asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why would anyone buy the st kitts passport described in the article? 400k usd would get you a fairly comfortable 2 yrs in Ar or the like (or however long it takes there to get passported)
mircea_popescu: anyway, the guy claims he was shremed and it's all okay.
asciilifeform is evidently not the proverbial alert reader

asciilifeform: nubbins`: what would you suggest he ought to be doing ?
nubbins`: as if those from all times would not rather bellyache than do something to improve their situation
asciilifeform: nubbins`: or as if ancestors did not whine in pubs rather than irc

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo this one : http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/029/367/shipment-of-fail.jpg?1318992465
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> minute an' a fucking half of full automatic fire, flames half meter high for crying out loud. << What reasonable magazine takes 1 minute+ to discharge at full auto?
BingoBoingo: Worst part? his wife wanted to keep her pecan balls safe so unlocked the safe in a room full of everybody.
cazalla: what did you expect? it's TV and booze, what else does a bogan from the bush have in australia?
mircea_popescu: cazalla ok, well, here's some ideas : his ears would be bleeding ; his arms'd have fallen off as he holds that thing wrongly ; the heat transferred to the barrel is probably enough to melt it ; he's fired more bullet weight than the child.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> fucking derp from the lumber yard, you know, here's my machinegun drill. i drill all day with it. lalala. << I saw opposite discipline over Xmas. Cousin's family keeping the weapons safe within window line of sight
cazalla: i was promised heat seaking missles and by god i will have them
mircea_popescu: fucking derp from the lumber yard, you know, here's my machinegun drill. i drill all day with it. lalala.
cazalla: my knowledge of discharging weapons extends to nothing more than rise of the triad and counterstrike
mircea_popescu: five times over.
mircea_popescu: that thing, WITH AN ATENUATOR EVEN!!! is probably jammed to shit by now
cazalla: well, we can't have them in australia, so you know..
mircea_popescu: what is this, for people who never discarged a weapon /
mircea_popescu: cazalla srsly, who the fuck fires that many bullets ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> this in case anyone wonders why i "have to" call gavin an idiot. same reason you have to beat the donkey. only way it groks. << People don't deal with donkeys, they make Abbos sell them mules.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If they could math gavin wouldn't have been derping recycled blocks in his hellchain
mircea_popescu: this in case anyone wonders why i "have to" call gavin an idiot. same reason you have to beat the donkey. only way it groks.
mircea_popescu: i did leave them a splendid link to that great scene in miller's crossing, but i guess when you're an idiot it's easy to miss the more subtle messages.
mircea_popescu: cazalla if this ain't nipping in the bud what is ?
cazalla: srs why not just nip it in the bud, check out my gardening series on the topic of nipping weeds in the bud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjwwVsSEXUo
mircea_popescu: but i somehow don't like to think we're being opposed by people this thick.
BingoBoingo: Which... he can't do because torsion.
mircea_popescu: it is marginally possible everyone in his handler's office is retarded enough to not have seen this coming, of course.
mircea_popescu: otherwise he literally will not be able to protect the scamchain.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nah, fork block has to go in before end of march is what my numbers show.
BingoBoingo: Because... we know the people doing tx ping pong and filling up blocks
mircea_popescu: 1k txn is ~ 400kb. that means with a 800kb block that merely creating a 1k 1btc txn bundle will guarantee 50% separation on gavincoin chain.
BingoBoingo: I don't think he can propose until March, then Fork block before may.
mircea_popescu: it's not even clear he has till march.
BingoBoingo: He filled his HDD with blocks in hopes that you'd stay gone
mircea_popescu: and if he had a year, do you think he'd have spent xmas and new year's "filling his hdd with blocks" while i was on vacation ?
BingoBoingo: But he has to take a year, because I got Chicoms reading Stan!
mircea_popescu: there being any 7-800kb blocks is the problem
BingoBoingo: He has to take at least a year or the Chicoms will nevwer mine for his chain
mircea_popescu: he's prolly aiming for putting it in by february, but won't actually have the tech resources to do it and rather than risk a total humiliatory blowout delay it to march ☟︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There was a 50kb block Tonight!!!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nah, they don't have the time. gavin has to force it through rapidly, before blocks actually start regularly overflowing 1mn, because that's his only chance to get pools surrepetitiously mining v3 blocks while gavincoins not being massively doublespent.
cazalla: punkman, in the alpha technologies example, they are alleged to have used bitpay to cash out btc pre order money for their non-existent scrypt asics, all they needed to do was pay the rent on a shop front to get it going http://media.coindesk.com/2014/12/Dec-10-Alpha-Technology1700px-630x472.jpg
BingoBoingo wants to see people
BingoBoingo: Well, yeah the idictments so far are a lot of qntra's meat.
mircea_popescu: journalism is about collecting facts and giving the parties the *opportunity* to comment. they don't want to take it, silence belies guilt.
