fluffypony: if I'm looking to raise BTC-denominated funds privately
as a company (angel investing, really) and don't want to go the IPO route in order to at least somewhat stave off the general discovery of trade secrets (for want of a better term), is there a generally accepted way of doing so? proposal has been drawn up already, just not really sure how one goes about finding BTC angel investor types
mircea_popescu: a but unrelatedly,
as the possibility of intent in large institutional actors.
ThickAsThieves: i could see a bill being passed
as being closer to "shat"
mircea_popescu: who knows, it's like an earthworm. it sorta slugs away but not
as a direct result of any of the ganglions.
ThickAsThieves: ugh "Actually, what is needed is to leave it
as property but add an exemption for the first $X0,000 of gain, which is what other countries are doing, particularly in Europe. That way it can effectively function
as a currency, but investors who go long also get favorable tax treatment."
bounce: brb, there's a tree here
as needs hugging
bounce: clearly not american enough to appreciate that
as a style figure
Naphex: mircea_popescu: might
as well be two, chilling around. might
as well check this place out. has entertaining discussions from what i figured from chat logs
mircea_popescu: then when i say satoshi quit mostly because he didn't want to be involved with these fucktards anymore people act
as if this is somehow controversial.
mircea_popescu: Chris_Sabian it's unconfirmed
as of yet and i can't conveniently see it. you dun goofed ?
jurov:
as if they fear two login attempts per minute
Mats_cd03: i left just
as some of the high speed rails were being built
MisterE: business opportunity abounds in Singapore but it's expensive
as hell
cgcardona_: dude I just got an email from heroku about the ssl bug w/ this
as my list of potentially affected apps: Here are your affected applications:
cgcardona_: There is no such thing
as strong coffee—only weak men.
keonne: One good thing out of all that, I didn't realize that android wallet users PIN codes are stored on bchain servers.
As a result during the outage people weren't able to get into their android wallet with PIN only password. That is totally incorrect, from now on, your PIN will never be sent to our servers, it is hashed and stored locally instead
dexX7: and a strange one ;) blockhashes were all fine, but tx count was wrong and
as mentioned, txs missing
dexX7: transactions were missing. not like an unconfirmed
as in this case, but also historical ones
Namworld: idk why esperanto, seems counter productive. English is already so widely used (Not
as native language but all combined)
MisterE: [20:58:07] MisterD is now known
as MisterE
keonne: mircea_popescu: im curious
as to why you say that
mircea_popescu: "wanna get on your back so
as to insulate me from all this shit ? " "sure!"
mircea_popescu: bounce: hmm... wonder how those bugs ended up in openssl and gnutls. << you needn't wonder. examine the matter plainly : for no appreciable reason, the usg muppets posing
as "core devs" started work to meld pki into bitcoin protocol.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: so
as of now there is no direct evidence "look here rpi is fucked" just a general concern over all products on the shelfs << all PROPRIETARY, closed products.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: RE: Negro speak -> The sleeping bag luffa reference most likely refers to the sponges,
as most american sleeping bags have cheap synthetic interiors and fillings
jurov: i *am* using rpi
as a wallet (with electrum), however:
kakobrekla: so
as of now there is no direct evidence "look here rpi is fucked" just a general concern over all products on the shelfs
kakobrekla: so you are saying diehard will show a nice numbers on rpi
as well
artifexd: I've learned that the raspberry pi has a hardware rng. My current plan is to build use that. I'll Von Neumann it if necessary. Regardless,
as soon
as I get one, I'll use the tools asciilifeform recommended to measure the entropy.
ozbot: ClubOrlov: Business
as usual
MisterE: "White House spokesman Jay Carney echoed that sentiment
as well, saying, “There is strong evidence suggesting some of these [Eastern Ukrainian] demonstrators were paid.”"
mircea_popescu: whilke this approach often creates half-decent "art" (known in this space
as lulz) it neve actually makes a bridge.
cgcardona_: and then I ran a script to sort them by denomination
as well.
bounce: not
as speaker or panelist anyway
bounce: inasmuch
as they're paying to have that job.
thestringpuller: jurov: I am incredibly tempted to book air fare, but
as mod6 isn't going an I wanted to meet up with him there I decided to wait until next year for Series 3
mircea_popescu: well no, you can't go
as press and harrangue the speakers.
mircea_popescu: and all sorts of other interesting questions, such
as how much of the muppets' donations to "the foundation" went to his girlfriend.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, the guy is obviously trying to have someone write him a scamsite. found a decent pretext, but it's about
as convincing
as what kids trying to get you to do their homework come up with.
ThickAsThieves: lol, ironically about 10 years ago I was speaking with the head of the local Chamber of Commerce and she asked me what I thought of blogs (
as PR really). I told her I thought they were silly.
twizt: mp is that u posting
as sproket
Namworld: "Here honey, gamble
as much
as you want. If you need more money, just ask."
Mats_cd03:

kakobrekla: o, audit. well thats a start. can you include liabilities
as well?
bitcoinpete: i'll see if anyone else there can
as readily point out the scammers
as -assets
benkay: tchaw bitcoinpete the chems are the same
as they've always been
bitcoinpete: it's probably to be taken
as seriously
as the greenlist talk
bitcoinpete: prevents me from spending my days doing
as the 18th century jooz,
as mp once put it
bitcoinpete: it's criminal. and frequently prosecuted
as such
bounce: though I don't think da vinci properly classifies
as upper middle class in context
decimation: "Nor was FDR,
as commonly asserted, a "traitor to his class" - anything but it. FDR's beliefs, or at least his speeches (in one so seldom praised for candor, the inference of any actual conviction is at best an exercise of imagination) can indeed be studied
as almost perfect reflections of the intellectual fashions of America's apex upper class, the socialite-socialist aristocracy. These fashions have changed somewhat since 1933, but not that
keonne: I appreciated that feedback though -
as it is clear you arent trying to get
as much out of me
as you can to make your product better
mircea_popescu: the outrage was eventually their undoing, they were banished, socrates was identified
as the guilty party, one removed.
jurov: BingoBoingo signed messages should be protected
as much
as possible from mucking by blogging software
mircea_popescu: now, when people such
as me say the us agencies will have to learn to play ball or not exist,
mircea_popescu: they can then use those on the stripper and prostitution circuits
as extras "cause we're pornstars"
mircea_popescu: so anyway : only recently has tech become respectable, and
as such it couldn't historically afford the huge bezzle-usd load of owning real estate outright.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok. considering the what/how debate
as accepted foundation : at any time there's a number of turkeys and a number of engineers.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: hard to call, really, because the minerals exploration business (
as discussed previously here) is kinda builty to work like this and there do exist occasional legitimate corps that get the brush treatment anyway
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell moiety localbitcoins had some technology-enthusiastic policemen pull some "sting operations", which were kinda lulzy in their braindead stupidity but probably spelled out actual financial and emotional pain for the unfortunate parties to get involved in the bureaucracy's quest to justify its continued existence. i imagine it's gone
as a result.
truffles: the US "gave" the internet to the world so will it be
as easy to seize domains?
ozbot: Let’s try and understand this “no such thing
as bad publicity” thing. pe Trilema - Un blog de
[KS]: BingoBoingo:
as long
as there is no "scientific" pretense.
truffles:
as a rebel without a cause id go anarchy way
bocobit: The world needs dreamers just
as much
as workers
mircea_popescu: it's usually given
as a textbook example of anti-intelectualism in the us.
mircea_popescu: management doesn't yeild
as well to the scientific method, sadly, and spitefully.
decimation:
as would be the case in any time or place I suppose
decimation:
as we have covered before, what this ends up doing is favoring those who in the wot of those who control the printing press
mircea_popescu: yes, this is true. but they are not managers, they're not the sort of people who play the resource allocation game. thus they have no business handling money
as a % of total supply.
decimation: except
as I pointed out awhile ago, there are only 300k EE's in the us total
