BitMarmot: I just don't like going after people personally - I'd rather discuss
the issues
BlueMeanie4: that was basically my
thought when I bothered
to read his nonsense writings
BlueMeanie4: BitMarmot- of course he doesnt want
to program it- i makes ZERO sense!
mircea_popescu: but generally, you can distinguish
they don't know wtf
they're
talking about on
terminology, and just discard
that and see if
they're basically honest or not. at least it's my approach.
BlueMeanie4: got
the idea
they know it because... well bitcoin. < a lot of
that goes on for sure
BlueMeanie4: he wanted
to peg
the value of assets
to some 'market value' - it was utter nonsense
mircea_popescu: gotta cut amateurs slack re finance, somehow everyone got
the idea
they know it because... well bitcoin.
BitMarmot: Let me put it
this way - I wanted
to play
the ball rather
than
the programmer
antonosika: mircea_popescu:
thanks for making it so clear.
mircea_popescu: ok, "I look at BitSharesX and I see a group of
talented" << what do you mean by
talented
then.

BitMarmot: fact is, most alt chains aren't
that big a deal/that different from BTC
to merit existence
mircea_popescu: antonosika
that you can't give sue 1.5 btc and mary 1.5 btc of your load. gotta pick a girl blow
the whole load on her.
BitMarmot: they wouldn't need
to presell because
they'd make
their money mining
the crap out of it
antonosika: What does it mean
that assignments are integral?
BlueMeanie4: BitMarmot- allocate at least an hour
to get
through
the WOT process
BlueMeanie4: that sounds like
the scene from Monty Python holy Grail
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot it doesn't say so much cause "token pre-sales" isn't reallyt a
term of art.
mircea_popescu: also get out of
this habit of using
the same
title on different dates for different articles. it's breadspread insanity.
BitMarmot: He would cast a curse on any campers at
the camp who harassed local wildlife
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot "I don’t like or approve of
token pre-sales and I never will." << whatr's
this mean ?
BitMarmot: A friend of mine
tells me
the
tale of a marmot called Grey Beard
BlueMeanie4: we have something like a marmot in
the rocky mountains. its similar
to a mountain-hamster
assbot: Logged on 26-08-2014 10:50:07; mircea_popescu:
There once was a she named Priscilla whose vagina was flavored vanilla.
The
taste was so fine man and beast stood in line of a lick at
this fabled chinchilla.
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
antonosika: Why cant u just argue
that
that is another
transaction?
BlueMeanie4: although I cant confirm
that
the current concept bears any resemblance
to
those early ideas
mircea_popescu: i already did dood. in between
that pastebin and a blockchain read you have incontrovertible proof.
BlueMeanie4: I even recall
the early bitshares stuff on btt, it was pure idiocy
antonosika: Public confirmation of
that a contract holds
antonosika: mircea_popescu: will you confirm
that
the contract holds when you get
the payment?
BlueMeanie4: BitMarmot-
those guys are notorious for faking
things like sales numbers and web stats
gribble: Error: I am not seeing
this user on IRC. If you want information about a registered gpg user,
try
the 'gpg info' command instead.
BitMarmot: Website's been clocking 1,000 hits a day for
the last
three days - I should write about marmots more often
BlueMeanie4: I just know
the people involved and I didnt even bother running
the numbers, I already know
the answer
mircea_popescu: which is what's wrong with "biding
their
time" idiocies.
mircea_popescu: it's a fucking outrage is what it is. basically vitalik saw
the neobee fuckwit buy a ferrari or whatever it was, went out of his mind and well... "if x can steal why shouldn't i"
BitMarmot: Thanks BlueMeanie4 - I do
this for a living so looked at BitShares for 20 minutes and was like, "does not compute"
BlueMeanie4: and i really appreciate your points in
that article BitMarmot
BlueMeanie4: its pretty clear
that Ethereum and Bitshares were fundraisers
BlueMeanie4: I
think
the SEC is aware of what Vitalik and Bitshares are doing, but
theyre biding
their
time
BitMarmot: ben_vulpes:danielpbarron:
tell preston he's not a lost cause
BitMarmot: I mean, I don't exactly look forward
to
the day seeing as I'm meant
to be hanged
mircea_popescu: but yes, i will definitely push for prosecution of
the current set of sec comissioners for having failed
to
take
the hand i extended
to
them last year.
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot myeah.
the many advantages for
the general public of
the sec demuring instead of
taking its fucking place in
the world.
mircea_popescu: antonosika well if a payment as specified makes it
to
the address specified before
time specified, you have.
mircea_popescu: "wait a
tick, wait a
tick... i will not ruin
this sketch for a pound"
antonosika: mircea_popescu: Is
there a way for me
to show
that I paid?
BitMarmot: Of everything I've written I figured MP probably approved of my most recent work
the most
BitMarmot: agreed, but I figured
the marmot peg was
the best way
to illustrate
the sheer stupidity of what was going on with BTSX
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot usg press machine was a better nick.
this bitblabla stuff is a cancer.
mircea_popescu: antonosika you don't have
to sign it, if you pay it stands.
BitMarmot: I am also a USG_Press_Machine from
time
to
time
antonosika: mircea_popescu: Anyways, one
thought on doing more good is
to make it easier for
those naive souls (as myself) who want
to understand
to learn.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, a complete collection of grabbe would probably be useful at
this point. he doesn't seem
to have any web exposure.
mircea_popescu: you can't start by doing good. you start by doing work, a lot of it,
then you see.
mircea_popescu: well
this problem is chiefly reflective of you not having done a lot of it yet.
antonosika: If I read logs or articles I don't know what
things have any "value" and what are just writings.
antonosika: Well you said
that it would be better if I had no money or voice since I will never do anything good. It feels like
that gives a rather strict definition of good.
mircea_popescu: In August 1998, PointCast found such a partner. In order
to compete with @Home, a consortium of
telephone companies and Microsoft put
together a project designed
to promote use of DSL in preference
to cable modems. <<< has
there EVER been a
technology battle where ms fell on
the right side ?
mircea_popescu: As companies like Pointcast, Marimba’s Castanet, Backweb, Intermind and others flock
to seize “push” market-share,
they have been feted by
the business press, welcomed by media companies who hope “push” will help
them make money, even lauded by Wired magazine as “the radical future of media beyond
the Web.” <<< all winners :D
mircea_popescu: antonosika you generally can't expect a summary of such
things be presented
to you on demand.
there's about 2 years worth of logs here and >5 of
trilema articles, you'll have
to go
through all
that
to find your own answer.

This Straight: March 1997 archives - Salon.com
mircea_popescu: "Media coverage of new
technologies is always governed by an inexorable cycle: First comes
the hyping,
then comes
the
trashing. Of late,
the Net has so accelerated
this cycle
that
the
trashing kicks in well before
the hype has stopped — sometimes creating a conflict of views
that looks suspiciously like genuine debate."
antonosika: I would not donate
to charity. But anyhow, if you deem some
things as ill (such as charity) some people do
things
that are not ill (like you for example?) what would such deeds be?
assbot: Some basic discussion of charity pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 well it's not necessarily defined, but
to me gypped is
the inverse process : when some lout appropriates capital he shouldn't have.
antonosika: mircea_popescu: But, do you have a definition of deeds
that are
the opposite of ill?
