t do these things
danielpbarron: it should be anyone's take who has a brain and doesn'

danielpbarron: if you can'
t do these basic things then why are you in Bitcoin?
danielpbarron: apparently gribble doesn'
t use the keyserver he links to

t think this cut works for underwear
punkman: is that oriya? irc client don'
t have enough font for it
mircea_popescu: (don'
t mind me, it's like a point i've been doing a lot of thinking on so i guess oversensitized)
pankkake: he wrote some articles in English, I don'
t think they had much following. I suppose it's because of the existing (significant) readership
pankkake: some of my pet peeves, that the issue with security and encryption won'
t be solved by magical dumbed down GUIs
Vexual: that wouldn'
t have scared you into behaving in court
pankkake: can'
t the guy send you a letter instead of showing up unnatended?
pankkake: supposed slashdot competitor, comments aren'
t very good either
Flerb: mircea_popescu: walking on streets isn'
t a scam per se

t a scam per se
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes VAN doesn'
t recognize that keyid. Please try again with the shortform of your GPG/PGP keyid. << now wouldn'

Flerb: mircea_popescu: isn'
t that, maybe slightly illegal?
BingoBoingo: Flerb: But isn'
t it fun turning minor typing errors into games?
BingoBoingo: Eh, before doctors prescribed it because it was an opiate that wasn'
t a controlled substance
mircea_popescu: don'
t tell me there's going to be a peak tramadol event
mircea_popescu: ::rate nubbins -48 delivered some paper which looked kinda ok but i didn'
t love it as promised, i loved amy instead.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck not ? you can'
t have crypt w/o decrypt...
nubbins`: IF THEY DON'
T, WHAT WILL I HAVE BECOME?
mircea_popescu: "hello is this xerox support center ? yes how do i set my printer so it prints the image of the onlooker's girlfriend ? what do you mean i have to take her picture first bullshit. what if it changes ??? i can'
t be running after all these people taking their picture incessantly. hello ? HELLO ??? "
nubbins`: kakobrekla, i promised they'd love it, can'
t send blank ;(
mircea_popescu: but it doesn'
t suck nearly as much as this phase 2 lymphomyeloma you've got"
BingoBoingo: I don'
t think I'll escape by air, I dun want to get MH-17'd like all of those doctors fighting CIA-AIDs did
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Maybe they hadn'
t connect my slave name to my real name yet and read the blog where such connections would not make sense.
BingoBoingo isn'
t quite ready for long walk to Mexico, but now see reasons to... get ready
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wasn'
t aware they actually do the whole nkvd thing. afaik it was just personal cognizance stuff.
mircea_popescu: And then there's the story that's fraught with disaster -- of balls that got caught, when a chap took a crap, in the woods. And that trap underneath... Oh, I can'
t bear the thought!
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: i shouldn'
t have said specifically Si, but more like the gold and silver also stored in the IC's << gold melting point isn'
t tinny either.
Kamuela: mircea_popescu: also honestly i don'
t remember what that was in reference to, exactly lmao
BingoBoingo: The agents got kind fo rude with their insisting I know something, but it wasn'
t quite Hannibal Lecter "free range rude" rude
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: still ? << you don'
t know how this works i take it. they'll be pulling on that thread in 2030. why drop it ?
mircea_popescu: earlier they sent an email spam blast which "wasn'
t them"
Kamuela: well, I mean you attacked my philosophies, ideas, accomplishments, and character in about 20 nonstop minutes, man. i'm sorry i didn'
t pass another test of yours by remaining fully collected...
Kamuela: but it's fine because value is subjective and i know that whatever i accomplish or don'
t accomplish won'
t need to be arbitrarily defined by you, mircea_popescu
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: I do TRY to keep it online. I just feel bad for that outage. The good news is that in that outage I rebuilt both power distribution boards, so hopefully it shouldn'
t be needed again.
Kamuela: who told you i didn'
t code?
mircea_popescu: you designed, as in, software architecture. db models and whatnot. tho you don'
t code ?
Kamuela: you're just a little bit of a marxist... that's cool... i mean, i don'
t prefer it, but you are welcome to your own opinion
mircea_popescu: o you don'
t mean what is normally meant by design online, ie, drawing up mockups of webpages. do you ?
Kamuela: no, this is like ensuring a house doesn'
t fall down by having blueprints drawn up before you put the pieces together
jurov: Kamuela, 90% of freelancer is web scraping and php plodding stuff. You can'
t combine this model with bitcoin economy, it needs something fundamentally else at this stage.
mircea_popescu: i guess i could be the plumber's manager for as long as i stfu and don'
t go much in the way.
mircea_popescu: don'
t get all bristly lol. anyway : there's tools to organize all that, use 'em.
Kamuela: i acknowledge i didn'
t think of it first
Kamuela: so... because i want to organize a bunch of people who don'
t know each other, because i interview potential customers, because i will continue to direct operations of both the MVP and later pivots, I am contributing "nothing?"
mircea_popescu: Kamuela approach it from another angle, perhaps it's more digestible that way. suppose the worker's work was no good. you know this because the code doesn'
t compile. suppose the capital's no good. you know this because the check bounces.
mircea_popescu: it only isn'
t the rule because up until now there didn'
t exist this chan, and this ideology.
Kamuela: there isn'
t some mass scheme of exploitation going on
TheNewDeal: but MP, don'
t you remember the cyperpunks thought up PGP before it was implemented?!?!
Kamuela: i don'
t make money on a crowdfund, this is completely development and marketing runway
mircea_popescu: there's no value in "ideas" and rebranding them as "vision" won'
t wash.
mircea_popescu: if i wanted to "start it" i'd have started it in 2012. but i don'
t, because i can'
t nor should i do everything.
Kamuela: mircea_popescu: the coder doesn'
t want to do that. the coder wants to run a development shop
mircea_popescu: Kamuela no, it wasn'
t "let me start it". it was "let the coder start it, and run it"
Kamuela: if you're working with them directly, doesn'
t that make you CEO?
mircea_popescu: Kamuela: briefly, a bitcoin work market a la odesk. development team ready << well, the thing is this : we;ve been wanting something like this built for about a year. finding someone to do it is hard, however, and moreover i won'
t support a would be ceo on op's work. i'd rather deal with the coder guy directly.
TheNewDeal: I do like your work from what I've seen, but I haven'
t the slightest clue about this one
Kamuela: i don'
t mind the real questions, kakobrekla addressed a serious point of "who are you?" that's a real question that has to be answered
Kamuela: there's a real potential to help me out in one way or another, but isn'
t it boring to make words and contribute nothing?
Kamuela: ThickAsThieves: I don'
t know about the actual total market, but just odesk takes in $80mm
Kamuela: and how are they going to address a cheaper and lower-hassle competitor even with Bitcoin? will they openly say jobs paid in bitcoin are discounted? i don'
t think they could do that
Kamuela: punkman: lmao, i don'
t exactly follow
Kamuela: yeah maybe it's a bad thing to mention, i don'
t want to be lumped into that "ether"
Kamuela: and a better question would be: why would I be crowdfunding if i didn'
t see marginal success somewhere else? it's usually cheaper to get funding within your own circle
thestringpuller: i shouldn'
t have said specifically Si, but more like the gold and silver also stored in the IC's
jurov: re: melting Si - can'
t the purified Si monocrystal substrate reused to make another IC? asciilifeform what do you think?
BingoBoingo: Really weird thing was the Agents suggesting that I'd never expect them to find me. I DON"
T WORK THAT HARD TO KEEP ANONYMOUS. I just do the minimum to keep poor kids in shitholes from harassing me into giving them money.
