fluffypony: "@fluffypony: When you have been here long enough you do learn that not many people with long experience in bitcoin care about WoT and most people who do turn out to be scammers are very happy to be part of Wot.

BingoBoingo: Well. I make the occasional wharf
BingoBoingo: benkay: Sure, at the right time and place Orchiectomy can be a valuable lifesaving procedure, but it is something the sane would never undergo electively.
benkay: every tool has a time and a place.
BingoBoingo: Eh, the cloud, CDN's, et all can burn in hell
benkay: fluffypony: aliyun? my dreams of bringing the cloud to asia have been crushed.

BingoBoingo: fluffypony: I'll let you experience it. This is just the beginning for you.
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: tell me about it
BingoBoingo: The thing about -assets is that eventually the irregularity and unpredictability of when interesting things happens messes with everyone's sleep cycle
fluffypony: thestringpuller: I'm UCT +2, so I'm normally asleep when all the cool stuff happens :)

HeySteve: seems they've gone paranoid
mircea_popescu: HeySteve takes a while for people to digest stuff.
HeySteve: yeah, apparently they're studying virtual reality and other innocuous things for terrism too
fluffypony: HeySteve: the blog post is from yesterday though
HeySteve: CCN or Bloomberg... not sure why Reddit dredged that quote up after ... 6 months at least
HeySteve: Munger said that ages ago though, it's from the same session where Gates called it a "technological tour de force"
mircea_popescu: eh, the guy made headlines plenty of time, and i don't recall that bs
fluffypony: I missed that line
fluffypony: "For those of you unaware, Munger is Warren Buffett’s right hand man, and he made headlines in 2012 when he stated only Jews in Nazi Germany before being thrown on a train to a concentration camp have any reason to buy gold"
mircea_popescu: a hey. dja know the author ?
mircea_popescu: guess who's the rat.
fluffypony: "In any event, Munger called Bitcoin “rat poison” (watch the interview here) and I found his choice of words quite telling. After all, rat poison is used to eliminate dangerous and unsanitary pests, namely rodents. So if Bitcoin is “rat poison,” who are the rats? I’d say the financial system itself. So if Bitcoin is the poison to eliminate the hopelessly corrupt and parasitic financial system I have to agree with Munger. Bitcoin is inde
ozbot: As Wall Street Looks to Copy Bitcoin, The Department of Defense Studies it as a “Terrorist Threatâ

kakobrekla: you people keep breaking my toys :(
fluffypony: "So the 5000+ BTC we crowdfunded to make a chip - turns out it wasn't enough to make a chip. Just enough to pay a nice salary for Ken and all his family for a few years. I'll be dumping my shares at whatever price I can get. Time to move on."
fluffypony: how much did they raise for that? 5k BTC?
fluffypony: well, then.
fluffypony: "Right after we made the the deal with eASIC, hashfast and cointerra came out with their 400 and 500 GH/s chips, after having eASIC run our RTL on their platform and for the minimum number of chips we had to purchase, we did not have enough pre-orders to cover the purchase due to hashfast and cointerra selling 17 Million in machines."

mircea_popescu: sau pe romaneste, turma merge in directia-n care vrea ciobanu', nu in directia-n care behaie oile. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but he who holds the field makes the rules, irrespective of which way the sheep baaa
Naphex: mircea_popescu: until then guys still want too impress girls with moneyz ;]
mircea_popescu: obviously if they wait to submit for that point they will also be taxed, for their stupidity, but hey. fair is fair, suck the cock early on, enthusiastically, or else be bloodied by it later.
mircea_popescu: when any company wishing to transact discovers that any single attgempt to use a fiat system results in a failed transaction and a mountain of paperwork, whereas their competitors are getting through just fine via bitcoin, nothing is optional anymore.
bounce: the abuse of terminology still grates.
mircea_popescu: then gl arguing about the "hackers" "threatening" "bitcoin" when no fiat bank can do anything since last year.
mircea_popescu: and i wouldn't worry too much for the entire haxxorz bullshit. we're pretty much in place by now, if it ever becomes pol;itically expedient or economically productive to do so, the entire obsolete fiat industry can be fully interdicted with little cost and little effort.
mircea_popescu: they're the "no child left behind" minimal bar.
mircea_popescu: well yes. those aren't intended to be bleeding edge,
bounce: and there's the usual "h4xx0rz" mention. thanks so much to the hatted security gangs for that bit of damage.
bounce: oh I dunno. scanned it and didn't see much of anything except all the well-known things they don't like summed up. now I read the whole thing and indeed, little substance. though I suppose that there's still plenty people out there that haven't put the should-be-obvious things together.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was pretty sensible.
mircea_popescu: bounce but srsly, what don't you like about the sec release ?
mircea_popescu: obviously they're making it just enough of a not-priority so as to miss out, that's part and parcel of how governments work.
bounce: how many years then?
bounce: where "working on it" means "stored it on the bottom of a drawer in a disused cabinet"
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: Well, it always has to be explained to me, and then I have to have someone explain the explanation....
mircea_popescu: JERRY: There’s nothing to get.
fluffypony: Naphex: because with the flood of new TLDs Google apparently cares about your tld
mircea_popescu: bounce oh, her. that's too soon really, they're still working on having what i said translated.
mircea_popescu: also it makes sense to limit investment to rich people. because poor people are stupid, and their stupidity hurts the market, not just themselves.
bounce: apparently the land of the free needs to nanny its investors
fluffypony: bounce: I didn't find it overly dramatic or fud? I think it would be better for investors to apply a bit of common sense than get caught up in hype
bounce: (re sec thingy on investor.gov) -- relatedly, why would you require investors to be "accredited" other than as an old boys network protectionist measure?
bounce: hard to see how this news release is much beyond fud. apparently the girl "investigating", didn't do much of the sort.
Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> this is fucking weird, are we being attacked ? // it's the aliens
