mircea_popescu: "The freedom
to apply for a job at your partner's workplace without worrying
that others will
think you only got
the job because of your partner."
GunPlay: my nick comes from playing first person shooters a lot back in
the day
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Most amputees around here any more...
Tend
to be amputees because of conditions manifesting in
the skin.
mircea_popescu: so here's a business idea : go by hospitals with
trauma centers, buy amputated parts off amputees in order
to cure
the skin and make real human skin items
nubbins`: the weather's been really nice
this week, and it has awakened a deep
thirst
mircea_popescu: so put up a poster : wanna hang out here but
too hip
to afford it ? call me.
benkay: but i guess
the shit's
too expensive for
the students, as
there's not a school-aged soul in
the place during work hours
benkay: i stop in, figuring - hey, art school, coffee, wine, surely
there will be some cuties around
benkay: the local art school - Pacific Northwest College of Smoking Cigarettes and Being a Hipster opened up a new dorm downtown with a neat little cafe in
the bottom.
benkay: i figure -assets will notice, and
that's all
that really matters.
benkay: at one point, one of
the side goals was
to leave a hole in
the internet when i got disappeared, but now i'm just working on getting out of dodge.
benkay: i don't really care
to put my life online either.
benkay: i also don't have anything
to say about
things anymore.
assbot: How
to make money on
the Internet while pretending you know what you’re
talking about and accumulating a legion of mindless followers - for fun and profit! pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: so can keiser. you were here when
the a/b
trick was explained no ?
mircea_popescu: if nobody publihes anything mr foreskinhead can continue
to pretend like he's "advising" "clients".
benkay: <mircea_popescu> because it makes it more difficult for
the mediocres. // pardon? i
thought reducing asymmetry made for more efficient markets.
BingoBoingo: Oh, it is
the parts of
the information you flatten
that matter
benkay: don't really see why i should flatten out
the information asymmetry either.
benkay: i'd rather write emails instructing clients on
the correct course of action and get paid for such
than...blog.
benkay: gotta
take
that
thing down.
assbot: Colonia, Uruguay pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
benkay: man do you just write a post and
then purge it from your brain?
benkay: mircea_popescu:
that's not
thoth?
pankkake: my second choice was dagny
too
mircea_popescu: pankkake i
took
that
test in spite of it starting with a retarded question. "Your
top match for Which Atlas Shrugged character are you? is: John Galt"
BingoBoingo: 2 Death No 4, 37 Small, prolly really set
the stage...
benkay: <mike_c> whoever got
that pre-game bet in on death is killing it // ohyou.png
mike_c: life is very scattered. needs some good bombs
to connect
those islands
BingoBoingo: I suspect
the earliest bombs really set
the stage
though
BingoBoingo: There's still
time for life
to
try something bombwise in a sustained manner.
BingoBoingo doesn't know who could have seeded
the death pot...
mike_c: whoever got
that pre-game bet in on death is killing it
mike_c: there have been some good fights for
the bombs, but death's have been more effective.

mircea_popescu: hey, it's namworld's friend we're
talking about. che c'entro io
mircea_popescu: i guess
the date
the guy got caught must have been misreported
then.
benkay: well gosh am i really
talking
to
the real mp?
benkay: and if you can't make a
torturing go on for a week...
benkay: a week isn't a beating,
that's
torture.
mircea_popescu: you can probably not
take a whole week doing it, but
then again most schmucks wouldn't last a week anyway.
mircea_popescu: exactly how beaten up should a would-be robber/etc be before he's been beaten up
too much is a matter
the courts never quite carved out.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> only
thing missing is bitbets about mpif nav << building
the finances of a nation here naimean ?
mircea_popescu: don't have a
team of lawyers on each fucking continent ? stfu, bitcoin is not for you. etc.
mircea_popescu: can't afford security detail ? stfu, do something else with your
time. bitcoin is not for you.
mircea_popescu: it goes like
this : you wanna play with
the adults, you gotta wear adult breeches.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, you're running into what i'll call from now on
the andreas proble,
mircea_popescu: <Namworld> access
to Coinroll. Now I have harm
threats and guy says he doesn't care I'm neither owner nor have access
to Coinroll's wallet. I have
to pay up from my personal money or I won't live... << so
tell him
the same lol
Namworld: mircea_popescu, if it's not
too indiscrete
to ask, with
the fortune you've accumulated in BTC so far, haven't you received
threats/extortion demands so far?
Namworld: Most news article about Bitcoin and especially "what is
the future/good for BTC" is stupid, fluffypony
davout: "do no coinbase users know" <<<
that sentence could have stopped right here
assbot: The Coinbase Blog
The Future of Bitcoin Storage: Wallets + Vaults
Namworld: One
thing I know I'd have
to disclose is any income/profit, obviously.
The
taxman will want a cut.
Namworld: I might have
to disclose it. Something I'll have
to investigate how
to do.
Namworld: Maybe one could prosecute me because it's not registered. Maybe some zealous prosecutor could
try
to argue I'm an owner. But it wouldn't make much sense. It wouldn't close
the business nor prevent operations.
jurov: are you required
to disclose such investment?
Namworld: Aka, I can't own/operate most BTC
things in Canada without license. But
there's never been anything preventing investment in legal foreign companies...
Namworld: Well it might be potentially illegal in Canada
to operate. But it's not illegal in all jurisdiction and as far as I know, foreign investment is not forbidden.
Namworld: It's not different. I can't operate Coinroll in Canada, hence why I refused
to
take it over. Scrat offered it for free
to me and someone else. Me being in Canada and other in US, we refused.
jurov: "no control" i see, but investment and/or cooperation still falls under
that law?
Namworld: yes, legal
threats are obviously easy. Doubt it would fly in court when I have no control on Coinroll. Would probably be instantly dismissed, I hope.
jurov: i don't disagree, you just happen
to be most visible and in a country with most prone law system
Namworld: I'm surprised jurov/wao haven't received
threats already. I'm sure
they'll start coming in from random people soon enough.
jurov: benkay gotta put some specially crafted bet related
to mpif
to close
the loop
benkay: kyuupichan: what's going on with blockchain
today?
Namworld: It's not gonna magically make his money appear. If he's serious he can just come
to beat me and rob me, but it wouldn't be really any different
than any other house robbery.
benkay: only
thing missing is bitbets about mpif nav
benkay: urgh bitbet and mpif are now so
tangled
davout: no no,
that's
trying
to use some sort of logic, just "fuck off" i meant
Namworld: I
told him basically just
that.
That's his
threats are pointless and not at
the right
target.
davout: Namworld: well, pay him or
tell him
to fuck off i guess
Namworld: He doesn't show up
tho. All I get is IRC
threats and addresses
to make payments
to...
Namworld: I have my address right
there on whois.
The guy has known it for months.
Namworld: @justusranvier Yes about exchange rate, apparently so. I've
told
the guy he didn't make sense. I'm not
the one owning him and if he wanted
to extort someone,
there's better
targets
that are just as public.
davout: Namworld: meh, if
the guy is
that retarded how do you expect him
to gather your address from your facebook
Namworld: Some retards do,
thinking it's actually a good idea. Fortunately
that's not
too common...
davout: Namworld: retards don't actually do
the
things
they
threaten about
justusranvier: As
the exchange rate of Bitcoin increases, so will
the incentive of
those who are inclined
to use extortion, kidnapping, ransom, lawsuits, etc in order
to obtain it.
Namworld: They all sounded alike... not sure if I should laugh, or fear a retard actually showing up... Even if he comes for me,
the guy will still be a retard.
Namworld: access
to Coinroll. Now I have harm
threats and guy says he doesn't care I'm neither owner nor have access
to Coinroll's wallet. I have
to pay up from my personal money or I won't live...
Namworld: There was a guy who at first claimed his son gambled his BTC on Coinroll, it's illegal, refund it. Was very insisting.
Then another claimed Scrat stole
the money and laundered it on his website (no idea how he knew
the address his "stolen" BTC went
to was a Coinroll address).
Then some guy
threatening legal action
to me directly, having dug up my info. I
told him I don't own or have
Namworld: I don't really hide my idendity. Never have, never wanted
to. Anymore
than mircea
tries
to hide anything about who he is. I don't have anything
to hide. If I wanted something not known, it wouldn't be known.
