mircea_popescu: the only reason i'm even contemplating
the Bs is
this. otherwise i'd just hire A and piss over everyone
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves how's it uncertain ? if
the game is a success
they'll be
the new famous guy.
mircea_popescu: get
the free account when it's free,

to bitch about pauying 30 btc.

mircea_popescu: i will at least be able
to say (as so many
times before), hey community ? you had your opportunity.
mircea_popescu: now, your contention is
that B will be
too pretentious
to recognise a helping hand when one's extended, and only C will contribute
mircea_popescu: these are
the people i wqant. i can help
them,
they can help me, we can go far
together.
mircea_popescu: B has a serious problem in
that it wants
to be A, in many cases it should be A, however... it's not A.
mircea_popescu: i don't need
their name, and i don't need
their farts.
the only way we can work
together is if
they're not ossified old farts.
Diablo-D3: the idiots who produce garbage get paid
the most money
mircea_popescu: now, A is likely
to be already overpaid, as per Peter's principle. my basic management rulebook says "never compete in crowded markets". so, i am not VERY interested in A.
mircea_popescu: types of people who
think
they produce art : A. people with a history, who get paid well already. B. people with
talent but no history. C. idiots who produce garbage.
mircea_popescu: looky. let's segment
this
to understand each other better.
jcpham: based on
the naked chicks, I'm saying mircea_popescu values aethetics
jcpham: but
the 5970's were
the
tits in 2011
jcpham: you can mix and match
too
jcpham: all of my rigs are
three card setups... so unsure
jcpham: all
the x970's are
that setup
mircea_popescu: alternatively someone can come
to me and show me he's super-trusted for his artistry in
the wot.
mircea_popescu: once
they do
that we can
talk. before,
they have nothing
to stand on.
mircea_popescu: they want
to be involved,
they sacrifice a little of
their
time and make a drawing.
ThickAsThieves: but simply because it's worth more
than
that for someones art and experience
mircea_popescu: hey, i don't care. people need
to understand
that you get nothing for nothing.
ThickAsThieves: then i'll be
the first annoying guy
to
tell you it's
too low
mircea_popescu: one whole bitcoin adn a little over a
third of another
mircea_popescu: bitcoin generally needs a lot of it and i
think
tio a large degree
the problem is people never saw an open model.
mircea_popescu: sersiously, i
think
the best way
to go is open and i'm
trying
to implement
that
mircea_popescu: a willingness
to be open and give people chances should NEVER be construed as my inability.
ThickAsThieves: mp, were you unable
to find a suitable artist from our previous conversation?
mircea_popescu: jcpham my memory fails me, what was
the
three card setup really popular back in 2011/12 ?
ThickAsThieves: unfortunately it would require a majority of users
to actually coordinate
jcpham: see how
they handle it
jcpham: i like what
TAT suggested
Diablo-D3: shit blows up,
talking robots, manly sacrifices, expensive
toys
that actually do shit
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: I dunno, Im a
transformers kind of guy
mjr_: you need a futures market, settled monthly, so you only have
to move actual coins once a month
jborkl: Who
the fuck watches My little pony
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: might as well watch what I linked
to
ThickAsThieves: if it werent for you i'd have never even known any of
this
Diablo-D3: they can just make
their own episodes
Diablo-D3: it wont matter if I petition hasbro
to cancel
the series for
the good of
the world
Diablo-D3: bronies know how
to animate
things.
ThickAsThieves: i keep a spreadsheet for myself
to make sure i dont sell naked
jborkl: well,
that works very well actually
ThickAsThieves: my AM wallet address is public, i use
that address for my BF account, and my BTCT,co portfolio is public
ThickAsThieves: jborkl, for
the most part, my assets are fully auditable on
the fly actually
jborkl: TAT, you should know how easy it is
to fractionally reserve something
ThickAsThieves: i can
think of a number of ways his system could be abused by
this practice
ericmuys_: i bet your deposits go into a cold storage and he just credits your account with "btc points" you can withdraw, only a portion at a
time
jcpham: after it enters
the box
jcpham: i'd like
to follow my money on a ledger
jcpham: i've always hated
these website because i do not know what
they are doing on
the backend with my coins

there liquidity is coming from
ThickAsThieves: i have
to wait for manual withdrawals multiple
times a day
jcpham: seperate
trade-chain required
jborkl: you can fractionally bank
toilet paper, just hope not
too many people have
to
take a shit at
the same
time
jcpham: like every
trade existed on
the blockchain
jcpham: these sites which
takes our coins and "make more" can't operate directly on
the blockchain
jcpham: website who scam are a awhole nother
topic
jcpham: for every dollar
that stays in bitcoin,
that's a 100
that _should never_ exist in a fractional reserve bank
jborkl: Formerly a gold day-trader, he began buying Bitcoin
two years ago and
this March gave up his flat and sold his possessions
to begin squatting.
