mircea_popescu: "and
then i detached
this stone which had been wedged in
the sole of my shoe for who knows how long
jurov`: and from
there
to else
jurov`: it kinda spilled over from btc
to ltc
mircea_popescu: we will have
the best couch cushion stories in
the history of huimanity
mircea_popescu: i
think i had bought 10 k or w/e back in 2011 when it was nothing

mircea_popescu: fun fact : bitcoin gdp for 2013 so far is higher
than iceland's
deadweasel: fire in
the sky! nope,
that's just nubbins' beard
nubbins`: it didn't get much longer
than
that
nubbins`: heh, came across
this one again
mircea_popescu: another day, another
two-three billion added
to bitcoin mkt cap
Diablo-D3: firstblockchain: nope, and I'd advise you
to stay away from
them
firstblockchain: One quick question for a "frame of reference" as I start looking at
the virtual companies here and how
they work - are any of
them based on real-world / physical product "businesses" people are running?
nubbins`: TBF i shaved
the beard and
the allergies remain D:
ozbot: THE BEARDS - If Your Dad Doesn't Have a Beard, You've Got
Two Mums (Official Film Clip) - YouTube
deadweasel: firstblockchain: excellent. glad
to hear it.
firstblockchain: I've already received
two links here
that will keep my mind busy wrapping around what's going on here
nubbins`: havoc on my allergies
tho, all
the chaff floating everywhere
nubbins`: there's
this one point where almost all
the moisture is drawn out
mircea_popescu: the pic is coffee being roasted in
the shop downtown san jose
ozbot: Chestii pe care mi le doresc dar nu le voi putea gasi niciodata pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popes
KRS1: must be
the latitude
nubbins`: my favourite origin is still ethiopia
tho, sorry :)
nubbins`: peaberries make nice coffee, but you generally only see
tanzanian peaberry for some odd reason
mircea_popescu: i recall
there were about 3... maybe 4 coffee sellers for btc over
the years
nubbins`: i recall having an excellent Sumatran peaberry, one of
the best i've
tasted
firstblockchain: I put
them up for sale for bitcoin
to show it could help create a better direct line between source and consumer. I was very happy with
the result.
mircea_popescu: if you actually learn from
the reactions no. if you keep right on like a webrat
then yes.
firstblockchain: Is it a faux-pas if I'm
the
type of person who doesn't lurk, but just jumps in and
tries shit
to learn from
the results / reactions?
mircea_popescu: yes,
the idea is it
takes six months
to a year of lurking
to catch up
to speed.
firstblockchain: I can see I'm going
to have
to dig in a bit and wrap my head around it. I live in Indonesia, and
the first
thing I
thought of when I began exploring BTC was how powerful it would be
to connect producers with consumers much more easily, by skipping all
the middlemen, paperwork and fees involved in
transactions. My main focus was how
this works with
the coffee industry.
mircea_popescu: the guys at
the bitcoin foundation are basically one scammer and some dorks.
firstblockchain: when I (recently) discovered some of
the other functions
that can be accomplished with
the blockchain - my mind was blown - and now I discover folks have already been doing it. You know,
the guys at
the bitcoin foundation don't mention
this place when
they give conferences....
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is
the deeply hidden nugat of breathtaking complexity wrapped in a lot of superficial buzz.
firstblockchain: Raised hell when I posted what I did and a link
to my website on Reddit - but got a lot of useful feedback
too - like discovering a working version of it here LOL
firstblockchain: Reading it now .
Thanks - I wish I'd known about
this before.
firstblockchain: Deadweasel was kind enough
to inform me such concepts have been developed and working by some of
the folks here.
firstblockchain: I'm
the guy who made an ass of himself yesterday by embedding proof of articles of incorporation into
the blockchain using Manuel Araoz's proofofexistence - and
then claiming I'd incorporate
the first "blockchain" company.
mircea_popescu: "Once
the restrictions enforced upon us have been lifted, our plans will become extremely clear. Please note
that any speculation with regards
to our involvement is in fact nothing more
than pure speculation. People who are invested, are more
than aware
that we are open, honest and will move
the business forward at every given opportunity."
mircea_popescu: that's perhaps
the worst piece of corp literature i've ever seen, ftr.
mircea_popescu: any way i
turn it all i can see here is "neobee assumes as little as it can possibly get away with of bf/weex liabuilities in exchange of all assets"
pankkake: twice as many bugs for
the price of one
nubbins`: weex: because you want
to sign up for
two
things
today, not one
ThickAsThieves: [10:04] <mircea_popescu> so basically bitfunder is sold for 1 btc ? <<< He makes no mention of Bitfunder actually,
title is Weex

nubbins`: so casascius says it's fincen
that caused him
to halt orders, hey?
Jere_Jones: Was easyco.in already down or did sending out
that neobee update effectively ddos it?
pankkake: This is coming at minimal cost
to Neo & Bee (man hours)" if
true, I'm not
that mad anymore :p
pankkake: it's not like
there are even contracts
pankkake: want
to do a "an havelock listing will be a scam"
too but again, how do I define
that…
mircea_popescu: yeah. doing god's own work here,
these are q's
that should be pondered.
pankkake: well, I'll
try
to find another creative way
to define
trusted and scammer :p
mircea_popescu: there's an economic incentive
to
the forum default
trust
tree ?
pankkake: I was
thinking
the economic incentive would always be greater
than
the bet itself
pankkake: there's not much at stake for
that
though
mircea_popescu: bets should be something more substantive
than "mp will post a
threesome on irc"
pankkake: but how do you define scammer and
trusted
pankkake: my general idea was
that someone "trusted" would become a scammer yet again
pankkake: yes, but he would have probably more
to lose by removing
that someone
mircea_popescu: but also because even if
the person doesn't bet it will still be accused of having bet and ensured his own winning.
mircea_popescu: not only because
the person could just bet and ensure his own winning,
mircea_popescu: bets
tghat are within one person's arbitrarity are badbets by
that fact.
pankkake: yes… but
that aren't
things changed lightly
mircea_popescu: "I feel as if I have been scammed..
Transferred from my BitBook
to Just-Dice address
they gave him and it's been 20-30 minutes, no BTC's and
the address changed now "
mircea_popescu: davout a little recycling of stale shit. great for
the environment, ok for
the consumer.
ozbot: BitBet - Mt. Gox Fails
to List Litecoin
davout: either way
this smells like a glorified google authenticator
pankkake: dexX7: probably was registered by many of
those domain squatters. I wonder for how much it sold for
pankkake: oh and you can't use a regular yubi with
them?
davout: pankkake:
they flash
their YKs so you can't use
them anywhere else
davout: i don't really get
that, is
there any point
to it besides marketing?
pankkake: so… more expensive
than a yubikey but only works with mtgox
davout: oh wait no,
the url says 20131120 and
the date on
the PR says 27 nov lol
davout: (aw shit
the PR about
their otp card is actually a week old, shame on me)
