mircea_popescu: colinistheman things change over time
colinistheman: the court case statements back that up
colinistheman: that's the out-ethics behind the scenes which is making everything late
colinistheman: Actually I do not believe they are mining with our hardware. I have been following fairly closely on what is going on
colinistheman: Did you join in the woods law firm court case?
asciilifeform: re: bfl - the sad part is that the entire mining industry, afaik, is based on exactly this kind of chumpatron. and if outright take-money-and-run merits two years of parole, what does, e.g. six month deliberate 'we mine with your hardware' merit? harsh words?
colinistheman: Oh, you wrote that :)
mircea_popescu: colinistheman get in the wot will you ?
colinistheman: mircea_popescu: to answer your question, I run www.knives4bitcoin.com

assbot: The tragic, explosive crash of a stolen Tesla – Quartz
decimation: In case no one has seen: http://qz.com/231178/the-tragic-explosive-crash-of-a-stolen-tesla/ << some dumbfuck stole a tesla model S, rammed a pole at ~100 mph, cut the car in half; it caught fire

indiancandy1: duffer its worth my time
decimation: "imma make you environmental technology, email me monies"
asciilifeform: decimation: this is SOP already
decimation: re: "anti-environmentalists" << a true anti-environmentalist would construct a chumpatron to bleed environmentalist chumps

ThickAsThieves: no one told them the onion was a joke?

punkman: it's not even dollars, "To ensure realcoins retain their value at one dollar, the firm will maintain a real-time record of its dollar-based reserves, all held in conservative investments"
ThickAsThieves: "Realcoin will use a Bitcoin 2.0 software protocol known as Mastercoin" the pain!
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves notice that's sorta started to go away ?
asciilifeform: pierce << ideal example of the animal described on one of mircea_popescu's essays - he could be packed into prison for life, any time, based on what's in his file. so he does as instructed. ☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves that guy really gets things.
BingoBoingo: You still call the Bondsman, because they actually "solve the problem"
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> I thought if you got into trouble you called the Bondsman because the cops were there << not everyone is from chicago.

ThickAsThieves: brought to you by Brock Pierce
assbot: Dollar-Backed Digital Currency Aims to Fix Bitcoins Volatility Dilemma - MoneyBeat - WSJ

BingoBoingo: I thought most cellphones did a mix of the two
asciilifeform: (technically not simply gps, but tower triangulation on top)
mircea_popescu: like tor, but for sms.
mircea_popescu: now that's a disruptive service someone should do. decentralize sms identification.
indiancandy1: there was a big ring of pedofiles on there
indiancandy1: thats how you enter its to keep the pedos out

mircea_popescu: indiancandy1 welcome to the world of hard work.
indiancandy1: for that vid
asciilifeform: point wouldn't be to drop the diff, but to ensure that next block goes to one of yours
ThickAsThieves: would need to hold it for a month
mircea_popescu: diff is stil the same, how do you think this helps you ? longer blocks ?
assbot: The tale of /CoinJelly, false statements and journalistic failures: http://t.co/uLpRJfFBaV
mircea_popescu: indiancandy1 i have no idea, whatever whoever is normally buying them from you pays for a bitcoin, divided by 10
asciilifeform: if you can stop all miners but yours - for a given interval - you can plunder blocks at far below the expected energy cost ☟︎
indiancandy1: what is that in dollars
mircea_popescu: making the miners stop is useless economically.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just know where to confiscate it from.
asciilifeform: gps < difficult - but not impossible - to fit. and what'd be the point? throttle the core unless standing in warehouse XX?

mircea_popescu: indiancandy1 what difference does it make ? i want the guy to join here, i don't care about a bunch of indians that have no bitcoin.
asciilifeform: if you can arrange for, say, the entire crop of 'bfl' units to spin their wheels fruitlessly during known time intervals, your own miners (presumably exempt) can be scheduled to run then and precisely then ☟︎
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> ThickAsThieves still got a tardstalk acct btw ? /// it exists, sometimes i check on my watchlist or click in thru reddit, otherwise i dont go there

indiancandy1: on all top digital platforms
asciilifeform: time for gedankenexperiment. what payload would be 'useful' in a miner core (vs. the controller, which is normally a standard micro and relatively simple to audit) ?
mircea_popescu: it really makes little diff, if you notice that tweet got like 2.2k retrweets.
indiancandy1: she got 168 twitter followrs
