Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
kakobrekla: bought a fucking car. why does
this ring a bell.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla well old
timer, was really excited when btc broke 30, posted a story on forum about how he bought btc w/o his partner's knowledge out of
their savbings,
then sold out and bought a car

kakobrekla: zomg wtf is

ozbot: So you
think you're going
to start a Bitcoin business, right?
ThickAsThieves: and
then gives some examples of
things he's considering
ThickAsThieves: "We do respect your answer
to
this
thread, but we do not like
that you emidialty put your label "scammy" on our project."
mircea_popescu: kind of what we're doing here, for
that matter.
trying
to breed
the sort of people
that can compete with mpex.
mircea_popescu: it's not hard in a
technological sense,
that's
the easy part (even if it's what
the emotion mill people seem
to stumble over)
mircea_popescu: sure, just as soon as
that other man is willing
to eat dog.
mircea_popescu: and
the criterion is attached
to
the reality rather
than
the appearance.
mircea_popescu: ie,
the appearance and
the reality easily cleaves (a word is an engineering
term if appearance and reality never cleave)
mircea_popescu: the problem with both of
those being
that
they're not engineering
terms.
bloctoc: I wonder how long it will
take for
the phrase "Silk Road"
to replace
the word "Al Quaida" as American Press' most feared
thingy.
mircea_popescu: basically you have
two unreconciliable "realities", and only one is real.
mircea_popescu: benkay i have my doubts 4k btc found
their way
to said dubious sr
thing.
benkay: pretty astonishing number of coins hitting
these mktplacen
jborkl: if you can not
trust your
two week old internet drug dealer-- what is next?
mircea_popescu: perfect excuse
to
the "we run off with
teh coin"
thing. much better
than
the used up "we were haxed" workhorse.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well... not
these folks. but maybe some other folks.
Duffer1: "Our initial investigations indicate
that a vendor exploited a recently discovered vulnerability in
the Bitcoin protocol known as “transaction malleability”
to repeatedly withdraw coins from our system until it was completely empty."
ozbot: Bank Zachodni WBK – Cashing out Bitcoin
through Prepaid VISA Cards | Deep Dot Web
ThickAsThieves: "First off, Facebook says
that San Francisco residents have
the smallest chance of getting into a relationship among people in any of
the 50 largest American cities."
mircea_popescu: then
the investors who he did find
that didn't heed my "you will be butchered" warning got
their fingers caught.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves "because
they were saving it so karpeles could offer a "credible" lie as
to why his well known fractional reserve scam blew open" ?
Duffer1: who could have seen
that coming
ThickAsThieves: Karpeles: "The Bitcoin Foundation has hired Bitcoin Developers for
the purpose of promoting Bitcoin use. I guess
the most puzzling part is why
this issue hasn’t be[en] solved since 2011."
ThickAsThieves: "Is
there anything
the Bitcoin Foundation can do
to help solve
this problem?"
benkay: that's
the kind of home remodeling i can get into...
benkay: pankkake: i want
to sleep in a completely-blacked out room
that spins up
the lights with
the daylight.
pankkake: ideally I'd have
the lights follow
the cycle of day
benkay: shitloads of flux,
tuned for summer spectrum
davout: pankkake: haha i remember reading
this article a while ago, awsum
benkay: i'm a huge fan of
the pot lights
pankkake: overall I like
the halogen replacements.
they definitely are not low consumption but
they seem
to last longer
benkay: think also of all
the energy recoverable from
the mass headed
towards
the landfill
mircea_popescu: so you know, instead of having
that
thing settle somewhere in
the desert, it simply got moved in your kitchen.
mircea_popescu: however
they contain between .7 X and 2.2 X mercury in
themselves.
mircea_popescu: ceteris paribus
the halogen lamps reduce
this
to about .4 X
mircea_popescu: the coal burning power plants release X mercury into atmosphere as part of
their working.
pankkake: anyway,
those
things don't reduce electrical consumption and just create more problems for power plants :p
mircea_popescu: Puis j’ai mis en route un sèche-linge, deux plaques électriques, et un emerge -u1avDN world, le
tout en musique grâce à un ampli à
tubes. Comme il faisait un peu noir j’ai allumé les 8 ampoules halogènes qui étaient à ma disposition. Et comme il faisait un peu chaud avec
tout ça, j’ai ouvert la porte de mon réfrigérateur.
mircea_popescu: Pour manifester mon soutien à cette initiative
trop peu médiatisée, j’ai éteint à 20h30 les deux ampoules à LED qui m’éclairaient.
