benkay: additionally, some of their fields have spaces in them as well.
decimation: asciilifeform: (19-03-2014) as always, when using a technical pidgin like english, everybody loses something. << learning some German taught me how dumb English is: no grammatical cases, no genders, irregular endings, irregular pronunciation
benkay: far as i can see there's precisely one agency in the WoT.
mircea_popescu: i hope you didn't refer to those people as "guys"
mircea_popescu: here i sit crushing my and every expert's brain as to why the fucking hell of fuck does bitbet aff not take off
mircea_popescu: in things such as surviving a dose of xrays, it's counterintuitively your length more than your area that matters at subcellular level

mircea_popescu: and moreover, why the d is rendered as n in a double n, wtf, this isn't even a documented consonant migration afaik
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: I imagine we'll fill the wiki with important points over time << as stan'd say, i can also see another scenario, where the wiki is still where it's now, a decade later.
mircea_popescu: it's as if you were a woman, and visited gynecologists monthly, until one day when you discovered they decided football was part of gynecology, and then kept running into one another on the field like drunk sperms.
mircea_popescu: and the way he goers about it makes one fucking petrified of these folks' general competence and ability as displayed at the daily business of their chosen field.
asciilifeform: as far as i can see, this fellow's a genuine, if unimaginative crypto type. and bitcoin is now part of the mandatory 'gentleman's set' of topics such a creature must at least pretend to show an interest in. hence paper.
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if we inhabit a theoretical topological construct rather than irl.

jurov: as soon as they start to click around, it gets forgotten
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing as "manifesting into organisation" tho
mircea_popescu: only lords may hire professionals, as far as the professionals know their own best interest.
mircea_popescu: might as well answer "witches wanted" ads in 1700s salem
mircea_popescu: anyway, sponsorships may work. it's just... they require some elements, such as lordship, that are absent for reddit's case.
mircea_popescu: concerned as to her well being, convinced as to the dangers etc

asciilifeform: let's picture a source of hashing cycles, publicly auctioned. how would it not be subject to the same bidding dynamics as presently existing miners?
mircea_popescu: the funny thing about that paper is, of course, that altcoin is being used currently exactly as experimental proof that his theory is nonsense.

mircea_popescu: "We claim that these built-in properties are not as brilliant as they are sometimes claimed."
mircea_popescu: ntry. Within a generation or two the prevailing winds changed, and most all of “Victorian morals” can adequately be reduced to and explained in terms of, the lords pushing their sponsored priests to go to war on their behalf, under the banners of “other people should drink gin so as to make the lord money, but the people of this parish should not drink gin so as to be able to work long and hard, thus making the l

mircea_popescu: because inasmuch as it's in your hands, abstaining for an arbitrary period from x does not prove you don't have an addiction.

artifexd: As in: Send me money. I'll send it to you later. But I may send the next guys money before I send yours. I may also send you a different amount than you sent me.

mircea_popescu: not nearly as remarkable a feat.
asciilifeform: much as no one is excited to see themselves as a zimbabwe dollar billionaire
mircea_popescu: mike_c "and a company that will probably be worth billions this time next year." well look, i like myself just as much as the next guy, but srsly, billions ? seems improbable.
mircea_popescu: "Here at Rockwell Automation's world headquarters, research has been proceeding to develop a line of automation products that establishes new standards for quality, technological leadership, and operating excellence. With customer success as our primary focus, work has been proceeding on the crudely conceived idea of an instrument that would not only provide inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detracto

mircea_popescu: suppose you run 1k boxes as honeypots distributed all over the web.
mircea_popescu: davout: it's just in the continuation of debt money, it's not really a competitor to bitcoin in any way << logically, as the statists keep getting beaten out of things, they'll regroup around similar-looking, similar-sounding, different things. again and again and again.
jurov: and armory/electrum servers as well
bitcoinpete: mostly as to what you're understanding that mp isn't
bitcoinpete: since everything gets sloshed together in a reused address, the taint is less clearcut, as i understand it
Naphex: can you give an example? as guest?
mike_c: built by same guy as perforce i believe, which i am a fan of.

chetty: http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2014/05/05/department-defense-to-study-bitcoin-as-terrorist-threat/
bitcoingirl: as far as making investors whole again
davout: i guess if that's what you define as an "altcoin" then we are in agreement
ThickAsThieves: i'm not stating it as a competitor to bitcoin, so much as the reverse
davout: ThickAsThieves: i don't really see anything wrong with ripple as long as you take it for what it actually is : a mechanism to transmit debt, for which you have to buy stamps from a single company
davout: (and to bitcoin-central as well obv. but they have no stake in it, so that's not really the same)
Naphex: you can if you want use the rng to generate a priv key, but you can just as well upload one
mike_c: you can use http://www.btcalpha.com/bb_ad.png as is if you want.
mircea_popescu: i fucking use this for my own benefit, as it happens. "i've not spanked anyone in a long time, who'd like a red butt ?"
mircea_popescu: If schools cannot justify differentials in rates of punishment by race or ethnic group, they will face the loss of federal funds and be forced to undertake costly diversity training. The nation's educators can avoid sanctions by adopting a racial quota system for student discipline. So as Roger Clegg, president and general counsel of the Center for Equal Opportunity, predicts, "school officials will either start discip

ThickAsThieves: yeah my intent isnt to be evil so much as to expose it
fluffypony: Vertcoin payment gateway, but dev it as a white-labelled PayBee
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves as far as im concenred, the "why are you not publishing reports @vehe" is all.
bounce: that an open offer? though as a matter of style one might better sneak in bitcoin foundation gigs and possibly get thrown out in front of cameras
mircea_popescu: they'll get ignored anyway, might as well save the electrons
Namworld: fluffypony, you've chat as much in the last 30 days as I did in the last 12 months.
mircea_popescu: Me : Then pretty much nobody cares. You wanna play a sport, might as well go pro or else forget about it.
mircea_popescu: Random twitter self-absorbed priss : This website wants to feature me as a "Hot Babe”. Should I do it?
mircea_popescu: which is also entirely an artefact of your own mind, as yo ucan make a webpage in fucking lisp ?
kakobrekla: afaik 'green address' as technical term implies reusing an address, which is funny.
GAit: reusing increases bloat if i understand correctly as you have less to prune
GAit: anyway, bitcoinpete, why would you go as far as calling it scam? good reasons or?
GAit: i wasn't sure this was appropriate for the channel, as long as others don't mind
