los_pantalones: i
thought
the market should have rallied on
the auction news, it wasn't necessarily clear how
they would sell
the coins
mike_c: <+mircea_popescu> mike_c more or lesss stable it seems << yeah,
that surprises me. i would
think it would be sliding
towards no instead of staying stable.
jurov: yes.. i got no explanation
then.
mircea_popescu: jurov kinda nonsensical. if he dumps
the price he gets competition.
assbot: This is just about everyone on
the Internet pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
jurov: mike_c i don't understand
the sentiment, either... rather suspect someone hopes
to win
the auction and is
tryng
to dump
the price
los_pantalones: mike_c i've noticed a lot of people arguing
that everyone who buys in
the auction is going
to sell into
the market

mircea_popescu: "The company will publish financial statements and certified audits frequently
to make calculation of operating expenses
transparent."
mircea_popescu: i dun recall
them actually delivering 5k of
the
things,
they had a limited supply prolly bought off some suprluss deal.
mircea_popescu: pankkake how many coins would
that be? <<
the early (only) bfl delivered miners were commercial fpgas, so you know... a lot.
mircea_popescu: "we also knew what chips bfl had sanded off in 2013 way back in 2011, which allowed us
to beat
them
to
the punch by
two years but keep quiet about it"
pankkake: also, why would
they need
to raise funds
mircea_popescu: "we of course can not offer any documentation
to
this claim, nor have we learned
to gpg yet, because
this is all very common of big
ticker 2012 miners"
pankkake: Our first larger scale immersion cooled cluster consisted of 6048 Xilinx®Spartan-6 FPGAs in 24
tanks and was built in early 2012 with
the Bitcoin still below $5.
mircea_popescu: "During years of engineering
time, we have built a network of partners, resources and contacts in Asia, Europe and
the USA." yet
the best
they could do was still havelock.

ThickAsThieves: if document is genuine,

telling

to stfu / ignoring
them

to say based on Opportunity costs

BingoBoingo: Hard
to say if it aged Reagan or if he had a lucid moment after year 2. Cater was afraid of rabbits.
BingoBoingo: It happened
to W. less so
to Clinton because Interns.
mircea_popescu: looks like erzsebet bathory's ballet
troupe. "send your girl over, we'll suck her blood and leave an empty husk within five years".
BingoBoingo: Also... who are his daughters dating...
That has
to age him
too.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You have
to realize everything he does is
the near opposite of what you enjoy and consider healthy
mircea_popescu: i dunno what can do
that
to a man, outside of smoking rocks
BingoBoingo: I
though
that was just 6 years of knowing he sucks aged him.
mircea_popescu: look at
that man. he went in
there all plump and looking 35. a decade later he looks 60
BingoBoingo: He could have Kept Bin Laden busy
through
the 90's like Reagan did
through
the 1980's
BingoBoingo: It's still satisfying
to say 9/11 was HW's fault
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
that'd have required people with something other
than cotton between
their ears living and breathing in washington
mircea_popescu: o yeah, and of
the ~50bn spent on reconstruction (1% of
total, or 10x
the benefits) pretty much nothing of any use was built.
mircea_popescu: NOT worth it. in fact, if
the usg simply invested its 7trn budget into bitcointalk "investments"
the us would be ahead
today
BingoBoingo: I
though at least a full
trillion disappeared into
the hole and graft...
mircea_popescu: this includes ~ 100k ak guns missing, about half a
trillion in disappeared funds, including billions paid
to known outright washington graft
mircea_popescu: and since we're discussing
the war in iraq, let's debunk some common myths.
the us has spent close
to 2
trillion on it so far, which balloons
to 7
trillion if you count interest payments, as
the us is flat broke (the affair will be paid for by 2055ish).
BingoBoingo: So how do we spec "i'll give you even odds on kurdish holocaust vs kurdish independence any
time" for BitBet?
BingoBoingo: Well, UN sort of Statehood is, but
they can prolly keep
this feudal de fact autonomy going a few decades. Also UN sort of statehood is on its way out.
mircea_popescu: i'll give you even odds on kurdish holocaust vs kurdish independence any
time.
BingoBoingo: At
the moment
though Iraqi Kurds have money,
they actually like
the hardware
the US left
them, and
Turkey prolly wants
to
trim its welfare rolls...
mircea_popescu: the notion of any sort of kurdish state would require commitment
to
the level of 100k boots on
the ground for a few years, and
then ongoing support a la israel.
BingoBoingo: Sure,
they probably
take
the south.
The Kurds keep
the productive north. Isis keeps
the bullshit parts.
BingoBoingo: It's why I'm leaning
towards predicting partition.
BingoBoingo: Malaki paid ~1200 soldiers
to keep his boys in Baghdad from deserting.
mircea_popescu: the us paid ~500mn
to boost online reputation of white house official.

decimation: "If you want peace, be ready for war. If you want
to encourage aggressors, disarm."
nubbins`: [01:04:30] <+bitstein> ;;rate napedia 8 Close friend from Austin,
TX BTC meetup. Wicked smart. Lots of privilege.
decimation: right, but
the point is
that a realistic nuclear attack isn't going
to be much more damaging
than conventional bombs if defenses are prepared
Mats_cd03: uh and
the
trillions in infrastructure damage?
decimation: this is an inconvienent fact if you want
to hype
the bomb into a mega-weapon in order
to manipulate
the masses into supporting your "peace programs"
decimation: it's a bit wordy, but
the bottom line is
that civil defense against nuclear weapons is extremely effective
assbot: Declassified effects of nuclear weapons and other
threats: minimizing weapons effects on civilians
decimation: perhaps
the fate of
the US is
to have a "russian 90's" and
then see a putin-like figure arise. I kinda doubt it
though, because of
the intense allergy us folk have
to anyone
telling
them what
to do
decimation: yeah and
the elites know it, even if only in
the hindbrain
