mircea_popescu: hopefully the x's anonymize enough.
peterl: jurov: how do coinbr refferals get paid? is it added up monthly or shown every time a commission is earned?
mircea_popescu: meh too short

fluffypony: I'll be sure to take pikshas

Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: maybe Im thinking of someone else
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 i thought clinton perm-ragequit after you told him to fuck off.
Diablo-D3 is glad he quit the bitcoin fake company ipo drama storm shit
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla see, they know they really shouldn't have that coin. so they hope that whoever took it from them is giving it a nice home
Diablo-D3: I thought he perm-ragequit after I told him to fuck off
kakobrekla: i guess ukyo cant comment, he is out of tcp packets.
kakobrekla: >>That would be great. I hope Ukyo disclose more info in the portal. I remember that Ukyo mentioned there's a new business would be kickstarted this month?
kakobrekla: >Ukyo can you explain why you havent payed any dividend at all after the closure of Bitfunder ? Are you using the coins to turn them into more, like turning 1 btc into 1.1 btc every month or something ?
kakobrekla: >what the f*ck, there is no cog share on HL now ,where is my share??
mircea_popescu: ah ok ty
fluffypony: so I'd hazard that the issue is localised to them
fluffypony: and https redirects to http
mircea_popescu: from a concerned reader : "say you been to bitcoincharts lately? i'm concerned about a certificate warning that pops up, disappears, pops up again, no matter what is clicked, and which stops if javascript is disabled."
mircea_popescu: while the philosophy involved may be arguable, i'm pretty sure that sales of books via ipads and whatnot are counted as ipad revenue, not "books" revenue
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves and srsly push fdor it cause the guild is huge and i could defo need some help with organising shit
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: than books? People buy books with apples,
cazalla: it's pitched as a sandboxy type mmo
cazalla: never played that either
ThickAsThieves: i was watching the videos
ThickAsThieves: “Grand Theft Auto V not only hit $1 billion in sales faster than the fastest-grossing videogame, it beat the three biggest film launches of all time by 16 days.”
CheckDavid: So apple generates more revenue than books?
ThickAsThieves: down like 10% I think it said

ThickAsThieves: the total value of the global video game industry is projected to be $78.5 billion for 2012.
ThickAsThieves: but this is better:
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves btw, were you looking for this graph https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BnPU927CQAENJQ5.png ?
mircea_popescu: anyone know this pete earle fellow ?
mircea_popescu: ruthlessly idiotic. that's a new one.
mircea_popescu: ~ done spamming with trolls ~
mircea_popescu: 50%+1 of the population would do fine in "life", if only life was... the story of rapunzel.
mircea_popescu: so... the lower class brain is now... adapted to this counterfactual reality.
mircea_popescu: it happens to heroines mostly, once they take the cock, usually.
mircea_popescu: this "happiness horizon" when "everything would just fall into place in every aspect of my lyf" is a very old very common fiction trope
mircea_popescu: in fiction, there's a scenario and a director, and they conspire to alter reality a certain way.
mircea_popescu: these days most of the brains input for the lower classes is fiction, ie, entertainment.
mircea_popescu: these are very different, even if cyberneticists keep wanting to represent the brain as a computor.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony the problem is fucking deeper than that. see, the brain is not made to work, it's made to adapt.
skinnkavaj: ThickAsThieves: I think mircea_popescu is just spamming here with trolls and insults to everyone trying to have a good discussion. Please stop.. I really liked this channel before
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: who needs chance and careful planning when you can just wish that everything would fall into place
ThickAsThieves: there's nothing much worth sharing from the board meetings
mircea_popescu: "Gabbie Brown @Gabbiebrown · 5h Wishing that everything would just fall into place in every aspect of my life." << check it out, i'm following the only unique snowflake of brilliant potence on twitter. nyah.
ThickAsThieves: you dont even need to talk
ThickAsThieves: skinnkavaj, if you just lurk here for a few mos, you'll be miles ahead of the forum
skinnkavaj: ThickAsThieves: Do you have more information from ASicminer board meetings or are you not allowed of copy pasting that?
mircea_popescu: skinnkavaj no, because you eschew the actual discussion in favour of ridoinkulous formalisms.
fluffypony: oh asciilifeform will like this: http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/09/westerners-guide-to-japanese-toilets/
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves what's the 8ball say about when will the last noob try badgering you about nonsense ?
fluffypony: asking someone for their opinion on a specific issue is fine
skinnkavaj: Thats why I am in this channel
skinnkavaj: About the companies
skinnkavaj: Would really like to have more dicussions
fluffypony: lol ThickAsThieves
mircea_popescu: in small enough qty, filth is actually helpful for the healthy body
skinnkavaj: Yes trolling and downing people is really boring
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess the one true gain from this discussion is a lesson as to how downing people may be bad for debate and the marketplace of ideas.
mircea_popescu: ;;rate gribble 1 possibly the best fake-BTC-stock analyst out there.
fluffypony: skinnkavaj: you can also use this for investment advice: http://www.ask8ball.net
mircea_popescu: he has this "i do not see" device from socialist training in what passes for education these days, and he knows he's supposed to apply it selectively,
ThickAsThieves: [08:21] <skinnkavaj> I hate to use Gribble
mircea_popescu: fluffypony he doesn't see why gribble should have said that.
fluffypony: "[14:43:24] +gribble: The answer is a resounding no."
skinnkavaj: ThickAsThieves: So in that case, do you think Rockminer is a better investment than Asicminer? yes/no?
mircea_popescu: "Leading toilet maker Toto refers to itself as the Apple of toilet tech." mwahaha
mircea_popescu: so there's still hope for my vlog then
skinnkavaj: So far I fail to see why Asicminer suddenly has become corrupt/dishonest
skinnkavaj: They told that Rockminer would have to buy chips from Asicminer at the same price as everyone else
mircea_popescu: the latter can probably be identified by how they keep crashing into poles.
mircea_popescu: i am coming to this theory that there are two types of people in the world : the ones whose brain is a train engine, and the ones whose brain is a combustion engine. the former can be readily ideintified by the fact that their mental processes move on tracks, no matter the engine's horsepower.
skinnkavaj: ThickAsThieves: Do you think Rockminer is a better investment if so?
mircea_popescu: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BnRTjF8CYAAxpnM.jpg asciilifeform check out that truck! best looking truck i've seen.
ThickAsThieves: they measured how much fuck they should give with the Rockminer IPO
skinnkavaj: ThickAsThieves: They did before?
ThickAsThieves: so you are crossing your fingers that some mystery men in china give a fuck about shareholders
skinnkavaj: ThickAsThieves: "all the board cares about is their own franchises" Like what franchises?
fluffypony: and Rockminer makes the money
ThickAsThieves: all the board cares about is their own franchises, which are all going into the red right about now
fluffypony: so they operate ASICMINER as a zero-sum game
mircea_popescu: so is this a purely academic discussion then ?
mircea_popescu: what could you possibly offer them that'd make them care.
skinnkavaj: I think they have a good chance of 20% of the network
mircea_popescu: more's the point, if they doi produce the best batch on the market again, why would they want to split the proceeds with you ?
skinnkavaj: Delivering 102 petahash over the next 3 months
skinnkavaj: If they successfully manage to keep their promises now
ThickAsThieves: isnt this batch already barely on par with the market?
skinnkavaj: If they once again produce the best chips on the market
ThickAsThieves: it's that i dont see how owning stock would be worth it even if they did
