mircea_popescu: "I am hoping there will be a hard fork and all is resolved soon so that we can go back to normal days with the excitement of watching and reading about all the innovation that is going on with Ethereum. Maybe /u/vbuterin if you have time."

asciilifeform: as it is, i bleed megatonnes of money
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-03#1495375 <<< I am watching the topic eagerly, just waiting for a good Qntra to emerge. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i dunno, perspectives change.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 01:31 mircea_popescu: i'm curious what ending up paying 10x more to host servers than you pay to host women in a given month will do to your "i dun wanna rent" perspective.
mircea_popescu: now i have an army of delicious jars
mircea_popescu: i'm curious what ending up paying 10x more to host servers than you pay to host women in a given month will do to your "i dun wanna rent" perspective. ☟︎
asciilifeform: reckoned up the cost of the missing parts, and it + base cost is > what i got.
asciilifeform: i didn't buy any
shinohai: I thought about it but they are a pretty small pool in terms of total net hash.
mircea_popescu: anyway, eth is going up up up i see.
mats: so i looked at the remaining judge's case history (Charles Wilson) and he doesn't have any that meet the qualifications
a111: Logged on 2016-07-02 20:11 shinohai: http://i.4cdn.org/b/1467483180671.webm <<< for those that like to warm it up before use.
xcfw748: thanks for your time, if i get bored again i may take another pass keeping feedback in mind
shinohai: It certainly isn't my decision to make, ignore me. I am of the "if not broke, why fix?" camp
xcfw748: BingoBoingo shinohai agree completely. however, brands do evolve over time. i intended this to be an evolutionary update. perhaps went to far?
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-02#1495319 <<< this I agree with. The current scheme is instantly identifiable as Qntra, beyond shadow of a doubt. ☝︎
xcfw748: yes, i appreciated when the @media query was added
xcfw748: i believe some adjustments can be made to address your concerns
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i should have sent you some "tits for bits" flyers to put up lolz!
shinohai: http://i.4cdn.org/b/1467483180671.webm <<< for those that like to warm it up before use. ☟︎
xcfw748: if not, let me know where it falls short and i'll see what i can do
xcfw748: if you like it i can finish up what's in the @media query for mobile and send it over
xcfw748: greetings, i have some qntra css that BingoBoingo may be interested in
thestringpuller: did another restart. (i pinged the ip and it works?). so we'll see what happens. I'm just using -connect to do initial sync.
thestringpuller: i can't connect to alf-node
shinohai: Im experiencing much the same with mine, after a while goes to zero connections and never reconnects unless I restart.

asciilifeform: they are spiffy, i've been inside one, it is like lenin's little tank
phf: they have city court, district court and state court, and a police building. i've not seen this many police cars patrollin in my life. even in russia
asciilifeform: lel i lived there for more than decade
phf: girl was complaining in ghetto from time to time "man, i'm tired of these black guys hooting and hollering after me, nigga i'm just trying to make it to the store". so we moved to "safest city in united states" and she ~hates~ it. "men here smell of desperation, frankly i'm more terrified of them then i was of ghetto guys"
asciilifeform: i dunno that i've ever been inside of a 'gated komyoonity'
mircea_popescu: anyway. /me has always lived in ghetto. i can't fucking stand "gated communities" and in general the stench of fear.
phf: i used to live in dodgy part of west philadelphia, and as i would make my way to civilization you'd start encountering campus police on patrol, which i realized is exactly like medieval sentries. these chubby, mostly ineffective guys and girls doing their rounds at 2am. "2 PAST MIIIDNIGHT. ALL IS SAFE"
mircea_popescu: aha. i am evidently not the only one with this plan.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, but i believe you to be the sort who would have also believed romanian state to exist in 1992.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: precisely where i will be visiting.
phf: "backpack or death". that's gotta be lamest gangsta motto i've heard. reminds me of the russian gop stop in the 90s, one tactic was "do you have (cellphone|money|magic the gathering card)?" and if you said no the next gambit always cracked me up "if i found them they will be mine?" like oh shit they're on to me
asciilifeform: i'ma be lookin' at 2 boxes tonight
asciilifeform: should i be scouting bmore digs for mircea_popescu, lel ?
mircea_popescu: nowhere that i know.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, it's true. if the us napalmed this place into the ground i'd be the first to applaud. it's an insult to humanity.
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, is an idea i love. these idiots should not exist.
mircea_popescu: in general, the correct pattern of interaction with argentines, and i suspect south americans in general, is to talk loudly and carry a whip.
gabriel_laddel: I spoke too soon re mustard gas in sa
mircea_popescu: anyway, they opened the 2nd counter and i was out of there in five minutes.
mircea_popescu: rations decided he'd cut in and pretend he's the manager, so i asked him his name, at which point the entire fucking sky fell on his head. he didn't see that one coming, he honestly imagined he's going to be the anonymous responsible & in charge.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel i was sick, recently. wanted supplies. idiots were running one single counter (of the two in the place) and the local women were doing their local womanly bullshit : bagfull of 100+ different 10gram items individually wrapped, to be paid with "credit card". so i asked the girl to call the manager over, and she was like "he's that way" and i was i dun give a shit, call him over. at which point some kid with aspi
gabriel_laddel: "did i tell you about the one time when i took over management of a grocery store for 10 minutes ?" < do tell
gabriel_laddel: my ex-gf was/is stronger than I
gabriel_laddel: physically I am a twink, anyone trying to rob me with a gun is a threat
gabriel_laddel: ^ anyways, if that occurs I'd like to be able to stuff a backpack full of explosives, let the guy run off with it and then detonate without being bothered by the feds
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform economically ? did i tell you about the one time when i took over management of a grocery store for 10 minutes ?
shinohai: http://archive.is/kx8Gj <<< I may be asshole, but I think ppl like this deserve to lose whatever sums of Bitcoin they had.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I've been reading the reports.. hence my interest.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i still question that anybody with two legs, anywhere, is dumber than the folx here in good ol' phreeeeeeedomlande
mircea_popescu: back when they actually had capital controls in place i imported what must amount to one metric ton in us bills via ferry on montevideo.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I don't really want to gas anyone, but must be able to respond to threats in a reasonable manner
phf: hmm i think a111 returns message references in reverse order..
asciilifeform: i dun get it
gabriel_laddel: I've already sold 'stuff' here in the states, and don't see how it could possibly be different in SA?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-02 14:39 gabriel_laddel: What I had intended to say was: I'm on the hunt for products that are difficult to create in the ussa because of the supergay laws, or the interactions between the supergay laws and the situation in the field (ie, why one cannot make automated turrets to defend one's $100/month flat in the hood == the feds).
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-02#1495076 << yer still thinking like a young fella, i.e. http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-11#1465891 ☝︎☝︎
gabriel_laddel: (am assuming I'd be able to ship in parts to BA, assemble them into machines and then take a ferry and sell in MTV)
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Speaking of which, why is it so difficult to get 'stuff' into BA? If I wanted to ship in a bunch of computer parts and undercut the Uruguay competition (computers reportedly cost 2x what they do in the states because ??) the issues would be what exactly?
