nubbins`: better not be as drawn-out as last
time
nubbins`: thestringpuller pm me details about
this work of yours
mircea_popescu: i guess hauling all
those submarines in helicopters in boats in
trains arrangement for securitah has its disadvantages. can't move fast enough
mircea_popescu: strangely, he also seems unaware of
teh obama charlie hebdo blunder. i dunno when
the us was as politically isolated in its past 1848 history as
the
time when everyone was in paris except obama. putin was
there for chrissakes.
mircea_popescu: but in any case, i'd love
to see
the math by which russia produces oil at a profit when it's $25 a barrel.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
that's
the definition of bias. "agreeing with others in
the parts where
they agree with you."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re orlov : my very biased opinion is
that "look, a collection of interesting facts and assorted insanities.
the facts i recall reading coupla weeks ago in
trilema."
mircea_popescu: "And without a functioning industrial economy crude oil would be reclassified as
toxic waste. But
that is still
two or
three decades off in
the future."
BingoBoingo: Really is, nobody "scam hunters" getting pissed
that
the scammer
they like is getting shat on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform << btw saw
the saudi prince interview where he admits
they're best buds with putin now ?
xanthyos: 6
times more efficient
to
type
danielpbarron: idk if it matters since it doesn't sound like
there is a need
to
translate from portugese
to english, but i know a guy fluent in both languages
assbot: OK /CoinFireBlog I've made sure
that GAW article is saved on wayback machine, and I've kept a copy as well. Complete BS.
mircea_popescu: bah, so im writing an article. put down
the first paragraph, 800 words worth of notes.
nubbins`: "If he have a more powerful laser he could have cut
the edge more nicely."
danielpbarron: "I
think its perfectly usable for people who are comfortable with bitcoin, but aren't developers or are
tech-savvy. You could crowdfund, you know, me and my friends go
to a concert and we've got
to 'group buy' concert
tickets, or group buy a laser
tag day or something." Hearn on his decentralized kickstarter

davout: is
there a particular reason?
BingoBoingo: davout: Assbot always kicked people who !down
themselves
davout: oh, assbot kicks now,
that's neat
Elio19: Well i guess
thats "almost cool"
BingoBoingo: Then you reply
to assbot with !v
thePassword
BingoBoingo: Elio19: You msg assbot !up now, and it gives you a blob
to decrypt now
fluffypony: no, you have
to have a
trust relationship with assbot
Elio19: but it does not work like
that
Elio19: I
thought
that if i authed with gribble and sent "!up"
to
the bot
that i would get voice
punkman: "Virtex.com Chart is FAKE,it manipulated by Scammer,name is
TADAS KASPUTIS,he also
the owner of EGOPAY,
assbot: Bitcoin payment processor EgoPay ceases
trading, founders may have stolen millions | SiliconANGLE ... (

BingoBoingo: OMG Karpeles was
the government plant all along
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: He was
the "secret" whatever
the fucks
Trendon
traded with on
Torchat.
BingoBoingo: Wait so Mark did
the Gox, Silk Road, GLBSE, and Bitcointalk scams?
davout: "Similarly, SA Der-Yeghiayan also noticed
that a discussion forum known as “bitcointalk.org” – which SA Der-Yeghiayan believed, based on information from a “confidential informant,” was operated by Mr. Karpeles" <<< whose name starts with 'they' and ends with 'mos'
davout: "Thus, SA Der-Yeghiayan had noted
that a website registered
to Mr. Karpeles had a “wiki” page on it (i.e., an FAQ page)
that was created using
the same version of “wiki” software – “Mediawiki” – used
to create
the “wiki” page on
the Silk Road website."
davout: register
the “silkroadmarket.org” domain name. »
davout: along with a false address included in
the contact information used
to
davout: file recovered from
the defendant’s computer, within a folder marked “aliaces” [sic]
davout: laptop subsequent
to his arrest,
that name is known
to be an alias used by
the defendant. Specifically, a
davout: Ex. C). Based on an examination of
the defendant’s
davout: website,
the name of
the website was registered by someone using
the
davout: he “who.is” information for
the “silkroadmarket.org”
davout: ,
the investigation ultimately revealed, was
the
davout: associated with
the “silkroadmarket.org” website
mircea_popescu: mats dude, a piece about one kevin poulsen featuring a large picture of said kevin poulsen (who looks like a dork) discussing kevin poulsen and stuff
to do with kevin poulsen.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: nice
to hear
that, I'll put my brain
to work.
BingoBoingo: I simply lack
the nuances of
the language
to do a great portugese
translation. Research would be incredibly welcome
though.
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Well, you are welcome
to submit articles for review.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo:
thank you, but I was already discouraged enough. I'll
think of a way
to contribute, I loved
the style of qntra.net - and would like
to see some original research on it. Do not know why it fascinates me, but
the amount of misinformation in
the world of bitcoin is incredible, it's hard
to
trust something without having checked ourselves.
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: but maybe you are right, spend money on it can be waste of money. maybe a simple survey can give me
the results I need. << Prolly do it in
the way
that keeps your expenses on
this down.
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Can I write an article in Portuguese
to qntra.net? Someone can
translate it
to English
to me and I make
the final review? << It is far easier
to clean up iffy English
tham
translate.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: or was
that his 'zil' << zil was auctioned rather recently
mircea_popescu: coderwill it's not entirely clear what you mean by "exchange", but in any case : what you're looking for has been covered extensively by mpoe-pr on
the forum, back in
the early days when
the sort of nonsense was a lot more prevalent/
coderwill: mircea_popescu: anything you wish you'd known when you first started putting
together your exchange
that you know now?
coderwill: I'm in
the early phases of setting up an exchange here in Costa Rica.
coderwill: Cool, I remember a few weeks ago arriving on it a couple of months ago - I
think Wences Cesares of Xapo mentioned it on
Twitter.
mats: > Damn hackers! I want
to hack
them all (my stepdad once set a virus
to
this dork
that was bragging bout his hacking skills,
the virus causes your computer
to wipe itself cleab each
time it
turns on or off! Dont worry, he only sent it
to
that one guy)
mats: what are you referring
to?
TheNewDeal: mp, what is
the email address
that would have sent out a
token for
trilema?
mircea_popescu: it's ludicrous as a concept. showing
that
these idiots posing as "leaders" have
the intellectual penetration of frogs.
mircea_popescu: except, how
the fuck will
that work ? here's a broken c program, make a basic version of it and
then
try
to enforce it
assbot: Logged on 21-10-2014 01:30:35; asciilifeform: 'As progressively dumber programmers build progressively more complex systems we will see more of
this kind of attempt
to paper over coding mistakes with lawyers, sanctions, policies, and laws. Hollywood and
the RIAA are usually
the most successful at getting
the government
to do
their bidding.
Thus I predict
that one day Disney will have a Web site where you can buy access
to any of
their movies.
mircea_popescu: basically
the proposition is
that rather
than writing good software, bad software will be
translated into law language
mircea_popescu: this entire "forget how
the machines work we'll make a legal representaton of how
they SHOULD work and
then hold you
to respect
that whether you knew it or not" is such nonsense.
mats: "(D) violating or about

mats: michael ossmann is
the man.
mats: i
think attendees were dazzled by
the reproduced ANT
tools
mats: although James Forshaw's
talk was pretty good. i can't seem
to find slides online...
mats: shmoocon was meh
this year,
though.
mats: From
the pre-close panel at Shmoocon yesterday: "We used
to be smarter
than
the Feds, it used
to be a joke, how dumb
they are.
The NSA and FBI have a lot of smart people working for
them now, I
think it may be
the other way around
these days."
mircea_popescu: felipelalli: I want
to hire a statistical company
to make a distributed properly research. <<
there's perhaps better uses
to
that capital, whatever you'd be spending. seeing how
the value of asnwering
the "what does brazil
think" on whatever
topic isn't really
that great. i guess it could be a useful demonstration of methodology etc, but
that needs some sort of a plan, won't do much as just a shot in
the dark.
mats: o, hes doing a reenlistment ceremony
to reup his contract
mircea_popescu: felipelalli: But I want
to write it in Portuguese
to someone
translate it
to me
to English, and I make
the final review just
to see if anything was misundertood. <<
this is a non-starter.
the person doing
the
translation can just write
their own stuff directly. you're not famous or anything, why'd you imagine someone'd be bothered
translating you specifically ?
mircea_popescu: but
there'd have
to be some sort of serious upfront commitment
to it. one article now and again isn'treally worth
the hassle.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i believe english is strongly encouraged. from what I remember when
the guy wanting
to write in italian showed up. << well, nobody speaks italian. brazil speaks portuguese. i don't directly see a problem with it, if
the coverage's any good.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: and does
the cooking
too << i remember
that part.
