mircea_popescu thestringpuller yeah ideally the wiki should end up a sort of short story of all the blawgs. [00:00]
* JorgePasada_ is now known as JorgePasada [00:00]

benkay he can up hisself, fluffypony [00:00]
mircea_popescu yes, this is true, money changers didn't traditionally run like banks. [00:00]
fluffypony benkay: yes but I want to talk to him [00:01]
JorgePasada benkay: Not gonna make the meetup tonight, I'll be down later in the week though [00:01]
benkay see you sometime, frere. [00:01]
fluffypony JorgePasada: I see our friends in the Neo&Bee thread don't understand that when you and I say "creditor" we mean "creditor" and not "investor" [00:01]

mircea_popescu the mystery lemma of -assets is that no matter in what asshole of the world any one assetteer lives, there's at least one that lives within visiting distance. [00:01]
mircea_popescu it's almost as if we inhabit a theoretical topological construct rather than irl. [00:02]

JorgePasada fluffypony: People throw words around with absolute certainty and complete disregard for actual meaning [00:03]
* fluffypony nods [00:03]
JorgePasada and the worst part is they don't even try to question their own understanding and/or more accurately drill down on meaning [00:04]
mircea_popescu bitcoinpete: eventually, i see fewer people walking into bitcoin (and assets) like they own the place << kinda what i'm trying to get with the trouting various clueless twits a la courtois. "it ain't yo momma's btc, yo! show some respek!" [00:05]

ozbot Nicolas T. COURTOIS' research in cryptography [00:07]

JorgePasada mircea_popescu: Is that the Intellectual consistency through ignorance approach? [00:07]
asciilifeform GOST !?! [00:07]
mircea_popescu he has an entire list of derp there. "On Subversive Miner Strategies and Block Withholding Attack in Bitcoin Digital Currency" [00:07]

mircea_popescu JorgePasada yup. can't be beat. [00:08]

mircea_popescu i must admit i never looked at one since 2005 or w/e it moved [00:09]
asciilifeform didn't miss much. [00:09]
mircea_popescu but in the 80s i recall it being somewhat of a big deal [00:09]
mircea_popescu course, 80s cryptology. heh. [00:09]
JorgePasada mircea_popescu: The scary part is when they fit data to their ideas/ideals instead of the other way around [00:10]
JorgePasada Hard not to though [00:10]
* mircea_popescu puts on his metaphysician hat. JorgePasada nothing that necessarily is could be scary, necessarily [00:10]
asciilifeform as far as i can see, this fellow's a genuine, if unimaginative crypto type. and bitcoin is now part of the mandatory 'gentleman's set' of topics such a creature must at least pretend to show an interest in. hence paper. [00:11]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform exactly. [00:11]
JorgePasada :-) Too meta for today, I'm in getting shit done mode before this Amsterdam trip. [00:11]
mircea_popescu and the way he goers about it makes one fucking petrified of these folks' general competence and ability as displayed at the daily business of their chosen field. [00:11]
asciilifeform this is a sadder discovery than i expected - (expected a green grad student or somesuch) [00:11]
mircea_popescu it's as if you were a woman, and visited gynecologists monthly, until one day when you discovered they decided football was part of gynecology, and then kept running into one another on the field like drunk sperms. [00:12]

asciilifeform these actually happen in usa [00:39]
mircea_popescu "Today was the first day in a long time I actually took phones away. I have no idea what all was included in the update, but you would have thought it was crack. They seriously could not keep away from it. I even had one girl crawl under the table with her phone." [00:40]
mircea_popescu lol crack. [00:40]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform they happen more in italy. [00:40]
asciilifeform to folks with this particular form of brain damage, garbageman should seem like the height of occupational importance pyramid [00:40]
* only (~only@gateway/tor-sasl/only) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:40]
mircea_popescu but a garbageman does something useful. a kindergarten teacher perhaps, some places. NOT in ussr, and not in ussa tho. most emphatically not. [00:40]
asciilifeform in ussr they at least occasionally administered medicinal beatings [00:41]
mircea_popescu nothing medicinal about beating 3 yos. [00:41]
mircea_popescu too soon. [00:41]
mircea_popescu children are born cowardly, if your preschooler can't be controlled by scowling you need to work on your warface. [00:41]
asciilifeform 3yo should learn to see a (correctly sized) thrashing as something ordinary [00:42]
mike_c +1 i can stop my son in his tracks with my warface. [00:42]
mircea_popescu maybe with a newspaper, asciilifeform [00:42]
asciilifeform plastic ruler, more traditional [00:42]
mircea_popescu i mean, i think we know i'm no priss, and so im not speaking from some locus of nonsensical ideology. [00:42]
mircea_popescu but teh beating of single digit aged ppls is dysfunctional. [00:43]
asciilifeform ussr was set up as bone-simple, rather than optimal, apparatus. [00:43]
mircea_popescu this is true. [00:43]
asciilifeform re: drone competition - flying machine enthusiasts are surprisingly tradition-bound [00:44]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo iirc he said something or the other about some stadium accident. beautyon has the story. [00:44]
BingoBoingo Ah [00:45]
asciilifeform i've yet to meet one that would take seriously the idea of using a 'spaceball' for control, in place of the nonsensical double mini-joystick (inherited from model cars!) [00:45]
mircea_popescu that's weird... [00:45]
* dexX7 (~dexX7@unaffiliated/dexx7) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:45]
asciilifeform 'spaceball' is a beautiful thing. not to be confused with trackball [00:45]
asciilifeform it doesn't rotate freely in its pedestal - only twists. along any axis. [00:46]
mircea_popescu i imagined surely they must have smartphone accelerometer as an interface [00:46]
mircea_popescu perhaps the dominant one by now [00:46]
asciilifeform at least one toy store variant does [00:46]
* AndrewJackson (~AndrewJac@117.10.233.220.static.exetel.com.au) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:46]
asciilifeform hard to control throttle / accessories that way, though [00:46]
mircea_popescu anyway, stupid for spaceball to not market itself as "magic wand" [00:46]
mircea_popescu add a stick to the ball. [00:46]
asciilifeform tilted phone is also difficult to return to neutral [00:47]
asciilifeform whereas spaceball need only be released [00:47]
asciilifeform this is why the ball needs pedestal [00:47]
asciilifeform (spaceball is visible in my ancient robo-widget spam - http://www.molboxllc.com/products.html) [00:47]
mircea_popescu "At that point I took all the phones away and we had a little reminder chat about when it was appropriate to use your phone and when it was not. Also that it was rarely appropriate to hide under the table." chetty check this out : no longer appropriate to hide under desk in the us school system. [00:48]

asciilifeform sitting under desk - wasn't an entirely dumb idea. [00:50]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform seems that way to me. you'd want your butt over your head, not your head over your butt [00:50]
mircea_popescu tho gonads further complicate matters. [00:51]
asciilifeform afaik, that was specified [00:51]
asciilifeform once you see the flash, gonads are well-done [00:51]
mircea_popescu i guess the ideal underdesk packing would be butt, head, then torso atop and limbs atop that [00:51]
mircea_popescu once you see the flash, gonads are well-done << this is quite not true, actually. [00:51]
asciilifeform clearly depends on distance, etc [00:52]
mircea_popescu of course. [00:52]
asciilifeform anyone own one of those old 'nuke calculator' slide rules? [00:52]
mircea_popescu moreover, looky here : suppose you are a woman, for some reason. you are born with all your sex cells. [00:52]

mircea_popescu those will never mature [00:52]
mircea_popescu the remaining tho, will. [00:52]
mircea_popescu so you'll still be ovulating, esp as a young woman, no matter the dose. [00:52]
asciilifeform sure. question is, ovulating what. [00:53]
mircea_popescu not much of a question. [00:53]
benkay sorry to interrupt but this is just too lulzy: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2699338/phps-openssl-sign-generates-different-signature-than-sscryptos-sign [00:53]
mircea_popescu for the ovule to manage to come out it needs to pass a bunch of checks. [00:53]
asciilifeform so hypothesis here - hiroshima mutations are fallout effect, rather than xray? [00:54]
asciilifeform this is testable. [00:54]

asciilifeform birth mutants, or no - ? [00:55]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform to a large degree, it hurts the fetuses, not the kids-to-be-born later [00:56]
mircea_popescu because fetuses rapidly divide [00:56]
asciilifeform checksums, sure. [00:56]
asciilifeform amplification of defect [00:56]
mircea_popescu it further hurts later conceptions because of the inside the womb radiation [00:56]
mircea_popescu (from say cesium lodged in the woman's basin) [00:56]
asciilifeform somewhere there lives an answer to this question. but i've a dump truck to move. [00:56]
mircea_popescu it's well known that airplane pilots tend to father girls [00:57]
mircea_popescu this, because cosmic rays kill the weaker male making sperm [00:57]
mircea_popescu the girls they make, however, are healthy. [00:57]
mircea_popescu benkay tweeted tat shit. lawl. [00:57]
chetty now why would male making sperm tend to be weaker? its an interesting question .. [00:59]
mircea_popescu because the male chromosome sucks and is larger and derpier [00:59]

mircea_popescu mod6 lol [02:23]
ThickAsThieves some guys mic the mix out of the monitors [02:23]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves so basically this "industry" is not so unlike bitcoin biznis industry [02:24]
mircea_popescu aesthetically driven technologies [02:24]
ThickAsThieves somewhat [02:24]
mod6 ;) [02:24]
ThickAsThieves this is partly why i tried (and failed) to get stan interested in designing gear [02:24]
ThickAsThieves he'd probably rape the scene [02:24]
mircea_popescu just the offense this discussion brings to any serious ee may have him change his mind. [02:25]
ThickAsThieves people have like 1000-post-long threads about digital converter chips [02:25]
ThickAsThieves about noise from cabling [02:25]
ThickAsThieves etc [02:25]
ThickAsThieves they cream over vintage stuff because new shit is all crap [02:26]
ThickAsThieves hell, they cream over plugins that emulate vintage gear [02:26]
benkay dem vacuum tubes [02:26]
mod6 <+ThickAsThieves> hell, they cream over plugins that emulate vintage gear << haha [02:27]
kakobrekla ThickAsThieves a lot of that is bullshit, a lot of it isnt. [02:27]

ThickAsThieves nig too though [02:27]

ThickAsThieves ive easily got $10k in plugins [02:28]
ThickAsThieves like bitcoin, it's also a vast learning space [02:28]
ThickAsThieves it was the object of my obsession til i found you guys [02:29]
kakobrekla and now you are also done with btc finance? [02:29]
ThickAsThieves and til i invented investment banking ;) [02:29]
kakobrekla (taken from your blog) [02:29]

mircea_popescu lol [02:30]
ThickAsThieves but moving back to music [02:30]
mircea_popescu well, let's hope music gets regulated in the us then [02:30]
mircea_popescu just for my own personal lulzfest. [02:30]

fluffypony lol [02:37]
ThickAsThieves correct fluffy, my recent years were focused on making "rap beats" [02:37]
fluffypony step into my parlour, said the spider to the fly [02:37]
ThickAsThieves and recording local rappers [02:37]
fluffypony ThickAsThieves: that's helluva interesting, way out of my field of knowledge [02:37]
ThickAsThieves this may be still on the table, but I'm currently researching the video game music industry [02:37]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves but basically, any "artist" is just called "a band" in my admittedly living in the past head. [02:38]
ThickAsThieves i did a few songs for a garage game [02:38]
fluffypony but based on some trivial readings I believe the major aim is authenticity - what goes on to the master (digital or otherwise) must be as close to reality as possible, let post-processing be done in playback [02:38]
mircea_popescu fluffypony there's not really such a thing as "authentic" sound. [02:38]

ThickAsThieves the most recent almbum i was working on, [02:39]
fluffypony mircea_popescu: for real, audiophile stuff is way over my head anyway [02:39]
ThickAsThieves was to have 2 mixes [02:39]
ThickAsThieves one for open air, and one for headphones [02:40]
ThickAsThieves where i would specify the headphones used [02:40]

ThickAsThieves which got me to wondering why we dont see "ipod" mixes [02:40]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves this is a good thing to do, but not for the direct reason. for the marketing meta-reason instead : [02:40]
mircea_popescu it'll keep the fans endlessly occupied with a fun debate [02:40]
ThickAsThieves right [02:40]
mircea_popescu which will mean they will never have awkward silences discussing your shit [02:40]
mircea_popescu which will mean that's all they'll want to talk about. [02:40]
mircea_popescu win. [02:41]
ThickAsThieves it was very integreated with marketing of the album [02:41]
ThickAsThieves it was called Headphone Music [02:41]
ThickAsThieves hehe [02:41]
ThickAsThieves i'm exploring my next steps via research and planning [02:41]
ThickAsThieves i have more twisty ideas like that about having a music business [02:42]
ThickAsThieves it's pretty much necessary [02:42]
ThickAsThieves to have any hope of profit [02:42]
ThickAsThieves hence having an eye on video games over rap beats [02:42]
ThickAsThieves the market is thriving and exists [02:42]
ThickAsThieves whereas rap producers mostly spend money [02:42]

ThickAsThieves well when you start doing soundtracks there is other related work [02:44]
ThickAsThieves sfx, voice recording/acting [02:45]
mircea_popescu the (imo incredibly cool) voice acting including in present eulora was... a freebie. [02:45]
ThickAsThieves sure, and i intend to offer some freebies initially [02:45]
mircea_popescu so does everyone else. perpetually. [02:46]
mircea_popescu see hansen [02:46]
ThickAsThieves yes, but not all companies are interested in free [02:46]
ThickAsThieves and not all freebie offerers stay that way [02:46]
ThickAsThieves nor need to [02:46]
ThickAsThieves i have some thoughts i'm fleshing out to address that as well [02:47]
mircea_popescu you can argue this with me till either of us get bored. point remains : this isn't a business, it's a hobby. [02:47]
ThickAsThieves you think a audio production company is a unicorn? [02:48]
mircea_popescu this market is deader than disco, you might as well build a time machine to go back to 1982 to buy buffett's textile business. [02:49]
mircea_popescu for great victory! [02:49]
ThickAsThieves (please note that i havent necessarily commited to treating this as more than a hobby, that's why i'm exploring it on paper first) [02:49]
ThickAsThieves i havent convinced myself yet either [02:49]
mircea_popescu sure. [02:49]
ThickAsThieves but as i work i am at leats finding angles [02:50]
mircea_popescu there's no angle to be found to go around the simple fact that nobody is willing to pay to listen to some music. [02:50]
mircea_popescu they'd rather expect you to pay them [02:50]
ThickAsThieves i dont disagree, but you also think video game company wouldnt pay to have a dedicate audio artist or team on their project? [02:51]

mircea_popescu that's the clear proof that the thing is run as a lottery, and most everyone involved pays to participate. [02:55]
ThickAsThieves i dont think that video game music is very starstruck [02:55]
ThickAsThieves they mostly go unappreciated [02:55]
mircea_popescu you went to iphone kindgom. [02:55]
ThickAsThieves even teh FF series, probablty the most popular soundtracks, i bet less than 10% of buyers could name 1 composer [02:56]

ThickAsThieves mostly this is in contrast to rap beat production, it is all about the stars [02:57]
ThickAsThieves and i have very little hope of profit in that area [02:58]
mircea_popescu sorta like how hans zimmer does like 80% of movie soundtracks that are any good. [02:58]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves if i were to wager a guess, rap beats is a crystal ball thing. [02:58]
mircea_popescu ie, if you suck a major rap artist's cock (the mage) and he deigns to call you his crystal ball, [02:58]
mircea_popescu then you can make a killing selling to the wananbes [02:58]
ThickAsThieves these days you have to pretty much hand over a finished song that just needs to rap verses [02:59]

DrewHorne basically my idea involves moreso a fiat investment rather than a bitcoin investment for starters, especially since it is over a 5 year period. I am very much of the opinion however that there are forward thinking and open minded investors of all sorts in the bitcoin space [03:35]
mircea_popescu i'd rather have the later. [03:35]
ThickAsThieves Couldn't kako also dynamically create the title to be that? [03:36]
Jezzz surely [03:36]
mike_c you'll have to add up all the bets yourself because kako said so :) [03:36]
Jezzz also, if you've got to provide the entire link, not sure that's a real handy shortcut [03:36]
benkay 677 is the unique id, Jezzz mircea_popescu [03:36]
ThickAsThieves it should be kako's penance for his affiliate scam [03:36]
Jezzz but if everyone wants it, i'll code it up [03:36]
benkay bitbet.us/bet/677 [03:36]
mircea_popescu yes that works [03:37]
benkay mircea_popescu wants it, Jezzz [03:37]
DrewHorne also some parts of the strategy are confidential, and would only be on the table for discussion after signing a mutual NDA and mutually confirming our identities [03:37]
Jezzz how about .bitbet 677 [03:37]

DrewHorne BUT the investment has a 6000% return, looking for $1,250,000 USD in exchange for 30% equity of a company we will sell for $250,000,000 in 5 years [03:37]
ThickAsThieves Drew if any of the secrets you keep are require dknowledge to vet your plan, then we cant help you [03:37]
mircea_popescu alternatively, kako could indeed change the title. [03:37]
Jezzz like .bitbet bastille [03:37]
Jezzz or similar [03:37]
mike_c you already grabbing URLs, should be easy to regex bitbet urls and do something different, no? [03:38]
mircea_popescu im not sure that'd be useful tbh [03:38]
Jezzz mike_c: yep [03:38]
ThickAsThieves also, if you lead with your hands out, that doesnt help [03:38]
mircea_popescu basically my idea involves moreso a fiat investment rather than a bitcoin investment for starters, << so that's the end of the discussion. [03:38]
* Jezzz shoos DrewHorne to #fiat-assets [03:38]
DrewHorne this is true, hence I am in a bit of a paradox here. [03:38]
DrewHorne ill check it out jezzz thanks [03:38]
ThickAsThieves paradox isnt the right word [03:39]
Jezzz joking DrewHorne [03:39]
mircea_popescu the paradox is entirely of your own making. [03:39]
mircea_popescu you're in the barber shop explaining you want clothes made. [03:39]
DrewHorne is that a real freenode lol jezzz [03:39]
mircea_popescu how is this a paradox ? [03:39]
ThickAsThieves what you are is an opportunist [03:39]
mircea_popescu BUT the investment has a 6000% return, looking for $1,250,000 USD in exchange for 30% equity of a company we will sell for $250,000,000 in 5 years << this should go in my list of "stupid things one should never say" [03:40]
ThickAsThieves you are more excited to share what you want from people, than what you have to offer them [03:40]
ThickAsThieves maybe he watches too much Shark Tank [03:40]
ThickAsThieves I think they lead with the ask [03:40]
DrewHorne was i not sharing both equally by simultaneously sharing what I want and how it would benefit them? [03:40]
mircea_popescu upon consideration, i think jezz has a very valid point. it's not ozbot that should change. [03:40]
DrewHorne and i actually don't watch any TV really [03:41]

mircea_popescu it's bitbet. kakobrekla can we make individual bet titles read like "BitBet - Bitcoin network difficulty > 14Bn on Bastille day. 85 btc on yes (73%), 30 btc on no (27%), 55 days left (33`212 weight)" instead of just bet title as is now ? [03:41]

Drew ok, well anyways ThickAsThieves here are a few rough points on my business for discussion [04:11]
Drew OK - I have successfully thrown a music festival in Atlanta called Lunar Massive. Our plan is to continue the brand in the most optimum direction and develop it into the ideal acquisition target for the below company for the further below reasons. - [04:12]
Drew 1. There is a media company (SFX entertainment) has stated that they are building a $1 billion empire in the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) space and have already spent $400 million buying different EDM festival related brands all over the world in the last year for anywhere from $15-$100 million. [04:12]
benkay /msg assbot yourmsg [04:12]
benkay or [04:12]
benkay /query assbot to start a conversation [04:12]
Drew 2. -out of the worlds population of 7 billion, 3.6 billion are under the age of 30, and 2 billion are millennials. -Electronic Music is indisputably the music of choice for the 18-34 year old demographic mentioned above -The “Electronic Music Culture”, as he calls it, is more digitally plugged in and more reliably marketed to in a modern sense than any other genre -The industry is currently very fragmented, and was much mor [04:12]
Drew thank you benkay, and thanks for !upping me [04:12]
benkay also, you can't up yourself, i don't think. [04:12]

benkay holy f [04:13]
Drew 3. -If he was able to unite much of the industry under one brand, he would effectively control the marketing ability to 18-34 year olds with disposable income, an ability worth a tremendous amount of money to corporations that are looking to market their product to this demographic (of which there are a vast amount) [04:13]
Drew 4. Our strategy is designed to create a brand which will cater to what this man and his company are trying to accomplish, which will value our brand at easily a quarter of a billion dollars. We will do this by having a different approach than any currently existing brand. [04:13]
Drew 5. The majority of music festivals, including the ones he has purchased, have one large event per year. If they are quality events, they gain a raving loyal following who attends every year and their audience steadily increases. (Electric Forest, Ultra Music Festival, etc) [04:13]
Drew 6. Our brand will have 8-10 medium/large scale events (~10-15 thousand people, multiple stages, 20+ acts), each with 10 small scale events (500-2500 people, one stage, 2-3 acts) in the surrounding area. Each medium/large scale event will be annually, with the 10 surrounding small events spaced out throughout the year to lead up to each large scale event. [04:14]
Drew 7. The medium / large scale events will be spaced out around the year in each different location (Atlanta, Dallas, LA, NYC, Portland, Denver, Chicago, Miami, etc) so that the portion of the fanbase we develop into rabid fans can literally follow our brand around the country, like some music fans do. [04:14]
Drew 8. the effect created by our structure will be to, instead of having one event per year for promotion to be centered around, we have 90-100 events associated with the brand across the country throughout the entire year to build promotion around, using each event as a social media hub and continuing to expand our presence. This will create the most unified EMC related brand that has existed so far, making it the literal perfect [04:14]
Drew company* [04:14]
benkay literal perfect company? [04:15]
benkay town down the rhetoric e-boy. [04:15]
dub I lol that the US learned about "EDM" 30 years later and is liek 'jump on dis new shit' [04:15]
BingoBoingo So... How do you compete against incumbents like LiveNation et al [04:15]
benkay how do you plan to address the e-tard's demonstrated abhorrence of large brands? [04:17]
Drew i would say that those 2 questions are very much interrelated [04:19]
Drew i would say that livenation is automatically abhorred by the vast majority of not only e-tards but lovers of live music in general [04:19]
Drew while they own many venues and are able to throw larger shows and more frequently than most people, they don't directly throw any festivals or 5000+ person events that i am aware of [04:20]
Drew they sponsor many festivals but are not in direct ownership of any [04:20]
benkay yeah they keep their brand where nobody can see it. [04:20]
Drew wise of them [04:20]
benkay this sounds like "we;re going to be the grateful dead but ultra corporate and the kids will love it" [04:20]
Drew i would correct you though benkay, in that the abhorrence is mostly towards large corporation involvement in live music, not so much the brands themselves [04:21]
benkay brands. how even ams brand. [04:21]
benkay if your brand = your corporation, i don't see how that's addressing the concern. [04:22]
Drew electric daisy carnival is branching out their festival, and even though they recently formed a "creative partnership" with SFX (the corporate devil in their eyes) that is not taking away from their brand following [04:22]
benkay burning man has a 'too big' branding problem already. [04:22]
benkay anyways. [04:22]
benkay sounds like a fiat business. [04:22]

Drew understood [04:32]
Drew i would imagine that there are some btc connections that may decide to become a fiat connection any day though [04:32]
Drew i'd imagine that it happens both ways every day actually [04:32]
benkay he gets it. hey mikey! [04:33]
benkay anything else, Drew ? [04:33]
Duffer1 this you Drew? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=537527 [04:33]
Drew yes duffer [04:34]
benkay you've got 4 minutes of voice left, Drew... [04:34]
Drew yeah benkay, it seems like the web of trust is where i need to head to [04:34]
Drew so what is the easiest way to accquire trust through that? or the most efficient rather [04:34]
benkay time. [04:34]
benkay repeated demonstrations of competence. [04:35]
benkay basically, other humans have to trust you. [04:35]
Drew so i will basically have to dig a hole and fill it back in again for the sole sake of demonstrating competence [04:35]
benkay nah [04:35]
benkay !up Drew [04:35]
assbot Voice for Drew extended to 30 minutes. [04:35]
* assbot gives voice to Drew [04:35]
Drew what can i do that is productive towards my goal to gain that [04:35]
Drew thanks [04:35]
benkay depends on your skills [04:36]
benkay what you can be trusted to do [04:36]
benkay what you've *been* trusted to do [04:36]
BingoBoingo !up Drew [04:36]
assbot Voice for Drew extended to 30 minutes. [04:36]
* assbot gives voice to Drew [04:36]
BingoBoingo Drew: If you lurk opportunities get offered rather frequently to do things for people. [04:36]
Drew such as? [04:37]
benkay thing is that you gotta lurk [04:37]
benkay and the opportunities are neither guaranteed nor lucrative. [04:37]
BingoBoingo It really depends. You can scroll up to the conversation about making ozbot better as an example. [04:37]
Drew seems like lucrative isnt the point [04:37]
benkay precisely. [04:37]
Drew trust would be the point [04:37]
BingoBoingo These things happen nearly every day. Maybe it takes a while for something to fit your skillset. [04:38]
benkay mircea_popescu has a standing offer on the table for people to promote the cardano [04:38]
benkay 'course, there's no cardano yet. [04:38]
BingoBoingo The point though is to continue demonstrating you aren't an idiot [04:38]
Drew also as much as i appreciate the bitcoin space, it is not my expertise [04:38]
benkay and also that you execute [04:38]
Drew im definitely not an idiot, but a good friend of mine is the bitcoin expert [04:38]
Drew and also my referral to this space [04:39]
benkay the opportunities in -assets are almost entirely bitcoin exclusive. [04:39]
benkay nubbins` by virtue of being here sometimes has landed printing jobs [04:39]
benkay various artists have been commissioned via this channel [04:39]
benkay but this is a bitcoin centric space. [04:39]
BingoBoingo Drew: Well the best time to start learning the space was 2010-2011. The next best time to start learning is today. [04:39]
BingoBoingo Or tomorrow [04:40]
Drew i feel that there should be a way to earn trust with this space in other ways than proving bitcoin competency [04:40]
Drew is there not/ [04:40]
benkay death to fiat fueled governments etc etc [04:40]
Drew ? [04:40]
benkay bitcoin competence is a baseline. [04:40]
BingoBoingo The way to learn though is more reading than doing, at least at first. [04:40]
asciilifeform would be interesting to define 'bitcoin competence' [04:40]
benkay ^^ [04:40]
benkay (referring to BingoBoingo) [04:40]
Drew where would be a good point to start, readingwise [04:40]
benkay trilema [04:41]
BingoBoingo benkay: I think asciilifeform Has a better point [04:41]
mod6 pff, how about 'how many satoshi in 1 BTC?' i see them get this wrong /constantly/ on twitter, drives me up a tree. [04:41]
BingoBoingo http://blogs.bitcoin-assets.com [04:41]
benkay yeah, that's a good one. [04:41]
mod6 if i had 1 satoshi for everytime they got it wrong, i'd have 1 BTC by now. [04:41]
asciilifeform e.g. does a fellow who read the bitcoind src, satoshi paper, understood mostly - but then pisses away his stash into chumpatrons, 'competence' ? [04:41]
benkay "doesn't bleed coins"? [04:42]
asciilifeform or, opposite scenario. [04:42]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: I imagine they have half of it. Seaman vs. Able Seaman [04:42]
asciilifeform seaman vs. diesel mechanic [04:42]
benkay recent grad vs. support engineer [04:43]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 36250 @ 0.00085629 = 31.0405 BTC [+] {2} [04:43]
asciilifeform i suppose a definition is unnecessary - folks who have a poor enough grasp of the mechanics, of both varieties, will soon lose interest in btc and fade away [04:43]
Drew so if the bitcoin assets space is definitely almost entirely btc focused, would you say that the bitcointalk space is as well? I have had a couple of responses even on my posts that were almost entirely flame-ridden [04:44]
BingoBoingo What explains Taaki then? [04:44]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.EXCH] 10 @ 0.06474168 = 0.6474 BTC [-] [04:44]
BingoBoingo Bitcointalk is a wasteland, barren [04:44]
Drew do you not think that there are investors in that space that would be interested in fiat investments? [04:44]
benkay !t h rent [04:44]
Duffer1 idiots ya [04:44]
assbot [HAVELOCK:RENT] 1D: 0.00600000 / 0.00609548 / 0.00655500 (98 shares, 0.59735710 BTC), 7D: 0.00532500 / 0.00595003 / 0.00750000 (2975 shares, 17.70133594 BTC), 30D: 0.00532500 / 0.00694584 / 0.00750000 (8321 shares, 57.79633594 BTC) [04:44]
asciilifeform one could argue that 'we' ought to still take an interest in these lost souls, if only to prevent them from ending as fuel, stoking chumpatron [04:44]
benkay rent has fleeced a bunch, Drew [04:44]
BingoBoingo There probably are some. Not many people take anything on Bitcointalk seriously [04:44]
asciilifeform (chumpatron exhaust stinks) [04:45]
Drew really? i was referred to it as being one of the top 2000 most trafficked sites on the internet [04:45]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 10 @ 0.0315001 = 0.315 BTC [-] [04:45]
Drew which is definitely quantity over quality, as is evident [04:45]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 10 @ 0.0334501 = 0.3345 BTC [-] [04:45]
benkay most investors who want to go long the USD do so with their USD investments. [04:45]
BingoBoingo Drew: Traffic /= Good [04:45]
Drew right [04:45]
Duffer1 you would have to be incredibly profitable to roi for investors who buy in BTC if your customers are paying in fiat [04:45]
benkay that's the catch. [04:45]
benkay being profitable in btc. [04:45]
Drew yea duffer definitely [04:46]
Drew so let me ask you guys something [04:46]
benkay shit gets complicated fast when you touch both positive and negative terminals. [04:46]
asciilifeform (i, for those who don't know, ended up here entirely by fortune. invited by mpoepr/hanbot) [04:46]
Drew in the next 5 years, what do you see the roi being on bitcoin? [04:46]
benkay bloody unknowable. [04:46]

asciilifeform one day, your country may export... bees. [04:49]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform or just as well not export thewm [04:50]
mircea_popescu Drew there seems to be no mention anywhere except on the promoters' fb pages. [04:50]
asciilifeform well, they're a renewable resource. [04:50]

Drew yes, thats the one [04:54]
Drew they grew more expensive as the event approached but that was one of the early bird prices [04:54]
mircea_popescu any published material that includes your name in connection to this ? [04:54]
Drew probably not honestly. I organized the entire team that threw it, met and introduced the 2 partners (EDMutual and Decibel), designed the initial business plan and found the investment. My name isnt on any of that though [04:56]
* joecool (~joecool@no-sources/joecool) has joined #bitcoin-assets [04:56]
Drew there is plenty of published material regarding EDMutual and Decibel though, and through them i can very readily prove my association with this project [04:56]
mircea_popescu well so you can appreciate our problem. if we were to try and evaluate your claim, we'd have no objective weay to distinguish you from a random guy that bought a ticket. [04:56]
mircea_popescu this is something you may wish to consider for the next thing you organise. [04:57]
Drew for a random guy who bought a ticket, i sure have some ambitious plans for this project ;) [04:57]
Drew i see what you mean though [04:57]

asciilifeform perhaps, unless one is trained zoologist. [05:03]
Duffer1 Mircea whatever happened with Mrs. Boring? [05:04]
Drew SFX entertainment (the company whose tastes we are building our brand to cater to) has made the following acquisitions in the last few years [05:04]
mircea_popescu "Much has been made of peering agreements. Many peering agreements were made between engineers in the early days of the Internet and consisted of not much more than a single page of text – if there was anything written down at all. They weren’t really contracts in the way you might consider a formal legal agreement." [05:04]
Drew -Disco Donnie Presents - $50,000,000 - 100% ownership [05:04]
mircea_popescu this is quite important btw. never forget that the internet exists more as a mpex contract than anything else. [05:04]
Drew -Electric Daisy Carnival - $50,000,000 - 50% ownership [05:05]
RyanKinder fluffypony: Just read your post on the vertcoin subreddit. Interesting stuff. [05:05]
Drew -ID&T (Tomorrowland / Tomorrowworld) - $100,000,000 - 75% ownership [05:05]
Drew -Dayglow - $35,000,000 - 100% ownership [05:05]
Drew -Beatport - $52,000,000 - 100% ownership [05:06]

Drew whups my apologies that acquisition was by live nation rather than sfx [05:11]
Drew but live nation acquired 50% of insomniac for 50,000,000 [05:11]
Drew insomniac still owns the festival EDC, but live nation actually owns 50% of insomniac now [05:11]
mircea_popescu more like it. [05:11]
Drew the rest of those acquisitions were by SFX entertainment [05:11]
mircea_popescu you gotta do your homework drew. [05:11]
Drew i did my homework mircea, sorry i missed one of the problems [05:11]
mircea_popescu generally speaking the prospective investor will run into one of these, and just drop the thing silently. [05:12]
mircea_popescu also generally speaking, this sort of thing we're doing here is paid on retainer, and by the hour. [05:12]
mircea_popescu but moving on : [05:12]
Drew duly noted [05:13]
mircea_popescu "4. Our strategy is designed to create a brand which will cater to what this man and his company are trying to accomplish, which will value our brand at easily a quarter of a billion dollars." [05:13]
Drew and i do appreciate yalls patience and interest in this [05:13]
mircea_popescu that's laughable. how much are you worth, atm ? [05:14]
Drew not anywhere close to that [05:14]
mircea_popescu so then how do you know it's easily this or that ? [05:14]
Drew based on a pattern of purchases and what those companies mean to him through those purchases [05:15]
mircea_popescu branson can say easily a quarter billion. coming out of you it just sounds ... like a millenial. [05:15]
mircea_popescu yes yes. [05:15]
mircea_popescu 8-10 medium/large scale events << this is where you show the demographics of the area. [05:15]
mircea_popescu what about georgia can support 10 medium/large scale events ? [05:15]
Drew his first acquisition was disco donnie presents....a brand known for throwing terrible quality events [05:16]
Drew 10 medium / large scale events nationwide [05:16]
mircea_popescu wait. so you intend to spend 1 month per area ? [05:16]
Drew no [05:16]
mircea_popescu i mean you, personally. [05:16]
Drew each area will serve as its own hotspot [05:16]
mircea_popescu then how is this supposed to work ? is your team made out of 10 people ? [05:16]
Drew our team has 6-8 core members and 5-10 more that are involved to a lesser degree [05:17]
mircea_popescu (Atlanta, Dallas, LA, NYC, Portland, Denver, Chicago, Miami, etc) < the count is 8, and this stinks of poorly researcher. why denver and not seattle, for instance ? [05:17]
mircea_popescu why portland and not boston ? [05:17]
Drew i listed those cities primarily to illustrate a the way the shows would be spread out [05:18]
mircea_popescu but you're supposed to do the research. do the demographic work. KNOW why X and not Y. [05:19]
Drew to moreso basically describe the general idea [05:19]
mircea_popescu these aren't the result of throwing darts at a highschool map [05:19]
* moiety has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [05:19]
mircea_popescu yes, i get the general idea that the us contains a number of cities. [05:19]
mircea_popescu hardly needs illustration. [05:19]
mircea_popescu moving on [05:19]
mircea_popescu "we have 90-100 events associated with the brand across the country throughout the entire year to build promotion around, using each event as a social media hub and continuing to expand our presence. This will create the most unified EMC related brand that has existed so far, making it the literal perfect company" [05:19]
mircea_popescu do you comprehend the problems of creating brand identity over 100 geographicallyh disparate items ? [05:20]
Drew such as? [05:21]
mircea_popescu o boy. [05:21]
Drew if the brand identity was rooted in quality live music of a few main genres, and the acts were tailored by city for maximum effect, what brand identity problems would you be mainly speaking of/ [05:21]
mircea_popescu see, a good chunk of mcdonald's corporate expenditure goes to making sure that mcdonalds hamburgers are the same in atlanta and lincoln [05:22]
mircea_popescu similarly with coca cola, and all large consumer product brands that use local anything [05:22]
mircea_popescu so, buying local buns makes things taste...local. [05:22]
Drew right [05:22]
mircea_popescu to have a brand, you have to manage localisation issues. [05:22]
mircea_popescu neither insulting the locals, nor allowing them to dilute you into nothing [05:23]
mircea_popescu this is an extremely complex, difficult and resource intensive endeavour. [05:23]
mircea_popescu you're setting yourself for this task of herding 100 cats, and THIS is why nobody else is doing it. [05:23]
Drew but while buying an idaho bun may taste different than a florida bun, a meyer subwoofer rented from idaho would be the same as one rented in florida [05:23]
mircea_popescu you see, "We will do this by having a different approach than any currently existing brand." is no guarantee of success. [05:23]
mircea_popescu sometimes there are reasons nobody else is cooking by holding the stove on their head. [05:24]
mircea_popescu Drew perhaps. [05:24]
Drew im still following and agreeing with all of your logic [05:24]
mircea_popescu but your answers to this problem will have to be much much better than merely not appearing like you ever heard of it. [05:25]
Drew but sometimes there is no good reason why no one has figured out how to use a stove yet, if we go back in time to that point [05:25]
mircea_popescu sure. [05:25]
mircea_popescu dub nobody likes your dubstep anyways!!1 [05:25]
Drew you forgot to add 'one' after the 1 there :) [05:26]
Drew mircea i really do appreciate you taking your time to speak with me about this [05:26]
BingoBoingo Panera might be a good case in localization issues to read up on [05:27]
mircea_popescu Drew what's your formal education ? [05:27]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12100 @ 0.00085579 = 10.3551 BTC [-] {2} [05:28]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo about half the case studies in us business school are actually this or applications of it, if memory serves. [05:28]
Drew panera bread bingo? [05:28]
BingoBoingo Drew: Yes [05:28]
mircea_popescu perhaps excusable on the grounds that few higher level thinkers end up in busienss school [05:28]
Drew i went to a few years of aerospace engineering at Auburn University [05:28]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: So I've heard. I'm just thinking of a local venture that has run into the localization issue hard as it expanded [05:29]
mircea_popescu airbnb to this day doesn't realise that it's much more successful in canada than in the us, or why. [05:29]
Drew decided rapidly that a field with a glass ceiling of earnings proportional to achievement was not for me [05:29]
Drew decided to open my own business [05:29]
mircea_popescu Drew the problem of not having completed formal education is that you don't end up with a structured thinking process. this is not so bad for people like engineers, who don't really need it quite to the degree, but you're trying to go into business. [05:30]
* assbot removes voice from RyanKinder [05:30]
mircea_popescu of course, the us college hasn't been giving people thinking tools in 50 years, but anyway. [05:30]
Drew ^^^ [05:30]
Drew i would like to think that i ended up with a structured thinking process [05:30]
Drew do you not think so/ [05:30]
mircea_popescu casual examination would indicate otherwise, but hey. you're a millenial aren't you ? got plenty of time. [05:31]
Drew well i'm glad there is hope for me yet [05:31]
Duffer1 you found your way here, that's no small thing [05:31]
mircea_popescu anyway, so run me through your expense structure. you need 1.25mn (exactly), which is to cover what ? [05:32]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: US amateur radio licensing << there is an exam, multiple choice, concerning basic physics and law (as it pertains to radio in usa). the questions, if i recall, are... published. just like the joke that is u.s. 'citizenship test.' [05:32]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform you know romanian citizenship requires you to know... official romanian history ? [05:32]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: not surprised. [05:32]
mircea_popescu which differs in unexpected places from commonly accepted history, of course. [05:32]
asciilifeform naturally. [05:32]
Drew mircea honestly if you are willing i would love to shoot you over the complete financials to check out [05:33]
Drew i understand if you dont, but it would be much more effective than me trying to explain it all [05:33]
mircea_popescu why do you think that ? [05:33]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: in it, do the dacians build rome? [05:33]
Drew why do i think that it would be more effective? [05:33]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform not quite to the degree, but god help you if you seem to think there's no such thing as "thracians", as distinct from whatever sarmatian cloud [05:33]

mircea_popescu well yes she speaks english, she was born in texas or something, i forget. [14:41]
mircea_popescu and you know, soime people want to do a certain thing. [14:42]

mircea_popescu but nursing ffs ? [14:42]

fluffypony what's the rationale behind investors getting voting rights if they cumulatively own like 10% or 20% of a company? doesn't that seem redundant? [15:28]
mircea_popescu hm ? [15:29]
fluffypony mircea_popescu: getting pushback from 1 person who can't understand why we aren't giving VertPay investors voting rights [15:30]
fluffypony and I'm trying to understand why it's so important to them [15:30]
mircea_popescu voting rights are nonsense in bitcoin anyway. what the fuck are they going to do, get a confederatied majority and... what, oust you ? take over ? [15:31]
mircea_popescu voting rights made sense in the old days of geographically fixed agents and material means of production. that situation changed. [15:31]
fluffypony lol [15:31]
mircea_popescu immaterial means of production and geographically dispersed agents reduces the corporate voting to meaninglessness. not that it worked too well pre bitcoin, either. [15:32]
* ericmuyser has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [15:33]
mircea_popescu anyway, if you read the original thread of the sdice listing, the same sort of derpage was raised by the losers vocal there. amoing a pile of other "good and considered" reasons not to invest. [15:34]
mircea_popescu history has shown that their opinions weren't worth holding. [15:34]
chetty buying stock should indicate confidence in management, sell is lack of such - what better votes are there? [15:35]
fluffypony chetty: good point [15:35]
mircea_popescu chetty exactly. but in the old days of imperfect economy, people actually had to have a backchannel, and take over the tractor or whatever it was [15:36]
mircea_popescu because you couldn't afford to let a physical tractor go to waste, as a society. [15:36]
mircea_popescu these days, a website going to waste ? heh. [15:36]
pankkake I like the point where you'd have to trust other shareholder's opinions. I certainly wouldn't want that [15:36]
mircea_popescu any way you turn it voting shares are nonsensical. [15:37]
mircea_popescu at the very most tyhe management could solicit nonbinding opinions from holders, there's a mpex mechanism for doing this embedded in some listing agreements, [15:37]

HeySteve I can see the value of rating unregistered entities [16:21]
punkman ThickAsThieves: well there's Paypal for example, but how is that useful http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=paypal [16:22]
HeySteve but there are problems :) they'd have to be clearly identified as proxies [16:22]
ThickAsThieves HeySteve, megacorps arent good examples [16:22]
ThickAsThieves they have reputation that transcends a log [16:23]
HeySteve it may be best to think of them as placeholder ratings which the entities can later assume once validated [16:23]
ThickAsThieves (i could spend time arguing otherwise) [16:23]
punkman well "entities" brings that kind of thing to mind [16:23]
davout ThickAsThieves: if i wanted to argue the opposite i'd say criminals that aren't in the wot weren't part of the economy in the first place, so that would be a non-issue [16:23]
ThickAsThieves a better example would be like JOsh from BFL [16:23]
ThickAsThieves or Peter Vesesnes [16:23]

fluffypony what nick would you put josh under? [16:23]
fluffypony bfljosh? real name? [16:23]
ThickAsThieves well these are the finer problems [16:23]
ThickAsThieves you'd need to add several fields to the db [16:24]
fluffypony but it's the core of the problem [16:24]
fluffypony essential to the WoT is identity [16:24]
ThickAsThieves for Real Names and Known Aliases [16:24]
ThickAsThieves essentially [16:24]
fluffypony an alias is irrelevant unless it links to an identity [16:24]
ThickAsThieves probly with references [16:24]

ozbot Economic cycles finally explained pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. [16:24]
fluffypony which is why opt-in registration is important [16:24]
fluffypony the minute you allow the rating of unidentified individuals you take identity out of it [16:25]
HeySteve <+fluffypony> an alias is irrelevant unless it links to an identity <- I disagree. someone doesn't have to know your real name to trade with you based on ratings [16:25]
fluffypony HeySteve: identity != real name [16:25]
ThickAsThieves opt-in registeration being easy and clean does not make unregistered identity handling unimportant [16:25]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves: i wonder if that's really a good idea << i don't think it is. [16:25]
HeySteve fluffypony, ok sure, just clarifying your meaning [16:25]
mircea_popescu you see, if the WoT is a punishment gazette, since when do criminals register for such themselves? << since forever. read up on "peine forte et dure" ? [16:25]
ThickAsThieves the question isnt has it ever happened [16:26]
ThickAsThieves it is whether it makes sense for it to be a requirement [16:26]
HeySteve the question then becomes who would hold the keys to the placeholder identity? seeing as that identity will also be able to rate people. so what happens if "PayPal" downvotes you? [16:26]

mircea_popescu justice never involved this nonsense. [16:26]
ThickAsThieves so a roaming criminal never gets jailed cuz he doesnt recognize the authority? [16:27]

mircea_popescu trust, but verify is the recipe to perfect security. [17:24]
mircea_popescu 3rd party logs are all a lie ? [17:24]
ThickAsThieves i suppose not, assuming they are logged by several trustworthy parties [17:25]
mircea_popescu trust, but verify is also why eventual consistency is so deeply buried at the root of practical business. [17:25]
