asciilifeform: what are these people, retarded << not exactly. this crud is at least as old as 'poenitentiam agite.'
mircea_popescu: such as i dunno, bikinis. and lampshades.
benkay: but i guess the shit's too expensive for the students, as there's not a school-aged soul in the place during work hours
Namworld: Well it might be potentially illegal in Canada to operate. But it's not illegal in all jurisdiction and as far as I know, foreign investment is not forbidden.
davout: or maybe just send him a drawing of a spider as payment :3
Namworld: @justusranvier Yes about exchange rate, apparently so. I've told the guy he didn't make sense. I'm not the one owning him and if he wanted to extort someone, there's better targets that are just as public.
justusranvier: As the exchange rate of Bitcoin increases, so will the incentive of those who are inclined to use extortion, kidnapping, ransom, lawsuits, etc in order to obtain it.
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: I'm leaning to suspect that as well. That the reason he isn't talking price yet is he doesn't want to appear to have overpayed
ninjashogun: this is as it should be.
ninjashogun: by "as well - I'll speak to him" I mean that I will appreciate the intro, I'm happy to speak with him.
ninjashogun: jurov, I recommend a double opt-in system, where you ask Usagi if he would like an intro to a founder, and if he does want one (as well - I'll speak to him) you can introduce us.
ninjashogun: Hi, Mats_cd03 and I have talked as well, but not on skype or anything. At the time i think I was just focusing on the newer business with you Mats, you would recall that I was talking in terms of a loan I think.
ninjashogun: This channel is the most trollish I've ever seen. Anyone is welcome to participate in my funding round on -otc though, as long as they want to connect with me in real life (I don't deal with pseudonymns)
asciilifeform: as exemplified by the iconic russian iPnohe.
mircea_popescu: Some of us are trying to use ‘grow some ovaries’ as a female-friendly equivalent to ‘grow some balls,’
benkay: what was the rationale, mircea_popescu - that since it was a purchase with a 1-year buyback agreement you could book it as opex instead of capex?
danielpbarron: we were the only two people there that were already in -assets as far as i could tell
GinAddict1: also, does anyone know fdroid and do you like it as an alternative to the play store?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves they're protecting themselves as best they can.
ThickAsThieves: Mike has agreed to release the platform as open source before the end of August. He will be awarded $40,000 on completion. After the platform is live, I will put an additional $50,000 towards the first core dev crowdfunding project that gets made on it. This should help them become independent the moment it gets released, and hopefully will start streamlining Bitcoin core development
mircea_popescu: and when i say fake, i include things such as, every year it gets easier and easier to amass headcunt, provided you promise you'll never charge a cent.

gribble: mircea_popescu was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 days, 1 hour, 5 minutes, and 27 seconds ago: <mircea_popescu> as a bare minimum
BingoBoingo: pankkake: LTC was only ever good as a hedge against an incredibly unlikely threat to BTC, and as a way for people who don't game to justify owning gaming hardware.
BingoBoingo: punkman: Yahoo might as well
BingoBoingo: As kind of a hedge against an SHA-2 apocalypse.
BingoBoingo: "An Amish friend unconnected to the Florida Thing once said to me, “You think your life is complicated and ours is simple, but it’s the opposite. You just take everything as it comes. We’re constantly having to figure out what to do with new things.” As an Amish man told Donald Kraybill, “The Amish survived persecution in Europe, but I’m not sure they’ll be able to survive prosperity.”"
BingoBoingo: Namworld: Oh, just setting up a machine as a node. Downloaded the blockchain by torrent in about an hour. It's on hour six of importing the blackchain into Bitcoind and still has the better part of 2013 to get through.
benkay: that's kinda irritating, as tab-completes look backwards to the last space.
asciilifeform: i pondered for ages, why herr sp4mz0r wants the 30. (as if he couldn't ask his handler for 300.) but then thought: if some dope ponies up, and 'partners' with him, he can headcrab onto the operation and do his thing.
pankkake: oh it's the same guy as 100th?
fluffypony: you have to auth once and then it's listed as your BTC addy, afaik?
pankkake: perhaps I should add it to gribble, though I don't want it as an authentification mechanism
mp_a_colonia: neither works tho. inasmuch as you accept a right, you accept implicitly that someone was in a position to grant it.
fluffypony: I must say, Risto is really a nice guy, and the whole thing was a lot less batshit insane than expected. I think he has very little self-confidence, and makes up for it by being flashy and trying to be as ostentatious as possible, but he's a fairly clever trader and pretty harmless, all things considered.
mp_a_colonia: so i think they're tearing down this building as we speak.
bitcoinpete: this lends stability as much as anything

jonvaage: What's the phrase? Sometimes a person's sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.
asciilifeform: breeding - as in actual breeding of organisms who feel they live in vain if they aren't milked. as we did to, e.g. cows.
asciilifeform: (as described in orlov's classic - http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2009/03/welcome-to-fuffland.html)
jonvaage: BingoBoingo: Exactly, they just serve as highly effective educators by reducing information asymmetry.
asciilifeform: 'If of ten men, nine are recognizable as fools, which is a common calculation,' says our Intermittent Friend, 'how in the name of wonder will you ever get a ballotbox to grind you out a wisdom from the votes of these ten men? Never by any conceivable ballotbox, nor by all the machinery in Bromwicham or out of it, it will you attain such a result. Not by any method under Heaven, except by suppressing, and in some
BingoBoingo: If flourocarbon fishing line had been discountinued I would seek it aggressively as well.
BingoBoingo: Of course, but aesthetics can justify a lot of things. Atomic clocks aren't that expensive, but not wrist portable. Quartz an dmechanical movements alike have become sweat shop products. The tuning fork electromechanical stuff though has to be sought out as it lost
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: My desire for tuning for watch is timekeeping purposes and aesthetics. It is a technology that should have continued instead of fading as it did.

cazalla: but i played soccer as a kid not to mention the fact australia only returned to the cup since 06 so the past 3 have been enjoyable
benkay: it's almost as though you're american
xmj: cgcardona: the problem with the US government setting the gold price that at first, having gold priced way over market rates, that created a huge inflow as everyone scrambled to sell gold to the USG at inflated prices
benkay: it's a shame, as they spent 10k on just upgrading this shitstack to django 1.not-quite-current
rithm: i mean if you won you might as well pump it to the price you paid amirite
cgcardona: Figured this would be as good a place as any to get some insight into the unfolding of the auction
punkman: yeah but let's say death stays at %70 for the rest of the game. Someoney buying 1k ATC at year 950 gets the same amount as the guy that bought on year 437. Shouldn't the earlier guy win more?
mike_c: in any case, point is that there is a shifting balance that rewards paying attention at multiple points through the game as opposed to rewards just decreasing over time.
kakobrekla: <benkay> the girl's recently gotten rather militant about our sleep schedules - i'm interested in the topic at large. < mine had that idea at some point as well. now i go to sleep when she wakes up.
benkay: did y'all see the "sleep as competitive advantage" link on the nyt today?
asciilifeform: dignork: unless i misunderstand - btc protocol as presently implemented cannot do this
asciilifeform as a boy thought 'black market' was an actual market, that one could actually go to. because, at the time and place... it was.
fluffypony: as long as they don't understand the word "fuck" it's fine
mp_on_a_boat: BingoBoingo: For a couple months I made it my mission to shove as much video into the NMC blockchain as possible << why ?
pankkake: ThickAsThieves: you have a note waiting as "ThickasTheives"
mircea_popescu: as a bare minimum
BingoBoingo: For some 80 lb pitbill puppy to lay teeth on F.... I regert not being there to treat him as one does a coyote.
BingoBoingo: I look more at the Grey market, but... sympathize with you that the power of BTC as better money materializes first in areas that need money most.
BingoBoingo: For a couple months I made it my mission to shove as much video into the NMC blockchain as possible
BingoBoingo: You move the ancient coins in a way that feigns a rougue BTC sports book, withdraw as apportunity presents and record that for the soldering iron.
BingoBoingo: This particular "happy accident" has reliably worked since last summer. Implementation as always though is ledt to the reader to their ability.
BingoBoingo: Mar 20 21:17:52 <ninjashogun>(You're not going to like this answer, but for my suggested Version 2: Wifi has less trust implicit architecturally it is not possible to automount a usb keyboard over wifi. You woudl have to break the wifi protocol, or use it in an unintended way as a carrier for other internal data) << Moment he became an UnSavory Garnish
BingoBoingo: Blazedout419: It is Altcoin as opposed to an altcoin
kakobrekla: alright, as long the limits are clear
mircea_popescu: "He developed an antagonistic relationship with his tutor, Patrick Blackett, who was only a few years his senior. While on vacation, as recalled by his friend Francis Fergusson, Oppenheimer once confessed that he had left an apple doused with noxious chemicals on Blackett's desk. While Ferguson's account is the only detailed version of this event, Oppenheimer's parents were alerted by the university authorities who con
BingoBoingo: Sure, then he pulled the demon core apart as it was critical
asciilifeform: generally, you'll find the same kind of folks calling themselves 'polymath' as 'hero.'
asciilifeform: i'll go with 'hooligan' as placeholder.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> so what is fanon then? << canon is the story as written by the author. fanon is the story as "it could be", written by the fans.
BingoBoingo: If Micheal Jordan has another one of his 1990's Klye style gambling binges he might fall into Kim's price range as well
BingoBoingo: Teller wanted the Bomb not only as a weapon, but also as a replacement for the shovel
BingoBoingo: Well, since the NSA isn't likely far ahead cryptographically anymore other than sabotaging the systems of others. I have to wonder what sorts of goodies they might have as far as signit goes.
asciilifeform: technical term, as i recall, is 'patsy'
ninjashogun: the new president, Sam Altman, knows me vaguely as well.
ninjashogun: there are other resources as well. There is a ton of information.
ninjashogun: As I mentioned, it was acquired.
benkay: and as tuxebo is apparently out of business, that's not good enough.
ninjashogun: Anyway as a founder when I'm in touch with people who come to me with ideas, the last thing I do is troll them about it.
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, so I was in here seeking financing for the second company, which was a services company. As part of that I also sought to sell services, which didn't materialize
ninjashogun: I've been programming since I was 15 (or earlier) and quite technical as well.
ninjashogun: I can tell you a bit about the companies, of course, but I'm not selling an idea, so much as a pipeline
ninjashogun: I thought I'd very briefly repeat the financing offer on offer elsewhere in case someone here is interested as well. Note that historically I've found this channel (-assets) very troll-y, but I do realize a lot of financing idles here (more than the other channel).
punkman: ninjashogun: but I am not going to take the offer as I need to do both companies concurrently. obviously $200K would solve all of my money needs, but then I would be beholden to just the second startup, instead of being able to pursue both
nubbins`: so they get to see they're standing in a field of shit stretching as far as the eye can see
ThickAsThieves: I'd explain it as,"TRP crap" means conspiracy/bullshit that doesnt really exist
mircea_popescu: ok so then trp should be valued the same sign as the film.
benkay: you take the blue pill, you go to sleep, you wake up and everything continues as normal.
benkay: if you've failed to teach a two year old how to get out of a car, you've failed as a parent and don't deserve to propagate your genes.
benkay: one might even go so far as to say that it's bloated.
benkay: "In May, in what appeared to be a thinly veiled reference to BNP Paribas and other banks under probe, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder warned that "There is no such thing as too big to jail," signaling that for the first time in decades the government was ready to press guilty pleas on financial institutions."
