mircea_popescu: the fact
that
the dollar is insanely volatile
these days has little bearing on anything other
than...
the dollar itself.
mircea_popescu: "our currency collapsed against
this
thing
therefore
this
thing can't be used
to price hamburgers in"
jcpham: dawwww i like seeing
these old smart people look dumb
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the usual set of ignorant/half informed nonsense people do
these days
Scrat: using
that
to make a point
Lyspooner: Money is most optimal when it is fixed in value just as commerce is facilitated when we have fixed weights and measures. When you buy a pound of hamburger you expect
to get 16 ounces of meat. An hour has 60 minutes. A mile has 5280 feet.
These measurements don’t “float.”

Luke-Jr: jcpham: well, ASICMiner has
the same problem
jcpham: doesn't seem any worse
than asicminer
Luke-Jr: jcpham: even if it weren't a scam, it defeats
the point of mining even more
than centralized pools
jcpham: i can't get behind
their economic model
tk993: I'd say, yeah, sounds
too good
to be
true, jcpham.
jcpham: luke-jr what do
think about
this cloudhashing scam
jcpham: Using our powerful ASIC cloud, we simplify
the mining process for you.

pgp: so, extrpolate into
the future - how does
the mining shit play out?
pgp: that's
the reason yifu started avalon, right?
pgp: right - so...
that doesn't seem so secure
to me...
Namworld: they'll reach 51% at
this rate
pgp: actually, isn't hashing power now more concentrated
than ever?
Diablo-D3: and I'd leave
the shit on just enough
to make it work
Diablo-D3: thats how I'd do it if I wanted
to
Namworld: Well... if someone were
to do
that...
that's exactly how
they'd do it.
Namworld: [15:13] <kakobrekla> also wtf "even if you were
to
take over
the network people would see it comming....... you cant fllip a switch and
take 51% of
the network"
mircea_popescu: sounds a lot like
the internet is not like a
truck argument.
kakobrekla: also wtf "even if you were
to
take over
the network people would see it comming....... you cant fllip a switch and
take 51% of
the network"
Namworld: Scrat, maybe if Bitcoins dies one day, when all BTC are lost
to lost keys, he'll have
the last cascacius coin,
the last bitcoin, saying "My Precious"
kakobrekla: its still better
than half of
the shit you find outthere about bitcoin
Namworld: Yeah, I'm sure he sold near
the
top
deyyo: i couldn't watch him for more

jcpham: can't listen
to him anymore
joecool: i wonder if he lives under a bridge, i notice
there's a bridge in
the background behind him

gribble: MtGox lag is 0 seconds. During

jurov: Yes, you’re correct. For reselling MPEx account, you need special broker license from exclusive reseller such as CoinBr.com.
To obtain it, please send 99 BTC
to CoinBr662GWdiqVz8mXJUnYjWZbBchKAb .
mircea_popescu: basically
the internet is
this place where funny just grows. like a sort of agar for humor.
mircea_popescu: people have found
the article where some doods who explain how $600 is way
too much are being hammered, and want
to add
their own "$3000 is
too much" contributions.
jurov: where? i so want
to
troll
them
that i paid for special broker license
mircea_popescu: "This is not
the case here. Paying
the 30BTC doesn’t mean
that other people can
then
trade via me and I will be able
to earn commissions from
their
trades."
jurov: don't
tell me you fapped hard and spranied wrist again :)

there.
mircea_popescu: that awkward moment when you're watching a vid of some girls going down some stairs and exlaim "wait a second,
this is
that hotel in belgrade"
Diablo-D3: the only proper response
to
that is "I was
thinking how your mom fits mine perfectly"
jcpham: "excuse me, were you
thinking about dicks just now?"
jcpham: this one
time i was sitting around
this campfire
