saifedean: coz i really enjoy grilling, i'm very good at it, people really like my steaks and i could get
them
to pay me good money
to eat it if i put my head
to make it good... sounds
to me like a better way of spending your life
than any bezzle career
saifedean: undata & mp, i'm actually
thinking of starting a grill restaurant...
to be named
the honey badger grill, bitcoin preferred

thestringpuller: i don't want
to bother anyone with
the pain
that is regex ~_~
saifedean: it sure as hell beats working in
the world of bezzle, a slave-like existence producing nothing and wasting your life in a worthless pissing contest whose first prize is
the ability
to kiss a bigger ass
mircea_popescu: turns out, it can keep
the sane man about
three years.

saifedean: very nice, retirement is underrated.
the main appeal of academia for me is
that it is a halfway house
to retirement
saifedean: i got a bunch of gaming forum posts, nothing
to do with you
saifedean: may i ask what did you do in
the pre-bitcoin era? In
the Bezzle Age?

mircea_popescu: saifedean for my own curiosity, google
that string (no quotes) see what pops up ?
saifedean: is
that when you first started on
the righteous path?
mircea_popescu: yeah, and
the reason is he's not yet met anyone
that groks it fully, so as
to answer objection properly.
saifedean: compelling, i must say, but last
time i spoke
to
taleb he wasn't all
that interested in bitcoin. i mean, he finds it interesting
to a point, but not
to
the point of healthy obsession and complete disregard of everything else
that we share
saifedean: lol, i
think i saw
this on pete's blog before...
assbot: Logged on 06-07-2014 23:40:36; mircea_popescu: "Here's me begging you Mr
Taleb!" or something
saifedean: ah, no i don't... i've been
trying
to learn
the ropes
mircea_popescu: by
the way, you know how
to use
the
tools here ? like say
jurov: "Dear Ben Lawsky, you are going after
the wrong people. Mining operations can be used
to launder huge amounts of money."
jurov: WTF "I love bitcoin for reasons
that Amir
Taaki, Adam Back, Peter
Todd and Mike Hearn love it."
rithm: ovh is like
the parody host
davout: if ebola could propagate
to servers, it'd probably start at ovh

ben_vulpes: actually i'm noping
the fuck out of
this article.
ben_vulpes: "However,
the real value of Bitcoin is not reaped at an individual level." << he's spot on,
though - it's about raping at a collective level
decimation: the whole reason bitcoin is even mildly compelling is because
those 'central bankers' who are currently 'controlling money' are fucking
things up royally
decimation: "Under
the Bitcoin model,
those who create
the algorithm, protocol, manage
the
transactional ledger and mine virtual currencies would become
the new central bankers, controlling a monetary basis, an immense power and responsibility." << lol yeah
that's a 'risk'
decimation: hoarding usd << lol. actually
there's a great deal of certainty about
the dollar, it's just
that
the certainty is
that
there is no fixed number of dollars, never has been, never will be
decimation: ben_vulpes: re: sbcl < neat link
thanks
cazalla: ooh knocked glass off
table onto open case.. lucky i drank
the water in it just a few minutes ago
BingoBoingo: Nah, I'm not drunk enough
to chess
tonight.
RetroUPriser: How's it going? I was going
to see if mircea_popescu was active and willing
to play a game of chess,
Vexual: cut a deal
to keep his shed-load off
the streets
Vexual: i read about
that gut
that printed $200 million, he hoarded it
cazalla: "If bitcoin were allowed
to co-‐exist as “legal
tender” it could also create a situation where under Gresham’s Law “Bad money drives out good”. In such a scenario, bad currency (bitcoin) would be used and good currency (US Dollar) would be hoarded, creating greater economic instability."
ben_vulpes: well pre 2015 bitcoin barely matters in
the world at large
Vexual: or perhaps you pay where you
think some other entity might lay claim
Vexual: I suppose
there are no other qualifiers on purpose
Vexual: so, I'm porndering
the notion "Bitcoin realised"
Vexual: well it's internet powered
to be sure
ben_vulpes: speak further on
thy confusion, Vexual
Vexual: I'm
trying
to get my head around
this
taxation stuff
cazalla: i mean, why spend $20-$30 on a pizza when you can get one from pizza hut on
tight ass

mircea_popescu: inasmuch as it's
the blockchain it will HAVE
To work. or bust.
ben_vulpes: i'm
trying
to estimate if
the
transfer
time for my os x blockchain is worth
the risk of it simply not working.
ben_vulpes: right,
totally on
the same page
there.
mircea_popescu: if you prefer working locally
then not worth it. if you generally use
that machine/dc,
then worth it.
mircea_popescu: well it's worth
the
time in
the sense
that not having
the 30gb in question wherever your favourite staging environment is is a major handicap.
ben_vulpes: basically i want
to know if uploading my os x 8.6 blockchain
to my debian
testing machine is worth
the
time
ben_vulpes: i'm digging
through
the logs of our conversation about copying blockchains around.
ben_vulpes: i've one sitting on
this os x machine.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you actually have
the blockchain by very far
the best way
to do
this is stage a local environment and feed
the experimental instance
through some sort of loopback
ben_vulpes: does anyone have a node with high
throughput
to which
they'd be willing
to whitelist my connections
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell peterl yeah listen,
this 50% uptime business is for
the dogs.
