mircea_popescu: of course, they manage to not even correctly state the choice.
mircea_popescu: obviously if given the incorrectly statement "choice is obvious". a whole new mode of rational failure the us invented, "begging "the obvious" choice", similar to "begging the question"
Namworld: It might be that facebook ad bots don't tend to have Bitcoin in their interest... at least yet. Hence why demographic looks accurate.
mircea_popescu: but the actual choice is between "destroying the long term viability of the coin through introducing precedent - certain to be followed - of converting it overnight into a centrally owned resource" and "destroying the long term viability of the coin through introducing precedent of arbitrarily lost funds"
mircea_popescu: neither of these being either obvious or desirable, and their conjunction being why the coin in question - stellar or whatever - is dead.
mircea_popescu: Namworld how did you select that demo exactly ?
asciilifeform: first comment in above link has it: 'How'd you centralize your decentralized system? It sounds like something that shouldn't be possible unless it's actually centralized to begin with.'
punkman: I don't think Stellar was ever decentralized. They just had more than one server.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nm that!
gernika: punkman: polycentralized. Now it's just monodecentralized.
asciilifeform: recall the 'software does not wear out' article.
asciilifeform: if you can do the 'centralize' trick, it was always defective.
punkman: asciilifeform: you could run your own private bitcoin, or private Tor network, or whatever
asciilifeform: (not because there had to be a mechanical defense against it. no mechanical pill against 'buy all the coins and throw into the sea.' but attempting this gambit, given a properly-designed coin, should cost above $maxint.)
Namworld: Just by selecting people that have "Bitcoin" in their interests.
mircea_popescu: o by hand ?
asciilifeform: punkman: anyone using such a thing deserves what he gets
Namworld: No, just by adding the term Bitcoin to targeting. So basically people that liked pages and so on or occasionally mention the term "Bitcoin", I believe.
Namworld: So unless there's other Bitcoin advertisers running bots, unlikely to target bot accounts. But stats still points to dodgy stuff. So I guess the majority is still bots.
