BingoBoingo: social engineering as a service https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=728836.new#new
cazalla: i imagine it's more about the betting than the game nowadays, they've had sports bet owners masquerading as commentators in the past, i wouldn't even let my kid watch it if he was old enough to do so
cazalla: BingoBoingo, have not watched league since i was a kid, it's not as popular as it once was
mircea_popescu: they got worthless money in infinite supply. as long as they follow the crowd they get to keep the shirts.
mircea_popescu: it's the dubious blessing of being raised in a system, that with the safety this entails for as long as the system survives comes intermingled the complete cluelessness and inability to survive.
mircea_popescu: and then unwind any asset-protective trade as "without consideration"
decimation: lol from your 'bitcoin lawyer' link: "Practically, there is no public record of Bitcoin purchases. Bitcoin wallets are similarly anonymous as Bitcoin balances and transactions are identified only by a digital code with no link to person or place."
BigBitz: He can juggle as well...
BigBitz: twice would have made me as rich \o/

BingoBoingo: This thing with steam is you can sandbox it somewhere, as opposed to iOS
mircea_popescu: maybe i'm not quite as radical as pankkake about it, but i defo don't like em.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, really find that way stupid as well; wasn't very excited about steam coming to linux in the first place, but maybe someday SteamOS consoles will be popular, like OUYA was somewhat expected, but until then, steam is an extra layer, just to get more ads and see a ton of "your friend is not playing dota2"
BigBitz: Yeah I saw that as well...
pete_dushenski: AndreasMAntonopoulos @aantonop "I’ve been asked to appear as a witness to present information and Q&A at a Canadian Senate hearing on Bitcoin. Should I say yes or not?"
BingoBoingo: Well, PGP as a browser plugin seems horrid.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: and just as i was setting up a new @yahoo email account ;)

thickasthieves: if mp issued his offer as a coupon it may have worked
thickasthieves: <+mircea_popescu> https://dribbble.com/hemant_gupta99 prolly not this guy, but... dribble ?! /// you might have some respect for dribbble.com, I forget the whole story by now, but it was started by an elitist graphic designer as an invite-only community meant to prioritize quality. Sorta like a WoTty deviant art. I havent followed it for years tho...
DreadKnight: hushmail was only used to go along with "hush QQ" part (as in "stop crying from so much buthurt" type of thing)

BingoBoingo: Yeah, So the solution requesting money kickstarter style with... Ads as compensation... but no adult ads please (paraphrasing their crowdfunding page)
mircea_popescu: "The fund which received regulator approval from the Isle of Jersey back in back in July and was set to launch this month has joined The Bitcoin Foundation as a Silver Member."
mircea_popescu: maybe not quite as stable yet as all that.
mircea_popescu: i imagine about as much as i do for mpif
mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned, when the luminaries of the previous generation are careful to avoid playing you, more recognition is not really needed. it'll come, of course, but it's moot.
TheNewDeal: no doubt. I think it's a great bet, and a somewhat ballsy one as well
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: ;;google senior executive service pay << these folk get options. whole different story, as bubbles happen 3-5 times in a lifetime.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: in that picture you said you could tell who was wifed, as they weren't displaying lordosis

lobbes: <mircea_popescu> there should be a new constitutional amendment. "no one may run for elected office, be it presidential, as member of congress or senate or any other, who can not recite the entirety of all laws, regulations etc" << Does that include all migratory bird treaties?
mircea_popescu: there should be a new constitutional amendment. "no one may run for elected office, be it presidential, as member of congress or senate or any other, who can not recite the entirety of all laws, regulations etc"

fluffypony: near as I can ascertain
mircea_popescu: he has lots of resources as long as he uses them a certain way
BigBitz: and he did some last year as well.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: z's 'resources' mainly consist of his seat at the fuhrer's table (as propaganda minister)
asciilifeform: they'll survive - or not - as the same thing microshit is - u.s. department of search engine.
mircea_popescu: it'll be the lulz of all time if 20 years from now google survives as this grim, unwelcoming steward of usenet archive.

pete_dushenski: and mr. ben_vulpes, as a student of power, you should enjoy this most recent blog post
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski tsar (who ruled by divine right) govt (which HAD the authority to exist as a merely regulatory body) made a leninlicense.
mircea_popescu: just as well one could argue they don't have the means.

BigBitz: Their point is around the inability to confirm the data as HOLD won't share/release it.
BingoBoingo: Dr. K had a problem. How to put his writing in front of as many people as possible. Maybe the reign of terror was more a tool to that end than the writing a tool to jsutify the terror.
cazalla: although none sustained a reign of terror for as long as ted did
BingoBoingo: cazalla: You have to remember that pre-Internet trolling wasn't as viable outlet for dissent as it is now.
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Or as you may refer to him Dr. Kaczynski
thickasthieves: i dont think bitpay cares about TBF beyond it's ability to serve as a tool to its own ends

mircea_popescu: what are the odds that someone cracked a good joke/compliment jsut as the flash went off ?
decimation: after all, as I recall the ANC would necklace anyone who got "overly aggressive" in cooperating with whitey
mircea_popescu: fluffypony the concept boggles me. "overly" aggresive ? as in what, there's an appropriate level of aggresive ?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony you know that strikes me as a very charitable read.
fluffypony: they have "struggle credentials" still going for them (as in they fought Apartheid)
RebeccaBitcoin: You think South Africa is getting better as a whole?
decimation: this will only make bitcoin look better of course, as each government reduces its fiat to another altcoin (premined of course)
decimation: as this blog points out, the real reason they are doing this is to bar another escape hatch from the bezzle economy
RebeccaBitcoin: Before this conversation got out of hand, i was mainly referring to the ability of this site to generate a random wallet. I've read before that mouse entropy is crap. While there are 2892383289 ^298289 possible private keys for Bitcoin, a wallet like this might be much more limited. As such, a system like this might only be capable of generating a

RebeccaBitcoin: 1) Is mouse movement, as used in rushwallet.com safe?
asciilifeform: RebeccaBitcoin: seems like two separate questions in your original question. 1) mouse movement as method of generating key and 2) particular web-based gizmo for doing so
decimation: which is basically as good as moving your mouse around
peterl: does having a python script generate a bunch of random dice rolls count as rolling dice?
fluffypony: as in: "omg, Ben's so random, lol"
fluffypony: as ben_vulpes points out there are other issues
RebeccaBitcoin: as a method of generating entropy or whatever
assbot: 'Batman v. Superman' Moved Up More Than a Month as Warner Bros. Plots Their Superhero Schedule to 2020 | I Watch Stuff
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo surprised loper lacks adbox considering it competes with trilema as most read << wait wat. what'd be the point
fluffypony: "My expectation: Just like any dot-com era VC funding scam. They have created impossible expectations in the mindes of the money people who will end up controlling them. They will run in different directions at once, chasing blue sky, have a series of management changes, blow a lot of money on tiki bars and conference splashes. The layoffs will start about the same time as the death march starts. Goals will be scaled down ad hoc to things
