bitcoinpete: "Angel investor Roger Ver told Popper he’s not actively looking to make any new investments, choosing, instead, to focus his attention on the investments he’s already made." << cuz he's broke as shit?
bitcoinpete: "Ver agreed, suggesting that the next “logical step” for apps such as WhatsApp is to enable the sending and receipt of bitcoins." << ver should be on the board of facebook
mircea_popescu: this is about as exciting as watching frogs think.
mircea_popescu: 12:15: BitPay proposes reputation as a solution, neat. Hearn says it’s a little known fact that Satoshi was working on a peer to peer market that consisted of a reputation system. He wonders what Bitcoin would have looked like if he has worked on it 6 more months.
asciilifeform: i don't give a damn if 'market has decided' that shit is edible. for so long as it remains physically possible to obtain food, i shall eat it - rather than shit

asciilifeform: as for higher pressure in the box - the air has to come from somewhere.

jurov: maybe they perceive whole crypto stuff as too competitive, dunno
jurov: princessnell: if males are motivated by sex as they say, women are motivated by what?
kakobrekla: if you look at 'high finance' such as hedge funds, mainly male dominated environment, worse than tech, but then you have women like Elena Ambrosiadou that rips them.
princessnell: the complaints make a lot more sense as rent-seeking
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=TW | tw. abbreviation for trigger warning warns the audience that the following media may be triggering for mental disorders such as eating disorders, self harm/injury,  ...
gribble: Nick 'thestringpuller', with hostmask 'thestringpuller!~leflor@99-39-97-12.lightspeed.tukrga.sbcglobal.net', is identified as user 'thestringpuller', with GPG key id 0FF2943DA179E169, key fingerprint 6ACE36E786F39A4ADC4506DE0FF2943DA179E169, and bitcoin address None
fluffypony: benkay: see this is why I'm suggesting South Africa as a venue for the next conference
fluffypony: "Still need to raise a fair amount of funds. Going to list on Colored coins as well."
jurov: i undertood that as "replace karpeles and pierce with bots"
pankkake: "The price spiked to roughly $3 within days, and fell just as quickly. As of this writing, the average price for a single maxcoin is just below US$0.05." … https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=518131.0
fluffypony: I imagine pankkake as Mr. T being all like "I pity tha fool that uses altcoins"
mircea_popescu: meanwhile over at reality ranch, "11bet.org as the football quizzes website of the item, it is the key development direction to expand Website traffic, it will support many kind of virtual currencies to bet."
mircea_popescu: there's this incomprehensible (to me) tendency to approach non-bitcoin people as if they were somehow... i dunno, almost human.
mircea_popescu: and they're quite happy to hate anyone who will show that difference, or they merely perceive as capable to
mircea_popescu: but that notwithstanding, inasmuch as they can't tell the difference between "it" and it they're quite happy

mircea_popescu: to disguise herself as a man journalist
bounce: this result is "for fields with small characteristic", which is a while away from those with large prime characteristic, as typically used with crypto.

fluffypony: Gavin Andresen dressing up as a mad scientist to accept an award on Satoshi Nakamoto's behalf is such an odd decision
bitcoinpete: "The reality is that MtGox can go bankrupt at any moment, and certainly deserves to as a company. However, with Bitcoin/crypto just recently gaining acceptance in the public eye, the likely damage in public perception to this class of technology could put it back 5~10 years, and cause governments to react swiftly and harshly. At the risk of appearing hyperbolic, this could be the end of Bitcoin, at least for most of the public."
kakobrekla: asciilifeform heres an explanation: >>Gavin Andresen was the crowd-pleaser of the evening, as he disguised himself to accept the award for best Visionary Academic Paper on Satoshi Nakamoto’s behalf, garnering laughs from the audience. Check out his get up!
mircea_popescu: i shall include this great learning as part of further refinements of bitbet

BingoBoingo: Now we just need to distribute the lawgs as a chain of blocks
mircea_popescu: somehow i doubt she made more money than the best men in whatever she misrepresents her field as being
kakobrekla: basically this altcoin market is now same as penny stocks market or what
fluffypony: "If you do eat meat, you must assert that choice as a cynical transcendence of vegetarians' futile attempts to save the world."
pankkake: benkay: nothing, as long as they are all burned
fluffypony: pankkake: I can only speak of ansible with the highest regard inasmuch as I have seen/worked with it as implemented by a sysadmin (who I consider to be among the most savvy *nix admins I've ever known) of mine on a project last year
fluffypony: Duffer1: mornings/afternoons as it may be
moiety: kakobrekla: just as well, i don't seem to go anywhere
mircea_popescu: it got a 2nd shot once buttderp guy linked it, but it could just as well not have.
kakobrekla: mike_c not really, as i said, data is free, you pay for delivery
fluffypony: kakobrekla: like a bitcoin-assets meet would definitely not be the same as a #sex meet :-P
moiety: mike_c: its a legit gripe to be felt up but not to label all as gropers
mircea_popescu: "Learning about it now, instead of trying to play catch-up as it often seems like we are in terms of women in STEM fields, programming, or traditional finance, will surely reap great benefits." this is so true, yet so hopeless.

pankkake: as friends, not as sexual partners
moiety: i thought you meant females masquerading as males
mircea_popescu: it's not bad. course it's a layer of lulz, just as much a satire of its authors intent as of early forum fucktardery.
fluffypony: mike_c: yes, but definitely not as solid or wife friendly
