mircea_popescu: alternatively we violate copyrights and wait to be sued.
asciilifeform: perhaps, i'd love to dig him up & ask him
mircea_popescu: you suppose the material can make it the original content on the cardano ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform don't lose track of all these badly typeset rants, when we burn the old maculature we're going to want new maculature to replace "the history of the world" with.
mircea_popescu: libertards = retards who think there is such a thing as "progress"
mircea_popescu: wait... they actually are. whodda thunk you can run a political movement on the passions of teenagers.
mircea_popescu: it's almost all the libertards of today are too young to have any recollection of 1997
mircea_popescu: how quickly that was forghotten, too.
mircea_popescu: "997 was Media-saturated with El Niño spin - the largest El Niño event in recorded history and a non-negotiable consequence of the Greenhouse Effect! California was to be washed away under unceasing deluge as the Earth burned! The whole thing summed to one rainstorm and some backpedaling."
asciilifeform: i.e. all the features.
asciilifeform: al used english language the way some maniacs use perl
mircea_popescu: this for instance may be the only document on the english web using the otherwise gramatically correct and meaningful phrase

mircea_popescu: for a moment i thought there actually is a pron starlet named miley cyprus

pankkake: didn't miley cyprus do something like that?
mircea_popescu: i can't believe they still do nude panties.
mircea_popescu: so fucking cute, these kids.
ozbot: BitBet - USD/BTC to drop below $40 in 2013
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla over lunch i was loling with one mod, because she observed that "well, for many people bitbet is a great proposition because not only it allows them to win, but also it prevents them from spending their btc in the interval.
kakobrekla: (re last two comments)
kakobrekla: bitbet should change slogan from 'got milk?' to 'better than bank.'
ozbot: BitBet - US Federal Minimum Wage will be raised above $7.25 by the end of 2013
Duffer1: they talked about it a bit on letstalkbitcoin podcast
pankkake: there's dealco.in too
Duffer1: oh one of the get togethers
Duffer1: wasn't that supposed to be an app?
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 there was this attempt to make a more concrete localbitcoins, "buttonwood"
Duffer1: well good luck to them :P
Duffer1: 6months? that's first i've seen of it
mircea_popescu: i mean, it responded to half year's worth of pressure nicely. but it isn't enough.
mircea_popescu: his experience clearly shows that that market needs someone to put his foot down and keep at it for 5+ years.
mircea_popescu: mjr_ 's thing is going the same way.
mircea_popescu: localbitcoins is more like a brand than like an actual service servicing local markets.
Duffer1: i wonder who their target market is that isn't already serviced by localbitcoins
mircea_popescu: hahaha that actually sounds like a fucking pitch.
FabianB: looks like a webwallet to me
mircea_popescu: yeah i don;'t quite grok what it's supposed to be. thought maybe the owner is here.
Duffer1: looks like a way too complicated localbitcoins
pankkake: I'd pay 0.05 BTC just to say "butts"
mircea_popescu: it's a case study in how to fuck up, this.
mircea_popescu: worst insult of all, nobody in the actual biz paid him even the equivalent of a bit into cheeseburger.
pankkake: right, this is bitcoin
pankkake: why does the forum need ads, they have so many btc already
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it first and foremost got a chance because dooglus. it'd have died an ignominable death if almost anyone else'd have tried an exact copy.
mircea_popescu: as the othersd say, gotta be great, and more importantly gotta be someone first.
mircea_popescu: mikaeldice it's a coin in the well already, and has been since summer 2012.
mircea_popescu: apparently you can't mismanage a property into the shit for 2+ years and then have it survive. who knew!
mircea_popescu: check that out, forum ads are dead.
ozbot: Two years of forum ads: get cheap forum ads for a limited time
mikaeldice: This new site, for example, has some clear flaws. 1% house edge with no commission, but they give away bitcoins every hour and promise 50% commission to all referrals. The math doesn't add up.
mikaeldice: I have addressed a couple of small problems that other games haven't, but I'm not at all convinced that it'll stand up to the signal:noise ratio with so many sites out there now. Time will tell eventually
asciilifeform: if one wishes to gamble, there's always daytrade
asciilifeform: i still think the phootoore of btc games is battles of wits, not luck
BingoBoingo: Well, I mean the problem with new dice sites is that the barrier of entry is high. Just-Dice got to eat Satoshi-Dice's lunch because it offered something very different and in many ways better. SatoshiDice's new tribute game is going no where because... In spite of their establish name the new game just sucks.
mikaeldice: I'm not too worried about this one.. "How Does Dicelead Proof Us Each Roll Is Legitimate? dicelead is provably fair which mean you can verfiy each roll is absolutely fair ,so we are only run dicelead.com for fair purpose and no way to change any result of it" ah, well, okay then
pankkake: try to find something unique
mikaeldice: damn, yet another dice site launched.. mine is going to be just a coin in the wishing well by the time it's done
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell oleganza what's the point of a blog w/o a comment section ?
dexX7: and also "Goat says ch00o0o00 ch0000o000o00o0!!!1!!" linking to an article about bitcoin and what greenspan said. funny rotation
pankkake: "join the rich elite" was the mcxnow motto or something
mircea_popescu: anyone remember Elite ? the game publiosher
dexX7: https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adinfo "Trade 93 Altcoins to join rich elite !!!" lol
mircea_popescu: spiel says hollyowood's dogfood, and he has a point. they gotta do something.
mircea_popescu: get your hollywood friends to read it anyway.
ThickAsThieves: nice article mp, would be interesting if you turn out proven correct
Namworld: lol, that coinion article.
ozbot: You’re gonna have to learn that variety speak pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
