punkman: how much of a garden are you
thinking?
danielpbarron: i want
to sell shares
to my friends and family
to start a garden on my yard (to
try out managing profit/loss and paying dividends)
punkman: I should move further away from
the city and get my own goat
danielpbarron: that's in past
tense; i don't go back
there (they are a false church)
wywialm: ;;later
tell bitcoinpete I've read your deflation article. Do you believe
that 1) prices may be downward rigid? 2) wages may be downward rigid? If yes, what is
the impact on
these in a substantially deflationary regime?
MisterE: hell
they are yummy
to eat
too
danielpbarron: i live down
the road from some neighbors who have goats
MisterE: that goat cheese is
the bomb
too
punkman: I really prefer sheep/goat
to cow milk, but can't find any consistent supply
punkman: found
the most delicious sheep's milk
today, non-homogenized, 6% fat, and doesn't smell like sheep ass
cgcardona_: ah yes good point. I don't mean
to spam
the channel. sorry bout
that
punkman: you can play with
the bots in private
too
gribble: Next difficulty estimate | 6966233925.09 based on data since last change | 6959577195.63 based on data for last

cgcardona_: maybe I have
to pay btc
to get access
to more
than 5 assbot commands per day?
assbot: The round stones beneath
the earth... have spoken
through
the fire.
assbot: !bash <lines> (desc: bashes last <lines> lines
to bash) {short: !b}
assbot: !mp <signcrypted dpaste.com url> (desc: returns
the response from MPEX order)
assbot: !ticker <exchange> <ticker> (desc: returns current
ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO) {short: !t}
cgcardona_: maybe assbot has an api for showing
the difficulty. i'm not sure
danielpbarron: yeah i'm always paying in cash and answering "no"
to "want a receipt?"
MisterE: I'm in Bangkok and want money in
the US in 5 min
cgcardona_: try
to grab a
tea and chips "oh sorry it has
to be $5." "ok just double
the order"
cgcardona_: $5.00 minimum payments at gas stations etc have been making me buy double
the crap I want for years
danielpbarron: fees aside, why does a 3rd party have
to be involved at all?
They can block
the
trade or get
the state involved
MisterE: international
tx fees FFS!
pankkake: you rarely do
that
though. it's paypal or some bank credit card processor
MisterE: and you pay dearly for
that privledge
cgcardona_: yea one of
the biggest
things
that's changed in my perception since regularly using btc is how fucked it feels
to give a stranger my credit card info.
danielpbarron: i don't want
to give some stranger my credit card number
to read an article
MisterE: happily pay
to read ars and
the sites I like
pankkake: I wouldn't have an issue with a global paywall. if I have
to register
to every website, fuck it
danielpbarron: before Bitcoin, i would have said
the opposite
to all
that
MisterE: yea I planned
to buy some credits
danielpbarron: i would so much rather pay per article
then bother with ad-blocking
MisterE: extension gets
the stragglers heh
danielpbarron: which should come as no surprise
to anyone with even a
tenuous understanding of economics
danielpbarron: most articles
that are free
to read usually suck anyway
danielpbarron: his is a clever system, you aren't paying
to read
the article forever; you're paying for
the request
to
the server (which might happen multiple
times per article if you keep going back
to re-read)
thestringpuller: i have enough
trilema credits
to last me
till mircea has a full head of gray hair
danielpbarron: (not
that I invest at all, unless holding BTC counts)
Apocalyptic: but
then don't ruin it by arguing with me what "public key" means
danielpbarron: making a credit/debit card
that links
to Bitcoin kinda defeats
the whole purpose of Bitcoin; i realize
that now
Apocalyptic: danielpbarron, yeah
that's a good approach in learning
kakobrekla: <danielpbarron> i don't
trust fiat-based business ideas anymore; done with it < BAT U GOTSTA DIVERSIFUCK
danielpbarron: i don't
trust fiat-based business ideas anymore; done with it
Apocalyptic: seriously #bitcoin is painfull
to read
today...
assbot: Last
trade for NEOBEEQ on HAVELOCK was at 0.00012801 BTC [+]
kakobrekla: trying
to do stuff. no, scammer
tag means more biz
mikaeldice: I didn't read
the article, but a cursory glance at
the
title ensures me
that yes, it must be
true.
ozbot: Romanian Becomes Possessed While on Live

assbot: !mp <signcrypted dpaste.com url> (desc: returns

cgcardona_: so depending on where in
the spectrum
the person falls it would change (obvisously)
cgcardona_: a
third anecdotal evidence is my wife recently asked a local music store here on kauai if
they'd let her buy me an ukelele for my bday w/ btc and
they basically laughed her out of
the store.
cgcardona_: On
the flip side I recently
took on a client in honolulu and he is incredibly
tech savvy and wanted nothing
to do w/
twitter integration
cgcardona_: depends what you mean by 'average' - I recently got a new part
time job in SF w/ some relatively
tech savvy people. During
the interview we
talked about btc and I
told
them about my project.
The
team leaders response was 'I
think bitcoin is cool. I'm just not sure if it's gonna be
the winner' (fair enough i suppose).
benkay: which affiliation makes you look dumber
to
the average potential client?
cgcardona_: and
the passphrase was 'aaaaaaaa' - it was
truly a nightmare :)
danielpbarron: individuals who oppose deflationary currencies in favor of inflationary, based on having being duped into
thinking
that someone would sooner starve
to death
then part with savings, will
themselves starve
to death when
the infastructure feeding
them inevitably collapses due
to
the inability of central banks
to print
their way into prosperity
benkay: hoarder's won't starve, misconceiving bitcoin will kill you is
that
the gist?
danielpbarron: (i don't mean
that isn't my
twitter account, it is)
benkay: danielpbarron: do you have
this 'hoarders will starve'
thesis of yours written out anywhere in more detail
than 140 characters including a link allows for?
danielpbarron: i
think it would be irressponsible
to hold BTC and NOT be in here
benkay: not as in get out of here as you no doubt hear all
the
time, but what precisely are you doing.
benkay: hence
the question "what are you doing here"
danielpbarron: am I in
the wrong place? I
thought
this was ground zero of
the Bitcoin Business community
benkay: o ya you're
the
troll
thumper
benkay: lotsa new handles in here -- y'all in
the WoT yet?
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: depends on if
the business
touches fiat ever...
danielpbarron: it's pretty easy if you make sure
that what goes in is more
than what goes out
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] [PAID] 66.40585632 BTC
to 5`076 shares, 1308232 satoshi per share
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 2.08562688 BTC
to 5`076 shares, 41088 satoshi per share
pankkake: "This has been
tried before. His response was about his love of life and how many of his friends and family have died when he was young."
danielpbarron: but investing isn't about making money for most individuals;
they are happy just
to participate
pankkake: why are
they paying dividends
then?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [KCIM] [PAID] 2.17250000 BTC
to 86`900 shares, 2500 satoshi per share
danielpbarron: i
think everything about
that whole exchange is sketchy, but individuals keep using it so what do i know
ozbot: Community Bank of
the Chesapeake, Southern Maryland and Virginia
