mircea_popescu: yeah, it cost me some money, but it also established a point.
to my benefit, and of course
to anyone else's who's paying attention, but
that's a freebie for small fish.
assbot: Logged on 27-11-2014 12:56:26; nubbins`: mircea_popescu:well if he did nubbins has some 'splainin'
to do lol. <<< nope, in fact, i am also mildly perturbed by
the fact
that i mailed over $4,000 of goods
to
the guy and we didn't even get a couple measly pictures out of it
mircea_popescu: adlai not what it was. more of a "couldn't really refuse" sort of
thing.
rithm: mircea_popescu did better at "more
than a car, less
than a house"
than me
adlai: ok, let's say you weren't
the only mark... still
mircea_popescu: cazalla :
the problem is
that wordpress fucks up
the dashes
rithm: unless you spent a lot
time cementing it into your relaity
adlai has all kinds of
things
to say about giving 200btc
to such a person, although
they're founded on initial impressions so he'll keep
them
to himself
rithm: if you didn't blink an eye and give it
two seconds
thought, who is
to say it happened
mircea_popescu: as in, you know, rather
than book a loss, pretend like it never happened. because if you don't agree it happened, it didn't really happen.
cazalla: does qntra's november report not verify? is
that what davout is saying in his comment? if someone can check, would appreciate
mircea_popescu: kinda shocking for
the idiots at
the
time, because before i did
that, everyone just schmoozied with
the scamers
mircea_popescu: then i lent him some btc he couldn't repay, specifically for
this purpose
rithm: did
the starfish pull an exit scam also
mircea_popescu: kept making all sorts of idiotic claims, giving "ratings" and
the whole shebang
rithm: the misprioritized
time would be devastating
adlai: the name rings a bell, I'm sure google can deliver, if it's really relevant
that I know
this particular scam (it was a scam, no?)
rithm: i would regret allowing myself
to listen
to
the scammer in
the first place, more
than
the money, it's a gut feeling
thing
adlai: although I guess retiring is a form of buying your own
time
adlai: this is
true, it's quite distressing,
this lack of fungibility... I can pay somebody else for
their
time, but I can't buy mine back
rithm: losing
time might be more precious
than
time in some circumstances
rithm: favorite quote so far: "That's enough money
to create a small industry of people whose sole work is just sort of
talking about bitcoin all
the
time."
mircea_popescu: where did
they find a pretentious noob blogger
to write
this
typical sort of pretentious noob blogger shit
mircea_popescu: "Over
the past few days we have noticed a significant uptick in complaints directed at our help desk about a fraud being perpetrated upon innocent Bitcoin users."
kakobrekla waits
the day bitcoin foundation puts out a warning about bitcoin foundation
kakobrekla: too much shit when you google
their name so
they switch my guess
mircea_popescu: mike_c fortunately
total interest is like a quarter, so nobodu's losing any sleep over it.
mircea_popescu: and ima put a hold on it because srsly it does not seem
to exist anymore.
BingoBoingo: Is
the new scamzor MO, "STFU we outlasted
the BitBet Bet?"
mircea_popescu: <adlai> oooh why was I never pointed at << no actually i
think you were, like eartly on
mike_c: looks like volume is in
the gutter
though.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the "no black people"
thing was funny. i guess cazalla's putting something in
the water.
mike_c: 11%
to 60% of
the
time
mike_c: yes, and it's 97% certain
to be within +- %50 of what it says.
adlai: it's an index relative
to
the internet average
mircea_popescu: like, if out of
the 1bn people on
the internet 100mn have kids, and out of
the 1000 people on qntra 103 have kids.
mircea_popescu: according
to whatever indexes
they keep, qntra is above average is all.
mircea_popescu: and
that's
taking a very lax view of "line" and "logic".
mircea_popescu: it's a perpetual and uphill battle
to keep
them more or less in line with logic
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform << elaborate plz << what's
to say really ? brains aren't made for
thinking specifically anymore
than html is made for
the web.
they just got pressed into
this service.
rithm: therealbitcoin.org is easy enough
to remember
adlai: 1:10 in
the linked video
adlai: best part is when
they fucking rotate
the picture, I mean... did nobody in
the film crew ever hold a fucking camera in
their life!?
adlai: hang around bitcoin for long enough and you realized
that around
these parts, "enhance" is pronounced "hash"
kakobrekla: idk what easier
to remember
the raw ip or
that url
rithm: this will never work because it's all plain
text

adlai: Dawkins...
thought
the future war among
the different atheists sects, which he felt had "a certain amount of
truth in it"... reminded him of
the Judean People's Front and
the People's Front of Judea

kakobrekla: aha but srsly i dont
think
that rithm
thinks what he
thinks he
thinks
adlai: tl;dw:
three competing organizations wage endless war in
the distant future: Allied Atheist Alliance, United Atheist Alliance, and Unified Atheist League
adlai: there are probably better ways
to watch
that clip/episode, but I definitely can't send you a url
to an external HD
that isn't even connected
kakobrekla: then
they proceed
to shooting each other.
kakobrekla: one hears something moving, points
the gun in
the dark and asks "who are you? are you with
the bitcoin foundation?"
kakobrekla: i see,
two soldiers from opposing foundation forces find
themselfs in a pitch dark room.
kakobrekla: oh
this is gonna cause so much confusion.
