mircea_popescu Apocalyptic as far as i know, stamp's problems in our heads all trace to kakobrekla not likeing them, which was a year ago and he never really explained past "i met them and they're fucktarded". [00:18]

kakobrekla go ahead and like them. [00:19]
jurov kako explained he has inside info about bitstamp being in mysql backed once a day or so [00:19]

mircea_popescu kakobrekla i ain't arguing, you speak their language. [00:19]

jborkl oh and now that -pr is banned, who is going to tell the 3 sock puppets they suck? [00:21]

cads mircea_popescu: I have all the marketing acumen of an aspergers kid. [00:40]
cads note how the idea that I compile a list of companies that might need my services and cold call them was like this huge epiphany for me :) [00:40]
mircea_popescu it shows. but srsly, it's a pretty large topic. [00:40]
mircea_popescu what are you doing even ? saas ? [00:40]
cads prototyping as a service [00:41]
mircea_popescu you don't coldcall something like that. [00:41]

mircea_popescu 5th wheel intern-ish girlies without clear responsibilities, which'd be the ones answering to a call like that, those you can seduce. [00:48]
cads really I know if we just go to a trade show and knock some people unconscious with our sturdy ass prototypes, we'll come away with at least people we can talk to without 99.999% failure [00:48]
mircea_popescu the rough equivalent being the it corp dudes that go to check out the babes at it conferences. [00:48]

ThickAsThieves might work better [00:49]
cads blah I'm going to read that article by extrapolating it from its title [00:49]

ThickAsThieves most conferences are scams [00:51]
cads where 90% of the crowd would probably kill to have booth babes [00:51]
mircea_popescu lmao [00:51]
mircea_popescu so why not get some booth babes ? [00:51]
ThickAsThieves who will talk to them to hire them? [00:51]
mircea_popescu how hard can it fucking be, freakin campuses. [00:51]
mircea_popescu o that. myeah. [00:51]
mircea_popescu "you" can have a girl hang around the whole day for the cost of two beers, except not YOU. [00:52]
cads lol, maybe a student organized math conference with cute undegrad booth babes is in order [00:52]
mircea_popescu cads do this as a power play. it's what i'd do if i were somehow inexplicably interested in math academia. [00:53]
cads the AMA and university bodies and others that organize math conferences tend to be way to conservative to take that as anything other than a joke [00:53]
mircea_popescu get the hottest 12 chicks to boothbabe topless, only invite to present those professors who you owe favours to. [00:53]
mircea_popescu kick out the dinosaurs, humiliatingly so. [00:53]
mircea_popescu before you know it, you now control peer review in your field. [00:53]

mircea_popescu sound familiar ? :D [00:55]
thestringpuller mircea_popescu: yea how would one use airgapping in production? [00:55]
thestringpuller would be a neat guide since I have yet to find a way to do it practically for something in production [00:56]
cads Other mathematicians that would publish with me would eventually measure themselves according to their Cads number. [00:56]
mircea_popescu thestringpuller well that general question has been answered in the general as best it could on the post man. [00:56]
mike_c how can i airgap my web server? [00:56]
mircea_popescu to actually implement it you hire someone to do it you know ? [00:56]
mircea_popescu you're asking "so how do i build my house". well... hire an architect ? [00:56]
cads the cads number - the number of times you've come up with a math breakthrough while recieving fellatio from one of my booth babes [00:56]

cads airgapping bothers me, but the way I'd use it is as a fully offline reference system [00:58]
mircea_popescu but the man doth have a point. i find it shocking that us pretend-academia will offer "women's studies" shit about that twerking girl, but there's no actual airgapping programme anywhere. [00:59]

mircea_popescu it's mostly used derrisively to bother anticultural and antiintellectual lines [02:23]

mircea_popescu (communists protested the nomination) [02:24]
asciilifeform cads: the two-nsa hypothesis is that the americans have a stable of folks with brains squirreled away somewhere [02:24]
asciilifeform it's mostly a product of my diseased imagination, but has some grounding in soviet history [02:24]
cads ... err, "squirreled away"? [02:25]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform actually, is there anything in russian by the guy ? [02:25]
asciilifeform nsa writes crapware for winblows, 'meta-nsa' then would do something interesting. [02:25]

cads ie, fiction - apparently we were dycyphering everything [02:31]

asciilifeform not from usb. [02:56]

bounce the keys I have here are all well before the large leaps around the time of the barefoot controller. perhaps should replace a few. then again, I'd get inferior flash. [02:58]
asciilifeform generally, the newer the 'flash', the more threadbare the actual eeprom cells [02:59]
asciilifeform in the sense that a recent 'ssd' would barely last a few thousand write cycles without leveling. [02:59]

ThickAsThieves mp, do you think you'll ever invest in mining infrastructure? do you think governments will? what if china controls all our coinz? [16:01]
mircea_popescu and we have the equivalent "exchanges", icbit, bitfinex etc [16:01]

mircea_popescu BingoBoingo they never were anything but blatant about it, weren't they ? [16:03]
chetty National Foundation for the bitcoin [16:03]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves that type of concern is vastly alleviated by the btc cap. we've already mined more than half the total. [16:03]
mircea_popescu nobody will control all the coins, too late for that. [16:03]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: They were blatant, but the weren't quite as refined in their Haxxed, coins are gone as Cryptostocks/Vircurex was where some separation was imagined [16:04]
mircea_popescu (this incidentally is one major point proponents of alternative coins don't realise. one of the most important permanence factors in a coin is just how well distributed the coinbase is. this is not something later coins will readilyt achieve, bitcoin achieved by accident [16:04]
ThickAsThieves i understand that much, but the mining ecosystem is its own thing [16:04]

mircea_popescu or not really accident, more like the interplay of will and understanding, as limited by reality - i demonstrated this once in here using asciilifeform as my victim) [16:05]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves sure, but not nearly as threatening [16:05]
ThickAsThieves for example, it's not absurd to think cex.io has more than 51% right now [16:05]
mircea_popescu why ? [16:05]
ThickAsThieves and is hiding the "excess" [16:05]
mircea_popescu cex is a minor player. [16:05]
mircea_popescu you may not know this, but there's a major miner bezzle market going [16:05]
BingoBoingo It's also not absurd to imagine cex.io doesn't have any hardware [16:05]
ThickAsThieves sorry by cex i mean ghash.io pool + the remainder [16:06]
mircea_popescu where people pay a slight premium to be allowed to pretend they mine by the actual miners. [16:06]
mircea_popescu this works to everyone's benefit : the actual miners get to conceal their mining, which they want to do [16:06]
ThickAsThieves i mean the remotely measurable stuff [16:06]
mircea_popescu the pretenders get to pretend like they matter, which ios really all they're interested in [16:06]
ThickAsThieves not reported bs [16:06]
mircea_popescu nothing is remotely measurable. [16:06]
mircea_popescu in mining. [16:06]
ThickAsThieves so the pool reports are a lie? [16:06]
mircea_popescu the connection between mining and identity is aribtrary. purely. [16:07]
mircea_popescu if i own 1petahash worth of mining gear, and we have a deal that you claim to own 1petahash worth of mining, we can work it so no third party can ever discover this. [16:07]
ThickAsThieves i agree [16:08]
ThickAsThieves but that goes to my point as much as yours [16:08]
mircea_popescu i want this, because a mine is a physical thing, it needs proxying. [16:08]
mircea_popescu you want this because you're a goat [16:08]

mircea_popescu so in your terms "if you think it is or you think it isn't, so what ?" [16:10]

ThickAsThieves maybe tackle from another angle, [16:11]
mircea_popescu aite. [16:11]

mircea_popescu up to a threshold. then it doesn't really matter [16:12]
ThickAsThieves a dynamic threshold? [16:12]
mircea_popescu possibly, depending what context you working in [16:12]

ThickAsThieves what i mean is, by my own understanding so far, it seems all things centralize over time. in the context of human civilization this is seen quite obviously in, probably, all things observable [16:21]
mircea_popescu things centralise as they die. [16:21]
BingoBoingo ThickAsThieves: COunterexample - Yugoslavia [16:22]

* jMyles (~slashroot@69.163.61.210) has joined #bitcoin-assets [16:22]
ThickAsThieves of course, the timeline for any given thing centralizing and dying is uknown [16:22]
mircea_popescu my own view of that cycle is something like : a cool thing makes inroads. the people doing the cool thing eventually die, their successors aim to maintain that greatness [16:22]
BingoBoingo ThickAsThieves: Counterexample - Rawandan Hotelliers [16:22]
mircea_popescu so they resort to the fuel available : centralising [16:22]
mircea_popescu and then eventually that runs out too and that's that. [16:22]
ThickAsThieves i think there that danger must exist in bitcoin somewhere [16:23]
asciilifeform incidentally, i was proclaimed an unrepentant spammer, years ago, by no less a spam god than pg (http://www.loper-os.org/?p=91) [16:23]

mircea_popescu let me underscore that the core devs of bitcoin are at conformal not at the scam foundation. [16:35]
antephialtic name one miner mining off of btcd [16:35]
mircea_popescu why ? [16:35]
BingoBoingo Actual miners are the least knowable thing in BTC [16:35]
antephialtic look at the commit log, they fix chain-splitting bugs constantly [16:35]
mircea_popescu yeah, when they're not hardforking the chain [16:36]
antephialtic mircea_popescu: as a grotesque consequence of the sad state of the bitcoin-core codebase, bitcoin-core is unreplaceable [16:36]
mircea_popescu you really don't want to go into utility. so far the pretend-core devs are a liability overall. [16:36]
mircea_popescu that nonsense has no currency here. [16:36]

mircea_popescu not since 1800s at least. [16:37]

mircea_popescu that's a case by case basis. in their case, it does not. [16:38]

mircea_popescu antephialtic in point of fact nobody sane uses their releases, most bitcoin is on .6 at the latest [16:38]
antephialtic asciilifeform: chain fork that happened [16:38]
mircea_popescu in this sense, if they went home today, or if they went home in 2013, it'd have made no difference [16:38]
mircea_popescu this is the definition of not useful. [16:38]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform: chain fork that happened << it didn't "happen". mike hearn manufactured it. [16:39]
mircea_popescu the rest of them enabled it. [16:39]
antephialtic I disagree, P2SH is actually a big improvement in security by making multisig not a huge bitch to use [16:39]
asciilifeform i remember this. and thought that other people did, too. [16:39]
mircea_popescu antephialtic you're sliding the conversation all over the place. [16:39]
antephialtic well, my overall point (which you disagree with me on) is that the core devs provide value to all bitcoin users. [16:40]
mircea_popescu indeed, i fully disagree with that point. [16:40]
BingoBoingo I dunno that easy ECDSA multisig is a feature and not a "feature" [16:40]
mircea_popescu overall, they're a slight liability so far, and the trend is negative [16:40]
mircea_popescu they'll be a major liability this time next year, at the rate they're going. [16:40]
asciilifeform the core devs remind me of vagrants who pour water on cars at stoplights and then demand money for the 'wash.' [16:40]
ThickAsThieves i concur, i feel like they trailblazing in the dark toward a cliff [16:40]
mircea_popescu actually that's exactly it. vagrants with dirty rags at ny stop lights. [16:40]

He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia, and he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler as he is forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion.

mircea_popescu Legitimate Customers [21:52]
mircea_popescu You can’t stop all fraud. Some will get through your defenses. Currency exchange profit margins are too narrow to absorb much of it, so you need a healthy legitimate customer base across whom you can distribute those costs. As chargebacks come in, it’s tempting to focus entirely on eliminating fraud. Unfortunately, that focus inconveniences legitimate customers so much that they go elsewhere. [21:52]

mircea_popescu "mp arrested for the crime of being mean to forum dwellers and bureaucrats" [22:37]
mircea_popescu sounds like a ton of publicity. [22:37]
nubbins` pLambert expound plz [22:38]
mircea_popescu while he does i wanna pontificate on the following theme : [22:39]
pLambert well, say you have some shares of s.mpoe. If mp gets arrested, their price will go down, I think. so if you bet that mp will get arrested, it will offset the loss from your shares? [22:39]
mircea_popescu since about the 90s or so, basic us education has been filtering quite perversely : you get an a or a+ for succeeding at the task, usually an a or rarely a b "for effort" by delivering a credible simulacra of having tried, and an f or rarely a c for actually trying and failing. [22:39]
nubbins` well you're making some assumptions there [22:39]
nubbins` namely that bitbet would continue to function [22:39]
mircea_popescu this has resulted in a generationful of people who can do nothing but and nothing other than "convincingly" trying. [22:40]
pLambert heh, good point. I assume it will function without mp? [22:40]
nubbins` mircea_popescu the true horror of this situation won't be realized for another few decades [22:40]
mircea_popescu pLambert if one then why not the other as well ? [22:40]
nubbins` ^ [22:41]
nubbins` conversely, if not mpoe, why not bitbet? [22:41]
pLambert failling and shares dropping are not exactly the same [22:41]
mircea_popescu nubbins` indeed. i routinely meet 20somethings who have not actually tried ANYTHING the past decade. [22:41]

jborkl mircea, to go along with your point - I send my kids to private school 6 and 4 years old. The 6 year old can do algebra, multiplication, read, write and knows some of the periodic table < public school peers are very far behind [22:42]
mircea_popescu i believe you. [22:42]
mircea_popescu where's this ? [22:42]
nubbins` all childs left behind [22:42]
mircea_popescu nubbins` exactly like venezuela, you knoiw ? "we've reduced inequality, everyone has the same amt of toilet paper now" [22:43]
nubbins` pLambert: so mp gets rendered, bitbet.us shows a DoJ logo. what now? [22:43]
jborkl Texas, the state has a robin hood theory [22:43]
jborkl to take from wealthy districts to prop up the poor [22:43]
nubbins` mircea_popescu "if you don't have enough toilet paper feel free to use the barrel of this rifle" [22:43]
mircea_popescu bitbet2.us pops up. [22:43]

assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 20 @ 0.06059002 = 1.2118 BTC [-] {2} [22:44]
nubbins` tbh seizing domains is such a non-problem [22:44]
mircea_popescu no but this is the beauty of it. bitbet is... well... public. [22:44]
mircea_popescu there's nothing to steal. [22:44]
nubbins` i mean, look at the pirate bay. most reviled website in history [22:45]
mircea_popescu redirect it all you want, tomorrow any one of you can host it just as well. [22:45]
nubbins` still standing 11 years later [22:45]
pankkake http://thepiratebay.se/legal [22:46]
nubbins` ^^^ [22:46]
bounce it is a problem if, say, kansas or ohio judges order domains seized from overseas companies that do things perfectly legal there [22:46]
mircea_popescu did they updarte it ? [22:46]
mircea_popescu i recall that page was hilarious a decade ago [22:46]
pankkake I don't think there's new stuff [22:47]
nubbins` bounce: it's a .us domain, they can do what they want with it :P [22:47]
* Kushed has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [22:47]
pankkake TPB isn't such a high profile target anymore too [22:47]
nubbins` that said, who cares what TLD is used [22:47]
bounce (relatedly, peeps getting into a right tizzy for having their .ly domains rescinded because they're clearly against the local customs in .ly) [22:47]
nubbins` pankkake mostly because they realized they were trying to box the wind [22:47]

nubbins` doesn't quite matter how good your left hook is, y'know? [22:47]
mircea_popescu pankkake what's strangest to my eyes, really, is that in 2004 the attitude of piratebay was directly obvious to the average net denizen. [22:48]
nubbins` ;;google .ly tld [22:48]
gribble .ly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: ; NIC.LY - Libya ccTLD...: ; ly Domains - International Domain Registration: [22:48]
bounce 'twas .com and .net, IIRC. those aren't supposed to be ".us", it was just that the registrar is conveniently a us company [22:48]
nubbins` libya! [22:48]
mircea_popescu today, the attitude of tardstalk is quite the opposite [22:48]
mircea_popescu what a coupla bad us presidents do to the world. [22:48]
pankkake maybe money is the root of all evil [22:48]
mircea_popescu either that or lazy stupidity. [22:48]
nubbins` nah [22:49]
nubbins` the root of money is the root of all evil [22:49]
bounce what's that say about the bunch that breathe the "follow the money" mantra and came up with AML? [22:49]
nubbins` might as well take it to brass tacks [22:49]
Mats_cd03 my dong is the root of all evil [22:50]
nubbins` Mats_cd03 is that because it's the size of a stack of dimes? [22:50]
pankkake nubbins`: yes, this as been tpb's strategy too: it DECENTRALIZED itself!!! [22:50]
* nubbins` cackles [22:50]
nubbins` ;;google jumpin jesus tonight [22:51]
gribble 'Jumping Jesus' snowbound video prompts worldwide laughs ... - CBC: ; Canadian has a typical 'Irish mammy' reaction to her son getting ...: ; 'Jumping Jesus' snowbound video prompts (1 more message) [22:51]
