assbot: Federal Appeals Court Decision in Oracle v. Google - Bradley M. Kuhn ( Brad ) ( bkuhn )
danielpbarron: heh, that's the twitter profile description of an associate of mine
decimation: yeah it seems like the basic problem is that there is no coherent law, so the courts are faced with either making stuff up or continually pawning the problem off onto someone else
mircea_popescu: stronger than that : the prestige of people judging it depends on them giving out patent support.
decimation: yes, it is pretty clear that the "patent system" has been captured by those who are enriched by patents
mircea_popescu: anyway, the guy does miss an impoirtant point : small companies can indeed opt out of patent trollage : they incorporate on mpex, as per bitcoin rules.
decimation: the trouble is that if they are incorporated in the US, they might make USG an enemy
benkay: one might go so far as to say that listing on mpex and incorporating in the states are mutually exclusive at this time.
decimation: well, they are certainly taking a big risk
mircea_popescu: decimation arguably NOT incorporating on mpex is taking an even bigger risk.
mircea_popescu: we'd all love this situation where there's a way to avoid all risk. nevertheless, that's a counterfactual. irl, adults have to pick a poison at all times.
decimation: this supposed bitcoin etf, although not new, might be a harbinger of the next leg up in bitcoin v. USD
mircea_popescu: experience shows that the various fiat side efforts have pretty much zero impact on bitcoin price, you know ?

decimation: this is true. but the usd price of gold went up quite a bit after the gold ETF's opened up
mircea_popescu: wasn't that more related to various red talk shows pumping iot ?
decimation: Yes, I think so. But it was also the first time that it was easy to buy "gold" in your 401k account
mircea_popescu: just, they hadn't figured out how to "market" it till recently.
mircea_popescu: besides, couldn't have marketed it during dot com bubble, nor during the intervening contraction
decimation: yeah, it's hard to separate all of the confounding factors
mircea_popescu: decimation the nonsense of holding gold "in your 401k" is so amusing to me.
mike_c: certainly something will be used to explain the rise after the next bump. always gotta be a reason or we have to admit we have no clue.
decimation: well, it's a hilarity forced upon the us by the USG
decimation: plenty of US citizens 'hold gold' but have never touched the metal
mircea_popescu: in that sense, they're probably also married to women i fuck.
decimation: some computer says that some other computer says that it has a gold bar, but they can't touch it

decimation: no. try to find out exactly how many dollars there are in the world, for instance

mircea_popescu: in what paralel universe does italy hold 2k tons of gold ?
decimation: "dude your gold is all here, we just need to find it"
decimation: well, to be precise, there are probably many claims, and theirs is junior
decimation: it was probably all sold off years ago under some Fed "lease" program
mircea_popescu: entire fucking country consists of three people translating german newspapers and the rest trying to make a commedia del'arte version of what they understood of it.

mike_c: i feel like i write about bitbet every month
mircea_popescu: HeySteve your own blog didn't ping. some google spammer that scraped your content did.
mircea_popescu: if this happens regularly, people are likely to just allow their trackbacks, making them rank above you on your own content.

assbot: Have a hot thought abt #Bitcoin Odds are, /Mircea_Popescu was on it yrs ago

princessnell: Apocalyptic i am fond of many ideas. and often the people who propose them as well.
mircea_popescu: >[The complaint was filed June 11, 2007, and was sealed over three months later, on September 17, 2007. Until that time it had been publicly available. It was sealed with one sentence near the end of a "proposed order" granting a motion to strike certain portions of the complaint. The order was apparently written by attorneys for Brock Pierce and presented to the judge, who scratched out the word "proposed" and signed
mircea_popescu: the order without other modification. Although "proposed orders" are common in many situations, one does not typically request that documents be sealed by appending the request to another order in the Central District of California. This is at least partly because appending a request to seal to another order does not create a docket entry of an "Order to Seal" that the Clerk, journalists, and other interested parties c
mircea_popescu: so the murdering piece naphex pasted earlier has a lot of dubious fare in it, but also some gems.
mircea_popescu: if anyone is into investigative journalism, how about finding these corrupt judges ?
mircea_popescu: there's little possible question that the pierce punk and his master escaped serious prosecution throiugh corruption.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 2 @ 0.05850606 = 0.117 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: but, who did they corrupt and how and when ? which cali judge took money from whom so they could walk ?
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: is your buy order 19499 still open?
mircea_popescu: apparently the whole thing's quite amateur hour, so it shouldn't be THAT hard.
bounce: so, verdict, unlikely to be innocent, ducked out by greenback?
mircea_popescu: on a cursory examination of a moderate pile of documentary evidence, such is my best guess.
mircea_popescu: hardly a verdict. let's call it... a proposed verdict.
bounce: can always strike out the "proposed" part later, eh
rithm: i like to call him brock landers
rithm: where there is smoke there is fire?
assbot: Brock Landers - Angels Live in My Town - YouTube
mircea_popescu: Let’s be clear here: Brock Pierce considers his previous work with IGE to have been a positive contribution to virtual currencies as a whole and he holds the delusion that his work in the field was instrumental to paving the way for Bitcoin. He wishes to be “The Godfather of Bitcoin”... It means what you think it means, especially in Hollywood.
HeySteve: rithm, at the least, it is hard to believe that for two years he noticed nothing amiss in the conduct of his housemates in Spain
mircea_popescu: never mind that part. he noticed nothing amiss in the conduct of ige ? srsly ?
rithm: i've read enough to make mircea looks like a saint
mircea_popescu: on account of being 12 and what is this cock in my mouth ? or what.
Naphex: that got me out of bed
mircea_popescu: rithm wait a second mr backhand jab. wtf would make me look less like a saint!
rithm: aww c'mon you know what i mean
rithm: everyone always gives you shit about the naked girls
rithm: this is way beyond that
Naphex: mircea_popescu: i had no idea who the brock guy even was
rithm: nah nigger.txt totally O-K
mircea_popescu: kid actor, then part of a wow gold trading gang is what i knew.
rithm: more like abused child star
mircea_popescu: i had no idea he's rich, and i very much doubt he actually is.
mircea_popescu: kinda puts in a sore light the desperation of all these thought leaders in their own dreams, if that's what their godfather looks like.
mircea_popescu: Pierce also told BuzzFeed over the phone that he finds the resurfacing of those allegations frustrating. “It’s all old news,” he said. << you know, that part is so fucking familiar. trilema is full of various exposed scammers, spammers, what have you. their absolutely universal first line response ? "o that stuff is old news".
mircea_popescu: "I’m not even gay.”< ok, gets even better, we don't even need an investigative journalist anymore. any hot twinks with a desire to majorly troll want to go hit on pierce and report the results ?
mircea_popescu: >Pierce called Egan “a pathological liar” and told BuzzFeed that he has charter flight records that prove that Singer and the other defendants were never in Hawaii with Egan, as the lawsuit alleges. He said that he could not immediately release those records.<
rithm: could probably do the video shoot back at his place
rithm: for better lighting
Naphex: most of the stuff is true(tm)
mircea_popescu: "What kind of allegedly heterosexual man spends endless nights with two older men, guns, and drugs?" << why mix all that stupid shit in there i wonder ?
mircea_popescu: i'm perfectly heterosexual, i've spent many nights with dozens of older men, armed to the teeth.
Naphex: guy had lots of poo history on archive.org
mircea_popescu: "What kind of man ruins the online lives of underage boys with RMT" come on.
Naphex: dunno, probably some anon doxer
HeySteve: possibly Phineas Gage, but no desire to confirm that
Naphex: most of it is old drama

mircea_popescu: bounce i dun think the guy is "corrupt", what the hell that is. i think he's clueless and incompetent, which is much worse than any corruption.
mircea_popescu: and as to why now rather than earlier : nobody gives a shit about the foundation. nobod yreads what they do. nobody cares.
mircea_popescu: the only moment anyone pays any attention is when they majorly fuck up, because we can all just lol and move on.
mircea_popescu: anyway, apparently the two bit idiot character still exists and still posts. notwithstanding that nobody reads that pulp, either. now get a load of this :
mircea_popescu: "I didn’t want to touch this story with a ten-foot pole because 1) I’ve met and have had only positive experiences with Pierce, 2) he is one of the most well-connected and important early investors in the Bitcoin industry, and 3) even if I hated him and he was a nobody, I’m still licking my wounds from the Gox and BTC Foundation battles I waged in February/March. The last thing I want to do is comment on a new p
mircea_popescu: amusing as 3) is, considering how utterly trampled he got for all the pompous bullshit he was trying to pass back then,
mircea_popescu: he's here trying to establish a noob as "early investor" ? orly ? gtfo.
bounce: "corrupt" in the sense it looks like he bribed his way out of the allegations
mircea_popescu: bounce that'd be a problem for the judge taking the bribe. i see no problem for him in that.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that he apparently did a shitty job of it.
mircea_popescu: "After all, this is a dude with a lot of industry exposure and investments as it is. He could basically build a closed-loop bitcoin ecosystem himself via his roles as both investor (BitAngels, LA Bitcoin Accelerator) and executive at companies ranging from mining (KNCMiner), ATM hardware (Robocoin), payment processing (GoCoin), consumer wallet (ExpressCoin), and bitcoin exchange (Mt. Gox?). "
bounce: a closed loop ScamCoin infrastructure, why not
bounce: somebody sell this idea to him
mircea_popescu: hey, any fiat fucktards with delusions of being "investors" and "relevant" and "in bitcoin" ? pls to give the guy some money ?
bounce: (for a lot of bitcoin)
mircea_popescu: ahahaha the byrne fuckwit is actually a blockchain "bitcoin legal expert" pick of the month club ?
mircea_popescu: ok, i am well entertained. tys go to the pretender's club. well done sirs.
Apocalyptic: "Andreas Antonopolis, whom many consider to be the authority on everything bitcoin, explained"
bounce: really should write all these names down along with what they're on about now
mircea_popescu: guy can't fucking read, i have no idea how he managed to pass the bar exam, he's the foundation's expert on things.
mircea_popescu: such setting oneself up to fail has not been seen since the days mtgox was running on the lagengine.
mircea_popescu: " Why inappropriately smear one of the few credible dudes that actually stepped up to run — and let’s face it, the pickings were slim — without any real proof of wrongdoing, and why bitch about it only after the fact?"
mircea_popescu: because your ass is being owned, by other people, other places.
