mircea_popescu:
as a rule of thumb, i would say it's a great idea that if one's using a bouncer, that one sets the bouncer up so if it fails three times in five minutes it stops trying and shoots the owner an email or something. join/part spam is definitely annoying in all channels, even if most won't do anything about it.
mircea_popescu: there's a whole discussion of the statement of these views
as put forward by franco's republic a week or two ago in the logs.
gribble: CAUTION: irc nick differs from otc registered nick. Nick 'adrrr_', with hostmask 'adrrr_!~adrrr@ip-132.net-81-220-142.rev.numericable.fr', is identified
as user 'adrrr', with GPG key id DDE46066D54B5198, key fingerprint 0F56A8FD02C59E657AB3C3DDDDE46066D54B5198, and bitcoin address None
mod6: oh, ok. in that case, I'll probably just leave it
as is. unless its like, weeks or something.
ThickAsThieves: “I promise you even before this speech is over I’ll be attacked
as a hater or a bigot or someone who is anti-gay,” Rubio said. “This intolerance in the name of tolerance is hypocrisy. Support for the definition of marriage
as one man and one woman is not anti-gay, it is pro-traditional marriage.”
fluffypony: "It's a shame because you make great points, but you express them in a manner that is all over the place bordering on incoherent. Not to mention, you unintentionally come off
as a bully calling people fascists, etc, and criticizing people in such vitriolic ways just because their views don't match your own perfectly. To be honest, I agree with you, but I can't imagine you're doing anything but preaching to your own choir by expressing your
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: it reported
as up when I visited it, hate the game not the player
fats_cd03:
as long
as you evaluate risk properly, everything's gravy.
bitcoinpete: "Mr. Schneiderman, the state’s top law enforcer, contended that Barclays favored high-frequency traders over other investors in its dark pool, known
as Barclays LX. He contended Barclays falsified marketing materials, inaccurately portraying the concentration of high-frequency traders in the market, and he said the bank misrepresented a service that purported to protect investors from predatory trading behavior."
kakobrekla: <Pierre_Rochard> bitcoinpete: or borrow the money to buy the car and use the cash to buy btc << I like this form of indirect leverage. Who else would finance bitcoins < 5% APR (0% if you get a good deal)? <
as i was saying, if you are in position where you need to borrow to gamble/invest in btc, you should not do it.
ThickAsThieves: i mean, somewhere in all this bitcoining you buy stuff, and some of that stuff aint cheap
as possible
chetty: mike_c: Rassah:Mainly because taking to someone on IRC does't give you nearly
as much information
as talking to them IRL, over beers, while watching their nonverbal cues and cmmunication << uh, does this guy know hom scamming works?//meeting pirate in person helped so many people figure that one out
mike_c: Rassah:Mainly because taking to someone on IRC does't give you nearly
as much information
as talking to them IRL, over beers, while watching their nonverbal cues and cmmunication << uh, does this guy know hom scamming works?
cazalla: you may
as well write a list of who isn't jewish, it'll be shorter
Pierre_Rochard: BigBitz: Ok, in the future I will qualify it
as “huh. Not seeing any news that could be having a secondary effect because while the price doesn’t revolve around the news, this could be one of the rare news-driven price shifts”. That way there won’t be any confusion.
ThickAsThieves: <+Rassah> Also,
as is most important in any crptocurrency (even moreso than its "features") Etherium has a team of good developers with a specific goals, who want to work to develop it no matter the price. /// til they get bored
trixisowned: when in reality they just added their address to the list of miners, and take a percentage of each block
as if they were actually hashing
benkay: <BingoBoingo> mike_c: Situation has been remedied. Key in question was not sold so much
as held by each of us in trust of a higher powah. // this is the highest endorsement of the wot i've yet seen
Rassah: Mainly because taking to someone on IRC does't give you nearly
as much information

mircea_popescu: perhaps you'd be well served by reading the discussion on the topic. the wot dun work
as you may imagine it do\es.
Rassah: and it's just
as reliable (see pirate@40) whereby some people can be nice and known and trusted, and turn out to be total douchebags
mircea_popescu: think of it
as "not being in the communist party" in moscow cca 1952.
Rassah: mircea_popescu: Most people I know are not in the wot. Sorry, but there is a whole separate "wot" out there that's not quite
as... digital...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know making a hit is not
as trivial
as it sounds.
Duffer1: dub it's
as far
as i was willing to go, not about to rebraid each wire lol
Rassah: By the way, does anyone have a better (lolsier) reason for why bitcoin will never work than "Bitcoin is deflationary, and will keep going up in price
as people hoard it, until it becomes wortless?"
BingoBoingo: HANDSofSTEEL: Yeah, the log are here and
as kakobrekla Has blessed you with, search
Rassah: Look at NMC
as a fluctuating cost at a domain registry, not
as an alt coin.
Rassah: I don't keep NMC
as mone, stre of value, or a transaction mechanism. I keep it
as "a cost to register and renew a domain name"
Rassah: decimation: K... Point is, regardless of what ether is ultimately worth, if they do come up with a system that's
as usable
as they hope it will be, you could think of ether is jet fuel needed to run it. It won't be money, and, privately, the ether guys don't seem to want etherium to be money either. Just coins you plunk into the system to keep it rnning
BingoBoingo: Namecoin is jet fuel sort of great, splendid utility, but externalities neuter it
as a value.
Rassah: My rule #1 for investing is invest in the team, not the idea. Awesome idea with morons behind it will go nowhere. For Altcoins, an awesome idea with a single developer behind it will crash and busn
as soon
as that developer gets bored and goes to do something else
Rassah: Also,
as is most important in any crptocurrency (even moreso than its "features") Etherium has a team of good developers with a specific goals, who want to work to develop it no matter the price. Doge (and arguably most others, possibly incluing Litecoin) does not.
Rassah: Hah! Bitcoin Pete's article: "Vitalik Buterin, he of "autism is the same
as intelligence" fame"
BingoBoingo: Chicken is old hand but carp is a new one for me. I might have suspected catfish
as a stereotype, because like fried chicken everyone loves fried catfish. Carp though have so many pin bones in their filets. Honestly I find Gar a better use of my fishing time than carp.
BingoBoingo: decimation: Well, these are hard problems to pin down in the way that some people advance certain species of carp
as invasive, when here they are all invasive.
pigeons: yes of course. by might
as well get the ether there too
BingoBoingo: Though some amount of ether may be useful
as a solvent... TO acieve other things...
BingoBoingo: pigeons:
As a teen there were closer places to take girls to "watch the nothing"
pigeons:
as a kid you didnt go run around them back when it was possible?
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Situation has been remedied. Key in question was not sold so much
as held by each of us in trust of a higher powah.
mike_c: harder to apply to others
as gas
BingoBoingo: pigeons: Wait, you're inhaling it? I was just going to use it
as a solvent to clean some stuff...
BigBitz: mircea_popescu one day... just one day... I hope to be 5%
as rich
as you.
CheapBoy: What guarantee do the people buying presale ehereum get
as of now?
mircea_popescu:
as the old saying goes, a man deserves the life he choses.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i got a lulz out of their scummy apology/explanation
as to how they sold the domain to bfl.
mircea_popescu:
As far
as my observations go, I think there are many idealists, but they are a bit complicit in that these fuckers aren't shouted down or ejected because they are "of the community"."
mircea_popescu: anyway, the person i'm repackaging is christos ballas, which kind-of informs
as to the depth of intelligence the core of us libertards has at its disposal : they can dig
as deep
as about the past coupla months, and that's that.
mircea_popescu: benkay: i don't. it's a phenomenal waste of human capital. << there is no such thing
as "waste" of human capital any more han there's waste of carbon. it's an element, whatever it gets used for is just fine.
mircea_popescu: i guess in a sense this is just the unavoidable effect of their irrelevant impotence. "if you can't do something useful anyway, might
as well make a buck doing something pointless"
mircea_popescu: they get older
as fucktards chase the mba train of spam.
mircea_popescu: we will definitely have a showdown over all this crap one of these days. and
as to why james gibson & his merry scammer friends are stil on the street.
pigeons: lost of other stuff will change when they get around to making it up
as well
mircea_popescu: after 8 years of "we can do it" and "change nao" i doubt you can find any broad group that's of the oppinion things can continue
as they are.
mircea_popescu: now it's quite clear they';re recycling some borrowed btc
as "investments".
mircea_popescu: course no institutionals would have bought any anyway, but
as a point of principle.
BingoBoingo: benkay> <mircea_popescu> <pankkake> well, he has the private key, but I have it too. not smart :p << omg BingoBoingo WHAT HAVE YOU DUN NAO // yeah, i'm also curious
as to what's going on here << OMG Opsec fail
assbot: [RFC] thereum: a turing-complete coin distributed
as per bitcoin's blockchain
benkay: "
As of yet, no work has been done on adding support for blockchain domains to ONS and the ONS command line tools."
benkay: danielpbarron: the little reading i've done suggests that it's not a namecoin killer,
as that'd require...studying existing solutions and then doing it better. i've yet to find much support fot eh notion that the folks involved have done any research at all yet.
bitcoinpete: well i know that this is hirarious: "Big Trend Capital Investment (HASH): We are engaged
as a distributor of mining products and a novel mining service. We primarily service retail customers through storefronts such
as Amazon, EBay, and our own eStore at BuyAHash.com."
danielpbarron: it figures it out based on your movements
as you sleep
benkay: .co works
as well for me iirc
pankkake: I think that's incorrect too. it allows you to get a better price if you're long, or MAYBE short it
as long
as you think it's won't go
as low
as 2.5x less
benkay: <mircea_popescu> <pankkake> well, he has the private key, but I have it too. not smart :p << omg BingoBoingo WHAT HAVE YOU DUN NAO // yeah, i'm also curious
as to what's going on here
Pierre_Rochard: chetty: it is, I’ve been reading through
as much
as I can to see which articles are especially crypto/econ/bitcoin centered like GPG Contracts (and obvs to learn & think)
mircea_popescu: "Dear lord this is absolutely fucking grade-A insane. I had to read that first paragraph 4 times just because I just couldn't believe somebody would ever intentionally write something so convoluted. And it doesn't improve
as the paper continues. In all seriousness, this reads almost exactly like the deranged manifestos that are left behind by school shooters, that is the vibe I get from whatever the fuck you want to ca
mircea_popescu: translation : "that asshole mp is putting pressure on our liquidity providers (what, you didn't think we OWNED the btc we're presenting
as having been invested by third parties ?!) and so we won't be able to keep the charade up without recirculating some capital. sorry!"
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Ah, I see the time set declined in value
as well due to competitive alternatives existing nao
benkay: kuzetsa: uses gribbles db, actually. if you've got a +1 from someone in assbot's wot, you can self-up
as you've discovered.
nubbins`: asciilifeform please join steve and kristy
as they ritually disembowel themselves! transportation to and from event provided
dub: funnily some time in teh 90's
as I recall they started not taking it out and advertising
as iodized
BingoBoingo: About
as close
as Bio gets to having a level 0 standard
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But device cost is low and every similar device must be treated
as a turd anyways
kuzetsa: I guess assbot shares the same database
as gribble, neat
Rassah: I think "our monkey brains" are largely influenced by societal norms, and bitcoin will "hack" some of those norms just
as other technologies and science discoveries have...
decimation: plus no drool because it acts
as a valve
mircea_popescu: "If this ASIC mambo jumbo goes forward then I think BTC is
as "good"
as PayPal or the Bank of England." (forum communitard, 2012).
justusranvier: They might have value
as collector's items 30 years from now.
midnightmagic: i didn't know until afterwards that the water was contaminated. they sell it
as a health spa.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: lol no, but its extraction is hugely labour-intensive.. same
as lots of things in our world that have disappeared because nobody's willing or able to go to the effort anymore
