mircea_popescu: come to think about it, vexual should be altcoin mascot.
ThickAsThieves: if you overlap the 5 and the 2 then use the 1 as the connector
ThickAsThieves: 512 is the altcoininati number for infinity
ThickAsThieves: [18:22] <nubbins`> there's your xmas shopping done <<< lol

lippoper: there was a lot of troll in the last sentence
nubbins`: pankkake, is that a monospace font?
nubbins`: only the men who earned their wings knew, you mean
lippoper: No one really knew what a vag looked like thanks to all the bush
nubbins`: now the child is immediately dipped in Purell hand sanitizer
mircea_popescu: specifically to avoid the female "shit on your baby" reflex.

mircea_popescu: how are the girls supposed to live if you don't pay ?
pankkake: I'm too much of a scrooge to ever pay for those things
nubbins`: i think most people doing that don't have fun
mircea_popescu: some scams are fun. you go to vegas and drop a coupla grand, whatever, it's an amusement park.
nubbins`: they're popular with screenprinters who do things the old-school way (ink on vellum)
mircea_popescu: yup. i ate a lot of those.
pankkake: so when you get scammed, you can say "at least the guy was good"
mircea_popescu: scammer - scammor. to distinguish between the fucktard and the person sort-of doing it, technically, but with coolness excuses.
nubbins`: brings me back to a heated grade-school argument over "better" vs "bettor" to describe one who bets
pankkake: is that glamor+scammer?
nubbins`: even more pleasant, then
nubbins`: as an aside, i find "scammor" to be a pleasant, if unintentional, spelling
Namworld: Would have sounded about the same as in english that way.
Namworld: Couldn't they have just changed the y for an i? Monopoli
mircea_popescu: i think so
Namworld: Looks like it's written "Monopolio". Is that it?
Namworld: Wait, in the header. What's the name on the board. It ends with O.
mircea_popescu: it's just too stupid for anything else.
mircea_popescu: my magical future predictive ai (whose name is joan) fails to predict any possible alternative to this thing taking over altspace.
deadweasel: and the circle of life goes on.
ThickAsThieves: [17:41] <lewicki> by your definition that makes Altcoin just as purposeless though, right?
decimation: right, Ethereum just does whatever, because it's turing complete.
mircea_popescu: does that actually require any chances on the coin side ?
decimation: maybe you can trade altcoin for ethers or whatever
decimation: TAT's altcoin should be ported to work inside Ethereum
mircea_popescu: i thought they were pumping it together.
deadweasel: pankkake: start pumping out altcoins like TAT, maybe you'll pull some off btc ;)
mircea_popescu: actually... perversely enough that bet depends on there not being a lot of power thrown in early.
mircea_popescu: it actually might keep it going to 285k
pankkake: that's not going to help me win the diff under 10% bet :(
mircea_popescu: something like that
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this more or less reduces to your old observation that 'your dog thinks that you are an exceptionally large dog of the same type'
asciilifeform: and their brains hurt
asciilifeform: the uninitiated tend to group mpex as 'something somebody wrote'

asciilifeform: re: mpex performance and outraged lusers: there was an article, many years ago, discussing an overheard: 'is that a real program, or is that something somebody wrote'
pizzaman1337: mircea_popescu: well, nice work. It's just hard to believe, I suppose.
mircea_popescu: it's best showing on the battlefiled for a long... long time.
asciilifeform: all of this quite possible. u.s. reportedly had some very spiffy logistics code in gulf war I.
mircea_popescu: perhaps a very tall, slender student perfectly capable to suck a golfball through a garden hose.
mircea_popescu: and a student did the boondoggle.
mircea_popescu: hm... that's possible. the alternate crackpottery, of course, being that his actual work is still classified
mircea_popescu: actually, if there's any merit in the theory of history repeating itself, we could guess that the largest bubble for the next ~3 centuries will be the result of a RoB corporation being granted the priviledge to trade one ships' worth of drugs in the us as a result of a defeatr of the us in battle.
asciilifeform: because the thing he did for the next 25 years was a ridiculous and worthless usg boondoggle
asciilifeform: dollars to doughnuts that lenat did not write eurisko. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: spain at the time was roughly the us of today : immense empire run by idiots, access to all the gold in the world that did them no service etc etc.
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't even have to go that far. just, you know... england beat spain into the dirt by using privateers.
asciilifeform: (any naval battle with something other than muppet state should be expected to include such rockets)
asciilifeform: actually the u.s. navy lusing is more to do with the invention of the modern anti-ship rocket
mircea_popescu: (kind of the reason nobody seriously believes the us has any real chance in any serious military confrontation)
