mircea_popescu: a lathing church, now that'd be something
asciilifeform: (all 50m uploaded in case anyone wants this for something, can't picture why)
assbot: No Such lAbs (S.NSA), September 2014 Statement pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
asciilifeform: i can even stuff the whole thing in a gif.
mircea_popescu: well once asciilifeform is done building his own city over there...
mats_cd03: or is that not going to be a thing.
mats_cd03: so when will there be preorders for a cardano?
mircea_popescu: i used to drink public water
kakobrekla: i have done that, even in front of public people
mircea_popescu: definitely, the format for "texts" is video x.x
jurov: <ninjashogun> we don't have to discuss that. But you have to realize that the files aren't considered private/secret, if the usage case includes signing at public computers
mircea_popescu: "But the file size is so high. Anyway to reduce the file size without compramising quality. My video file mostly contains texts " << idiot on stack exchange.
jurov: i got into PM with ninjashogun and last thing before i lost it was
mircea_popescu: if not ima just ul the 86s thing as is.
mircea_popescu: Sorry! Gfy's are 15 seconds max! This video is 86.00 seconds. Think simple, jiffy, and captivating!

[]bot: Bet placed: 3.75 BTC for Yes on "Bitcoin to drop under $300 before December" http://bitbet.us/bet/1020/ Odds: 72(Y):28(N) by coin, 54(Y):46(N) by weight. Total bet: 15.48725376 BTC. Current weight: 33,226.
mircea_popescu: you don't really calculate it, is the problem.
kakobrekla: not even the published mkt cap
mircea_popescu: let's call it... "a facultative idea" or whatever the fuck it was.
mircea_popescu: "so give me 50k and i might buy iron nails which might be worth more in the future"
mircea_popescu: contorted fucking reasoning, such as, "mp said once that the endgame for bitcoin is this. now, let's maintain that figure but pretend like mp wasn't talking about btc, but about geese. so then a goose should be 300k usd per, and since it's not, clearly iron nails are taking up some of that market"
The20YearIRCloud: So it's assumed there's a 100% adpotion rate
jurov: required for the amount of crypto currency the world has a money supply demand
jurov: no i wanted to know his calcualtion
mircea_popescu: no dude, doge is "covering some of that demand"
xanthyos: all tissues are called "kleenex." all cola is called "coke." all photocopies are called "xerox." btc WON the cryto branding game
mircea_popescu: we've sunk to the lows where kako trolls the channel. i know of no other place where the actual chan owner trolls the chan
jurov: i'm more interested in that demand caluculation
jurov: aww y'all are so demeaning to these serious altbusinesses
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, Oh, uh (wink) right. You are right that there are no other crypto currencies besides btc, I will grant this to you. It is ridiculous to assume any other crypto currency can ever come into existence.
mircea_popescu: now that we're settled on most of these topics, did you have anything meaningful to say ?
mircea_popescu: and you do not have understanding, theoretical or otherwise, on any topic, and specifically no good such understanding.
thickasthieves: and altcoin already has those sewn up
mircea_popescu: and for that matter : you're not a startup anything, especially not a founder.
The20YearIRCloud: There's 1000 other cryptos out there ninjashogun
jurov: how did you calculate the demand?
xanthyos: "Risk is our business." (James Tiberius Kirk)
ninjashogun: What I mean is that long-term, if BTC held a monopoly on crypto currency my price target would be $300K per bitcoin. (Simply because that is required for the amount of crypto currency the world has a money supply demand.) But the problem is that other crypto currencies can meet some of this demand. So, is that some of the reason for the decline? If it is, what will cause the rebound?
The20YearIRCloud: guess i don't understand how a large-ish business that takes BTC and runs into the asme cashout problems as us could operate with it
thickasthieves: then why did you take the risk
The20YearIRCloud: I just hate the equity loss being that bad
xanthyos: my psychic premonition about 360 $/btc being the absolute glass floor were not true
thickasthieves: ninjashogun, I will allow the price to start going up again tomorrow
asciilifeform favours that hypothesis, cannot speak for other people
kakobrekla: <The20YearIRCloud> we've lost something like $75k-$100k over the past year and a half due to volatility and the inability to cash out our deposits quickly < handy excuse
ninjashogun: Incidentally if it is on-topic here I am curious about the opinion of people here about 1) cause of BTC price depression 2) whether BTC price will rebound. Where will the buy pressure come from, given that there are other crypto currencies as well?
mircea_popescu: dude this guy again ?
mircea_popescu: i intend to gif-ify it to test the saffron chick's thing.
jurov: alias rg.. prolly before your time
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can i have original of that video ?
thickasthieves: well a little late to cash out probly
The20YearIRCloud: we've lost something like $75k-$100k over the past year and a half due to volatility and the inability to cash out our deposits quickly
kakobrekla: delete the wallet
The20YearIRCloud: i hate having all this BTC sitting and not being cashed out
ninjashogun: jurov, hi. I'm actually a startup founder, not a security expert per se (besides a good theoretical understanding and some practical reading same as avialable to everyone here.) Not an xorg expert!
ninjashogun: Thanks. Does someone who has gribble with the proper distance want to trust me to whatever extent is required for an up. Ascii has complained about the volume of contribution, so I will keep it down. (obvoiusly you can remove this rating if you find I'm abusive.)
jurov: so what do you think about this xorg problem?
mircea_popescu: specifically the kbd issue
jurov: just the toolkits are
mircea_popescu: course i have nfi why xorg was made so windowsy in the first place.
jurov: not that proves anything, just a concet how it works
jurov: when pinentry was active, i was unable to get kbd events into xev
asciilifeform doesn't like dedicated 'user is entering passwords' api gizmos - demarcated target.
jurov: let me try
mircea_popescu: so here's a random idea. x.org and pretty much every implementation of a gui on linux does a pisspoor job of hiding kbd from any running program. ie, you can trivially read keystrokes typed in any window from any other window. on the other hand js stuff like .which and .keycode allows a website to read the kbd pretty well.
assbot: Shaft collar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
asciilifeform: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_collar << for folks in the jungle
asciilifeform: ^ he has an adult lathe i think
jurov goes to troll reddit "S.NSA is machining stuff from gold"
asciilifeform regressed mostly to 18th c., at least temporarily
jurov: and that gold...er... brass nozzle or whatever
asciilifeform can always take more
asciilifeform: shot the pics wad here
asciilifeform: i haven't, surprisingly, received any hate mail re: the lameness; must assume it's going to mircea_popescu's dev/null
jurov: heh turd
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this month's turd is mailed.

jurov: yes, that's another thing, if they come to suspect OC
thickasthieves: i dont do insurance, but maybe there are aspects that can be your fault
thickasthieves: and theyre like uh no fuck this
jurov: they are trolls. i fully expect, if my washmachine causes a flood, them to ask if it has a microcontroller
jurov: how would that help against trolls?
thickasthieves: probly just avoiding trolls
thickasthieves: i dont think most markets factor in fees so efficiently
thickasthieves: i was thinking not very hard about whether the fact that it costs 5% to get money into btce is actually a sound reason for BTCUSD to be 5% cheaper there
thickasthieves: i didnt see the 300 bet
mircea_popescu: this is the fucking competition lmao. free modelling for art!!1
mircea_popescu: A cambio puedo ofrecerte copia de las fotos para tu propio book. Si estas interesada enviame un mail con una foto tuya a color y mail o telefono para contactarme.
mircea_popescu: Mujeres jovenes. Cualquier tipo de cabello, color de piel y ojos. Con ganas de modelar para fotos artisticas cuidadas.
mircea_popescu: lol i thought it crossed.

kakobrekla: so thickasthieves did you start pasting the 300 bet around yet?
mod6: well, it reconnected in #altcoin, i should merge that change.
mircea_popescu: and then you bought 30k's worth and it was back to 1200 ?
GodHatesFigs: $6; $335 - it's all the same :)
mod6: i had a dream last night that it went down to $6 again, and i tried to back up a truck
