mircea_popescu: Instead,
this week we found out
the Most
Transparent Administration in American History™ has implemented a new anti-press policy
that would make Richard Nixon blush. National intelligence director James Clapper,
the man caught lying
to Congress from an "unauthorized" leak by Snowden, issued a directive
to
the employees of all 17 intelligence agencies barring all employees from any "unauthorized" contact with

mircea_popescu: whoa iron dropped ? coal dropped ?!
this is a new one.
fluffypony: I haven't had enough coffee - can you explain
the relative dividend yield? surely
the dividends are absolute?
mircea_popescu: maybe mike_c does one
too,
then we can see if your numbers match.
mircea_popescu: if you'd find it within your heart
to publish
the 2nd year of dividends, same format,
that'd actually be helpful.

fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I've been flipping
through
the MPOE account statements for a blog post on running a profitable BTC business, is
there a cumulative count of dividends paid per share
that you've published at any point?
mircea_popescu: 3.x btc ? getting
to be pretty respectable for a scamcoin.

bitcoinpete: "Actual people are always on
the lookout for games
to put skin in. Everybody else just knows better, from
the waysides."
bitcoinpete: "There’s a very simple way
to distinguish actual people from non-people. It’s not whether
their grandmother was Jewish or
their hair is curly, it’s not whether
their skin
tone is
this or
that shade of purple, it’s not even if
they do well in school, suck cock rapturously, work hard, obey
the laws, go
to church, respect
their elders, floss, whatever
the hell else. None of
that matters."

cazalla: i don't vote so i guess i don't have a choice not
that i would even if i did
bitcoinpete: cazalla: if
those are
the choices,
then sure
cazalla: still, i'd rather
the au gov spend
the money on planes
than more and more welfare
bitcoinpete: we were
talking about 65 of
them

the
tune of $25M or so
bitcoinpete: does
the guy of pgp/gpg? nope, "The PGP/GPG stuff has been on my list
to figure out for a few months, but I haven't gotten around
to it yet. I've only recently started caring (somewhat) about security since getting into Bitcoin."
bitcoinpete: naturally, i prod further and his area of interests is sidechains because
they "fix bitcoin's incentive problems"
cazalla: BingoBoingo: Australia is buying 58 of
those F-35's :\
bitcoinpete: so anyways i ask
the guy what he doing in/with bitcoin and he says he "just left a start-up and wants
to be a core dev"
bitcoinpete: So
this random dude e-mails me recently, offering
to set me up with ltb's adam levine for an interview about maidsafe
BingoBoingo: Still less expensive
than
the F-35
that doesn't work
bitcoinpete: "The land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles,
the ICBMs,
that we saw are just one part of
the nuclear
triad
that includes missiles on submarines and bombers.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates
that operating and upgrading all
three legs of
the
triad is going
to cost at least $355 billion over
the next 10 years."
bitcoinpete: "We're not up on
the Internet." <<def helps
BingoBoingo: I mean what other computers would be running launch systems? Some 28nm ARM
thing
that runs Java?
bitcoinpete: "A few years ago we did a complete analysis of our entire network. Cyber engineers found out
that
the system is extremely safe and extremely secure on
the way it's developed."
bitcoinpete: "I'll
tell you,
those older systems provide us some -- I will say huge safety when it comes
to some cyber issues
that we currently have in
the world."
bitcoinpete: "And
they're using really, really, really old computers. I saw a floppy disc and not a floppy disc
that size. It was gigantic."
bitcoinpete: "the equipment is ancient.
This, for example, is one of
the computers
that would receive a launch order from
the president. It uses floppy disks!
The really old, big ones."

mod6: now
there's a shocker
ThickAsThieves: and
the first public report comes with
the first ability
to but shares?
BingoBoingo: Otherwise you can parse
the logs for references
to amounts and get a rough idea of
the size it started at.
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: It will be when
the first public statement is revealed.
mod6: (17:27) <+mircea_popescu> mod6 %lb ? << i'll make

too.
mod6: ok bare with me a moment, gonna see if I can get
this

Thanks for starting yours back up.
mod6: pankkake: so not sure why it died
there. it didn't get back a null result, or it would have spit out an error, but whatever it was, wasn't valid JSON. needs some debugging in

mod6: it doesn't do
that yet BB, best we can do now is %last_block
mod6: I'll work on
that
too. But meanwhile... ok?
mod6: pankkake: you should start your bot back up. mine has a bug somewhere, gotta debug it. haven't flexed
that part of
the code much yet.
mod6: hang on a sec. I'll do
that first.
mod6: pankkake: ok yeah, i didn't bother
trying
to align yet. if you want me
to, I can change it over
to doing
the

mod6: ok. not a big deal, need a bit more
time for
that mp.

mod6: is
this acceptable?
mircea_popescu: pankkake ok
the guy's kinda amusing. almost livejournal level
mircea_popescu: "It's lame in a way you are more concerned about privacy of your "bank account"
than creating and promoting growth and fostering a close
tight knit community. It's more important
to you your MSC stake or "bank account" stays private
than fostering closer
tie with
the community who allowed you
to have
this "bank account" in
the first place."
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller anyway, i dropped
them a

they show up and impress.
mircea_popescu: yeah
the venue is basically if pc5 ends up with
too many shares
peterl: aha, misread, missed

the fund owns
them,
they can just get destroyed

mod6: i'll call it 'atcbot'
that would make
the most sense.
peterl: mircea_popescu: looking at mpif contract, "The General Manager may also destroy Fund shares
the Fund holds at any point", does
the manager
take out btc, or do
the shares just get destroyed?
kakobrekla: scambot you say? might as well just call it max keiser
then
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller on
the other hand,
their domain whois claims it was reg'd by Brian Niessen, who is an actual somebody.
kakobrekla: if its atc specific you might call it something related
