mircea_popescu: anyway, i must say i am thankful to the "experts". they've got the rot so advanced by now it's sufficient to look at a site and know you're dealing with actual experts.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i learned of them when looked for a hoster that specializes in censor resistance (through traditional legal-wrangling, rather than fancy tech. it was another age.)
mircea_popescu: that can't possibly take em an hour.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform write to the owner/admin/whatever ticket system you use, tell him that i am offering $100 in bitcoin if they as much as show up here, to claim it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't know them alive, no. but it is entirely possible that they could be lured. it's a small family op, afaik.
mircea_popescu: a) do you know them ? and b) can they be lured or strongarmed into taking bitcoin ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik they only eat usd however.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been using that hoster since starting my site, >7yrs. ago. they're absolutely super. the cost is virtually unbeatable for low-traffic, simple sites. and, on top of this, almost wholly ddos-proof.
mircea_popescu: vaguely related, how long you been using these guys ? do you know em ?
asciilifeform: jurov: but so far the results are not encouraging. email doesn't really work!
jurov: i'm out of ideas. maybe it got greylisted but then the log would say sth else
asciilifeform: jurov: that, or we don't have a working internet yet.
jurov: that's incredibly helpful, thanks
jurov: i don't parse this
jurov: postfix/smtp[9200]: 5DA58147C: to=<stas@loper-os.org>, relay=mx-fwd-1.nearlyfreespeech.net[208.94.116.196]:25, delay=2.1, delays=0.21/0/0.46/1.4, dsn=2.6.0, status=sent (250 2.6.0 from MTA(smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10027): 250 Queued on server)
jurov: but i'll thry to configure the timeouts shorter
jurov: it already helped the site to survive aone ddos without anyone noticing
jurov: i have put amazon TurdFront (r) (tm) in front of it
assbot: The BTC-dev November 2014 Archive by thread
jurov: and then declared signature invalid
jurov: that damned stuff just decided to snip newline in the end of file before archiving
asciilifeform: jurov: i received nothing, i thought that was clear.
jurov: asciilifeform: thanks, i need something to chew on. apparently mailman mangled the patch before saving to archive
jborkl_: yeah, I have the chicken and the egg problem. Now I have traffic, but not know what to do with it. I concentrated so much on making it all and writing the code, I never thought what was next
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as far as i can see - it merely disappeared into the aether.
asciilifeform: this is getting rather tiresome.
mike_c: referral money is simply CPA instead of CPM (actions instead of clicks). it should do as well as traditional ads, and likely better given you don't have an ad sales team.
asciilifeform: sent a patch to turdatron. no worky.
jborkl_: i tries adsense for a week, did not like that. So the idea ben vulpes had was right on target but I am not sure if that is ongoing? ok, thankd mike_c
nubbins`: scoopbot what's the scoop
mike_c: jborkl_: throw up a bitbet ad with your referral address.
jborkl_: I was looking for any practical advice on monetizing my site, did not know if any of you had some (advice) on this matter?
nubbins`: do you have any idea how much stamps cost these days
mircea_popescu: ok, dun get jurov angry, email the stuff lol
asciilifeform: where are they << http://therealbitcoin.org
jurov: it jsut needs to be fed the fuking emails
jurov: yes this is how i fucking did it
mircea_popescu: he has a point here. asciilifeform so where are they again ?
asciilifeform: jurov: once someone (you, ben_vulpes, whoever) reads them - can also sign, and display will read 'two people signed...'
jurov: and where are they?
asciilifeform: jurov: i signed my patches. so if sent, from whatever addr, they should be displayed. (with note that one user signed.)
mircea_popescu: omg it sends the letter or it gets the hose again
jurov: so just posting them with my sig would be rather bad precedent
jurov: i can send the patches myself but did not looked into them yet
nubbins`: why do i have to send the letter, i wrote the damn thing
asciilifeform: you send them << wai me?
jurov: <asciilifeform> jurov: patches << http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/patches.html >> 404 << because you haven't sent any. it will get generated when you send them
jurov: yes, it's limited to mpex.ws
mircea_popescu: .ws seems to have divorced itself from the mothership
mircea_popescu: jurov http://mpex.co/db_dump.php you see that ?
mircea_popescu: who could pass up on some liver damage for the holy cause of keeping the insides of one's body away from themselves.
mircea_popescu: the parts "cheap" "can be self administered" somehow override "safer" in this construction.
mircea_popescu: and since we're on it, methotrexate is used as an abortifacent, notwithstanding that ethacridine lactate is cheaper, can be used without needing a hospital visit and much safer. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, which is why i'm writing it out. easily verified, completely unfamiliar to the general public.
mircea_popescu: and the people in the game are really amazed by the reaction. "what's the big deal ? we've been doing this forever nobody complained ?"
mircea_popescu: so then you know, your average thinking person gets really upset once they hear about the entire "global warming" scam,
mircea_popescu: and this is all okay, because well... science.
asciilifeform: folks who are n00bs re: pharma racket - the above is SOP.
mircea_popescu: as the patents are starting to expire now, the secret everyone know "is being investigated" : aminopterin is actually more effectual in the role of folate synthesis blocker, perhaps not just in the case of leukemia.
mircea_popescu: soon enough the production of the former was judged too expensive, the latter was rebranded as methotrexate, and a history of "bad side effects" and other fud was created retroactively for aminopterin.
mircea_popescu: the company that marketed it also marketed amethopterin, which is in many ways similar.
mircea_popescu: (and other things offlabel, like psoriasis)
mircea_popescu: back in the 50s, aminopterin was discovered, which does exactly that, and was used to treat leukemia
mircea_popescu: this thing works as a highly afine for folate that locks out dfhr, impeding tetrahydrofolic acid synthesis, without which you can't have a nucleus, or many proteins.
mircea_popescu: by the way, since BingoBoingo brought up methotrexate earlier :
mircea_popescu: shows up to receive it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform speaking of nobel prizes, god help us if satoshi ends up awarded the nobel for chemistry and gavin dressed up as princess leila
mircea_popescu: truely i am a broken hand in the chest of bitcoins.
mircea_popescu: sheeeit, i paid ppl 5 btc to write stories ?
thestringpuller: too many to count
mircea_popescu: 67-static const unsigned int LOCKTIME_THRESHOLD = 500000000; // Tue Nov 5 00:53:20 1985 UTC
mircea_popescu: -/** Threshold for nLockTime: below this value it is interpreted as block number, otherwise as UNIX timestamp. */
thestringpuller: i just find it fascinating that the percent of redditards against any hard fork is going up by a lot.
thestringpuller: he does seem too "dull" to have his own agenda.
mircea_popescu: at issue is the gavinesque/redditarded interpretation of what's being proposed, especially in the "how to implement" side.
mircea_popescu: in case this wasn't entirely clear : the foregoing has little to do with todd personally.
mircea_popescu: ex-powerful, now irrelevant duke derping around the corners of the new order, whining pathetic is one thing. raising actual banners to, that's beheading.
thestringpuller: i would assume no less. it would seem though that in the future commandment 1 of bitcoin would be:
mircea_popescu: but let it be clear that if we get that far i will paying for abducted and gangraped usg politico daughters, and putting the videos online.
mircea_popescu: anyway, they want a hardfork or five hundred, they can get it any time they feel ready.
thestringpuller: so this is all plan to get away with hard fork in future?
mircea_popescu: what they get or don't get is not material here. i understand that it's hard for politicos to look past pretty much their only asset, skill and ability, the herd.
asciilifeform: everyone wants... gavin's is just the one that emerged << precisely same verbiage as the pro-poettering useful idiots. vox derpuli, vox dei!
mircea_popescu: the problem with this entire usg strat is that bitcoin never was and likely never will be for the retards.
mircea_popescu: which i suppose is long enough an intricacy that the retards won't be able to follow it.
assbot: optimists comments on Peter Todd's CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY Means Bitcoin Escrow, Refunds and a Fork
mircea_popescu: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2i6pz0/peter_todds_checklocktimeverify_means_bitcoin/ckzdetm << reddit isn't fully retarded << basically, they know they won't get away witrh a hard fork, trying to dissolve the "gavin is making a hardfork" issue into a seemingly better "everyone wants a hardfork, gavin's is just the one that emerged from the democratic hardforking process"
thestringpuller: tinker tailor soldier spy!
mircea_popescu: actual total loot, <2k.
mircea_popescu: at least so teh intel tells me.
mircea_popescu: the two major marketplaces were unaffected
mircea_popescu: it sounds impressive, but once the dust settled it became obvious what they got was something that everyone thought a scam and a cvouple of tiny ops
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it wasn't all that big.
asciilifeform: all the 'sr2' et. al. schmucks are grunting in the cellars, confessing keys.
mircea_popescu: so yeah, whatever, im so thoroughly impressed with the oh-so-almighty hb headshot response bitcoin went all the way up to 420
asciilifeform: lol! i actually saw that film for the first time a few days ago.
mircea_popescu: main united. Those caught tonight in violation of curfew will be considered in league with our enemy and prosecuted as a terrorist without leniency or exception. Tonight, I give you my most solemn vow: that justice will be swift, it will be righteous, and it will be without mercy.
mircea_popescu: Sutler: My fellow Englishmen: tonight our country, that which we stand for, and all we hold dear, faces a grave and terrible threat. This violent and unparalleled assault on our security will not go undefended... or unpunished. Our enemy is an insidious one, seeking to divide us and destroy the very foundation of our great nation. Tonight, we must remain steadfast. We must remain determined. But most of all, we must re
mircea_popescu: how did that go exactly,
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: also must understand the 'good cop / bad cop' dynamic here. the buggers lure folks to their sugary 'imponade' (see naggum) by, among other things, sabotaging the rest of the universe
