benkay: am i the only one who knows who satoshi is?
benkay: you've not really modeled this, have you TestingUnoDosTre?
benkay: probably accelerating the collapse down there...
benkay: argentina has a very very wealthy group of bitcoiners
benkay: happens all the time radan
benkay: i'm suggesting that others may run the analysis differently.
benkay: that's your risk analysis.
benkay: just because i trust you to not fuck me does not mean that you won't.
benkay: this is the thing about trust
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: satoshi still has the private key for the addr in question, no?
benkay: just think about what i said for a bit. it's just a different perspective.
benkay: but hey all jabs aside
benkay: neat to be told what investing is from a petro-engineer in training lol
benkay: plus sharing keys is anathema.
benkay: as soon as i crack that drive i know satoshi.
benkay: totally out of the scope of normal behavior.
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: every day i don't move those coins elsewhere is a day of risking not having them.
benkay: radan if i might offer a slightly different perspective, you didn't invest in Bitcoin - you bought some bitcoins.
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: don't know that i understood your question.
benkay: lol cool
benkay: rough life man.
benkay: hah yeah
benkay: and what valuable skills are you developing?
benkay: maybe. not likely.
benkay: ideally, stop accruing debt - that'll make you more than 2BTC ever will.
benkay: cold wallet. forget about it. learn to earn.
benkay: bitcoin ain't gonna make you rich
benkay: buddy you gotta get back to work lol
benkay: 3k?
benkay: 2k?
benkay: who knows is the point
benkay: everything about bitcoin on bitslog is worth at least a perusal.
benkay: https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/satoshi-machine-one-mystery-is-solved-and-another-opens/
benkay: and some more
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: ^^
benkay: ?
benkay: radan: req'd reading: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1009
benkay: no guessing allowed. you have a blockchain and can answer this question for yourself now.
benkay: has he spent any?
benkay: more of a scale thing than a boolean thing, radan.
benkay: or one of our wimmins, if we're sticking to the literal interpretation.
benkay: in that sense, the dollar could be said to be pegged by the shadowy group of people in #bitcoin-assets
benkay: ;;ud pegging
benkay: what does mean "pegged"?
benkay: what do you think?
benkay: mhm.
benkay: what happens when you have 20 dollars, and there are 1b dollars today, and 1.01b dollars tomorrow?
benkay: you broke socrates, TestingUnoDosTre
benkay: gosh radan why is bitcoin so awesome?
benkay: sry infinite inflation
benkay: lite is notoriously suspect to manipulation
benkay: doge has infinite deflation
benkay: consensus?
benkay: 's also a question of what you want to *do* with computers.
benkay: there's about a light year between hacking on the kernel and using linux, TestingUnoDosTre.
benkay: company's only been around for 8 months or so, so i consider that good progress.
benkay: last* fall.
benkay: Mats_cd03: yeah. up to 115 from 80 fall.
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: meh
benkay: thestringpuller: neat find
benkay: high end technical consulting to old farts with companies who'd rather lean on me and my boys than run their own shit
benkay: derpy web apps dot butts

benkay: dexX7: i'm assuming all sorts of shit like you're running *nix etc
benkay: :D
benkay: well, acceptable.
benkay: trance is good
benkay: man scp
benkay: secure copy
benkay: dexX7: scp not a choice for some reason?
benkay: Mats_cd03: can you hit me with something non-lyrics-y to which i can read source and documentation?
benkay: implying some small difference in tastes that i only noticed when the babe came by to apply her test.
benkay: this music you linked passes the babe test, ergo i must burn it with fire and expunge from my area.
benkay: this is the babe test of previous mention.
benkay: savvy?
benkay: this babe likes some musics.
benkay: you savvy?
benkay: there is a babe in my house.
benkay: babe test. babe likes it. only hemisarcastic.
benkay: you don't say.
benkay: "It was said that the boat could have been made as good as new by putting on a new steel bottom, but that apparently Mr. Cochran preferred not to do that."
benkay: Mats_cd03: this means i must ban it from the house.
benkay: Mats_cd03: Saint Motel passes the babe test.
benkay: it's even enjoyable for the reader sometimes. other times..."read recycled books! they're easy to write, and read good!"
benkay: authors have this dirty habit of milking their creative work for decades.
benkay: there were several books in the Space Odessy series worth reading too.
benkay: you may get a kick out of LW then. moderately more populated solar system; better understanding of biology etc.
benkay: feeling kinda dated at this point, but i haven't read it in at least a decade and you might not want to take a dependency on my notions of things at that age.
benkay: ...
benkay: it's simply "Wakes"
benkay: o/
benkay: til mircea_popescu is actually a composite personality of a bunch of humans educated by some well engineered weak ai
benkay: wait how did i get roped into doing trilema support
benkay: if your client broke the url, you'll get a random page.
benkay: well as you can see it's written in english
benkay: ;;google trilema drug dealer
benkay: they are in fact out to get you.
benkay: your future wot 'value' is a function of who's rated you, what #, and how long ago.
benkay: dilutes the attention paid to any given pair.
benkay: you could probably buy btc off the craig too
benkay: 's where the buttsecks be, TestingUnoDosTre.
benkay: can't be that hard
benkay: on demand
benkay: diametric wants to be buttsecksd
benkay: consider how you might leverage a strong WoT identity that you explictly control.
benkay: eh, you can't afford true anonymity, TestingUnoDosTre.
benkay: ;;google aws wordpress ami
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: face to face
benkay: Mats_cd03: you might enjoy a book /Leviathan Wakes/
benkay: merp derpin
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: f2f is far safer.
benkay: how was elysium, Mats_cd03?
benkay: THIS IS BITCOIN
benkay: this isn't an internet thing where there's a great big easy buy button.
benkay: do your due dilligence.
benkay: get to know the humans.
benkay: so ask around.
benkay: sure
benkay: if their reputation is solid enough, they don't really benefit from ripping you off for 1k.
benkay: another scenario, someone's committing to sending you btc for your moneypak or whatever.
benkay: one scenario, someone's promising 7% a month or something crazy.
benkay: different risk profiles, though.
benkay: sure.
benkay: i can't believe that I don't have an -otc essay
benkay: see, mircea_popescu and i have rated each other. you can also look at my profile and see with whom i've traded btc.
benkay: ;;gettrust mircea_popescu
benkay: well, that's the web of trust
benkay: typically western union, perfect money.
benkay: go ask in -otc, TestingUnoDosTre. have cash ready on the spot, or else they won't want to bother with you.
benkay: hey BingoBoingo
benkay: -otc: "over the counter".
benkay: the best way to fund a bitstamp account is with btc :D
benkay: oh i thought you'd been around for a few months.
benkay: make your initial btc buy the right way, then put those btc on bitstamp for trading.
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: why don't you do it over -otc?
benkay: ;;@-#
benkay: wowee five fiddy
benkay: ;;ticker
benkay: i only had one cup of coffee today.
benkay: you know what it is?
benkay: small price to prevent DAMMIT
benkay: mircea_popescu kakobrekla radan: http://www.bycycleinc.com/
benkay: every day.
benkay: or getting trolled hard. who can ever tell.
benkay: mircea_popescu: must be off my feed or out of practice or something
benkay: SO CONFUS
benkay: ninjashogun: web wallets are anathema.
benkay: well the pit is prepared for his afternoon training. i'm off to make him a better dog.

benkay: wat
benkay: ;;google cascadian hacker 2fa
benkay: not as though 2fa really helps if your counterparties are incompetent
benkay: far easier to have this conversation with the lady in question present.
benkay: but on the internet, say anything off party line and get burnt.
benkay: american feminism is totally down with lifestyle bdsm man
benkay: well its twitter. i imagine she has to stake out some controversial stance.
benkay: fuck if i can figure out how to link to a specific tweet
benkay: "Feminism is not a gulag–it’s not like there are guards that'll shoot you if you try to escape." http://time.com/30397/duke-porn-star-is-right-kink-can-be-a-feminist-choice/ … idk still skeptical
benkay: hey mircea_popescu wouldja invite @anjiecast to join us?
benkay: single tear.
benkay: well you gotta hedge by taking the commissioner out to dinner regularly too
benkay: mhm
benkay: way better
benkay: !t h rent
benkay: whatever happened to hiring muscle?
benkay: murca!
benkay: Mats_cd03: derpy web apps
benkay: good one, Mats_cd03. that's what i'm doing.
benkay: i wonder if it reflects something about culture. leaving the boom/bust of pushing crystals through a delicate membrane for a more even dosage level over a longer period of time.
benkay: everything old is new again.
benkay: and it was just one of them.
benkay: "smart".
benkay: subject of the Vin Mariani the smart kids have introduced me to their new favorite habit of dissolving high-grade cocaine in high-test alcohol and eyedroppering it into their drinks
benkay: relevant yet unrelated photo of lines
benkay: leastaways seems that way hurr hurr hurr
benkay: you're coked to the gills in here regularly, Mats_cd03.
benkay: shit to do these days.
benkay: not as many as i once did
benkay: that guy.
benkay: ah kanye
benkay: ;;seen Vexual
benkay: filthy capital intensive operations
benkay: Mats_cd03: kinda anemic.
benkay: needs more context, radan.
benkay: ah
benkay: all the allah wankery on your blog
benkay: Mats_cd03: MOAR TRAXX
benkay: radan you're a muslim?
benkay: i like this one
benkay: lol karpeles is satoshi
benkay: Mats_cd03: ninjashogun's an expert in all the fields. how dare you!
benkay: tits are too big tho.
benkay: swear to god i know that girl.
benkay: .bait
benkay: let it go, midnightmagic.
benkay: no quadrillion dollar exit or anything, but the mgmt team had accelerated vesting in place for everyone with options, so it looks like a chunk of the PDX clojure group will be taking rather nice vacations this year if the workload ever slows down.
benkay: "here's a team that's actually built a thing that makes money. let's buy the thing and leverage the team's proven track record of shipping high-quality software to ameliorate our dependency on ancient internal tooling."
benkay: they just got bought by BBVA, iirc. from what i understand the spaniards want to leverage the stack that Simple built out for themselves across a load of different networks.
benkay: "i mean yeah - it's a US bank. they likely won't do a runner with your cash. they're also just like every other bank in the states, except maybe not running on mainframes older than yourself and myself put together."
benkay: a friend was curious about http://www.simple.com: "their advertising pitch seemed to be: 'coffee. flannel. dogs. bank. flannel. guitars on a porch. bank.'"
benkay: consumer banking is so commoditized that apparently one can accidentally operate a bank.
benkay: (correction: vice hasn't fixed the pagedown)
benkay: we've adapted.
benkay: re lines that's been a staple for a good millenia or so tho
benkay: really?
benkay: scrolling *has* to impose additional cognitive load.
benkay: "except people who read at a reasonable speed!"
benkay: functionality my ux-perts tell me nobody uses any more.
benkay: it seems that Vice is the only publication on the internet who've been able to implement a bootstrap header without totally fucking the page-down functionality of yore.
benkay: cooking bacon too, you see.
benkay: ;;ud shirt cocking
benkay: it's glorious.
benkay: so the girl draped some gauzy fabric in front of the apartment window; we verified that nobody can see in during the day, and now i'm at my standing desk aka the kitchen island shirt-cocking hard
benkay: i should fix that.
benkay: i was under the impression that 2% was an outrageous return in btc.
benkay: srs? in btc?
benkay: smart money is big money.
benkay: but buffet, mannnnnn
benkay: i've been looking for fb puts on the same scale.
benkay: what timeframe? just out of curiousity.
benkay: "i have a pwan! pwint MOAR!"
benkay: "but we're already printing money every week! what else are we to do?"
benkay: i start to understand the furor over QE ca 2007
benkay: good times
benkay: 2001-2003
benkay: talking about this?
benkay: nice steady rate of inflation in the usd?
benkay: plus context?
benkay: pastebin?
benkay: PMB's == value
benkay: so all of GLBSE is worthwhile i guess.
benkay: you miss the point again.
benkay: valuation ≠ value.
benkay: ip-over-dead-goat!
benkay: kakobrekla save us
benkay: you're incapable of even convincing the government to pay your welfare.
