ThickAsThieves: the theory articles are often too random in nature
pigeons: i dont think they are interested in the content, they seem like marketers
ThickAsThieves: they cant decide whether to be a source for interesting original btc content, shill, or intellectual/sciences theory
mircea_popescu: what;'s the branding, "the trade rag that sucked so bad we had to steal it from the original nuts" ?
pigeons: it used to be unreadable, it seems to have gotten slightly better sometimes?
ThickAsThieves: btc mag has the branding okay, but the content is really off the mark
pigeons: heh matonis owns bitcoin magaine too
mircea_popescu: i think it'd rather shoot some bowside snark and let it be at that lol
ThickAsThieves: his boss will give him a cookie for the story
ThickAsThieves: hell, email the forbesy guy
pigeons: well it might be a good idea, but gallipi owns part of bitcoin magazine so good luck getting the article in
ThickAsThieves: it goes hand in hand with the argument that a bitcoin ebay cant exist without better prices
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i don't care that much tbh.
Duffer1: that's actually a pretty good idea tat
pigeons: exchange rates is not what they charge you to process your payments

pankkake: I've been out of the loop
Duffer1: have you seen homestory cup? everyone gets a turn at the mic
Duffer1: i don't think i've ever seen scarlett play competitively, i saw her casting at homestory cup, she sounds like she knows her game
Duffer1: naniwa's probably doing alright even though he's not as good as koreans hehe
pankkake: I wouldn't call 12 BTC a "showmatch", though they're probably filthy rich already
ozbot: NaNiwa and Scarlett to go head to head in a BO7 show match. - onGamers
pankkake: wow! you're right they're competing for BTC!!
Duffer1: oh the 12btc one?
Duffer1: what was the bet?
pankkake: ooh someone tried to make a starcraft bet but it was rejected :(
ThickAsThieves: or did cardano never say itd be out this year?
ThickAsThieves: isnt this MP's thing? put money on your delivery if you are for realz
jurov: thestringpuller: i meant the cardano bet
gribble: This is JEOPARDY! - America's Favorite Quiz Show®: <http://www.jeopardy.com/>; Jeopardy! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeopardy!>; JeopardyLabs - Online Jeopardy Template: <https://jeopardylabs.com/>
pankkake: what is that blue screen?
truffles: feels like i just woke up, but it was 10 hrs ago, is time passing me by??
thestringpuller: then there would be more volume
thestringpuller: get bookies to use it
thestringpuller: we need to make bitbet mainstream
jurov: and no bitbet volume, too :(
BingoBoingo: I have yet to see a cardano preorder commitment regime
jurov: if, then is strictly unofficial.
thestringpuller: isn't there like a list of people who already are committing to buying one upon release jurov ?
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: I don't know if there is one worth mentioning.
thestringpuller: so I mean revenue is sure to come through unless the ipo is bubbling like boiling water
thestringpuller: S.NSA already is taking preorders on the cardano
azoo: anyone happens to know the name?
azoo: I recall from few years back that there was a site on which someone could buy shares for BC related companies
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: what is a popular architecture these days?
BingoBoingo: Sometime you find somthing like OpenGenera that only works on DEC Alpha processors running HP TruUx under it
BingoBoingo: pankkake: It isn't quite so simple though. On the popular architectures you get most of the OS choices though.
pankkake: one of the reason the bigger ones (linux, freebsd) are the ones running on those architectures: it's actually tested
BingoBoingo: Another problem is people assume "compiles on" architecture X means once compiled works the sames as compiled on architecture Y does.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: The choice though I imagine ends up to being throw money at code or throw money at chips.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Well, for the fringe shit where they overlap the OpenBSD implementations tend to be better (Machintosh 68K as an example)
BingoBoingo: Want to make a portable DVD player on whatever this month's cheapest chip is? FreeBSD might not support the architecture.
pankkake: well I hope netbsd devs actually understand the code their are touching
mircea_popescu: i think that's more of a ltc thing, no one cares but it can't hurt to have around.
BingoBoingo: Sure, urbit was from scratch, but it can't find anyone capable of actually building anything from scratch. Minix is that ancient thing, couldn't sell textbooks anymore and then they just ripped NetBSD and people still don't care about it.
mircea_popescu: not really related tho, from what i gather urbit was actually a from-scratch thing
BingoBoingo: It's like how apparently MINIX 3 i supposed to be a big thing when they just made small changes to the MINIX kernel and just ripped the old NetBSD userland.
mircea_popescu: the world has very little talent and most of it is sorely mismanaged.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. I figured they would.
mircea_popescu: kinda the end of it, even z80 had a strip poker.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo they failed to make a strip poker
mircea_popescu: it sounds like the us.
KRS|Gotchawallet: yes a count would wear a cape..hmm. it would be cool to be a duke. i have a friend who became a minister by sending an application and paying a $14 dollar service charge. isnt that weird.
mircea_popescu: KRS|Gotchawallet http://assets3.parliament.uk/woa/woa-zoom-popup/woa-large/2593-1-h.tif << as you can see. they're all dukes there. york, lancaster, clarence, gloucester etc
KRS|Gotchawallet: nobody wears capes in the U.S. i suppose if you did you would worry people
KRS|Gotchawallet: maybe..capes could have been made obsolete too
mircea_popescu: KRS|Gotchawallet i thought capes were for cunts.
mircea_popescu: not like it comes with the right/obligation to raise an army, administer justice and certify brides' virginity or anything
KRS|Gotchawallet: if you become a duke, does that mean you wear a cape from now on?
mircea_popescu: there's certainly no value in the scraps of an old dukedom.
mircea_popescu: seeing how the modern state has legislated itself into a corner, i don't see it i tell you.
BingoBoingo: Sounds cheap for a Dukedom. Expensive for a Dukedom of that though.
mircea_popescu: perhaps a little on the expensive side.
mircea_popescu: anyone wanting to become a duke : dukedom for sale. http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1352
BingoBoingo: "Who hasn't been in a drunked stupor?" to cite the Illustrious Toronto Mayor Rob Ford
fiat500: now this is money well-spent http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/12/oculus-raises-an-extra-75-million-to-bring-rift-headset-to-market/
pankkake: In November 2012 Glänzer admitted to sexually assaulting a woman on the London Underground after police witnessed the assault. He said he was on a "drugs binge" at the time of the incident
BingoBoingo: Maybe it speaks kind of well for BTC that Stefan Glaenzer is willing to throw away Dollars or Pounds (Seriously how long ago was the last time a paper Pound Sterling represented an actual Pound of Sterling Silver) in order to get into BTC. Even if it is a suicide mission for his investment.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: The "academic" journal pranked in the Skokal affair
pankkake: what is Social Text?
Apocalyptic: i get what you mean, but do you thing this specific info I quoted isn't accurate ?
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: Isn't citing TechCrunch like citing Social Text? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair
Apocalyptic: "with news today that Passion Capital and Hinrikus, now obviously clued up a little, have joined forces to back new London-based Biticoin exchange Coinfloor."
fiat500: what things?
BingoBoingo: I might have to read a bit. Didn't know his new UK project has backing.
Apocalyptic: in his recent BTC exchange project in the UK
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: Zhou and Amir have actual backing. To my knowledge Nefario just has n00bs still seeking backing.
Apocalyptic: " Zhou Tong and Amir Taaki" you forgot Nefario here
BingoBoingo: Seeing as how VC n00bs are attempting to rehabilitate Zhou Tong and Amir Taaki, it is probably prudent to establish in the future for these sorts of failure why such things should not be considered possible.
BingoBoingo: Knowing whether he was actually hacked or just stole shit because bitcoin is unknowab le except under certain conditions. I'm just rambling in light of how his trust fell, about how in the best case for him his incompetence prevents his handling of this from being the best case, or the second best case with respect to a claim to competence he might have offered or professed to have offered in the past.
BingoBoingo: If TF borrowed from Coinlenders personally though and Inputs.io was hacked, it would seem paying inputs borrowers with coinlenders funds would be most prudent. They are related through the same operator. i am simply imagining how action should have happened in the most charitable situation, the unlikely one in which there was an actual hack and no relic collectors.
Apocalyptic: (aka TF decided to hack himself for the lulz of it)
Apocalyptic: question is how is that related to CL
Apocalyptic: it was an inside theft like bitcoinica
