mircea_popescu: you will have to learn to live with competition.
LameCoin-: i really dont like these alternates like litecoin inflating the money supply
mircea_popescu: but not really. the burried problems that caused the fork however most definitely will end btcoin if unadressed.
mircea_popescu: LameCoin- that fork itself could have festered if anyone ddosed the attacking pool.
LameCoin-: mircea: do you think that fork could have been the end of bitcoin?
Ukto: the top bar spans 2 lines and covers it

benkay: (i just told them i could block out high dB convserations or music but not both)

mircea_popescu: turkey in the straw if you count it
benkay: ruin my train trip why doncha
benkay: i know that and i'm not even holding any
BitHub: good time to sell then
dub: catfriedrice said next weeks will fullfil the 'pay out 0.1 first' requirement, which seems about right, so next divs will be half less more expenses
Luke-Jr: BitHub: I'm mainly going there to make sure BFGMiner is ready to go (shipping on the MiniRigs)
dub: of this magnitude
dub: yeah, enjoy, next week is the last
BitHub: this weeks seemed the highest yet
dub: BitHub: yes re: AM div btw (sorry for the on-topic interlude people)
BitHub: so you'll pretty much be teh first person with a bfl?
BitHub: are you kind of going there to confirm it all?
mircea_popescu: actually just the time to get a box of fans.
Luke-Jr: although I guess they might be expecting me to take it with me
Luke-Jr: BitHub: not sure if I'll pick it up or let them ship it
BitHub: ahhh Luke, going there to pick it up?
benkay: has anything in this conversation?
Luke-Jr: midnightmagic: I don't see it as something worth my time arguing a case for.
Luke-Jr: midnightmagic: I got that, but .. why did it matter? XD
midnightmagic: Luke-Jr: I also proffered the possibility you didn't want your name up there on purpose, to outline our collective ignorance.
mircea_popescu: ie, the floor washer.
mircea_popescu: when you're a sort of glorified taaki
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr he's somehow bothered with everyone mocking you for trying your damnest to pass yourself off as a dev
jurov: Luke-Jr: don't sweat, me too, he sounds serious but in the end it's all just hypothetical
midnightmagic: Luke-Jr: I was just asserting that the amount of work you do in bitcoind essentially makes you a bitcoin developer, even if your name isn't on bitcoin.org.
Luke-Jr: midnightmagic: I didn't understand the context :P
benkay: less than or equal to
mircea_popescu: benkay anyway the effort is to make sure it's 1.
mircea_popescu: well that's unfortunate for them because i happen to be better at politics than they're at coding.
midnightmagic: Gah.. dude.. your weird sayings aren't translating so well.
benkay: that's just politics though
mircea_popescu: in an ultimately doomed effort to prop the dirt as respectable.
benkay: how many times do you think they can pull it off?
mircea_popescu: stalin said "everyone vote" and evertyone did. what democratic process is this ?
midnightmagic: Aumann's agreement theorem I guess.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic that dispute as to reality will have to come to my grave.
mircea_popescu: benkay do you know how the most recent fork was resolved ?
mircea_popescu: and on a related point, you don't go to heaven by never saying "jesus sucks" etiher.
mircea_popescu: people who lie by presenting the mining corruption as "consensus", they are being uncivil.
mircea_popescu: being civil is not a formal concern. it does NOT mean not calling people idiots. if indeed they are idiots then that's that, verity proof.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I assert you are, have been, and will likely continue to be uncivil and discourteous.
mircea_popescu: you know, girl wants to get married. after tears have washed pointlessly about the room, her new line becomes "why are you affraid of commitment"
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I am not afraid to be civil. Why are you?
jurov: midnightmagic, so there was not the case in the past? what is the problem then?
mircea_popescu: just so, it'd seem to me, you've been told how to identify independent thought, and what great evil it is, and now when you discover it in the actual world you immediately jump to the conclusion tis evil.
midnightmagic: jurov: I dunno actual names. It's irrelevant to the point.
mircea_popescu: you are bound to misbehave wehn confronted with actual black people.
midnightmagic: jurov: Your English still needs work. My verb tense in context was indicative of that-which-happens-from-here-on.
mircea_popescu: if you spend your childhood living among white people, abnd being told niggers are to be identified by x y z and they do k l m things,
jurov: Or the "reasonable people" that would be supportng him "if..."
mircea_popescu: i am getting at this :
jurov: Either the "reaging idiots" who supposedly are attracted to mp
midnightmagic: jurov: Still the rhetorical master I see.
mircea_popescu: seriously midnightmagic, i think you're abstracting your past history of interaction with who knows who and painting it on me.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic i have trouble when people talk back ?!
jurov: midnightmagic you revealed your gaping incompetence in this area then
midnightmagic: jurov: I'm not. He says so all the time. Perhaps you should take benkay's advice.
jurov: midnightmagic you think writing spec from code is work for mokyes?
midnightmagic: I know you have trouble when people talk back to you and all, but geez man. At a certain point, don't let the concorde fallacy trap you into pursuing a dead end.
mircea_popescu: so then what are we talkin' about.
midnightmagic: I am not interested in working on that project, if you are offering me a job.
mircea_popescu: so i'm takingthat as a sort of up and down and all about no.
midnightmagic: As you are so fond of saying, hire the braindead monkeys who can do it *for* you for the peanuts you say they're worth, and have them do it.
mircea_popescu: do you want to summarize bitcoin code ?
