nubbins`: how can you have deflation when
the money supply is increasing :D
dsherm: was just reading contravex's "deflation isn't bitcoin's problem..." great refreshing read. found
this channel
there
thestringpuller: yea.
that's what I've been looking into, do you
think it's legit
though?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: when assigning a key
to a bot, what is a good way
to allow
the bot
to access it? is a passphrase even practical?
nubbins`: so my macbook drank a cup of coffee
today
assbot: Mould

mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 listen : ident with gribble, let's walk you
through
this self upping
thing.
mircea_popescu: ahh people's assumptions are such a great boon
to internet humor. so i go on
this blog and butthurt people, everyone assumes
that since i speak
the language i also live
there, it's rioutous.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how woud you go about recouping all
this guy's usenet stuff ?
BlueMeanie4: well occasionally
they go from being a colony
to forming into a creature
that gets up and moves
mircea_popescu: yes but
they're not animals.
they're colonies of animals. like a
town.
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu>
therealaltcoin,
ThickAsThieves' scamcoin. /// it's more of a scamcoin assimiliation phenomenon!
mircea_popescu: precise, fucking dangerous mind-your-own-business law enforcer
type.
BitMarmot: They're goofy, largely benign
troublemaker
antonosika: mircea_popescu: I'll keep my fingers crossed
then.
ThickAsThieves: <+BingoBoingo> BitMarmot> Website's been clocking 1,000 hits a day for
the last
three days - I should write about marmots more often << Not a bad idea //// Before you know it your website will be all "10 Wacky Interesting
Things You Never Knew About Marmots"
mircea_popescu: (for
that matter, it's good policy / common courtest
to see if i don't want
to overbid in case you're considering assignment)
mircea_popescu: antonosika anyway,
the last clause is
there specifically
to allow you
to limit your risk as you can make me a settlement offer later on and who knows, i might
take it.
BingoBoingo: antonosika: Sitting around here and having access
to every one in
the chan's input is an effect IQ boost
antonosika: mircea_popescu: I'll be happy with
the outcome of
this contract either way, nice
to learn new
things with you crazy fucks around here.
BitMarmot: No, just not giving a damn what other people
think
BitMarmot: Be of no doubt, I am overawed by your approach
to polemic. But I suspect I probably wouldn't get away with it
BitMarmot: so ultimately you get done what needs
to get done without alienating anyone
mircea_popescu: i didn't even pick
the right phrase. should have used rickles' "he's making a loss on every sale but hopes
to make it up on volume"
BitMarmot: Judging from
the hits
though my point got across without hitting
the man
antonosika: last
thing, will you check
the blockchain and confirm in
this chat
that you saw
the 3.0001 BTC ?
assbot: A Law Enforcement Encounter: If you ran a Bitcoin related service before
the
thing hit $100 you prolly ought
to be somewhat concerned and/or prepared | Bingo Blog
mircea_popescu: (im not saying working is bad, it's not.
the reason it's good however is
that it allows such problems
to be discussed)
mircea_popescu: heh. "your penis is
too long
to fit any woman, so how do you propose
to reproduce ?" "not immediately, waiting for it
to grow more."
antonosika: Thanks bingo, i just wanted
this legal language verified by someone else
to seem less dogy
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot here's
the problem. your effort at being polite has resulted in 2+6k words, in which
the idiot in question is arguing he's right.
BingoBoingo: antonosika: Well if it came from another party
that would mean someone else just subsidized
the Long Party's purchase
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 well
that's why i gave you
that rota reference. nobody o.O after
the attempt at a public court
thing failed miserably.
antonosika: BingoBoingo:
the problem is
that it is possible
to argue
that
the deposit was not from
the long party
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Long Party: YOu are perfectly free
to save your own copy of MP's signed contract and sign it your self.
antonosika: So why not just write " 3.00001 BTC shall be deposited no later
than August 31st
to ..."
mircea_popescu: yes, but also
toothless. doesn't matter where it's from.
antonosika: easy
to argue
that it is not from
the long party
antonosika: mircea_popescu: starting a contract by only seeing a random
transaction in
the blockchain is dodgy as hell
BlueMeanie4: this doesnt appear
to bother
the 18 year olds who just bought 2 grand worth of magic beans
BlueMeanie4: do you know how many of
these 'celebrated' bitcoin experts have some lame background like
this?
mircea_popescu: that's funny, i remember
the days "anonymous" used
to be an insult.
mircea_popescu: just one of
the many ways mpex wrote
teh history of bitcoin
that nobody knows about because well... history is hard work.
antonosika: ill deposit if you reformulate
the contract
BlueMeanie4: the
thing i always look for-
they always have an alternative career
mircea_popescu: well for a coupla years
there was
this hot chick on
the forum beating
the shit out of
the innumerable, meanwhile forgotten scammers.
antonosika: mircea_popescu: can someone else vouch for
this ?
BlueMeanie4: ya I really appreciated
that article, but when you watch someone pull
this sort of stuff
time and
time again- it's hard not
to get personal
BitMarmot: BlueMeanie4 I
tend
to give people
the benefit of
the doubt on character, but go ruthless on
the facts
mircea_popescu: antonosika you gotta understand how
the legal mind works. you have a beneficial presumption
therein embedded.
antonosika: But
this isn't specified in
the contract. Only "the long holder shall deposit"
mircea_popescu: there's lines of work where honesty is
the worst policy.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 not all people, no. if people valued candor
there'd be a blowout sale on penis aids.
mircea_popescu: antonosika it'd still credit you. so
they'd be suckers for doing it, but
their problem.
antonosika: the btc could come from someone else depositing at
the same
time.
antonosika: Im about
to agree
to a contract
that stands if I deposit 3 btc
to mircea_popescu (with
the blockchain as security). Can someone
tell me
that
this is a smart procedure?
BlueMeanie4: yes but eventually
the emporer wears no clothe
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot if politeness has degraded
to
the point you gotta call someone
talented just
to remain polite i dun want any part of it.
assbot: Animaniacs -
The Monkey Song - YouTube
BlueMeanie4: to a degree- if someone is repeatedly
trying
to draw attention
to
themselves by whoring around every buzzword and
they do it repeatedly
then pull a PRESALE-
thats when you start questioning someone's motives
mircea_popescu: oh get out. unless
they
taste like vanilla
they go right into
the stu.
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot
that's fine, but you know if you call someone something, whether it's "talented" or "whore" or anything, i may well ask you well, how did you find
this and how could i verify for myself.
BitMarmot: Even if
the writings are nonsense, go after
the writings, not
the person who wrote
them
BlueMeanie4: of course he defers
that small job
to someone else
BlueMeanie4: 'if
this guy is going
to code
this
then great for him'
