mircea_popescu: Naphex i actually like
them both. which i guess is somewhat rare.
Naphex: always
tought you a Parazitii man
mircea_popescu: because w/e, romanians were liek
teh first on
the internet.
fluffypony: quite unlike
the Germans who won't use it if it's not in German
mircea_popescu: this would be
the definition of racism : 10 units of e + 1 unit of r is more
than 0e + 100 r.
mircea_popescu: they have
their own official site and everything. problem is,
they don't have much english support on
the web, being.. you know, a romanian language band.
mircea_popescu: then one day i use one of
their lines as a
title for a post, and i get
the #1 spot by morning.
mircea_popescu: so
there's
this romanian rap band, bug mafia. it exists since
the 90s, it was one of
the first in
the sense someone in bitcoin since 2010 is "one of
the first".
they're
to
this day
the best by a very very fat margin.
cazalla: i don't
tbh as i'm still relatively young and by
the
time i'm old, perhaps
there will be a cure
cazalla: according
to 23andme, it's my highest risk disease
too
mircea_popescu: "We would also let you know

to you via E-mail for privacy reasons. We understand
that
the content of your package itself is a Bank Draft worth $800,000.00 USD; in FedEx we do not ship money in CASH or in CHEQUE but in Bank Drafts only."
fluffypony: and
then five seconds later forget how
to eat properly
fluffypony: it's quite sad because he'll have
these flashes when we've been
talking about Bitcoin where he'll understand everything and comment with incredible depth
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: wife is East German, so I've learnt about a lot of
that stuff, especially from her grandparents
HeySteve: fluffypony, don't
think it's
the splitter, got a new one.
think water is getting in
the line somehow
mircea_popescu: film also has interspersed scenes of a hog eating a
trabant
mircea_popescu: sends daughter
to water
the pole (ie, pour a bucket of water at base on old wooden pole, no cables
there or anything)
mircea_popescu: great somalian film. in it
there's a scene where old woman can't
talk on cellphone
fluffypony: we had
that, and it
turned out
that our splitter
thingy was bust,
Telkom
tech just replaced it
HeySteve: phone call interrupts connection but only rings once, etc. very
tedious.
fluffypony: HeySteve: when
the wind blows or it rains our connection goes down, welcome
to Africa
HeySteve: yeah fluffypony, although problem could also be on
telkom side
HeySteve: given
the stability of my connection, I'd say it's confirmed
they are
fluffypony: I started a blog
that I'm aiming
to update extremely sporadically and only when I particularly feel like it
HeySteve: sure
thing, I
think many people will have questions at
that price especially considering
the piece's history
HeySteve: still, anything above 12 million would make it
the most expensive
thing offered for btc
to my knowledge
HeySteve: I'm just reporting what
the seller's agent
told me
HeySteve: heh I don't know enough about fine art
to want
to
take
that bet
HeySteve: well, I don't expect it will sell for bitcoin, more likely for USD if
they get
their price (which may be lower
than
their asking)
mircea_popescu: HeySteve i
tell you i dun see it. i estimate it
to be worth in
the 90-190 btc range. now what ?
mircea_popescu: i mean i guess
the idea is
that bitcoiners are so fucking rich and clueless
that
they have no idea what's what, so
they may
throw 100k btc on something worth 1% of
that.
HeySteve: involving
the NFL star's ponzi scheme
HeySteve: however,
that value was estimated in one of
the linked stories I believe
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: please point
to
the part of
the sentence where I said I hate it

this nick maps
to a real person i have met IRL, also CoinBR <<< lol I'm not aware
TAT
took over coinbr :D
dignork: dexX7: don't want
to beat a dead horse, but puting anythin + privkey into browser is a bad idea, unless for some reason you run it on an oflline machine
dexX7: something like
http://brainwallet.org/#tx where you only need
to input an unsigned
tx + privkey (unfortunally
this does not work with brainwallet.org for whatever reason)
dexX7: pushing via bci works of cource but
the
tx needs
to be signed first
dexX7: signing via bitcoind is simple but i'd like
to cover more ways
fluffypony: ok so
then can't you use blockchain.info
to push it once it's signed?
ozbot: Redeem multisig
txs
dexX7: actually i'm writing a
tutorial for
fluffypony: dexX7: are you looking
to automate it or do it manually?
dexX7: that's
the plan fluffypony. and i'm looking for a way
to sign with a minimal setup. like a very simple website + js or similar
dexX7: bci allows
to push signed
transactions but no signing
nanotube: dexX7: you don't want
to provide privkeys
to any website. :P use a local client.
dexX7: do you know any legit website which allows
to sign raw
transactions after providing
the rawtx + privkey? nothing fancy and
the less overhead
the better
HeySteve: right, well I'd very much like
to speak
to nanotube in any case, in relation
to my project
HeySteve: sure, it's open source and
the data is easily copied, so I guess it could be mirrored easily enough
fluffypony: HeySteve: you'd have
to ask nanotube for details, but with
the vested interest from all parties in
the WoT it isn't going anywhere
fluffypony: ;;later
tell moiety did you get your free Denarius from CryptoWimmins yet?
fluffypony: best way is
to get buyers
to rate you on
the WoT as well
HeySteve: at
the
time,
the only alternative was CoinGig
HeySteve: I was a seller
there, it's unfortunate
there's no way
to migrate feedback from shuttered markets...
fluffypony: I've bought a couple of
things on CryptoThrift, not blown away by
the site but it seems
to be a lot better
than BitMit
fluffypony: probably just slipped
through
the cracks
fluffypony: "Takes poker. It’s a game which is also an adult activity due
to
the money involved." <- broke my brain
fluffypony: asciilifeform:
that Cardano prototype is REALLY pretty!
moiety: o.o i didn't know
thats where Josh spawned from
fluffypony: BingoBoingo:
the amounts in
that article are staggering
bitcoinpete: More Piketty: "The simple fact is
that large wealth
taxes do not mesh well with
the norms and practices required by a successful and prosperous capitalist democracy. It is hard
to find well-functioning societies based on anything other
than strong legal, political, and institutional respect and support for
their most successful citizens."

bitcoinpete: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu you make a good point about
the last line. as students of history, we ain't forgettin' shit. i'm
tempted
to re-write it but
then your comment wouldn't make any sense. it did feel a bit off as i wrote it...
ozbot: Consumerism:

the French Revolution | When Bitcoin Met Pete
bitcoinpete: And I know MP caught my article earlier
today, so for
the rest of you:
bitcoinpete: "The
three decades between 1950 and 1980 were
truly unusual;
the constellation of economic and demographic variables
that produced prosperity during
that period will probably not be re-created anytime soon." <<pretty much
bitcoinpete: Piketty: “there is no natural, spontaneous process
to prevent destabilizing, inegalitarian forces from prevailing permanently.” <<destabilizing permanently is super contradictory
benkay`: would someone please explain precisely what contributions
to struggle
the Cypress bail in caused
to me?
benkay`: "Last year,
the government of
the Republic of Cyprus imposed
the equivalent of a
tax on bank deposits, only
to see
the
tax contribute
to, rather
than reverse,
the island’s economic struggles."
moiety: later benkay, good
to see you
moiety: i didnt know what
they were, i see now
benkay`: good
talkin'
to ya, moiety.
benkay`: remainder is left as an exercise
to
the reader.
moiety: what kind of floaty
things?
moiety: this
thing scares
the life out of me, its really fast
benkay`: anyways, coming projects have
to do with floaty
things not moving lots of metal around in production lines so
the risk is probably bounded
to burning my hands (only
things
that've been paying my meagre wages since
time immemorial).
benkay`: servos
tend
to be
that way.
moiety: motoman looks vicious in action
too
