Mats_cd03: the govt has always been willing
to negotiate with
terrorists
chetty: lmao,
that would be cool
mircea_popescu: i wonder if up next is china announcing
that it will sanction any countries
that implement us aml/kyc measures.
mircea_popescu: anyway, proper headline being "taliban scores largest victory
to date, surpassing mpex's previous record"
mircea_popescu: "it'll be our gift
to you,
the biggest diamond we could find for some random anon swine. long live socialism! everything's equal
to everything else!"
chetty: the headlines are very loud about it breaking
the law
too, for what little
thats worth
these days
mircea_popescu: i guess coming up next week, obama promises
the us will never use its nuclear arsenal, as part of
the inauguration of a primary school in a provincial
town in kenya.
mircea_popescu: i
tell you,
they cut
the most important policy pillar over nothing ?! it's beyond comedic.
Mats_cd03: walked off a base
then gets
two soldiers killed in ensuing rescue ops
chetty: yeah except for
the
target now on our backs
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in
the real world... i guess
the secretary of state better be careful
traveling.
mircea_popescu: weak hand administration probably figured "it's win-win" because
they give up five worthless
towelheads which had
to be kept at a per day cost far exceeding
the cost
to rent a private jet.
chetty: Sergeant Bergdahl's recovery is a reminder of America's unwavering commitment
to leave no man or woman in uniform behind on
the battlefield.
mircea_popescu: dude
this should be a book. every chapter's
title could be "and here we punch ourselves in
the face for no reason whatsoever"
chetty: Five of
the Most Dangerous
Taliban Commanders in U.S. Custody Exchanged for American Captive// well americans everywhere are screwed now, us has given up no negotiations policy
mircea_popescu: everyone can has a million dolla
these days. even people affraid of forum retaliationz
mircea_popescu: there is many dodgy scam
things going on at asicminer which has personally costs me over a million dollars"
mircea_popescu: like, firs
tweek, one pm a day per person. next week,
two.
then four. ETC!!11
pankkake: yes; while petty
theft is not my concern
targeted attacks can
mircea_popescu: right. but in
the general
terms, backups sit in between
the constraint described.
pankkake: currently I have
two solutions, which slightly benefit from obscurity
pankkake: I don't have any clear
text backup
mircea_popescu: pankkake: my point is just
that n+1 is much better
than n; just a game of probabilities << yeah,
the game works like
this :
the more backups you have
the more avenues for
theft.
the fewer backups you have,
the more avenues for accidental loss.
fluffypony: then having a million site and customer backups won't help us
to continue functioning immediately
assbot: When God Grabs You By
the Balls
fluffypony: I was
thinking more about some of my business units where physical stock would be destroyed and
the logistics chain would disappear
mircea_popescu: if buenos aires sinks
tomorrow mpex won't be disrupted in any sense. business doesn't mean anything physical unless your business sucks
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: yep - and
the reality is
that a natural disaster
that destroys a city will probably affect your business' ability
to function anyway <<
this is, again,
the nonsense i was rejecting.
mircea_popescu: the people who can't afford
to call
to australia are mary-sue-ing
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: I need
to
threaten someone << no, you just need
to infiltrate
the command centers of your would be "enemies" and
then lead on
their nonsense for lulz and butthurt.
mircea_popescu: assbot: Joshua Zipkin of AMT (Advance Mining
Technologies)
threaten
to kill a fellow Bitcoiner. : Bitcoin << so is
this going
to be
the
talking point of
the militant us left for
the remainder of 2014 ? "bitcoin is bad because bitcoiners kill people" ?
mircea_popescu: artifexd: asciilifeform: Exactly why I'd like
to offload
that
to someone else. << lol i'm sure you';re
the first
that
thought of
that :D
assbot: Bergdahl release arrangement could
threaten
the safety of Americans, Republicans say -
The Washington Post
fluffypony: [14:32:39]
ThomasV: actually I believe I gave my business card
to a journalist from coindesk during
the amsterdam conference
fluffypony: [14:30:36]
ThomasV:
they sent it
to my research address, with a deadline for answering
fluffypony: [14:29:35]
ThomasV: I saw
that email well after
they sent it, because
they did not use my normal email address
fluffypony: what's really funny is
this line: "The person behind Electrum, one of
the other five wallets, also failed
to respond."
mircea_popescu: fluffypony, lol
that'll go over well im sure.
their userbase is just as cash strapped.
mircea_popescu: that's why
they have capital controls in place. it has nothing
to do with banking. it has
to do with how helpless
the avearage argentine is. in an open competition with
the rest of
the world, it'd
take about
three weeks
to bleed
the country dry.
mircea_popescu: i am literally getting a billion dollar idea a day just walking down
the fucking street and noticing
that wait,
they actually don't have x ? bwahahahaha etc.
mircea_popescu: if you can't make a million here,
there's something seriously wrong with your head.
mircea_popescu: the egyptians have more of a clue, and
they're mostly illiterate.
mircea_popescu: argentina is an incredibly rich country populated by
the most pompous, clueless, ineffective and ineffectual people i have encounter in my entire life,
travelling five continents.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Still moonstruck by
the beef?
mircea_popescu: so, for any of
the hungry young wolves out
there : come
to buenos aires.
fluffypony: so
that's how MultiBit is planning on making money

fluffypony: you're
telling me
that's a 300 BTC wall?
jurov: or kako's utter fail he isn't asking more,
too
jurov: Mats_cd03:
they asked us about 1BTC depending on placement ... either it's just opening of
the negotiations
Mats_cd03: My brain read 'counterintelligence
telegraph'
assbot: Lay Me Down -
The Oh Hello's - YouTube
assbot: Solar FREAKIN Roadways, are
they real? - YouTube
pankkake: and losing
the funds would be devastating
pankkake: depends on
the business, something like say Bitbet would be only
temporary
fluffypony: yep - and
the reality is
that a natural disaster
that destroys a city will probably affect your business' ability
to function anyway
pankkake: my point is just
that n+1 is much better
than n; just a game of probabilities
pankkake: and since
they're not done
the same way, it really would have
to a catastrophic failure
to lose it
fluffypony: pankkake: at some point we need
to diverge from
talking about backups-in-general
to
talking about backups-of-Bitcoin-wallets
pankkake: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu storing your only
two backups in
the same city is no doubt risky, but still it's unlikely
that you manage
to salvage none if case of a natural disaster. one of
the reasons I don't
think paper is
the ultimate backup
though

fluffypony: maybe we can have "Riccardo Spagni

to kill Parisian on IRC!" on Reddit next

threaten
to kill a fellow Bitcoiner. : Bitcoin
dignork: benkay: sorry, i
typed into wrong window, we
tried
to play with multisig
transactions on
testnet
artifexd: Eh. Nothing major. I wrote some software many years ago
that still sells enough
to make it worth my
time
to keep
the website up. Making purchases go straight
to bitcoin would be nice.
benkay: what are you doing with
the unwashed masses, artifexd ?
artifexd: Sadly,
the current state of
the unwashed masses on
the internet is
that if one wants
their money, one must deal with
the credit card networks.
benkay: if btc is - and fiat is +
then plastic is chaos and on an entirely different axis orthogonal
to both crypto and fiat somehow
artifexd: Unfortunately
they don't
take plastic. Only wire
transfers and forms of money-by-mail.
artifexd: asciilifeform: Exactly why I'd like
to offload
that
to someone else.
artifexd: There are many payment processors
that
take bitcoin and give
the seller fiat. I'd like
to see a payment processor
that
takes fiat and gives
the seller btc.
