assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 669 @ 0.0026351 = 1.7629 BTC [+]
DreadKnight: thought some people got into btc early and mined with cpu and gpu, now that's not useful; some of those people got rich and can easily afford lots of asics now to continue mining and make some more money, but they invested in some hardware which was not very usable for anything else and quite a risk, so it kinda forced bitcoin to be a non burstable bubble because of the hardware
DreadKnight: so ASIC not really bad if you think about it
DreadKnight: btc had plenty of time to be spread around nicely with already existing hardware
DreadKnight: I was considering ASICs as a "the rich get richer" sort of thing, but considering their utility/cost/risks, it's all good
mircea_popescu: the point is not for some random fuckwits to "have a chance".
mircea_popescu: the point is for bitcoin to be as powerful as possible.
mircea_popescu: because, again, bitcoin is not here for the people, bitcoin is here for the elite.
DreadKnight: average joe won't know about bitcoin unless the elite implements it in businesses and requires it
DreadKnight: because bitcoin was on the tv news quite a few times around here at least
DreadKnight: "don't invest in btc, it's a bubble!" and after a while it showed a lot of stupid monkeys all like "I don't know how it works, but I sold x and y and invested it all into bitcoins" lol

chetty: the question comes down to, whats the sex in a stock exchange trade?
cazalla: met her online, she invited me over, i get there, lets me straight in and then tells me to be quiet because her kids are asleep, news to me at that point, she had kicked her husband out few days prior too
ThickAsThieves: maybe i can translate for chetty, or at least put words in her mouth. you have a hyper-sexualized view of things, using sex as metaphor constantly, being quite horny, keeping sex slaves, sex is majorly part of your psyche, going so far as to imply a hypersexual person is a hypersuccessful person/ why do you think it's so important and how does this relate to the inferiority assumed by
mircea_popescu: well, the objection'd be that hyper requires an average, and not only is there a good objective average sex, but why would anyone care ? this then reduces the problem to a personal matter, "he talks more of it than i do. this is inconvenient for x y z reasons."
mircea_popescu: remarkably enough, my use of the sex metaphor is actually unrelated to sex. it just happens to be an incredibly good structure for explaining things to people, especially people who haven't spent a lot of time thinking, either generally or on the topic at hand.
cazalla: only part that bothers me is half of mircea_popescu tumblr links look like they came from rusty and eddies
mircea_popescu: ths because they HAVE spent a lot of time thinking about sex.
chetty: ThickAsThieves, that close to what I meant. But nothing really to do personally with Mircea and sex, more how does he manage to see it everything

mircea_popescu: "When I am observing the Arnhem chimpanzees I sometimes feel I am studying Freud’s primal horde; as if a time machine has taken me back to prehistoric times, so that I can observe the village life of our ancestors. They still accept the droit du seigneur, one of the forgotten products of western culture. When Yeroen was the alpha male, he alone was responsible for about three-quarters of all matings. Not counting sex
mircea_popescu: ual intercourse with young females (who arouse less rivalry), his share was almost 100 %. Sex was his monopoly in the group." (de Waal 1990: 167-168).
mircea_popescu: remarkable that chimps are saner than people, and don't really care about the young girls.

mircea_popescu: donating to wikipedia is kind of like donating to korea's rocketry programme. even if it were valid science i still wouldn't do it.
artifexd: kakobrekla: How does assbot come up with the abbreviations for responding to spank?
artifexd: What was the training material?
artifexd: You say "NN". I read "Neural Net". Did I misread?
mthreat: mircea_popescu: I guess I want it to stick around, so i want to donate
artifexd: Maybe nearest neighbor. That would make your response more sensical.

fluffypony: brought to you by the David Seaman circlejerk
fluffypony: FoOdies5, neuroMode, you guys have interacted with blocktech no?
FoOdies5: lol can't even type his name without smiling
FoOdies5: 8bit interacted with one of their devs
fluffypony: this whole Naut / Dirac thing seems like one continuous stream of bullshit
FoOdies5: it's in my top 10 ongoing retarded crypto schemes list
FoOdies5: firstly a coin created by a wallstreet guy is obviously a get rich quick/slow scheme
fluffypony: with a "stabilisation fund" that hasn't stabilised anything
FoOdies5: what the fuck can you stabilize with a premine ?
FoOdies5: maybe keep the coin from going up
Duffer1: i read that as blatant manipulation, we just use different words
FoOdies5: either way it's clear cut what the goal of that coin is
FoOdies5: so it baffles me why anyone in their right mind would invest in it
fluffypony: tbh I don't know if the NBC "contributor" / blogger dude intended it that way
FoOdies5: except maybe if he can outtrade the owner and get some money
fluffypony: the article he wrote was all like "this is my little experiment"
fluffypony: and I think Weiner et. al. convinced him it could be "bigger" than an experiment
Duffer1: consider the audience foodies, reddit/bitcointalk "investors"
FoOdies5: or a social experiment to see how dumb people can be

FoOdies5: sorry I was helping preggers get ready for sleep
FoOdies5: I swear she's waiting to steal my birthday
FoOdies5: her mom stole it by setting our wedding date on my b-day
FoOdies5: and now the daughter wants to be born on my b-day
FoOdies5: .... wait that's how I got in this whole mess to begin with ... by fucking women
FoOdies5: seriously tho when the fuck is Kubo gonna switch to Bach vs Squad 0 fights already
FoOdies5: this zombies shit is boooooring
neuroMode: I think Brian Kelly is shooting himself in the foot by listening to the cryptogoblins pushing for POS
fluffypony: FoOdies5: aaah, outside of my wheelhouse
neuroMode: Naut immediately becomes a pyramid scheme
fluffypony: I can't look at a PoS coin without thinking it stands for "piece of shit"
neuroMode: purposefully named with that acronym
neuroMode: i mean...let's create artificially rare coins that only have a week of distribution
neuroMode: now, let's all make it our job to try and convince someone else to buy it for more than we paid
neuroMode: with no other means of obtaining it
fluffypony: I don't fundamentally have an issue with PoS as an experiment (albeit one doomed for failure at present)
fluffypony: I just hate this bait-and-switch tactic that seems to be common
neuroMode: it becomes very obviously a pyramid scheme no matter how well disguised the marketing campaign is
fluffypony: launch a PoW shitcoin, and then "suddenly" announce it's changing to PoS
neuroMode: when he succumbs to his community's derailed wishes to turn POS
neuroMode: yep. its all the cryptogoblins that pout about inflation and have a very narrow scope of cryptocurrencies
FoOdies5: what's tiresome is the endless waves of supporters for these piles of shit
neuroMode: no matter how muhc money people lose
neuroMode: cryptocurrencies are more of a casino to gamble at
neuroMode: to the majority of people nowadays
fluffypony: I wonder how much of it is the same group of retards investing in a new shitcoin hoping to get rich
neuroMode: i wonder how many actual devs there are making these coins. Its likea fucking business now. I bet its like 5 groups of guys
assbot: The Real Altcoin (ATC) – Never Mine Another Altcoin Again
neuroMode stops everything im doing, dumps all other altcoins, and buys Altcoin
fluffypony: I see the new thing is you have to release a whitepaper
fluffypony: but it shouldn't have any maths or cryptography in
fluffypony: just nonsensical diagrams and walls of text written by a monkey
neuroMode: its such a disgrace to what actual research/white papers are
fluffypony: mypersonal favourite is the SummerCoinV2 whitepaper
assbot: Dropbox - Navajo Anonymous Technology Whitepaper(English).pdf
fluffypony: I believe that all altcoins in the future should include Star Gates
fluffypony: I'm disappointed that thickasthieves hasn't even bothered releasing a whitepaper promising Choctaw Star Gates for Altcoin
BingoBoingo: <fluffypony> I don't fundamentally have an issue with PoS as an experiment (albeit one doomed for failure at present) << Proof of Stake essentially lets big bagholders delude themselves longer by becoming still bigger bagholders
neuroMode: Navajo Anonymous Technology Whitepaper AKA FAQ
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: yep - what I meant is that I don't have a problem if someone launches a PoS coin with something fundamentally different to PPC, I don't think it's bad to play with stuff in a real-world environment
fluffypony: but they break their social contract when they launch as one thing and then suddenly change to another
BingoBoingo: Well, the same breach happens when a coin switches from mining its own chain to merged mining
neuroMode: it just emphasizes the pointlessness and aimlessness of the coin, and makes the coin now flagged for possible scam
FoOdies5: BingoBoingo merged mining should be a feature for niche coins
FoOdies5: coins with the purpose of serving small niches that won't attract big mining
fluffypony: the ones that need to peg to another blockchain for security
BingoBoingo: FoOdies5: Not really, the market forces merged mining brings a lot of coins to an early slaughter.
BingoBoingo: Larger miners have an incentive to dump immediately
FoOdies5: so that via merged mining they secure their chain in exchange for a part of their reward
FoOdies5: merged mining + lower coinbase for auxpow
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: if it becomes the "in thing" to use your own cryptocurrency for loyalty systems we may see more of this
FoOdies5: they need to offer as much as they're willing to get dumped
BingoBoingo: FoOdies5: There's also the chance that the big miner that picks up a coin for Merged mining won't be friendly to it, see CoiledCoin as an early example

ben_vulpes: man can we yet drop this btc thing and just start using integer satoshi plz?
fluffypony: ben_vulpes: we first have to move to "Bits"
fluffypony: did you hear about the Blockchain.info iOS wallet?
fluffypony: but not before people made payments that were 1/100000 of what they meant to pay
ben_vulpes: mediocre engineers as far as the eyes can see
ben_vulpes sticks his head back into the code-sands
fluffypony: this is the problem that occurs when "functional tests" involve "I can send and receive 0.0005 BTC"
FoOdies5: people will fuck up when they have a gazillion decimals to work with

FoOdies5: are all crypto enthusiasts doing drugs ?
fluffypony: how am I ever going to be able to say :"just send ma 4.3743 BongBitcoin"
BingoBoingo: FoOdies5: The short story of CoiledCoin is you need to find and read the long story to understand the things making lowercase altcoins fail have been happening for a long time as the Coiled Coin story makes an interesting contrast to other altcoins which were its contemporaries and still died albeit in other ways
BingoBoingo: This current drama with Doge, LTC, ethereum et al happened before 2-3 years ago
neuroMode: BingoBoingo, do you have a good link for CoiledCoin?
FoOdies5: the dev is basically saying Luke-Jr is a douche in the op
BingoBoingo: neuroMode: Maybe? Maybe the searching is part of the point? Searching gets you the failure of its comtemporaries as well if you dig right
BingoBoingo: FoOdies5: You merely found the post. Find the narrative, the story behind it.
