kakobrekla: 12:53.02 ( +mircea_popescu ) [11:49:40] anyway,
there should be a noob channel where people kindergarten
their first year(s) in btc < all but -assets ?
mircea_popescu: and
that place'd be all full of... annoying kindergarterisms. like... "remember
to brush your
teeth!"
mircea_popescu: anyway,
there should be a noob channel where people kindergarten
their first year(s) in btc
mircea_popescu: ArsKisS it probably alleviates
the conscxience of
the people running -otc ?
fluffypony: lol ArsKisS, I'm not responsible for gribble, I was just explaining
the rationale
ArsKisS: if some of us are stupid it doesn't make
things better
to annoy
the non-stupid ones
ArsKisS: fluffypony, well, if
they get scammed anyway, what does
the spam help?
mircea_popescu: nanotube maybe add a counter and only
tell people say... 500
times
they shoulds pay attention ?
fluffypony: and it has
to be
there because so many people join, get pm'd, and get scammed
ArsKisS: spam my query every
time i log in
ArsKisS: can you
turn gribble spam off? it's annoying
mircea_popescu: the stones buried under
the earth have SPOKEN
THROUGH
THE MIKE!
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't be surpriosed if
the above problem is actually most of
the friction
that site encounters, in its business
edlund10: i wondered - have you
thought about a website like betfair for bitcoins?
mircea_popescu: and
the downside is i'd have
to put "make acct with X site" on someone's workorder.
mircea_popescu: now,
the upside i judge at what, a few hundred bucks. cause
they're not gonna sell a million copies without advertising and marketing work.
mircea_popescu: dude. looky here : at
this point
the situation is, some site somewhere provided you do some
things may maybe sell your book.
things such as i dunno... make an account.
fluffypony: they also provide
the ISBN if
there isn't one already
mircea_popescu: yes but
they also don't do it by
themselves, it seems.
fluffypony: "We work on commission. We don't charge for our ebook publishing, conversion and distribution services, and we don't sell publishing packages. We earn our commission only if we sell your book, and our commission is only 15% or less of
the net, which works out
to 10% of
the retail price when your book sells at our retailers. For example, a $10.00 ebook sold at one of our retail partners earns you $6.00 and earns Smashwords $1.00.
The same
mircea_popescu: i'd have
to put someone on it and everyone's overworked.
mircea_popescu: meh, a few hundred bucks on yet another site account somewhere is at
this point a net loss
to me,
fluffypony: although it could be an interesting proposition
to
them
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: because
they do all
the heavy lifting of getting it into
the Kindle and iBooks stores etc.
mircea_popescu: edlund10 link
to 1st chapter in
that link,
then chains of links
to following chapters.
fluffypony: you should republish it electronically
through SmashWords
ozbot: I wrote a book… pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: da fuck,
that'll be
the laugh of all
time, if it
turns out my real
talent was literary.
edlund10: I
think he gained lots of popularity after
the "How
to interact with a fiat institution" article
fluffypony: so it's my ISP's DSL proxy
that's broken
fluffypony: ICMP
traffic is working,
TCP is working, but HTTP/HTTPS isn't working
Namworld: The lack of a platform
to do
that is kind of problematic.
Namworld: Actually nevermind, I guess since I'm not paying daily interest like on contract,
that's a default.
Namworld: Although otherwise I guess
that yes, it's a default. I just don't know why he's naming me among so many scams who are more
than just late. Or where he even learned I'm late on some payments.
Namworld: The
terms where
that loan was redeemable on demand, providing
time for liquiding assets.
The
timespan is just getting unreasonable.
kakobrekla: well, if someone is ok
to assfuck him,
that doesnt mean you didnt assfuck him
Namworld: Well people so far have accepted my explanation and were okay
to wait a while.
fluffypony: still, on a list of hipsterrific scams it seems an odd
thing
to mention
Namworld: Eh. I have a loan still outstanding. I was repaying people for a good while after BTCT.co closed. I ran into issues
tho, I'm not done repaying everyone.
Namworld: Wasn't
there another loan
thing on Bitfunder other
than Ukyo? Who was it?
fluffypony: Namworld: so did you figure out why you got named-and-shamed in
that SymStep
thread?
jurov: i'm on
the road, still 450km
to
timis
jurov: nooo i wanted
to cuddle

artifexd: ThickAsThieves: FWIW, metabyte has been booted as founder of #altcoin and now
the founder is listed as freenode-staff.
ThickAsThieves: ;;later

the composer for
the Heroes game music does some for Rift
too
assbot: Voicing
ThickAsThieves for 30 minutes.
artifexd: Staffers have been kinda lacking
the last few hours.
artifexd: The fact
that
the founder of
the channel is long absent and his nickserv account is expired make it much easier.
artifexd: I can point
them at
the bitcointalk
thread. And say, "See
ThickAsThieves created
the project. He says I am a rep. Don't believe me? Ask him."
artifexd: Pop into #freenode. Ask a staffer
to
transfer control. Answer whatever questions he has. (Is it open source? Etc...)
ThickAsThieves: Seems a lil loose but i also dont get how
to make someone an official rep
ThickAsThieves: So rhe process for controlling it would be
to state purpose and provide url?
artifexd: The founder is metabyte. He registered
the channel over a year ago. Hasn't been in it for...
artifexd: I want
to set a
topic
to reduce
the amount of OMGBBQCoin questions.
artifexd: You have control over
therealaltcoin.org, right?
artifexd: I'm
trying
to grab control of #altcoin.
artifexd: Yeah. Gotta be ident for assbot
to pay you any mind
ThickAsThieves: I

to gribble auth everytime if i was nickseev id'd
assbot: Voicing
ThickAsThieves for 30 minutes.
