jurov: that fell
to deaf ears
jurov: i preferred not
to ask, sent him straight
to read
trilema
mrstickball: so he wanted
to use coinbr
to get on mPEX?
mrstickball: I saw
that he was looking at listing on Coin Brouse, but was unsure how
that interaction worked
jurov: he asked me
to list HFLTC on coinbr
mrstickball: do you know anything about him, or are you just asking me
to PM him and post convo for lulz? jurov
jurov: mrstickball, you can inquire Mr. Miquel J. Pavón Besalú for lulz if you want provided you publish
the convo,
mircea_popescu: artifexd fluffing is when a youngish girl
that aspires
to one day make money from porn
tries her inept damdest
to get up
the overworked penis of some druggie pronstar guy
fluffypony: I
think I was death-0ver0rd on Dalnet for like a year
fluffypony: well it's better
than some of my nicknames in
the 90s
fluffypony: till
they started calling me fluffypony and FP in emails and at Friday afternoon drinks
mircea_popescu: lol o i c, fluffy pony is less gay. right. what'd you drink, paint
thinner ?
fluffypony: and
they
thought "fluffy pony" was much better
fluffypony: anyway, I
thought fluffy horse "sounded gay"
mircea_popescu: is
this story a subtle suggestion you've got a nigger hose ?
fluffypony: artifexd:
that came up as part of
the convo
that night ;)
artifexd: Isn't
that known as "fluffing"?
fluffypony: so in
the wee hours of a debaucherus night/morning
they decided my nick name would be fluffy horse
fluffypony: and
they decided
to give me a nick name
fluffypony: got slaughter-house drunk with
them whilst
the nerds went
to sleep
fluffypony: at any rate, we went on a
team building weekend away
fluffypony: and
they were known as fluffy puppy and fluffy bunny
fluffypony: I worked at
this IT company, and
there were
these
two cute sales girls (literally
the only
two decent looking people at
the company)
mircea_popescu: btw, what's
the worst
time
to have a productive streak ?
pankkake: that's actually why I don't mind long *comfortable*
travel over short inconfortable
pankkake: I have had some productivity streaks while on
the
train
mircea_popescu: i know at least a dozen people who read
trilema while
travelling. catch up with a month's worth on an intercontinental flight
Namworld: Seems like a good reason
to not give up
then.
pankkake: fluffypony: I'll eventually make a script
to put
them on my ereader. maybe I'll read
them all
then
fluffypony: Namworld: I
think
the world will come
to
the end
Namworld: Returning
the investment is not something
that
the forum can digest you say? So if I complete repaying all my lenders, all hell will break loose on
the forum?
fluffypony: I normally have
to gloss over
Trilema posts 5 or 6
times before I remember what it was about
mircea_popescu: anyway : because i actually included pc5 explicitly,
the share actually has a clear mechanism
to
track nav pretty closely.
pankkake: no one should be blamed for
tl;dring
trilema
artifexd: Well. Crap. I hate asking questions when
the answer is in black and white.
mircea_popescu: " It may pay a dividend during any period I determine
this expedient, but
there is no promise of monthly dividend (nor does such a
thing make any sense whatsoever, for most companies)."
mircea_popescu: dividends will happen if
there's no rational use of capital comensurate with historical gains, so if
the
thing makes ~10% pa for a while, and
there's no way
to beat
that, i'd start distributing capital
artifexd: That implies
that you do not expect
to issue regular dividends. Correct?
mircea_popescu: so in general,
the share should appreciate
through
tracking its nav.
mircea_popescu: artifexd well substantially, my
thinking is
that one does not simply kill berkshire, one also makes a replacement. if one's polite, at least.
pankkake: my last encounter with jimmothy points
to
that :/
artifexd: mircea_popescu: What is
the way in which purchasers of f.mpif are expecting
to make money? Increase in nav? Dividends?
mircea_popescu: this concept where
they return
the investment is obviously
too much for
teh forum.
mike_c: i'm sure
they will find someone willing
to
take it.
fluffypony: so now
they have
this pile of BTC
that was meant for GoCoin
fluffypony: mike_c: I'd love
to know what
they're going
to do since GoCoin rejected
their investment
mircea_popescu: <mike_c>
they got
their mistakes out of
the way with SF1. You need
to jump on SF2, it's going
to
the moon. << i forget, what was
the eventual return on
that
thing ?
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> we are planning on reaching regular folks as well <<
tbh, as long as you ernestly offer
the strong version, nobody can hold it against you
that you also offer a convenient version.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> hey, guys: which is less likely
to leak? openssl or gpg? << gpg may still have a bug or
two in
there.
pankkake: that's like
the password
things
that require you
to have "at least one number, one capitalized letter, one symbol"
artifexd: The code
to run a yubikey server is open source so you, I, or anyone is welcome
to swap out
the key and run
their own server.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> all of a sudden i'm struck by
the notion
that
the only good withdrawal message is one gpg-signed by
the withdrawing party. << welcome
to... 2012 ?
pankkake: oh was
that why
the mtgox keys worked only with mtgox?
mircea_popescu: ie, not all keys work, key has
to satisfy magic yubikey criteria on
top of entropy
mircea_popescu: artifexd>
That may, or may not, invalidate
the ability
to use yubikey's servers
though. I don't know. << afaik blowing
their key does make it unable
to use
the servers, because you see,
the
true beauty of stupidty :
they actually narrow
the keyspace (significantly)
to make
their product vendor-lockedin
mircea_popescu: unlike
the bitbet style, which while being exactly
the same
thing, is socially unacceptable.
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> asciilifeform: i'm
talking from a server end point, i don't have
to keep user secret. just public key <<< see,
there.
that's
the value proposition : it allows
the operator
to say "sorry, fuck you"
to
the user in
terms
that are socially acceptable,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> you gotta
transport
the secret
to
the user << did i wake up
today in a parallel universe where public-key crypto was never invented ? << no, you woke up in a parallel universe where microsoft is still a business model.
fluffypony: it's still a sight better
than "password + birthday = secure password"
fluffypony: moiety: yeah,
they belong
to
the "fight
to
the death" school of pack leadership :-P
fluffypony: (the beta lost, he's
the one with
the bust up eye)
fluffypony: that's what happens when
the beta picks a fight with
the alpha
fluffypony: I don't want
to be responsible for a dead manul
moiety: BB start
the BitBet nao!
BingoBoingo: just because it hunts lions, doesn't mean it will be effective against a Manul
though.
Naphex: sounds in
tune with youtube russia :)
BingoBoingo: 'They were developed as a water rescue/lifesaving dog, but according
to O. Krasnovskaya, "That was not a good idea as [they] were not willing
to save drowning people, but mostly were looking
to bite
them so
this breed was never developed".'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The basenji is basically a pariah dog
type. What other dogs revert
to after uncontrolled breeding. Natural strays.
fluffypony: they're one of
the ancient breeds, so
they're
the dogs in ancient egypt
that
the pharoahs worshipped
moiety: just because youre used
to seeing fat assed corgis
moiety: they are corgi coloured BB but legs are like 5
times
the length
moiety: oh wow
they dont bark do
they
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: All it
takes is 1 Manul and
then you have 0 dogs
moiety: the hattori is a bit more vicious on little wires
than i was expecting
