KRS-: wouldnt a
ton of coin be dumped by
those who cant use it anymore
mircea_popescu: other
than
the penny ante noobs not rly anybody still using
them as best one can determine
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids
they've been dead man walking since april 2013.
herbijudlestoids: wihle i was on reddit last night i saw someone with a
thread about how mtgox was going
to bust soon,
they apparently have even stopped btc withdrawals?
pankkake: so you can always chose
to go elsewhere easily
KRS-: If Russia makes BTC illegal with all businesses and financial institutions what market value hit do you
think we'd see? 10%?
pankkake: with wordpress.COM
too by
the way :p
mircea_popescu: six months down
the road you will be kicking yourself.
ozbot: Bitcoin Investment - 55% - 450% DAILY FOR 80 DAYS. Lets make Bitcoin
the international currency norm
pankkake: also needs backups
that are dead man proof
herbijudlestoids: so between posting
the blog article here and on reddit i managed
to drive 180 views
to
the article
mircea_popescu: pankkake why not ?
the more you fuck up for other people
the more you have reason
to love
them.
pankkake: I do host my own blogs, but it
takes
time, sometimes I fuck up, etc. I don't want
to do
that for other people
mircea_popescu: "if your daddy doesn't have a beard you have
two moms"
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: i showed your blog
to a few people over
the weekend,
they *all* asked if
the guy in
the photo with
the beard is me
pankkake: WP.com is open source
too, but… it's work
to maintain it. I don't see
the point
herbijudlestoids: so basically i gotta go and setup fkn wordpress and buy a domain just
to write some blogs i didnt originally intend
to write lol
mircea_popescu: just don't help
them do other
things. buy ford cars, don't buy ford umbrellas.
mircea_popescu: all hitler needs is for ordinary people
to keep using google.
herbijudlestoids: im sure in
the cases where iv said something stupid enough
to warrant your comment, ill hear about it from gribble anyway :P
herbijudlestoids: i
think im ok with most of
those
things, and i feel like as long as
there is no ads on
the site
then its probably costing google more
than
they are making off me in analytics
mircea_popescu: you don't want
to help google in any way whatsoever unless it's paying for it.
mircea_popescu: you don't want
them filtering your comments, or generally,
mircea_popescu: you don't want anyone deciding if and when
to put a "warning page" on your material,
mircea_popescu: you don't want
to be stuck if you want
to move domains,
mircea_popescu: you don't want some random idiots with a "here's a link
to our other stuff" on your page,
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: i hadnt really planned
to make it into a blog post, but duffer1 asked if i had and i
thought maybe it might be interesting
to see what happens if i put it in a blog post :P ...whats wrong with blogspot?
jurov: or
they ran out of power in slovenia?
dub: I
thought ebay.uk was adding virtual currency category onfeb 10
nubbins`: "Listings for virtual currency are not permitted on
the ebay.ca site and
this category will be removed on February 10, 2014. You may continue
to list
these items on
the ebay.com site in
the Coins & Paper Money>Virtual Currency category in
the Classified Ad format only."
turbo_ac100: kakobrekla is scamming himself; not enough
troll food in
that one, sadly
mircea_popescu: the paradox of honestly : idiots fucking up will amply report how it's all your fault. when you fuck up and you cover it... well... nobody really wants
to mention it, cause w/e, kinda embarassing.
mircea_popescu: turbo_ac100 make sure
to make a
thread about how bitbet's been scamming users
tho.
turbo_ac100: But
the were paid. Gift from kakobrekla I suppose.
Thanks.
jayk: did kakobrekla make
the appl mistake?
turbo_ac100: Weren't all No bets on 'BitBet haxxed in 2013' supposed
to be refunded and not paid out?
mircea_popescu: and
that
too was a lot of work, even if not necessarily obvious immediately.
benkay: i actually
think setting up build servers would be fun
mircea_popescu: he's incentivised
to have
the
thing running smoothly., which it has been.
benkay: so he's incentivized
to ship more
to improve his profits
pankkake: writing
the exchange can be fun.
the rest… eh
benkay: how is
the relationship with kakobrekla set up for ongoing work on bitbet?
mircea_popescu: it is a lot of work, yes.
that's part of why it's worth doing, it always pays
to sink your
teeth in and do a fundamental bit well
than
try and chew a little off
the edges.
benkay: 's why i keep saying stop saying clojure
to mp
benkay: requires knowing how long it really
takes
benkay: asciilifeform: it's a
turd, but it ain't java.
jayk: i
think he charges .05?
jayk: or
there is a free verison but it might give yoau headache
KRS-: an easier way
to get BTC because of
the inflated value?
jurov: benkay i'm visual person and do bes with actual shapes, not just screenful of
text
pankkake: altcoin singularity = you only need
to input parameters, exchange, pool comes online, middlecoin mines it and sells it
ThickAsThieves: i dont
think i wanna subject
this channel
to me describing it
KRS-: ThickAsThieves can you describe
the altcoin singularity? I'm not sure what
to make of all
this coin sillyness.
mircea_popescu: jayk a number
thereof. i need an accountant for an exact count. why ?
pankkake: next you're going
to
tell me you use a MOUSE
jurov: we are not
talking about real men
pankkake: IDEs? visual debuggers? real men don't use
that
jurov: php does not
to
this day (except some commercial ones)
jurov: all
this ruckus.. just use some mature language supported by IDE with proper visual debugger
ThickAsThieves: the longer we
take
to get
to
the altcoin singularity,
the less bitcoins we can make off it
pankkake: oh god another DAC. where is
the code, how is it supposed
to work, stfu
KRS-: Other currencies, like Bitcoin, use dumb hard coded ‘mining’ processes
that produces coins at a fixed rate
that can’t change.
Jere_Jones: mircea_popescu: I'm in process of writting an exchange and
the devil is in
the details. Anyway,
that was a joke from a manager
that I used
to have where everything was simple and just needed a "couple of if statements".
mircea_popescu: Namworld im
trying
to give
the kid a breadloaf and he;'s
trying
to price himself out of it.
Namworld: What
the heck is
this you are all
talking about? Some retarted process
that equals job security because you're
then
the only one able
to update and maintain
the business apps and software?
benkay: so: dev priorities
then
mircea_popescu: but all
the fun aside, srsly, a foss clojure implementation of
this would actually be a great
thing.
benkay: well, it's just lisp so
they shouldn't have
too hard of a
time
