BingoBoingo: Stirring shit up with North Korea is a natural move for
the United States, because it distracts from
the United States surrendering
to Cuba
to end
that battle of
the cold war.
decimation: BingoBoingo: well, certainly we (the public) will not see
the evidence
BingoBoingo: Whatever
truth
there might have been
to who attacked sony is gone.
Too late now.
decimation: eh, I guess I'm not
that cynical. I believe
that any scrap of evidence
that can be used
to stir shit up will be used by usg
to sell an agenda
decimation: asciilifeform: microsoft produces shitware -> sony uses shitware -> 'best' korea abuses shitware -> usg gains 'writ'
to more
tax dollars
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: For all I know Snowden was a plant for
the purpose of stalling and disappearing aspiring "second" leaker
BingoBoingo: decimation: I mean if you do produce something with your angle doesn't have
to be a long piece. Just give it some bite.
decimation: asciilifeform: actually
that's not a very accurate picture
BingoBoingo: decimation: If you can find an angle
that makes
the mere filing of a lawsuit interesting write it up for qntra and claim some shares. Otherwise I'm going
to keep digging for more skidmarks on Preet's undies.
decimation: if usg supports
the suit
to annoy snowden,
they
tacitly admit
that
they are stewards of
the
taxpayer's property, and open
themselves up
to claims against malfeasance
decimation: BingoBoingo:
the lawsuit is actually amusing, because it divides usg against itself
BingoBoingo: SuperEddy: Repent what? I am my own God and already forgiven all of my
transgressions.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure.
Then it becomes news along with
the parties
to
the case.
SuperEddy: NOW IS
THE
TIME
TO REPENT AND HAVE MERCY IF YOU COULD ARRIVE IN GODS PRESENCE WITHOUT
THE BLOOD COVERING YOU HE WOULD LITERRALLY ANITLAITE YOU, YOU WOULD SCREAM FOR HELL
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure. Winning is news. Filing is What $20-$250 at
the county courthouse?
SuperEddy: its not just calvinism but
the bible says it
BingoBoingo: lol, I
thought about newsing
that up but... Does every rural person who files a lawsuit deserve
their own story
then?
decimation: kakobrekla: bounce off
the moon << yeah, radio hams do
this, but
the antenna farm required
to make it work is quite large
cazalla: unless
they give it
to me, it's not going on qntra
kakobrekla: well, you can also bounce it off
the moon on
the way
to dc.
punkman: you can ship
TB drives
to datacenter,
then do incrementals
kakobrekla: i also dont do it. cause if have half of your upload and a few
tb of stuff.
kakobrekla: wait you want
to backup your local stuff
to some internet server ?
kakobrekla: backup
to
two different offsite servers
punkman: this zpaq
thing could almost fit in head
kakobrekla: punkman
the less dependencies
the better. (also saw
this in bbet cli :)
austeritysucks: so it has worked fine for me but i have yet
to withdraw so i can't fully vouch
cazalla: i have
things
to do, nice
talking austeritysucks
austeritysucks: cazalla, i've been using it
to eliminate volatility in receiving btc payments
austeritysucks: cazalla, but yea i dont want
to get horse in front of carriage i need
to make
this exchange system working better before i worry about expanding customers right
cazalla: works here in australia
too austeritysucks although a lot of people report otherwise
austeritysucks: "At
this
time, bank accounts and credit cards from your country cannot be linked
to Circle. Our apologies for
the inconvenience. " :(
punkman: I'm
thinking zpaq > gpg > rsync
cazalla: well, as punkman said, circle.. refer your customers
there
to get btc instead of paypal
austeritysucks: cazalla, and
theres already many options for ppl
to go btc
to cash,
that's not my concern.
austeritysucks: but i
try my best
to encourage people, set
them up a hotwallet, shoot
them $1 in btc or something ,and get
their lips wet
cazalla: because
that's is where
that market will move anyway
cazalla: maybe
think a little further down
the road and
think of people wanting
to cash out items
to bitcoin instead of cash
austeritysucks: because i
think if at least
the key:btc exchange works with 1 steam bot
then it will be easy
to expand nad once expanded people will adopt BTC for
the purpose of being able
to cahs out
to real money so drama-free
austeritysucks: but for now i want
to get
the steam bot C# code working and
then
the front-end listings/btc purchase php stuff
punkman: sends me 3 SMS every
time I login/buy/withdraw
cazalla: i don't really give
two shits if circle gets carded
to death, i can buy with my own cc in
the meantime
cazalla: but
that is not
the buyer's problem
austeritysucks: the minute
there is any place
that allows for simple cc buy of btc you will have lots of stolen cc's using
the service
to get btc
austeritysucks: cazalla, not with
the way most people make such payments (cc)
austeritysucks: cazalla,
the majority of people prefer paypal over bitcoin in
the community unfortuantely, so
the big issue is getting people
to adopt bitcoin, i was suggesting
that an easy way
to promote adoption is
to get people
to be removed from
the btc payment mechanism and have a userfirendl front end
that is like using CC, but behind
the scenes iti s buying BTC,
transferring BTC (and maybe even
cazalla: pretty easy
to purchase small amount of btc now austeritysucks
cazalla: i don't follow, how does
that bother me if i already have bitcoin and i want
to buy/sell butterfly knives?
austeritysucks: but so many people will avoid using it because
they can't acquire btc without bank
transfer etc
cazalla: i'm sure
there are some kids who during bored summer holidays will figure out how
to get bitcoin and buy/sell habbo items and shit like
that
austeritysucks: but because of how credit cards work its really impossible
to do it
cazalla: give it
time, it'll come i
think
austeritysucks: then
there is
this learning curve
that nobody wants
to climb
austeritysucks: unfortunately credit cards all have chargeback, and until people can acquire bitcoins with creditcards at point of sale
to remove
the buyer from
the "confusion" of
the payment mechanism
austeritysucks: yea a charge-back free payment system is natural, but you see
the
typical excuses from people who refuse
to adapt
cazalla: dunno why uptake is so slow by gamers, i'd have killed for something like
this back in everquest
austeritysucks: so people could buy keys for below store price in BTC and safely cash out
their inventory
to real cash by selling items for keys and selling keys on exchange
austeritysucks: yea so my idea was instead of recreating
the steam community market for bitcoin, just narrowing down
to
the keys would be simple
to implement
cazalla: i
think maybe you will see more of bitcoin in
that as
time goes on
cazalla: ah soz, i was
thinking cd keys not key keys
austeritysucks: its just
that keys are used in
the
trade window, so
they're
the best "currency"
to be used in
trading higher value items
cazalla: bitcoin is such a good fit for
this
cazalla: yeah, get scammers offering
to buy weapons using paypal all
the
time
austeritysucks: paypal is horrible for digital goods
though so it's a natural fit, just hard
to get
the community
to adopt it
austeritysucks: eh its okay, hard
to get people
to reject paypal and go with btc
cazalla: then flip it
to someone who wants
the knife for bitcoin, making a small btc profit
cazalla: do good volume? butterfly knives seem ideal means
to go from fiat -> steam -> butterfly knife -> rmt -> bitcoin
austeritysucks: cazalla, i handle
transactions
through a subreddit and csgolounge
mircea_popescu: alrighty, well,
that was all for me
today. hohoho an' merry xmas yo!
mircea_popescu: usually it ends up a little later with "here's
the
thing we were
talking about, except i built it inside a submarine just in case. and here's some beer i brewed and by
the way, do you know candi and brandi ?
they're
twins."
mike_c: yeah,
that would likely only happen once.
