mircea_popescu: dude that inaba / garr thread is gold.

mircea_popescu: "All you people in this thread DO KNOW what 'Corporate Espionage' is right?? That it can carry serious jail time."

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla they were a stupid idea to begin with.

mircea_popescu: that's a point yeah.

mircea_popescu: da fuck we gonna do with that one.

mircea_popescu: it's a fucking mess.

mircea_popescu: basically the only way to run a legitimate business in bitcoin

mircea_popescu: is to not involve anyone else. because if tyou do, sooner or later

mircea_popescu: they'll turn out to be huge gaping scamvaginas.

mircea_popescu: but looky here : run a bfl bet ? bfl changes spec.

mircea_popescu: total shithole thing to do.

mircea_popescu: run a bitcointalk bet ? bitcointalk changes the respective behaviour

mircea_popescu: etc.

mircea_popescu: how you mean ?

mircea_popescu: it's funny tjhat the cognitive idiot actually imagined his shit move is going to help his rep.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this theory falls apart once you try to apply it to the point at hand.

mircea_popescu: yeah, that is exactly what i said : vetting of bets is poorly designed, in that it allows things to reference bitcoin people

mircea_popescu: who are liars.

mircea_popescu: end of story.

mircea_popescu: unforeseen circumstances clause can never cover the "bet subject acts in a deliberately deceitful manner"

mircea_popescu: that's patently unfair to bettors, by its nature.

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: is why im bitching.

mircea_popescu: because in a village of scammy idiots, running any sort of legitimate business is significantly morer difficult.

mircea_popescu: this is why there's no r&d happening in angola./

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla except bet refunds suck and the basis is weak and the no scammer tags fits the literasl no ;/

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves not him. the "escrows"

mircea_popescu: lmao

mircea_popescu: that's officially meme now.

mircea_popescu: i wonder how many pedos are on btctalk

mircea_popescu: seeing there's so many liberated tweens running around doing bzns and other serious shit

mircea_popescu: i guess half the us catholic church has jalapeno preorders ?

mircea_popescu: you're what again, 28 ?

mircea_popescu: past the point of saggy tits already huh,.

mircea_popescu: ;;ticker

mircea_popescu: see ? all this drama pushed it up 7 points

mircea_popescu: "Seems that the well known yet little discussed fact that the majority of people "in Bitcoin" have a mental age of about nine is finally being recognized and exploited commercially."

mircea_popescu: ok, guess who said that and when

mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=207716.msg2179210#msg2179210

mircea_popescu: dude there's a rift straight to hell oppened two houses down

mircea_popescu: tis the end of the world.

mircea_popescu: nop

mircea_popescu: antivirus shit still exists ;/

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so wait. kim guy is supposedly into bitcoin, has not a dime left to buy servers ?

mircea_popescu: wait wut ?

mircea_popescu: the story here is kim guy had ALL his moneys confiscatered so now can't pay leaseweb for servers.

mircea_popescu: how did they confiscate his btc ? wasn't he a big deal btc investor with like the twinkletwinks or w/e ?

mircea_popescu: On Wednesday, Dotcom said that he would have bought back all of Megaupload's servers from the companies that hosted them, but he was unable to because the DoJ had frozen all of the company's assets and refused to release even a portion of them for the purpose.

mircea_popescu: i dunno, just going by what they said

mircea_popescu: this is register

mircea_popescu: afaik people mostly used it to mock the crypto

mircea_popescu: * ThickAsThieves has been canned by assbot forever for using Adobe.

mircea_popescu: real men vector in tex

mircea_popescu: but srsly now, ever tried inkscape ?

mircea_popescu: you'd be faster in that just because it's actually programmable.

mircea_popescu: well i'm off to tittyfuck gemma atkinson

mircea_popescu: take care all.

mircea_popescu: ;;ticker

mircea_popescu: inaba drama continues, more twists, more turns. net result +2.

mircea_popescu: slowing down, yest it was +8

mircea_popescu: lmao two weeks

mircea_popescu: two weeks (a bfl tm)

mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=231960.msg2508507#msg2508507 that kinda blew up so

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves teh bitcoin scamdation huh.

mircea_popescu: usagi : MPOE-PR likes to make quips at me for some reason.

mircea_popescu: fascinating

mircea_popescu: i think you

mircea_popescu: 're newer herer than his large meltdown last summer ?

mircea_popescu: was a sight to behold. course like 1k posts were meanwhile deleted

mircea_popescu: ;;google backtraced it youtube.com

mircea_popescu: that';s basically the summary of it.

mircea_popescu: notrly. original always best

mircea_popescu: well actually he's a fat guy from the midwest who pretends to be a juvenile japanese female with magicval powers, karate expertise

mircea_popescu: and i think more stuff

mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=238474.msg2530579#msg2530579 lol mnw trying to cause trbl

mircea_popescu: Bitspend.net funds seized and service closed

mircea_popescu: actually it's pretty funny, clueless idiot indignation.

mircea_popescu: Chase bank and another bank, have both decided that we as a Bitcoin based business are "Too High Risk" of clients, and have frozen/shut down our accounts. We were NOT given notice, and we were simply told "your funds will be sent to you by check within 30 days". This is not something we were ever warned about, given notice of, or even received the courtesy of a phone call from the bank beforehand.

mircea_popescu: he was never warned about!!1

mircea_popescu: d'oh.

mircea_popescu: banks routinely keep mpoe-pr people on staff, to berate idiots over the phone for being idiotic in the hopes they may be pushed to suicide.

mircea_popescu: it's just how banking works, in lalalalnd

mircea_popescu: kik

mircea_popescu: let me guess, a mining bond ?

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves ironically enough a guy vby the name brendio was drafting the same thing about may 2012

mircea_popescu: he disappeared tho

mircea_popescu: Next Difficulty In: 1485 blocks

mircea_popescu: it's about 1/3 in

mircea_popescu: wait.

mircea_popescu: hey idiff just beat its record

mircea_popescu: you know the "network rate" is backwards-interpolated based on the actual nethash right ?

mircea_popescu: based on the actual block frequency and the diff i mean.

mircea_popescu: ;;calc .015 * 52 / 3

mircea_popescu: if they manage to do that til 2017 it's not bad.

mircea_popescu: well w/e it sells for

mircea_popescu: !t bc asicminer-pt

mircea_popescu: meh

mircea_popescu: if you consider your weekly amortisation to be 1% (it is a mining thing after all) then each week is a ~0.013 loss per share.

mircea_popescu: like 2014 ?

mircea_popescu: i doubt it seeing how it's per block count

mircea_popescu: he means generally.

mircea_popescu: they may be half a btc per block, but they won't be 10

mircea_popescu: furuknap obviously to his mind bitcoin=his own interest.

mircea_popescu: prolly 13-14 total per block, i can see that.

mircea_popescu: 20 and over ain't in the books

mircea_popescu: jborkl_ dollars don't entyer into this discussion really. it's all btc

mircea_popescu: mining equipment seems to be denominated in btc.

mircea_popescu: furuknap the fact x involved party needs to eat is not more a germane point in discussing btc deonomination than in discussing dollar denomination,

mircea_popescu: as nobody eats green paper either

mircea_popescu: technically speaking the better stuff you eat was paid for in euros.

mircea_popescu: the shittier stuff you eat in yuans

mircea_popescu: !t btctc s.mpoe-pt

mircea_popescu: so 10 btc alligned it.

mircea_popescu: nope, it just uses one fingerprint and that's it.

mircea_popescu: but if you don't use tghe master key it doesn't matter if it's jhard to compromise

mircea_popescu: as the subkeys are now the target.

mircea_popescu: exactly.

mircea_popescu: or some kidnapped french girl.

mircea_popescu: but anyway : if you didn't buttfuck frogs all day you wouldn't be infertile to begin with.

mircea_popescu: mpoe-pr got a paste. her response ? "the french may have invented sauce, but it's pretty weak"

mircea_popescu: o ya ? this reminds me of the case where lots of women were shocked to hear their french boobie inplants contained some sort of piss instead of gel.

mircea_popescu: french compagnie.

mircea_popescu: davout the story did make it to romania, mostly to consternation.

mircea_popescu: horses have been forbidden on roads in the 1980s

mircea_popescu: and yeah,. horse meat is sold at a premium (esp because romania imports beef, and eats horse)

mircea_popescu: so it's a case of "the japanese have replaced our hambuger meat with tuna". right-o.

mircea_popescu: o looky! havelock! cool.

mircea_popescu: !t h asicm

mircea_popescu: you know... i'd be surprised if store lasagna actually has meat in it.

mircea_popescu: not saying that the avalon people aren;'t lieing like it's going out of fashion, but

mircea_popescu: "If these units have been produced a week ago, like we are being told (new magic smt line, 50 units per day), how is it that they have an April firmware on it?"

mircea_popescu: that part could be easily explained. the firmware is being flashed before the chips are put in

mircea_popescu: i imagine they'd have one of those higher volume flasher things

mircea_popescu: as it'd be insanity to flash chip by chip after mounting in the unit

mircea_popescu: not saying insanity is a stranger to mining corps

mircea_popescu: dub by chip i meant the board's controller

mircea_popescu: not the hashing chips

mircea_popescu: you don't flash asics anyway, or am i grossly confused here ?

mircea_popescu: if it did i'd say it's veering worryingly towards fpga
