domsch: part of
that is why it’s great
that Internet and Bitcoin allows people
to stay anonymous for some
time and just convince
the other person
through words and
their abilities.
domsch: as a young kid
that is just getting started, doing
the above is pretty much
the “only way”
to prepare oneself. A problem
that I have seen in
the past is
that a lot of people are reluctant
to work with youngsters like me - which I do really understand.
pankkake: so it's a nfc payment
terminal?
domsch: and yes, lurking, reading and listening
to
the mistakes of others is probably
the only way
to be prepared for
this.
twizt: nah fuck
that burn bridges domsch
thestringpuller: domsch: lurk first.
there will always be work
to do. learn
to do
the work first
tho
domsch: I wouldn’t say fuck-up. I am rather
trying
to participate and be actively involved.
twizt: open question: anyone know how i can pull
the kraken spot price using
their api? where do I insert
the symbol/pair on
the url
to retrieve
the price?
twizt: truffles:
talking abt domsch
truffles: ill wait for
the spam n check it out i gues
gribble: nanotube was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 2 hours, 5 minutes, and 8 seconds ago: <nanotube> benkay:
the implication would be
that output would be sorted by volume? :)
truffles: i wouldnt wanna be good at
that nonetheless
truffles: i enjoy poking at u mp cuz others dont seem
to dare :D
truffles: u want
to know why i left n returned just ask
mircea_popescu: dood eh ? so what were you in for
these past few months ? larceny ?
truculence ?
mircea_popescu: whoa look at
that,
truffles still exists ?! when did
that happen.
mircea_popescu: <thestringpuller> smarter over
time << word.
this shit sharpens under my very eyes. it's... uncanny.
mircea_popescu: <twizt> i wonder how much money neobee wasted on all
that promotional crap << me
too. but it doesn't seem like
theres ever going
to be a report.
ThickAsThieves: <twizt> you sound
too sales pitchy /// methinks youre attacking
the kid a bit
too prematurely
thestringpuller: mike_c:
true, you will never be able
to fully comprehend
the defense strategy against a large DDoS without having experienced it like say mircea_popescu
mike_c: to a degree. you still must get in
the
trenches
to really learn.
domsch: there is definitely someone in charge. But what’s
the point of all
the
titles in
the early days?
mike_c: it would be better
to learn by attaching yourself
to someone experienced.
this is a bad industry
to learn by failure for
the reasons already mentioned.
twizt: you sound
too sales pitchy
thestringpuller: rather
than
the general
trend of
the internet
to become less intelligent over
time
mike_c: domsch:
that is bs. somebody is in charge.
twizt: drive
thru nubbins
domsch: in
the early days of a startup
titles don’t matter anyways as we still have
to prove all of
the hypothesis and actually get a working model up and running. So all
these fancy
titles are useless. It’s about getting shit done.
nubbins`: is
there an english word for restaurant? :D
mike_c: it would be better at
this stage
to attach yourself
to a more experienced entrepreneur.
ThickAsThieves: is
there an english word for entrepreneur, it's annoying
twizt: gdammit
ThickAsThieves
domsch: and don’t worry. I won#t be
the Chief Compliance Officer, President, CEO, developer and support staff of
this project lol
twizt: what are
their sales?
twizt: i wonder how much money neobee wasted on all
that promotional crap
domsch: yeh I definitely understand where
this is coming from. As people say: “It doesn’t matter what your idea is, it only mattes who you know.”
That’s why I’m
trying
to be surrounded by
the right guys. I am working on
the networkign right now and meet
the right people
that have been
there, done it.
Namworld: domsch, so many young people with your mindset came around
to do BTC services/business, only
to have everything go down because of
the
tiniest mistake. BTC doesn't forgive, hackers don't forgive. Smallest error can doom you.
mircea_popescu: and in
this space, fucking up is extremely easy. just ask danny.
mircea_popescu: a 18yo
that fucks up is losing his key for all
time. you're risking a lot more
than
the 50yo, who already fucked
the girls, drank
the meads, got bored.
mircea_popescu: a 50yo
that fucks up is
therefore losing his key for ages 51-70 or w/e
benkay: maybe reconsider
the point-of-sale angle, sir.
benkay: "nobody knows how
to make movies, but
there are some people who know how
to not make movies"
benkay: ;;google
trilema variety speak
domsch: I am not in
this space
to make a buck and seize every
tiny opportunity, or even
try
to scam people. I’m here for
the bigger picture. I may be young, I may be dumb - but I am
trying.
domsch: I can
tell you a personal story, how I
tried
to run my first startup, (a performance based advertising network, known as CPA = Cost Per Action) and how I was scammed out of my last $1000 and had
to work over
the summer as a construction worker
to get enough money
to continue working on
the project.
benkay: what what, in
the butt
domsch: Good read. And I definitely agree with you on some of
the aspects
that young people (of my age, younger or older) are in
this space
to grasp an opportunity -
these are
the people
that don’t see
the future,
the long-term benefit.
These are
the people
that are
there
to fuck you in
the ass when
they see
the slightest chance
to get away with a few bucks.
ozbot: Bitcoin is creating a whole new set of problems pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: you
the 17yo italian guy with fileyy / 360box game hacks ?
Namworld: A mac mini?
This
thing looks smaller
than a small computer fan. How small is a mac mini?
domsch: me and my
team. I’m not alone. We are around 7 people right now.
benkay: you're all after
the same
thing but not competitors?
domsch: yes I really like what Bigfoot is doing. I don’t
think
that anyone in
this space can be
treated as a competitor (in broad perspective of course) - we are mostly all after
the same and pursue
the same ideals.
twizt: that
thing looks as big as a mac mini
twizt: bro for something
that big
benkay: bitcoin consumer
tech, man.
Namworld: But
this little device is actually quite elegant.
domsch: educating and approaching
the average consumer goes hand in hand.
benkay: well
that's better
than a QR sticker.
twizt thinks its
time for a bunch of big words
to be used, while making little
to no practical sense
ozbot: Bitcoin POS
Terminal - Imgur
benkay: where's
the overlap between "educational aspects" and "tools
to add liquidity"?
domsch: Crypto-related. We are mostly concerned on
the educational aspects of
the space and are creating several
tools
that are
there
to add liquidity
to
the market and help users embrace
the new
technology (not just bitcoin of course) in
their every day life.
tg2: which is sort of why
the SEC was created in
the first place
tg2: I guess
there just needs
to be more liability
there
domsch: Hey guys, Dom here. I’m in
the process of setting up a few businesses and am actively involved in a few crypto-hubs. Just wanted
to hang out in a few IRC channels
to
talk with people from
the space.
tg2: but yeah ultimately it comes back
to
the same issue where
the people running
the business have
to maek hte decisions
Namworld: Assuming majority is in on
the fraud...
tg2: yeah I
think
the reality is it would be possible
Namworld: I'm not sure how such a system would work
to actually prevent fraud. Unless
that system had exclusive amangement of funds. But
then running a business would be close of impossible if all money spent needs
to be approved by shareholders.
tg2: but you still ahve
to
trust
the service
tg2: I knew somebodyw as working on a wallet-splitter where you sent
to an address and it split it by a fixed % and sent back out
to
the other x addresses
mircea_popescu: tg2 anyway, you can
take
the message upstairs. "guy actually said you either play ball or he buries you, it seems improbable but he does have a history of doing exactly
that."
tg2: anybody working on a distirbuted-trust system for
these
types of scenarios?
Namworld: Well
to be fair, it's not a proof of innocence. But justice isn't supposed
to work
that way. It's not supposed
to be guilty until proven innocent.
tg2: but you'd see
the house % going down
