mgio_: it just seems to all gone to sh*t recently
mgio_: don't get me wrong, i've still done very very well off of bitcoin (and some securities)
dexx: i hope it didn't break you, mgio_
danielpbarron: yeah but they haven't been implemented in many wallet programs yet
mgio_: and won't even tell us why he won't tell us
mgio_: they didn't
mgio_: Neo & bee wasn't necessarily, but they aren't too very well right now
danielpbarron: i read one this morning about a noob who didn't realize he was shorting bitcoin.... right before the price spike......
danielpbarron: there are still places to invest bitcoin that aren't scams.. they just aren't begging for investors
mgio_: im shocked that people still invest at all anymore. if you couldn't trust the exchange with your money (bitfunder) then how could you trust any of the securities it was peddling?
dexx: mgio_: i didn't expect it either
mgio_: they wouldn't give me much information other than there was an ongoing investigation
danielpbarron: I wouldn't talk to them
bounce: 'twas .com and .net, IIRC. those aren't supposed to be ".us", it was just that the registrar is conveniently a us company
nubbins`: doesn't quite matter how good your left hook is, y'know?
pankkake: TPB isn't such a high profile target anymore too
pankkake: I don't think there's new stuff
nubbins`: mircea_popescu "if you don't have enough toilet paper feel free to use the barrel of this rifle"
nubbins`: mircea_popescu trying things isn't required. i have a CS degree even though i only made two working programs during the course of my degree
nubbins`: mircea_popescu the true horror of this situation won't be realized for another few decades
pankkake: it's not that they don't have the funds, I've offered very small bets. it's that they don't even believe themselves
mircea_popescu: the incidental that they can't afford food anyway notwithstanding
pankkake: yeah but the tough bitcointalk guys don't bet
pLambert: I don't think they allow bets about people getting hurt or killed?
TomServo: Didn't that actually happen?
dexx: isn't this your website? and nvm: it's back up for me now
bounce apparently (well, generally ignoring the drama over there) haven't kept up enough to see that
mircea_popescu: that's it, you can't have electricity anymore either.
mircea_popescu: but seriously, i tell you you can't have a new car and you close down the fucking parks in response ?
pLambert: promises? you mean the things Obama said he would do, and then didn't do even though he clearly has the authority to do them already?
mircea_popescu: obviously clueless kids left to reproduce irl the emperor of flies circus going on in their head wouldn't know about it.
asciilifeform: this is one of those things where i can't help but think that anyone who pays for it - deserves what he gets
pLambert: isn't that how irc is supposed to work?
Urushiol: I believe it's in the prospectus, no? It was months ago that I read it last so I can't recall for certain.
Urushiol: mircea_popescu: it would require coding specialists mostly, which we have already. just get volume for each fund in that time frame and apply HIF's percentage returns. I haven't finished my Python quite yet, otherwise I would attack it.
pLambert: asciilifeform: I don't think you can just take volume, who knows how much they will take out for expenses?
asciilifeform: and not only signature, but small bits of encryption as well. anyone who doesn't grasp this mustn't wait, but open a textbook and work out what happens if you rsa a small bit of whatever, without padding.
Urushiol: mircea_popescu: what I find particularly surprising is that it wasn't calculated by the community already, given volume is available through the API
mike_c: asciilifeform: i believe i've heard you talk about this before, but i can't remember the specifics. If I generated and published say 20,000 adddresses out of a single wallet do you think I am leaking anything that would significantly hurt the security of that wallet?
mircea_popescu: well how am i going to explain that if you don't know the play ;/
pankkake: http://i.imgur.com/h5xi9KL.jpg too bad I can't change my avatar
pLambert: I don't follow?
mircea_popescu: pLambert odd. nah link shouldn't have affected nuttin
pLambert: hmm, not sure why it didn't work before, I had follwed a link out of the -asset logs, would that affect anything?
antephialtic: well I don't think paul will get nominated so it doesn't matter. I like paul as much as the next guy, but the big money republicans don't like him even if the tea party libertarian set does
pLambert: I don't think Paul is going to pick a VP who has a record of calling him a "wacko bird"
antephialtic: nah, clinton won't want someone who will make her look conservative in comparison
jurov: i don't remember any captcha, just retrying usually works
pLambert: reloaded, still don't see any captcha
pLambert: I don't see any captcha, oh well, I guess you will never see my deeply insightful comment :(
pLambert: hmm, didn't see a captcha
surfcapmgmt: !t h COG
surfcapmgmt: !t h AM1
kakobrekla: !t h cog
mircea_popescu: the schmuck that doesn't drink or have fun so his friends can have sex they don't then have to account for.
bounce: no convicts -> empty jails. doesn't appear to be a goal of the system. though it could be, I'll give you that. though not in a country where the culture prescribes conflicts must be about people. a conviction is an outcome of such a conflict.
bounce: aaron schwarz is a good illustration where the DoJ deliberately went for it only it backfired. though apparently hasn't backfired enough.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but this doesn;t work for your arghument, it works against it.
bounce: wasn't it "a few good men" where the hot shot lawyer guy urged to keep the nigger because of his nicely shined shoes?
bounce: I don't really see a difference here, except much less continuity
asciilifeform: ended in a mistrial, and the next set of jury chumpers naturally won't be told anything, everyone pretends the 1st go never happened, etc.
turbo_ac100: mike_c: well for the first one it seems reasonable to me. Maybe because I don't know too much about WOT :P
ozbot: t.A.T.u. - Yugoslavia - YouTube
nubbins`: things you don't see here
nubbins`: sorry, t.A.T.u.
mircea_popescu: seeing how crackheads aren't so bad, and that'd seem the next ogical step
rithm: your legs are strong, and you're so, so long and you don't come from this town
nubbins`: aha! so remember those shit plastisol inks that were "donated" to us, and were unusable, and the dump wouldn't take?
nubbins`: pink eye didn't pay out a dime in wages for our first 2 years
nubbins`: was just gonna say, nsa/mg are the only btc corps i can think of that didn't immediately blow their fuckin wad on salaries
nubbins`: there's something nice about watching a movie in a language you don't understand, though
nubbins`: this is why i don't re-watch movies i enjoyed as a kid
antephialtic: whoops, didn't see someone had already posted
asciilifeform: photo doesn't prove that a widget functions as promised.
asciilifeform: to be fair, i understand why skeptics don't care much for photos now.
mircea_popescu: tho you really don't deserve it.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla some reddit derps took mpex contracts, threw out most of the good bits [they didn';t understood] and "branded it"
pankkake: oh that's where the "Neo&Bee only failed because it wasn't a DAC." is from
mircea_popescu: "Don't wear some booty shorts that make your butt hang out, low cut shirts, really tight clothing, or sheer clothing. Hanging all your stuff out isn't cute, it's gross. Be modest."
nubbins`: altho TBF if you're not naturally confident, faking it ain't gonna work
mircea_popescu: "our city dump is already overfull. we can't dump no dollar"
antephialtic: "Neo&Bee only failed because it wasn't a DAC."
nubbins`: thestringpuller: "What is replacing the dollar in these U.S. cities and companies? Watch this fuckin video to find out because we can't be bothered to just tell you"
pankkake: lol, no haven't seen
BingoBoingo: Also text doesn't convey the judge's drunk sluring
nubbins`: always wondered why they don't keep voice recordings
BingoBoingo: Maybe institute a bezzel where your "insurer" won't let you organic, because moths
nubbins`: man. i've been trying to order medium black organic t-shirts for like a fuckin month
nubbins`: still. they wouldn't let you into the airport for £100 here
asciilifeform: 'they're eating it, why shouldn't we'
mircea_popescu: "you delayed me. pay up. you didn't pay up of your own accord. here's my lawyer. pay him too."
mircea_popescu: <antephialtic> asciilifeform: chain fork that happened << it didn't "happen". mike hearn manufactured it.
antephialtic: mircea_popescu: I respect you. But I don't see you committing patches and fixing bugs. It's dirty work, but somebody has to do it.
mircea_popescu: you really don't want to go into utility. so far the pretend-core devs are a liability overall.
antephialtic: mircea_popescu: w.r.t. to owning the hashpower, it is clear that the most effective way to launder the proceeds of some crime through bitcoin is to purchase mining hardware with the dirty cash
mircea_popescu: she on the right matters. they on the left don't even exist.
mircea_popescu: aren't the girls on the left just as hot as the one on the right ?
mircea_popescu: i can't discuss the impossible tho, because anything can be logically derived from nonsense.
mircea_popescu: up to a threshold. then it doesn't really matter
mircea_popescu: so in your terms "if you think it is or you think it isn't, so what ?"
