mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i just went through the list of names there, which remarkably i had pretty accurate to begin with. crossing out the outright liars, like psychological compulsive sort, and the idiots, you're left with maybe 2-3 names
BingoBoingo: I got the /. twice, but I am beneath the background necessary to treat this right
copumpkin: but anyway, as I said, I'm not opposed to doing that at some point :) thanks
BingoBoingo: I honestly am beneath this project
mircea_popescu: if you note, i said "full length treatment, with notes"
copumpkin: it doesn't trump that I have to get up for work in a few hours and need my beauty sleep
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: I'm not opposed to it, but am not in a huge rush to spend my time on it either :) and would rather it be done in a formal setting so someone else can take care of summarizing/transcribing it :P
mircea_popescu: seeing how rthis topic is bitcoin, it kind-of trumps any other topic, even if some other topic may offer the illusion of importance.
BingoBoingo: Volume of text versus affirmed text
mircea_popescu: copumpkin the usual benefit. a furthering of human knowledge on a topic.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Given the nothingness published pre-August2012 publishing means little. "Shall be delivered"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo for this purpose publishing beats signing.
copumpkin: I don't see what the benefit would be
BingoBoingo: copumpkin: DO a writeup in the next couple weeks, GPG sign it
mircea_popescu: if that does happen, this write-up will be a great thing to have.
copumpkin: given how much the fucker talks about me
copumpkin: not that I'll really want to
copumpkin: I'm sure if this goes anywhere serious they'll call on me to testify
BingoBoingo: copumpkin: My time is probably the least valuable, but your insight is probably the most.
mircea_popescu: what, you think i just sprout this shit randomly cause i'm bored on irc
mircea_popescu: copumpkin you're in a very good position because you have the skill and the experience.
copumpkin: joecool: you've made that joke before, it's getting old
BingoBoingo: copumpkin: The veggies need their prison tomorrow. When you wake...
copumpkin: I'm sure you can find someone with less valuable time to summarize the shit
mircea_popescu: irsrs tho.
copumpkin: fuck that
mircea_popescu: srsly, it's the best thing you can do right now.
mircea_popescu: are you under counsel to stfu or anything ?
mircea_popescu: how about you make a full length treatment of the whole thing, with notes ?
copumpkin: well, I read the whole thing, not sure carefully fits
copumpkin: I'm sure he was freaking out and trying to come up with more convincing crap
mircea_popescu: so i take it you read this whole thing ? carefully ?
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: I dunno, there were several pretty awkward moments when it was clear he'd been caught in a lie
mircea_popescu: which says, don't mess with the stupid, his brain's well rested.
mircea_popescu: copumpkin no, not for both of them. romanian expression is "nu te pune cu prostu' c-are mintea odihnita"
copumpkin: moustakis had to stay focused to catch all the crap the guy was saying, and I'm sure pirate was in overdrive trying to crank out more crap
mircea_popescu: it's like you sign up to be a chiropractor, and you end up sent to practice in the loony bin
copumpkin: must've been exhausting for both of them
mircea_popescu: i pity that moustakis guy.
BingoBoingo: Document one was the lulzier doc
copumpkin: I liked the bit where they said "so wait, your company folded and you're in trouble now because someone screwed you out of 202k coins, and you forget who that someone is?"
mircea_popescu: that's some epic shit right there.
mircea_popescu: "Pirate: And when I find that information, I will give you the updated information and show you that this was not a Ponzi scam. Just give me time. I promise you."
mircea_popescu: https://www.google.com/search?q=Mercedes-Benz+E+230+(W210)&complete=0 << that, for instance, is imo one of the best cars ever made.
BingoBoingo: Eh, I'll keep driving the shitty family sedan. No one suspects...
mircea_popescu: (and my zipper's not done in that shot, either)
copumpkin: mircea_popescu is too cool to drive, walks around with an open shirt on the street
BingoBoingo: Oh, the reasons I found a drive through miracle maker for my disorderly conduct misdemeanor, allegedly
copumpkin: they should ask the FBI for some of those SR coins and buy that mclaren that went up recently
mircea_popescu: and if they were taken seriously they'd be just... you know, off to soylent plant
copumpkin: and the guy is getting the SEC to drive him there in a car cause he doesn't have a car anymore
mircea_popescu: e/nasizm thing as some suggest. it's simply that most defendants are too stupid to live
mircea_popescu: this is really the reason prosecutions are so successful in the us. it's not really some sort of nefarious police stat
BingoBoingo: Well this is just a civil case
mircea_popescu: (ie, there's an absolute lowest limit a judge'll allow for self-critting idiocy, otherwise anyone from the inner cities would be doing >9k years)
mircea_popescu: well actually... i think in his case the meth defense cuts in
copumpkin: I think he got himself into more trouble there than he would be in if he'd just admitted it
mircea_popescu: actually... he only came up with chaang noi after his 6 months of laying low for the bst to blow over.
copumpkin: I was amazed at how much crap he spewed in there
copumpkin: there was no way for pirate to think that goat's name is chaang noi :P
mircea_popescu: all this comes as news to me.
mircea_popescu: i thought fraudsters never lie in court.
copumpkin: all over the placE :)
copumpkin: he's also muddying things by lying
mircea_popescu: yes, but then pirate was an idiot.
copumpkin: lol, you google my nick my name is the first result
copumpkin: get with the times

mircea_popescu: A: Core stuff. This isn't all --
mircea_popescu: A: And then $500 deposit from Imsaguy?
mircea_popescu: A: Because it wasn't on there. It wasn't on this database or on this website. It was tracked through a - what was that - not Sales Force. I can't remember the name of the website. It was something we just worked out together. And it has a lot of his transactions. This account looks mostly like my stuff.

BingoBoingo: Seriously, baseball's saving grace is it mixes the randomness of dice with the potential for talent
mircea_popescu: whatever you do to your resume it can't end up worse than that exchange expert guy from a while back
cazalla: mircea_popescu: can i put that mention on my resume? seriously though, there is much to learn here for someone like me
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: They might. For football it might be necessary. Actually the biggest PED among handegg players I've seen is the ganja.
BingoBoingo: I've only had one huge gambling loss totally plastered.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if superbowl/whatever advertising sports will eventualyl run out of money so bad they'll add new rules such as "each player must drink twelve shots of vodka before going on the field"
mircea_popescu: i wonder if the same is true of the players.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Actually totally plaster in sports have offered much better returns than sober and axious
mircea_popescu: but generally speaking, the dice model is the engine that can power a lot of cool applications down the road.
mircea_popescu: tbh i think dices have a future, but as backing for other services. they're currently exposed to the general public becaus e whatever, we're in the pdp and vax days over here.
BingoBoingo: And this is why Dice suck.
mircea_popescu: obviously not the dice site's problem, but also kind-of dangerous for the random idiot.
mircea_popescu: this is actually a bit of a problem, people can sit down at their computer drunk as fuck and think hye, gamble my whole wallet on dice!
mircea_popescu: "Allowing drunk patrons to gamble and serving obviously intoxicated patrons are both illegal under Nevada law. Johnston's lawyer says his client's story is bolstered by surveillance video and eyewitness testimony."
BingoBoingo: Oh, Archer mentioned Bitcoin this week
moiety: i just heard of it today too
