shinohai:
I meant no evil though, just a church of subgenius reference to all-seeing jhvh1

I thought danielpbarron would be offended when it first appeared.

I borked my latest order upon your return? thx
Framedragger:
i need to take it off because
i want to finish reading the main bot's source - don't trust it yet. this will be completed real soon now. (tm)
Framedragger: it cites log lines. needs to be polished. that's all
i wanted to test for now.
mircea_popescu:
i mean, writing for qntra pays shares, but it's by length not by content ; you played auction agent on tardstalk for me for free, at least according to my papers. it's true that
i asked you to, but then again it's also true submit box asked you to not exceed 5k chars or w/e. maybe you're biased in favour of it!
mircea_popescu: entirely your call, but conceptually
i dun see the basis for this bias.
shinohai: Perhaps you are right,
I was worried it may come out sounding biased.
mircea_popescu: "
i met this asshole on irc and
i'm biased because hey, totally, this is a thing, asshole-from-irc bias. you know, just like with relatives, except not."
trinque:
I now test whether single character first words choke the bot.
shinohai: See but if *you* write article BingoBoingo it won't appear
I have bias
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo wait, wait, you're going to feature me on qntra ? so that
i get more traffic than via tardstalk, and for free ? instead of you know, distributing bitcoins in the luzerdom ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> win. << Nah, should return "And
I called the hurr the hurr" this way all eggogs are handled by "Artificial Elliot"
BingoBoingo: "One father
I heard from avoided the word fat at all costs, turning even the Very Hungry Caterpillar from a “big fat” insect to a “great big” one. Another parent said she left the word alone when it was used to describe an animal but would replace it when it was used about a person. Another specifically sought out books where fat was used descriptively and without judgment since she didn’t want her child to think that the word
shinohai: RE: "Sorry,
I won't accept your ads. Due to this,
I view Mircea Popescu as totally unethical."
mircea_popescu: if svg weren't such bullshit this'd be pretty stupid. but as it is -
i actually prefer it. but txt plox not html.
shinohai:
I had actually discussed with mod6 doing V-style wot viewer with ascii graphs
jhvh1: He was in heaven and
I was in hell!
jhvh1: And so
I called the Roundhouse the Roundhouse
mircea_popescu: there was something else
i had on gribble wish list but can'tfucking recall now wtf it was
deedbot: Framedragger rated scriba 3 << An instance of a bot
I wrote and manage.
I trust it with log history, but if it becomes sentient and starts asking for money, do beware.

mircea_popescu: you can still use gribble in pm if you prefer,
i'm not kicking it.
mircea_popescu: no,
i fucking can't. pro tip : if your "idea" is made while you're working on it, this means you're a boring, banal schmuck. have better ideas.

https://archive.is/pXqvt << "Last week
I received an email from a dear student with a serious case of writer’s block. She’s been writing a screenplay for the last four years, and her work is almost finished. To her despair, however, she recently discovered that her very project (idea, locale, plot, and timeframe, all) was made into a film about to be released next month.
I’m sure you can feel her frustration and disappo
pete_dushenski: "Seriously, Jeremy—this segment of my race is not worthy of succor.
I agree with the three passersby that refused to help them. Indeed,
I applaud the thug for abiding by the instincts that God instilled in his savage breast!
BingoBoingo: <mtrgt> First of all, you're rude. Second, my time is valuable.
I'm here because
I thought there's a business proposal, and
I don't talk business in public chatrooms.<< AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
shinohai:
I can only hope she brings the hot blond over too
mircea_popescu:
i'll buy when they're on hands and knees ; capable to fit average ripe pear in anus without tearing the fruit.
mircea_popescu: what am
i, their mother ? let whoever loves them buy early
shinohai:
I was afraid
I might be eaten by fat furries or something thestringpuller
mircea_popescu:
i fear there's a lot of rudeness awaiting in the future of teh trabajadores del mundo ; unbeknownst to them of course and "nobody could have predict"-able.
mtrgt: Do you have a proposal or shall
I stop wasting my time?
mircea_popescu: ah ok. well then
i guess that settles that. thanks for dropping by in any case.
mtrgt: First of all, you're rude. Second, my time is valuable.
I'm here because
I thought there's a business proposal, and
I don't talk business in public chatrooms.
mircea_popescu: so
i asked shinohai who's one of the few republican folk with a tardstalk account to send you a pm.
mircea_popescu: no,
i know. you're here because
i ordered a survey of the ... hm... let's say politely bitcent space, and a coupla things popped up. satoshigalaxy, which got an add, and pokemonsomething,
i don't recall, which apparently you bought
mtrgt:
I'm not even sure why
I'm here to be honest.
I was invited here by a PM on bitcointalk..
mtrgt: yeah, sure,
I'll be around
shinohai:
I think he has some sort of business proposal for you. If you have time to wait
I am sure he will be back soon.
mtrgt: So, what's this chan about? Why were
I invited?
shinohai:
I sent you invite on behalf of mircea_popescu
pete_dushenski: man alive
i thought getting older was supposed to suck. but a day after 'hcore spin class' followed by drinking like a fish at a wedding with way too many lawyers and
i feel like a million bucks. maybe even two!
mircea_popescu: you figure people don't read ? more people read that than this. or what, impatient ?
i answer within minutes, wut.
mircea_popescu: -spb- [Global Notice]
I'll be shutting services down in around ten minutes, for (hopefully) around ten minutes. If you'd like to grab ops in your channels just in case, now is the time to do it. Apologies for the inconvenience! << which opens the eternal dilemma - "is this going to be permanent and
i'ma regret not opping ?"
mircea_popescu: capital means something, and that someting ain't "
i feel this'd be fair"
a111: Logged on 2016-09-03 17:00 mircea_popescu: somehow though, businessmen are supposed to go "oh, hey, neat, you pay negative interest to depositors,
i'll just continue to pay you 5-10%, why not"
mircea_popescu: "
i don't want your money ; and certainly don't NEED it" "but mp! GOVERNMENT COMPLIANCE COSTS!!!!" "Fuck you."
mircea_popescu: because what, someone cancelled the "bitch, be happy if
i take your money for free" ?

☟︎ roby_z: hello mircea_popescu my brother told me about eulora,
i'm trying to enter the wot
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hm,
i guess in context it's not really as shocking as it seemed
mircea_popescu: whole convo is straight out from the insane asylum. "gotta take care of your things" "oh ok
i'll give them to google then"
mircea_popescu: in other news,
i'm now getting spam which goes "Dear Influential Individual," for a salutation.
jurov: btw, aside from above problems,
i tried it and it has much worse node problem than btc
a111: Logged on 2016-09-03 01:39 Bugpowder: Right, The Playpen operation. But there are so many DNMs, no way they are all honeypots. Now, some may be usgov inflitrated, tor may be usgov compromised, but
I don’t think DNMs are driven by usgov.
Bugpowder:
I think he died and the project stalled. But my news is a year out of date. Haven’t been paying attention until ETH/ETC… and there is just tooo much stuff in the ecosystem to keep track of these days.
Bugpowder: OK OK. when grant writing is done,
I will check it out. Is it like huntercoin? Too bad the dev for that died.
mircea_popescu: "This faucet has A LOT of options. Since
I don’t have time to write them all down
I created a video explaining everything you need to know about the faucet" << this somehow made sense, to someone.
Bugpowder: It does worry me, but
I put that into the known unknowns category of risks. And pricing risk adjusted EV, still makes sense for me to hold a signifcant crypto fraction in XMR as printer of new bitcoin. It’s harder these days to print BTC without MPOE-bot.
Bugpowder: As for the controlling issue, coopting of the project is certainly a major risk moving forward, but
I do think you have too much confidence in the sophistication and coordinatino of usgov.
Bugpowder:
I haven’t invested enough time to understand and technically defend it. But
I know people who are true professional on the subject (pre-Bitcoin “professionalization”) and will solicit their expertise on the current state and on RingCT.
Bugpowder: DNMs provide a service to clients, make money for vendors and the host. The risks are assymetric to the reward, but so is swallowing 50 condoms of blow and flying into the US. Plenty of people’s life circumstances make the reward calculus more appealing than you or
I might find.
mircea_popescu: in the absence of economic drivers, there will either be a political driver or no movement. which leaves us with the simple explanation.
i don't gotta prove that every single individual woman thought of dick up her ass every time she spent too much money on cosmetics.
Bugpowder: Right, The Playpen operation. But there are so many DNMs, no way they are all honeypots. Now, some may be usgov inflitrated, tor may be usgov compromised, but

☟︎ mod6: Thanks, Sir.
I like it!
mircea_popescu: but whatever,
i'm sure the derps involved think themselves finger-tenting lever clever for it.
Bugpowder:
I think its privacy features address some serious potential issues that Bitcoin has with fungability and anon unmasking thorough chain analysis.
shinohai: Nothing stands out to me as special about, has blockchain bloat,
I'd rather use Bitcoin to buy drugs.
mod6: ah,
i saw something about that. it said: DRUG DEALERS LOVE THIS!
shinohai: As asciilifeform says,
I see nothing in monero even worth stealing
mod6: uh.
i doubt it. can't speak for other tho.
