assbot: Why Its Over For Litecoin (This is GREAT for BlackCoin!) : blackcoin
bitcoinpete: "Peter Dushenski is a first class bellend who would attack blackcoin if it was in litecoins position. JUST REMEMBER THAT!"
bitcoinpete: "Blackcoin definitely has what it takes to be competitive in today's market. A solid development team combined with a focus on real-world adoption will give us a bright future."
bitcoinpete: "I don't necessarily disagree with the message, and I think advertising there a great idea. However, we should absolutely not stoop to coin wars type of posts. Blackcoin can succeed along with LTC."
bitcoinpete: "My point is simply that honey attracts more flies than vinegar and we don't need to attack other coins or promote negativity. It turns people off."
mircea_popescu: justusranvier you know if you made a point of cutting out tired cliches such as "By now everyone has heard of" your writing'd benefit immensely.
mircea_popescu: "The origins of modern currencies started with gold and other precious metals." modern has an actual meaning. modern currencies start with the paper receipts used in england and then spread all over. premodern money starts with bronze and shells.
Vexual: bronzing up is still a thing
mircea_popescu: "Over time, as finance and commerce became more sophisticated, the concept of a unit of account emerge and gold generally became the default unit. Much has been written regarding why gold fell into this role, but for our purposes here it’s sufficient to note that it did." << seriously ?! what is this, insult the reader's intelligence club ?

mircea_popescu: and obviously, there's no prize for the people that ran safe stacks. there's a prize for those who didn't, who now get to a) bundle a lot of unrelated responmsibility and blame it on this known cause and b) ask for more money.

benkay: "Imagine, for instance, that 98% of the players are unfailingly nice to each other, but unfailingly cruel to the remaining 2% (who they can recognize, let’s say, by their long noses or darker skin—some trivial feature like that). Meanwhile, the put-upon 2% return the favor by being nice to each other and mean to the 98%. Who, in this scenario, is moral, and who’s immoral? The mathematical verdict of both eigenmoses and eigenjesus is
benkay: unequivocal: the 98% are almost perfectly good, while the 2% are almost perfectly evil. After all, the 98% are nice to almost everyone, while the 2% are mean to those who are nice to almost everyone, and nice only to a tiny minority who are mean to almost everyone. Of course, for much of human history, this is precisely how morality worked, in many people’s minds. But I dare say it’s a result that would make moderns uncomfortable."

mircea_popescu: here's an interesting if unrelated point : what characteristic of classical english theatre, cca 1600s, was shared by both classical french and italian, but not ever since ? so that 99.x% of all good plays, all good actors and all good performances have this one thing in common, that's not been seen again ?
decimation: well, I don't have french or italian, but Shakspeare's plays were ... poetry
mircea_popescu: turns out, it's that they were all produced for a small audience of the same people.
mircea_popescu: consequently the producers were forced to iterate a lot and fail fast
mircea_popescu: and the audience knew the craft better than any debutante.
mircea_popescu: such are the blessings of closed society : that art may flourish. democracy and social mobility allows for no such thing.

decimation: the Patagonian cliffs care not for word-smithing and spinning
benkay: i've always thought it a rather bad idea to be burning everything at hand, just on the principle that i don't want to be breathing crap all the time.
mthreat: mircea_popescu: ok once I get Azelphur's, i'll turn them all into a mysql dump and send it to kakobrekla. Then once kako gets them on log.b-a, i'll just crawl-backfill.
mircea_popescu: benkay problem is that approach contradicts the "world peace" approach. not burn anytihng at hand but clothe and feed anyone at hand ?
decimation: one can simultaneously believe global warming is a scam and also consider the coal plant down the street to be ruinous
mircea_popescu: mthreat seems reasonable. were yopu able to find my 2012 bits or did i accidentally only send you one file of two ?
mircea_popescu: decimation no no, "we should tax everything and put the money into '''research'''"
mircea_popescu: only THAT is the correct way to solve all the world's p[roblems
mircea_popescu: in other words, two mice disagreed once on how to split a chunk of cheese they had found. so the cat ate the cheese, and the mice.
decimation: actually, at least one of the mice was probably on the cat's side
decimation: after all, it's better to have no humans at all than to have kulaks etc
mthreat: mircea_popescu: yah you were correct. But as you said, your log has gaps, so hopefully Azelphur's logs are more complete.
mircea_popescu: to be a modest chap, the logs kinda exist because i had this irresponsible attitude where i'd only log while awake, and so things got lost.
mircea_popescu: let it not be said that irresponsible laziness has not made nice things
decimation: well, one can be certain of its state when power is not applied
decimation: well, impi, remote access, all the same kind of thing
decimation: I considered buying a server with that feature so I could remotely access it without a monitor
mircea_popescu: Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial. Registre su marca hoy.
decimation: I'm glad I didn't in retrospect - was gonna buy a supermicro - before, I could pretend it was secure, now we know otherwise
decimation: well, to me the major attraction beside the ip-kvm is the power cycle feature
decimation: but that can be had for even less money honestly
decimation: interestingly, old dell RAC cards had a feature where you could actually "view" the monitor over ssh
decimation: yeah you are right ascii, but you do realize that nearly all public and private entities in the US fall into that category
assbot: Investor Alert: Bitcoin and Other Virtual Currency-Related Investments | Investor.gov
decimation: "Not insured. While securities accounts at U.S. brokerage firms are often insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) and bank accounts at U.S. banks are often insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), bitcoins held in a digital wallet or Bitcoin exchange currently do not have similar protections."
decimation: why would you want to live outside the benevolent "protection" of USG?
decimation: honestly that "alert" is a pretty good pitch for Bitcoin
thestringpuller: how would you even insure bitcoins and who would insure them?
mircea_popescu: nobody can insure bitcoin in the sipc/fdic sense, because nobody can print them.
mircea_popescu: that type of insurance is typical manufacturer insurance, "that the product be free of defects or replaced"
mircea_popescu: and so in this sense, it's not that bitcoin isn't insured in that way. it's moreover that bank deposits etc aren't, and the continuance of the fraudulent pretense to the contrary promulgated by various usg agencies among which the sec above strictly depends on it not being needed.
decimation: mircea_popescu: Indeed, which is why this "alert" is so amusing. "Seizing or freezing bitcoins. Law enforcement officials may have difficulty seizing or freezing illicit proceeds held in bitcoins. Bitcoin wallets are encrypted and unlike money held in a bank or brokerage account, bitcoins may not be held by a third-party custodian."
decimation: Don't use Bitcoin because we can't take it away from you, at our option
mircea_popescu: but that's exactly the concept. my slavegirl might not want to visit you in a room you can lock at your option.
decimation: so to be clear, it used to be the case that in order for someone to seize "your" money, they had to show up at your house and take your physical coins
mircea_popescu: well yes, but this was before a time people expected the king pick up their apothecary bill.

decimation: lol Carlyle has the same "non-persons" theory: "If the unfathomable Universe has decided to reject Human Beavers pretending to be Men; and will abolish, pretty rapidly perhaps, in hideous mud-deluges, their 'markets' and them, unless they think of it??In that case it were better to think of it: and the Democracies and Universal Suffrages, I can observe, will require to modify themselves a good deal!"

mircea_popescu: decimation and so they have modified themselves. no man living with carlyle would regard the average existence of today's westerner as anything but the most abject imprisonment
mircea_popescu: so... they've modified themselves, to take more cock with less fretting.

FabianB: mircea_popescu: my logs are burried in old backups on disks at a place i'm unlikely to be at in the next 2 to 3 weeks, so unless it's still useful by then i'll keep them there
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the smaller it gets, the harder it is to say
mircea_popescu: "democracy" as practiced among a hundred that know each other is no democracy anyway
ThickAsThieves: understood, i'm more pointing out that size is a factor, as in, it being closed isn't enough, it also can't be large
chetty: ThickAsThieves,avg life in the time frame was short, if you lived very long you likely had more wisdom (which is why you lived)
ThickAsThieves: i'm more referring to the the dynamics of a closed society in an effort to bring quality/robustness or whatever
chetty: not sure age counts for much anymore
chetty: I think closed is kinda relative tho, more like the semi-permeable membrane
