asciilifeform: it is relatively simple if you are mircea_popescu and the only thing that needs to run is lynx and gpg 1.4
asciilifeform: anyway requirements of 'laptop for mircea_popescu's missile launch codes' and for civilian use are not quite same.

assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 18:11:38; ascii_field: whereas ~thinking~ btc folks are not easily separable from their btc.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu's www is linkable
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 18:03:04; ascii_field: because a thing like qntra works at least partly by being linkable
mircea_popescu: ascii_field apparently they can't afford to lose 150 BTC THIS BAD. thinkaboutit.
ascii_field: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/3pofdv/consensys_absorbing_whats_left_of_ethereum (from qntra commentz) << lulzy. yet again a new usg shill corp. to handle shitcoinatronics

pete_dushenski: ascii_field aha
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: well, it's all the media of the new republic. << This was my point. The 'intellectual property' or whatever you want to call it spawning from qntra is the value. For instance a movie or book, or some other form of media published under qntra. I see royalties in the future perhaps?
ascii_field: as in the story with 'what does mircea_popescu's flat cost' ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i suspect the very notion of PAYMENT is going to be destroyed by btc. let me illustrate what i mean.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: from this standpoint this Qntra is more like a media conglemorate than a simple new agency.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "successful" webcomics usually survive by selling their brand.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field and yet, as much they dislike paywalls, they love paying for ipads.
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 19:56:17; mircea_popescu: ascii_field not even about me. why would ~you~ argue it like that ? you don't argue like that for anything else, certainly not anything else you know well / understand in depth.
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 18:20:02; *: ascii_field does not actually know enough on the subject to comment further
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i really was thinking 'qntra is a propaganda machine primarily for speaking to non-#b-a people.' ergo 'thinking folks other than myself dislike paywalls' is a relevant hypothesis
trinque: pete_dushenski: heh. some piece of inane, unnecessary complexity for sure. died during a netsplit so I assume he handles this rather poorly.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field the point i'm coming to is that it's, unlike something you/those thinking people have actually thought about, merely an aculturation. ie, "this is how we dress". and i know where it comes from too, and so forth. nothing wrong with it, but it is what it is.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: now that you say this, i'm not even sure i correctly apprehend the purpose of qntra.
mod6: ascii_field: for lxr should jurov and I just put up the code to HEAD that includes through 'maxint' and 'verifyall' -- and we'll label it "HEAD" or "v0.5.4-TEST2"? There isn't any actual reason to have two versions of code going up through each leaf is there?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field not even about me. why would ~you~ argue it like that ? you don't argue like that for anything else, certainly not anything else you know well / understand in depth. ☟︎
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i get that the phrase triggers your allergy.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field besides the point what you were tryingt to say. the important thing to notice is how your mental flow went. and it went to "i am not alone". why would it ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the point i was trying to make was not that some 'silent majority' (tm) of thinking people dislike paywall and 'therefore paywalls suck', but that, if my hypothesis is true, it may pose a practical problem - how many of the folks in #b-a would have taken an interest in it if merely reading the logs had cost money ?
mircea_popescu: yeah pete_dushenski but i recall we briefly interviewing a moderately talented fellow in this very chan and he wanted a billion euros or some shit.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field whether you're alone or not should make no fucking difference. more importantly, it shouldn't be a point of consideration. why is it ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i did say 'thinking people'
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 18:00:47; ascii_field: and i don't think i am alone among thinking people in this position on paywalls.
ascii_field: aha. ty mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: how much money does the pet earn you ascii_field ? and what P/E do i need to pay to buy her ?
ascii_field will have to remember to ask for this pill when next visiting mircea_popescu
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: '...this never stopped the press from being WORTH money, which it always was' << how does this work ?

assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 17:55:57; ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-10-2015#1306117 << imho the very concept of a public sex club is inherently derpatronic.

assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 17:49:30; ascii_field: thing is, it is necessary to explain why i can get ru chocolate (and without breaking a sweat, really) at some mere 3x

jurov: so far it looks like this: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/?!v=asciilifeform_maxint_locks_corrected
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski just saying, a dossier on all the ways alphabet mitigates tax is definitely a qntra worthy research project for the actuarialy inclined.
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 17:44:47; ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-10-2015#1305838 << if it's 'chocolate' made in a nato country, it tastes like shit.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu alphabet would seem to be a tax mitigation strategy from this angle, but maybe it's one of those libtard jokes gone wrong, like 'czar'
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 17:41:00; ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-10-2015#1305949 << w's plantation is preserved to this day. museum. i've been there. 'not poor' does not begin to describe it.

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski check you out, you're actually understanding how rich world works.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i was thinking about this, there's no way to avoid a v dependency anyway, in principle. so it will have to be a python www anyway
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: or integrate whole thing into a pythonatronic www thing, a la phuctor
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 16:53:18; pete_dushenski: "Our 36 years of continuous growth and success has been driven by our consistent willingness to reimagine our future" << heh
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: all the useful, correct parts, were published, they are in the 'v' article on your www.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: there were a bunch of important things which did not work.
assbot: [BTC-dev] chuck_checkpoints vpatch submission ... ( http://bit.ly/1W9GS2c )

thestringpuller: ascii_field: do you subscribe to any magazines (even if they're comic books)?
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 15:53:41; mircea_popescu: jurov no one is even buying the bitbet spot.. says something about bitcoin economy << or about advertising.
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 15:44:20; mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> re: xxxotica, the name sound like made for derps, and advertised to start at 8pm. iirc restaurants down there don't open until after that - for lunch << there isn't a bunchy of these things to pick one from. this was THE ONLY THING HAPPENING THAT DAY IN THE WHOLE 12 MILLION STRONG "CITY"

thestringpuller: ascii_field: you gotta find a local chocolatier, the one near my house has access to "real chocolate"

By the end of the American Revolution, General Washington controlled about sixty thousand acres of land" << and there lies the debunk. it's true that george washington was well off. it's true he controlled some tens of k's of acres. it is UNTRUE that made him "richest in his generation".
