pankkake: but doing
this (risking money just
to disprove random guys)
tells me it's
time
to step away from
the computer
thestringpuller: that states "If you want
to enter
the crypto currency game, you need
to use crypto!"
thestringpuller: lol on of my buddies just made a storyboard for a nice intro
to gpg video
jcpham: it usually
takes me 3
tries
to plug in usb
mircea_popescu: because i had some chocklate on my
table and i reached for it w/o looking
mircea_popescu: it was a
texbook example of, give a kitten a computer, it's going
to
take a nap on it
mircea_popescu: they kept selling insurance policies
to one another and
then foregoing on collecting and all sorts of nutty accounting schemes
gribble: jurov was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 35 minutes and 7 seconds ago: <jurov>
thestringpuller afaik
there were problems caused by exchange rate fluctuations and undelivered packages
jurov: thestringpuller afaik

pankkake: I like
the idea of silver or gold funds, but
they don't seem
to last long
thestringpuller: or you know you could just cash settle
the shares by you know liquidating
the silver into BTC
thestringpuller: Just send me a message signed with your public withdrawal address and I'll get back
to you. As you can imagine going
to
the post office 40 or 50
times is a little
time consuming with everything else I have
to do.
Thx ^^
thestringpuller: I'm in
the middle of processing
TU.SILVER holders right now, in fact I just handled a 10 oz and a 40oz redemption (the 40 is shipping out
today if
the post office is open). No one's silver is missing.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic nothing good, but
too soon
to be definite.
KRS1: seren1ty: Fontas punched my wife in
the face last night.
This morning she pooped bitcoins.
pankkake: love
the "I go all-in on anything he calls a bubble"

thestringpuller: Jun 2016:
today Ben Bernanke addressed congress, "I have been replaced by a computer network, and am unfortunatley obsolete. I have no idea how
this happened but I reccommend
the US switch
the Bitcoin standard."
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, what are your
thoughts about protoshares ?
pankkake: well,
the best would be
that I
try
to build something interesting around bitcoin instead of lamenting :)
pankkake: I have no doubts
that fiat is dead/dying. just doubts about bitcoin surviving it
pankkake: but everything
that was almost-working is failing
pankkake: I'm not
that convinced Bitcoin Is
The Future. actually,
the feeling
that is was dominated by 15-year-old gamers with GPUs made me stay away for long (well, I'd be rich if I didn't)
mircea_popescu: well fucking duh with pink fringe and a lemon slice on
top
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the bs is funny. "none of
the obsolete people have any idea of why exactly it is
they're obsolete"
mircea_popescu: and
there are
traces. for instance
the aggrivied merchants petitioned
the court
to rule on whether people who bought on promise are liable for
the value promised or for
the value actual
pankkake: it's
the same everywhere. it's
the planet
thestringpuller: I write better
than
this for papers due in school and still get points marked off, yet
this gets
through
the editors?
ozbot: How much of
the legend of
the 17th-Century
tulipmania is
true?
pankkake: there's only one source ever, no
trace of actual losses
pankkake: also,
that "tulip mania"
thing is probably a myth
pankkake: the source package maybe? and
then
they sign
the binary?
this is just guesses, I never did it
pankkake: ubuntu PPA look like
they're built
the right way, user uploads source, but
trusted
third party builds
pankkake: build instructions in documentation, or in scripts? I'm sure most people don't check
the build scripts, even from untrusted sources
mircea_popescu: has anyone so far
tried
to sneak malware in
through ascii build ionstructions ?
pankkake: it's a good idea,
though
the quality isn't always
there ;)
pankkake: but for obvious security reasons
they aren't allowed
to distribute
the binaries, only
the build instructions
pankkake: there is
the AUR, which is basically user-contributed builds
thestringpuller: i
thought pacman just brought in newest packages, and
those were compiled remote
Apocalyptic: thestringpuller, you do compile from source on arch
too
pankkake: well it doesn't have many packages and enabled features
thankfully :)
thestringpuller: Gentoo
takes
too long
to install shit on slow computers due
to compile source at installation
time
Apocalyptic: doesn't come with all
the useless shit you'll never use anyway like in debian
nubbins`: "all your cards. one coin. unless you live outside of
the usa, in which case none of your cards."
mircea_popescu: at least some idiots got
the "coin" name,
that's a relief.
nubbins`: "features don't impress you? how about
the new york
times logo?"
nubbins`: also gotta say i fucking hate
this new "endless scroll"
type of website
nubbins`: interesting idea, no chip+PIN support and
therefore useless
mircea_popescu: and
the same princuople goes
to
the "devteam" retards implememnting pki
☟︎ nubbins`: even if
they have
two-inch margins on all sides?
mircea_popescu: so please, for
the love of your own future and for
the love of
the future of your kids and
the young women you fuck and will probably survive you :
mircea_popescu: this is a huge fish
to skin, in
that it costs nothing
to establish correct precedent, and it'll be perfectly imossible
to fix once a microsoft exists
mircea_popescu: pankkake it's a good idea
to get people used
to doing
the right
thing early.
pankkake: the French say "there are other cats
to flog", much better
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, what's so wrong with pdfs ? except
the obvious potential security issues
mircea_popescu: if you're publishing pdf reportsa
that means
that 1. you're not part of bitcoin finance and 2.
the most you will get is ridicule.
mircea_popescu: to state it for
the record : i will never read a pdf "financial report" of something
trying
to call itself a bitcoin public company.
mpexbot: jurov: An error has occurred and has been logged. Please contact
this bot's administrator for more information.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many people realise
that is actually MORE
than what
the average senior editor of fortune.com is paid on a per-article basis.

pankkake: The United States dollar, a real-life currency created by a group of revolutionaries after overthrowing
the local authorities in North America, has almost doubled in value over
the last 24 hours.
mircea_popescu: to quote my good friend pankkake, he said : "the only way people learn
to backup is by painful experience"
pankkake: hehe "unfortunately
the activity in
the Securities section lately seems
to be dominated primarily by one of
two
things: 1) people
trying
to recover funds from an old "investment"
that was poorly managed or an outright scam, or 2) people
trying
to attract funds for a new "investment"
that is poorly managed or an outright scam"
pankkake: bitcoin is going
to make it even more painful
pankkake: I usually say
that
the only way people learn
to backup is by painful experience (like I did :|)
mircea_popescu: easiest
test in
the book. you're not in
the wot, you're not
to be
taken seriously. 5000 reddit votes notwithstanding.
