mircea_popescu: what'd be better tho ?!

mircea_popescu: bitbin needs to auto-wordwrap

mircea_popescu: who the hell is buing these ?!

mircea_popescu: yea, i want to meet these people.

mircea_popescu: i want to like... go to their garden parties and be introduced to their wives.

mircea_popescu: not necessarily, i think they'd be more amusing than rich.

mircea_popescu: o wow 11

mircea_popescu: which ?

mircea_popescu: o. well just 1-2 units,

mircea_popescu: ;;ticker

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i don't understand it either

mircea_popescu: wasn't this the failed kronos.io/jro etc ?

mircea_popescu: but it was the bond that was supposed to finance the kronos thing neh ?

mircea_popescu: <BTC-Mining> That or each time one fails, someone else pop ups with that thought: "I don't know squat about security or even understand the concept of it, but SURELY if I make a platform it will be 100% better and secure because I made it instead of grossly incompetent people. I'm FLAWLESS." <<< this.

mircea_popescu: this is really the root cause.

mircea_popescu: the internet generation is possibly the most failed, fucked up, loser-y thing in the history of civilisation.

mircea_popescu: were you born after 1990 ?!

mircea_popescu: suck dude.

mircea_popescu: sucks*

mircea_popescu: are ye kidding ? the internet is strictly an old men affair.

mircea_popescu: i haven't actually seen the movie, but i did get you were referring.

mircea_popescu: jcpham rule ? as in, make most noise ?

mircea_popescu: resolve ito integrals ?

mircea_popescu: no strength in numbers.

mircea_popescu: the internet is exactly the temple of, strenght in knowledge.

mircea_popescu: always.

mircea_popescu: i hold the passwords to many sites. all of them have users, some very many users

mircea_popescu: if i feel like replacing them with a fuck you poster, i do.

mircea_popescu: they can like it or not, fuckall matters.

mircea_popescu: internet is all about the power of one over all.

mircea_popescu: http://polimedia.us/dtng/c/ << better than 4chan

mircea_popescu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQXVHITd1N4

mircea_popescu: this is just as good :D

mircea_popescu: ya

mircea_popescu: .py 38250*0.00336000 + 100000*0.00335100 + 15000*0.00335000 + 365300*0.00332500 + 107256*0.00330000 + 66687*0.00320000

mircea_popescu: lol. everyone wants a deal.

mircea_popescu: aite.

mircea_popescu: maximian http://trilema.com/2012/volumul-tranzactiilor-pe-mpex/

mircea_popescu: yw.

mircea_popescu: 8% in about... a week

mircea_popescu: lmao there's a new pirate.

mircea_popescu: rdponticelli nah, all you have is ticker.

mircea_popescu: !ticker s.dice

mircea_popescu: o wow, 2k today eh ?

mircea_popescu: i guess dividends got people in gear.

mircea_popescu: and eleven it is.

mircea_popescu: jesus

mircea_popescu: !ticker gigamining

mircea_popescu: !ticker f.giga.etf

mircea_popescu: ;;seen gigavps

mircea_popescu: right. guy's asset is going to shit he can't be bothered to come by. this looks great.

mircea_popescu: hum

mircea_popescu: well... but wtf is going on

mircea_popescu: i have this queasy feeling there's more to this than i know

mircea_popescu: hm

mircea_popescu: !ticker asicminer

mircea_popescu: that thing also lost a good 30%

mircea_popescu: and 100 btc is a joke for volume anyway.

mircea_popescu: was trading at 1.5ish a week ago

mircea_popescu: point being : money can't flow from gigamining into asicminer if that later is shedding

mircea_popescu: neither the volume comparison or price evolution supports this theory.

mircea_popescu: i could see money flowing out of glbse period as an explanation, which'd make plenty of sense, except giga.etf is geting beat up even worse on mpex

mircea_popescu: i still think it's a very risky proposition. but yea, if they come out with anything definite it might boom

mircea_popescu: yeah, that.

mircea_popescu: we jixed it.

mircea_popescu: !ticker s.dice

mircea_popescu: ;;tslb

mircea_popescu: what is

mircea_popescu: o, you talking about wright and his bets ?

mircea_popescu: trying to keep track of that is about as futile as keeping track of the us debt.

mircea_popescu: who's that ?

mircea_popescu: in escrow ?

mircea_popescu: so basically this'd be more irrelevant forum sillyness.

mircea_popescu: well as long as we call it that, cool.

mircea_popescu: so...

mircea_popescu: it still is just drama, the guy's broke, irl and btc.

mircea_popescu: Because he has the existential dilemma of accepting your bet and not paying you when he loses, or not accepting your bet and still not paying.

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: EB250 it is not important.

mircea_popescu: it basically consists of a dozen or so kids trying to pretend they're entrepreneurs while living under the poverty line

mircea_popescu: couch surfing in a room somewhere.

mircea_popescu: EB250 no, not like me.

mircea_popescu: quite the opposite of me.

mircea_popescu: PAPASO hello

mircea_popescu: o it does.

mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining yea, and they'll do what ? whine at each other for half hour ? youtube is full of that crap.

mircea_popescu: usually with teenage girls in it.

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: why do you need kleopatra ?

mircea_popescu: sigh. PAPASO, we went through all of this. read the log, please.

mircea_popescu: you just need gpg.

mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining yeah, once you know what you're doing you can do whatever you want.

mircea_popescu: but if we have a process to get you started you stick to that, improve on it once you master it.

mircea_popescu: there's a py script and a perl script for mpex too, just...

mircea_popescu: <EB250> PAPASO: why do you need pgp4win? <<< "Trying to be part of a cryptocurrency without knowing how to use gpg is like trying to be part of the 60s without knowing how to use a bong."

mircea_popescu: ponzi.

mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 actually i shudder at the thought it's not even the 8th yet.

mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 it's the arbitrary date set by the chief forum muppet to not pay imaginary bets he's not made.

mircea_popescu: yeah...

mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 i don't know.

mircea_popescu: but you can't say some broke dude "made a bet" by saying something on a forum. you need money to make bets.

mircea_popescu: you could in principle make a bet by simple statement, if you have any credit.

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: you know wright, the guy who took money from bitcoinica to shill it, the guy who took money from jro to shill that crap, the guy who sold people advertising in magazines that don't exist, as well as the magazines themselves ?

mircea_popescu: he's been "making bets" with people about pirate paying (prolly cause pirate threw him 20 btc early on or w/e)

mircea_popescu: except he's been consistently refusing to use escrow.

mircea_popescu: well... so you're way behind.

mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 i have no ideea ?! kakobrekla 9th iirc.

mircea_popescu: papaso nope.

mircea_popescu: man, secret-key means secret key.

mircea_popescu: you need the public key not the secret key.

mircea_popescu: the secret key should be kept SECRET

mircea_popescu: papaso http://polimedia.us/bitcoin/faq.html#6 read that list, do the steps exactly as described in the exact order.

mircea_popescu: do nothing else and do nothing differently in any respect, but EXACTLY what's there.

mircea_popescu: papaso to extract your public key the command is gpg --armor --output pubkey.txt --export '0EB31D5E'

mircea_popescu: it will create a file called pubkey.txt with your public key in it.

mircea_popescu: i don't have msn but you don't need msn to show me your pic. you can just upload it to any public service and paste link here.

mircea_popescu: hmm...

mircea_popescu: you might be the only one.

mircea_popescu: ya, isn't this weird ? no chinese people in bitcoin-assets ? they own most of the us by now and yet...

mircea_popescu: aha

mircea_popescu: link to exchange ?

mircea_popescu: really ?!

mircea_popescu: warrants are similar tho

mircea_popescu: aha

mircea_popescu: are you from hk ?

mircea_popescu: well... i am planning to have a chinese translation of the faq.

mircea_popescu: aha

mircea_popescu: me too.

mircea_popescu: and also has about 5x the volume of the global scam exchange the forum muppets keep trying to hawk.

mircea_popescu: EB250 you are probably an idiot.

mircea_popescu: !ticker s.dice

mircea_popescu: !ticker gsdpt

mircea_popescu: o wait, global scam exchange has useless data.

mircea_popescu: .py 13628.63/1827.409

mircea_popescu: there. 7.5%

mircea_popescu: is that clear to you ?

mircea_popescu: mkay. two idiocies in one day are good enough. move along to -otc, this chan is intended for people that actually matter.

mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi i thought we went through this before : you do, i don't.

mircea_popescu: no, but you have shitty/scammy assets on the global scam exchange

mircea_popescu: and push them back and forth to create the illusion of volume.

mircea_popescu: no it won't, you get it free.

mircea_popescu: i know all about your little bs circlejerk there, so spare me.

mircea_popescu: and when you're done making a fool of yourself, your so called mining operation could still use a fucking pic of the gear.

mircea_popescu: which people have been asking for... i dunno, 6 months by now ?

mircea_popescu: DeaDTerra1 what's hk ?

mircea_popescu: DeaDTerra1 i'll pay you 50 cents to the dollar, limited to 100 btc each.

mircea_popescu: http://news.yahoo.com/judge-says-10-rare-gold-coins-worth-80-152750965--abc-news-topstories.html

mircea_popescu: govt steals some more gold.

mircea_popescu: define insured blazing

mircea_popescu: pirate association.

mircea_popescu: hence the 50 cents to the dollar offer. maybe it's just a liquidity squeeze.

mircea_popescu: tho anyone with any sense would have moved preemptively for weeks now.

mircea_popescu: blazing decent is only half the problem in this discussion tho.

mircea_popescu: btc today reminds me of usd in 2007

mircea_popescu: in the end, people will have to book something like 6-700k of losses/unrealised gains.

mircea_popescu: which obviously i said they should have been booked by late august, and obviously everyone said they did so, and obviously nobody did. and so forth.

mircea_popescu: i guess pretty much everyone is.

mircea_popescu: why does that matter blazing ?

mircea_popescu: ya well, it's what happens when people give a lot of money to ponzi scammers.

mircea_popescu: the economy gets a little shocked.

mircea_popescu: coupla hundred i guess ?

mircea_popescu: gabbynot not quite exactly. someone was trying to unload some exposure.

mircea_popescu: lmao that little shit usagi defaulting now ?

mircea_popescu: jesus god, it took two days of ignore lalala.

mircea_popescu: well... i see a bidwall at 1.0 on nyan.a atm

mircea_popescu: that's not quite moving

mircea_popescu: so i guess...

mircea_popescu: yaya.

mircea_popescu: !ticker nyan.a

mircea_popescu: i see .94/1.0 on the supposed safest asset.

mircea_popescu: which is paying like 1% in a coupla days, right ?

mircea_popescu: DeaDTerra1 no, not everyone. you're lucky you got on mpex.

mircea_popescu: where nobody's defaulting.

mircea_popescu: lmao

mircea_popescu: i thought it was already ?

mircea_popescu: maybe i just called it early ? :D

mircea_popescu: DeaDTerra1 maybe so yea

mircea_popescu: fuck you rg

mircea_popescu: i'll come after you with a gun.

mircea_popescu: ha!

mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=106391.0 if anyone feels like a good read.

mircea_popescu: why tungsten ?

mircea_popescu: so tell him

mircea_popescu: o hey, pirate paid out!

mircea_popescu: it's just my favourite joke for now. i think it may last me a decade.

mircea_popescu: my last favourite joke was "Hey, Carter got reelected!"

mircea_popescu: http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg255/scaled.php?server=255&filename=sorrymario1.png&res=landing

mircea_popescu: ahaah thats good

mircea_popescu: http://www.mememaker.net/static/images/memes/657000.jpg lol. teh truths.

mircea_popescu: bad code.

mircea_popescu: is this theory that pirate just fronted for zeekrewards anything more than just forum nuttery ?

mircea_popescu: http://www.forbes.com/sites/halahtouryalai/2012/08/22/zeekrewards-handed-over-to-receiver-whats-next-for-investors/ this thing

mircea_popescu: i don't think you can find anyone who thinks so.

mircea_popescu: rdponticelli there seems to be some timing fit.

mircea_popescu: ofcourse... may well be coincidence.

mircea_popescu: anyway the people that keep going "he owed 500k so he ran off with 500k" really make me chuckle.

mircea_popescu: ponzis collapse with something between 10 and .3%ish of what they owe left in cash

mircea_popescu: he prolly had 10-20k tops.

mircea_popescu: Hash, could you check this - Withdrawal 2012-09-03 08:41:40 1...... 20 btc Pending?

mircea_popescu: this looks pretty damned bad.

mircea_popescu: four days ? srsly ?

mircea_popescu: lol jcpham

mircea_popescu: copumpkin http://polimedia.us/dtng/c/src/134055426552.jpg

mircea_popescu: be sociable dood.

mircea_popescu: "I’m going back to the frozen north, where the pricks are hard and strong:

mircea_popescu: back to the land of the all-night stand-where the nights are six months long.

mircea_popescu: Where you get it in bits as hard as tin in the land where spunk is spunk-

mircea_popescu: not a trickling stream of lukewarm cream, but a solid frozen chunk."

mircea_popescu: aloha

mircea_popescu: not so bad.

mircea_popescu: sooo... if i ran a service that took euro via pp/etc and then i started accepting bitcoins and now i actually am dumping pp and only accepting bitcoins

mircea_popescu: am i the first business in the world to have done this ?

mircea_popescu: but has anyone else done this before ? is what i'm curious.

mircea_popescu: cause if not, remember, remember the 7th of september.

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2012/adio-paypal-trecem-pe-bitcoini/ that;d be the announcement

mircea_popescu: obviously, in romanian.

mircea_popescu: rdponticelli hm ?

mircea_popescu: lmao

mircea_popescu: what's grish ?

mircea_popescu: you're not talking to me, are you.

mircea_popescu: .tr :en :fr but why don't you speak le francais!

mircea_popescu: http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/143/627/tumblr_lf6eqog2rH1qzljhoo1_500.jpg?1309740951

mircea_popescu: jcpham depends. it usually is quite humorous.

mircea_popescu: sense it makes. none.

mircea_popescu: except the other half all the time.

mircea_popescu: actually idea might be so to speak in english google of translate like style from now forever

mircea_popescu: well... it's an announcement for romanians who use a romanian service

mircea_popescu: it just so happens to (maybe) be the first time someone dumped paypal for bitcoin

mircea_popescu: otherwise i don't see why anyone;'d care

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: rdponticelli i did.

mircea_popescu: well the wiki is kinda so-so up to date neh ?

mircea_popescu: there's stuff there listed that's dead for 1 year

mircea_popescu: haha i guess. not REALLY that big a deal neh

mircea_popescu: !ticker s.mpoe

mircea_popescu: apparently...

mircea_popescu: o, he's gonna pay, haven't you heard ?

mircea_popescu: he has had some issues and has been busy but just as soon as he gets back he's going to take care of things.

mircea_popescu: One study found that 93% of us think we're above-average drivers. Another discovered that 25% of high school seniors rated themselves among the top 1% in their ability to get along well with others.

mircea_popescu: somewhat mildly related :

mircea_popescu: It really is quite amazing how very unattractive women in America act like they are hot shit. There is no humility and no gentle nature, just loud and brash behavior that makes you wonder if they’re self-deluded or “faking it until they make it,” even though we all know the only thing they’re making is the end of a pint of Haagen Daaz. They even have the audacity to repeatedly say “I’m hot” without a hint of irony. Why

mircea_popescu: are they acting this way?

mircea_popescu: maybe.

mircea_popescu: tho the entire social media culture surely helps explode overconfidence issues.

mircea_popescu: after all, it's not polite to call an idiot an idiot.

mircea_popescu: i blame the peers.

mircea_popescu: insufficient kids need to be bullied into depression and suicide

mircea_popescu: that's the entire point of a peer group.

mircea_popescu: basically.
