hdbuck | mircea_popescu, could you please enlighten me regarding what is actually going to happen in bitcoinland? i mean, all that junk going on with the BTCFoundation, the heists, the banks, the whole damn world? what to expect if not some shitstorm lies and persecutions? | [01:40] |
mircea_popescu | well who knows the future eh ? | [01:40] |
hdbuck | i figured you had a pretty good idea tho cuz i'm clueless :) | [01:41] |
mircea_popescu | who knows, maybe the sec finally decides to stop dicking around and we get some scams actually blown open properly, | [01:41] |
mircea_popescu | rather than this current "pick bugs off the floor put them, in the bucket whence they run back out" thing we've been doing for the past three years | [01:41] |
mircea_popescu | it's starting to drive the girl nuts, for one. | [01:42] |
mircea_popescu | my cock really doesn't taste as bad as people tell themselves. | [01:42] |
hdbuck | i saw your first post on the btcforum was: "I'm pretty convinced we will see 1mn$ / BTC at some future point" havent changed your mind so far? ^^ | [01:42] |
mircea_popescu | nope. | [01:43] |
mircea_popescu | what post is this ? | [01:43] |

hdbuck | first one | [01:43] |
mircea_popescu | o.O | [01:43] |
hdbuck | nice introduction ^^ | [01:43] |
mircea_popescu | i dunno, must be some meanwhile forgotten joke ? | [01:44] |
mircea_popescu | that aside, bitcoin will outlive the dollar, in which sense any arbitrary price point will be reached eventually. | [01:45] |
hdbuck | a joke taht had kept you busy for the last couple of years | [01:45] |
hdbuck | anyho, still reading logs. im not going to bother any longer. keeping up the faith :) | [01:46] |

mircea_popescu | have a tit. | [01:46] |
diametric | lots of new people stopping by lately i see | [01:47] |
cazalla | I'm fairly new and my being here, I would expect more soon diametric | [01:50] |
mircea_popescu | curious which is the first hip hop artist to make it here. | [01:50] |
mircea_popescu | they all pretend like they're businessmen, it's the hip thing to claim | [01:51] |
cazalla | given it takes a year to go through the /r/bitcoin and bitcointalk wringer, i am thinking most end up here after some time and not straight off thet bat | [01:51] |
mircea_popescu | i sure hope so. | [01:51] |
diametric | cazalla: why is that? | [01:51] |

cazalla | diametric: learning curve i would think | [01:52] |
diametric | there is a surprisingly amount of people that really dislike mircea_popescu. I've encountered a few that proclaim he's a scammer, but when questioned on what scam specifically they fail to give details. | [01:53] |
diametric | and by association they've linked this channel to scammers | [01:53] |
cazalla | I'm your average person, can't keep up with some of the conversation here, need to go and google words for definitions and so forth but I'm here (got started in Bitcoin nov 2012) so I would expect others who are average to start turning up as I have | [01:53] |
mircea_popescu | the convenient explanation being that they're exposed scammers/shills with a bone for pr. | [01:53] |
CheckDavid | cazalla: normal people have to Google | [01:54] |
mircea_popescu | the more likely explanation is probably that they're not actually as smart as they see themsekves. | [01:54] |
CheckDavid | But it you actually Google | [01:54] |
CheckDavid | You are away being them :) | [01:54] |
CheckDavid | *way beyond | [01:55] |
cazalla | diametric: I think the dislike might come from feeling inferior due to the conversations here | [01:55] |
cazalla | If you put ones ego aside for a moment, there is a lot you can learn, at least that has been my experience to date | [01:55] |
diametric | possibly, it also reminds me of when someone wins at something, people immediately assume they cheated somehow because they themselves didn't win. | [01:56] |
mircea_popescu | crab pot phenomena | [01:56] |
CheckDavid | mircea_popescu sucks | [01:56] |
CheckDavid | But I love him | [01:56] |
CheckDavid | He is wise | [01:56] |
mircea_popescu | omg i don't suck how can you say that!1 | [01:57] |

hdbuck | im really trying to grasp what happened with the massive PUT orders in early feb. MP's feb report mentioned his ability to stand for the sake of bitcoin, and being well connected, etc... But who was on the other side? Why such orders in bulk at this given period? :/ | [01:58] |

mircea_popescu | what tech is that ? | [02:01] |

mircea_popescu | heh and the chinese take the lead. | [02:02] |
mircea_popescu | so how are they made, just packed tighter ? | [02:02] |
mircea_popescu | all i see is a n1 at 2k/1k | [02:03] |
asciilifeform | transistors have packed to far greater densities, far earlier | [02:03] |
asciilifeform | the 'hard part' of this kind of display is - driving it | [02:03] |
mircea_popescu | and that's a ~7inch tablety thing | [02:03] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform many problems, really. | [02:03] |

asciilifeform | more like 1k. i think it was old (100+ yrs.) and refinished at least once, after ww2 if i recall. | [02:29] |
decimation | well, presumably one could make it out of oak or pine for much less $$ | [02:30] |
asciilifeform | yes. there's some of those in the linked shop | [02:30] |
decimation | the trick is drying and finishing | [02:30] |
asciilifeform | it's surprisingly hard to find a breed of wood that comes in the requisite monolithic piece and never - ever - warps. | [02:30] |
decimation | there is much art to drying wood without warping | [02:31] |
asciilifeform | (the stones, traditionally, are glass and very slippery. so surface gotta be level.) | [02:31] |
asciilifeform | (nitpick - traditional stones aren't glass - seashell and slate.) | [02:31] |
