nubbins`: anyway,
this isn't
the usa where every neighbourhood has a swat
team
nubbins`: deadweasel: i'm hoping
the local cops won't know about log.bitcoin-assets.com
deadweasel: why would you enter it into
the public record?
deadweasel: nubbins, what happens if
the police decide
they want your stockpiles?
nubbins`: tat, suppose something happens
to my wife?
nubbins`: suppose
the faucet starts spitting brown water. having a big pile of jugged water is a big help
nubbins`: suppose
the power goes for
the better part of a week in
the dead of winter. having a big pile of kerosene is a big help
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i can't remember a
time when my largest expense was food.
mircea_popescu: i guess you could always
threaten
to post on bitcointalk if
they scam you of your ham...
pankkake: that's why you should actually stockpile
tanks
nubbins`: well,
the police only know i have stockpiles of food because i've entered it into
the public record.
mircea_popescu: and you'kll somehow keep a horde at bay.
through what means.
mircea_popescu: because
they can't force
their way in. you can't currently keep
the police at bay from your basement
nubbins`: so you get
to stay in said basement and never come out for fear of being ripped
to pieces by hungry neighbours
mircea_popescu: suppose you were
the one guy in leningrad with a basement full of ham.
mircea_popescu: and
that's well... harder
to pretend "we're progressing" and
that dietary restrictions are "for your own health"
mircea_popescu: gives
the voters
the opportunity
to learbn slowly, move
their diets
towards govt cheese over a few years
mircea_popescu: basically
the continued qe makes repatriation of all assets from
the us a slow process
mike_c: what's
the big deal? what's a $4
trillion balance sheet among friends?
thestringpuller: lol reading
this article is like reading
the beginning of
the monetary apocalypse in
the US
mike_c: ah. i gotta go
to
the grocery store. brb.
mike_c: i don't follow
that. seems not
tapering -> hyperinflation -> food shortages.
phungus: they can't
taper without
throwing markets in
to
turmoil
phungus: QE
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!
nubbins`: oh hey, $850 on virtex,
that's an ATH
pankkake: donating in fiat should get you
tax breaks
though
thestringpuller: USD interests rates are about
to skyrocket so I wouldn't hold yuan for
too long
ThickAsThieves: wikipedia wants me
to donate with a pop-up, but no bitcoin option
mike_c: i
think
this means
that usd is a scarier bet
than
the yuan right now.
mike_c: somebody needs
to wake up
the chinese
nubbins`: anyway, we have i
think 4 or 5 copies of
the first edition left if you're looking for xmas gifts for
the weirdos in your family
nubbins`: you know,
they're not joking when
they say not
to
take LSD and watch
that movie
nubbins`: altho she said
the ending was disappointing
nubbins`: yeah, heavy burroughs/bukowski influences
there
mircea_popescu: meh. read burroughs be done with
the sort of crap. at least
that's my experience.
nubbins`: ^
that's right in
the
thick of it
there
nubbins`: flies spit antipsychotic froth on
their
tongues & wheel about cheap paint walls. all hospitals are life now
nubbins`: John
the Baptist runs soap suds over
the brainstem, each bubble is Electroconvulsive
therapy raining from
the fingertips of classical musicians. we sit upon psychedelic mushrooms like sleeping
toads.
these
toads are pharmacists...pharmacobotanists.
nubbins`: floor. vast communities of bulky orderlies. rowhouses of nurses. all rooms are hospitals now.
the firmament, a massive inferno of blue-black gods. judges pouring
time as
the piss of Dionysus. insects dripping honey and pulling wax upon my ears. says, 'All
the angels can dance on
the
tip of a pin. all
thoughts can jig upon
the point of a pen'
☟︎ nubbins`: but it was
too late for all
that,
the buggers held full control, so all rooms are now hospital.
the candy cart of medication wheels behind me, manacled by psychotic chains. lines of division have been dissolved.
this letter is also spoken live in
the minds of all others. medication is food. Rx is smoked. food is smoked. all useless as light dripped from bulbs into splashing puddles of light upon
th
nubbins`: actually a good read, but he said he mostly wants
to get it out of his head rather
than make a fortune off it
nubbins`: we've published a bunch of stuff from
this guy who spent a few years in
the bughouse
mike_c: nubs, are you
typesetting?
nubbins`: well ya know. a lot of
the stuff we publish is more for a release on
the part of
the author
than for anything else
nubbins`: i gotta print book covers
today, some girl is getting us
to publish an excerpt from one of her diaries
nubbins`: there's middle ground in
there
ThickAsThieves: it bothers me more
that he is making money,
than
that
they are losing money
nubbins`: can't get any luckier
than
that, so i stopped
nubbins`: i raked it in on jd and
then cashed out
pankkake: yeah
they should, cause I'm still down on jd :(
pankkake: "If he had any decency he would offer a buy back at 0.2, save some of his name, show
that he has belief in
the site... and he would still be 5 millions good."
nubbins`: you'd
think
they'd just make
the one call, since all
three packages are from
the same sender
nubbins`: i received
three calls from UPS
today,
two robots and a person
thestringpuller: ah so it reconciles itself!
the message in
the inbox ==
the invoice
thestringpuller: reconciling
the order from his inbox
to
the address is still a manual process
ozbot: Second major Bitcoin heist
this month allegedly
takes over $1 million |

mircea_popescu: turbo_ac100_ better
to explain what doesn't need
to be explained
mircea_popescu: so once he sees a new payment, he searches his inbox, finds
the relvant receiver and goes mail
turbo_ac100_: mircea_popescu, Haha "How
to process Bitcoin payments" actually sounds like you were writing for people you don't despise although you suggest
they don't know what a salt is.
mircea_popescu: he can't automate it, he will have
to mail it. himself.
thestringpuller: yes, but your article implies
this is manually done and not automated
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller my method is for people
trying
to sell online. like say nubbins.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: so your method is for people with
treasurers?
jurov`: yes .
then he notices
the last digits and <troll>reverses
the hash
to obtain
the email. easy </troll>
jurov`: and he should be able
to keep
track of stuff so
that he doesn't credit account
twice or such
jurov`: yes. i guess his email needs
to be in Cc or Bcc
mircea_popescu: at
that level it's supposed
to be done by hand by
the one guy who's
the business.
jurov`: still,
the actual processing part is completely missing
