Luke-Jr: at
the very least, we can setup a polling interface
ThickAsThieves: you also mention soliciting
the opinion of
the "community"
to decide
these
things
Luke-Jr: some influence may be inevitable, but we should
try
to do our best
to separate it
Luke-Jr: I
think it's more practical with a Foundation,
than without one.
ThickAsThieves: you mention
that
the FOundation should not influence software dev
though
Luke-Jr: it also makes reference
to protecting and promoting
Luke-Jr: "By funding
the Bitcoin infrastructure, including a core development
team, we can make Bitcoin more respected,
trusted and useful
to people worldwide."
Luke-Jr: that's just
the first step
Luke-Jr: ThickAsThieves: it's not JUST for software dev;
that
ThickAsThieves: maybe
to something like
The Foundation's purpose is
to advocate for and solicit financial support for bitcoin software development?
Luke-Jr: ThickAsThieves: I don't
think it's at odds with
the mission statement,
though it could possibly be clarified
Luke-Jr: ThickAsThieves:
that's also part of why I
think
the Foundation should be open
to input from people outside of it
Luke-Jr: ThickAsThieves: I
think it should be perfectly clear what
the purpose is, not "fool" anyone
Luke-Jr: they can just give bitcoins, and
the Foundation handles distributing it
to developers and other Bitcoin-promotion efforts
dub: how has your position on raping children changed? because raping your own children is one
thing but when you branch out
to raping other children it could reflect negatively on bitcoin
Luke-Jr: no, I consider it a way for people who want
to support Bitcoin,
to not have
to do
their own research on how
to best spend
the money
ThickAsThieves: so you consider it
to be a scheme
to fool people into giving
to dev of
the software?
Luke-Jr: basically so people who want
to support Bitcoin have a way
to donate
Luke-Jr: it exists
to get money from MtGox/etc
to Gavin, more or less
Luke-Jr: ThickAsThieves: I want it
to empower others, without
telling
them how
to do
things
Luke-Jr: it can help Bitcoin without
trying
to run
the show
Luke-Jr: ThickAsThieves: I want
to minimise
the Foundation's influence as much as possible.
ThickAsThieves: i dont have
to like or agree with
their plot
to acknowledge it
dub: correclty inferring
that
the election is for a small role in a small circle jerk
ThickAsThieves: i disagree
that i'm
the one
they'll be influencing, and disagree
that
they will have no influence of note
dub: I like how he refers
to it as 'the foundation community'
ThickAsThieves: Joerg doesnt want Foundation
to
turn into a US bitcoin-business club
mircea_popescu: and
they're gonna influence exactly you, for as long as you stick
to
that notion.
ThickAsThieves: because like it or not
these guyse are gonna influence some
things
ThickAsThieves: Liz says Foundation needs
to better manage outward infighting so
they dont look like derps
ThickAsThieves: he also likes idea of a super-majority consensus
to decide new featyures
pankkake: a French newspaper said bitcoins were "created by
the mysterious bitcoin foundation"
mircea_popescu: or, alternatively, "so
that nsa budget is relieved a little"
mircea_popescu: right, and
the foundation can
then ask for donations honestly, "so
that ycombinator deadbeats may continue pretending like
they're businessmen"
dub: did Joerg say "+1 internets
to
trace"?
ThickAsThieves: Luke - No, but give community a way
to vote, Liz - No, but we all know gavin works at
the foundation
ThickAsThieves: Should
the foundation have a role in Bitcoin software dev?
pankkake: there's worse
than showing bfl hardware: showing a baby
ThickAsThieves: maybe he let
the neckbeard go our of control and chose
to photochop his best pic on hand?
pankkake: "Crypto currency will regulate
the regulators." I like
this guy :p
dexX7: isn't
that
the berlin guy?
ThickAsThieves: i
tried
to make an account at btc foundation's website, it says i get a confirmation email, but never arrived
dub: yeah it loaded on second
try
dub: ThickAsThieves: is
there supposed
to be some audio with
that?
mircea_popescu: i would propose you yourself as anecdotal proof
that no such bulslhit detector either exists or is available.
pankkake: even if you can have instant access
to
the correct information, it is drowned in a sea of misinformation, or just stupid useless content
Duffer1: also
there are effectively zero socialist parties in america
dexX7: kakobrekla: well, i'm able
to parse bitstamp/btct data into a format
that can be imported as historical data into nt, but it would be neat if i could submit
trades via ninjatrader
mircea_popescu: Bitcoin Foundation. "We're irrelevant so you don't have
to be!"
dexX7: i
think
the best would be
to look out for other
trading softwares.
tbh i didn't do much research and nt is cool, but maybe not
the best fit for our purposes
ozbot: Bitcoin Foundation Final Debate | Lets
Talk Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 what's an information age and what's
the problem with
the us having like one almost nonsocialist party ?
pankkake: even for
things
that don't have an API
pankkake: I'm asking
this as I could provide an API bridge, if ninjatrader can deal with one standardized API
pankkake: no, expect. but accept
too obviously
dexX7: the api of btct can be as good as it could be, but if
they don't allow other providers
than
those who are partnered with, it's worth nothing
dexX7: yeah well, and shitty proprietary
trading software without an open connection for other data providers
dexX7: it's actually not
that cool
Duffer1: I'm going
to look into ninjatrader, coinflow just doesn't do it for me
dub: add in chemtrails and we're already in
the alien narcoterrorist holocaust
dub: more water == more flouride == more acceptable host
to reptilian seeding
Duffer1: i find it shocking
that a movement like
the
tea party could even exist in
the INFORMATION age
pankkake: focusing on drinking isn't bad
though. people really should stop
to drink
their sugar-with-some-water stuff
ThickAsThieves: any suggestion of diet has ike a 90% chance of being better
than
the average american's current one
pankkake: sure, but
the actual food recommendations i've seen are pretty stupid
ThickAsThieves: basically
the sentiment is 'fuck you michelle for suggesting we eat better and drink water'
mircea_popescu: KRAMER: Yeah, well I wasn't looking for a long
term relationship. I was on
TV.
mircea_popescu: KRAMER: Well, I'm not saying
that! You know,
things are going pretty well for me here. I met a girl...
mircea_popescu: KRAMER: What do you want me
to say?
That
the
things haven't worked out
the way
that I planned?
That I'm struggling, barely able
to keep my head above water?
That L.A. is a cold place even in
the middle of
the summer?
That it's a lonely place even when your stuck in
traffic at
the Hollywood Freeway?
That I'm no better
than a screenwriter driving a cab, a starlet
turning
tricks, a producer in a house he can't afford? Is
ThickAsThieves: "just cuz i'm cold, doesn't mean I want people
to
think I'm cold." ~obama

ThickAsThieves: "Microsoft agrees its painfully unfunny iPhone parody ads were 'off
the mark' "
