benkay: lower barriers
to entry mean lower quality of entrants
Duffer1: it's impressive just how bad
they ended as well, virtually worst case scenario for all of
them
dexX7: what i
think is shocking is
that so many
things ended bad.. chinese exchanges, inputs.io, basic-mining, labcoin, picostocks, bitfunder..
mircea_popescu: the
truth of
the matter is, scams are nearly magical, in
that
they manage
to
take in people seemingly irrespective of iq etc.
Duffer1: he's probably got
too much material for blogs posts about
that anyways :(
Duffer1: do you have any articles about noobs
that lose everything?
KRS1: grab a leet feed..any number of
things would work wouldnt it?
KRS1: does it even have
to be php cant it be any content
thats sought after
mircea_popescu: by now it's almost worth it
to pay for php developers simply
to give me
trilema article material which
then gets me
trilema credits which are btc

KRS1: i don't
trust any fucks
KRS1: ok
thanks guys i appreciate it-
benkay: sucks for us broke fuckers with neither
time nor money
benkay: either
time
to meet someone in person, or money
to save
the
time
KRS1: benkay i found
theres a price
to pay one way or
the other
KRS1: thats what im
thinking
benkay: man at a 15% markup for converting your btc
to cash
that's a rawwww deal
Duffer1: go with
the assumption it's a scam
Duffer1: i have lost faith in everything
that isn't bitcoin itself
KRS1: hate
to ask
this here..i value
the opinion of you guys..do you
think
the site litecoinstore.com is legit
benkay: make friends with criminals and broker
their bitcoin purchases,
thereby positioning self well for imminent shitstorm?
benkay: if building reserves just makes one a milky cow, wat
the f do?
benkay: on an old old
topic from
the vaults like
three days ago, how does one hedge against
the local fiat regime's complete failure?
nubbins`: ah, like
the college radio station doesn't sell cds,
they "gift" you a cd if you "donate" $5
saulimus: nubbins`, it's
to disguise investing as "donating" because you're a "fan"
benkay: daaah i fail
to find references because forum spam.
benkay: hey here's a stoopid idea: futures on difficulty rate increase rather
than difficulty itself
mircea_popescu: where parties
to
the controversy also had
to deliberately submit
to judgement and advance bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: this is incidentally not so different from
the core principles of
the rota system,
mircea_popescu: (the constant, leave proof in comments
thing, for instance)
mircea_popescu: i've quite deliberately constructed it so a lot of
triage of facts can be easily done by
the users
mircea_popescu: as
the future eventualyl
turns into past, what bitbet has
to do and what
the courts have
to do are homomorphic : establish what
the words say, what
the facts are and how
the
two relate.
mircea_popescu: a suit steams from a controversy in fact, anchored in
the past.
mircea_popescu: a bet is a controversy in fact, anchored in
the future.
benkay: hey mircea_popescu would you elaborate on how you envision bitbet replacing
the courts system?
mircea_popescu: well
this is yet another point where bitbet design shines. we don't ever have
thios problem
pankkake: actually, I was
thinking of how much services end up as extra btc from people dying etc
mircea_popescu: yeah, i'm
thinking... it's probably
the case
that at least half
trhe addresses are lost etc. why send btc
there ? just stop paying altogether, it's for
the good of Bitcoin! </sarcasm>
pankkake: " LTC/BTC at BTC-e will stay ABOVE 0.03 and BELOW 0.06 " don't see a similar bet, but
the under 0.03 happened already
pankkake: what, you're
trying
to find a new way
to scam users!?
mircea_popescu: i
took it
to be a sly reference at all
the non-statements ppl make on
the forum
benkay: what
things do
they want said?
mircea_popescu: lol
this just in, courtesy of concerned investor "i must say, your statement suffers from a lack of comments about your inability
to say
things and
the desire you feel
to redeem yourself at a future date"
benkay: life on
the hockey stick, i suppose.
mircea_popescu: and atm
there's no options listed because as announced im going
to cut a digit.
mircea_popescu: benkay
that's incidental
tho, it stopped quoting because bitcoincharts went kinda awol.
benkay: you know it's going
to be a rough month for
the bot when it stops quoting
mircea_popescu: whoa look at
that, mpoe profit is branded by
the beast.
Duffer1: how
to get 10 off i
think he's asking :P
dexX7: much more
than
the last months?
Duffer1: 17.6 people? i
thought new account were 30 each?

benkay: He even described a
telephone call in which a salesperson
tried
to sell him a 284 bit encrypted program. When Vasovski asked him what he
thought of Julian Assange, he replied
that he didn’t know who
that was. “At
that point I said, ‘you’re
trying
to sell me a computer security program and you don’t know who Julian Assange is?’”
Duffer1: doctors will be forced
to comply with secret legislation or
their info will be outright stolen by govt backdoors
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the future of medicine is having doctors sign contracts where if your information leaks
they're held in strict liability.
Duffer1: "..give me your
tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning

ThickAsThieves: can
the statue be riding a unicycle whilst making
the claim?
mircea_popescu: the Anon Derp will go "hey guyse here's
this new original wheel I invented all by myself in my garret!"
mircea_popescu: when we
take over
there's going
to be a grand bronze statue of
The Anonymous Derp in Bitcoin Plaza
mircea_popescu: There are
two main difficulties: first, how can a pair of anonymous participants
trade shares without a
trusted party
to facilitate
the
transaction?
mircea_popescu: "We showed
that
this is not
the case,
that
there are infinitely many outcomes
that are stable yet differ from
the written rules of Bitcoin."
mircea_popescu: lol
the guy "build an understanding of
the political economy" w/o ever showing up on bitcoin-assets ?
