jayk: the irs needed to stay out of bitcoin
mircea_popescu: i dun see why exactly you imagine this is personal in any sense. the court as it was failed to do so, that's objective not subjective.
mircea_popescu: many things in bitcoin are an all or nothing proposition, which is why it's so important to always pick either and stick to it.
nubbins`: no, YOU don't trust the court to fairly apportion the fees
mircea_popescu: nubbins` if he doesn't trust the court to fairly apportion the fees, he has no reason to trust the court with a farthing.
nubbins`: so he's risking a negative judgment, and this is the reason to pull the plug on the whole thing? O_O
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the reptillian brain is driven by visual cues. so, once you're visible.
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, you would have to post at bitcointroll for that to happen
asciilifeform: i confess that i wonder when i too will be featured on the 'secret soldier-shills of satanix mpex' lists the lamers are so fond of now.
mircea_popescu: they're still around, grumbling. fortunately, they have no btc to show, so it's mostly a vocal exercise.
mircea_popescu: the EXACT same crap was being peddled by all the people upset that mpoe-pr closed down glbse two years ago.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic this is really crop of the season stuff.
Apocalyptic: "to discredit their competition." // they are already doing a fine job themselves
ozbot: The following accounts are operated by MPEx exchange and affiliates to discredit their competition.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` the judgement, whatever it may be.
VanCleef: jesus fucking christ how many threads does active mining need
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: what's a defendant risking by participating? his trust rating? that's on the line whether he participates or not!
ThickAsThieves: "Free" being a red flag i might be too sensitive to
ThickAsThieves: ah that's the one
mircea_popescu lords it over ThickAsThieves
VanCleef: so obamacare website ws a complete fail today
ThickAsThieves: anyone happen to know the way to look up a UK business license, ive done it before but now i cant recall how
mircea_popescu: so they just accused any greek mathematician of "being pythagora"
mircea_popescu: but looking at bitcointalk, im realising it may have been the converse : to your average monkey of 500bc, anyone with a brain probably looked like the sockpuppet of the one guy with a brain
pankkake: reminds me of the communist dictators
mircea_popescu: all through modernity this was recounted as a "look how monastically humble those folks were" sort of tale
mircea_popescu: which was kinda funny seeing how the guy had been dead for a while.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, here's a fun story : the original pythagoreans all claimed all their discoveries were made by... pythagora.
pankkake: by the way, romain put up some new pics: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=344219.40 (NSFW)
ThickAsThieves: some big brains on that girl
pankkake: anyway, I just wonder how it would turn out when there are no nicknames. maybe everyone will be accused of being MP
pankkake: yes, but I can't guess if it looks for tags or whatever, nor which
mircea_popescu: pulls for tumblr i imagine
mircea_popescu: be nicely seeded with a bunch of good porn, not the shit ozpot spits out
pankkake: there are some open source projects for that apparently
mircea_popescu: i ran a chan forever, you can have the backup
mircea_popescu: yesterday that line was broken, and with it... there goes.
pankkake: (or other worse things to do I can't avoid)
mircea_popescu: up until yest we had this gentleman agreement of sorts that they don't delete the girl's posts and i look the other way on the endless stupid shit they did.
pankkake: I'm still thinking of doing a 4chan-for-bitcoin but I have other better things to do!
pankkake: a bunch of mods are scum too (sorry davout!)
mircea_popescu: VanCleef she's not better informed than i am you know. she'd just say, "what mp said" all the time.
VanCleef: i hate thermos
mircea_popescu: thermos & co flea circus needs to end.
VanCleef: a. make it less of a sausage party b. provide some insight on bitcoin securities in real time
pankkake: just need a way to import my watchlist now
ozbot: Author’s Jarring Claim: The Stock Market Is ‘Rigged’ | Video | TheBlaze.com
mircea_popescu: anyway, mpoe-pr is moving to bitcointa.lk
Neil: It's a little over 23 MB of data I think
mircea_popescu: not like those fly-by-night ventures.
Duffer1: they botched their own board dev, scrapped their own 48/55/28nm projects, lost 500 coins on gox, outright stole (and admitted to stealing) shares from at least two shareholders, and lied about everything so far
Neil: mircea_popescu: Yeah; was initially connecting to a US node; it took 2 minutes. Looked up a Japan node and it just screams.
mircea_popescu: afaik benkay never got that far :D
mircea_popescu: Neil that's pretty good.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell cedivad is that you with bitcointa.lk ?
Neil: Not the block bodies, of course.
Neil: Geez. I've written the beginnings of a bitcoin network node. It downloads and validates all 293400 block headers in 16.544 seconds.
pankkake: there are multiple reports of refunds by check (and only that way) with misspellings and missing signatures
pankkake: and they will likely forget the claims of lost coins on mtgox
pankkake: it almost seems like it was paid by the ukyo shares
Duffer1: turns out the slaughters are proudly reselling hashfast boards/chips as fast hash mining gear
mircea_popescu: whoa check this shit out : Posted from Bitcointa.lk - #wDqzUbLiYxa3zutm
pankkake: this is so sad… the few shareholders that still had a brain are all over it
ThickAsThieves: they cant afford to
mircea_popescu: did they find the real pankkake yet ?
ozbot: [ActiveMining] Official Shareholder Discussion Thread [Moderated]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform note the prominent absence of stuff 75-90
mircea_popescu: should the recent steps in china's attempts to democratize and capitalize (ie, the opening of bank deposits to risk) explode badly and end china, then the us may figure hey, v3.0!
mircea_popescu: but then cccp collapsed and the us figured its ww2 v2.0
asciilifeform: if this were so, it would've ended with vietnam.
chetty: I'm sure they will keep trying
mircea_popescu: the way this game works is you get one new match once you successfully use the previous.
asciilifeform: they might be a little wet. but i'd be surprised if he doesn't try everything potentially flammable to see what can be burned next.
asciilifeform: the arsonist who torched syria has a box full of matches left.
mircea_popescu: all that bullshit died in syria.
mircea_popescu: there's no "international community" any more than the bitcointalk folks are "the bitcoin community"
asciilifeform: it won't surprise me to see 'international komyoonity' airstrikes on uppity third-worlders who won't play ball and deindustrialize. 'punishment for pollution'.
mircea_popescu: Temperature : 44 C/ 111 F (Normal) Temperature Sensor Status : Normal
mircea_popescu: that's why they didn't go ahead and pretend it was the aliens.
chetty: yeah - a bit confusing how they manage that with no warming the last 15 or so years
mircea_popescu: i guess it's better than plan c, "the daisies did it, man!"
mircea_popescu: chetty you know how this global warming soup sounds to me ? like since the 90s govt was hoping for an alien invasion to blame everything on, and by now they've finally decided that's not happening so going with plan b
mircea_popescu: dirt_ it's really not weird at all. exactly by the book how these things unfold.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: the brick and mortar trick is still something new in btcland << hardly. mtgox had them, bitcoin foundation had them (before running of to the uk at any rate)
mircea_popescu: contraband hero huh ? like guitar hero, except the 80s
asciilifeform: soviet tale - one drunken idiot tells another, 'i was at this party, and this guy must've been a serious contraband hero, he's loaded - i stumbled around, looking for the throne, and found a little bathroom with golden toilet!' - other: 'fucktard, so it was you who took a shit in the saxophone!'
novusordo: i was still talking about the bullet
novusordo: cover the shit with a layer of epoxy
mircea_popescu: also that.
asciilifeform: not the friction. the gas compression in front of it.
VanCleef: geez that would be horrible, shitting in a bullet type casing and freezing it and then firing it into someone
mircea_popescu: wouldn't one be worried once his tits are better than the girl's ?
mircea_popescu: and i assure you had mishima had a better candidate available, he'd have picked that one.
asciilifeform: even the fellow mishima put in charge as 'kaisyaku' failed to do the job (cleanly chop off his head)
mircea_popescu: society around him needs to support la revolucion or else... no revolucion.
asciilifeform: now this is probably true. sort of how limonov could not have possibly succeeded
mircea_popescu: they didn't have teh... i dunno how to call it, the endometrium say.
asciilifeform: they could always grow another yukio mishima, this time with a brain, and go productively geopolitically apeshit
mircea_popescu: o look, the breakfast pancake is now moving around on two olives!
mircea_popescu: i really dislike that type, too. and especially their women.
