mircea_popescu: it'd be really hard
to say "My name is Joe Schmoe and I've been working WS for 20 years"
jcpham: all my boxen were rooted when i got
to work
KRS1: Ah sunrise here on
the US east coast. Gonna go enjoy
the fresh air with a cigarette.
Duffer1: i'll wait
till he starts charging for it,
then say it sucks so i can get cheaper price
Duffer1: ah i didn't mean ben's article, i meant
the bloomberg one
gribble: ThickAsThieves was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 18 hours, 8 minutes, and 41 seconds ago: <ThickAsThieves> CySEC is
the Cyprus Exchange
mircea_popescu: you can be sloppy and genius, you can be
trite and
thorough.
mircea_popescu: kinda low hanging, kinda not put
the effort into doing
the whole job, either.
KRS1: no matter how old i get i never seem
to have enough foresight
KRS|Gotyawallet: Duffer1: I never understood
that about
TaT and considering what he does
Duffer1: bro
take a second
to say
that outloud :)
KRS|Gotyawallet: theres another KRS so I was going
to slowly change over..thanks for making me realize
this.
Duffer1: i cringe everytime i see
thick-as-thieves
Duffer1: rather unfortunate username for
that plan
though man
benkay: firing up an #otc reputation a few months ago and ramping up your
trades looks like a real good idea in retrospect, doesn't it?
benkay: i suppose he leaves
the whys and wherefores
to
the low hanging fruits
benkay: mp says
these
things and everyone's like "u crazy romanian:
benkay: or whatever
the eurobutt equivalent is.
benkay: some people don't really feel like going
through
the AML/KYC rectal analysis.
KRS|Gotyawallet: oh i see umm i'm not sure what you mean about
the second part
benkay: a good price for a
tiny amount of butts, or a clean
transaction
that keeps your name out of
the dirt?
benkay: you'll note
the link
to my otc profile at
the bottom of
the page.
benkay: Duffer1: yes,
that's mine.
benkay: not now. not for
ten years, likely as not. and maybe even local fiat is more useful at
that point, and
those who are lucky enough
to hold butts will
transfer in and out of local fiat scrip as appropriate for
their cashflow needs.
benkay: "to some degree" can be all sorts of
things: international
transfers, intergenerational
transfers, highly obscured
transfers, uninterdictable
transfers
Duffer1: was
that mihm article yours benkay?
Duffer1: if everyone just held
then it would be a pure speculation vehicle for fiat and not much else
Duffer1: i dunno man, people still need
to
treat it as a currency
to some degree
benkay: thanks for
the post idea: bitcoins aren't for spending. stop being retarded, silicon valley.
benkay: and why would i do
that now!?
Duffer1: might even be able
to pay btc for it
too
benkay: come march i'll be able
to bike across
the bridge and get my ganj on in
the free market
too.
benkay: quality of us "journalism" has declined
to
the point where
the journos are now
the story and
the story is a picture
benkay: gotta give
the hipsters something
to chew on
pankkake: cascadia: first province of
the cryptostate
ohider: ok I'm out stay
tuned boco.bit will be up
this month
Duffer1: based on
the replies you got i'd say it's probably not a nick squater :P
ohider: @mircea_popecsu are you
the real dude
BingoBoingo: Dunno
that bitmessage is
too worth looking into,
there seems
to be some vulnerabilities associated with how it works
BingoBoingo: Completely safe untraceable email isn't a
thing. You need
to worry more about protecting messages
than
trying
to protect
the channel.
ohider: is
there such a
thing?
ohider: i need
to setup a safe email
mircea_popescu: incredible how often
that is said about google
these days
Duffer1: try
the bitcoin-otc link,
that'll have web of
trust, otc, gribble etc
BingoBoingo: ohider: Or mayb flip
the order of reading and registering aroud
BingoBoingo: ohider: Seems like it's
time for you
to register with Gribble and get
to reading
mircea_popescu: im gonna print
these out for when i'm old. just
too good stuff.
Duffer1: certainly but is
the risk an par with
the reward
ohider: if something has value
there are ways of making money off it
ohider: im not initially worried about making money with
the marketplace
Duffer1: but
to
take
that one step further into facilitating drug
trade, i don't believe you're ready
to hide from
the awesome and
terrifying might of
the usgov
mircea_popescu: except college kids rarely are part of
the local community
Duffer1: i
think a bitcoin based localized community market is a great idea, maybe not so profitable but still something i
think people would use
mircea_popescu: for instance,
the silkroad kid
they caught by discovering
that he came here going "hey guise, how would someone make like a bitcoin
tor craigslist"
ohider: but on
top of exclusively buying illegal contraband it actually had a higher purpose
Duffer1: it would be absurdly easy
to shut
the whole network down
ohider: imagine if silk road was exclusive
to a small community
mircea_popescu: well,
that feeling of being in has a way of
turning into a reality of being in.
ohider: just
those kids who are willing
to do
the work
ohider: theres a feeling of being "in" when your privy
to ways of getting illegal shit
Duffer1: silk road was just bitcoin and
tor
Duffer1: they'd have
to 1 - know about and use bitcoin and special handling for .bit domains, 2 - will have
to exist at your school exclusively, 3 - understand bitmessage communication, 4 - do drugs
Duffer1: your
target market just doesn't exist man
BingoBoingo: And all of
these platforms for some
tiny consumer use
ohider: if joeshmo user wants
to buy an 8ball
Duffer1: with each of
the platforms you're
talking about using, you're adding another hurdle for joeshmo customer
ohider: just give
them
the means
through bitcoin. bit message
to do whatever
they wabt
ohider: on my side,
the
t shirt business is legit legal
ohider: i might be selling
t shirts or i might be selling contraband
ohider: i post my ad for
these shirts and say hey, heres my bit message address i don't want
to discuss financials over email or phone.
ohider: say I'm a seller selling custom
t shirts
Duffer1: if users are free
to list whatever
they went
then you'll have
to actively police
the listings
ohider: it has
to be on
the furnace above board
Duffer1: a bitcoin crowdsourcing site
that's also a craigslist like marketplace for anything?
BingoBoingo: ohider: First I'd want
to know what university...
The wrong one could kill
this whole
thing at
the start
ohider: i don't want
to reinvent
the wheel but it will be a craigslist/kickstart for anything college kids want
ohider: it will be a site
that only students can register accounts on but anyone can view/donate
ohider: i want my site
to be exclusive
to
the university
that i go
to
