mircea_popescu: they even market all
these miracle-curing sulphurous mineral waters.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: pure salt is.
The impurities give it
the weird extra flavours. I mean some I'm not cool with.
There's
this weird black salt
that has a lot of sulphur in it.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: lol no, but its extraction is hugely labour-intensive.. same as lots of
things in our world
that have disappeared because nobody's willing or able
to go
to
the effort anymore
dub: mircea_popescu: just
the balls
dub: im gonna have
to man up and put some pants on
midnightmagic: there are some weird salts
that are hand-mined and prepared in china
too.
They highlight one in a show called "Taste of China".

that bread and og dumplings

to know a chinese person. I got some great stuff smuggled out. :-D

tsao and such
benkay: <bitstein> Somewhat related, I'm working on an article about how merchants are just scammers
trying
to swindle you out of your bitcoins. // i'm starting
to like you
nubbins`: started humming about actually duplicating
them
too
nubbins`: reason i'm wondering is we got a job producing cd jackets etc for a band, and we're printing on
the discs
copumpkin: that's cause nobody else wants
them either
copumpkin: hell, I can't even remember
the last
time I handled physical media
nubbins`: but
they're fuckin cheap. like under 3btc
BingoBoingo: Fuck it, Imma walk over
to
the county fair and grab some chikin livers

benkay: nubbins`: hit
the lawyer
turn off
the gym, facebook up?
benkay: at least urbit had code in
the wild, has ether achieved
that yet?
mircea_popescu: it's going
to do great
things in novel ways just as soon as someone does it.
mircea_popescu: not
the sort of
thing
that really needs
to be read by
too many people anyway.
BingoBoingo: I guess
that people will have
to read other places
that he is suspected of being
the lead USG plant
BingoBoingo: But if he didn't submit himself
to civilization
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Ah, I
though I'd give him
the "UnsavoryGarnish, Vegetable" ninjashogun and gmaxwell earned
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> What was Hearn's nick? << i don't recall he ever managing
to figure out
the gpg arcana. i imagine he'll first have
to implement a google code version,
that doesn't work.
BingoBoingo: benkay: Not
that
they've released. Apparently
the presale ether goes in
their genesis block
benkay: BingoBoingo: still no software
then i gather
mircea_popescu: much like
the life of andreas derpopowhatever, except
two years earlier
benkay: BingoBoingo: is
this ether coin a btc fork or...
mircea_popescu: this is a dispute where a consumate gofer (ie, gmaxwell) is
trying
to veer
their naivity into some sort of political relevance for himself, gets called out and
then stomped out.
mircea_popescu: but anyway,
this isn't in any sense a dispute pitting flaming social justice warriors and other braindamaged kids
trying
to make
the world "liberal" a la copumpkin against cold hard reality.
mircea_popescu: obviously
the fact
that
time has meanwhile proven my points doesn't in any sense help.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well,
this whole ether huffing
thing smells just like
the mastercoin "sell coin now" and
then "release anything eventually"
assbot: The froth of our days pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: benkay o, i don't imagine his recent derpage has any substance
to it, merely him
trying his best at crafting effectual calumny.
benkay: having failed
to read my fair share of fine print in
the past.
benkay: just wondering what fine print he failed
to read.
BingoBoingo: Well, it was just last week
the link dropped here of an aspiring HYIP scammer who lost a whole BTC
to malware he
though would let him cheat a pasted
together gambling site.
mircea_popescu: mike_c in
this case,
the only significant amount of btc is in
the hands of
the idiots
trying
to fraudulently prop an ipo scam visible from
the moon, in some sort of misplaced delusion of legal immunity.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Yeah, a big problem in
this space is still sound/look a like names.
mike_c: BingoBoingo: yeah, it didn't seem completely retarded. i had attached some of
that feeling
to
this ethereum
thingy. didn't realize it was just a complete nothing.
mike_c: i didn't
think we were
there yet.
mike_c: well, are you proposing
that
there is no longer significant # of btc in
the hands of idiots?
mircea_popescu: mike_c right, because nobody with any btc reads
the logs, or reddit, or
twitter.
mike_c: jurov is a big fan. unless i dreamt all
this.
mike_c: da fuck am i
thinking of? mycelium, etherwhoizt. what
the fuck is
that node-less wallet
thingy?
BingoBoingo: Then it will pretend
to be a something before becoming a nothing again
mike_c: also, it's possible
they didn't know about
the better offer yet.
BingoBoingo: Wait,
there's a wallet
thing
that does
that?
mircea_popescu: o wait,
they're all sent off
the same software which simply substracts
the same mining fee from
the
txn ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, very merkley??? looking shit, except minus either
the
talent or
the interest
BingoBoingo: "I would encourage you
to finish before
the majority of your committee members retire. (seriously.)" << Roflmao, I know a between one and
two hand full of countable fingers of
these people.
assbot: Brenda Ann Kenneally documents life below
the poverty line in
Troy, York in her documentary project, Upstate Girls.
bitstein: I'll pass on a draft later on. I have school in
the way right now.
bitstein: Yes,
that's
the hyperbolic summary.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Other side of
the state. A few hundred miles from Chiraq
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it being ill,
they'll prolly shoot someone with it.
bitstein: Somewhat related, I'm working on an article about how merchants are just scammers
trying
to swindle you out of your bitcoins.
BingoBoingo: Pretty sure
that catsup bottle can be dressed up as an MPEx dildo
FoOdies: I like
this place, it's all kinds of weird
mircea_popescu: "o, could never do
that". well ? why not ? whoi's

the bums how

FoOdies: until

trading asset
