monolithik: well, I'm just not sure of the gain you get from using the cryptocurrency over a regular REIT. I feel like a coin makes sense when the actual work to be performed is computational in nature, such as verifying transactions, storing data, etc.
Duffer1: which could be a huge problem in the states unless you register as a money transmitter
kakobrekla: slovenia just put out a guidance for personal taxes and bitcoin. all trading and stuff is as it was tax free, mining is however taxed, on the paper.

kakobrekla: when im logged in i see him as +57 or something
mircea_popescu: (locklin being the new way to say dumb, as per http://trilema.com/2013/how-to-fail-the-scott-locklin-method/ )
mircea_popescu: many years later these shackles will be presented as a symbol of opression,
benkay`: this appeared in a conversation about e-cigarettes recently, where the idea of regulating these vaporizing devices was broadly hailed in the room as a grand thing.
mike_c: i will take the silence as "yes, idiot, everyone already knew that".
pankkake: I don't particularly enjoy abortion-as-contraception
mircea_popescu: after the strauss debacle, the us as much as trying this will result in the respective agents being shot on the spot.
mircea_popescu: hardly anything else than proof as to how the usg is impotent and pointless.
monolithik: As far back as 1994 on the cypherpunk mailing list, people questioned whether szabo was a real person
jurov: such as dogecoin mkt cap > btc?
mircea_popescu: But oh no! Here comes the Legion of Evil: Dr von Trope, The Dog Kicker, The Chessmaster, Superdick, Mr. Macekre, and the Brotherhood of Bowdlerization, Sir Jerkass, and the villainous Mary Sue! Together they'll bring about The End of the World as We Know It...
Vexual: i think it was poescue who said you need three people to be sucessful as an individual these days
ozbot: NEWSFLASH BEN BERNANKE originally wrote MILEY CYRUS’S hit song WE CAN’T STOP as a FEDzlz mission
benkay: http://greatbooksformen.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/newsflash-ben-bernanke-originally-wrote-miley-cyruss-hit-song-we-cant-stop-as-a-fedzlz-mission-statetemenstz-lzzoizzlzoz/
benkay: i could just as well have written 'one'
benkay: it is the fate of all who do not grok their computation platforms to forever wail and thrash in incompetent rage at their continuing inability to do business and acquire as much capital as their self-image indicates they should have
benkay: it may as well say "because he's an idiot who doesn't understand the bitcoin protocol"
benkay: now as part of a jewelry, discreet and all, that might be an interesting thing.
benkay: sounds ugly as fuck
benkay: "I saw JR Willet present at Bitcoin 2013 conference in San Jose. He struck me as an honest guy, well intentioned, and smart. That's why I don't think Mastercoin is a scam."
ivstr28: oz your reasoning is the same as the blog I posted?
benkay: "Thus, a Russian is less likely to consider sudden descent into pverty as a fall from God's grace, and economic collapse as God's punishment upon the people, while the religions that dominate America - Protestentatism, Judaism, Islam - all feature temporal success of their followers as a key piece of evidence that god is well-disposed to them."
mircea_popescu: they stopped getting it just as it started tumbling.
benkay: i'm interested in the notion of cheating as a prerequisite for success, and how most americans don't get this. gotta be a part of the socialist thought repression...
benkay: you're not just cribbing from IRC but your own past posts as well
asciilifeform: same as every country that bought MIGs. 'yes, ussr, sole source of spare parts, now owns our arse. enjoy it please'
asciilifeform: the only conclusion is that its clients became such as: a gesture of submission.
mod6: asciilifeform: you mean, you can build 1000 bridges and always be known as a 'bridge-builder' but if you suck 1 dick, you'll always be known as a cocksucker?
mod6: With the news about RSA/NSA/BSafe and that they put in a backdoored Dual ECC RNG as default in the rolling key fob, I hardly imagine the demand for a trustworthy and open-source producer of cryptographic devices.
asciilifeform: metastability problem is solved by every gate having a 'inputs are ready' signal as well as inputs
mircea_popescu: isn't it the case that the situation summarizes as "the russki folks came up with the idea of trying out alternative logix, made the setun, proved thereby the thing is a waste of time" ?
mircea_popescu: might as well fill the seats so to speak
mircea_popescu: apparently "we switched true and false around notwithstanding this breaks the logic / arithmetic superimposition" isn't quite as big
pankkake: everything is the cloud as long as you say cloud
Vexual: as long as you can afofrd an eight ball of crystal youll be fine jeff
dj_jazzy_jeff_: no twitter action as far as i know
Vexual: well for the journalists on the channel, i think 0.9 is being touted as something solid
Vexual: no i met some hot 18yo lezzos coming out of an aa meeting once and thought about it, but australia is a bit like russia, it's pretty easy to function as an alcoholic
Duffer1: same thing with that as well, can't even eat stuff cooked with alcohol
benkay: s3 as trade interface
jurov: (as opposed to 0.004 in oregon)
[\]: might as well sell them a 486
kakobrekla: ok so i cant figure out which box is connected as kakobreklaaa
Namworld: Try showing coinbase the transaction out was sent to bitbet and it came back as a winning bet, if it happens you win.
Namworld: Not really. How would you prove you sent that transaction? You can't. A screenshot isn't good enough. I could make a screenshot and edit it 50 times for all amounts and claim all bets as mine.
mircea_popescu: zach_ as long as you control the destination address, you'll be fine.
knotwork: The north pole is probably a big aerial for christmas ham radio anyway as well as a faster than light communicator so Santa can stay in touch with the Ms. wheil delivering prezzies.
knotwork: web and net are different, web is just another thing that uses the net as transport, much like bitcoin is
mircea_popescu: no, inasmuch as the internet is not a republic.
mircea_popescu: and any government that asserts any sort of infringement on teh republic of bitcoin's sovereignity, such as by purporting to "tax" bitcoins or to "regulate" mining etc is thereby declaring war, and will feel the full wrath and might of said republic.
ThickAsThieves: They can be bought using, of course, Bitcoin, as well as other irreversible and semi-anonymous ways of sending money including Litecoin
ThickAsThieves: Bitcoin, as well as other irreversible and semi-anonymous ways of sending money including Litecoin, WebMoney, PerfectMoney, and traditional wire transfers.
BingoBoingo: fiat500: Why shouldn't you be ale to change the system as it runs?
fiat500: the problem arises where a newer, more efficient implementation is found at some point, and the internal structure of the string must change (consider it getting generalized to a rope, as an extreme and ridiculous example)
fiat500: if you think of objects as just structs with function pointers, its hard to argue that an object is an inappropriate way to represent state in a stateful system
benkay: yeah i just can't accept FB as an example of a mature and sustained development environment delivering business value.
benkay: first, OOP is designed to get people hammering keyboards as quickly as possible, which is orthogonal to teaching humans how computers actually work.
fiat500: fb fits that description, and fb is really good at using say - haskell - as the right tool for some of their internal analytics
BingoBoingo: Well, generally generic BigCorp wants fungible workers, and they generally use blub as a tool to keep workers fungible.
benkay: obviously, i don't know anything about anything and my 'advice' on programming matters should be regarded as highly suspect
Duffer1: seems like they're trying to increase volatility to get better margins as they fleece suckers on cryptsy
asciilifeform: pizzaman1337: hard to say 'best', but there are several which appear to work 'as printed on the box.'
mike_c: so you can play as normal, except it hints you what to press next
mike_c: this is educational as well. i am surprised at the patterns that fool it.
mircea_popescu: irc is your life. you will honor it as if it iwere your life.
mircea_popescu: (mpex shares are non voting. as a result, the operator has to maintain majority)
the20year: Depends on terms, i'd love to raise more capital via shares, as long as I can keep some equity in it, but i'd prefer just standard bank leverage
mircea_popescu: you get better anal sex when the girl regards taking it in the ass as her own, personal victory.
pankkake: the fun thing is that those things are usually claimed as own "victories" from the left!
mircea_popescu: his idea was that people will have incentive to keep killing each other so as to avoid ponzi effects.
the20year: Guess I was confused as to the list
mircea_popescu: as long as they're people dun matter where they're born or what function they get.
the20year: I thought you were talking about herbert, as edgar wasn't president
mircea_popescu: but obviously no conflict in human history was between the good and the evil. even if no conflict in human history failed being depicted as such. by both sides, of course.
mircea_popescu: but as it is, lincoln carries it.
the20year: (With war leadups being my complaint) as far as it is in US schools
Duffer1: or bush as a more modern example :P
the20year: Essentially his quote was that he, nor anyone he knew in the south fought for slavery, but against federalism. And that it would be replaced with slavery as time went on since education in the south would likely be federalized by notherners
Duffer1: macro economics isn't as eye catching as the horrors of slavery
mircea_popescu: but the southerner recognised an extremely varied and complex hierarchy. black = slave = chattel is about as oversimplified as one can get.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 souther racism as you know it today is wholly the creation of the war.
the20year: And it's not like slavery was only existant in the US, as with anything ,money drives the gears
mircea_popescu: TomServo roosevelt probably not in there, as shocking as that may seem. hoover for sure tho.
mircea_popescu: if the slavery question were allowed to die out rather than used as a pretext for a war, you wouldn't still be fighting over the mason-dixon line in 2013 ffs.
mircea_popescu: just out of nowhere, like that. basically electricity is about as ubiquitous as cunt, and i guess crypto is electricity porn
mircea_popescu: which sounds a lot like the romanian "scirt," which means "big whoop" which as stephen fry would put it, works.
mircea_popescu: as they've copied all the bad ideas the french ever had since about 1905
jurov: it's named so there as well
nubbins`: and as much as i'd love wood, i'd love to continue having home insurance even more
mircea_popescu: the judgement of the business pivots on the judgement of the guy, as it's tghat small. he seems clever and dilligent but how do you ever know.
mircea_popescu: peterL you're not getting gypped quite as bad as the average.
mircea_popescu: think, millionaire in the 3rd world, never used as much as a real estate agent.
Duffer1: wouldn't matter even if we did use such a system, housing as you pointed out is is obscenely expensive
mircea_popescu: not to mention you idiots - as there's no better name - still don't use torrens.
mircea_popescu: mike_c california and ny stand out as exceptions
jborkl: Profit in as little as 60 secondsWORK FROM HOME & EARN AS MUCH AS $60 TO $100
