Adlai: he's here along with lady and
the goons
mircea_popescu: check it out asciilifeform , one step closer
to slavecoin
kakobrekla: re conference , im disappointed
to find out chief scammer did not show up
mircea_popescu: people
this stupid should really be put
to some sort of use.
Adlai: (this was in a comparison of bitcoin
to
tcp/ip or smtp... "you can't short SMTP when your inbox
takes forever
to load"
undata: mircea_popescu:
the unending
theatre can be maddening
Adlai: another quote from miami: "bitcoin is
the only
technology with a price feed". me: "bullshit, bitcoin has no price feed, although each person in
this room has
their own slightly differing one"
mircea_popescu: they're predicated on
the
theory
that ustardian faggots really enjoy
the feeling of a stretched rectum, and politicians are essentially whores : in
the business of pleasing
the customer with
the least possible effort.
mircea_popescu: undata: because
terrorists can't find an old copy of gpg? << gun laws aren't predicated on
the
theory
that criminals can't find a gun.
Adlai: original btc was an experiment, doesn't excuse
treating it as "just an experiment" nowadays
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: original pgp was not an apparatus for one-off deals with strangers, but something
to use between friends, as i understand. << what you say is accurate, but doesn't excuse. suppose i knock up a girl, and
the blastule in her folds goes "hey, daddy's cock was crooked, so let's make
the baby's cunt crooked
too. nothing like baking in random assumptionbs for no good reason!"
Adlai: ("i use coindesk and zeroblock.
the forums and reddit are good for laughs, but have lots of
trolls and altcoins")
Adlai: seems
to be working well for
them so far, guy at
the conference said
that coindesk is a reliable news source so it must be
mircea_popescu: davout: "Implementations SHOULD NOT assume
that Key IDs are unique", so let's just include
that in
the signature packet. derp << no, seriously.
mircea_popescu: Adlai
the worse part being
that
they're innocent enough
to not know
that's a dumb business model.
Adlai: (not
that most other "news" sites, on all
topics, don't do
this)
Adlai: we'll leave
the zoophilic overtones as an exercise
to
the astute log-reader
mircea_popescu: expensive fur is expensive for very good reasons
that can't really be grasped fully untill you rub your cock on it.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this is
to be
tried. deck
the nude chicks in fox, sable, hermeline, etc. wear blindfold. have fun.
Adlai: they have
these hideous hair covering
things
Adlai: they have
to cover up, although not as much as
the cousins
Adlai: orthodox jewish women don't get
to wear
the fancy stuff
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a proper russian hat is about
there also. sable or w/e.
Adlai: in
the (badly remembered, can't be bothered
to watch all his youtube videos
to find
the exact) words of
the great Pat Condell: "they'd rather
the world returned
to
the stone age, aside from a brief excursion into seventeenth century poland for some clothes"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform iirc my history,
the
thing was actually invented by volga
tatars
mircea_popescu: you know
the ones where wearer looks like he's put a cake on his head ?
mircea_popescu: Adlai btw saw a sight
today in ba jewish quarter. guy with proper astrakhan hat, plus
two kids in full costume.
Adlai: not just israel,
tel aviv. so SoBe be worse.
mircea_popescu: whole country is essentially a "we were
too cheap
to actulaly build
the disneyland but we're selling
tickets
to it anyway"
decimation: except for
the
tiny skin of civilization near
the water,
the city is a giant slum
mircea_popescu: coming from someone who lives in israel...
that's pretty damning.
decimation: first
time I went
there it struck me as a shithole
Adlai: decimation: first
time here.
this may be
the most
touristy place i've ever visited
Adlai: and
they should be able
to get it,
the context is right
there
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> i wasn't probably ever cing
to get it. << you fucks, in five years nobody's going
to be able
to read
the logs who hasn't been here for six lol
decimation: Adlai: had you ever been
to miami before? how did it strike you?
Adlai: well
the conf did yield one good
thing, a new idiom: "bullshit bingo"
mircea_popescu: what's gavin dressed up as
this
time ? perianne boring ?
Adlai consoled himself by asking
the nice salespeople at
the paybase booth whether he could point his mining hardware at zenpool
Adlai: btcmiami is a disappointment, we were robbed of our chance
to hear
the great garza speak
assbot: Logged on 16-01-2015 23:35:28; mircea_popescu:
that pretty much means c - only you realise ?
felipelalli: qntra.net for me is
the more serious and reliable source of information about bitcoin nowdays,
there is something similar?
Adlai: using a wot
to reduce spam/noise
Adlai: won't gossipd mitigate
this
to some extent?
mircea_popescu: my idea was
to simply network a bunch of centralised gribbles.
mircea_popescu: nanotube's idea was
to re-create
the wot as a p2p
thing of sorts, and he's been working at it for a while, but hey. it's hard.
mircea_popescu: then bitcoin became more valuable
than all of san francisco combined
mircea_popescu: Adlai
that's
the idea. looky here : gribble/wot was created a few years ago,. when btc was worth nothing and nobody bothered distinguishing between
taaki and gavin.
Adlai: (this is why my joke came
three minutes late)
Adlai: dunno, i authed with gribble as usual,
then messaged assbot !up, and had
to auth with him as well
Adlai: congratulations on replacing
the WoT's centralized point of failure with another centralized point of failure!
decimation: asciilifeform: of course, said 'pill' couldn't have been 'fired in anger' either? don't need higher math
to understand
the implications
mircea_popescu: and
they are
teh premier unemployable math grad student cemetery.
PeterL: sharks, with frickin lazer beams attached
to
their heads
mircea_popescu: dude,
they're selling
themselves as something more
than "zack & miri make an agency"
decimation: the implication of your statement being
that
the office even has a coherent agenda
decimation: one wonders how much of
that list is simply parlor
tricks vs. 'fired in anger'
PeterL: yeah, I know it is not quite
the same
thing
