mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in other lulz, other than trying to push bitcoin crash as an implicit alternative, bitpay finally dropped bitcoin payments in favour of some nonsense "payment protocol" they developed in-house.
☟︎ shinohai: The Bitpay thing is lulzy, they are charging a fee for BTC tx;'s and calling it a "network fee" instead of "this is some arbitrary fee we made up"
mircea_popescu: yeah. after years of trying to "establish" the usual bullcrap ("brand"!!!) they finally moved to the switch part of the bait-and-switch.
mircea_popescu: but hey, being able to inflict major business loss upon an idiot like that in a situation like that is the whole reason why one wants to be rich in the first place.
mircea_popescu: "oh, i wonder what happened" "let's have a brainstorming about it" "oh, good idea. but can we say what actually happened ?" "no wai!"
shinohai: Is anyone else that has used Bitpay gotten the message where you have to have a compatible btc client open to make payment? Last I tried it wouldn't let you copy the actual btc addy, you had to either scan a qr or let system open your client.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo in other lulz, other than trying to push bitcoin crash as an implicit alternative, bitpay finally dropped bitcoin payments in favour of some nonsense "payment protocol" they developed in-house. << AHA, yeah the PRB v 0.9 thing
BingoBoingo: Nah, that was a 2013 thing, the payment protocol turd Buttpay suddenly decided to try forcing
mircea_popescu: i guess they were looking for a good excuse to go out.
BingoBoingo: Possibru? I spotted frogthing walking with girl, thought about relaying the story on IRC then realized, this is what cameras are for.
shinohai: You should have asked to see his cedula, verify that is indeed Senor Pepe.
mircea_popescu: in other news, holy shit tuna is great here. $25 will buy you a kg of such fine fresh stuff as i've ever seen.
