ThickAsThieves: (Gavin Andresen) I don’t foresee us formally creating a spec within
the next year … actually really at all.
There are so many
things
to work on, I would rather spend
time actually developing
the code
than creating a spec.
ThickAsThieves: What is your opinion of libbitcoin, and are
there plans
to create a formal spec for Bitcoin?
truffles: if u can collude in
that way, its not a perfect system ofc
jcpham: fork
the blockchain, get sued.
jcpham: (PM) Many lawyers would jump on
the opportunity for antitrust lawsuits if
this collusion occurred. From my perspective
this would clearly be an offence worth litigating.
jcpham: Is
there any concern about mining collusion? If
the
top 3-4 pools
teamed up,
they could choose
to only build on each other’s block chain and effectively ignore
the rest of
the network.
truffles: oh wait let me offer some money for people
to
troll sites i hate
jcpham: channel could use a little more
trolling
truffles: its only suspicious because
there were 2 other competent persons doing
the questions who werent as precise
truffles: but
there were multiple choices so..
jurov: maybe she used
the fanbase
to solve it, no?
truffles: i call b.s. on
that cuz she has massive fanbase but who knows
truffles: on "king of
the nerds" some chic said she used it
to solve physics problem
truffles: just
trying
to get what u see as "real" art
truffles: <[\\\]> what are
things u enjoy?
truffles: <thestringpuller> Sounded like PR was
talking
through mircea_popescu >>> or maybe she logged in for a few minutes
[\]: and
that about sums it up
[\]: except
the bastard wouldn't give me a real account and must use some stupid passthrough
[\]: and
then I got a bunch of almost owrthless crap
that pays me money
mircea_popescu: anyway, imsa got mixed up into all of
this because back in
the ddos days he was sitting right over
there and he went
[\]: truffles: same
thing?
truffles: <[\\\]> art is for fags >>>> art is for
the cultured
[\]: mircea_popescu: is
that how you speak
to PR?
mircea_popescu: honey, you misread irc
tone. you're
the day's hero over here.
peterl: right, but you didn't exactly say "we have a botomless need for art", it sounds more like "we might need a picture or
two drawn sometime"
mircea_popescu: the only
thing for sure is
that it'll always need more art.
thestringpuller: The ones
that are
talented are hard
to recruit, even in
their infancy.
ThickAsThieves: you also might consider separating
the post entirely from
the CTO stuff
mircea_popescu: peterl nah he has a point,
twasn't nearly insisted upon enough
ThickAsThieves: if you accept
the conversation, you could improve your post and potentially improve
the quality of your submission
mircea_popescu: and in exchange you can make any further comments any
time you want :D
mircea_popescu: anyway. here's what i'm gonna do : i'ma steal
this dialogue and post it as a comment
ThickAsThieves: i read
the post, wasnt sure what you were offering, so i asked
mircea_popescu: buncha kids coming in here with
their obvious
things i've overlooked and disturbing
mircea_popescu: well i guess i'm an idiot
then ? SEEMS OBVIOUS
TO ME!!!
mircea_popescu: avenue B : it's good enough, he gets
the
task of making fifty game sprites as so and so, and how much would he like
to be paid for
this ?
peterl: So
the art contest is more of a job application for artists
to get work from S.MG?
mircea_popescu: artist sees
the article. instead of going "o, i am an enchanted unicorn, i should be sent cookies!" or "oh, i saw on
tv contests are badmkay" he goes cool, let's see what i can do.
mircea_popescu: well maybe
this isn't obvious, so let's go
through
the process.
mircea_popescu: if
their submission impresses
the ssw is certainly on
the
table.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i don't offer stock options
to people just walking in
the door.
mircea_popescu: people like
to run
their mouth. lazy butts who know already
they won't do it are finding
this excuse. if
this wasn't here it'd be another.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
that is EXACTLY why i don;'t believe paying helps./
ThickAsThieves: hell you paid 10btc when
they worth more for people
to photochop a rape scene and look at
the crap you got
ThickAsThieves: and something
that could motivat epeople
to rally behind you
mircea_popescu: i can see why artists get queasy when
they're put in
the same position developers have had (and
thrived in!) for decades now
mircea_popescu: in
the end
the discussion always is should i stick
to
the dayjob or should i
take
the plunge.
ThickAsThieves: ive had a number of guys with money and
the next big idea come
thru my doors wanting freebies and cheapies
ThickAsThieves: i do agree
that a good artist will be inspired
to speculate on
the right project
mircea_popescu: this is all fine and good, but an artist needs
to
turn off
the
tv once in a while.
mircea_popescu: and
the large corps,
trying
to prevent S.MG from killing
them
mircea_popescu: yeah. organisations sponsored by an alliance of
the A,
trying
to prevent
the B from A-ing
ThickAsThieves: they have whole organizations educating
them
to know better
mircea_popescu: as far as i can see, it's
trivial do distinguish C from B. seeing how
teh B need me
to become A... no brainer.
ThickAsThieves: the decenly
talented and undiscovered mostly know better
than
to enter evert free contest and cross
their fingers
mircea_popescu: just, in
this case, it's quite clear i can't
take it and run. da fuck am i gonna do with a splashscreen
mircea_popescu: his job
to pick and choose. i
think
the arguments here are well made.
