benkay: hello?
benkay: hard to tell on the internet.
benkay: or maybe just a shibboleth
benkay: implies b) c) or d) definitions for word
benkay: u savvy scare quotes?
benkay: who are you again?
benkay: well, 'sock'
benkay: ah well bitfunder == legit then nooz to me
benkay: no subtlety, these guys.
benkay: zacm, arizona, tg2
benkay: silly socks are silly, trolling with old news
benkay: or very much the old news.
benkay: not the old news?
benkay: something's fishy.
benkay: truffles is back, all these new faces
benkay: did i hear truffles is back?
benkay: maybe reconsider the point-of-sale angle, sir.
benkay: "nobody knows how to make movies, but there are some people who know how to not make movies"
benkay: ;;google trilema variety speak
benkay: what what, in the butt
benkay: what?
benkay: you're all after the same thing but not competitors?
benkay: .asciibait
benkay: just say no.
benkay: bitcoin consumer tech, man.
benkay: well that's better than a QR sticker.
benkay: where's the overlap between "educational aspects" and "tools to add liquidity"?
benkay: add liquidity how?
benkay: what kinda biz, domsch?
benkay: MPEx is the big target.
benkay: jig up?
benkay: yeah well then do your dilligence on trust ratings.
benkay: "wtb btc with moneypak 2kusd"
benkay: it goes like this mike_c
benkay: people are insufficiently wary about touching both the fiat rail and the crypto rail at the same time.
benkay: why does it depend on where you live? even in the states one can buy moneypak with cash.
benkay: it is *moderately* inconvenient.
benkay: know how much you want to buy, have it in a moneypak.
benkay: otc is not really a pain in the ass.
benkay: dude mike_c buying over irc is way more fun
benkay: "The steal-all-your-money rate of bitcoin businesses is running right around 100%, and you're going to lecture people that "they can only ever lose a small portion of all stored user funds"? Really?"
benkay: let's give the shitshow some credit, shall we?
benkay: if you have 2 classes of shares, maybe track both classes of shares with the share tracking thing.
benkay: as designed, sure, not really a good idea to set people up to do a runner.
benkay: well this is a design of exchange thing
benkay: or .7 or w/e.
benkay: the problem is this manual "half the shares are not on the exchange" thing.
benkay: pardon?
benkay: mircea_popescu: list all shares on mpex. divs can only be paid to full float. remove a source of pebkac errors.
benkay: APE-WIL FEWLS
benkay: bitbet also mining farm
benkay: 1%
benkay: asciilifeform:just about every interesting technology attributed to a mega-organization was done on 'stolen time.' << yeah, as always, asciilifeform has it
benkay: s/wholehearted/wholesale
benkay: ;;later tell Duffer1 NASA was just a wholehearted theft of european talent. nothing endogenous to the USA.
benkay: what kind of cabal is this anyways
benkay: rand-ish
benkay: phprand
benkay: i see you debugging -assets in production, mike_c
benkay: now i have to read the logs
benkay: mike_c: i for one do not appreciate the fix
benkay: stoppitkako well done
benkay: happy april
benkay: i'm considering telling a PM that all of his company's backups failed and have been corrupted for the past month.
benkay: Mats_cd03: did you check the date?
benkay: but for now, cafe lifestyle
benkay: chetty: some day this year i'll get an office and move back to multiple monitors
benkay: i'm sure nothing happened
benkay: actually nvm
benkay: ugh fix the logs
benkay: artifexd: if you don't strive for efficiency in your process in the first place...
benkay: sublime text
benkay: no its too good
benkay: be great
benkay: "ethereum ready for big boy time"
benkay: "popescu reverses stance on colored coins"
benkay: bitcoin might go up 100 dollars on the lulz
benkay: SO LULZ
benkay: it'd be soooo lulzy to get -pr to troll btctalk with that
benkay: distributed autonomous corporation
benkay: april fewls
benkay: bitbet is now a dac
benkay: derpstributed application bitbet
benkay: Mats_cd03: you druggie
benkay: what, you're going to rep the DHS now ThickAsThieves ?
benkay: artifexd: started with 419ers
benkay: better tickets
benkay: fewer tickets
benkay: yeah they definitely need less programming that's for sure
benkay: finesse
benkay: i don't know man. i think relationship with this client calls for a little subtlety
benkay: oh ho ho up yours too
benkay: pankkake: it's also my shop.
benkay: not really a good idea to say 'fuck it' mid deploy conversation.
benkay: relationships are important
benkay: i'm staring at my email, billing by the quarter hour, waiting for someone to drop the ball hard enough for me to call off a deploy on my own.
benkay: instead
benkay: i'd rather be hacking on a bitcoin thing and not getting paid right now.
benkay: you guys want to hear something stupid?
benkay: just a motley collection of individuals, with individual tastes and preferences.
benkay: nope.jpg
benkay: I'm hostile to unsubstantiated claims.
benkay: what is this we nonsense
benkay: we're hostile to unsubstantiated claims.
benkay: but this zone is filled with scammers who won't substantiate their claims.
benkay: if you hadn't made a claim, that'd be a different story.
benkay: you've made a claim, blackwhite.
benkay: gotta have the business first tho. no sense in "its gonna work 'cause bitcoin"
benkay: nobody making serious bank with it.
benkay: it's like consumer 'any txn we can get' ------------------------ elite '1 tx of 5m every two or three months'
benkay: ostock?
benkay: for whom has accepting bitcoin been a big business booster?
benkay: *sigh*
benkay: ('executive team')
benkay: either that or he's playing some crazy game i don't understand.
benkay: in conclusion, i have determined that the PMs incompetence is undermining his malice.
benkay: mind you i've already sent the executive team the 'deploy briefing' email i'm in the habit of sending out before deploys...
benkay: 'HOLD THE PHONES B I FORGOT TO INFORM ADMIN STAFF ABOUT DEPLOY WAIT WAIT WAIT'
benkay: ten minutes before scheduled deploy
benkay: sets us up for a deploy this afternoon
benkay: we're expensive etc
benkay: man so i have this pm who'd love nothing more than to get my guys fired
benkay: great tits on that one
benkay: acrobat a whore
benkay: or are they all the same now?
benkay: !l h rent
benkay: now is that the old tranche or the new tranche, the20year1?
benkay: wb asciilifeform :)
benkay: thestringpuller: go back to the ghetto
benkay: asciilifeform: would you pastebin?
benkay: mircea_popescu: naw man i like 'em effeminate and making dinner not deep in the server room.
benkay: in inflationary regime, static budgets are cuts, pLambert
benkay: the20year2: logs, man. gotta read 'em. sometimes just like 20 lines back.
benkay: keybase blowback ramping up: http://blog.lizdenys.com/2014/03/31/refusing-to-verify-myself/
benkay: no options, no statement, thestringpuller. who cares, anyways? it's a scam under investigation by the SEC. doomed, I tell you (to enjoy the new scion TC!)
benkay: blackwater will eventually own texas, much like the roman mercs ate the empire.
benkay: "fresh!"
benkay: fucking stupid.
benkay: also stop spraying veggies with water
benkay: vegetables in the mail for bitcoin
benkay: doesn't sound so novel.
benkay: the rest of us grub in the dirt for spuds.
benkay: what's so novel about that?
benkay: your castle needs a supply chain
benkay: or 1300
benkay: that's essentially net 45. think of the float you could be making on our backs!
benkay: fifteen days after the postmark date, we expect to see remuneration.
benkay: "great artists steal"
benkay: then we bill you.
benkay: this in fact is how we run our shop. we sit down, figure out what crazy ideas you have, how to make them into an actual thing, and then work on it at a predetermined rate for a period of time.
benkay: this is very similar to the constant ongoing mining fiasco and how product tends to get delivered (in my extremely limited experience): "you ship a thing. it shows up on my door. if it works, 30 days later i send you a check. otherwise, get out of my face."
benkay: another thing is, as i said to my colleague recently re a contractor: "ain't nobody motivated by money in the bank."
benkay: i want to ship a shitload of features! it's going to cost 500B.
benkay: it's the estimation, constraints, fractal nature of coastline, overreaching ambitions, unmanaged expectations...
benkay: sure, it's never the actual software.
benkay: man this is what i have to say to people who crowdfund software: http://iconicphotos.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/johnny-cash-finger-2.jpg?w=700
benkay: ThickAsThieves: software is hard. whocouldanode.
benkay: "Modern media exacerbate the challenge of sorting reality from orchestrated perception." http://www.farnamstreetblog.com/2014/03/stanley-mcchrystal-my-share-of-the-task/
benkay: !t h rent
benkay: wd Neil, can you share your source?
benkay: i've probly had worse
benkay: horrible idea?
benkay: ;;later tell mircea_popescu what would be the implications of sorting gribble market output by exchange volume?
benkay: nanotube: what would be the implications of sorting gribble market output by exchange volume?
benkay: o wait this is not sorted by vol
benkay: bitstamp 36k
benkay: helluva power law on the volume
benkay: ;;ticker
benkay: dunno MisterE automating gpg sounds like a recipe for disaster
benkay: join command MisterE ?
benkay: ident party
benkay: ;;gettrust bitcoinpete
benkay: on what 'exchange' did dotcoin issue the paper he later did the forced buyback on?
benkay: pankkake: what was dotcoin's operation that did the forced buyback list their 'asset'?
benkay: not really trolling. dotcoin's being evasive and the channel kinda got pissed.
benkay: let's keep this one in reserve for when the SEC gets you, mircea_popescu http://destroyed-and-abandoned.tumblr.com/image/81101546098
benkay: i'll let you know when i find the moose sausage popcorn, nubbins`
benkay: pankkake: poster?
benkay: openbsd poster?
benkay: a little burninating's fine.
benkay: for some value of same.
benkay: same with a steak!
benkay: that's like pulling just the booze out of a fine wine, nubbins`,
benkay scrambles for the 25-year s/p chart
benkay: this is tech specific and not endemic to fiat-denominated stocks?
benkay: "soup lines" -> "soup mobs"

benkay: candy crush 'character's on nyse for ipo?
benkay: now iploling feelings
benkay: don't forget to burp the thermos
benkay: you people.
benkay: lol canada
benkay: artifexd: excellent question.
benkay: mircea_popescu: i've yet to settle on a thing. canvassing people who've seen things, you see.
benkay: artifexd: me@whatever doesn't really convey the right image
benkay: i'm just startled to the sushi joint's moved on from the domain in question
benkay: no i have the domain, that's fine.
benkay: first time since i got on the internet
benkay: holy shit benkay.com is available
benkay: dorp
benkay: eg "me@"
benkay: not stupidly web2.0
benkay: not horrendously unprofessional
benkay: on an entirely different topic, what are good "me@mydomain" emails?
benkay: le sigh
benkay: "Survivors groups worry that 20 years after the genocide, international funding will dry up completely"
benkay: obviously a lot of that is NGO pearl clutching for funds.
benkay: http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/Rwanda+years+later/9674013/story.html << surely this has happened before
benkay: in the space of 1 week i have forgotten everything about the conformal btc libs
benkay: aw man
benkay: psh yeah doncha know bitcoins only useful when it goes up in value
benkay: holy smokes 450?
benkay: .bait
benkay: ;;ticker
benkay: stahp
benkay: mircea_popescu: why are you subjecting us to forum :(
benkay: just contri-putin
benkay: rly? i see a few different both boys and girls
benkay: there are two facts.
benkay: doesn't really sound like a REIT at that scale. more like a hodgepodge.
benkay: kinda one of those things you expect a REIT to be able to afford.
benkay: that's a neat position on fidiuciary media.
benkay: with a TB blockchain, they may become necessary.
benkay: AccountantPierre: fiduciary media aren't impossible, just nigh impossible
benkay: my eyes are bleeding
benkay: AccountantPierre: you said synergistically
benkay: (Diablo-D3: graiiinz)
benkay: mircea_popescu: must be my broken american brainz

benkay: i don't--
benkay: The market

benkay: BCB: all over where? i'm pretty well read and he doesn't even register on my feeds.
benkay: BCB: i've yet to read a thing from him that was particularly useful. granted, i've not dug in depth.
benkay: inability to distinguish between people who say things that sound nice to your ears and people who routinely make good calls is the source of a lot of wasted BTC.
benkay: what is good?
benkay: shh nubbins` where are your manners
benkay: BCB: so?
benkay: hey youse guise today i learned bitcoin doesn't have the discipline to be a monopoly
benkay: BCB: impossible to differentiate incompetence and malice from this dimension
