Vbs: no, I'm pretty sure
they'll exist
dub: pics dont show power connects, must mean
they dont exist
dub: Vbs: our bfl monarch
trolling is weak
truffles: dub i
thought u were a shill for
the foundation
assbot: !mp <signcrypted dpaste.com url> (desc: returns
the response from MPEX order)
assbot: !ticker <exchange> <ticker> (desc: returns current
ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO) {short: !t}
assbot: Have you got any
tobacco?
dddbtc: Does anyone else
think ICEDRILL.ASIC seems riskier
than other
things?
assbot: Last
trade for DMS.SELLING on BTCTC was at 0.01783 BTC [+]
assbot: It's so strange
that you don't remember any of your poetry.
thestringpuller: despite speculators
trying desperately
to prop up
the bottom line
dddbtc: and no PMB's
that aren't currently hashing
truffles: u went
to a party with a rundown house, sick brag?
dub: a house
that should probably be worth in
the vincinity of $10mn if it wasnt falling dowon
dub: not a
thing in oakland
truffles: u caught
the left over herpes
then
dub: huge 60's porno palace left
to decay
dub: pretty cool shindig (hows
that
truffles?)
though
truffles: lonesome
tail, you seem younger
than
that
dub: there was rather a lot of lonesome
tail around
dub: there was a 'bitcoin accepted here' sticker in
teh kitchen
dub: in other news, I went
to a party friday night
mircea_popescu: that happened a while back, anyway, probably right around
the fork.
thestringpuller: but it would seem all an entity need do, is get
their hooks into
the bitcoin foundation, and any interest
they want put into bitcoin could be done
thestringpuller: but back
to
the point of rich people not having
the
time. who has
the
time
to put in core development of BTC?
mircea_popescu: might as well be a bunch of ignorant kids, and
therefore brave.
mircea_popescu: but adding all
this
together it still doesn't quite cut it.
mircea_popescu: there's something
to be said for
the excellent
timing : less
than a week after I bitchslapped him
there's suddenly supoenas everywhere. let's dillute it.
mircea_popescu: the
theory may have some merit. make a bunch fo scams, have
them pop in concert,
then come in "for
the good of
the industry"
thestringpuller: "no investing unless you fill out
these DMV forms" even
though
the DMV has nothing
to do with
the SEC
thestringpuller: guess it would be
the same approach
they'll
take for bitcoin
mircea_popescu: it's not
the
terrorists being felt up in airports, it's
the citizenry.
mircea_popescu: i mean, it's clearly one single group, just a few people.
they have nothing at all.
mircea_popescu: i have my doubts, but anyway,
the cheek is incredible on
the face.
mircea_popescu: anyway.
this shit smells pretty bad,
there are people who suspect it's just governmental skirmishing
truffles: i like how u ran with
that heh
thestringpuller: Just because
they lined up a billion idiots doesn't make it
the perfect bad idea.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: I would go as far (with
truffles
thought),
that you can line up even a billion rich pseudo-smart idiots
mircea_popescu: before
they used
to run
their icbit / btcjam / w/e unheard of scams in anonimity.
mircea_popescu: it's only recently
that very cheeky scammors have begun
to actually
take
the pretense
to relevancy.
truffles: always
trying
to fit in everywhere
thestringpuller: however it seems like
the infinite hit points phenomenon, stupid people always seem
to have money (be it from
the socialized welfare et. al)
mircea_popescu: seeing how
the us pays welfare
to about 100 mn people each month, and seeing how
the forum population is in
the
thousands we basically have an infinite supply of people who
think
they know better, and are
too stupid
to even suspect otherwise.
mircea_popescu: ESPECIALLY
than anyone who isn't impressed with how smart, unique special and important
they are
truffles: there will always be brown nosers
too
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yes.
there's
this deeply entrenched mentality of stupid, in
the us. it manifests as people spend 50 bux ior w/e for half a btc, and
then proceed
to know better
than anyone
mircea_popescu: besides, how is
that ever distinguished ? what draws
the line between innocent and manipulative ? one's own preferences ?
thestringpuller: thus stupid people have infinite hitpoints, yea, so you
think
that is
the case here?
thestringpuller: oh yea, I remember
that. pretty much akin
to "there will always be soldiers at an army base"
gecko_x8: but what do you
think of
this 30 actm share shit? innocent bot or manipulation?
mircea_popescu: gecko_x8
that's ok, not like
trilema is going anywhere.
gecko_x8: mircea_popescu i'm yet
to read your articles, altough i'm aware of
them and planning
to read..
ozbot: The story of Pointless and Witless pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller you familiar with
the infinite hitpoints problem ?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu
then it seems it's only a matter of
time before
the people willing
to give up
their number realize
their suitor doesn't have a real job, and works at mcdonalds - yet
tells girls he's a 4 star chef
w_white: i have been wondering
that myself.
mircea_popescu: what's with all
the funny letters anyway ? ŕ wtf s
that
w_white: dub: youŕe right. i could be wrong. i can call
them myself.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller like if you know a chick loves
to be complimented and will do anything if you
tell her she's smart. you have her number.
dub: w_white: which forum users? anyone
that has been around longer
than 'Ken' himself? I presume you are aware
taht creating a forum account doesnt cost anything
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu what do you mean by people have
their "number"?
w_white: dub: yes, easic has confirmed it in email
to several users on
the forum, stating
that
theyŕe in business with VMC but are under NDA.
thestringpuller: Once he unavoidably ran out of cash he proceeded
to issue more shares, deeply diluting existing shareholders (new shares were issued for values at
times below even 1% of what early investors had paid). Eventually GLBSE
took control of
the asset and forced a motion. At
the
time GLBSE management was acting in such an inept and erratic manner however (delisting spontaneously some other asset)
that McFarland was retu
dub: w_white: have you seen anything about
the NDA other
than a guy on a forum mentioning an NDA?
thestringpuller: The subsequent GLBSE ipo yielded roughly 10k BTC for 10k shares. Unable
to complete
the original plan McFarland devised his own system for valuating miner bonds and proceeded
to
trade on
the open market according
to it, impervious
to warnings
that both his system was broken and
that in any event his implementation is defective.
thestringpuller: Late September 2012 Patrick McFarland aka DiabloD3xxii came up with
the idea of a .million BTC company. sometime in April.
This was going
to be some sort of mining venture
then modified
to datacenter
then eventually further modified
to include electricity generation and other lines.
w_white: pankkake: for me personally i am not betting on
things working.
pankkake: w_white: you seem
to be satisfied at "things exist". your question should be "are
things going
to work? am i going
to get something out of it?"
mircea_popescu: nah,
the core issue here is
that we have a group of people who have pretty much got
the forum/reddit retard's number
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: if we go buy your bitcoin drama
timeline, it seems
that even
those considered "functional" (bad word I know) such as Diablo-D3 are
technically scammors
w_white: i honestly never
thought of it.
w_white: so you
think
the NDA is real, but it regards something not related
to 28nm chip production?
gecko_x8: WTF is it with
the 30 actm shares
mircea_popescu: that scam is directly linked
to
the
tytus picostocks scam, which is
the originator of pretty much all
the current gems.
mircea_popescu: consider
the case of
the original basic. forum idiots are STILL arguing with my girl over it.
mircea_popescu: however,
the scammors are notoriously difficult
to pin down.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller actually some rich people do
try
to involve
themselves.
pankkake: "The ACTM's
team can not run Avalon chips in full speed with everything needed opensourced by Avalon. What do you expect from
them when it comes
to get
their own 28nm super super chips running?"
