skinnkavaj: But tbh sounds stupid to buy into LTC when it's already high pankkake, that sounds like a really stupid plan.
pankkake: I am not arguing for it, I am not weathly enough to make it worthwile anyway
kakobrekla: pankkake hes just a trolliar
pankkake: why watch the price all the time?
pankkake: I thought you were not daytrading
pankkake: there was a lot of hype about solidcoin IIRC. actually, it put me off bitcoin at that time. where is it now?
skinnkavaj: When is this minibubble crashing
kakobrekla: you know what, i think you should talk to ozbot some more.
skinnkavaj: pankkake: There was like 5-6 altcoins launched before LTC, but none of them were really good. One was premined, one was scrypt but not premined, LTC was the one that won. Now I am only waiting for the third coin, but that will take a lot of time to be decided.
pankkake: is there an altcoin list by date of introduction?
pankkake: pools can lose their miners
kakobrekla: just the pool ops really
pankkake: changes have to be approved by the majority of the p2p network and even harder, the network
benkay: but pankkake that doesn't prevent to corrupt innovate
pankkake: but bitcoin is even harder to corrupt
pankkake: open source is already a protection against developers being corrupt. you don't have to have a fork of every open source software to keep the developers in check. that would be insane
skinnkavaj: OH yes I do, but I still see it's possible to infiltrate and try to destroy innovation even when it's open sourced.
pankkake: or open source for the matter
pankkake: I hope your ltc "investment" decision has better foundations than that "everyone know"
skinnkavaj: It's important for the development to not become to corrupt, to have two strong open source currencies.
skinnkavaj: pankkake: LTC is the first good copy cat of BTC. And like everyone know the first copycat always succeeds, while the others fail. Look at feathercoin, I don't see any future there.
pankkake: and feelings shouldn't have anything to do with that
pankkake: but perhaps you should look at the history of altcoins
benkay: and 1 year an arbitrary timeframe
pankkake: it's bitcoin for people who want to be early adopter or want to use their gaming pcs, which is bad enough. but even ignoring that, I don't see anything compelling
skinnkavaj: pankkake: If you think LTC will be dead in one year you must be blind. I feel sorry for you.
benkay: haven't you heard, it has mining for the undercapitalized
pankkake: this always fail on the "why"
pankkake: come on, stop with the empty "here to say" and "not going away", this means nothing
skinnkavaj: It's not like LTC is going away anytime soon. LTC is here to stay as long as BTC is here to stay. Then we might have another competing coin that take over in the future, but that will take a lot of time even if its better than BTC/LTC.
skinnkavaj: Looking forward to that
skinnkavaj: pankkake: Armory and Trezor is coming with LTC support
benkay: from the ceaseless litecoin hype frothing from your face?
skinnkavaj: The secret is not that I am launching a litecoin service
pankkake: me too
pankkake: I mean it looks like there isn't even a web wallet
skinnkavaj: He replied he will think about it
skinnkavaj: Sent a mail to bitcoinity.org
skinnkavaj: pankkake: Trust me you are gonna buy in when it's too high already
pankkake: I have plenty of time to buy back if there ever is a reason. and here you're just bragging about daily little changes
pankkake: and now you're all day wishful thinking
pankkake: who cares. it was still better to sell earlier, which you should have done instead of getting all butthurt
benkay: skinnkavaj: what do these percents imply?
skinnkavaj: So LTC up 10% only today.
jurov: mhm, satoshidice has hefty Terms&Conditions nao. Of course:" Persons located in or residents of the United States and the United States Territories (the “Prohibited Jurisdictions”) are not permitted make use of the Service."
benkay: oh that thing
kakobrekla: this thing benkay http://bash.bitcoin-assets.com/
benkay: -ass has a points/karma thing now?
kakobrekla: maybe, if teh attacks dont stop
kakobrekla: thats a thought mp.
benkay: what ams these point?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla make it so you can only vote through assbot,
kakobrekla: so feel free to recast your points ktnxbai
kakobrekla: bash just been flushed, i nuked the current points stats cause some idiot decided to write a bot to fuck with that, so i changed the system a bit and well, truncated teh table.
KRS1: what did you program nubbins? IT can be hard to get back into if you are out for a while ☟︎
KRS1: but thats my opinion =D
_mjoiii: Later man, some trippy shit
nubbins`: anyway! party time. seeya.
nubbins`: you kinda have to commit if you want to make something
nubbins`: of course, that probably took decades of hard work, self doubt, and eating from food banks
nubbins`: but to be fair that jonathan meese guy is also world famous
nubbins`: and i haven't even had to skip a meal yet
nubbins`: i walked away from a stable, high-paying programmer/analyst job this past february to print full-time
nubbins`: you'd be surprised how little money you can get by on if you try
_mjoiii: So it made me wonder how he can afford to just buzz like that every day.
nubbins`: no need to be jealous, it's 100% within your grasp
_mjoiii: That dude makes me so jealous. To just trip out all day... But the toilet thing..
nubbins`: although you'd be surprised to know how much $$ people spend on stacked test prints
nubbins`: there are no mistakes, watch the first video i posted ;p
_mjoiii: They sell prints of their mistakes?
_mjoiii: 65 euro? What's that in real money? How much in bitcoin?
nubbins`: they're in the museum of modern art
nubbins`: at one point marlboro asked them to design cigarette packs
nubbins`: _mjoiii: those two are world famous
_mjoiii: Do people like this support themselves???
nubbins`: they're called Re:Surgo! these days
nubbins`: amazing art, very inspiring to me
_mjoiii: Pretty sure I just had a flashback with that second one.
nubbins`: this "art talks" series is great
_mjoiii: And if you read the subs he admits it
nubbins`: go watch that video
KRS1: can someone answer this question- why is the FTC and BTC pair on BTC-E so heavily traded? Big volume has been exchanging there for quite some time.
nubbins`: ^ this guy is almost completely, perfectly fucked in the head, but i had a moment of epiphany while watching this interview
benkay: put a big enough engine on a brick and *presto* i guess you have an orbital insertion vehicle too
benkay: (it's an orange juicer, for those not in the know)
benkay: better you than me. i stopped writing about this highly subjective stuff back when i decided to stop convincing people of things.
benkay: is this art or design?
mircea_popescu: benkay okay, but something has to be something or not be something at some point. otherwise we can't have a conversation at all, outside of ∀ = ∀
benkay: some mainstream rap may even be art to some people
benkay: mainstream american rap is product. there are rap artists. there are rap producers. there are humans in between.
deadweasel: vacation pictures are torture.
jurov: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6660162 asciilifeform you may want to promote phuctor (i would, but no account)
deadweasel: they would probably describe themselves as businessmen.
benkay: some may think they are, in the same way that some americans think they're ceo's when funded by idiots
mircea_popescu: so then no rappers are artists.
benkay: my point is that rap isn't art. it's a product manufactured for americans.
mircea_popescu: lol. ok, the point here is that while it'd be hard to argue dali wasn't an artist, it's well established he was a capitalist whore
benkay: you can't expect me to have opinions about real art like dali
benkay: what does that have to do with rap?
mircea_popescu: i thought rapper guys did it for the principle of the thing.
