t have a problem with an over-engineered template that gets reused by someone competent
bitcoinpete: ThickAsThieves: but dude doesn'
t have any bitcoin afaik
mike_c: i know, right? confidence men don'
t gain your confidence by not having a beer with you.
chetty: mike_c: Rassah:Mainly because taking to someone on IRC does'
t give you nearly as much information as talking to them IRL, over beers, while watching their nonverbal cues and cmmunication << uh, does this guy know hom scamming works?//meeting pirate in person helped so many people figure that one out
bitcoinpete: mike_c: if you weren'
t in the wot, i'd swear your quark support was a scam
fluffypony: becase confidence tricksters don'
t exist, and even if they did they'd never know which non-verbal cues they should be giving off
mike_c: Rassah:Mainly because taking to someone on IRC does'
t give you nearly as much information as talking to them IRL, over beers, while watching their nonverbal cues and cmmunication << uh, does this guy know hom scamming works?
bitcoinpete: fluffypony: maybe people are pissed that Draper didn'
t reveal the USMS auction price on the Colbert Report yesterday << this theory should have its own blog post. maybe tie it into the baltic bitcoin conference one?
bitcoinpete: BingoBoingo: I tend to treat people in Bitcoin
T-shirts the same way drug dealers treat people wearing I <3 crack
T-shirts << lol !
pigeons: wow really they are already trying to damage control the 1% of the press they get that isn'
t positive? and from a bitcoinpete (no offense lol) blog post?

t a pretty one << i like this
fluffypony: meanwhile we haven'
t even gotten to 1.0 yet
fluffypony: but...but...isn'
t it Blockchain 3.0 technology?
bitcoinpete: Rassah: That statement of his tells me he either has never met Vitalik in person, or doesn'

cazalla: you may as well write a list of who isn'
t jewish, it'll be shorter
pankkake: funny how I don'
t like any of those
bitcoinpete: BingoBoingo: Well, if pete isn'
t smart then he's been incredibly lucky. << and crafty! but smart and lucky need not be mutually exclusive.
bitcoinpete: Rassah: There aren'
t a lot of smart people in bitcoinland... I have a feeling Bitcoin Pete isn'
t one either, but is regurgitating things other smart people are saying in his blogs. A beneficial service I guess << hooray for stupid yet useful jooz!
bitcoinpete: * BingoBoingo has never actually been to an airport << huh… ain'
t that the darndest thing
BigBitz: Bitcoin markets don'
t revolve around news.
fluffypony: maybe people are pissed that Draper didn'
t reveal the USMS auction price on the Colbert Report yesterday
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: yeah not bad, some of it is above my pay grade and I don'
t quite grok the nuances, but it's still interesting
ThickAsThieves: <+Rassah> In summary, they had an idea they thought was awesome, they wanted to spend a year working on this awesome idea of theirs, without having to worry about jobs or income, so they marketed their idea to bitcoiners who like dumping money into altcoins... Sounds like they weren'
t dumb at all about this :) //// So, they are about equal to every other altcoin with dream, where's
ThickAsThieves: <+BingoBoingo> My current beef with Etherium is that despite all of their protests they are selling equity in a something. /// worse, they are selling a painting of a duck to dogs, they don'
t yet realize it can'
t fly or quack, but it at least fills their bellies
jurov: honestly i don'
t think adding 100 of us would skew the results much
pankkake: /r/buttcoin can'
t deal with bitcoin opinions that are not the standard /r/bitcoin crap; they expect to fill their bingo cards and it doesn'
t work
Rassah: Mainly because taking to someone on IRC does'
t give you nearly as much information as talking to them IRL, over beers, while watching their nonverbal cues and cmmunication
mircea_popescu: you're on the thin ice of presumption. what makes you think people on the wot don';
t kn ow each other in person ?
Duffer1: haven'
t they already received several thousand perfectly healthy btc?
Duffer1: etherum isn'
t going to end well
BingoBoingo: I tend to treat people in Bitcoin
T-shirts the same way drug dealers treat people wearing I <3 crack
T-shirts
BingoBoingo: So, last friday I'm at the bar and my friends point out a dude with a Bitcoin
T-shirt. Suggest I start a conversation. I point out that in the best case they are a stranger, and in the worst case they are some petty scammer I blogged about.
TheNewDeal: well I didn'
t say empty. You said reject tx's
Rassah: I don'
t keep NMC as mone, stre of value, or a transaction mechanism. I keep it as "a cost to register and renew a domain name"
Rassah: decimation: K... Point is, regardless of what ether is ultimately worth, if they do come up with a system that's as usable as they hope it will be, you could think of ether is jet fuel needed to run it. It won'
t be money, and, privately, the ether guys don'
t seem to want etherium to be money either. Just coins you plunk into the system to keep it rnning
BingoBoingo: Well, their biggest concern should be locating themselves in friendly jurisdictions that don'
t extradite.
decimation: the label "money" isn'
t relevant - jet fuel is eminently salable, whereas the salability of ethereum is extremely dubious - and that's the property I was interested in specifying with the word "money"
Rassah: In summary, they had an idea they thought was awesome, they wanted to spend a year working on this awesome idea of theirs, without having to worry about jobs or income, so they marketed their idea to bitcoiners who like dumping money into altcoins... Sounds like they weren'
t dumb at all about this :)
BingoBoingo: If you don'
t have anything to deliver and you sell "whatevers" the "whatevers" you bought constitute equity in the concern
Rassah: BingoBoingo: Protests? When I alked to them, they wanted to sell equity in it, but couldn'
t due to regulatory crap
Rassah: decimation: Airline companies are spending money on jet fluel futures, with expectation of using it in the future. Doesn'
t mean jet fuel is money
BingoBoingo: Pascal had an application... Busses have an application... Pretty sure Doge had an application even if it wasn'
t a pretty one.
BingoBoingo: Well, if he isn'
t much of a finance guy... Shouldn'
t he be outsourcing the expertise?
Rassah: p.s. I'm not saying their etherium deal is a good one. I don'
t think investing in ether can in any way give a better return than investing in bitcoin... I don'
t think vitalik is much of a finance guy, either, so I'm not sure if this "ipo" ca be blamed on him
Rassah: That statement of his tells me he either has never met Vitalik in person, or doesn'
t know what an inteligent person is like
BingoBoingo: Well, if pete isn'
t smart then he's been incredibly lucky.
Rassah: There aren'
t a lot of smart people in bitcoinland... I have a feeling Bitcoin Pete isn'
t one either, but is regurgitating things other smart people are saying in his blogs. A beneficial service I guess
pigeons: probably they won'
t email you the wallet for another few bfl-months, but i hae no actual clue about that
BingoBoingo: I just dunno why anyone would want ether that can'
t soak a rag
mike_c: what would be trading if it wasn'
t released?
mircea_popescu: benkay ironically, for this deal he doesn'
t actually need one. he's the long party.
benkay: can'
t import boring machines
benkay: boring and company llc doesn'
t even register on google, wtf
mike_c: you also pay for it if you don'
t give her the wedding she wants.
dub: we're in a backyard too, for the portion that isn'
t on the beach
mircea_popescu: As far as my observations go, I think there are many idealists, but they are a bit complicit in that these fuckers aren'
t shouted down or ejected because they are "of the community"."
mircea_popescu: i guess it works fine for most blogs, which really aren'
t much deeper than that, and definitely for most perianne borings, which... yeah.
mircea_popescu: benkay: i don'
t. it's a phenomenal waste of human capital. << there is no such thing as "waste" of human capital any more han there's waste of carbon. it's an element, whatever it gets used for is just fine.
mircea_popescu: i guess in a sense this is just the unavoidable effect of their irrelevant impotence. "if you can'
t do something useful anyway, might as well make a buck doing something pointless"
mircea_popescu: benkay: can'
t say yet need moar read << pls let the group know.
pigeons: don'
t forget the child porn and drug trafficicking to go with the terrorism. oh and file-sharing
mircea_popescu: lobbes: the problem I have with weird al nowadays is that I don'
t even know the songs he is parodying anymore << this is because you've stopped fucking teenagers.
mircea_popescu: the guy that didn'
t manage to buy some bitcoins and also had a sextape ?
ThickAsThieves: "Instead of making a "You guys just don'
t understand how big this is going to be" comment, why don'
t you tell us what your plans involve so we get a better idea of what ethereum is? " ~smarter commenter
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well clearly if "he thinks" and "he can'
t see" your dumb face he wins the internets.
ThickAsThieves: ohnoes coindesk commenter has burned me: "I wish i could see your stupid face in about 10 years when almost every interaction you have with an electronic device relies on a decentralized blockchain.. "we don'
t need smart contracts" haha are you for real!? "
rithm: i don'
t seeing having the value bitcoin has
benkay: <mircea_popescu> benkay: or is that not actually a text file? << hasn'
t been a texrfile for all of two years. // cult of complexity
rithm: but it doesn'
t exist yet to be traded
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: Sexy Saffron better not tell reddit she's an mp employee << that's okay, the only thing that's keeping derppit from a collective headexploy is all the shit their collective dumbass doesn'
t know.
rithm: looks neat if wasn'
t a three letter honeypot
mircea_popescu: benkay: or is that not actually a text file? << hasn'
t been a texrfile for all of two years.
mthreat: ya, i usually get under the top "blue rate", but my cueva hasn'
t given me fake money
benkay: i don'
t. it's a phenomenal waste of human capital.
benkay: cept i guess "there will never be another {silicon,internet,bitcoin}" doesn'
t push views
bitcoinpete: "The app tells you how well you slept, or didn'
t, by giving you a unique Sleep Score each night. You can begin to correlate interruptions in your sleep to external conditions and disturbances. You can play back key sound disturbances via the app to say “Ah, the garbage truck broke my sleep cycle at 3am. I didn’
t even realize that.”
benkay: can'
t say yet need moar read
lobbes: the problem I have with weird al nowadays is that I don'
