<< quote from gigantic comment thread in the red/blue post: "You shouldn’t be worried more people of the Red Tribe will start voting for Republicans, Republicans are your best friends, they pacify the Red Tribe.

< heh
BingoBoingo: bingoboingo cazalla heh check out the furry of attention your little project is getting from our enemies. methinks we;ve struck oil here.
<< I think the individual blogs stung from time to time. The concentrated effort on a news as information service scares them.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: Note that it's ironic that I actually made this purchase by mistake because I thought the "Deposit" button meant , yknow, depositing funds, not exchanging currencies. Your system of dollarifying all numbers is obnoxious. Let people type in bitcoin amounts and understand it as a separate currency. You're just confusing things."
<<< they're not JUST confusing things.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: how is XBT better ?
<< it's great in that it gives btc the occasion to show the entire iso process the door.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: No need for a symbol. BTC is fine. People build friendly 'nugh interfaces with BTC
<< yeahy but then how would vessenes' scam ring issue "press releases" about things and stuff ?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: it looks like a B getting probed analy
<<< would you prefer an octopus ?

<< they really should stop competing with the onion.
mircea_popescu: dub: assets is gop sponsored chan
<< yeah, but the great old party in question is the guelph.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: be a real writer and write from Androad with autocorrect

<<< holy shit omfg no wai!!1
mircea_popescu: bounce: huh, sneaky circular argument there. usg says hoster Ts&Cs allowed for monitoring to no privacy for you! -- but how'd they know what server to monitor, hm? tor ought to've made it unfindable.
<< they "just knew" heh.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: do ebay servers get hacked when they discover coupon counterfeiters?
<< no, because ebay servers are already hacked by design, because they use the "proper" software as indicated.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: like how can a foreign website be illegal?
<<< you got an oxymoron problem going there son ?
mircea_popescu: "During the last eighteen months I have not had the good fortune to attend my own funeral, but with that exception I have buried pretty nearly everything I lived for."

<+nubbins`> i found a piece of paper yesterday that said "1:30pm tuesday oct 7" and i can't remember if i'm supposed to be meeting someone here or not
dignork: PeterL | you don't need remittances anymore
<< in theory you are right, but for now you have whopping 5 buyers listed on localbitcoins in Mexico. Seems we are not there yet.
dignork: thickasthieves: in "send money home" scenario, no arbitrage/insurance is required, unless we are talking about hedging volatility risk. Any btc buyer or seller migh assume himself in "remittance business", which means unrestricted lower bound for margin. that's why i think remittance as a business will disappear. It will just turn into a corner case of btc
<->whatever trade.
sgornick: > Bitcoin are B⃦, ฿, and Ƀ.
<--- Which do you prefer?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: so, you know, free all the 13 yos trapped in 28 yo bodies.
<< new mpex fund: freedom28
pete_dushenski: decimation: what I find amusing is that the lefties don't get that they are in a relgious war because they don't even realize that what they are derping about is metaphysics
<< definitely amusing. though you have to figure that *some* know the equalitarianism can't be measured.
ben_vulpes:
<WolfGoethe> once bitcoin "closes the circle" then it shall be a true competitor to the usd
<< what do you mean by "closing the circle"?
ben_vulpes:
<mircea_popescu> if you compare how you treat your pets and how the average liberal intends to treat "those people" you get a scary identity.
<< oh come i only feed the pets when they behave
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> as pictured in the film '300'.
<< it's an insane depiction. the original guy was actually pericle's master.
ben_vulpes:
<mircea_popescu> the only conceivable cure is liberal beatings.
<< oh ho ho ho
ben_vulpes:
<asciilifeform> and who the fuck decided that a perfectly good 'eth0' should turn into 'enp0s29u1u1' ?
<< o yikes
mircea_popescu:
<decimation> "as a community"?
<< yeah seriously. lettuce focus as electromagnetic radiation instead.
thestringpuller: The20YearIRCloud: those places are such cesspools because of liberal ideology

mircea_popescu:
<mike_c> i am an early fan. needs more pics of casascius coins though.
<< this is a point. topical, related, meaningful pics are a good add.
mircea_popescu:
<mike_c> any insight into where qntra traffic is coming from?
<< cazalla ran off with a lass, but he'll be back midweek, ima push him to put quantcast in there, then you can see directly.
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> herr poettering is quite close to destroying linux as a going concern, imho.
<< no. what he is close to is destroying the notion of "updates" as a going concern. which is a fucking brilliant thing, they should have died ten years ago.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic> Linus is a drunk, I don't know why anybody expects anything different from him.
<< linus actually has a point.
mircea_popescu:
<mod6> this qntra.net is p cool. looks good in lynx too.
<< it does!
<dub> not sure about the pink
<< that's because of all the gay.
decimation: re: lennart
<< anyone who has done anything that deals with a relatively unfiltered mass public knows how derpy and stupid the masses are. why should 'open source' be an exception?
TomServo: mircea_popescu: but that's what you were there for right ?
<< Indeed, but still... wow. I was ill prepared.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic> You'll have to let me know what trick is required to target the crud and not the good stuff. I would personally like to drink more quebecois beer..
<< Practice. Also hard liquor.

<sgornick> Re: Qntra.net, I registered @Qntra on Twitter before some griefer /squatter did. Then put a Twitterfeed to push tweets from the RSS feed. When you want the twitter acct, let me know what e-mail to assign it to. It can't be an e-mail already used for any other twitter account.

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i don't recall, do we like j tucker ?
<< o mr. sleepyhead? there's definitely worse muppets out on the "conference" scene.

<< on fire, this guy.
pete_dushenski: xanthyos: so much for my $360 (10 double chai) prediction

<< i recall discussions about wot bridges in here too. none of it is insurmontable, except, making a p2p wot.
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman: well we are exploring this potentially. admittedly it is a much loftier goal than expected at first.
<< myeah.

<JuliaTourianski> that's one of the best reactions I've gotten. at least they're not discussing what i look like.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1: i would neverrrr let some random asshat at a market scan a card
<< definitely. i don't understand all the geriatric derps giving away their card in like restaurants and whatnot. it's patent insanity, like a third of restaurant workers are on drugs, it's the junkie central. more so than jail.
