mircea_popescu I got pulled over in Nebraska and when I was getting my license out of my wallet the officer saw a $100 bill in there and ended up confiscating the $400 I had on me as suspected drug money without ever arresting me or even charging me with a crime. [01:01]
mircea_popescu I got a receipt and an affidavit indicating the amount seized and why. I petitioned the court for the return of my money and the court denied me saying that possession of that much cash constituted probable cause of drug activity and that I should be happy not to be in jail for drugs."

mircea_popescu rng! [01:49]
mircea_popescu mike_c there's always ~some~ correlation. since you did the math anyway, what is it ? [01:49]
mircea_popescu .2 ? [01:49]
mike_c i don't know about stand alone, but it is when combined with the exchange rate in any fashion. [01:49]

jurov i see here that horrible disinfo leaking from the east [02:00]
* The20YearIRCloud has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity) [02:00]
jurov such as, EU supposedly enforcing a "juvenile justice" [02:00]
mircea_popescu assbot> Russia and the Menace of Unreality - The Atlantic << gotta love the english agitprop, this entire "the gauls don't really exist so clearly they couldn't be at the gates" thing. [02:00]
asciilifeform jurov: how is that disinfo ? [02:00]
jurov that will take kids away from heteros and give them to queers [02:00]
mircea_popescu "putin doesn;t understand how the world works" [02:00]
asciilifeform jurov: nope. in russia, people have successfully resisted, for the most part, the 'civilized' western notion that the crown has business taking children. [02:01]
jurov but whole juvenile justice story is fabricated [02:02]
asciilifeform the 'queers' angle is sprayed on by western journarasts. [02:02]
mircea_popescu jurov it's only nonsense in the form presented. otherwise, the eu does believe it has jurisdiction over children above and beyond that of the family. [02:02]
mircea_popescu ^ [02:02]
asciilifeform as does usa. [02:02]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform usa is just a colony. [02:02]
mircea_popescu of course it'd fly along with whatever the french, the english and so forth figure out. [02:02]
hyhycaptain !up [02:03]
jurov of course that is how RT works [02:03]
jurov takes a grain of EU social care taking children [02:04]
mircea_popescu that grain is a grain in my eye. [02:04]
jurov mixes it with fear from queers adpting children [02:05]
asciilifeform 'prior to Americans' gay rights agitation, Russian gays used to be called “faggots”; now they are being called “American faggots,” and gay rights in Russia have taken a giant leap back.' - orlov [02:05]
jurov and now the nocsense is suddenly presented as fact and i have to convince half of my facebook friends [02:05]
* hyhycaptain is now known as captaincoin [02:05]
jurov that such "juvenile justice" does not exist [02:06]
mircea_popescu jurov you'll have a hard time wiht it. [02:06]
mircea_popescu but yes it does exist : the eu state will, under a multitude of pretexts, steal children. [02:06]
asciilifeform so perhaps enemy does not bayonet babies and eat them under white sauce. he merely strangles them humanely and reprocesses into Garboil. [02:07]
asciilifeform go convince. [02:07]
jurov i indeed have a hard time with your insistence that everything out there is an overactive imagination of western journos [02:07]
jurov while putin never lied and never will [02:07]
mircea_popescu you mean his or mine ? [02:07]
jurov both [02:07]
mircea_popescu putin is lying every chance he gets, what. [02:08]
mircea_popescu how did i end up giving ~that~ impression for crying out loud. [02:08]
jurov you dismissed is as mere agitprop [02:09]
xmj jurov: I'm ruthless about russian supporters [02:10]
mircea_popescu but it's not what i said. i merely remarked on a particular mental complex, wherein the western agitprop calls things they don't like and can't derride "inexistent" a certain way [02:10]
mircea_popescu lemme model this. suppose we go out for a picnic, and suppose we're there with some girls, and suppose a cow comes and shits in our cornmeal pot. and suppose one of the girls goes "oh my!" [02:11]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it mostly works for the target audience. to most folks in usa, who are literate in no foreign languages, never travel except on official orders, etc. - if not thrown in their face, fact does not exist. [02:11]
mircea_popescu me mocking her for the "oh my" lulz doesn't mean i am in favour of cattle shitting in cookpots. [02:11]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform which is why this is funny. [02:12]
jurov anyhow. you both be glad you're living in countries divided by distance and language (more or less) from this shit [02:12]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform dude imagine for the sake of science fiction, a putin that didn't lie. like, ever. he'd be spotless like warm milk foam. [02:14]

* asciilifeform likes to show americans 'the venerable ancient Ukrs' - is almost never believed, even when rubbing their nose in primary source [02:14]
mircea_popescu they'd prolly flay him alive just for the cognitive dissonance [02:14]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: what next, a pope that doesn't lie? [02:14]

asciilifeform safe ? [02:18]

asciilifeform waffen ss? red army ? [02:19]
mircea_popescu jurov hey, i don't mind, by all means, go ahead. [02:19]
mircea_popescu you're probably right, it's not looking all that good. [02:20]
jurov when public space is increasingly and inessantly inundated by conspirations [02:20]
jurov that won't end well [02:20]
asciilifeform ask the conspirators to quit conspiring. that'd have a chance of fixing. [02:20]
mircea_popescu time to split, unless you somehow discover some passion for one side or the other and a desire to go to shooting practice. [02:20]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform that's like asking girls aged 16ish to stop giggling. yeah, that's gonna happen [02:20]
asciilifeform lol [02:20]
mircea_popescu it's not their cunt asking for a tending that's driving the giggling behaviour. [02:21]
ThickAsThieves <+mike_c> tea leaves came up empty /// i guess i was probly only paying attention to price at the time, maybe that was the .5 zone, shortly after my comments it totally decoupled [02:21]

jurov later! [02:25]
mircea_popescu mike_c that's online media v3.0 [02:26]
asciilifeform one of the more 'high tech' and interesting 'state media' tricks is to spray on a coating of 'conspiratorial Teflon' to an otherwise genuine piece of dirt [02:26]
asciilifeform so it doesn't stick to 'right thinking' heads. [02:26]
mike_c the atlantic is trying to steal my bitcoin [02:26]

assbot 3 results for 'crank bait' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=crank+bait [02:26]
ThickAsThieves i like that the putin drawing is a scanned bar napkin or sumth [02:27]
asciilifeform today is, incidentally, favourite american holiday celebrating this gambit. [02:27]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform there's more to this than just that. i've had an intern puit a bunch of trilema articles in reddit, across dozens of different subreddits. NONE stick. they're all "wrong", then the complainants get laughed out, then the matter dies. [02:27]
mircea_popescu this teflon phenomenon is a lot deeper. [02:27]
* asciilifeform 's favourite subject in this class. [02:28]
mircea_popescu there's a long and growing list of things you can do to a text to make it completely inaccessibl for the "right thinking" person. [02:28]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: there are many applicable 'teflons.' [02:28]
mircea_popescu i mean, just a certain tone is enough, subtle subjective positioning is enough [02:28]
mircea_popescu "this thing is written as if the soviet party isn't legitimate" < o noes and enough. [02:29]
mircea_popescu by now right thinkingness has become an extremely intricate, delicately balanced piece of work [02:29]
mircea_popescu western confucianism. [02:29]
asciilifeform the example jurov (inadvertently) gave us - is instructive. someone succeeded in 'tefloning' the 'juvenile justice' thing before it entered his brain. [02:29]
mircea_popescu i'm still reeling over the realisation that someone, somewhere, thinks im pro russian. [02:30]
asciilifeform i doubt anyone could persuade him that phenomenon in question is not a barbaric libel by russian queer-haters. [02:30]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the 'logic' presumably being, you must 'go with' the humans or the orcs, tertium non datur. [02:33]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform anyway, for what it's worth, in my mind the correct approach to this problem is radical, corrosive antiteflon. [02:35]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: what document worth the mention could get any traction on 'reddit' (today's, not circa '07, say) ? [02:36]
mircea_popescu the more people saying nigger and proposing rape as a solution to minute problems, the less effectual this teflon process is. [02:36]
mircea_popescu it only works in the first place because of a very narrow overton window achieved over decades of lazy prosperity. [02:36]
mircea_popescu that needs to be broken, for general welfare. [02:36]
mircea_popescu giving in and being polite even to the slightest degree just feeds the nonsense. [02:37]
mircea_popescu in contemporary english, it is the duty of any thinking person to be as offensive as the context will carry. [02:37]
ThickAsThieves to what end? [02:38]
mircea_popescu freedom, of course. [02:38]
asciilifeform in the peanut gallery - they say whatever. 'new york times' - won't say 'rapigger'. [02:38]
mircea_popescu anyway, it's why i carry a lot of sympathy for BingoBoingo's legal troubles. [02:38]
mircea_popescu seems to me he instinctively applied the correct solution from perhaps an untenable position [02:39]

mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves when you confront an organised enemy, your options are two. either beat him but preserve his tools, which locks you into ruling in his stead, or else beat him and destroy his tools, which locks you into rebuilding. [02:40]
mircea_popescu there's little worse fate than having to take over and continue using with the present tools. [02:40]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: limonov had a beautiful discussion of this. [02:40]

asciilifeform 'Take a look in History, flip through her pages. The first action in revolutions of recent history -- the erection of barricades. They'll smash the cobble stones of the street, dig them out, and block off the road with them. They'll stop cars, buses, fill the street with bricks. And also they'll attack, plunder, raze, and put to the torch the city hall, administrative buildings, presidential palace, parliamen [02:46]
asciilifeform t, shops, warehouses. The crowd has - a correct instinct. It would like to destroy the city - the citadel of power of the political and economic kind - the root cause of its travails. The crowd is stopped in its tracks by those who have plans for the city hall, for the presidential palace. We will not stop the crowd.' (Limonov, 'The Other Russia.') - translation mine. [02:46]
mircea_popescu the interesting thing here is that no longer is the city hall the seat of power. the irc channel is the seat of power. [02:47]

[03:31]

asciilifeform use two lithium (specifically) aa batteries in a common series holder (as pictured.) [03:34]
thestringpuller i'm terrified of modifying because this is a cartridge that appreciates in value due to rarity or something [03:34]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform it just means woman. most speakers wouldn't notice the relation and im probably going to get inundated with hatemail in the morn [04:16]
asciilifeform lulz [04:16]
mircea_popescu it's an older term, mostly disused, ever so slightly derrogatory. [04:16]
mircea_popescu it's vulgar latin, from mulieris. [04:17]
mircea_popescu suppoisedly sucking cock (a da [la] muie, contracted to muie) comes from gypsy language, where muie means mouth. [04:18]
mircea_popescu but this distinction is you know, what you make of it. [04:19]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform using addresses to encode satisfies your criteria, it doesn't have to be amounts [05:32]
mircea_popescu which is why the b-a deeds system will use addresses rather than amounts. [05:32]
asciilifeform need certain amounts to avoid getting dust-collected. [05:33]
mircea_popescu hm? [05:33]
asciilifeform can't send nil [05:33]
mircea_popescu sure, gotta send some btc. [05:33]
asciilifeform or less than $dust lower bound [05:33]

asciilifeform *usefully encoded addrs with reasonably secure privates [05:35]

asciilifeform my understanding is that for your application, the payload is very small, and 'shooting coin into the sun' in an open loop system - suffices. [05:36]
asciilifeform (garbage dest. address) [05:37]
mircea_popescu it's not clear that wasting the tx fees for a very narrow space (ie, the amt) is actually cheaper than wasting the min tx for wider space (the address [05:38]
mircea_popescu but anyway, a discussion for other times! [05:38]

asciilifeform one caveat with using addresses - 'decoder' must not rely on the garbage addr's balance never moving on own volition. one might, at any time, end up producing an addr to which someone has a key. [05:42]

PeterL__ don't mind me, just lurking [17:35]
mircea_popescu lurk away. [17:35]
pete_dushenski considering that i can think of few personal blogs with more comments... [17:35]
mircea_popescu pete_dushenski dude is giving himself as an example. the funny thing is that wordpress has a comment index, trilema is over 100k, his blog was 5k, but hey. HE rules. [17:36]
mircea_popescu anyway, yes, im entertained. and riga looks great, nobody thinks of it as a vacation destination, but i don't recall ever hating it there. [17:36]
pete_dushenski common question upon return: [17:37]
pete_dushenski "why latvia?" [17:37]
xmj pete_dushenski: why not? [17:37]
pete_dushenski answer: "because i hadn't been there" [17:37]
xmj that sounds like me. [17:38]
mircea_popescu well yeah, they all want to go to ibiza, because "everyne goes there" [17:38]
pete_dushenski plus, legal prostitution, eu standard of living, cheaper than west/central eu [17:38]
mircea_popescu you know where everyone really goes ? to the fucking toilet. what reason to pick a vacation in the bathroom is that! [17:38]
pete_dushenski everyone here goes to vegas, mexico, etc. just to get pissed [17:39]
pete_dushenski thailand too, i suppose [17:39]
pete_dushenski but that's not even just the kids, most "adults" from here as well [17:40]
pete_dushenski but there's enough immigrants here that there's some worldliness if you look for it [17:41]
pete_dushenski mircea_popescu: and yes, the bathroom is "#1 hotspot" [17:41]
pete_dushenski and ty to mircea_popescu and ThickAsThieves for the kind comments :) [17:42]
mircea_popescu pete_dushenski seriously tho, that's when it begins, when the blog's a tool of self expression. [17:43]
mircea_popescu "here's how i'd say this, here's how i'd write this, and here's how i'd blog this" [17:43]

pete_dushenski on the 10th nao [17:49]
mircea_popescu a not so bad [17:49]
mircea_popescu ziggla sure. who're you ? [17:49]
ziggla a bitbet user [17:50]
ziggla who are you? [17:50]
mircea_popescu a bitbet owner. [17:50]
ziggla ha ok [17:50]
ThickAsThieves heh [17:50]
mircea_popescu lol i'm going to die as the lord of repartee [17:50]
ThickAsThieves dealer meets user [17:50]
ziggla maybe you can clarify something for me [17:51]
mircea_popescu shoot [17:51]
ziggla i'm confused about this silk road bet [17:51]
ziggla when do we find out? [17:51]
ThickAsThieves never it seems [17:51]
mircea_popescu a that sore spot. well ideally we find out once the usg finally and publicly admits to having been owned, painfully and humiliatingly. [17:51]
ziggla lol [17:52]
ThickAsThieves see you shoulda just let me make the schrodinger bet [17:52]
ThickAsThieves at least that wouldve resolved [17:52]
ziggla when will they admit? [17:52]
mircea_popescu but unideally, i will just unilaterally decide one side, and that will be what happened, [17:52]
mircea_popescu irrespective of what the usg may falsely or accurately claim afterwards. [17:53]
ziggla you will just decide? [17:53]
mircea_popescu yea. [17:53]
ziggla why don't you just cancel the whole thing if we don't find out? [17:53]
ziggla seems like a big risk [17:53]
mircea_popescu because the bet exists. [17:53]
mircea_popescu the risk exists, but it lies with the usg. [17:53]
mircea_popescu if it doesn't want to have to lie later, it better tell the truth now. [17:54]
ziggla i don't get it [17:54]
ziggla what would it lie about/? [17:54]
mircea_popescu what price it sold the btc. [17:54]
mircea_popescu after i make a decision, if their claims contradict that decision... they're lieing. [17:54]
ThickAsThieves ziggla needs to know your version of the truth here [17:54]
ziggla but i don't see the purpose of them lying [17:54]
mircea_popescu well i don't have one. [17:54]
mircea_popescu last fucking thing i want is to play the oracle for bureaucracies [17:55]
mircea_popescu ziggla that's kinda what they do, tbh. [17:55]
ziggla ha [17:55]
ThickAsThieves <+ziggla> but i don't see the purpose of them lying /// are you like 11yo? [17:55]
pete_dushenski mircea_popescu: can you normally tell what's wrong with you, if something's wrong, and what food item was the cause, if you're sick ? << hilarious when people get food poisoning, blame it on last meal they ate, ignorant of bacteria with >1 week incubation periods (e. coli, listeria, etc.) [17:55]
mircea_popescu anyway, what's the purpose of not publishing it afterwards ? after all that lead-up and promissory behaviour, o noes, we will ruin btc lalal. [17:55]
ThickAsThieves there's always a purpose to lying [17:56]
mircea_popescu pete_dushenski if you stfu and listen to your body, you can generally tell. [17:56]
pete_dushenski and that they probably cross-contaminated something at home or at friend's house, not restaurant. [17:56]
ThickAsThieves and always a lie to tell [17:56]
ziggla seems easiest to not play oracle if you don't have to make any decisions about your thoughts of the usg if the bet is just cancelled [17:56]
mircea_popescu ziggla the difference is that you perceive this theoretical 3rd way, of "cancelling bets". i don't. [17:56]
pete_dushenski mircea_popescu: perhaps you can, perhaps i can, perhaps other cannot [17:57]
mircea_popescu pete_dushenski it definitely doesn't work 100%, sure. [17:57]
ziggla i'm sure bets have been cancelled on bitbet before [17:57]
pete_dushenski mircea_popescu: people just wanna blame someone or something else anyways, eg. the joo [17:57]
ThickAsThieves bets have been cancelled [17:57]
ThickAsThieves rare tho [17:57]
mircea_popescu ziggla not that many, and not usually in a contention. [17:58]
mircea_popescu generally a bet gets cancelled early on, cause w/e, it was miswritten [17:58]
PeterL__ didn't somebody submit a foia request for the price? have they still not heard back? [17:58]
mircea_popescu but there's a legitimate contention here, no way to cancel. [17:58]
mircea_popescu PeterL__ multiple people. the 30 day term has been exceeded. by 50+ days. [17:58]
ThickAsThieves the USMS acknowledged they have had many public inquiries as to the info [17:58]
ThickAsThieves and said theyd give a statement early Aug [17:58]
ThickAsThieves that never happened [17:58]
ziggla yes, so we wait for them to release this info [17:58]
ziggla but they haven't [17:59]
ziggla just wonderring how long we wait [17:59]
PeterL__ rules are for the peons [17:59]
mircea_popescu ziggla can't wait forever, obviously. but the alternative is imo worse. [17:59]
ThickAsThieves so now a few people have FOIA requests pending [17:59]
ThickAsThieves as you can see with the latet NYDFS update [17:59]
ThickAsThieves , [17:59]
ziggla it's pretty easy to cancel imo [17:59]
mircea_popescu PeterL__ it's funny you know because they walked right into it, they were all "o we hve a pr stragety, here's how we'll crush bitcoin's image lalal" [17:59]
ThickAsThieves USG isnt really giving info feedback on bitcoin anything [17:59]
ziggla sorry folks, this bet is unresolvable. usg won't release the info. it has been 3 months. we will refund the bets. [18:00]
ziggla seems easy enough [18:00]
ThickAsThieves it is resolvable [18:00]
mircea_popescu ziggla well in that sense driving into the wall is easy, just turn the weel and push the gas. [18:00]
ThickAsThieves it is merely unresolved [18:00]
mircea_popescu running a business doing that is a lot harder [18:00]
PeterL__ reminds me of interacting with the IRS "Please submit this info within 3 days or else huge fine, expect a response in 12-16 weeks, maybe" [18:00]
ThickAsThieves yeah pretty much [18:00]
ziggla yes, it is resolvable. i wish the USG would just cooperate so we can know [18:00]
mircea_popescu PeterL__ i still regret no judge made their email thing precendent. "from now on, an y taxpayer may just pretend they lost the emails" [18:01]
mircea_popescu ziggla makes 2 of us [18:01]
ThickAsThieves NYDFS needs 3mos to fabricate the bitcoin research they said they already did [18:01]
mircea_popescu or whatever, 50 million [18:01]
ThickAsThieves USMS needs more apparently to fabricate a reality where whatever story they give about the auction will seem true [18:01]
mircea_popescu personally, i'm waiting for the drama bubble to pop. [18:02]
ThickAsThieves drama bubble? [18:02]
mircea_popescu very good drama in the whole auction thing. lots and lots. [18:02]
mircea_popescu just need someone to get it together and leak the emails and sutff already [18:02]
ThickAsThieves dont the losers deserve to know? [18:02]
mircea_popescu totally. [18:02]
ziggla mircea, just curious what you think the price was in case you decide to resolve the bet rather than an official release from USMS [18:02]
ziggla i'd like to know if i stand to win or not [18:03]
ziggla i also don't agree with that methodology either way [18:03]
mircea_popescu ziggla i have nfi yet. i deliberately avoided the topic, because why prejudge [18:03]
ziggla justc curious [18:03]
mircea_popescu anyway, if you're curiuous re precedent, the bfl scammers put 500 btc on a delivery bet early on in bitbet's history [18:03]
ThickAsThieves i used to be sure he overpaid, but he was so fukn tightlipped to every direct question on the price [18:04]
mircea_popescu then they failed to deliver but tried to claim that "it's unresolvable" [18:04]
mircea_popescu some scamsites working with them to help them skewer noobs aquiesced, which ruined their reputation. bitbet did not. [18:04]
ThickAsThieves its just "off", this auction [18:04]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves if nothing else, there's going to be an investor report, not like he's mp spending his own money. [18:04]
ThickAsThieves does that other bet site exist anymore? [18:05]
mircea_popescu arguably. [18:05]
ThickAsThieves or did they just reskin to betmoose? [18:05]
ziggla 500 btc is different than like 7 btc. the silk road bet isn't for much. don't think tim draper or the usms is scamming newbs on bitbet here [18:05]
* assbot removes voice from PeterL__ [18:05]
mircea_popescu ziggla its not really germane, when discussing precedent. and yes, i do think usms is scamming. [18:05]
ziggla so if they are going to lie and scam, you think they will try to inflate the price they received? [18:06]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves afaik betmoose is the attempt to "prove me wrong" of some guy that was pissed that i despise the "marketplace model" [18:06]
ziggla that's the only point of lying i see [18:06]
mircea_popescu ziggla it's complicated. [18:06]
mircea_popescu originally it was going to be "nobody wanted to bid so we just gave it to our friends to help us "enforce" price policy" [18:06]
ThickAsThieves they also have an asston more coin to sell [18:06]
mircea_popescu but then that fell through. now, how exactly it fell through... it's not clear. [18:06]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves so they claim. [18:07]
ziggla interesting [18:07]
mircea_popescu so far, it's unclear they've even delivered this batch [18:07]
* kermit (unknown@pdpc/supporter/bronze/kermit) has joined #bitcoin-assets [18:07]
ThickAsThieves they did at least transmit coins [18:07]
mircea_popescu maybe. [18:07]
mircea_popescu someone moved some coins. [18:07]
ThickAsThieves right [18:07]
ziggla pretty sure the transaction to tim draper was confirmed [18:07]
mircea_popescu ziggla confirmed, how ? [18:07]
ziggla i thought i saw articles [18:07]
ThickAsThieves he never signed from the waller [18:07]
ThickAsThieves t [18:07]
mircea_popescu ziggla your standard of proof may be weak. [18:08]
ziggla i guess i haven't looked into it too closely [18:08]
ThickAsThieves not that he has an identity to prove it [18:08]
mircea_popescu that's kinda the problem, noobs wanna pretend like they're playing this crypto currency game. [18:08]
mircea_popescu except they want to do it with clay pots. [18:08]
ziggla at the end of the day, rather than wait potentially forever for a small profit or loss, i'd prefer to just receive my bet money back. it's just a long wait and i have no other bitcoins to bet so i can't even place more bets that i'd like to right now. [18:09]
mircea_popescu i hear you. [18:09]
mircea_popescu if you will, take solace in the concept that a fiat investment arrived in contention can trivially lock your funds for a decade+ [18:10]
ThickAsThieves i know i'm biased, but i cant look at the betmoose web design long enough to attempt using it [18:10]
mircea_popescu and we're not even a year in here. [18:10]
artifexd and said theyd give a statement early Aug << Maybe they did give a statement. They held a press conference on the back loading dock at 3 am on a Tuesday and forgot to call the press... or anybody. [18:11]
mircea_popescu that's not giving. [18:11]
ThickAsThieves nah they have a feed for PR [18:11]
ThickAsThieves right on the website [18:11]
mircea_popescu when was the auction again ? june wasn't it ? [18:11]
ThickAsThieves announced may i think [18:12]
ThickAsThieves i forget [18:12]
mircea_popescu yeah they announced draper like 1st of july [18:12]
mircea_popescu so they should have responded by 1st of august [18:12]
mircea_popescu thern they said they'll break the law, but do it by end of august [18:12]
mircea_popescu and here's semptember. [18:12]
mircea_popescu anyway, it's also possible someone sued, which is frequent in these auctions [18:12]
* Enky has quit (Quit: Nettalk6 - www.ntalk.de) [18:12]
mircea_popescu the auction won't be settled until all claims are resolved. [18:12]
asciilifeform only way the truth (tm) comes out is if more than a few of the players involved are thoroughly pwned, rooted, results trotted out. [18:12]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform being worked on i hear. [18:13]
asciilifeform and even then only if the culprits hanged upside down, wired to the mains by the balls, and admit the data genuine. [18:13]
ziggla OK. well maybe if it's not solved for like 5 years and i end up winning it will be worth a lot more at that time [18:13]
ziggla bitbet is like a bank [18:13]
mircea_popescu ziggla this was said before. [18:14]
ziggla but i guess then i have to trust bitbet will remain solvent and hold my coins securely [18:14]
ziggla which is kind of worrisome, no offense [18:14]
mircea_popescu in principle, if your credit / wot ratings are good, you should be able to use the proof of holding the bet you made as collateral with a gpg contract [18:14]
ThickAsThieves auction announced june 13 ftr [18:14]
mircea_popescu i see no impediment to this secondary market developing, rather than forcing me to do stupid shit. [18:14]
ThickAsThieves held on Jun 27 [18:14]
mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves yeah that's it. [18:15]
mircea_popescu ziggla bitbet isn't going anywhere. [18:15]
ThickAsThieves <+ziggla> which is kind of worrisome, no offense /// insult is the sincerest compliment [18:15]
mircea_popescu i ain't insulted lol [18:16]

pete_dushenski fiberglass has applications and uses outside of insulation [18:30]
mircea_popescu it's not relly toxic, more like noxious. the glass itself is harmless silica, but the shape it has allows it to mechanically breach the skin, [18:30]
mircea_popescu and cause lung and respiratory tract serious issues [18:31]
asciilifeform pete_dushenski: loose fibers. itchy. [18:31]
pete_dushenski like asbestos then [18:31]
asciilifeform precisely like asbestos (which the fiberglass makers had banned) [18:31]
mircea_popescu no, asbestos is toxic. [18:31]
pete_dushenski and ya, itchy dusty bits are no bueno [18:31]
asciilifeform no prizes for guessing why they banned [18:31]
