mircea_popescu: so i use some random online service. it does w/e well. i shoot the guy an email asking for his bitcoin addy because i want to send him some cents
as encouragement.
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> the irony here being that I planned to take mp aside to discuss the possibility of such things BEFORE they happened... << don't worry, it's how it works. I had made plans back in january and announced ppl about my conference last year, so
as to make it BEFORE BTCprice went up. scheduled it for april, asshole btc went up in march.
jurov: lol... having 0.1 withdrawal fee is enough. but that one will likely change
as bitcoin goes up

Jere_Jones: It appears

pankkake: they did it without the ipo
as they said
KRS1: doh he's gone i'll take that
as a yes
mircea_popescu: the only problem is, traditional betting venues work much like the casino, to skim
as much
as possible.
mike_c: nasdaq.com is slow
as shit.
b0n1: mircea_popescu, i am not sure whether that is of the same nature
as the point i want to mention here
ThickAsThieves: that accepting the devs
as "core" is the most dangerous centralization in bitcoin
mircea_popescu: "If you are a representative of Solar Wind Mining reading this, be aware that I’m not calling you a scam. I’m saying that you potentially legitimate venture doesn’t even look
as good
as some scams, and this situation was entirely preventable."
nubbins`: so you need to weigh that
as well
nubbins`: ah, i used ODEs, complicated
as fuck
mircea_popescu: i used sdrs
as an example of a currency item that can never be bought or held by joe scjhmoe.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, back to the point : i didn't use sdrs
as an example of the role of bitcoin.
mircea_popescu:
as a result you'll constantly be arbitraged out of value.
mircea_popescu:
as flattering
as that may be, knowledge and understanding are sometimes divergent.
mircea_popescu: moreover,
as the proportion is fixed, they have all the disadvantages of a bimetallic system, which are marked.
ThickAsThieves: "China has also suggested the creation of a substitution account to allow exchange of US dollars into SDRs.[Williamson 3] When substitution was proposed before, in 1978, the US appeared reluctant to allow such a mechanism to become operational.[Williamson 4] It is likely just
as reluctant today."
ThickAsThieves: "The SDR comes to prominence when the US dollar is weak or otherwise unsuitable to be a foreign exchange reserve asset. This usually manifests itself
as an allocation of SDRs to IMF member countries. Distrust of the US dollar is not the only stated reason allocations have been made, however." says wiki
mircea_popescu: mkay. so the fed system works thusly : instead of the various banks shipping bullion back and forth
as people deposit/withdraw money,
ThickAsThieves: and i want more arguments
as to why bitcoins ultimate use isnt necessarily
as a currency to buy coffee
nubbins`: these comments are about the same caliber
as youtube comments
pankkake: "This seizure was only legal because bitcoin is not recognized
as a currency" lol
nubbins`: Public Note: Eu sou do Brasil... Eu quero expressar minha opinião sobre a drogas... o governo prende quem vende drogas só por causa que não da lucro para o governo... então acaba com com o cigarro com
as bebidas alcoólicas...
mircea_popescu: for the record : "A racket is a service that is fraudulently offered to solve a problem, such
as for a problem that does not actually exist, will not be affected, or would not otherwise exist."
pankkake: december batches are sold already,
as I understand
pankkake: mircea_popescu: I think they will, but I'm to going vote No
as an hedge
mircea_popescu: moar like "red sox will win world series, this bet resolves
as no if world series doesn't exist anymoar"
ThickAsThieves: Red Sox will win world series, this bet resolves
as No if Bitfunder closes
ThickAsThieves: "Should btct.co disappear before that date or should proof emerge of btct.co failure to pay any liquid and exigible debt to any investor this bet resolves
as No."
nubbins`: im gonna start using blocks
as a measure of distance
ThickAsThieves: "I can't wait to see where share price goes once we list on a new exchange, and
as we get closer and closer to delivery"
mircea_popescu: it's so stupid this shit. im torn
as towhether to do a write-up of why it's stupid and in the process prove i understand the drug trade all too well or just stfu.
mircea_popescu: my bet is that
as the feds get enough of being humiliated it quietly drops into oblivion.
ThickAsThieves: now americans trying to look european are known
as rappers
nubbins`: you're telling me that stores are representing animal feces
as food?
nubbins`: author obv too stupid to realize that every souvenir shop in north america sells bags of chocolate-covered almonds
as "____ poop"
Kleeck__: Btct.co is down for me now
as well, ThickAsThieves
jcpham: is there a such thing
as a simple machines dev
ThickAsThieves:
as manual rendering of shares would be insanely time-consuming
mircea_popescu: yeah what im getting
as most likely story is that they bought
as cheap parts
as they could find, and ended up with a batch of shitty caps.
mod6: i suppose that something like urbit could actually live inside of other software eventually
as some sort of embedded system. or if it ever took the leap to native hardware, it could run on some sort of FPGA or pre-set asic chip.
mircea_popescu: if indeed the specification is
as short
as presented, it's prolly trivial to build asics that execute it natively
mod6: heheh, well since x86 intel, its not been nearly
as widely used. i think that network addresses are all passed in lsb though, and then they added htonl/s ntohl/s for translation, etc.
mod6: its not
as bad
as brainfuck, but not by much
mircea_popescu: you could put on a bikini, place yourself in a pot and sell yourself
as a bikini clad potted plant.
jurov: mod6 yeah trolling... couldn't resist
as long-time gentoo user :)
mod6: Perform the optimization of loop unrolling. This is done for all loops and usually makes programs run more slowly. `-funroll-all-loops' implies `-fstrength-reduce'
as well
as `-frerun-cse-after-loop'.
mod6: benkay_: Ahh, I've read more now on the urbit. I see what you mean by the 9-times thing
as temporary. And after reading Datskovskiy's comments it's interesting that it was put in to begin with.
kakobrekla: 1. people lose
as much money
as possible
mircea_popescu: broadly construed so
as to include anything relating to the production of communications of private persons in any written for
nubbins`: to be fair, i used the word "privacy"
as a search qualifier, so i may have missed privacy-related rulings that did not use the word "privacy"
nubbins`: "And then for each of these individually compile a record showing all their rulings, orders and decisions which in any way touched upon individual rights of privacy, broadly construed so
as to include anything relating to the production of communications of private persons in any written form, limited to an adversarial proceeding in which the US Government, or any agency or representative thereof w
jurov:
as a result of half-assed research?
Vexual:
as a bonus you get to knpow the direction to avoid
Vexual: applicant: i want 100 hectares
as bordered by hese coordinates
Vexual: mining warden is nearly
as boss
as queen here
mircea_popescu: b0n1
as far
as anyone knows they were not salted but put through 7500 iterations of whatever goop.
mircea_popescu: The whole enterprise of counting publications
as a means to evaluating research excellence is pernicious and completely absurd. If a 12 year-old were to write 'I fink that Enid Blyton iz bettern than that Emily Bronte bint cos she has written loads more books' then one could reasonably excuse the spelling
as reflective of the stupidity of the mind that produced the content. What we now have in academia is a situation
Vexual: That is good to hear, I am having a quiet evening watching a sliver of the moon sitting on a beautiful sunset. It feels
as though everything is right in the world.
pankkake: [03:13] <samuel_jackson> we'll put motion up
as soon
as the board is up
mircea_popescu: the flaming globes sigmund! it is just
as you have prophesized!
mircea_popescu: the dns system is notoriously insecure,
as proven by all the cache poisoning attacks etc.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, using pgp-style tools you have a dedicated signature identification step. you somehow acquire my signature. such
as, from me.
pankkake: the FBI would never do something
as productive
as hookers and blow
Diablo-D3: the fbi consumes siezed USD
as part of their budget
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what i meant was,
as long
as you have a port open, it's open for nmap too.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i guess now i have to go into details
as otherwise this is all useless nonsense. brb.
pankkake: I often misread new words (like kakobrekla, I read it
as something else for weeks)
pankkake: skinnkavaj: I always read your nickname
as skinnyvaj'
jurov:
as i wrote above, mpex doesn't round divs to whole satoshi/share
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i guess this qualifies
as an unjustified accelerated dividend and therefore A SCAM
mircea_popescu: basically last month i paid the 3mn shares on mpex
as if they were the whole 10mn. which they aren't.
mircea_popescu: "All help and contributions in getting Bitwasp completed are very much appreciated
as the time of the lead developers is currently very limited."
