack, he'd probably have counted for a fine lumberjack.

mircea_popescu: fifty or five hundred years ago, that wasn't a crowd. it was sole individuals, and the idiots were still a crowd.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i mean it deeper than that. i mean, actual quacks passing for professionals. see, since the internet there's a line being drawn : sure both gavin and wood dude pass to a certain crowd as idiots for the genuine article. but there exists a thinking crowd that sees through it.

mircea_popescu: the funny thing (to me) here is, gotany idea how much of this shit floated before there was an internet ?

mircea_popescu: the river shapes the rocks, right ?

mircea_popescu: he can still prove it to you, but only secretly and if oyu agree.

mircea_popescu: "I can and will still prove to you that Nubbins is full of shit and on a smear campaign, i am now just choosing to do so directly with the people who matter, not every tom dick and harry that thinks they know a darn thing about woodworking"

mircea_popescu: it's like a diamond, depends which way the light falls.

mircea_popescu: hard to tell, this.
