<mircea_popescu> Vexual, to become the butt of every nitwit's conspiracy theories. and don't tell me anyone has higher goals in life, it's not true.
<< This explains a lot, says all of Reddit
mircea_popescu: davout: is it proved? because it sounds like they'd have more to lose by passing on the block reward

mircea_popescu:
<benkay> perhaps the usg isn't as inimical to btc biz as i'd previously gathered
<< where'd you gather that ? reddit ?
benkay:
<mircea_popescu> in general the fewer customers you have the better your product can be // incidentally, this is why i love consulting. customers are typically n=1 where n trusts me and my boys to deliver - which we do. in spades.
mircea_popescu: dub: he's outside refueling the side curtain flamethrowers on his BMW

<< nobody fucking knpows if this is true, this is the mn dollar question in practical cryptography.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell Phinnaeus: I'm curious as to when Micrea had that pic taken where he's in front of the pyramid on a horse.
<< 2003 iirc.
mircea_popescu: usagi hotwallet method:to a hot array of failing hard disks is added a bitcoin wallet, and all backups. Hotter coffee is added splashwise until the hot wallet becomes cold.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You also have to understand. Of the relatively early Bitcoiners MP is practically a saint.

<< yeah, funny how that worked huh.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the buggers' traditional defense is to pretend that the event was a non-event - or, if this is impractical, to continue living in an imaginary world where they 'scooped' the story first, and all of the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.
<< pretty much. a dangerous gambit, of course, as the world also goes about its business scarcely taking notice of their efforts.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It isn't that there is benefit derived from it. It is that when we can beat the Coindesks to the aggregators, it injures them in ways only they can rationalize.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: I still can't believe the SEC implicitly offered MPEx such a glowing endorsement today.
<< whay not.
mircea_popescu: assbot: The First 'Bitcoin 2.0' Kickstarter-like Campaign Was A Wildly Successful $7 Million Disaster - Forbes
<< a good title for once.
mircea_popescu: jurov: let's skip to the part where bitcoiners have personal drivers
<< you're trying to go back in time to 1995 so that you can work hard for 20 years, save a nd buy many bitcoin pizzas in 2010 ?
mircea_popescu: princessnell: i used to think to myself "well, these women are at least promoting the tech in a way that other women can understand." but they're only thinking of it as a consumption tool, which is worse than doing nothing at all.

<< isn't this sexist ? shouldn't it be fatherboard ?
danielpbarron:
<+mike_c> danielpbarron: you own any apple products?
<< ya; my iPhone is the first and last apple crap i'll ever buy
danielpbarron:
<+mike_c> hehe. i think we are talking about limits on freedom. you think people should be free to be racist/homophobic. i'm not sure i agree.
<< you think people should be free to commit acts of sodomy; I am *sure* I don't agree. Which one of our sensibilities is more valuable? My solution is: you enforce your anti-racist w/e on your property, and I'll enforce my anti-homo w/e on mine.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: "the sec is pleased to announce that it suffered a net loss of only $150,000 in securing mr voorhees' conviction"
<< it wasn't a conviction. more like "the sec spent 150k for bitcoin people to go "here's a dime go buy something nice for yourself and stfu""

☟︎ danielpbarron:
<+mike_c> well, relatively serious. is there some other reason you would refuse to use black figurines?
<< there needn't be any other reason; is it my business or not?
mircea_popescu:
<Naphex> funny they let me in everywhere dressed in anything when they see my pockets filled with cash ^.^
<< this guy has a real cash fetish :D
mircea_popescu:
<mike_c> because then you end up with half your country owning slaves.
<< to the great benefit of all those involved.
mircea_popescu:
<mike_c> danielpbarron: you are trying to be cute with the rules, but that is just bullshit. why do you have the rule against black figurines? because you hate blacks.
<< how serious are you ?!
benkay:

benkay:
<Naphex> see benkay knows how to infiltrate // it's a joo
davout: mircea_popescu: "which is why there should be no higher power than a baker"

mircea_popescu:
<benkay> re: gay bakery - don't ever tell anyone why you're refusing to do business with them. 'this just isn't a good deal for me. thanks for your interest.

<mircea_popescu> gotta love people that send you gpg mail and dutifully include a complete summary in the subject line // even better are cleartext responses quoting the original message
benkay:
<mircea_popescu> im gonna consider sponsoring some people i don't know, because i have no friends and don't know anybody. // this is the same problem i have with figuring out which trade shows to attend. i can't find a pattern to which ones produce leads, so i have to make a bunch of mistakes and learn to sniff out the frauds myself.
