mircea_popescu: i still play heroes 2 to this day
B0g4r7: I much prefer to play Zelda or similar.
mircea_popescu: i think i played some nude/porn mod for it for 5 minutes
B0g4r7: Rockstar Studios, makers of GTA, Manhunt, and other fucked-up titles.
thestringpuller: but they built a lot of stuff in house that likely sells for quite a bit
B0g4r7: I'll bet a lot of Rockstar's success can be attributed to slick marketing.
thestringpuller: once you make one and you own the studio
thestringpuller: i'm talking about a game to compete with Rockstar mang
mircea_popescu: meh. that teppy guy made a game, it looks pretty grim.
thestringpuller: or lets make a game then*
thestringpuller: lets make a bet then
mircea_popescu: games are some of the most complex projects
mircea_popescu: <thestringpuller> so your base expense is like like what 32000 a month? << that's 2k btc. no big deal.

jurov: i just got an information "amir is going to organize another bitcoin conference"
mircea_popescu: <B0g4r7> The only external review was one "security audit" of some sensitive code. << this is exactly it tho
thestringpuller: you'd need like 4 of those
thestringpuller: so the most credible programmer I know atm writes compilers
B0g4r7: Internally, on the other hand, every single commit got peer-reviewed, and went through rounds of revisions if recommended, before being merged into Trunk.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i feel as though this would be best suited for smaller projects
thestringpuller: i feel like your target market would be financial firms who connect to the banks
B0g4r7: That's how we did it at the software house.
thestringpuller: the thing about it is that most code review for large projects is done in house no?
thestringpuller: a business that creates sustainable value will have recurring revenue to show for it
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller have you seen the http://trilema.com/2012/probably-the-hottest-business-idea-of-the-moment-in-btc/ ?
thestringpuller: i mispoke, i forget I"m speaking to mr. rothbard and not mr. keynes (i kid), value creates income streams in which other people can access a job is merely trading time and some kind of skill to contribute to the business in exchange for access to the revenue stream
mircea_popescu: B0g4r7 yes, asuming that.
B0g4r7: Assuming they've not snorted it all.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: all I'm saying is that only a few businesses have sustainability and a sustainable income stream, you attract capital by creating jobs or creating "useful shit"
mircea_popescu: so they still have some cash, on the positive side.
B0g4r7: I also wonder how many worthless million-dollar masksets they've bought so far.
B0g4r7: I wonder what the BFL books look like. I understand they only caught up on FPGA orders long after they started taking asic money.
thestringpuller: but if nothing can be produced with the capital less people will be willing to invest
mircea_popescu: leaving alone that the two other asic troops came out with comparable news.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller if bfl actually croaks that'll be a valley of tears.
thestringpuller: which is the symptom of a dying business, or an abomination that is called a business
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: well glbse is akin to this asic nonsense, a lot of money just disappearing with nothing to show
PsychoticBoy: here in the west we puke on east european crap spewers
B0g4r7: There's a lot of that going around on the internets.
mircea_popescu: right. the principle is good, stick with it : if you have nothing intelligent to say stfu.
PsychoticBoy: 1 thing: FU
mircea_popescu: what did you have to say ?
mircea_popescu: seems to me you're doing it right now.
PsychoticBoy: but if that shit stirrer got nothing bright to say, then its better to say nothing
mircea_popescu: PsychoticBoy what's this about ?
PsychoticBoy: mircea could you asked that hooker of yours to quit crapping on forum threads since she/he/you are/is fucking annoying
mircea_popescu: nobody will ever want to invest in childish glbse-level bullcrap.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller depends a lot on what busienss and who runs them
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Which one was that? asicminer?
thestringpuller: however my concern is that as btc businesses grow, those business owners won't want to invest in other companies, due to the astronomical chance of losing money
thestringpuller: of the*
thestringpuller: well you will be the first the btc VC's
mircea_popescu: i think we're all working towards that.
thestringpuller: btc needs to be used for large payments and create some kind of cashflow climate
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: cash flow is a better term, albeit a great volume of capital flows through btc, most btc transactions are satoshi dice...
mircea_popescu: lol 4chan now takes btc
mircea_popescu: i'm curious actually when will mpex dividend payments outstrip mining revenue for that month
thestringpuller: but there are still no big revenue streams for btc
