herbijudlestoids: all
the others you need
to click an ad or watch a video or whatever
herbijudlestoids: seems unlike other bitcoin faucets in
that it really just is a faucet
Duffer1: it looked like a space
themed desktop background rather
than a game
herbijudlestoids: actually
thats an idea i had while reading aboutthe battle, game servers people can rent in BTC
BingoBoingo: I'm starting
to get kind of interesting in
this idea of poaching
talent from places
that aren't East St Louis.
Duffer1: i "watched" a live stream of
the battle on
twitch.tv
herbijudlestoids: i gotta admit
the description of
the battle was quite interesting for someone who has never played
the game
herbijudlestoids: ThickAsThieves: i read about
that on slashdot, some interesting comments, some people put
the value at half or less, a lot of people mentioned how reading about EVE battles is better
than
the battles :P
kakobrekla: is
this how eulora is going
to go down? "a village ripped in Eulora, 2000 BTC btc carriages destroyed and horses burned"
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: If I still was active on Eve
the best I could have supplied for
that would have been a gnat like
thing full of viscious, still more gnat like
things.
ozbot: Spaceships worth more
than $200,000 destroyed in biggest virtual space battle ever |
The Verge
kakobrekla: ;;google "You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find
this matter
to be actually something which I
think I would never understand."
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I guess I'll practice
this salesmanship
thing. Shame I couldn't be practicing it at
this new work circus. I mean seriously public speaking and reading shit verbatim?
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Was it? I just
thought
they had bad
taste in links
kakobrekla: BingoBoingo,
that comment from happy wheels is a spam, you do know
that rite?
BingoBoingo: I guess I'll start practicing
this weekend.
ThickAsThieves: if youre american, youve been in
training for sales your whole life
mircea_popescu: get a friend, make pitches each day, send me one a week, i'll
tell you when you're good for vegas.
mircea_popescu: hahaha. seriously, do you have any employment
truffles ?
jcpham: does it mine
the litecoins
though
truffles: if
they knew who u were would
they want
to work for u :D
ThickAsThieves: Package
type: QFN64 8mmx8mm (with another option of QFN64 7mmx7mm possible)
mircea_popescu: truffles no, make
them an effort
they certainly can't refuse, but won't.
truffles: make
them an offer
they cant refuse?
mircea_popescu: people are more a resource
than cash, yet people steal cash way more often
than people.
mircea_popescu: no, someone who can go
to each bookie,
take
their main line man out
to lunch, hussle him
to
talk
to me.
herbijudlestoids: what are you after? someone who can lay bets off into
the casinos?
mircea_popescu: maybe people are better at pricing
the future
than given credit for.
mircea_popescu: in fairness
the fallout is a lot less
than i imagined
this summer.
ozbot: ASICMINER: Entering
the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It
ThickAsThieves: lol,
the forum whined so hard
they got Friedcat
to finally comment
mircea_popescu: the entire rest of bloodsuckers is going away. i just need
the one guy.
mircea_popescu: no,
that's
the beauty of it. i won't need a joe pesci.
Duffer1: you'll need a joe peschi
though
too
mircea_popescu: somewhere
there's an old greaseball who knows all
the angles of line betting.
mircea_popescu: so
that
this
thing may ruin
the faces and lives of people i don't like.
mircea_popescu: because i don't wish
to destroy, i wish
to exist. bitcoin is essential
to
this, and so here i am doing
things i don't particularly wish
to do on
their own,
herbijudlestoids: i saw on linkedin
there was at least one HF looking
to hire BTC
trader, so someone must be looking
to build
their book
ozbot: Twitter / Namecheap: @Mircea_Popescu LOL,
they're ...
mircea_popescu: yeah,
this sounds promising. and i'll have
to do what, explain
to
them what
they're doing wrong ?
mircea_popescu: the ones
that failed
to get listed on mpex and imagine
they're into bitcoin ?
mircea_popescu: except
they miss about half
the pics, like say
the drunken shots of her getting shagged in front of
the courthouse.
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Betting is a chore. I could not imagin
the pain of running a venture.
mircea_popescu: buncha old farts who
think
themselves cutting edge because
they sorta-can read
the email
their granddaughter sends
herbijudlestoids: i
thought i knew someone in online sports advertising but it was music and
the business has been sold
to VICE anyway
BingoBoingo: truffles:
The
things are
these are
things no one knows
ThickAsThieves: you know
the imaginary hotshot pro i made up in my head
BingoBoingo: The Mariners might be 10K BTC
this year and 1 K BTC next year
mircea_popescu: then i'd have
their book, go
through
the past 20 years,
talk
to everyone.
mircea_popescu: because i'd have
to have a bank do it for me, and i'd have
to impose
they interface btc, which
they don;'t wish
to do etc.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yes, but i can't do
that while random fuckwits keep smoking pot and getting arrested.
herbijudlestoids: he *always* used
to hassle me about making him an algo
to arb
the different online markets
herbijudlestoids: one of my friends has my old job, ill ask him if
the dude still works
there
herbijudlestoids: he owned a couple of horses and was relatively well known with
the sydney horse racing community
herbijudlestoids: and one of
the security guards happened
to be extremely well off, but he worked as a guard
to keep
the
tax offic eoff his back
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves intrade is ded. not sure if popular
tbh, but definitely dead.
BingoBoingo: You know for someone who uses shady forum advertised sports books quite a bit... I prolly ought
to look harder at who runs
them.
herbijudlestoids: many moons ago i used
to work as an ops guy for a large cable
tv company
ThickAsThieves: well what is
the most popular form of sports betting, its
that intrade shares shit right?
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids i would love
to
target high net work bettors, strictly
to hear why
they
think it sucks.
herbijudlestoids: the other option is ramp
the entry costs and
target high net worth betters
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves obviously more research is needed here. for one
thing, how do we even know
they're
truffles.
mircea_popescu: which is a question
that has
to be resolved bfore i
throw money at marketing people.
mircea_popescu: it would seem so, but i have suspicions
that it's simply a question of
there not being a market.
