mike_c: "The Quantified Self movement helps people self-measure and opt out of
the health care system"
pankkake: I'd be surprised if
those hipsters ever seceeded
though
skinnkavaj: Is pircea_momescu some
troll hired by mircea_popescu?
mike_c: asciilifeform you just made me dumber.
thanks.
kakobrekla: skinnkavaj: lurk moar. < listen
to
this
skinnkavaj: pankkake: What a waste of
time. You only have
to spend 30 minutes of reading
to understand
that it is both centralised and premined. And if you still
think it's good, I will not even bother
to argue with you.
Then I really have
to declare you retarded.
pankkake: most people defending ripple don't understand it and just want
to sell
their overpriced XRP
pankkake: skinnkavaj: lurk moar. I've spent plenty of
time on ripple
threads
skinnkavaj: I am not even suprised people like pankkake
think ripple is good
pankkake: but
the real question, is litecoin a scam
KRS1: premined
to all hell as i have read it
kakobrekla: seriously nothing better
to do with your
time?
pankkake: kakobrekla: I wrote a script
to farm a giveaway
pankkake: not really, I use it
to get free bitcoins
pankkake: I would have exchanged
to btc but
the order book was almost empty
kakobrekla: the
thing is, exchangeing from one cc
to another cc is way easier
than for merchant or service provider
to accept all 463 of
them
pankkake: I
think i'll donate in fiat anyway, because it can get me a
tax break
skinnkavaj: Piratebay and Wikipedia accept LTC and LTC is going
to die out soon!? LOL
dexX7: oh sorry, you're right. i read value = volume in
the first sentence
dexX7: betting on btc volume is stupid when
there are more
than one chinese btc exchange with zero fees atm
kakobrekla: just
trying
to understand at which point your logic fails
pankkake: a good
thing
to do is
to
try
to understand why are
things
that way
skinnkavaj: Someone got in
to bed with
the wrong person about security
KRS1: who cares about niceties it works really well and
thats all
that matters
skinnkavaj: Listen
to mircea_popescu he has
the ugliest interface joke security exchange
that recently got hacked even
though "Failing last since 2011"
KRS1: but i was referring
to all virt currency
mircea_popescu: KRS1 ltc around 1 usd ain't hurting anything. on
the contrary, puts
the greenback in its proper perspective.
skinnkavaj: Guess you are
too afraid
to put up
that bet.
KRS1: everyone has an opinion..mine is
that
the hype will die off and it will slowly die
to under a buck and stay
there for years
mircea_popescu: skinnkavaj dude stop drowning yourself in words. if you
think ltc will go up as high as 0.04 btc, you can
take
the 10:1 odds against on
that bet and make out like a pirate.
skinnkavaj: pankkake: Yes, but as stated. I want
the bet
to be in USD value.
skinnkavaj: mircea_popescu: No, if LTC go up 10x in value
today it will be 0.1 LTC/BTC, not 0.25 LTC/BTC.
mircea_popescu: i dunno anyone cares enough
to bet on
that one. seems like random noise.
skinnkavaj: What is going
to go up 10x in value first, bitcoin or litecoin?
pankkake: it moved a few
times between .008 BTC and 0.012 BTC if I'm not mistaken
mircea_popescu: so
then
there you have it.
that bet only asks for ltc
to go up 4x raher
than 5x
pankkake: well it did see wild swings
these last few days
skinnkavaj: pankkake:
That's not
the bet I am after
ozbot: BitBet - Litecoin
to rise above .04 BTC before 2014
skinnkavaj: pankkake: Lol, yeah go ahead
try
to start pump LTC on btc-e
pankkake: I guess you could use btc-e as a source, it has both exchangeable
to fiat
pankkake: another issue is
that you don't need a lot of volume
to make
those
things move (perhaps restrict
to a minimum volume)
skinnkavaj: What will go in
ten
times in fiat value from
today, bitcoin or litecoin?
skinnkavaj: pankkake: Put a bet up, first
to go up 5x in value from
today. Bitcoin or Litecoin?

Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
nubbins`: (eplained using only
the
ten hundred words people use
the most often)
nubbins`: yeah,
there's a wikipedia written in simple english
nubbins`: now
there's an idea for a poster
mircea_popescu: you don't see any of
the ~20k english words outside of
the "retard 200" used often in covernsation.
nubbins`: you don't see
the word "niggardly" used often in conversation
mircea_popescu: i blame
the usg and fdr for
this particularly niggardly redefinition of community.
mircea_popescu: by now "the community" =
the group of people who;'d want freebies at other's expense.
mircea_popescu: "I hope
that
the person who won
the auction make available for
the community part of
the chips from reel at a reasonable price.
KRS1: OK
thats what I
thought. Ali G is awesome
KRS1: I kinda
thought borat = ali g.
mircea_popescu: it would be cool if borat and ali g each started
their own asic miner company
mircea_popescu: at least have
the decency
to ennumerate quality first if
that's your "unequivocal comittment"
mircea_popescu: what
the ever loving fuck. how long ago did
they stop
teaching logic ?
mircea_popescu: "We focus on
this each and everyday [...] by finding a balance between expediency and quality."
mircea_popescu: "Since
the start, HashFast has been unequivocally committed
to
the idea
that we will produce
the highest quality product."
pankkake: I
tried a model m but I kept feeling like it would make up my neighbors
pankkake: well,
they're often named "battlestations"
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> if you're in
the cockpit 12-14 hr/day << jesus we're basically space piliots here
