BingoBoingo: Guess who just had
the Feds knock on
their door!
TomServo: I mean assbot quoting
the actual log entry
kakobrekla: it sez right
there, Logged on 10-08-2014 11:09:36
assbot: Logged on 10-08-2014 11:09:36; moiety: I really didn't know what
to say yesterday but I've had
time
to
think now. I will leave
the phone line on for
the remainder of
the
term when I can and update
the blog but I won't be able
to be on IRC. Since I won't be on IRC anymore, if
there is anything I should really know, please leave a message on skype or
the blog.
The reasons being,
this isn't working out for me and I need
to focus on working
to keep
kakobrekla: TheNewDeal she left for undetermined amounts of
t-matter.
Kamuela: kakobrekla: it was me, but i've had
that domain for years and years (previously) and some of
the older stuff definitely reflects being 11 years old!
Kamuela: kakobrekla:
thank you, man, for both
the voice and
that
kakobrekla: (fyi i send everyone
there, even ninjashogun - bad cases get slaughtered sooner or later)
Kamuela: getting out is a bit harder, but something
the initial contractors will shoulder voluntarily
Kamuela: the superniche initial
target market are just Bitcoin supporters and enthusiasts, but ultimately it can compete with something like odesk by undercutting its fees especially as in many places getting into Bitcoin is getting ridiculously easy, meaning obtaining it
Kamuela: speculating?
that's it? one of
the biggest uses of currency is in
transaction and
the building of capital. we have some stock markets and
that's great and will continue
to grow along with 2.0 uses, but as a currency it needs
to facilitate real
trade
assbot: trixisowned comments on With
the mtgox fiasco being long forgotten, Mark Karpeles launches a new business, "forever.net" selling VPS, VoIP & dedicated servers: bitcoin is NOT accepted.
Kamuela: you also need
to solve
the problem of "what is Bitcoin useful for"
Kamuela: you're always subject
to a bank at a cash exchange
Kamuela: the
technology isn't decentralized first, but
the idea
that anyone can offer services and receive Bitcoin as compensation is
the most decentralized of all exchanges, imo
Kamuela: initially it isn't, it's a single-server application. but ultimately i will seek
to develop many methods of access via alternate and distributed networks
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
Kamuela: someone who shares
the interests of many for a Bitcoin work market, a go-to for both supplemental and potentially off-grid lifestyles
Kamuela: and for it
to be
truly competitive
to something like odesk, it will need
to be flexible enough
to establish itself in an overseas jurisdiction only when completely necessary. meaning dealing in USD first and setting up a bank account makes it legally complex from
the getgo
kakobrekla: ok so who are you and what makes you
think you are
theoretically capable of running such a
thing?
Kamuela: i'd like
to keep it within bitcoin's community and equity based because everything else is a crock of sh** honestly. it's not fair
to give people merchandise and coupons for something
that's going
to generate revenue
thestringpuller: so you come
to us #b-a
this
the day of our daughter's wedding
Kamuela: i could attempt
to develop it myself, but my skills
there are really crap. i have designs and nearing full use cases for
the MVP
kakobrekla: so you wanna be
the ceo and pay someone
to code something up?
Kamuela: I'm in
talks with differential
to do it in
the meteor framework
Kamuela: briefly, a bitcoin work market a la odesk. development
team ready
Kamuela: i'm
trying
to figure out
the best way
to crowdfund a bitcoin project. i really want
to give equity and profit-sharing because i
think anything else is BS
nubbins`: meantime, your 5 posters should be printed and mailed out within
the next week or so
kakobrekla: that is not even
the point for a while now.
kakobrekla: yeah mp, we
totaly pwnd you. next
time just say lol!
nubbins`: suppose
the molten rock is rising
to
the
top of
the cone, but has not yet reached it
nubbins`: although
this does bring us
to
the question of how you can
throw
things into magma
kakobrekla: if you can
throw
things into it (-> air exposed) <
that is your ASSumption . i didnt say lava.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: re: irc - perhaps
the conformal servers?
mircea_popescu: this is a lulzy proposition, but
too complex a point
to
try and explain it. cheaper
to just let people
try and pick up
the pieces later.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1: looks like he was credited, but i can't
tell what
the website is supposed
to be << best i can determine, it's aiming
to be a b-a without
the ba, predicated on
the
theory
that you can somehow have ideologically neutral sources of power.
mircea_popescu: pankkake: uh, if Bitcoin is
the French revolution, I'm out <<
the discussion was
to amplitude. it is just as large an event. as i say
there, it just happens
to be going
the other way,
that's all.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: what a waste of silicon with such a limited lifespan.... << one of
the more abundant elements and what sand is made out of. i never
thought i'd see one feel sorry ~for silicon~
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: yeah, you can liquidate it by
throwing it in hot magma << if you can
throw
things into it (-> air exposed) it's probably not hot enough
to liquidate Si.
assbot: The
Times January 3 2009 - Imgur
nubbins`: "jon, you're drowning
this man in information" "oh fuck, you're right"
nubbins`: one of
the reasons why i got out while i still could
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if he spent
too long working in some large corp and it... changed him.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`:
tyvm for
the pre-announcement 8) << it's out of
this world how
the guy does
things innit.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: What brings you round
these parts. (apologies If I've asked before, I drink) << i'm stealin gthis one.
mircea_popescu: interesting "When a buy or sell order is submitted,
the ANXBTC platform receives matching orders from an extensive number of buyers and sellers who have registered as part of
the ANX Open Dealer Network. " << "we selftrade. deal with it"
fluffypony: so it doesn't really matter who issues
them :)
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> it seems decent - based out of Hong Kong, so
that's
their primary market
the cards are backed by a bank in Poland << so weirdly contradictory.
TheNewDeal: the only article not written by
the
two site people is
the one from pete_d
pankkake: some of
them were first published
there yes
Kamuela: figured
they were born on
the site
Kamuela: content
that wasn't republished from somewhere else. am i
totally wrong? do all
those cite
their original sources?
Kamuela: not saying
they're more
than essays
though or
that
the main focus of
that area is lots of content
Kamuela: ah yeah, same here. you said blog aggregator
though, which is why i said
that it seemed
they were original articles, which
they are, right?
Kamuela: TheNewDeal: we may be
talking about
two different
things
TheNewDeal: about 3/4 of
them are written by
two of
the site "Director of Research" or "Treasurer"
Kamuela: TheNewDeal: is it? i was under
the impression mempool was all original articles
Duffer1: looks like he was credited, but i can't
tell what
the website is supposed
to be
Kamuela: I'm
trying
to fix chrome so I can show you lol,
the process refuses
to die
Kamuela: did I probably butcher
the real name? lol let me
try
to get
the link. give me a moment
to delete my chrome profile...
Kamuela: I read
the article on nakamotoinstitute
that mentioned
this channel
Kamuela: trying
to open chrome on mint... and nothing happens. it's like
trying
to start a car with a dead battery
TheNewDeal: I was reading an article
the other day
that
the founder/owner created it after helping mark karpeles run mt gox
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] [PAID] 2.54147348 BTC
to 1`149`988 shares, 221 satoshi per share
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 1.58037915 BTC
to 14`987 shares, 10545 satoshi per share
pankkake: was
that expensive or did no one
think about buying
those?
assbot: imgur:
the simple image sharer
artifexd: ;;later
tell mike_c Any
thoughts on why S.MPOE has fallen off a cliff?
pankkake: uh, if Bitcoin is
the French revolution, I'm out
ben_vulpes: <BlueMeanie4> some of
these bitcoin people are reminiscint of
the french revolution. for a few weeks
they
thought
they could completely redesign
the whole universe. <<
that party did rewrite
the rules, and bitcoin'll do
the same.
jborkl: but I do not really know, just looking at
the ones under my desk and
they look like
trash
jborkl: I am not sure on
that one 100%, I don't
think
there is anything worth it
thestringpuller: I was just wondering because I used
to do IT for a company
that would buy large amounts of old CPU's, and sell
them
to recyclers who would extract precious metals from
them.
jborkl: but current gen i
think
trash
jborkl: mine is in
the closet,
the fpgas retained value since
they could be retasked
kakobrekla: yeah, you can liquidate it by
throwing it in hot magma
thestringpuller: or would
their be a way
to recycle
the components in some kinda "liquidation event"?
