BingoBoingo: unbalanced: Well, there's a bunch of other keyservers
as well.
mircea_popescu: "Ever since the venture capital scene started talking about Bitcoin back in 2013, one of the most frequently cited comments from them is that Bitcoin is interesting for the technology, not the currency. In fact, this mantra has become so common that it almost sounds… scripted." << if you're curious
as to the reason, it has to do with them not wanting to go under the yoke that's been awaiting patiently and quite unav
mircea_popescu: ".I want to see a future digital economy in which nobody is excluded from participation." "No third party should have the ability to interfere in the voluntary dealings of other people." << do you see these
as logically equivalent ?
mircea_popescu: "Given all these downsides, it should be apparent that decentralization isn’t something to aspire to lightly. In fact, it may be better to say that decentralization
as a design technique is best reserved
as a last resort, only to be used when there are no other suitable alternatives."
mircea_popescu: where he had found a tutorial on the net to make arbitrary length keys and was offering this
as a sort of forum-level braindamaged saas ?
teward: (OTC operator
as in +o moderator in -otc)
justusranvier: Not until Bitcoin Core is dethroned
as the monolopy full node implementation though
mircea_popescu: anyone capable of busting in can count your cash
as well
as you can
mircea_popescu: i don't believe this crap is aptly described
as optimism.
mircea_popescu: just go to the hackathon
as you go to the bar, not like you go to school. it's a social function.
mircea_popescu: Many knowledgeable observers called the whole thing a success. Irvine’s team wound up with three million in BTC after all. Ryan Galt, an investor who blogs
as Two-Bit Idiot, noted the “pump-and-dump” that happened but said the number one takeaway was to make sure to get in early when a “hot new coin-related startup announces a crowdsale.” “You better be ready to buy the second it goes live,” he wrote.
mircea_popescu: “All issuers selling securities to the public must comply with the registration provisions of the securities laws, including issuers who seek to raise funds using Bitcoin,” said Andrew J. Ceresney, the SEC’s enforcement director in a press release. “We will continue to focus on enforcing our rules and regulations
as they apply to digital currencies.”
mircea_popescu: benkay also known
as moral hazard, this, and why someone's gotta put a stop to it
mircea_popescu: apparently the guy is a total gold bug. the ever helpful tardopedia : " His 20 year tenure
as head of Forbes magazine coincided with the decline of the publication and the Forbes family empire."
ThickAsThieves: he paints himself
as disliked by his peers, is that the case?
mircea_popescu: <davout> mircea_popescu: well, if you count $10k/month/person that's like 3.6mn/year in salary, that's not *that* much compared to what they raised, and they haven't been 30 for that long o a time i'd assume << you know the donner party also wasn't
as large before
as it was at the point it starved to death.
davout: aren't there legitimate cases where companies need to raise repeatedly because their current positive cash-flow is not sufficient to address the market
as it could be addressed?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: But they refuse to acknowledge that
as well
mircea_popescu: davout right
as in what you say is true but it doesn't have much to do with the previous
davout: right
as in "you got it" or right
as in "oh god, where do we start?"
mircea_popescu: gotta maintain marketplace discipline,
as well
as all know our own place in this world.
TheNewDeal: I've not talked about Bitfinex since this isn't a sales pitch for them. I've not talked about how they offer leveraged margin trade
as well
as normal exchange. Nor have I talked about the p2p lending platform where people who don't want to trade can earn swap interest on USD or BTC balance. I've also not mentioned the 5 order types they have: limit
mircea_popescu: "come live in this shitty house that's overpriced instead of underpriced
as it should be, because you pay less-than-class for out-of-class items, always. just so you can imagine your kids get better education"
pankkake: if he's writting a web wallet
as he claims, he will have a hard tard convincing he's not inputs.io 2.0
pankkake:
as long
as bitcointalk is a thing btc will stay <1000
fluffypony: kakobrekla: you need $200k
as a deposit just to bid
kakobrekla: bitcoinpete im always
as loaded up
as i can be.
BingoBoingo: Approving the Billy Hamilton bet was a mistake. There's no attractive reason to go in on yes, even
as a longshot. He's fast whis is exciting, but fast doesn't win any "of the year" awards.
mircea_popescu: im going to make sure and raise this objection to the us supreme court's competence in any case before it, that it is unqualified to sit
as a court because it scams with its published decisions.
assbot: Boeing Tumbles
as Cantor Loss Clouds Ex-Im Banks Future - Bloomberg
jurov: lol i read the link
as "loses gpg primary"
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones drinks, tits, streaming game, betting tips, a whole atmosphere such
as it is
mircea_popescu: the way I figure it, if the wc set fails to attract 500 btc total pool, we'll just ditch sports
as a category and mostly reject all proposed sports bet without zeroconf
assbot:
As estan las Cataratas del Iguazu con la crecida - YouTube
mircea_popescu: actually someone should make a lolpost about "break the age glass ceiling! women should be killed off by the government so that on average they live
as long
as men!!11"
mircea_popescu: but yeah, originally it was all "o, how the bitcoiners don't understand basic socialism
as canon accepted by everyone"
mircea_popescu: "I got swept up in the mania last November and dared to invest my life saving into purchasing 1 bitcoin, just
as it was near peak. That turned out to be a terrible purchase for me"
pankkake: my experience of the forum is that there is no shortage of high profile delusional scammers, that of course don't think themselves
as such
fluffypony: the whole arrangement is confusing
as hell
mircea_popescu: "Ideally, I prefer to have the entire 1,132 BTC, sans the 400 BTC bounty amount, paid in full to me, but knowing that sometimes arbitration takes place, I'm willing to settle for a minimal amount, with anybody acting
as liaison to broker their reward up to 100% of what I may finally recognize. The minimum I'm welling to settle for is $50K USD via BTC or fiat to compensate for my initial investment and the mega hours I
davout: i explained to him how a shared wallet works, later he refers to it
as mumble-jumble
mircea_popescu: this seems a fools errand
as im sure his balance didn't come in one chunk.
mircea_popescu: davout so he does not make a specific claim to either address or transaction, he makes a specific claim
as to balance and to url which can't be verified, is the thing ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: sure, BUT if he EVER sent money from Instawallet to someone (say
as payment for something) and message'd or email'd them the transaction ID he'd have that, he'd have SOMETHING that could be used
davout: the idea being that i could have checked against backups of bitcoind wallets
as well with such an information
assbot:
As estan las Cataratas del Iguazu con la crecida - YouTube
mircea_popescu: so
as best you can determine, there's a month+ interval where according to phinn he had 1k+ btc, but according to your db he had not ?
mircea_popescu: <Mats_cd03> and how is it becoming less resilient << no comms network is
as resilient
as the internet
dub: the emergency service arguemtn for pots is fast becomming irrelevant
as teh network becomes less resilient
mircea_popescu: moreover, they have very little option in the matter,
as their safety strictly depends on this sort of secrecy.
mircea_popescu: in spite of all the pretense
as to "exchanges" and tips and whatnot, it'd seem 99%+ of all doges are actually held by the admin group
Mats_cd03: some trivia: a lord jeffrey is responsible for the biological warfare against the reds, and today he has a bustling college town
as his namesake
TheNewDeal: could I bet both sides at the beginning
as well?
AncientAliensBTC: How does betting later affect my odds? Say I bet 1 BTC (
as the site shows) with a 3.5 BTC payout. How much will I cash in on my early betting vs lose out to my position becoming more popular/dilute other side?
mike_c: AncientAliensBTC: i see betting both sides of a bitbet
as a bet on action. if the bet receives a lot of action, you should do well.
mgio: he lives in the US,
as do I, and the terms of the loan are pretty straightforward
benkay: the whole 'can you assbot' thing
as test of technical ability is a neat filter to boot.
mircea_popescu: german serfs cca 1100 knew
as much, "the day foreign armed men walk the province, all tax obligations are null and void"
mircea_popescu: then videotape it and post it on youtube, should any other fuckwits need training
as to the importance of "holding checkpoints"
mircea_popescu: russia is emerging
as a major ally of the muslims, and its strategy to energetically isolate the west is starting to take shape.
mircea_popescu: "The earliest types of EDA routers were "manual routers" -- the drafter clicked a mouse on the endpoint of each line segment of each net. Modern PCB design software typically provides "interactive routers" -- the drafter selects a pad and clicks a few places to give the EDA tool an idea of where to go, and the EDA tool tries to place wires
as close to that path
as possible without violating DRC." << my naive bias thing
pankkake: unfortunately there isn't,
as neither exchanges publish a 30d volume
davout: the bet can actually resolve
as soon
as s.mg is open for business
davout: so the bet resolution could be rewritten
as "yes if s.mg receives at least one satoshi in 2014"
davout: that would count
as revenue
mircea_popescu: such
as for instance i dunno, blizzard gets scared and pays us 50 bux to not run wow out of business
davout: because that would count
as revenue
mircea_popescu: the shorter stick IS ACTUALLY
as long
as the longer one.
mircea_popescu:
as far
as bitbet is concerned, the string of english words that is the title NOW MEANS the string of english words that is the body.
