fluffypony: "We don't have any inside information
that is not made public."
ThickAsThieves: well
the forum notoriously wants news when
there is none
fluffypony: how could
they do
that without
talking
to
them?
fluffypony: Havelock say "We do hold
the Bitcoins raised during
their offering in escrow and only distribute
those funds as needed."
fluffypony: so
then
the question is - why are MintSpare so quiet but Havelock claim
to be speaking
to
them
fluffypony: then Havelock say "We have been working with Mintspare closely during
the past few months and
they have a bright future ahead of
them.
They should and will start
to post and respond
to requests on
this forum."
ThickAsThieves: <+fluffypony> so Havelock admitted
to insider
trading, of a sort? /// where?
fluffypony: so Havelock admitted
to insider
trading, of a sort?
moiety: perhaps didnt
think
this
through
moiety: might be a slightly wrong route
to go,
taking away from
the manuls and all
mike_c: the worst part of dicks or gtfo is
that
the channel would be flooded with pics immediately..
ThickAsThieves: <+moiety> in #manul-assets it'll be dicks or gtfo btw guys ;P /// lol, best quote of
the day
fluffypony: "All
truths are easy
to understand once
they are discovered;
the point is
to discover
them." - Galileo
benkay: "In
the end,
the Christian Democrats failed
to secure a player and
the Feminist Initiative player had
to decline due
to other commitments."
moiety: i
thought
their preferred speak just consisted of fuck off bitch
fluffypony: moiety: "niggaz" is
the preferred colloquialism
to a manul
moiety: also, is 'guise' safe
to use i wonder or are we all supposed
to be peeps now
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell princessnell hey, what do you know of pando daily ?
mircea_popescu: basically
this guy would like
to be here, but he doesn't know
that here exists, or how
to get here. which, imo, speak
to structural deffect. if he weren't a broken being he wouldn't have
the problem.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the notion
that andreessen is a source or has anything
to say about bitcoin is laughable, but it's also so very cute
mircea_popescu: so let
them fail, miserably and humiliatingly, and from
that failure learn how little shit
they got for brains.
benkay: twitter users can't
think in units of length greater
than 140 characters, and
they labor over each character. i don't want
to suggest we value qlty over qnty but ffs i don't
think
these people can engage in real
time chat style webversations.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell bitcoinpete "Bitcoin is infused with several of Nietzsche’s philosophies."
that's broken. concepts ? ideas ?
mircea_popescu: who knows, maybe it jolts
the dude out of his intellectual complacency and he actually gets informed about btc.
mircea_popescu: yeah, why do something useful,
that's like hard. better
to yak at people about what words
they use.
moiety: mircea_popescu:
the whole idea we can't use 'guys'. i get
this kind of crap all
the
time. also when i use 'dude'. i get feminazis giving me into
trouble and i am female myself.
JorgePasada: Yeah, not sure what
their model is for monetizing
that
bitcoinpete: fluffypony: haha ya,
that was a decent one
mircea_popescu: <benkay>
These operations are run by what you could consider as volunteers << can't
tell if stupid or being ironic << it's idiotic.
FabianB: mircea_popescu:
that was my guess after seeing 19:27 <+thestringpuller> !jd MPIF
fluffypony: bitcoinpete:
this is among my favourite of
the
things you've said - "There’s a baby, its bathwater, and Mastercoin. Let’s just
throw out
the latter
two."
mod6: The Will
to Power was put
together by his sister after his death. Mainly a collection of papers and personal notes. It's good
though.
mod6: The
Twilight of
the Idols,
Thus Spoke Zarathustra and
The Antichrist are all good. I read now and
then from
The Will
to Power.
mod6: any specific
title?
bitcoinpete: i'd never really read nietzsche but he's on
the fuckin money as far as -assets and bitcoin go
TomServo: Maybe you'll get lucky and get sold
to Charter?
benkay: there's already a connection between
two machines sending btc protocol messages back and forth
JorgePasada: It's a network,
there has
to be points of entry
benkay: who d'you
think made
the protocol changes
that broadcast IP addresses with every network message?
benkay: "It’s almost a mistake
that
tracking
today is possible." << not an alert human.
JorgePasada: but in
the middle it's like he's arguing past andreessen
JorgePasada: Eh, it's just frustrating because I've
talked with him about
the bitty coin extensively, and he gets it, and
the conclusion isn't bad at all
benkay: sorry JorgePasada i'm not seeing much worth putting
through my jelly computer in
that medium piece
benkay: "It also glosses over
theft. Because Bitcoin relies entirely on
the private retention of secrets (private keys
that prove ownership of given Bitcoins), a stolen Bitcoin is only
traceable within
the system
to a certain extent, and
thefts of millions and
tens of millions of dollars have already occurred. Because committed
transactions are irreversible, stolen Bitcoins are valuable and nearly laundered." <<
this is bananas.
JorgePasada: specifically in some cases, yeah it's hard when I have 6 girls
to go out with on one friday night, maybe
too many options
JorgePasada: Increasing optionality, especially when
talking about markets in
the aggregate, is always good
JorgePasada: It's 100% guaranteed
to be a net value add
to
the system as an aggregate
JorgePasada: 'and
the cost and nature of
that can’t be determined.'
JorgePasada: Bitcoin doesn’t eliminate fraudulent
transactions; it only eliminates counterfeit payments.
This can, of course, save many
tens or hundreds of billions of dollars a year globally and
translate
to more efficiency in commerce. But removing
the intermediary also removes recourse outside of courts, and
the cost and nature of
that can’t be determined.
benkay: These operations are run by what you could consider as volunteers << can't
tell if stupid or being ironic
JorgePasada: Because a Bitcoin
transaction can’t be reversed, it means
that
the party
transferring value has no recourse within
the Bitcoin system
to reverse or dispute a
transaction.
Thus, someone who wants
their money back has
to go
to court, and companies
that accept Bitcoin as payment aren’t above
the law.
This will move chargebacks from intermediary mediated settlements
to small-claims court and higher civil courts
JorgePasada: So I'm reading
this article a friend wrote
JorgePasada: where I
think people don't understand
the market
JorgePasada: But yeah I was more just getting at
taking
the other side of willing
transactions
benkay: his identity (in
the sense of a
thing
that persists past each scam) is only relevant
to other scammers.
the con man must burn his identity for each con.
benkay: the only identity a con man can sustain is with other
thieves.
benkay: tends
to be at odds with
the gentleman's desire
to cultivate an identity,
though.
JorgePasada: Wait a minute, all of
these people are way way less knowledgable about
this stuff
than I am,
they're just more confident
JorgePasada: benkay: I
think
that's
the realization I had when I was like 24 or so
benkay: running
the confidence game can be very lucrative!
JorgePasada: benkay: Step
two is still all question marks... so in
theory a lot
Apocalyptic: <benkay> you want
to know where i put my skin? // nortly,
that's your business, just wanted
to know what you meant by
that
JorgePasada: benkay: I like
to be in
the 'skinning other people who have no game' game. Good biz.
benkay: you want
to know where i put my skin?
benkay: well don't do only one
thing
JorgePasada: Also, just bought my
ticket
to
the amsterdam
JorgePasada: I
think
the problem is when
that's
the ONLY way you interact with people.
JorgePasada: benkay: Yeah, I mean we need more of
that for sure. But hell, a lot of my very close friends I only interact with online
benkay: the kind comprised of adults
that'd socialize budding humans not poorly.
benkay: mind you, JorgePasada, i'm
talking about a real community of humans who get
together and derp on a patch of dirt for potatoes or
tomatoes during
the day and sing and drink at night
moiety: mircea_popescu: what does 'switch' mean? re
the piecharts
benkay: JorgePasada: community has nothing
to do with content
benkay: don't explain
things
to
them,
that's
teaching and
takes
time. just glare and kill
their ego with your disapproval.
JorgePasada: although,
that being said, actually curating a good community and good content
