the
thing, you get a month.
RagnarDanneskjol: sorry -
thought you needed
to know
the enemy is in yur backyard
mircea_popescu: "After a brief introduction
to some of
the building’s chief organizers, along with a
tour of
the facility, I was a fellow citizen in good standing, in
the world of Bitcoin. "
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol: ha - derps are setting up shop in BA << it's a big
town
mircea_popescu: it was one of
those bright engineering ideas what does in fact work as intended, but causes such a pile of unintended consequences as
to wipe out any benefit.
kakobrekla: so basically a hardcoded date should be a fix for
this
mircea_popescu: which.. you know. but anyway, lessons learned galore from
that 1st
try. it's
time
to release
the undead hold.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla well completion of ipo as in,
them selling.
kakobrekla: this is
the clause? has it been 30 days already sheesh.
kakobrekla: among
the
two named individuals, each receiving a block of 1`000`000 (one million) shares.
kakobrekla: 3. (f)Of
the remainder 5`000`000 (five million) shares, 3`000`000 (three million) will be used as described in paragraph (b) above.
The proceeds of
those sales will go
to
the
two individuals named above, alternatively for each block, starting with Matic "kakobrekla" Kočevar for
the first block.
Thirty days after
the completion of
the IPO as described in paragraph (b) above
the remainder 2`000`000 (two million) shares will be distributed e
mircea_popescu: no but it is getting ridiculous, wanted
to do
this after
the bitbet ads
thing but o noes, contracts.
mircea_popescu: ima be scoring
them and getting
the fully painted
things later
this month, and we will proceed having
them modelled
then.
mike_c: sweet. i
think any changes
that involve giving mike some stuff is a good idea.
mircea_popescu: MiniGame announcement : i received sketches for 36 itams, ofwhich 24 animals and 12 plants, from jason juta (the wizards of
the coast guy) who's worked with us before and i was very satisfied.
mircea_popescu: i am unilaterally modifying
that
thing, and will release
the 10% blocks
to our accounts later
this week.
mircea_popescu: seeing how it's been about
two years and
the 30% still ain't all sold, and given
that
the contract was made at a btc of like 15 so it significantly misjudges
things, and seeing how us having 0 shares in hand is inconvenient because we want
to do
things like give mike some shares cause he keeps doing cool shit
mircea_popescu: by
the way, BitBet announcement :
the contract specifies 30% of shares are sold on a increasing schedule, after
their being sold me and kako each get 10% into our accounts.
mircea_popescu: last
time i
tried
to do it "bring your gf" but mostly ppl didn't.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what
to do here, i mean
the
town is hooker central, but i don't imagine people would much like
the italian arrangement
mircea_popescu: if you look at a map, it's outside
the perimeter i described :)
los_pantalones: i'll be in bucharest next summer for a bit, i'll report on
the veracity of your claims
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones yes but
they don't do salt pickles. which... romanians end up importing
the gherkins and pickling locally.
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones romania specifically, from
timisoara/oradea
to brasov.
mircea_popescu: maybe you get a ny deli with decent stuff most of
the
time, maybe you're willing
to drop 20k euro a month
to eat properly in paris,
mircea_popescu: i don't mean other places don't have good food, but if you're european/(french-italian branch),
there's just nowhere
to go.
mircea_popescu: because srsly, it is
the best place in
the world for food.
mircea_popescu: im like... you're such a fucking retard, i live here for
the food motherfucker.
mircea_popescu: and so he starts
telling me all about how
they die of hunger over
there and how bad romania is
mircea_popescu: yeah and vice-versa. speaking in english
to womenz in romanian cabs, driver picks
the idea i'm like from boston
mircea_popescu: basically
the various govts have pulled
the
trick of all
time : convinced
the people living in
the shithole of
the world
they're living in
the only livable
tip
thereof.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile,
the bus stations in fucking rural mexico are airport-clean, you can eat off
the floors.
mircea_popescu: and
this isn't even all of it. when i left for mexico everyone in
the us was like "pack
tp"
los_pantalones: where 50% of
the ppl
there are just a network of pickpockets
mircea_popescu: to me
too. and i got a 100 pesos samsung dumbphone. it's light, i couldn't care less if someone steals it.
☟︎ los_pantalones: mircea_popescu i couldn't believe how many people came up
to me
mircea_popescu: because
they've convinced
themselves
this happens. meanwhile, it never does. walk queens you'll see a mugging every day. walk chacarrita and glty, you got better chances
to see a comet.
mircea_popescu: y argentine will warn you
to "be careful with your belongings!111eleventy",
they have special implements in many restaurants
to hook&tie your purse
to
the
table,
they go as fucking far as
to wear backpacks in front, and many kids with it in
the back had
this mental issue where
they reached back and
touched
the zipper every 30 seconds.
mircea_popescu: decimation: when I was a boy scout in my youth I went hiking up in Philmont in northern new mexico -
they
told horror stories << re retarded human shamans : here
they
tell horror stories about muggings. i have, in months, observed exactly one attempt, and it was a clearly us bum
trying
to pass himself as belgian and doing
the
talking business. clueless enough
to not even fucking spot me,
the idiot. but otherwise : ever
mircea_popescu: they're not an anthropo
thing.
they're animals. doing
their own
thing.
mircea_popescu: decimation:
TheNewDeal: i've heard
that black bears aren't so aggressive as long as you don't corner a cub << bears generally aren't aggressive at all. felides&canides are aggressive if very hungry or during mating season, but otherwise you can get out and people have for ages. animal aggressivity is a cost/benefit consideration,
they';re not
the convenient antichrist retarded human shamans preach.
mircea_popescu: there was one iirc. but really hard
to have
them resolvable
kdomanski_: I'm suprised
to see
there aren't any bets related
to what Russia is doing
punkman: BitPay, BitPagos, CoinMelon setting up offices

than embassy
