shinohai shinohai has krusty
tardstalk account
mircea_popescu: back in the
tardstalk glory days of 2012 it was "because competition!!!", but by now that nonsensical coverup has been disposed with.
mircea_popescu: considering a large part of the historical beef with
tardstalk was over mismanagement of shitposting rights for idiots, the adventure of r/bitcoin is not particularly encouraging.
mircea_popescu: you're dicking around on
tardstalk etc anyway, might as fucking well sit down and write something that'll be useful later.
mircea_popescu: dawg. you're seriously spending your time sifting through
tardstalk to support a minor point of dubiously more value than the cost of a log line ?
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic you can plead ignorance all you want. lalala check me out, i'm going to pretend like this doesn't exist and here's
tardstalk, seriously. then if you get whacked for it play the victim ? get fucked already, this isn't how it's played.
shinohai:
tardstalk looks like Filipinos came in and took a giant sig-spam shit everywhere.
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu: hey, indeed I tremendously overestimated
tardstalk deedbot: mircea_popescu updated rating of Apocalyptic from 2 to -1 << ex tmsr, currently
tardstalk. apparently sense sometimes fails to take.
mircea_popescu: $rate Apocalyptic -1 ex tmsr, currently
tardstalk. apparently sense sometimes fails to take.
mircea_popescu: shinohai gaw fallout innit ? the same fucktards who were importantly commenting on websites, rettardit,
tardstalk, what have you and "feeling like a trader/investor/capitalist" for a year or so.
shinohai: I only spoke with him a few times, but he seemed ok. Twas reading on
tardstalk where someone doxed him over a 5 BTC loan or something.
mircea_popescu: uh i don't recall where specifically.
tardstalk prolly. or reddit/twitter/whatever.
mircea_popescu: the national bank of quatar is marginally qualified to serve street kebap. in a year or two they may get their game up to where they can make a
tardstalk account and not seem out-of-place idiotic.
mircea_popescu: back in 2000, there was no fucking way to know shit existed. today, not knowing shit exists means you're from india or
tardstalk or something.
mircea_popescu: how do you perceive what he did (hurr durr i'm going to be a business) is different from average
tardstalk forumite (hurr durr i'm going to be an exchange) ?
mircea_popescu: really... could we conduct the nutso convention on
tardstalk, reddit or whatever usual venue ?
mircea_popescu: and in random
tardstalk craft, "Stop posting that I am a scam or it is simple I can have my lawyer visit your site and send you a size and assist letter not to be slandering."
mircea_popescu: this is like throwing away the summaries in confusion and reading the original
tardstalk text plain just to see. i have the exact same feeling - these people are uniquely stupid. what the fuck did teh education do for them again ?!
mircea_popescu: lol so the redditard/
tardstalk/whatever idiot parade settled on "we know better than mp because random derp said we do" ?
mircea_popescu: brace yourself, while derps derped on
tardstalk etc, a LOT of work went on towards actual bitcoin, and so there's a lot of catch up to do.
mircea_popescu: no bro he got mad skills from watching the nature channel. just like all the other
tardstalk ceobusinessmen
mircea_popescu: anyway, diablo-d3 is a guy that did some work on one of the earliest independent miners (ie, gpu based not cpu based like the origian client), then followed up with a lulzy explosion at
tardstalk over his plan to collect 1mn btc which "the community" owed him, and then use it to build some fantastic datacenter-cum-powerplant altogether reminescent of
http://trilema.com/2010/moment-de-visare/ mircea_popescu: thestringpuller / shinohai / whoever has a
tardstalk acct, plox let 'em know too kthx.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> whatever did happen to bitcointa.lk << the guy had a good idea back when a few people still thought
tardstalk might possibily matter. that was... well over a year ago.
mircea_popescu: yes, a sane power ranger would have quit back in 2013, when mpoe-pr published that post on
tardstalk.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently some guy trying to inform the
tardstalk ?
mircea_popescu: "The question I have is why do we have to learn about it through guesswork, aren't miners themselves interested in Bitcoin being a reliable payment system?" aka "why don't people in bitcoin give a shit about people on reddit/github/
tardstalk"
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to think "oh, there's nothing special about reddit/
tardstalk/whatever. they're all like that."
shinohai: can confirm, a bot on
tardstalk yields gems
mircea_popescu: incidentally, this is SO
tardstalk/altcoinforum/reddit/whathaveyou it bleeds.
gernika: pete_dushenski sadly unfamiliar with their work. I totally missed out on the
tardstalk madness.
mircea_popescu: gotta love
tardstalk. almost as good as washington post, in that it's not merely written by retards,
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: 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: is this some sort of ploy to drum up interest for
tardstalk forum ?
pete_dushenski: "First two (DVD, CD) are used and play fine, 2nd two are sealed new (all DVDs). for each before shipping, and a $60 donation for each will be made to this pro-civil rights coalition that Zooey Deschanel, Nancy Sinatra, Michael Moore, and Joel McHale all oppose." << y'know, this could only work on
tardstalk mircea_popescu: must be in backwards world, this magical place where "official replies" go to reddit and
tardstalk.
mircea_popescu: and so on and so forth, gavin's spoken to "economists" that agree with him except meanwhile they turn out to not exist and he has the support of business except all that business can't get a hundred bitcoin together. in which sense, it is obviously a subsection of the
tardstalk forum - those guys got like 1k together to give marquardt so he could leave council housing.
mircea_popescu: lobbes lol necroposting on
tardstalk ? i imagine it as this cinematic moment, where the current crop of retards meets the previous crop of identical retards and has an identity wtf moment.
mircea_popescu: bwahahaha wait, there's derps actually writing on
tardstalk like all seriously and naively and whatnot ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform those forums... sorta
tardstalk before the bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo pity it's the same 2-3 derps that keep pushing it. i recall some goon or other was having fun with them on
tardstalk last year. "really, it's not mps fault X scammer touched you"
mircea_popescu: this is like... the frist time i saw something intelligent on
tardstalk in... years ?!
mircea_popescu: lol "bitcoin university". best thing that ever happened to any diploma mill : when the webmaster stumbled on
tardstalk/redditards den and added "bitcoin" to the name
cazalla: ah i just found those ones on the
tardstalk forum
mircea_popescu: it just... it's not even bitcointalk level. if these people were fired tomorrow, not all of them would qualify to write ranty nonsensical posts on
tardstalk in defense of an entrepreneurial artisan woodcarver or w/e.
cazalla: oops, forget to remove
tardstalk from that one (have a longer list with other non news sites)
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> jurov: z80 is closer to teletype than to any modern cpu << again nope. here's a suggested exercise for everyone: take the z80 (find a die shot or whatever) and zoom it out to make the transistors discrete. how much physical space will this occupy? how many tonnes of copper wire? how many hundreds kWatt of power used? for chillers? << Sometime in 2013 on
Tardstalk to celebrate advent of the "ASIC Age" I drunkenly pr
mircea_popescu: anyway, if anyone's curious as to how exactly stuff like reddit or
tardstalk work, here's a blow by blow, by a guy in the know :
mircea_popescu: "Nos primórdios, minha fonte principal de notícias sobre Bitcoin era o Bitcointalk Forum. Mas eu cansei de lá." << first off, my principal source of news on bitcoin was teh
tardstalk forum. i got sick of it.
hanbot: BingoBoingo actually it's rather suspect, there being only the one extant link of that bitcoin magazine drama left @
tardstalk.
mircea_popescu: anyway, what discussion, flavour of the week
tardstalk scam
mircea_popescu: shit, let's do a cold fusion and circle cvadrature bounty on
tardstalk!
danielpbarron: I picked up some funny negative ratings in the
tardstalk WoT over the woodcollector scam
mircea_popescu: so the
tardstalk schmucks were going around acting as if this utter bum is somehow a businessman.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: what a useless discussion of trust <<< that's what fucking happens with noobs ALL THE DAMNED TIME. But they know better! But why won't people who do thinks professionally consider their input! But amateurism is a do-ocracy! But reasons! But considerations! But he's not read five years of
tardstalk so five years of
tardstalk has never happened. Let's do it again!
mircea_popescu: davout wait, wasn't
tardstalk run on a newly made software by some one-guy company that got paid half a trillion dollars for that ?
cazalla: can't remember my
tardstalk account pwd
mircea_popescu: decimation here's the thing with scammers, in bitcoin or otherwise : to the chump, a "claim" is worth as much as it can be pretended into being worth. and so, to chump-germany or to random
tardstalk "investor", it is actually better to credit the scammer ("oh, they'll repay eventually) than to enforce the loss.
decimation: wait, are you using
tardstalk to refer to the bitcoin forum or the wall street newspapers
mircea_popescu: anyway, the lulziest part was all the inept
tardstalk-level shilling, "o noes apple is not overvalued"
mircea_popescu: <decimation> mircea_popescu: "all through 2015 we will be seeing a shitton of 50-somethings with so-so credentrials going all weirdo on bitcoin." << no they just realize that bitcoin == no free money for 'retirement' << the problem there is that they actually DID work, and should have some money. problem is, in typical
tardstalk fashion, they got scammed and having nothing left, are now siding with the scammer.
mircea_popescu: chumpatronics at its finest, "we would like a list of rich people interested in bitcoin, mind sending us a signed form ?" / "hey, USMS can implement
tardstalk scam actions too! We even hired Garr as an expert consultant"
RagnarDanneskjol: indeed.. still, so much more could be said on the topic - and old one lives on
tardstalk
