mircea_popescu: “You guys sound like you are on a roller coaster right now, McHale said to the crowd as they groaned to another one of his flopped jokes."
mircea_popescu: i thought you meant doing your dd as a good thing.
danielpbarron: for example: a user is in the WoT, and has a rating of 3 or more given by mircea_popescu, describing him as an operator of a specific pass-through; is it safe to trust this user on that information alone?
kakobrekla: yeah but you can go to buttfucker and post a passthrough as evedence present a malfucked pgp signature which none of the 'investors' know how to check anyway and thats that
benkay: bitcoincharts.org nonsense as well then?
bitcoinpete: "Sacha Baron Cohen attended The 84th Annual Academy Awards (2012) in character and full costume as Aladeen, accompanied by his "virgin guards". While giving an interview on the red carpet to an unsuspecting Ryan Seacrest he brandished an urn he claimed to contain the remains of deceased North Korean dictator Jong-il Kim. Cohen then spilled the ashes all over Seacrest's tuxedo. As a result, Cohen was banned from entering the auditori
mircea_popescu: "The P/E implied value per share is thus 0 BTC." unzips, depacks and deflates as "the value of each share calculated on the basis of the P/E of this company so far would be 0"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves understand tho : this is moderated as to venue, not as to content.
Naphex: a lot of other fun stuff like corruption, inside deals, and pref specs go on as well
mircea_popescu: a wink's as good as a nudge.
BigBitz: sure but that's as worthwhile as saying "here it is" then moving it instantly.
mircea_popescu: as they say, the best way to sink a good team with a good idea is a bad revenue stream.
mircea_popescu: that's an arbitrary string, you can make as many as you want.
gribble: Nick 'Hasbro', with hostmask 'Hasbro!~hasbro@arcemu/staff/hasbro', is identified as user 'Hasbro', with GPG key id 51D245C43C2D4FA1, key fingerprint 6BEB20114F1E24F9029A1CDE51D245C43C2D4FA1, and bitcoin address None
bounce: as long as it's cheap, eh
mircea_popescu: prolly work as abortifacient too
bounce: "back in the day" for me is tape swapping, as dcc just wasn't fast enough
mircea_popescu: punkman is there such a thing as fagrap ? i mean there's everything else, some chick introduced me to her christian rap brother.
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: I think Mircea claimed that one in Channel as one of his personal betting addresses.
Naphex: mircea_popescu:i want to have a services market, as integral part of bitcoin. <<< one would be very nice
KLYE: I sent out some text MP for the picture you requested. And got blown off by most of the talent as they are busy getting drunk or banged by someone it seems. One wanted to come over but that is hardly what you asked. :/
ThickAsThieves: as ironic as it sounds
ThickAsThieves: as in, they dont get financed because they dont make money
KLYE: BTC isn't considered currency in Canada as far as I know, It's considered a grey area. And until phase two when the Klyemax IPO hits an exchange I do not think we have to worry about the MSC.
ThickAsThieves: i mean what, we have WoW and Final Fantasy, maybe GTA, as long term successes
ThickAsThieves: so while this may be good as an excercise in competition,
ThickAsThieves: a concept i generally agree with as well
ThickAsThieves: and thus a more segmented relationship with designers as businesses
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves however, to round that point : no modern game can feasibly made by exactly 1 person. practical games are made by teams, and a lot of content is needed. as the game goes through its cycle, the teams change anyway.
KLYE: I certainly hope you aren't discrediting me for not being able snap my fingers and have the whores over now. These women like booze and parties. As it sits I have neither, nor is it that time of day yet. And as explained before I am hesitant to get them all together. They may be whores.. But last thing I need is them all pissed off at me for putting them in the same room as one another.
mircea_popescu: much like kyle's camho biz does not need super cameras as much as it needs super eager sluts.
KLYE: As it sits at this current moment I am looking into exactly what Cameras I'd like to invest in.. I need PTZ technology built in. But I also don't want to invest in cheap hardware and have it break quickly
ThickAsThieves: so this goes back to my questions, as my goal wasnt to compare market approaches anyway
ThickAsThieves: (i could easily mark improvements for dota's market as applied though)
mircea_popescu: yes. but strategically, do i want to encourage a few good people to make a few good skins as you call them
ThickAsThieves: as part of the game
mircea_popescu: i want to have a services market, as integral part of bitcoin.
pankkake: https://blockchain.info/address/1Eck6cgGzEb9N42CFhcsCBQhZQStoJbHRK my tries of spamming for bitbet, 0.04 total. not as bad as I remember
Micon_: mircea_popescu - I am interested in how to define trust for us early btc barons and accept other friendlies as time goes
moiety: wait.. mircea_popescu i have my location on tweeter as "looking for manuls" :/ eep
mircea_popescu: in short, for as long as you wish to hold a franchise (in this case, the dollar) you're bound by the rights of the franchise owner.
BingoBoingo: I'm pretty sure I would smoke the chicken on the grill. Chickens are better as food than as alarms.
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Of course. Many of the great players come from the region and many of the US players play in their Winter leagues as well.
fluffypony: dignork: yep, I think I'm talking purely about using BTC as a way of getting around the cross-border issues
fluffypony: kakobrekla: BTC can be used purely as the medium of exchange, pegged to the local exchange rate, if the lenders aren't long on Bitcoin
bitcoinpete: p2p lending is sold as if it works iteself
thestringpuller: God that sounds fucking appealing as shit :(
gribble: Guidance : There Is No Such Thing As Bitcoin Taint. pe Trilema - Un ...: <http://trilema.com/2014/guidance-there-is-no-such-thing-as-bitcoin-taint/>; On July 29, 1914 pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.: <http://trilema.com/2014/on-july-29-1914/>; Bitcoin pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.: <http://trilema.com/category/bitcoin/>
cgcardona: yes I would as well
cgcardona: so I've been thinking about a group of SuperUsers called 'The church of Sudo', 'The Cult of the SuperUser', and/or 'Order of Root'. Also known as 'The Web' -- I thought that the WoT/+v could be an interesting real world model as well. So a person shows up at the SuperUser underground lair and has to sign a message w/ their key and then retina scan/fingerprint to get access.

moiety: as tobe expected, nothing is moron free all of the time
danielpbarron: Micon: so we can be sure that the Micon we're talking to today is the same as any Micons in the future
Micon: fair enough. I may have business to bring here in the future. Always listening, as well
ThickAsThieves: mp clarification on question one "start that way" as in there will there not be a base set of art for everything within the intended style of the game
ThickAsThieves: mircea_popescu when you mention "art" for S.MG shall be open market, does that mean: 1. It will start that way? 2. It will/won't not have a style guide as boundary? 3. Audio will be sourced likewise? (style guide? music? sfx? voice?)
danielpbarron: i don't think it's nearly as easy to get that changed
Maciano: before as PhD, but that wasn't for me
mircea_popescu: moiety: sort of unrelated but is it just me that is intensely annoyed by gawker as a website? << not really that intensely. another gossip rag, plenty of em.
fluffypony: so I point out that "Pompano Beach" is just the area, and that the zip code matches the one he provided on his order, so as far as I can see it's been delivered
gribble: Error: Spurious "]". You may want to quote your arguments with double quotes in order to prevent extra brackets from being evaluated as nested commands.
moiety: sort of unrelated but is it just me that is intensely annoyed by gawker as a website?
BingoBoingo: moiety: Weather as euphamism for feeling unwell
asciilifeform: (as you could in a classical, incandescent flashlight)
asciilifeform: so long as you can keep the output voltage above the junction minimum of the leds, you have some light
bounce: well, if there isn't a port then this is as good a point as any to cook one up
bounce: all I have is a photon II, came as a giveaway. guy had a sack full of'em, when in yurp they cost 20 euro a piece.
asciilifeform: i bet they've got one in norilsk as we speak.
asciilifeform: i'm still at a loss as to why gigantic server farms aren't built, in, say, alaska
mircea_popescu: as i said a few times before, the other party can move it up to getting shot any time it feels ready
mircea_popescu: he's almost as bad as the forum average, 25% loss over a year.
mircea_popescu: heck, they probably have bitcoin defined as a real.
Namworld: Move decimals to two places? You mean as in making 1 BTC = 100 satoshi?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they include 'for the good of the poor' in any official proclamation now. as in 'the good of the proletariat' and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete> http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/02/opinion/egan-sports-the-most-progressive-force-in-america.html <<< lmao they say that as if it were somehow a good thing. lulzy shit.
mircea_popescu: is substantial political risk with this investment. We, as investors, do not know how the Cypriot government will act toward a new financial institution like this. This is especially true given the political turmoil occuring in Ukraine and the Crimea region."
asciilifeform: put up a mast << might as well hoist a black flag on same mast.
bounce: doesn't have to be very efficient. ttl everything will do as long as it works.
asciilifeform: and, given that 'one may as well hang for a sheep as a lamb,' why stick to only 2m.
asciilifeform: and the local carries have destroyed as many of them as they could get away with
BingoBoingo: I once produced a version of a web site I ran as a gopher site, in 2011, Library school project
asciilifeform: it won't be as easy as the first time, though
asciilifeform: so long as arsebook, skype, etc. work
bitcoinpete: college is best used as a dating service
MarieLynn: I have decades of project and staff management experience so I do not expect to work in bitcoin as a developer. Bitcoin needs leadership and guidance for its 22 year old employees!! I have lots of experience developing talent 19-25
MarieLynn: Student art from an assistant professor. Most of it counts as cubist :)
mircea_popescu: http://pankkake.headfucking.net/2014/05/02/yo-bitcoin-assets-i-put-contrarianism-in-your-contrarianism/ << here's pancake trying to rebrand being a pussy as being a gadfly.
pankkake: it's 24/7, but you can get a reply hours later. it's generally as everywhere on IRC
bitcoinpete: "According to people at the exchange, the 28-year-old Frenchman was slow to grasp Mt. Gox’s troubles. As recently as early February, he didn’t imagine most of the virtual currency possessed by Mt. Gox and its customers were gone, they say."
MarieLynn: my blog about crypto, has an english podcast as well.
bitcoinpete: "For a few months, I have been developing business relationships with people in Bitcoin. As with any of the communities I have joined and thrived in the past 25 years, I am paying my dues in Bitcoin by doing some volounteer work."
mircea_popescu: fluffypony no, i meant as a kid. they do this "o write a business plan" many places.
fluffypony: I always enjoyed it as a way to cement my thoughts
ThickAsThieves: I kicked him off the project shortly after, and we nearly came to blows as roommates not long after that. I never got past writing the plan, thankfully.
Apocalyptic: <artifexd> Bloomberg is using Kraken as the source? WTF? << same reaction here
artifexd: Bloomberg is using Kraken as the source? WTF? They had less than 10btc of volume in the last 24 hours. Talk about a fucked up signal.
mircea_popescu: or if they will take 2.0 as a thing that actually existed, and continue the count.
ThickAsThieves: i saw someone use ethereum and the like as a Web 3.0 reference
mircea_popescu: no, mature as in heroin addict chicks.
