dub: as recently as a couple of months ago when I challenged him on his rampant gox shilling he claimed to have no attachment beyond fanboy
dub: <bbrox> Look you are blinded by BitCoin as is Peter Schiff by Gold and Greenspan by the Dollar. I am saying Trading LiteCoin has Advantage a) and Advantage b). I did my due dilligence and I know
dub: but yeah, LL can add as much 'land' as they like to a point
pankkake: as legal tender?
ozbot: Lamborghini Newport Beach Blog: We just sold our very first vehicle with Bitcoin as legal tender
Namworld: [15:03] <jurov`> and once on coinbr account, you'll be free to odo with them as you please
jurov`: and once on coinbr account, you'll be free to odo with them as you please
jurov`: stephengandel: the info on the forum is obsolete, as the lot changed from 1BTC into 0.1BTC
stephengandel: Sorry, not go down as in price, but not available, as in right now?
Vexual: The party is going after corruption among Chinese officials. Even though the party needs to clean up, it needs to give its own members an exit plan, as too much prosecution would make the people think that the party is completely corrupt.
nubbins`: the flavor is just too good as it is
KRS|gotyawallet: thats the main point of the article, nubbins..as i read it
jurov`: stephengandel: no, coinbr allows you to write options under the same conditions as mpex
stephengandel: is wrote an option the same as selling a call?
mike_c: right, if you are shorting you want to only buy as many bitcoins as it takes to buy the number of options you want
mike_c: ThickAsThieves: you don't need margin to write/sell options on mpex. you just put up btc as collateral.
jurov`: puts as O.USD.P***
stephengandel: OK. But if I bought a put on the 0.USD.C050T on coinbr, I would have to put up .44 of a BTC as collateral?
stephengandel: Is it the same if I go through coinbr as MPEx?
Azelphur: stephengandel: best way is to ask in the channel. It's the cultural norm on IRC, and you'll get the best possible answers as others can correct inaccuracies.
mircea_popescu: well conversely, i don't see the us as much of a point of interest anyway, it's on its last legs as is.
mircea_popescu: as long as there's ppl holding bitcoins, there will be a market to provide them with internet.
mircea_popescu: a polite way of saying it, as "he set her straight, sexually speaking" would be in english
jamespeerless: yeah guess as long as they don't have any way to make money off of it, it won't happen
mircea_popescu: i've had people spend 1000s of hours modelling this point, as it's the one most important point in all bitcoin
mircea_popescu: as long as those big corps don't actually have big btc, they aren't big corps
mircea_popescu: such as the snackman kid.
mircea_popescu: and with "the network accepts it" as pretty much the only measure of good or evil.
mircea_popescu: basically a collection of people with poor iq and worse skills, hanging on because they perceive this as sexy, and imagine hanging on makes them somehow important.
mircea_popescu: 1. bitcoin was released as a prototype. that means something specific, and what it means doesn't include "to be used for any actual purpose". prototypes are there to test.
mircea_popescu: as best as i can determine everyone is on some trunk from .4 to .6 with a bunch of in house patches
mircea_popescu: as he had said he lost his.
KRS|gotyawallet: Mark it down as brokerage fee services on their tab.
BingoBoingo: Namworld: Because your worth as a person is only worth the reputation attached to your Public keys?
asciilifeform: run blockchain; generate as many random addrs as will fit on disk...
asciilifeform: as seen here: http://dinaburg.org/bitsquatting.html
gribble: Nick 'BingoBoingo', with hostmask 'BingoBoingo!~BingoBoin@unaffiliated/bingoboingo', is identified as user BingoBoingo, with GPG key id 309BB8D7F3251143, key fingerprint ADD7A9A28F85E5EF1F51904F309BB8D7F3251143, and bitcoin address None
dub: <snackman> it's creepy as f*ck
mircea_popescu: somewhere in there he failed to account for the fact that having kept his reputation intact for those two years is just about as valuable as having kept his bitcoins for two years.
mircea_popescu: he goes on forum as a week old and is shocked at how mean people are, telling him to do 6 motynhs + of reading before he opens his mouth again
BingoBoingo: Seems for Litecoin devotees this insanity is going to be magnified as CoinDesk has just reprinted so many people's "press releases" about impending litecoin ASICs and if a single manufacterer delivers it will have meant Litecoin skipped that awkward FPGA adolescence while still staying a fraction of a fraction of bitcoin
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform originally this started as a hobbyst project.
ThickAsThieves`: same reason as all scammers i assume
mod6: i used Io once as a a scabble word and was rejected :(
benkay: well gosh snackman read the log for the past 10 days then you might have a clue as to the references
mircea_popescu: (as most wallets don't have any way to associate their payment system to their users)
BingoBoingo: snackman: Dude invented a cryptocurrency and was paranoid as fuck? Satoshi is probably mooching off of pizza rolls someone else's mom bought
BingoBoingo: snackman: The simple answer is to get your bets in much earlier. As close to opening as possible. Just draw a bullseye on a piece of paper and jack off. If more cum is on the right bet yes. On the left bet no.
snackman: beyond*, as typos are made when you're excited
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves`: What's next? Allowing bet creators to specify elliptic curves the bet weight passes through as it degrades over time?
mike_c: same rationale as 3-way resolutions
snackman: Vexual: i klicked on 6 articles to see if the fee counter was a troll, which would have been funny indeed, if not, retarded as fuck
kakobrekla: as all the roads lead to rome, all the questions lead to trilema
mircea_popescu: so is it an actual bond, as in, with a principal and everything ?
gribble: Nick 'BingoBoingo', with hostmask 'BingoBoingo!~BingoBoin@unaffiliated/bingoboingo', is identified as user BingoBoingo, with GPG key id 309BB8D7F3251143, key fingerprint ADD7A9A28F85E5EF1F51904F309BB8D7F3251143, and bitcoin address None
mircea_popescu: mike_c yeah but then it wouldn't be as cool.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Planning anything big for March 2015 when MPEx becomes more than half as old as the Bitcoin network?
BingoBoingo: stephengandel: Yup. Coinbr, the broker does their opions on MPEx. As Mircea says though just holding the bitcoin may be the wiser course of action.
mircea_popescu: think of mpex as the nyse, which is what it is. for most purposes you won't acquire a seat in the pit.
mircea_popescu: well... as safe as it's ever been...
kleeck: "But, as with many things in life, you have to just suck it up and do it, which is why I’m here to make a case for swallowing spooge."
mircea_popescu: KRS|gotyawallet only while pubescent. luc besson got obsessed with her, cast her as joan of arc and she sucked balls.
mircea_popescu: the game is notoriously boring, as far as the actual gameplay goes.
diametric: was a lot of fun, I also played in Goons as well with a few accounts.
ThickAsThieves: cool, i enjoyed my last trip there, but it was a looong time ago, as a touring punk
nubbins`: ThickAsThieves: as east as you can get
dexX7: "Good condition, was only recently redeemed." ... as if the redemption date is linked to the condition :p
ThickAsThieves: you can go to the ghetto and sell them as "stolen bitcoins"
nubbins`: i tried to retard-proof it as best i could
dexX7: haha no, it's fine. as you said, you are filling the demand.
kakobrekla: same as with share count.
mike_c: the ceo spent 14 years as a lecturer. no tenure for him!
ThickAsThieves: "That feature has lead to an inflationary bubble in bitcoin-to-dollar trading, with prices fluctuating largely from one day to the next. As fewer bitcoins become available through mining, new entrants in the market may be limited, making it more difficult for the currency to increase its overall float."
mircea_popescu: but i mean... wait, they;re not being bought to be used as gamingdevices ?
Diablo-D3: as long as they treat their partner with a respect and be part of the community and, well, not have AIDS
Diablo-D3: as many as possible
truffles: so ure atheist as an adult
mircea_popescu: anyway, nobody has to be a slave. it's a voluntary arrangement, and it has its advantages. chief among which that you're about 10x as quick to learn as a slave.
pankkake: "Through fixing this outstanding issue with BitFunder/WeExchange it will be a good thing for Neo & Bee and the Bitcoin community as a whole." :|
KRS|gotyawallet: comparitavely its nothing to me, i easily drink twice as much as I pay him when I go to the strip club on the weekends to see tits.
KRS|gotyawallet: i pay him moar because he works hard, is reliable and very trustworthy..i pay him his equivallent rate as a documented worker.
KRS|gotyawallet: I was just having trouble understanding the worth of labour as it applies to democracy, which is more suited for a discussion about capitalism.
mircea_popescu: but this is the very point at hand : in the republican tyrani around vorkuta she might be discovered as somewhat valuable. in her hometown @ democracy, she's exactly zero.
KRS|gotyawallet: As is everyone who stuffs their bags with blow.
Vexual: and a phd in some bullshit noone wants to read flags you as a kneeler
mircea_popescu: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2013/12/millennial_narcissism_helicopter_parents_are_college_students_bigger_problem.html < take that as a convenient example.
mircea_popescu: you can't escape value as such. it's there whether your current viewpoint hides it or not.
KRS|gotyawallet: On one hand we are talking about value, as it applies to labour which probably applies better to the context of capitalism and on the other hand we're applying that toward a democracy which doesnt necessarily recognize value, but rather mob rule.
mircea_popescu: the process through which the antique adolescens solidified into vir, ie, a man, is the typical increase in value. it includes such experience as killing others, and being responsible for the self in new situations and so on.
mircea_popescu: Vexual yeah, inasmuch as it's done to exhaust the person without any benefit then it's acceptable.
Vexual: double or nothing would be at least twice as funny
mircea_popescu: this is pretty funny, guy now wants to work for me, admits he couldn't do as good a job as thje girl.
Vexual: nintendo were the first to mass produce such accurate pressure sensores as in thw wiifit board
mircea_popescu: in this sense the us rebellion was asymmetric as seen from king george's palace.
asciilifeform: dub: why perforate enemy, take him home as a pet.
asciilifeform: death from the air would be a little scarier if they so much as managed to get gps spoofing off the table.
asciilifeform: the famous (u.s.) drones are very much tooled for unarmed targets that can't afford so much as a binocular.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform mircea_popescu: Well it is run by on of the Googler's spouses so I imagine it will meet the same fate as so many google related projects...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i vaguely recall that as long as the payload is finite, so is the offset
ThickAsThieves: It makes sense to have specialized brain regions, just as it makes sense to have divisions of labor in other areas of life. But why have specialized hemispheres?
