mircea_popescu: jhahaha
mircea_popescu: now you know how i feel.
nubbins`: to a point, perhaps ;)
nubbins`: now you know why i leave the drawing to others
mircea_popescu: actually i think it wasn't bad.
mircea_popescu: think about it : the first of your productions to be art,
mircea_popescu: as enacted by trilema.
nubbins`: unfortunately, not the first

nubbins`: how it reads
nubbins`: that's the first thing people see
bitcoin349: If the rat is on their computer from when I sent it without hiding my ip then I uninstall it before wiretransfering funds through bitcoin on a virtual machine with different settings and hiding ip on 3 layers would I be traced or would their not be a log in the ISP of the info about the rat.

benkay: this art discussion, yo
benkay: ain't nothing to it, really
benkay: the only opinions as what matter terribly are those as what emanate from the powerful
benkay: which is baseline true
benkay: it's like the f=ma of power dynamics
mircea_popescu: i been tryin to tell him
benkay: i did find the line about equivalency between aesthetic value and caloric value amusing
benkay: and i only deploy capital against aesthetic things when it's going to have some sort of caloric return. eg: "babe, take this small pile of capital and deploy it making this space look nice. that way when clients come by they won't be horrified by my abysmal decoration and might actually be impressed by my aesthetic committee's performance"

nubbins`: so you pay someone to buy art to put in your home or office or w/e in order to not appear like the sort of person who would be perfectly content inside a grey cube
nubbins`: in that context, yes, i suppose you'd only have the opinion of the "powerful" on which to rely
mircea_popescu: burn the heretical unbeliever!
nubbins`: some of us demand more from our surroundings!
mircea_popescu: like better masking for the impact of power.
nubbins`: "man, this benkay guy must employ someone who has really good taste in art"
benkay: nubs, why u mad, brizzo?
nubbins`: i thought we were all mad here
benkay: there's some irony in there.
nubbins`: best cure for anemia
benkay: i exercise veto all the time, man. neural nets need feedback to work correctly.
benkay: can't be arsed to go shopping though
benkay: very definitely a delegable task.
benkay: on an entirely different topic, i fly to argentina tomorrow. i'd be glad to act as a proxy in buenos aires for, you know, not *anyone*, but people in this channel with btc-related inquiries
nubbins`: honestly, the concept of going shopping for art hadn't occurred to me until now
nubbins`: you do it like you'd shop for pants or a new shower curtain or whatever?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 20 @ 0.81424999 = 16.285 BTC [+] {4}

benkay: unless they have cogent reasons for to not, obviously.

benkay: "commodity backed cryptocurrency"
benkay: given that i can take my buttcorns down to ye local banker and turn them into commodities, this is idiocy on idiocy, right?
mircea_popescu: so far.
benkay: "so far"?
benkay: meaning in the absence of a functional commodity-backed cc?
mircea_popescu: what you've said so far
mircea_popescu: mebbe there's more to it ?
benkay: not by my parsing.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.73100011 BTC [-]
benkay: just thinking about the concept shows it riddled with the holes of weak minds

benkay: i'm still trying to formulate an argument against people who hold that bitcoin is fiat currency

dub: erryday I hear, 'no really what are you really cracking'
benkay: i find myself trying to convince people of stuff again dammit :(
benkay: dub: as in "are you on crack"?
mircea_popescu: da fuck is "bitcoin is fiat currency" supposed to mean ?
benkay: i think the implication is that it's a currency by consensus
mike_c: it doesn't mean anything. What they mean when they say it is that it isn't backed by anything of value. you know, like gold.
benkay: which is moronic given that all currencies are only such by consensus
opc0d3: ofmogmozgml0lgz
benkay: enlighten me opc0d3
mike_c: it's one of those arguments that when you hear it, your ears start to bleed a little.

opc0d3: that is all.
opc0d3: I doubled my BTC buying futures at ICBIT.se, the greatest and largest futures exchange of all time

nubbins`: art by consensus
benkay: opc0d3: what's the options volume on icbit?
opc0d3: 4:1 leverage. best way to make money with exchange rate going up
mike_c: went from 1 btc to 2? congrats!
benkay: nubbins`: art because your lord said so. money by the same.
opc0d3: benkay: 170,000 volume on the futures contracts
nubbins`: benkay: i'm not the one with an aesthetics subcommittee.
benkay: it's not a subcommittee, it only reports to me.
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 http://trilema.com/2012/icbitse-the-bucket-shop/
mircea_popescu: start there.
nubbins`: consider the statement suitably modified
nubbins`: art by fiat!
mircea_popescu: i suppose the entire "bitcoin is fiat" argument fails to comprehend that the only true scarcity is mathematical in nature.
mircea_popescu: you can't get another number four.
nubbins`: art by math: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-11-2013#367467 ☝︎
benkay: i would put the a.c. outside for the night if that hit my radar unsolicited.
asciilifeform: what's next? some joker will say that an AK round is 'fiat' currency?
benkay: (^^ nubbins`)
asciilifeform: 'barrel doesn't /have/ to be 7.62mm! fiat!'
nubbins`: ;)
opc0d3: mircea_popescu: so you claim that they sell fake contracts down to force people into margin calls?? doubt it. i've been trading there for 4 months, in the black significantly, (im on this list https://icbit.se/WebTrade/top.aspx ) and have made multiple withdrawls.
opc0d3: Tycho is an ADMIN at bitcointalk and very trusted and is one of the owners.
benkay: admin at bitcointalk
benkay: well then give him all your isk
mike_c: no, an ADMIN
nubbins`: admin AT BITCOINTALK
opc0d3: mircea_popescu: sounds like you're just bitter that they had thin volume and someone traded against you
benkay: amazing options
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
opc0d3: point is, he's trusted
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 don't be an idiot. that article is older than your involvement in "finance".
opc0d3: laugh all you want. its like laughing at using John K for escrow.. you sound like idiots
pankkake: > trusting a website with urls in .aspx
nubbins`: trust by fiat
mircea_popescu: sigh.
opc0d3: mircea_popescu: they have more volume now. you obviously bought futures in a thin market, and it moved against you.
mircea_popescu: i love it when 4 month old muppets imagine their short lifespan compensates for 2year+ history.
mike_c: is he kidding? or did john k show his face again?
nubbins`: pankkake: there's nothing stopping that from being a renamed .jspx ;)
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 mpex had months over 1mn btc nominal.
opc0d3: they're only getting bigger and bigger... so laugh all you want
mircea_popescu: the difference is that mpex uses actual figures, rather than running this thinly veiled scam you do.
opc0d3: ICBIT.se is the most legitimate futures exchange right now, and the largest.... so laugh at their success
mircea_popescu: they get bigger and bigger each year.
opc0d3: 0% fees also
mircea_popescu: then they magically don't have the dough to pay the winners, and go into a cone of darkness for a half year
mircea_popescu: then they hire some five cent an hour muppets and are again alll sucess and bigger and bigger.
mircea_popescu: and again and again.
mircea_popescu: unregulated markets have various advantages, among which the existence of such idiocy.
opc0d3: mircea_popescu: it's in your interest to slander you competitors. so, forgive me if I call you on your FUD and BS
mircea_popescu: dude.
benkay: "don't have the dough to pay the winners"
benkay: sauce?
mircea_popescu: benkay the article quoted, and there's periodic such reports on bitcointalk
mircea_popescu: last one was about 3 months or so. magically, his position was executed 10% under market.
Apocalyptic: opc0d3, ICBIT.se ? never heard of that
mircea_popescu: and to clarify, opc0d3 , you don't get to come in after a coupla years and call established fact "fud" and "bs".
mircea_popescu: if nothing else, because there's little doubt and even less uncertainity involved.
opc0d3: Apocalyptic: its the largest Futures exchange, and they have 0% trading fees right now... its awesome

benkay: a telling response.
mircea_popescu: benkay you're just angry because he's stealing your wot share.
Apocalyptic: well the fact site is running on ASP makes me chuckle a bit
opc0d3: mircea_popescu: even though i think you're full of shit.... your picture on that horse is hilarious. +1
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 you don't have what to think i'm full of shit with.
nubbins`: hey, asp *dot net*!
pankkake: oh a webchat user, the advance sign of retardation
nubbins`: there's an "x" in those extensions!
opc0d3: Apocalyptic: yeah, funny that most of the worlds corporate software runs on .NET , i wonder why multi-billion dollar companies use .NET... what idiots@!!
pankkake: lol
Apocalyptic: do they ? i feel more secure running a linux server honestly
Apocalyptic: but what do I know...
nubbins`: they do.
opc0d3: only idiots would buy windows. That Mircosoft company must be worthless.... let me check
pankkake: you know, multi billion dollar companies aren't a very good example of competence or efficiency
Apocalyptic: ^^
opc0d3: $300B market cap!
benkay: inertia, mostly.
benkay: and what's the fb market cap? and their competence/business acumen?
opc0d3: pankkake: doesn't mean that running a .NET site is stupid or bad idea.
pankkake: you'll figure it out when you get out of school
opc0d3: i run linux on all my servers. but can tell you from experience that big corps prefer MSFT
pankkake: so?
Apocalyptic: opc0d3, they "prefer" that's it
mircea_popescu: this is progressing nicely.
Apocalyptic: doesn't mean anything about the value of the product
opc0d3: you guys are lemmings to laugh at .NET
opc0d3: linux fanboys
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 where have you learned to win friends and influence people ?
mircea_popescu: it wasn't steve ballmer was it.
nubbins`: see, the thing is: coca-cola can afford to pay for gold-tier support contracts, so they can use .NET and if it breaks (which it doesn't), they have a big red telephone they can pick up to get it fixed
opc0d3: i personally don't use any MSFT products, but would never be so idiotic to laugh at developers that do
nubbins`: some random btc-related website likely doesn't have any sort of gold-tier anything
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 99 @ 0.0075988 = 0.7523 BTC [+]
nubbins`: and so if something breaks (it will), they're fucked until they figure out how to fix it
opc0d3: +1 nubbins
nubbins`: THAT SAID
mircea_popescu: nubbins` except a fictitious exchange with no volume could be just as well run off dreamweaver.
opc0d3: nah. .NET deployments are usually much more stable then linux ones
nubbins`: the support community around .NET is just as massive as the one around any other web dev technology
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: notepad, even
mircea_popescu: was.
Apocalyptic: opc0d3, out of curiosity when was this trading plateform launched ?
mircea_popescu: it was, in 2001. maybe 2005.
mircea_popescu: it's nowhere near today.
opc0d3: what a load of BS>... ICBIT is not 'fictitious' nor does it have no volume.... so much misinformation and lies in here
opc0d3: you're just pissed you have competition -- successful competition
nubbins`: ah, i haven't worked with .NET since around 2005-07
dub: tycho is that guy that forgot how to run a pool yeah?
benkay: opc0d3 - it's an echo chamber in here. don't get butthurt.
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 dude, every mayfly in the book has said the exact same thing about me.
mircea_popescu: read moar.
nubbins`: left it behind when WCF started getting pushed
mircea_popescu: nubbins` from what i hear you weren't alone
opc0d3: benkay: MP talks, and pankkake echo's , seems like
nubbins`: the years of sharepoint development sucked my soul out, but being forced to move to WCF was the straw that broke me
opc0d3: a cute little parrot on his shoulder
pankkake: what you don't understand is that there is only one person here
nubbins`: ^
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 you know you could save yourself a lot of embarassment by reviewing the logs for a few days before blindly jumping in.
nubbins`: everyone else is a robot
mircea_popescu: an approach which actually would make your life better in every aspect.
mike_c: then you would know how to identify art.
benkay: what ams art?
benkay: r options art?
pankkake: please not again :(
mircea_popescu: mike_c by the way, you do have a point.
benkay: i am making put arts
nubbins`: it's art if i publish it
nubbins`: should we get eskimo bob in here?
mircea_popescu: while the opex system works great in every aspect as it is, the underwriter has no actual way to verify when they were executed in fact.
mircea_popescu: so for all they know i could be making shit up.
mike_c: yes :)
asciilifeform: opc0d3: there are no people here. just a script, running on a PDP-8 drywalled into a closet, door painted over, at NSA campus.
mircea_popescu: it somehow never occured to me, this.

benkay: okay noted
mircea_popescu: the sad thing of money is that nobody really wrote of it well.
mircea_popescu: it's like this supermistress of most accomplished lures which goes wholly forgotten and ignored to the grave,
mircea_popescu: because the sort of men she loved and loved her back were too busy doing to harp about it.
benkay: (doing it)
mircea_popescu: :p
benkay: i suspect i alreaady understand mises work just from the subtitle of that one book
benkay: how the middle way leads to socialism, bad policies following bad policies etc
mircea_popescu: instead phthisic "women" captive in the bodies of little boys like all the various utopian facets of socialism get tons of idyllic literature fashioned
mircea_popescu: by the sort of idle, pointless virgins that'd be interested in such crap.
benkay: plato, then?
mircea_popescu: btw pankkake you're doing a very small amount of parroting over here! i thought we had a deal!
pankkake: I need to insult you more
pankkake: or something
mircea_popescu: the one problem with these kids is... they have no endurance.
pankkake: I haven't read your latest blog stuff so I have nothing to disagree with

mircea_popescu: hey opc0d3 come back! we weren't done!@
pankkake: well he probably came earlier and will come back later. I wonder why he picked me, I wasn't even parroting this time

mircea_popescu: they'd make a helluva lot more if they could just take a file out of dpr's book and tell the govt to suck on an onion./

kleeck: My IronPort has been stripping zipped .exe files for a month now., all from DHL, UPS, and FedEx. Thanks for the headsup...
topace: haha
topace: thats a pretty shitty virus
topace: bringing a lot of new people to bitcoin
topace: in a bad way
topace: i had one guy ask me how i hadnt been arrested yet becuase he knew my address and phone number he was going to report me to the police
topace: it took me half an hour to explain to him, i only buy and sell bitcoins,. i have nothing to do with cryptolocker
kleeck: lol
kleeck: Drugs and Viruses, the backbone of BTC>
kleeck: :P
kleeck: It makes me sad that this virus is actually doing damage to any medium sized businesses.
kleeck: First off, your users shouldn't be able to get a zipped exe, or an exe, at all.
kleeck: At least via e-mail.
kleeck: Second, why don't you have backups?!
topace: one guy i talked to said it infected their backup system from the desktop it was clicked on
topace: i tried to explain to him how a moutned network drive != backup
kleeck: What?
topace: useless
kleeck: His backup was a network share?
topace: yea
kleeck: wtf
topace: which, kinda makes sense
kleeck: who are these clowns?
topace: it was a NAS
topace: and as a clueless IT person, thats probabyl what i would do too
kleeck: So, this wasn't a system admin, then?
topace: most of these companies dont have sysadmins
topace: they have "a guy that knows a littlbe bit about computers"
topace: or
kleeck: And uses network shares as a backup solution..
topace: "a guy that knows a guy that knows how to use computers"
kleeck: You can use a NAS, but you don't SHARE the backup partition.
topace: mostly ive been contacted by small businesses.. 3-10 employees
kleeck: I see.
topace: 3-5 per week the past few weeks
kleeck: Do you do support, then?
topace: "hi, i'd like to buy exactly 2.00000000 bitcoins, how do i do it? can i give you my creditcard number?"
kleeck: Oh no...
topace: == surefire cryptolocker victim

asciilifeform: dollars to doughnuts, hypothetical 'superminer' would be an ultimately analog system. with no well-understood explanation for why it works.
asciilifeform: bz-bzzz. where are the other flies on this dusty space rock...
jurov: mh, human brain falls into that definition, too :)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know flies require an atmosphere
asciilifeform: right.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, if I get a parrot that extracts correct nonces out of a bag, i don't have a miner.
mircea_popescu: i have a coincidental parrot.
mircea_popescu: even if i crack 1000 consecutive blocks in half an hour.
kakobrekla: how much for the parrot
asciilifeform: any reason such a beast wouldn't function as a miner?
mircea_popescu: anamazing parrot!
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform same reason a girl wearing a funny hat doesn't function as the emperess of china.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: think it would wake people up into the dynamic-workfunction heresy?
mircea_popescu: if the shaman heals you he's still no doctor, even should the mage light up a fire he's still no matchstick
asciilifeform: the mage can still burn the village to the ground
asciilifeform: even if he has no idea why his stick-rubbing touched off the flame.
mircea_popescu: but it wouldn't be a flamethrower, it'd just be a lucky freak.
asciilifeform: right
mircea_popescu: so in this sense this isn't a discussion about mining,
mircea_popescu: this is a discussion about what if god gets your wife pregnant.
asciilifeform: it's more a discussion of 'asteroid event.'
mircea_popescu: right.
mircea_popescu: if messiah comes tomorrow riding a box of flaming fans
mircea_popescu: this perhaps will have an impact, let's discuss it :D
asciilifeform: one would have to smoke some serious strange to believe that the concept of workfunction is vulnerable in the general case.
asciilifeform: but it is quite certainly so in the specific instance currently in use.
asciilifeform: all of this reminds me of a story told about General Curtis LeMay
asciilifeform: it is said that he never spat out his enormous cigar, and once appeared with such near a bomber at a fueling pump
asciilifeform: a grunt, risking court martial, asked the general to put out his smoke
asciilifeform: given that the whole shebang 'might explode'
asciilifeform: to which the general replied - 'it wouldn't dare.' ☟︎
asciilifeform: the static workfunction is not entirely unlike this cigar.
