BingoBoingo: There's a difference between
that and
the forumer seeking a fortune.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah. You bet
though
tto prove a point.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: See, I can respect certain kinds of gambling like picky sports betting and BitBet. I can't comprehend people who bet against RNGs
though. Seems like
the fastest way
to provide someone else a steady income.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: I swear
the most useful side effect of recommending a 6 month reading and waiting period is
to sort out
the fucking Dice addicts. << on
the first
tier fo sho.
fluffypony: I feel like arguing with Usagi has
taken 2 days off my lifespan.
fluffypony: you know how
they bitch about smoking and
they're like "every pack
takes 2 days off your lifespan" ?
benkay: filter
the market with capital barriers,
then.
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's more like "you show yourself
to be a bad person by arguing with usagi"
fluffypony: "I HAVE SO MANY PLANS. SECRET PLANS. AMAZING BUT HIDDEN PLANS. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. YOU. DON'T. EVEN. KNOW. AND YOU COULD'VE HAD A PIECE OF
THE ACTION BECAUSE I AM A BENEVOLENT GOD AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU BUT I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU A PIECE. AND NOW YOU FUCKED
THAT UP. SO SORRY FOR YOU!" - Usagi, 2014
mircea_popescu: soon enough
the expense of distinguishing becomes prohibitive, and
the society is split :
the very rich, who can afford freedom
mircea_popescu: in a free market anything goes, right ? including
that paralyzing nonsense.
mircea_popescu: whenever some wild eye enthusiast extols "free market"
to me ima link
them
to usagi.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony Do you have any concept of
the moral high ground? You
think you've won some kind of game here -- but you have no idea what you lost, do you?
BingoBoingo: tokyopotato: If you have an extra hard drive or machine giving a *nix a
try might be useful. I've heard a lot of complaints of GPG4win just not... working...
tokyopotato: i really just needed
to have a pubkey for
the authentication
BingoBoingo: 0.5.11 is
the last version I can stand, before
too many unfeatures got
tacked on...
tokyopotato: i
tried registering... used multibit wallet address... but gribble wouldn't recognize
the authentication
benkay: figure out
the web of
trust yet?
assbot: BMF has lost access
to it's wallet [UnModerated]
pankkake: I don't have anything
that is not software encrypted
Mats_cd03: i hope its not
the only one
though
Mats_cd03: security
through obscurity is a legit layer of defense
pankkake: this serves my intended purpose
though, making
tampering with it harder
pankkake: the other secure part is how you need
tiny fingers
to enter
the PIN :)
pankkake: the most secure part was
the package, crappy plastic shell
pankkake: I
think it was you and him yeah
benkay: or was
that dotcoin...
benkay: <deanclkclk> plus mircea_popescu offerd
to vet my code lol //
that'd have been me.
Namworld: Funny
thing, arbitrage is normally between 2 markets. For BTC,
there's a large price difference on a single market.
Namworld: That's why I say
there hasn't been as much good arbitrage opportunity. Havelock ain't much good.

Namworld: Too bad I sunk most of
those profits into BitVPS which needed servers and everything
to no avail. BTC price rose
too much afterward.
kakobrekla: anyway, people had
too much coin at
the
time
mircea_popescu: "As for substance abuse I'll admit I like
to have a few beers, But for
the most part I stay off
the drugs as of late."
mircea_popescu: Namworld ^
that'd explain
to you why
they
tend
to be quiet.
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough,
this is actually an offense in
the western world.
mircea_popescu: there's people doing
this
thing with ponzis (politely known as "hyip") where
they send money and
try
to
take it back out before everyone else.
Namworld: No, of course, but I only hear of failed funds. Certainly some people in here did it with some kind of success?
They're just not as public since investing for
themselves. Was looking
to hear about any such person.
kakobrekla: early day of glbse, whatever you put your money in was a winner after a week and a complete lose after
two.
mircea_popescu: Namworld a question a little like "am i
the only one who won
the lottery"
Namworld: There's not a lot of
that since GLBSE/BitFunder/etc
tho
Namworld: It's not
too bad when you don't hold large amounts over extended period but flip shares on
the large price difference.
fluffypony: Namworld: I'm
too scared
to even buy in
to shoddy shares
Namworld: Reading
trilema can be fun. Am I
the only one who had some actual success
trading shoddy shares? Who else in here managed
to
trade a profit?
mircea_popescu: anyway, yes, generally speaking physical exhaustion. i guess walking can be
the same as a spirited bout of skanko-roman wrestling.
punkman: yeah denmark and
the netherlands are rather wonderful for cycling
Namworld: I wend
to Denmark once... so much cycling space, so few cars.
punkman: but it's nice when
the 4x4 don't
try
to run me over
punkman: can barely keep
the streets paved
Namworld: Walking is nice. Or cycling. Unless you're downtown in a place with no cycling accomodations.
Then no cycling.
pankkake: walks work for me. last
time of great stress I walked around for a few hours
Namworld: Not
that it doesn't have any effect, but because anything
that alters my mind and makes it hard for me
to
think clearly
tends
to enrage me.
danielpbarron: Naphex, won't find sympathy from me;
the cannabis in my local is probably worse
Namworld: cannabis wouldn't work for me. I'm kind of relax naturally. Give me anything
that alters my mind and I'm no longer going
to be happy.
danielpbarron: <+Naphex> so what is
the best cure for rage? << if
The Bible ain't your
thing,
try cannabis
Naphex: that will
turn me on a killing spree
Naphex: so what is
the best cure for rage?

Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
punkman: they actually label
the denatured stuff as "lamp/lighting" alcohol
mircea_popescu: i don't recall whatexactly burn product of methylen blue is dubious but
there was something
punkman: I use
the denatured stuff for
that
mircea_popescu: it's actually a much better (safer) fire starter
than gasoline
punkman: can get it in supermarkets/pharmacies here, but it costs 9 eur for 250ml now with all
the new
taxes, ridiculous
mircea_popescu: i mean you could also get it in romania, liter bottles of
triple distilled grain alcohol. but in specialist shops.
mircea_popescu: it's not denaturated
to
the degree
that
the label lists as indications : for rubbing,
mircea_popescu: do you know what is remarkable about rubbing alcohol here in buenos aires ?
the sort sold in pharmacies ?
mircea_popescu: so i have survived
the largest shock in my adult life.
deanclkclk: surprised
that
the responses I've gotten
today are anything but, unfriendly
davout: ;;later
tell mike_c i want a picture of your warface
