ThickAsThieves: i just got a prius as a hand-me-down
Rassah: at $22, thinking "bubble." I was wrong on that, but my car had 250,000+ miles on it and was almost dead, so *shrug*. I have never sold out any of my other coins. As far as anyone knows, I have lost them all in a boating accident, or when I accidentally dropped my USB stick into an airplane toilet and flushed it out over the Atlantic
Rassah: Keep in mind, this thing, before it's laminated, is as thin as a piece of paper. Battery included. (and all flexible, including the display). Not much room or power for bluetoth
Rassah: Bitcoincard started as a mesh network based idea for a text messaging device. Then the gy who was developing it found out that it's perfect for a bitcoin wallet, ad switched directions, forming Mycelium
Rassah: I'm assuming that cryptocurrency that exists on Mastercin is transfered with private key signatures, and is permanent and complete upon transfer, same as every other cryptocurrency. No chargebacks
Rassah: Although I support Realcoin, that statement is a bit... reduntant? Useless? Price moves for or against relative to something else, so instead of using Realcoin, you can just as easily use that something else...
mircea_popescu: c) their publishers include luminaries such as "fair ponzi"
mircea_popescu: as if that fucking makes any difference.
danielpbarron: they must have the same policy as iran
mircea_popescu: it also has some disadvantages, such as a loss of control, or association with another party or whatever.
mircea_popescu: Scoring : you get to know how good you're doing, as a manger.
peterl: benkay: so there's the answer i'm looking for - liquidity for the owners. << as I said, they want their hookers and blow now
decimation: "According to Volack, most of the stray and wild cats in the city are usually spotted in backyards, and she sometimes gets resistance when she tries to trap the cats. "I've been trying my hardest to capture the strays and feral cats and kittens, but I have just as many people who don't want me to trap them as those who do.""
mike_c: i think of it more as a playground.
peterl: so it is acting as a casino?
benkay: when does it make sense to do a public offering? as in - why would i ever do that?
mircea_popescu: ahahahaah okcupid blog links their competitor as sausageparty.com
Azelphur: nope, 145 users within 25 miles as me, 69 of them answered the question, 28 of them got it right
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=plonker | the term plonker started out as a reference to someone who was forever drunk on cheap wine (cheap wine is nicknamed plonk) this person was usualy a ...
Azelphur: such as religious people have lower literacy levels
Azelphur: and as the site allows you to see peoples answers to questions, I can just do db queries and filter all those people out xD
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: okc asks basic intelligence questions, such as "STALE is to STEAL as 89475 is to...?"
mircea_popescu: PantyHotOffThePr so the question to you was, do you want to pursue camwhoring as a career ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as i recall, they've already been eaten.
asciilifeform: though the whole thing strikes me as quite like fishing with dynamite - where does the sport remain in the hunt ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: accuracy. as pictured in the linked review.
Xplosionist: asciilifeform: I think I'll just refer to you as alf. Easier, and funny.
nubbins`: we're gonna leave junk mail on their table, might as well make it something they'll wanna hang on their wall
mircea_popescu: PantyHotOffThePr well, so do you want to pursue camwhoring as a career ?
PantyHotOffThePr: Yeah, I've been thinking so as well
Xplosionist: 4:04 <freenode> NickServYou are already logged in as Xplosionist.
PantyHotOffThePr: 2 different retail jobs, and selling some diy things in my local community as it comes up
mircea_popescu: PantyHotOffThePr as in for a living.
PantyHotOffThePr: As in everyday activities, or in relation to tits? :P Just testin' the waters, felt like being a lil adventurous so I created that reddit account.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: parody article << 'rather than dayjobs you talk about people needing to be “hungry and desperate” and stuff like that connotes to me this very strong emotional' << as if this had to go from emotion. 'people need to be hungry and desperate' is as much a technical statement as 'million volt bus bars must be spaced at least one metre apart.'
mircea_popescu: can be something as simple as a "Here's what Bitcoin is" leaflet left in the units.
PantyHotOffThePr: I'm guessing now's a good a time as any though huh? If you don't mind me asking, why start this up?
PantyHotOffThePr: Well that would be me as well, I just figured I'd eyeball a bit first. Seemed there was a discussion going on and I didn't want to be the asshole that just jumps in like "Yo, tit pic sale?"
the20year: Several guys going around generating bad press on us and havelock as a whole
RetroUpriser: Danielpbarron said he was chatting over here, figured i'd stop by. Its from a website i used to frquent as a kid
danielpbarron: it's a pretty annoying community that plays; the only reason I played for as long as I did was because the economy was pretty fun
mircea_popescu: As the number of KoL players increases, so does the cost of hosting. I very much want to keep the game free, so please consider supporting the development and maintenance of the Kingdom
danielpbarron wouldn't know as he avoided most of the actual events
rithm: i never liked it or watched it as a kid
mircea_popescu: goes about as well as you'd expect the National Waiters' Poetry Club to go.
asciilifeform: (many of the maladies suffered by meth addicts - not only psychosis, but physiological - are also found in people who, for one reason or another - such as being under fire - cannot sleep)
BingoBoingo: Well, with methamphetamine levo-dexo rotary becomes a concern as well. l-methamphetamine is a rather safe decongestant. D-methamphetamine though... is the one that makes the news
mircea_popescu: unless one's performing as a meth head, i guess.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c here's an idea : 1) if the bomb total pool goes over 1 btc, the first five digits past the decimal are used as a bomb location; and 2) if the bomb pool is over 5% of the total shares pool, the bomb is guaranteed to be big.
Duffer1: ya i take my shit seriously, which is why i'm surprised they got as far as they did
gribble: Nick 'Duffer1', with hostmask 'Duffer1!~Duffer1@c-98-232-231-188.hsd1.or.comcast.net', is identified as user 'Duffer1', with GPG key id D5B0A00741A54A60, key fingerprint 68D283ADB0688306D98C5BE0D5B0A00741A54A60, and bitcoin address 1MHKhfiC7AgZdErt9b8xkXbcKoWSxPjJgG
Duffer1: no i know, i've just never been compromised like this before, they didn't get anything, but still that's scary as fuck
mthreat: I want to put this as the background of a good song remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yYrYCE4i1c&feature=share
mthreat: 2fa lasts 30 seconds; if someone were watching live, they could use it as you type it. <-- ultra paranoid
mike_c: it's hard to have a "your bets" thing, because it's all on the blockchain. but i could let you mark arbitrary bets as yours and then track those.
mircea_popescu: "- Tumblr user kirbeh described hotel mints being given away at a panel as competition prizes."
benkay: <syntheticsky> as as I can't stay online
mircea_popescu: wait, the humourless fuck that made a cartoon in which some guy holding a guy fawkes mask is told by the mask, prophetically!11 "you are not as anon as you tihnk" complains that he doesn't understand why people deface his crap ?!
cazalla: odd jew as well
fluffypony: if you refresh the page does it show up as paid?
kakobrekla: as long as i can hammer nails with it.
mircea_popescu: well, more than one actually as it turns out
mircea_popescu: so it's one of those things old geezers tell you about, as their life turning point, over a game of checkers in central park. no, it wasn't : even if the thing they woe about would have worked their way
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell punkman: mike_c would be nice if WoL could track bets on GoWs, since I already have an account for the minigame << actually, it'd be prolly good to have a YOU: summary on either side of GoW as long as the person is actually logged in. in case they bought multiple bids etc.
asciilifeform: artifexd: perform on each core to 25 operations in a single clock cycle << you can make a 'pipeline' as long as you like. it ends up mostly full of NOPs.
hanbot: ;;later tell mike_c hey "There is an infinitesimal chance none of the numbers will be < 1,000,000. In this case the last group (bits 12 - 31) are used to find the location as follows:" would it not be better to just re-hash the hash and try again? and if it fails again, hash it again. infinitesimal is infinitesimal, but why even bother. ☟︎
kyuupichan: Sure, but I'm underweight fiat; would rather not spend it as not much left :)
kyuupichan: Coordinating them and their payment processor (coinbase) was a PITA, particularly as I don't live in US so it was international phone calls. I'm not a fan of coinbase but to be honest they seemed to fix it, and they were the most helpful.
cazalla: just seems a hassle, as you described
kyuupichan: cazalla: Maldives; mentioned it a while ago. Not exactly cheap, as I discovered.
mircea_popescu: decimation 50% are in cc hell. of the remainder, 30% are in middle class hell (they have some money, locked away in iras, college funds, ss payments etc - all of which is as good as gone but nobody's telling them).
decimation: I suspect the "wealthy" half has most of their assets locked away in retirement plans, and most of those plans don't allow you to "invest" as you choose
decimation: anyone who has ever been near the DACH zone knows that germans are rich as fuck
mircea_popescu: the latter all started as in "here's my bright idea i came up with"
mircea_popescu: the former all started as in "you guise desperately need and ask for this, here it is"
mircea_popescu: BayAreaCoins if you take the time to read this chan, which you should in any case, you'll discover all the respected/successful projects have the same thing in common, as all the mocked/despised "entrepreneurs" in their own characterisation have something else in common.
BayAreaCoins: mike_c Medium rare and yummy as always :P
BayAreaCoins: I have to be frank with you... this is more for people who are looking to get hit by some government entity such as PDR. I do keep my paper wallets in banks between California and Arkansas. However, I'm lucky enough to not have to have that worry/fear of my government because I don't involve myself with a number of business that one can choose to be involved in around BTC
asciilifeform: in scenario 'b', there is a 'private key' just as in 'a'
asciilifeform guilty as charged
mircea_popescu: you're acting as if security is some sort of novel thing. it's not. security is actually older than computers,
BayAreaCoins: Obviously there is a decent demand for offshore banking, but I don't know a single one that I can set up within 10minutes from the comfort of my house and have it funded as well. Sure you can afford the flight, but you'll get laughed out of the bank.
BayAreaCoins: mircea_popescu I've already contacted a few firms and they of course want to be involved for the same reason as any other law firms wants to be involved with anything.. Money. I think that group B would want to privately be involved with group A because it is better than having some FEDs come grab your lap top while you are reading in the Sci-Fi section
BayAreaCoins: Do you not see that in Europe as much?
BayAreaCoins: Maybe there is something already like that that I am unaware of as well though
BayAreaCoins: I'm not 100% sure, but I'm going to go a head and pass that question along as well because I'd be interest in the response. Shits n giggles ya know
mircea_popescu: tempting as hell.
BayAreaCoins: What are you guys investing in BTC wise as of late? Losing JD has me a bit lost on the BTC investment side. Although, I'm balls deep in a alt I think has a good chance.
thestringpuller: you might as well just buy an amazon gift card off of GYFT
mircea_popescu: as good as can be expected i guess.
mircea_popescu: try punching as hard as you can in the air, see what happens.
mircea_popescu: i can only tweet @whatever for as long as he doesn't kill anyone.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just as long as it's "obama was killed"
mircea_popescu: as long as you keep most of the board cool, mostfets can't make enough heat to cook themselves.
artifexd: Ugly as hell, but it seemed to work for him.
artifexd: My ears aren't near as sensitive as yours so I'm good with a few slow moving fans on the radiator.
mircea_popescu: but they work on the same principle as the barb does.
fluffypony: "Not only does the Bitcoin Foundation suddenly make you seem reputable they will help you with this. They’ll post blogs about you joining, even sending out the “brass” to shill blogs such as CoinDesk to push you joining to others and making you seem further legit."
mircea_popescu: ok but as to delivery.
mircea_popescu: you know they'll make you dine as a citizenship test ?
