mircea_popescu ;;rated grubles [16:48]
gribble You have not yet rated user grubles [16:48]
* bitstein has quit (Quit: My Mac has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…) [16:49]
mircea_popescu ;;rate grubles -1 Disingenuous at best. One of the large group of everyday nitwits that wandered into Bitcoin early on enough so as to end up with a much larger momentary fortune than their limited brainpower could support. After squandering it through the usual means, they prefer to pretend their funciar stupidity is someone else's fault. [16:49]
gribble Rating entry successful. Your rating of -1 for user grubles has been recorded. [16:49]
mircea_popescu re the entire grubles/bitvps thing : the listing was discussed for a while, in a public channel. grubles was there, and not only represented himself in agreement, but represented rg as the owner of the thing. [16:50]
mircea_popescu for that matter, the contract has a specific clause, 3(a)That no third party has offered verifiable proof as to the inaccuracy or incompleteness of the representations and warranties made herein and that no market makers, preferred traders and other significant investors of MPEx have publicly proffered doubt as to the accuracy or completeness of the representations and warranties made herein ; [16:51]
mircea_popescu he never availed himself of it, and that is exactly enough for constructive tacit agreement, just as good as if he swore to the whole thing. [16:51]
mircea_popescu for that matter, the guy didn't protest at any point while rg was still running the thing, nor did he stand up to take over once rg fucked it up. [16:52]

mircea_popescu well just don't get arrested over freedom of speech lol [17:06]
joecool heh return of rg to irc seems to be causing arguments in all the bitcoin-* channels [17:08]
kakobrekla but he doesnt own his key anymore? [17:09]
joecool kakobrekla: i thought that was just a rumor, for months everyone thought he sold his forum login too, yet he claims not since he came back to irc [17:10]
kakobrekla dik. [17:11]
mircea_popescu joecool was a fact back then. [17:12]

mircea_popescu 22:13 rg soon you guys can invest in BitVPS [17:22]

mircea_popescu good old days lol [17:23]
cornfeedhobo lol [17:24]
mircea_popescu cornfeedhobo isn't support the hell computer afficionados go to die in ? [17:24]
joecool cornfeedhobo: still think the best was seeing a minor (danieldaniel) lend btc to a heroin addict (rg), -otc is always good entertainment [17:26]
cornfeedhobo that is certainly what i have always thought [17:26]
cornfeedhobo indeed [17:26]
cornfeedhobo and cry about not getting it back. lol [17:26]
mircea_popescu jborkl: What was the rate, 7% per day? Or week << per week [17:27]
mircea_popescu but he had an insider deal where he paid the various captains of industry more so they got the idea to resell. [17:27]
mircea_popescu joecool when was this ? [17:27]
joecool mircea_popescu: about a year or so ago [17:28]
mircea_popescu after my time. [17:28]
* assbot gives voice to jborkl [17:28]
jborkl sweet action, 7% per week... seems so realistic [17:29]
thestringpuller cornfeedhobo: danieldaniel is a weird kid. [17:29]
mircea_popescu at the time, bitcoin was a few dollars and basically nobody gave much of a shit. [17:29]
thestringpuller he's trustworthy tho, or at least was. [17:29]
mircea_popescu eventually people started caring and it got crushed into the dirt, but for a year or so all sorts of bugs got to dance on the tools an' pretend. [17:30]
thestringpuller I think he spends too much time in front of a computer and not enough time sleeping with girls. [17:30]
jborkl yeah, the weekend btcst went bust it dropped to $8 [17:30]
* assbot removes voice from cornfeedhobo [17:30]
mircea_popescu it was oscilating aroudn there, at some point prior the pirate muppet was "going to ruin the price" while it went from low 6s to 7s. [17:31]
mircea_popescu that was some lulzy log [17:31]
mircea_popescu i dun recall which chan it was in tho, some pricewatchers something [17:31]
thestringpuller man i miss those days [17:32]
mircea_popescu i recall this one instance where i was going to buy some btc but the guy turned out to only have like 5 or so, and i was meh, for that much not worth my time going into paypal. [17:33]

rithm so everyone can blow me anyways [17:44]
mircea_popescu what's so offensive about it ? you had a chance to be like intelligent and prove the common man should have a voice. [17:44]
mircea_popescu you used it to prove the common man belongs silent. [17:44]
mircea_popescu either way, you know ? things should be what they are. [17:44]

mircea_popescu teh great lesson of bitcoinz : there's no backsies. [17:48]
mircea_popescu i never had any idea, but liek... teh most fundamentally humane thing actually is going "hey, try again" [17:48]
mircea_popescu that is about as unnatural as it gets. [17:48]

mircea_popescu anyway, better off this way, had the democratic delusions failed to explode we'd just have been belabouring under falsepremises for this interval mostl likely, wouldn't have the lordship list and the supremely valuable understanding of what hierarchy means in society and why equalitarianism is the fruit of the devil jacking off and so on.

* rithm goes to kill himself [17:55]
thestringpuller mircea_popescu: well just don't get arrested over freedom of speech lol << speech isn't really a freedom at that point is it? [18:01]
mircea_popescu quite. [18:01]
mircea_popescu i wonder how many people noticed the subtle change from freedom of speech to an alleged "right" of free speech. [18:02]
thestringpuller http://www.livingstondaily.com/story/news/local/community/brighton/2014/12/21/cursing-teen-mill-pond-ignites-debate-freedom-speech/20745957/ << this guy [18:02]
mircea_popescu the difference between rights and freedoms being essentially the difference between pearl necklaces and dog collars. [18:02]
mircea_popescu thestringpuller not bad. [18:02]
mircea_popescu in any case : a freedom is something the people have, and the state can't take away. the rights are constructions that the state gives, and so the state can take away. [18:03]
mircea_popescu trading a freedom for a right is always a bad deal. [18:03]
mircea_popescu and it's what generally happens whenever a state claims to be "protecting rights". it's not protecting anything, it's stealing freedom and issuing in its place token "rights". which, much like its paper currency, are fiat worthlessness. [18:04]

mike_c it was more meant as a rebuttal to his comment. people who have nothing to contribute type in here often :) he was a glaring example. [18:13]
mike_c btw kakobrekla, i was thinking possible an easy solution to the whole problem of "negrated person won't leave" might be another command. like !recheck Anduck. then if his l2 is no good assbot boots him. [18:14]
mircea_popescu the link actually is to his previous bout of derping here [18:14]

mike_c until the person parts [18:15]
thestringpuller mike_c: there will always be netsplits [18:15]
mircea_popescu nah, !down works once l2 trust is <1 [18:15]
kakobrekla well, the delay is the duration of his connection, which isnt too bad considering this is freenode. [18:15]

mircea_popescu leaving a loophole there deliberately where someone with >1 l1 and 0 l2 can still voice themselves [18:19]
mircea_popescu but can also be devoiced whenever [18:19]
mircea_popescu then we can count how often this happens to de-l1 people. [18:19]
kakobrekla no the 'problem' is that if gribble hops and you reup you will be able to down everyone who has not reupped or some shit like that [18:20]
mircea_popescu is this a notable problem ? [18:21]
joecool gribble nor fleanode are exactly reliable [18:21]
