t turn to mush

t know how to use them
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure. I'm just saying why don'
t they pretend better. Instead of throwing on fake spoilers and calling a car customer, this is the "I put a sticker on it" sort of effort.

t go to the actual Bitcoin Foundation) : Buttcoin ... (

mircea_popescu: so, spare me the reddit nonsense. bitcoin, money, and good stuff aren'
t for poor people.
mircea_popescu: but the notion that mining will still work no matter how badly the incentive structure gets ruined, because somehow mining is a god given gift / universal service obligation of nature to man doesn'
t.
mircea_popescu: and that doesn'
t actually even begin to address the (unrelated) problem with "infinite blocks", which is market destruction out and out.
mircea_popescu: davout: justusranvier: in your article you shouldn'
t be reasoning on the cost of including a transaction in a block as (cost of one block / number of transactions) but you should reason on the marginal cost of adding a transaction to an already existing block that i'm currently mining << quite
mircea_popescu: no, srsly, kakobrekla has it. i've seen more controller failures than anything. actually out of cycles deaths are so rare i don'
t recall one.

t even remotely local to the fucking arrest!
mircea_popescu: now that guy doesn'
t know how to erase his name from the mess.
mircea_popescu: it speaks volumes as to his own perceived value of his own "opinions" which he doesn;'
t actually hold.
mircea_popescu: yeah derp claimed he can'
t come because he's got a lunch engagement, then found out that so do i so he suddenly could.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: pity conformal isn'
t better known. << how so? << they did all sorts of things for "the community" to be able to use their own stuff, which the community isn'
t doing because... well i guess more because lazy and stupid, but hey.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform the 2nd is particularly pernicious because of the "good enough" approach. "what do you mean bitcoin transactions can'
t be used to identify anything ? here's a list of derps we know for a fact, they're 50% of the blockchain spam" << Reasons to never use a public Electrum server for people wondering about "Lite" wallets.

BingoBoingo: Wait, Buttstamp isn'

t prevent somebody else from executing it better than you, while you sit around trying to get people to invest in something you haven'
t explained to them

t admit to being the mafia. Whereas KGB/Soviets said, "Yea we're the mob, watcha gonna do about it?"
thestringpuller: there's a lot wrong there, but my theory is VC's won'
t let them hold btc like other btc companies
davout: thestringpuller: why wouldn'
t they be?
mircea_popescu: not a matter of chumpness tho. suppose dude rings your doorbell dressed as a car mechanic. "yes ?" "hello i'm the pizza delivery". "you don'

t wrapped in redditard retardation / karpeles bs, it'd almost be worth making.
mircea_popescu: davout bicopulation is what that deer in the middle's doin'. ain'
t me!
davout: also you can'
t really have the market price according to supply and demand when the supply's pretty much infinite for all practical purposes

t really know python so i can'
t really comment

t find my fingerprint.
davout: gavinandresen: “patches welcome" <<< i don'
t use your wallet tbh

t* get tied up forever.
ben_vulpes: don'
t address any of the *only valid points* being made here.
ben_vulpes: gavinandresen: adoption is for the masses. i don'

t WC brag about having access to illegal woods?
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> apparently they'll want to change bitcoin to gavincoin 1:1 later on, but they don'
t want to change it at a 25% discount today. << should better offer it at 25% over, otherwise they are admitting their coin has the lower value
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla it's btcjam : if you don'
t simply forget all about your website account, you can always just not pay later on.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don'
