BingoBoingo: Fuck, my gut says the year is 2014. I remember, can dig. My gut is also suggesting the
Vessenes Bitcoin Foundation with a low probability.
mircea_popescu: and yes, very much pre-tmsr times the lords were stuck with this "well we gotta cypherpunk, ie, pretend nothing can ever happens -- because if anything were to happen it's straight to
vessenes' scam foundation"
mircea_popescu: derp actually was dumb enough to cover for
vessenes/merck and the rest of the scammer band ?
mircea_popescu: o wait, and the whole shit is a miserable
vessenes spam domain trying to capitalize on underhanded c ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's an academy. it is very much
vessenes-style ; and always has been.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. A socialist funding organization. Been using that on qntra for the
Vessenes' scam since... forever?
mircea_popescu:
vessenes & merck level "bitcoin foundation" sort of fraud.
mircea_popescu: and a bunch of scammers running a faux foundation, also.
vessenes & merck et al
mircea_popescu: PeterL ask
vessenes and the merry friends/captains of industry/power rangers/etc
mircea_popescu: having a centralising pos a la
vessenes faux foundation on top of the broken process non-v, is a disaster.
pete_d_out: BingoBoingo that's not ridiculous like gavin averaging 100 btc per annum salary for the rest of his days, just as he did when
vessenes scam was peaking, isn't ridiculous
pete_dushenski: wasn't he involved with the
vessenes phoundation too ? or am i mixing him up with another beige derp
mircea_popescu: there's nothing remarkable about mtgox other than the facrt that merck, and
vessenes, and gavin and theymos and ver and who have you kept pushing it.
assbot: Logged on 16-12-2015 05:50:32; BingoBoingo: I'm pretty sure yall definitely have more money than the
Vessenes' Foundation nao

Vessenes' Foundation nao
☟︎ BingoBoingo: trinque: Anyways Matonis was involved in the
Vessenes Fundnation, pretty sure if he came he'd have to be ready to grovel and appologize for that personal failing of his.
mircea_popescu: i'm going to donate to him right after i'm done donating to
vessenes.
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 00:42:29; mircea_popescu: anyway, so i guess this is what the response to the b-a shattering of the
vessenes scamfoundation is, get the tardstalk retards together over in maryland to start over.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: biggest impediment to adoption, gavin,
vessenes, "professional" derps and so on.
Adlai wanted to create "
Vessenes Foundation Outlives Obama Administration"
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: lol @
vessenes. another cv bullet point eh

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> manages to go though that entire bullshit without once mentioning
vessenes and his criminal behaviour ? << Too be fair he got in with
Vessenes seemingly long gone
mircea_popescu: manages to go though that entire bullshit without once mentioning
vessenes and his criminal behaviour ?
mircea_popescu: once got called out on that, shed some bits (coinlab, anyone recall that ?) and moved to "worthy goals" (stioll not releasing any reports, because
vessenes, like all clueless idiots involved, thinks taint is a thing, and also thinks i don't know his addresses, because whatever, he's magically protected by nulandine)
BingoBoingo: sjsqd: Anyway the qntra thing can probably also help with some background on differences between the
Vessenes' foundation and the (dot)foundation
BingoBoingo: sjsqd: That foundation has never really had any transparency.
Vessenes birthed it in the shadows and snuck out the same way.
assbot: Logged on 03-03-2015 11:58:59; cazalla: fwiw,
vessenes' announcements that were once on bitcoinfoundation.org have been purged and only avail via archive.org now
cazalla: fwiw,
vessenes' announcements that were once on bitcoinfoundation.org have been purged and only avail via archive.org now
☟︎ cazalla: so when did
vessenes become involved in the foundation, from what i'm reading, it was gavin that floated and promoted the idea of it back in october 2011 (piecing together some history as suggested by.. who, i forget)
mircea_popescu: the overarching point there is that
vessenes' scam and the people hanging in -dev do not have the authority to either implement or discuss bitcoin forks.
adlai: actually if we go full anal, strunk & white specifically mentions that the plural of a singular ending in s includes an additional apostrophe+s, so it'd be «
Vessenes's »
BingoBoingo: how about: In the interest of the reference implementation being a robust solution that requires minimal trust of its peers, the header's only approach favored by the
Vessenes' foundation's forks' developers is being passed over in favor of actual solutions.
mircea_popescu: coderwill considering this is perhaps the 8th or 9th attempt, and all the previous ones monetized in the
vessenes manner (whitewashing services for scammers)...
thestringpuller: "Dear Mr.
Vessenes', You are a poop. Signed, mircea_popescu "
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: what's next, ima write letters to the
vessenes << Maybe it's because I have autism, but why would you write them letters when you can publicly condemn?
mircea_popescu: what's next, ima write letters to the
vessenes fake foundation about how their power rangers are fucking up bitcoin ?
davout: mircea_popescu: wrt point VIII : what would prevent bitpay from raising even more at an even higher valuation to keep supporting the
vessenes foundation circus?
mircea_popescu: just, it will work out my way. not mtgox's way, not pirate's way, not reddit's way or the forum's way or
vessenes' way
mircea_popescu: a hard fork that's not been ok'd by the bitcoin foundation (the real one, not
vessenes' scam) is automatically an issue fort the obvious reason :
mircea_popescu:
vessenes' outta dough, the rest of the scammers involved are barely solvent and burried under tons of lawsuits (karpeles, caleb, ver, kenna, you name it)
mircea_popescu: i don't know that
vessenes' happy scamfarm is or ever was involved in anything to do with standards.
BingoBoingo: I mean even matonis seems kind of repentant about getting hooked into playing with
Vessenes mircea_popescu: raving lunacy aside, there IS an excellent reason convicted mobsters in breach of the terms of their parole (vleisides, bfl) been supported by
vessenes's pseudo-foundation all through.
mircea_popescu: "why mp keep saying
vessenes be stealing!!!! mp is such bad!!!"
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo After Survery
Vessenes' Foundation "Pivots" << no wai!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and that's about as relevant to the people in the field as the "bitcoin (tm)" "
vessenes scam foundation" are relevant to bitcoin.
BingoBoingo: Because of course
Vessenes' foundation wants bigger blocks when its only surviving members that pay it need bigger blocks

mircea_popescu: after the "let's fork bitcoin for fun" and the "let's put heardbleed in your software" disasters, you'd have to be insane to run anything coming from
vessenes' merry band of scammers.
