benkay: (i'm just stoking
the american
tech gender fight. don't mind me.)
mircea_popescu: "The post was written by a guest blogger but
the veracity of every aspect of
the story has been verified by Blogger Clarissa."
TheNewDeal: the brk-a bet has gone from a 2.X%
to 6.8% in like one week
mircea_popescu: which is
the only "aspect" in which
the glass ceiling is meaningful anyway
mircea_popescu: somehow i doubt she made more money
than
the best men in whatever she misrepresents her field as being
mircea_popescu: "I have crashed
the glass ceiling in every aspect of my life."

mircea_popescu: my fucking curse is
that i need months
to understand what
the fuck i'm saying in my own articles.
mircea_popescu: first sentence ? "Point 1 : #bitcoin-assets is
the forum."
assbot: A compendium of basic points about Bitcoin for
the benefit of various confused noobs. pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
assbot: punking MS users via
the blockchain
benkay: i don't know
that
the model works, but it's worth your looks and
thoughts.
benkay: it looks like a stab at monetizing
the link aggregator.

fluffypony: "Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our
two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency"
mircea_popescu: you'll never collect,
they'll get killed before you ever could.
fluffypony: thestringpuller:
that which prevents a competitor from
taking over
mircea_popescu: <Shakespeare> well I guess its big when you consider
they could eat cpinbase's lunch << sure, until someone else eats its lunch.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Circle is just Coinbase with different VC shills pumping it. << poretty much. and
the fact
they both exist indicates quite clearly why neither will succeed.
fluffypony: Quanttek: I
think
they'll snag new users with
the zero-fee buy, and I suppose 2FA is common enough
that users won't have a problem with it
fluffypony: mike_c:
TAT is going
to do
the same
thing for
the Altcoin promo vid, just watch
Quanttek: I personally
think
that circle may have advanced security features, but
they didn't
thought of
the usual laziness of users, especially newbies
mike_c: classic bs video crap. just keep randomly switching between camera head-on and camera
to
the side. cuz it's cool when
the person
talking
to you isn't looking at you.
fluffypony: Shakespeare: I don't doubt
that for a second
Shakespeare: well I guess its big when you consider
they could eat cpinbase's lunch
fluffypony: Shakespeare: it's still meh for all
the hype
pankkake: I'm going
to buy food, back in a few minutes
fluffypony: at least
the hipster article I made benkay read made sense
fluffypony: why did I just waste 4 minutes watching
this video
mircea_popescu: fluffypony it's a vc money pit looking for new ways
to justify why it's not delivering anything
fluffypony: Shakespeare: so
this Circle
thing is just an overblown web-wallet?
fluffypony: I mean, besides actually playing
the game
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: is
there a way for me
to follow what's going on in
the game so I can confuse
things? :-P
benkay: fluffypony: what does Apple have
to do with anything?
benkay: some of
them may even not be scams some day, kakobrekla
kakobrekla: anyway,
the point i was
trying
to make, altscams are here
to stay
benkay: i just want a phone number
that i own via gpg.
fluffypony: mike_c: it's for
their guild, we're not cool enough
to join
pankkake: yeah, just
the ip, it's
the default port
mike_c: #b-a in voice! somebody stream
that.
mircea_popescu: i ask cause im gonna put it in guild wall so what do i need
to specx ? just
the ip ?
pankkake: install mumble, connect
to
the server, and
that is all

Tutorials
fluffypony: kakobrekla: did you read
that Nautiluscoin article
that was linked yesterday?
kakobrekla: seems
to have lot of similar properties, satoshi prices, dumb investors, poor investors, mostly scams, pump and dumps, nobody except for launchers/brokers making money
BingoBoingo: ng
they hadn’t provided
the majority. I wonder if he’d
tolerate me asking if
they’d rent some hashes
to ATC…" Shakespeare
BingoBoingo: "3:15: I went over
to
the BitFury booth again and asked
the man how much hashpower
they have shipped
to date. He stared, so I asked again. Looking like he caught a
their, he smirked and said, “Why do you want
to know
that? You want
to know how much money we make, what?” I said no,
that I’m just interested
to know how much hashpower is out
there because of
them, nothing nefarious. He wouldn’t say any answer other
than hinti
mircea_popescu: not much confidence in
the "gpu resistence"
theory huh
fluffypony: block reward is also interesting, started at 20 I
think (blocks every minute)
Quanttek: that's probably monero's biggest challenge: fixing
the code and making
the code more readable
kakobrekla: basically
this altcoin market is now same as penny stocks market or what
fluffypony: but in principle it's interesting, a lot more interesting
than CNBC-COIN
fluffypony: and
there's
tons of poorly written code
that is being fixed
fluffypony: so
the RPC API is fucked and incomplete
fluffypony: and
transactions are grouped with similar
transactions in
the mixin
fluffypony: and you can specify a mixin count for a
transaction
fluffypony: mostly because it uses ring signatures for
transactions
Apocalyptic: and I see "inflation
to preserve mining incentives"
Quanttek: well. it's an algorith called cryptonight, which uses a big cratchpad and some advantages of cpu, so it is atm only cpu and gpu won't be
that much faster
fluffypony: pankkake:
there was a shitcoin called Bytecoin
that nobody pid any attention
to
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SCRYPT] [PAID] 16.86679648 BTC
to 29`438 shares, 57296 satoshi per share
pankkake: oh well. I mined some bytecoin but
the wallet has a bug so I can't access
them
kakobrekla: so
they finally ran out of altcoin names
Apocalyptic: btw not so smart
to choose a name
that close
to an established s.a.
Quanttek: pankkake: kind of, but bytecoin got 2 years premined and obfuscated and complicated
the code for advantages for
the devs. get's probably dumped, when
the price rises. also we have an active development (miner is 10times faster + pool +gui + exchanges)
assbot: [NEW CURRENCY] Maria 2.0 was banned, here is her proof.
The birth of Bytecoin!
pankkake: why monero and not bytecoin? aren't
they
the same
thing basically?
Quanttek: mircea_popescu: prolly
the biggest anonymous cryptocurrency (if you don't coun dark, because scammy and more privat
then anonym)
