Kamuela: of course
that's a bit of laziness on
the part of vetting your customer, but i understand
that what i call laziness other people call serving needs, which I completely respect
the need
to do
Kamuela: for example, it seems so far from my interviews
that something people really like is
the guaranteed payment... something
that
this project would NOT be offering for at least a while. it certainly would not be part of
the MVP
Kamuela: certainly as a competitor
to existing odesk businesses,
the project will shape itself around
the interests of its customers. but what initially or conceptually is wrong with
the odesk style?
punkman: just
take everythign
they do, and do it
the opposite way
punkman: Kamuela, having some experience in
the matter, I'd recommend against copying
the odesks and
the elances
Kamuela: well, I'll ftfy: "either way,
there's really no rush for I, pete_dushenski,
to help get your idea off
the ground"
pete_dushenski: to do it well, you'd be well served
to get in
the wot and spend
the next 6-12 months reading every line of logs and getting
to know
the people around here
pete_dushenski: Kamuela: either way,
there's really no rush
to get your idea off
the ground
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo was kind of disappointed
that
the Feds addressed me by my slave name << lmao
BingoBoingo: TomServo:
They asked for my forum name and I gave it
to
them after some reluctance
pete_dushenski: Kamuela: it must be
that every member of ethereum has a long history of proven success right? << it must be nothing of
the sort and is in fact quite
that
punkman: BingoBoingo: did
they say "BingoBoingo" at any point?

☟︎ TomServo: BingoBoingo: I would've been
thrilled if
they used Atruk instead of BingoBoingo. :P
BingoBoingo was kind of disappointed
that
the Feds addressed me by my slave name
Kamuela: yeah maybe it's a bad
thing
to mention, i don't want
to be lumped into
that "ether"
Kamuela: because i'm
the guy here asking
Kamuela: many less
tangible projects have gotten ridiculous levels of funding, and i am DOING
the legwork
to make
this happen. so when you ask what qualifies me, well, it's because i'm
the guy DOING something
Kamuela: it must be
that every member of ethereum has a long history of proven success right?
Kamuela: far from being combative, i'm looking
to understand where you're coming from
Kamuela: and a better question would be: why would I be crowdfunding if i didn't see marginal success somewhere else? it's usually cheaper
to get funding within your own circle
Kamuela: pete_dushenski: who else is committed? have you heard of another project
to do
this? i'd be both willing
to contribute and cease competitive efforts if you could point me in
that direction
kakobrekla: not
too long ago someone pasted how its more about location
than your cast.
pete_dushenski: Kamuela: not looking
to sell out? 1) why not? 2)
tough
thing
to prove
pete_dushenski: Kamuela: why am i
the one? because i'm committed
to keeping it useful for people as far as it can be
taken. i'm not looking
to grow and sell out. my interests are aligned with keeping it one of
the most decentralized ways
to act in
the BTC economy << "committed" is in no way a skill as it's here presented any more
than a grade school student is committed
to not getting an F.
pete_dushenski: Kamuela: you also need
to solve
the problem of "what is Bitcoin useful for" << classic. like SDRs should buy
tacos nao
thestringpuller: i shouldn't have said specifically Si, but more like
the gold and silver also stored in
the IC's
jurov: re: melting Si - can't
the purified Si monocrystal substrate reused
to make another IC? asciilifeform what do you
think?
jborkl: not
to be mistaken with
the 1 ham burglar
jborkl: oh,
they were hit by
the 1cat burglar
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski:
there is a saying: Loyalty
to
the End do you know what it means?
mike_c_on_the_ro: mod6: fixed.. going
to dig into root cause when I get home. sorry for
the hiccup.
pete_dushenski: xanthyos: ;;rate danielpbarron -1 fickle with his friends, uses
the bible
to justify being disloyal << o_O drama
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: decimation so
taleb's mistake is
that he's being a BANAL asshole ? << he does get a lot of
the "o
this is nothing new" retort
pete_dushenski: decimation: asciilifeform: "it pattern-matches 'derp' and
throws my concentration" << yeah I have
the same experience. << you gents need better filters!
assbot: How I was wrong : Cuckolding, or a story about sigmas pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol, you read Kvant ?!?! << who is
this man, what sort of devil is he?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu:
taleb << asciilifeform of course, who else?
BingoBoingo wonders how much
time
they will invest in
trying
to figure out
the Devcoin
thing
BingoBoingo: Also Hollywood lied.
The FBI agent was wearing a black business suit, but instead a white polo and khakis.
assbot: Last
trade for S.MPOE on MPEX was at 0.00064393 BTC [+]
BingoBoingo: mike_c_on_the_ro: Prolly. After I
take a shower.
BingoBoingo: My impression of
them before
the badges cam out was
they might be process servers come
to harass me over student load debt.
BingoBoingo: Really weird
thing was
the Agents suggesting
that I'd never expect
them
to find me. I DON"T WORK
THAT HARD
TO KEEP ANONYMOUS. I just do
the minimum
to keep poor kids in shitholes from harassing me into giving
them money.
BingoBoingo: So I'm looking like a fucking sweaty unkempt hobo meeting with
these guys in
the front lawn.
BingoBoingo: The shitty
thing about
the ordeal on
them asking about
the goddamned Silk Road I didn't use was
their knocking woke me up from my day-slumber
mod6: heh, no worries. just a heads up from
this weekend.
ben_vulpes: <gribble> Rating entry successful. Your rating for user danielpbarron has changed from 8
to -1. << now
that's nuts. 8
to -1? you people need
to move more slowly with your ratings.
mike_c_on_the_ro: mod6:;;later
tell mike_c need help with WoL << what can I do you for?
BingoBoingo: I'm like if you want
to
talk shady sports betting sites
that ran with user money... I know a couple. Fucking bitcoinsports.eu
BingoBoingo: They were prolly so insistent because it would suck
to be
them and drive all of
the way down here
to meet with a person as boring as myself.
BingoBoingo: ARE
THERE NO FBI OR
TREASURY AGENTS IN ST LOUIS.
BingoBoingo: These agents apparently came all
the way down from fucking Peoria,
the one's card says.
BingoBoingo did not spot where
they had a actually parked
their Gasenwagen
TheNewDeal: it's
true, all unkempt hair & bearders at one
time used
the silk road
BingoBoingo: The seemed so fucking incredulous
that I with my unkempt hair and beard, could have somehow not used
the silk road
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: BTCPak was kind of a Gyp, but at
the
time it was
the only
thing
that really.... Seemed reliable
TheNewDeal: did
they give you a decent exchange rate
TheNewDeal: if we can't
trace it exactly... it's gotta be underground
BingoBoingo: Seriously
the kept saying suggesting everything in
the Bitcoin was shady
Tor related stuff.
BingoBoingo is
thankful he managed
to avoid
the whole Silk Road
thing.
BingoBoingo: Duffer1:
They said because it looks so anonymous.
BingoBoingo: It was an Pasty Irish FBI agent who didn't want
to stand in
the sun and a
Treasury agent
Duffer1: i wonder what makes
them believe
there's a connection
BingoBoingo: At
the
time CoinBase wasn't a
thing I'd heard of
BingoBoingo: It was a site, you send Bitcoin
they sent prepaid reload codes.
Duffer1: yea never heard of
that one
BingoBoingo: It was all
TSR and possible connections between it and BTCPak
Duffer1: did
they ask about your own bitcoin holdings?
BingoBoingo: I
tried
to explain
the stupid Devcoin
thing I used
to get Bitcoins.
BingoBoingo: Nope, we stood in
the front yard and
talked
BingoBoingo: Nah, Just let
them in on all of my nothing I knew about a connection
they suspected between DBordello's BTCPack and
The Silk Road
