mircea_popescu: lotta "i am so smart! i am so smart! sold out of btc at 36. s-m-r-t!"
mircea_popescu: (in case anyone's curious, rassah is random faggot mildly famous for having stolen his bf's cash to buy right before a jump and then proudly selling it all and buying a car. 2013 iirc.)
mircea_popescu: somehow the stealing-by-name thing is really deeply ingrained in the muppet skull by now.
mircea_popescu: in even further lulz, there apparently exists a dharvard university in indja.
mircea_popescu: !!withdraw 0.45364891 13YczpPCDAxBWQwMmNyyAASHYR4EmbwagP
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that last pic dun work for all the diff it makes
mircea_popescu: more meth she steals more effective she gets more meth she steals etc.
mircea_popescu: an autistic child you didn't kill at the age of 7 will support a whole comicbook industry until age 70 ?
mircea_popescu: "i tried stuffing all the stick and rock types i could find in all the holes that there were and even some that i made. why airplane not wash jocularstrap ???"
mircea_popescu: well, these fucktards are going around looking for chtulhu.
mircea_popescu: this has apparently become a major psychological liability for the crowd, they imagine that since everything they ever encountered was safely behind bulletproof glass, that's "just how life is".
mircea_popescu: there's a great gif with a stupid little girl confronting a lion from behind a glass pane.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, apparently taking a few heads here and there creates exactly no conception of own vulnerability in the rest of the heads.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: more like "this bitcoin is like britney, entirely built out of pennies and walmart e-cards"
mircea_popescu: hey USG - take your useless sheep and drown them all for what anyone cares. seriously now.
mircea_popescu: basically the excel-powered secret agent strategy has become "try to disrupt bitcoin by creating fud on social media". which works to... disrupt usage by the usg's own muppets, the redditards, wikitards and assoerted other dust mongers ? which is somehow bad for bitcoin, or even noticeable or something ?
mircea_popescu: satoshi made an engineering mistake, taking the assumption the wrong way
mircea_popescu: the problem is that they're not automatically diffedrent just because they could be.
mircea_popescu: though honestly, may take a while for it to become a problem.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, yes, all sorts of options available. can readily just use pastebin if it gets bad
mircea_popescu: tbh, i don't think doing it in #trilema is either unfeasible or a bad idea.
mircea_popescu: now THIS would be some interesting ecology, of the "keep the world safe for your children" kind.
mircea_popescu: human problem of meta is that humans can think outside the box. they end up choking each other with the unintentional by-products of that thinking.
mircea_popescu: (amusingly, this node-sybil-pie entirely exists BECAUSE IT CAN exist. think in GT terms : at t1 it doesn't exist. at t2, player 1 figures out it could exist, whether it can or not, and takes defensive meansures. at t3, some bug in player1's implementation is exploited (consciously or accidentally) and now... it DOES exist.)
mircea_popescu: if you keep money and man-hours into this, you'll eventually reach that vaunted summit.
mircea_popescu: you'll end up with node lists, fingerprinting, mothership identification, the whole shebang.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and EVEN IF maintaining a large (and, obviously, expensive) network of nodes etc, you can still run into surprises, as the bitbet issue very well illustrates.
mircea_popescu: typical sybilling, happens and has happened tons, which is why it's important to talk to many nodes for payment safety.
mircea_popescu: trinque one working model : all the nodes node 1 was connected to decided "it is spam", because they can do this now, so they didn't forward it but also didn't tell node 1. same did not hold for node 2.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: when we're discussiong classes we're not automatically discussing an impl. it's a data model.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nevermind the actual implementation. the design/concept however you call it.
mircea_popescu: now, that they should be used sparsely is certainly true.
mircea_popescu: trinque you won't be able to fix trb into sanity without new classes.
mircea_popescu: yes, complete with the pixelization and the fb_img etc.
mircea_popescu: pity guy left, totally got teh wrong impression re tmsr.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i tried /invite polarbeard but * polarbeard :No such nick/channel ; anyone know him irl drop a line ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 in any case don't completely abandon the trb-v castle, you're like our last guy there i fear
mircea_popescu: trinque entirely feasible but let's revisit in next year.
mircea_popescu: i am loath to put "and load this website" into the eg log bot spec.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform theoretically it also gets the zips. at least iirc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform afaik it was a scriba feature. Framedragger !!1111
