mircea_popescu: i have an idea, let's all call ourselves things we aren't and then do a shitty job of it.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, might've upgraded it, this is just after d3 lauched so don't really remember, point being i doubt they need a kickstarter to continue blogging
BingoBoingo: It wouldn't be the first time such things happened in Missouri
BingoBoingo: You know, this account selling thing is why there can't be old timers on the forum
fluffypony: I don't think he's a mod
pete_dushenski: well ya, google isn't broke
mircea_popescu: yeah it just doesn't add up.
pete_dushenski: the only part of the article i didn't totally grok was the aryan bit
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu finally finished the monumental flesh vs. machine article. doesn't seem your thoughts on english speakers have much changed.
mircea_popescu: (and i didn't think much of english speakers back in 2010, either.)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: If you're going to really be the best MP scholar you can be, you need to be able to tackle the Romanian writings << sorry folks. i didn't do it on purpose, i just had nfi we'll end up here.
mircea_popescu: and that way i won't have to put you back on ignore either.
usagi: No we haven't really chatted
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If it didn't seem destined for the BadBat category would make an interesting BitBet
BingoBoingo: usagi: I've read the history and your interactions with others. I actually don't think you are a scammer at all. I still think you are incredibly dangerous.
usagi: I haven't been here in 9 months, since that time you have established yourself in this community. I find your case in particular very interesting.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, i can't find the apology article, perhaps it's been removed but that sites was taking reddit posts, rewriting them, upboating them to the top and attracting a lot of traffic, i speculate the site was sold to someone who wanted to do it up and improve the quality but no proof, just a hunch
BingoBoingo: Information is worthless in the hands of people who can't interpret it
mircea_popescu: <usagi> But MP kept shitting all over GLBSE. Maybe he knew something, maybe he didn't, back then we didn't really know << i knew things the lot of you didn't before it was even cool.
BingoBoingo: It definitely isn't an impossible task. Certainly more rewarding that going around like a certain someone who imagines "<usagi> In this case, mircea popescu personally does not like me because I can out-talk him."
BingoBoingo: %t
assbot: All quotes from the incomparable Mircea Popescu: http://t.co/tdb6liMr0s
usagi: If you have to fight the government for your freedom then do so, beyond that I don't see what dragging the us government into things accomplishes
usagi: But MP kept shitting all over GLBSE. Maybe he knew something, maybe he didn't, back then we didn't really know
TheNewDeal: didn't glbse promise returns , like a pyramid scheme?
usagi: Bingo you do what you feel you need to do. I don't know you
BingoBoingo_: I don't run a fund, I play with MP's money and he repackages it as part of his fund.
usagi: You didn't know?
TheNewDeal: well if you pick bullshit "exchanges" in the first place, aren't you asking for trouble?
TheNewDeal: I just took a glance, I haven't talked to anyone
TheNewDeal: I had the impression that WOT doesn't tell you something, it merely points you in the direction of people to talk to in order to format an opinion
gribble: You rated user usagi on Sun Aug 17 10:48:58 2014, with a rating of -2, and supplied these additional notes: https://twitter.com/UsagiMeijin ; doesn't know how to WoT http://bitcoinstats.com/irc/bitcoin-otc/logs/2014/08/17#l1408286607.
usagi: I don't think you're cutting me a fair deal. That's also fair in a way, I can't make you like me. But don't waste my time kay
usagi: Wouldn't klnow
usagi: TheNewDeal; Hmm, well I don't really follow the securities forum anymore
usagi: Yeah I haven't been here in 9 months
mircea_popescu: total btc payments that didn't go where they were supposed to or got lost to date ? 0.
mircea_popescu: logic, for people who can't add.
mod6: that was pretty funny. i just had gotten started in eulora, and hadn't figured out how to pick anything up yet. so i tried to fight it.
TheNewDeal: didn't even think of that. Was a joke nonetheless
mike_c: well isn't that what we're talking about?
mircea_popescu: and btw, if you don't get paid come and bitch, you're definitely getting paid just i may forget.
mircea_popescu: decimation aren't you impressed with two idiots that don't even know wtf version they cloned
ben_vulpes: %t
mircea_popescu: however, the only people who accept the latter are people who also have some sort of insulation in place, so they don't actually care.
ThickAsThieves: sure, but they did/do have it to where people can't buy whenever price is low
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol you don't understand "professional" and "wall street" like teh media vcs do.
mircea_popescu: well okay, so in the future when you'll be you won't be able to have a bad idea anymore.
bitmia: mircea_popescu: thanks, I've actually read your post. however it still isn't clear if it'd get listed if you personally don't like the idea or consider the business venture to be pointless
mircea_popescu: must suck to be the most powrful country in the world, can't even blend a strawberry.
ThickAsThieves: is it a good or bad thing that you can now threaten customer service "If you don't fix this, I'll start a Reddit riot."
xanthyos: also danielpbarron you don't believe in intellectual property
cazalla: mircea_popescu, here are mine https://www.dropbox.com/s/eu4vcgv706cgr6l/cazalla_forum_posts.html apologies for dropbox link, i was going to setup my own site but apache2 has changed since last time i used it and i haven't figured it out yet
TheNewDeal: or perhaps I just didn't understand what wavelength was
TheNewDeal: i just couldn't think of the word
TheNewDeal: bah, couldn't think of the word
X-Rob: I use it because people take our open source webapp, make piles of modifications, and then don't give the changes back
mircea_popescu: i don't even recall what afero says
X-Rob: and I'm xrobau everywhere APART from IRC, so it hasn't bothered me that much
X-Rob: re x-rob/xrobau in gribble - I lost the GPG key for 'x-rob', and haven't really had the enthusiasm to try to get the account deleted so I can recreate it.
BingoBoingo: %t
RagnarDanneskjol: I drive, but prolly shouldn't
ben_vulpes: your client doesn't tell you when you're muted?
ben_vulpes: "All I did was load the blocks from disk into memory; which wasn't really accomplishing much."
punkman: hitting it didnt't work :/
punkman: MolokoDeck: in case you didn't see this in the logs: https://github.com/maraoz/proofofexistence
asciilifeform: i wouldn't imagine the 'sworn monks' can keep the lid on indefinitely - only thus far. as we've seen, they succeed in keeping the lid on 'suite a' & co. is the argument, then, that the pressure under the lid cannot be too high then ?
asciilifeform: this is almost convincing re: the impossibility argument. but suppose the goods isn't a generic rsa pill, but something more akin to nuke. that is, oppenheimer & friends didn't run off to an island and form own kingdom, because their 'jewel' required astonishing resources to put into action (industrial empire) and not very useful on their own, on paper
asciilifeform wasn't there, didn't personally boot carter - or gorbached - from the goodies vault. but tale is plausible. compartmentalization of 'fun secrets' is generally easy because of the miniscule number of qualified thieves - that is, folks who apprehend the true value of the goods.
asciilifeform: 'mr carter, you aren't cleared for this, and if you ask again there will be problems.' ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: ah won';t you just play my oracle here ?
asciilifeform: let's give them some context, then. picture scenario where the $maxint in u.s. cryptologic work actually resulted in something useful. but, so useful that, like a thermonuke, it isn't fit to trot out on just any everyday occasion.
asciilifeform: jurov: the hypothetical master doesn't need to. he just sorta sits there quietly and bakes pills against rsa; creates diddled but internationally-appealing block ciphers; etc
asciilifeform: it will make itself known, presumably, if it advances to the front line and 'fires' - but wouldn't it be great to know -before- ?
mircea_popescu: that's a contradiction in terms don't you know.
mircea_popescu: so that people couldn't like, you knoiw, steal his selfies from his plaintext gmail acct ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let me put it some other way. wouldn't you expect that if mp is conversant in pgp, so would be obama ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not necessarily. the inventor, of, say, 'joseki' is probably long dead - but a small army of monkeys (engineers, sw/hw production staff, auditors, etc) have access to 'the goods' - and they aren't leaking either.
asciilifeform: can't afford - or won't prioritize ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because they can't afford to pay smart people enough.
asciilifeform: almost enough to believe that the author is secretly on the side of the forces of good - i.e. he isn't genuinely trying to fool anyone
mircea_popescu: mod6 dun worry about it, it doesn't need fixing.
mircea_popescu: yeah well that link doesn't have avalon 3 blades
X-Rob: https://leaserig.net/index.jsp?fprovider=xrobau&t=1
railzand: I pointed 12.5 T at it on a stratum server
BingoBoingo: Ah, PitythePool just doesn't work
mircea_popescu: mod6 he has a point, it doesn't move more than 4x either way on a recalibration
mircea_popescu: %t
BingoBoingo: Haven't mined it yet but I'll point a trickle there to see if they report anything... Once I make an account as I am nao
mircea_popescu: another few bitcents to keep that thing going won't be anyone's concern. maybe see if you can contact the rig owner or w/e. wriggle it in.
ben_vulpes: you a) can't read documentation and b) don't know how to ask questions.
ben_vulpes: if over the course of that week you haven't figured it out...
ben_vulpes: properly perm'd homedir. if none of the above makes sense, you don't know enough about how computers work to be fucking with gpg. luckily, you'll learn it over the course of a week writing your own wrapper.
pankkake: Apocalyptic: I fear your email server still doesn't handle greylisting properly :( also, setting up a SPF record would help you not getting greylisted
mircea_popescu: same kid doesn't have to lay optic cable before he reads silly derpage on the internet.
mircea_popescu: like, kid doesn't have to go to the forest, cut logs and make a schoolhouse before he can have a basic math class.
pete_dushenski: it really doesn't get much lulzier
assbot: Meet Gavin Andresen, the Most Powerful Person in the World of Bitcoin http://t.co/vIOaxSoN3x >/techreview
mircea_popescu: "i don't speak anything but english and english is mostly spoken in north america. i find this statistically interesting!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, since you're using friendly ppl i wouldn't much expect actual scam
