BingoBoingo: Qntra shares really aren't a problem so long
as they remain countably infinite
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i wasn't intending to (with what, ha.) just ringing the bell to possibly wake up folks who think they can achieve a new result by doing the same thing
as was done for 100 years. <<< you know, the clerk maxwell guy, arguably a novel result, WAS in fact achieved by doing the exact same thing men have been doing to women for a hundred years.
mircea_popescu: the solution,
as practiced in history, was to teach the drunks restraint.
nubbins`: will the articles be edited, or posted
as submitted?
nubbins`:
as opposed to qntra, where investors will expect diminishing returns
mike_c:
as mentioned, bitcointalk is now making 40 btc a week on ads.
mike_c: asciilifeform: one example,
as given, is advertising revenue.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> or pedal? << Pedal,
as in the pedal tones on a brass instrument
assbot: Bonds rally, stocks fall
as global economy fears mount| Reuters
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo:
as if trains will not fall under same bureaucracy if the fuhrer wishes it. << No, being under the same bureaucracy is why the trains will run.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> the point of a gambit such
as drilled coin is to avoid being noticed. << Nah, you drill some coins to force a search for more of the same
BingoBoingo: Maybe have a few "hollow" nickles, pack with proper density grease, soon you demand hours of inspector's time
as they pour over pounds of nickles looking for an interestign one.
BingoBoingo: But seriously is there any justification for the current design of the US nickle other than
as a thing to hollow?
mircea_popescu: and i bet you 90% of those are actually correct uses of the term,
as opposed to the common derpage.
HelpPlease: it's marked
as refunded but it hasn't been
jurov: yes. still very different from understanding the text
as is
mircea_popescu: mike_c that wasn't worse, those you could identify
as such
jurov: i propose using s.qntra shares
as payment for trilema credits, upon which they are irreversibly destroyed
mircea_popescu: you don't get to measure literacy
as counted by j h newman with "literacy"
as counted by some fuckardacy.
bounce: it's not impossible, even if hard to see being
as it is that same emergent property. so the point is not to discount it too easily.
mircea_popescu: today, someone who has the unmitigated audacity to misrepresent herself
as "senior" SEC counsel
bounce: what this does to relative and absolute importance depends on your viewpoint
as much
as plenty other factors
mircea_popescu: bounce but hear the contrarian view. in 1814, there were about 1k actual scientists in the world, ie, people making their own moral judgements,
as independent agents
BingoBoingo wonders why the focus on news exclusively
as announcement of what happens now and not
as the record historians dig through.
thickasthieves: well think of this conversation
as informing to potential investors that this isnt really an investment to expect gains from, other than knowing your favorite news source will continue to exist
peterl: but anybody can see the inflation coming, so the whole market will discount the share price
as appriate to compensate between "profit now" and "profit later"
gribble: Nick 'TheBroker', with hostmask 'TheBroker!bec3cce4@gateway/web/freenode/ip.190.195.204.228', is identified
as user 'TheBroker', with GPG key id 2AB7FCD6D06C6433, key fingerprint A8B4D8D11C5F71DA8D3059E02AB7FCD6D06C6433, and bitcoin address None
cazalla: mike_c, we've been adding categories
as we go so they will expand over time, not that fussed on tags though tbh
thickasthieves: so while qntra has the least income, and needs the most from few (
as in it's founders will work for equity only at start) it's founders and groundfloor employees get the most equity
cazalla: yes, we can earn from the pool
as well
BingoBoingo: <thickasthieves> maybe i'll submit an article about the problem with qntra share dist model << Qntra shares embody MP view of wealth
as % of math rather than number ot tokens
cazalla: mircea_popescu, yes but a little reminiscent of when the stooge is told to give a check to the tangiers lol he does
as he is told
mircea_popescu: i mean sure in time it can branch out and grow and w/e, but
as an anchor, that's how it was born
BingoBoingo: qntra prolly ought to grow to include editorial eventually. cazalla's decision
as to when
mircea_popescu: yes thickasthieves. the issue is
as follows : no matter how much fun you'll have, there's more people making more people having more fun than you out there.
thickasthieves: this is the same
as the wot concepts, the including footnotes and source links concepts, etc
mircea_popescu: news, dood. doesn't ask you anything. it just puts the burden upon you to make room for it in your gestaalt
as it were
mircea_popescu: otherwise, seneca lived 94 years just
as well
as buffett or w/e
nubbins`: retrospectively obvious,
as well D;
mircea_popescu: nubbins`
as i was explaining to gabriel_laddel coupla days ago, averages are slippery. in sierra leone it's 35 because a bunch of retarded infants die young.
mircea_popescu: "gotta have 'magistrate' judges and 'arbiters' and anything and everyting
as long
as it';s not a judge"
devthedev: I'm slightly worried about the Qntra shares. If the amount of S.QNTR shares double monthly wouldn't the revenue have to double
as well to keep up with the inflation?
mircea_popescu: you get all the advantages of marking it
as valuable with none of the downside of accessibility or deniability.
nubbins`: i have vague memories of both
as well
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves kinda what makes me think of him
as a whore.
thickasthieves: basically goat only knows how to say "i am awesome, i make lotsa coins, think of me
as a financial beast plz!", but in 5000 different ways
nubbins`: "i want to acknowledge that
as with all bitcoin companies, we're a bunch of fuckups who took on more than we could handle and now we need pitchforks to shovel all our excuses"
nubbins`: "I want to first acknowledge that
as with all bitcoin companies, we are working extremely hard, drinking from a fire hose and solving problems, stabilizing the platform AND continuing to improve every day."
thickasthieves: yeha i'm not defending them so much
as leaving the door open to both parties being asses
xinxi: Oh,
as some people trade options here, and since MPOE is down. I guess some of you may need it.
mircea_popescu: "Since August 1st, 2013 iGolder is no longer accepting new accounts and balances can only be redeemed. During the past years, we have been recommending Bitcoin more than our own payment system. We believe in physical gold ownership, and developed iGolder
as a mechanism for people to acquire physical gold by trading with one another."
jurov: but i mean on same level
as tls is now
punkman: maybe I fund and account at coinbr with 0.1 and you mark it
as frozen?
ben_vulpes: ('safe-by-construction', 'correct-by-construction' -
as asciilifeform points out time and time again, these are impossibilities).
Adlai: about
as expensive, relative to median wage
Vexual: you'll be sweet xinxi,
as long
as you've got your head screwed on
`jurov`: Please be advised that LiteSpeed Technologies Inc. is not a web hosting company and,
as such, has no control over content found on this site.
Adlai: (the companies issuing and accepting the tokens are forced to act
as market makers)
Adlai: mircea_popescu: your article mainly addresses problems with decentralized security systems
as a replacement for high-frequency exchanges. i think it's still possible to issue tokens such
as readership credits (or movie tickets, etc) in this fashion, since their market is a lot less dependant upon dedicated market makers
mpmcsweeney: I guess my point is that there's honestly no influence to our reporting, at least
as far
as I
as a reporter and editor can tell -- and Im intimately involved in the process
Adlai: this process could make for some interesting posts
as it happens "live", although i'm busy on other aspects atm
cazalla: good a time
as any for a few beers i guess
mircea_popescu: at which point he moved to actual ddos
as opposed to wordpress reflect crud, which is being mediated in the normal manner.
BingoBoingo: Does rifle make sense
as company expense at 500k IP botnet?
PinkPosixPXE: When the Mycelium Entropy is inserted into the USB drive, hardware-based entropy is harnessed to create a large, truly random, number. The random number is generated using a static RAM chip, which Holcomb, D.E.; Burleson, W.P.; and Fu. K. have proven is capable of generating “128-bit true random numbers.” This number is then used
as the seed to generate a private key and corresponding Bitcoin
