BingoBoingo: I don't remember you writing for the other place since qntra was born, gotta have that blue balls
HeySteve: I started up my own site, coinlife.me
HeySteve: it's about Bitcoin but as non-technical as it gets
HeySteve: and yeah, I left CCN before the Garza scandal broke
BingoBoingo: You are the only motherfucker who made it out, and why? You saw the stupid and left.
BingoBoingo: I though am interested in your new bitcoin"lifestyle site
HeySteve: yeah I'm trying to get that profitable so I can expand
HeySteve: saw an article no one else is covering
BingoBoingo: It is a good thing to do. If you see interesting angles on news, feel free to collect some equity in qntra.
BingoBoingo: A lot of other people seriously undervalue the sort of history you have.
HeySteve: ok excellent, thanks for the offer and I'll certainly take you up on it if and when I find a good story
BingoBoingo: It is an offer of the sort open to a lot of people in varying degrees. To you it is especially open.
BingoBoingo: Stuff already news'd that you have a smart commentary on is an opening you have that not many others do.
HeySteve: well, my current "serious" project is trying to defeat property rental fraud using cryptocurrency
HeySteve: BitShares specifically, which I realise is an unpopular topic around here, but perhaps something interesting may come of that
punkman: what is property rental fraud?
HeySteve: when a landlord retains a tenant's rental deposit without justification. very common around the world and hard to challenge legally
☟︎ BingoBoingo: HeySteve: Bitshares is more looked down on for its nature than its applications, not quite, but close to Ether uffing hate
BingoBoingo: The way though to actually beat rental fraud is allodial title and an army
HeySteve: yeah, in an ideal world I'd code up my own application but...
punkman: HeySteve: they usually have justification, don't they?
HeySteve: researching alloidal title, thanks
HeySteve: punkman, it varies. often they overcharge for minor damages or make a point of being absent when the tenant is required to return the keys
☟︎ punkman: sure, they overcharge. how does bitshares help?
HeySteve: right, well my idea is to escrow the rental deposit
punkman: UK gov does escrow for rental deposits these days
HeySteve: and the fiat-pegged assets with multisig which BTS allows "out the box" will help keep things simple for the public and myself alike
HeySteve: didn't know that, punkman, there's clearly a need for it in the developing world
HeySteve: this sort of fraud is rampant here in South Africa and from what I've heard from people, common in Israel too
☟︎ HeySteve: thanks, that's good information. here it's also required that the deposit be kept in an interest bearing account, which adds another wrinklle
punkman: HeySteve: what are the incentives for the landlord though?
HeySteve: good question. for a dishonest landlord, there are only disincentives. for an honest one, I'm still considering... obvious option is to require a larger deposit
punkman: were I renting houses to orcs, I'd definitely not opt-in to any such scheme
HeySteve: if the scheme takes off, it's also a way for honest landlords to attract tenants by declaring their compliance to a standard
☟︎ HeySteve: punkman, well damage or non-payment will definitely be punished
HeySteve: I'll require evidence from tenant and landlord at start and end of contract and arbitrate based on that
☟︎ HeySteve: it's also possible to open the arbitration to a jury of sorts through hierarchial multisig
BingoBoingo: <HeySteve> this sort of fraud is rampant here in South Africa and from what I've heard from people, common in Israel too << Oh you are in fluffypony land?

BingoBoingo: I want a piece that says why with appropriate vitriol
punkman: BingoBoingo: why not write it then?
HeySteve: mmm sounds like a lot of research for me to take on right now
BingoBoingo: punkman: Because honestly. Actual people aren;t losing their shirts on this. Great chance though for marginally people to work towards becoming actual people by demonstrating a knowledge of how the scamception works.
HeySteve: I did question the folks opening up Starbucks about whether they'll accept the Fold app as in like 10 other countries
BingoBoingo: HeySteve: You could do this with more time flipping through sources than reading sources.
HeySteve: well, it does sound like you have a better handle on it. I've never even looked at Factom
BingoBoingo: I am actually more than a tiny bit disappointed that I drop for the crowd a vagina that could queef qntra shares to the extent someone is willing to solidly pump it and... the interest is low
HeySteve: BingoBoingo, problem is I'm not comfortable calling something a scam until I'm 100% sure
BingoBoingo: HeySteve: I don't hava a handle on it. I'm not sure it is news at all. It is scam on many levels. My only reservation and the source of my disinterest is... I'm not sure actual people are affected
HeySteve: I've been looking at BTS for weeks and I've still not reached a final verdict
punkman: chukcha not writer, chukcha reader

I am worried though that Qntra is crossing into its second year and people don't want a giftwrapped chance to write a first story. Is qntra insufficiently established or does this seem too much of a trap. I the cost of fucking up in #b-a seeming too high? I am confused.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: HeySteve: Some of that. It goes deep like Micheal Bay filming Alice in WOnderland
punkman: risk of ruin from writing article seems nonexistant
BingoBoingo: punkman: There's actually lot of potential for ruin. What I want to know is how people can take that attitude towards risk and not find writng for qntra appealing
BingoBoingo: Writing for qntra is a solid way for people who think gud, but dun code gud to build #b-a cred
punkman: BingoBoingo: well as you said, not sure if it's news. especially considering there's a dozen or three Ether clones with same exact story
☟︎ HeySteve: perhaps the problem is "say this is a scam" vs "investigate whether this is a scam"
BingoBoingo: punkman: The particular scamcoin failing is not quite news, but a mechanistic documentation of why this one is failing is news.
BingoBoingo: punkman: also weren't you going to write something on Greece being a failed state like Ferguson at some point? Or is Greece still catching up?
BingoBoingo: BingoBoingo> ;;google site:qntra.net jizzmoppers
punkman: BingoBoingo: I'm not terribly informed on the situation, but I think I'll do a followup soon

Zuardi: hi, thanks, I am still catching up with all trilema posts and this channel's log :)
mircea_popescu: perhaps vaguely interesting to asciilifeform : in the comments of the original article (see
http://trilema.com/2011/europa-crestina-si-alte-aberatii/#comment-71835 etc) a very familiar mechanism is at work : christian dude (who is otherwise a very clever, and well respected, commenter there), after exhausting the attempts to plead to authority ("oh you aren't qualified to discuss ; oh merkel is from a party called chri
mircea_popescu: stian something and german technology is best" etc, moves on to proposing that i am trying to diminish the importance of x. ie, he is proposing that i accept the form of his argument (xtianity matters) and debate the conclusions, in his terms.
mircea_popescu: obviously i refuse this approach, but note the method for chrissakes. 2011, in obscure language, on obscure topic nobody gives a shit about.
mircea_popescu: to me this strictly means that the methods "of government" are merely the methods of educated stupidity, there's nothing else there. whenever a stupid part of one's worldview tries to avail itself of the power justly earned by other parts to maintain itself, you got a government talking. and it talks the same way EVERY TIME.
mircea_popescu: whether it's 300 million strong or just in one retired engineer's head, the same damned vocabulary, style and grammar.

mircea_popescu: It is the same guys, over and over again, each in their own space, and by default we assume they are the most knowledgeable, or the most rigorous; have the most information or are best able to remain objective. Or maybe we simply hope they'll be good enough.
mircea_popescu: But having the same guys means that we'll be getting the same philosophies, the same filters, the same phrases. We are guaranteeing not just groupthink, but we're allowing others to decide what we're going to talk about, how we'll talk about it. That's why "gay marriage" will disappear not when gays can marry but when a new set of media people get jobs and "gay marriage" isn't as interesting to them. The actual im

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to get to the bottom of this matter, let's approach it from a more convenient angle.
mircea_popescu: so, in some places/cultures, it is the habit that young men committing marriage PAY to the parents of the young bride a sum of money.
mircea_popescu: in some other places/cultures, the habit is the reverse : the parents pay the young man to take her.
mircea_popescu: in which of these two would you say the poor are being gypped ?
mircea_popescu: well obviously it's a trick question. in pastoral communities/other situations where the land is well under carrying capacity, the young man pays, because the old folk could have just drunk and made merry, but instead they put the effort into raising the filly / rose garden / whatever the dude's gonna enjoy. so they should get something for their trouble.
mircea_popescu: conversely, in lands at carrying capacity, the old dudes gotta pay the young dude for their unwarranted priviledge of having occupied a plot of land, which he can not do.
mircea_popescu: this, so as to prevent the young people from just burning the whole thing.
mircea_popescu: and when inheritance changes from male only to both children, as it did in post fedual sicily, the obligation moves from her parents (as he will inherit HIS parents but not hers) to "both parents" which quickly devolves into a sort of "what rich man in the comunity wishes to sponsor this festival"
mircea_popescu: aka, pay for all our sins, as we can't afford to do it. and so you get godfathers, and get to enjoy the movie. that's his role in the community : that he pays your blodgelt for you.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: these are tacit arrangements, you will notice : nobody bothered to type out nicely the rousseau contract of it all, nor bothered to ask the poor to sign, or even explain it to them. because fuck them they're not worth it.
mircea_popescu: but it is NEVER the case that the poor are being gypped by this. whatever the law of the land is, they're getting it back in some other form.
☟︎ davout: first part sorta reducing to "we'll give you money with the girl to make make rape and pillage less profitable than civilized marriage" ?
mircea_popescu: so, if here the landlords rent out for 10 a month but you gotta pay 10 in advance "as guarantee" and there they rent out for 11 a month but you don't,
mircea_popescu: and this obviously only affects the poor to any degree - if antinous had or hadn't a trousseau or if he had to pay some homonymous coins, hadrianus couldn't have cared less.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile - there are not enough rich people around to have the same sort of "what's done" thing going. and so they must have contracts.
mircea_popescu: but to say you can't afford contracts AND YET you think you were gypped is basically juust to swear and attest you're poor. of course you'd think that, that's why you're poor : cause you're stupid.
mircea_popescu: too stupid to understand how things work and why, dumb enough to focus on one metric and forget about the others ("hey, engagement is hard to measure!") etc.

mircea_popescu: "psychothis is underdiagnosed" is exactly like the court's idea that the population is juridically underserved. not so - you can't have things that are definitionally for the few (because the few don't benefit from the banal commonality of the many, soi they need something else to allow society to function).
mircea_popescu: in a world where evereyone's deemed a gentleman, you will need ~five times the population in lawyers. and it's all a colossal waste of time anwyay, only about 1% or so of the population actually gets in relationships complex enough to merit memorialization
mircea_popescu: which is what drives the de-professionalization of lawyers and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: out of line equalitarianism is at the root of ALL social ills in the western world today, not just one or another.
