pankkake: "In some species of birds, males pair up in
twos when courting,
the beta male aiding
the alpha male."
pankkake: "I
think I'm a penguin, so I am a penguin", basically
mircea_popescu: people with subclinical mental issues
trying
to make
their insanity socially acceptable ?
pankkake: well, do you know about
the "otherkin" stuff?
mircea_popescu: "First
things first, I am a Genderfluid, meaning I consider myself both male and female, but I am a biological woman. I am in
tune with myself and I am a Black Beta Wolf."
ThickAsThieves: "Mastercoin crossed $1,000,000 USD worth of MSC in
trading volume in a 24 hours period" (citing /u/DJohnston)
mircea_popescu: o oops sorry my bad,
the HOLE i meant.
the ozone layer is fine. it was saved.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves because if a bunch of redditards didn't do a lot of worrying,
the ozone layer would still be
there
mod6: they give phd's
to anyone
these days.
ThickAsThieves: yeah but he's worried you'll lose all your money and
then some
mircea_popescu: forum muppets never heard of
this mystical concept of, you know... like having money ?
mircea_popescu: aka, "how does one not steal clothes while also not returning
them"
ThickAsThieves: tested
to convert audio as well as some very expensive stuff from
today
ThickAsThieves: its
the same card from my previous sys, a MOTU 828mkii
nubbins`: you can get some nice multitrack boards
these days for not
too much $$
nubbins`: lots of people just get a USB interface with a bunch of audio ports
too
nubbins`: harder and harder
to find
these days
pankkake: also
there's
this
thing with Chrome, a bundled Flash, not using
the NPAPI
pankkake: doesn't really mean
the end of flash… just
that
they won't port newer versions
pankkake: wasn't
that known already,
the flash
thing?
mod6: Thx for
the update on ipmi.
mircea_popescu: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be
the last version
to
target Linux as a supported platform
pankkake: and
then
there's
the default passwords
pankkake: usually.
there's been examples in
the wild of
the contrary
mircea_popescu: at least
the router you can configure
to only be accessible from
the in side.
pankkake: but hardware with
those fancy web interfaces is such a bad idea
pankkake: I've seen
that, scary… pretty sure my server in a datacenter has ipmi, I don't know how filtered it is
mircea_popescu: if your ipmi interface is exposed ot
the public internet you're at risk
mircea_popescu: everyone :
there's a new ipmi exploit, it's perfectly capable
to root your box.
pankkake: "user currencies" is actually a good idea, but it's decentralized (except its
trading between users); you'd have an issuer
mircea_popescu: yeah. i agree pankkake, i can't discern any point where
this diverges from bitcoin differently
than simple ignorance.
pankkake: however perhaps a web of
trust on
the blockchain could be useful
pankkake: for OTC
trading I've even made *throwable* contracts; when it's done no need
to keep it
pankkake: besides
the misspelling "contacts", I'm not sure what's
the point of a blockchain
pankkake: mastercoin: "Peer
to Peer Exchange, User Currencies, Savings Wallets, Smart Property, and Future Event Contacts"
bloctoc: I don't want
to load
this channel up with alt coin discussions, but
there are other functionalities
that need
to go p2p
to
take care of
things like profitable mining companies
that lose
their centralized exchange.
mircea_popescu: now,
that i do it with a 200kgf vice and an acetylene blowtorch... well.. just a matter of style.
mircea_popescu: i'm not dogmatic either, contrary
to what you may have heard :)
bloctoc: if colored coins is better for
that,
then I'm all ears. I'm not dogmatic.
bloctoc: I
traded bitcoin for mastercoin because I want
to
try out a p2p passthrough for mpex.co
mircea_popescu: but i fail
to see
the logic, if you don't like
the bitcoin in bitcoin why not just sell
them for fiat or rubber
tyres or w./e
that better suits your needs.
bloctoc: …and I can't seem
to build
trust
to
trade in bitcoin-otc I'm hoping
that reversible
transactions helps
there
too.
bloctoc: I have enough bitcoins sitting on my laptop
that I fear
theft.
bloctoc: bitcoin community. I don't know what
the alternatives are with colored coins, but I really like
the idea of reversible
transactions using mastercoin.
bloctoc: KRS1 - I suppose I fit
the definition of one of
the shills who was pumping Ripple last year and is on
to mastercoin
this year. I moved all my ripples
to mastercoin last night. Why? I'm convinced
that Enron got gutted instead of highly leveraged company x because
they pretty much gave
the finger
to
the rest of
the
trading community at every opportunity. I see Ripple (commercial version) guys having done
the same
thing
to
the
mircea_popescu: literally all
the articles
that come up for
that query discuss
the bitcoin
tardteam.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller
that's what everyone says, "holy shit, i had no idea it is
this bad"
thestringpuller: dude why are
there so many magic numbers in
the bitcoin source code
mircea_popescu: which is how
this
thing is supposed
to work, bid for
tx space.
dexX7: this wouldn't have an impact on
tslb i
think
dexX7: looks like
the size of
the recent blocks reached
the soft? limit again
dexX7: are bitcoin
tx slow at
the moment?
thestringpuller: "What's
the difference between a
topless girl and a computer?"

mircea_popescu: too early
to say
that it's stupid, if it actually is. so far, we just don't know why anyone should care.
mircea_popescu: basically as best anyone can determine
the body of shills
that were
trying
to push ripple half a year back and got
trampled underfoot have mooved on
to
this
thing.
mircea_popescu: KRS1 iirc it's some attempt
to do something very similar
to colored coins while claiming a different name for
the
thing, and some snappy website.
ozbot: Revisiting
the
topic of “economic injustice”, with examples pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popes
nubbins`: the spread of language is a fascinating
topic

to eighteen Indian languages."
ozbot: Bharat Operating System Solutions - Wikipedia,

nubbins`: maybe i'm just jealous
tho, because nobody would buy nubcoins
nubbins`: "Everybody out
there should suck my dick"
KRS1: He must have a staff of people scraping
the internet daily
to see what people are saying about him.
KRS1: What a fool..obviously
thinks
too highly of himself.
KRS1: Max Keiser@maxkeiser 28 Nov Somebody out
there should start a 'keisercoin' I'm pretty sure it would go from $0
to $100 mn. pretty quickly
nubbins`: i
tried on like fifteen different ones before i found one
that (a) i liked and (b) fit well
nubbins`: not sure about ordering a ring online,
too :P
pankkake: when I chose mine
the other options were not very good looking either
pankkake: the guy likes bitcoin
though. perhaps we'll see more stuff from him in
the future
nubbins`: but still!
these are really cool.
nubbins`: not a fan of
the woven carbon look
pankkake: the stealth bomber looks better
than
the classic… but I don't even have a use for
the first one :p
