Jere_Jones: What is the image at the end of http://trilema.com/2014/bitcoin-was-written-by-the-retarded-part-ii/ ?
Vexual: neo-bee.com has an image of a man with a rope standing next to a chair in the middle of a room
mircea_popescu: who broke the pipes
ThickAsThieves: the badoom tss was for 'give him a link'\
ThickAsThieves: all you have to do is auto-include your "it all started on IRC, like all good things these days" line before you speka in public
gribble: The operation succeeded.
Vexual: tied in the celar
Jere_Jones: Rich? Eh. The depth on Havelock is so thin that I'd wipe out the entire orderbook down to 1 satoshi. So it isn't like I can actually cash out.
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, yeah, was just pointing another fact
mircea_popescu: there's a slight difference between stat analysis and entropy measuring, but anyway
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic the problem of rng quality only appears on large datasets.
Apocalyptic: then i don't trust my hd RNG very much
mircea_popescu: so then that
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic you know the von neumann coin debias algo ?
Apocalyptic: do you need random bytes that others do not have a copy of? // now -assets has them, seems about right
mircea_popescu: there you go.
asciilifeform: Apocalyptic: more importantly, do you need random bytes that others do not have a copy of?
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, just 8 bytes, I need the best entropy i can reallistically get
Jere_Jones: What's the budget and timeline?
mircea_popescu: devthedev you mean generally or what ?
asciilifeform: seems like there was a time when anyone with something to write had decent penmanship.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's the good king vlad.
mircea_popescu: fortheseslanders
ThickAsThieves: i'm betting it leans slightly to the left
pankkake: my signature is never the same
diametric: its popescu's all the way down
asciilifeform: i wonder how many other people are szabo now.
mircea_popescu: they're doing textual analysis on me, coming to th conclusion i'm nick szabo
mircea_popescu: i think some people here actually found this place because they ran over something she said.
asciilifeform: just, how low does the signal to noise ratio need to go
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i meant you in the sense of your firm, naturally
Duffer1: the rabbit hole, it goes deeper https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=462370.msg5341519#msg5341519
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: one of the great mysteries that my puny brain is powerless to digest is why you & mpoepr haven't decamped and left that forum to the radioactive cockroaches and rats
pankkake: there has been like three scams in a week
pankkake: I forced myself to log out and missed all the good things!
ThickAsThieves: they are on sale havent you heard?
mircea_popescu: o look, they could have got a mpex seat
ThickAsThieves: they were hacked right? C-T
mircea_popescu: "So above you see pankkake continue to smear the company ActiveMining (by calling it an investment scam, associating it with the known 'LabCoin scam', saying the CEO is facing jail and accusing me of being a scammer (!)) after Ken publicly refused to pay pankkake's blackmail money demand."
ThickAsThieves: what's wrong with these people
kakobrekla: did you make the chart Bugpowder?
asciilifeform: the same ones who came up in your research of 'sovereign citizen' crapola
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is a whole u.s. subculture of astoundingly illiterate folks who will fall for this
mircea_popescu: the true part is that gun dealers are being squeezed by obama's goons exactly on the pp side.
pankkake: yes, I almost invested in usagi stuff but people said noooooooooooooo and then there was no usagi
ThickAsThieves: how cna they print that shit
ThickAsThieves: "Guncoin claims to exist out of a real public need. In the United States it is very difficult to find conventional payment processors willing to serve online firearm dealers. When a third party payment processor is willing to process a transaction it involves an incredibly high fee."
BingoBoingo: It wouldn't be the first time.
Duffer1: this is a bizarre troll, i wonder what the endgame is
mircea_popescu: "The information & proof has now all been given to the buyer to do with as they please (legal action) - (see below), now with their consent I have the approval to post the identity of this Troll."
ThickAsThieves: and there is def evidence of 2+coin accounts being sold
mircea_popescu: all these names i don't know
ThickAsThieves: so there will be persistence
mircea_popescu: listen, with the new 0day scammer registration programme, does ignoring even serve any purpose anymore ?
ThickAsThieves: tahts the forum
mircea_popescu: isn't it fucking pathetic ? i mean it's obv the girls aren't there cause of the guy.
mircea_popescu: " The Fed isn't printing."
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves meanwhile i got the list.
ThickAsThieves: crumbs is basically who almost knows what he's talking about but usually takes the trolling just ove rthe edge
mircea_popescu: who am i close to, thermos ? bear ?
mircea_popescu: "Due to the real identity of these troll accounts belonging to Mircea Popescu and how close he believes himself to be to the higher echelons of Bitcoin including the Mods/Admins of this forum, i don't believe this post to last long."
mircea_popescu: "The proof of this has been sent to the person who paid for my services which cannot and will not be shown on here, due to the backlash this will bring including personal information for him and other users who have trusted him."
ThickAsThieves: crumbs uses another name now
Duffer1: the ActM goatse was perfect
asciilifeform: the days of ham-handed 'nsakey' are long gone.
mircea_popescu: i guess i didn't realise at the time just how deep it goes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you seen the shit ?
mircea_popescu: "This means theoretically that if youve been using the flawed iOS or OS X systems since then, a hacker on your shared network could have captured all your data that should have been SSL- or TSL-encrypted for the past 18 months."
Duffer1: taking your board to the MPsummit stringpuller? :D
ThickAsThieves: i see coindesk assumed the market cap on havelock was actually that
ThickAsThieves: uh oh they mentioned Havelock
ThickAsThieves: ebay needs some lessons on how to deal with trolls http://www.theverge.com/2014/2/24/5442358/war-of-words-heats-up-between-carl-icahn-and-ebay-with-accusations-of
ThickAsThieves: another factor to consider
thestringpuller: or some other signal...?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller we're out of signal atm.
mircea_popescu: not like you'll have any problem unloading to the reddit crowd anyway
Jere_Jones: The "IPVO" started in october. It ended yesterday.
Jere_Jones: Duh. "They", not "you"
mircea_popescu: how long have they been trading ?
jurov: they don't seem to have any product. to get merchants onboard, you need some pos terminal
mircea_popescu: Jere_Jones did they ever publish a statement ?
thestringpuller: what are they even making money from if they don't charge people to accept payments on their network...
mircea_popescu: Jere_Jones so they got a bunch of advertising in cyprus done. by my count that's worth ~0, and they have a pretty clueless ceo/management team, which is the end of the story.
Jere_Jones: It's nonvoting so the only thing that matters is future value + future dividends.
assbot: !mp <signcrypted dpaste.com url> (desc: returns the response from MPEX order)
Jere_Jones: At what point does the price of NEOBEE become silly?
mircea_popescu: face of a beggar, like a female hygiene product with wings, hair between the tits and whey coming out of ears.
Duffer1: "Well ... I see a creature with mecla the beggar , like pad with wings . Between her tits have hair in their ears and runny die nears surprised sweating onion sauce ."
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 lemme write it down for you then.
mircea_popescu: ghetz is a translation of hungarian word for cum, transformed into a verb by the romanian method of verbing (utterly foreign to hungarian)
mircea_popescu: the other guy pretends to mishear "sa te ghetzalesc in gusa ?" which'd be... you want me to cum down your throat ?
mircea_popescu: an indicative example : loud music, the blue guy asks "cine-i la usa" (who's at the door)
mircea_popescu: you need a fucking postdoc to even understand the whole thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's insanely hard to. most romanian native speakers could not write down the average episode even if they were given unlimited replays.
Duffer1: what does the red one say at 1:05?
mircea_popescu: it is utterly untranslatable, but it is also the only cultural product of contemporary romania that i'd bother mention.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, if you're at all curious, by very far the best contemporary employ of the romanian equivalent of mat is this bunch of kids making a cartoon.
mircea_popescu: putin is probably the strongest leader russia had since roughly speaking ivan
mircea_popescu: one thing he did well was the choice of successor.
mircea_popescu: lol i like that white lada there
mircea_popescu: was it him or yeltsin that actually fired at the duma ?
mircea_popescu: it's kind of funny that US govt official policy back in the 80s, such as "government is bad generally and big government worse" etc is today regarded as fringe opinion.
mircea_popescu: the teflon don of bitcoin.
Apocalyptic: <ThickAsThieves> when will they catch Ver on something? // I'm waiting for Vessenes
mircea_popescu: and i guess no ak47-ing of the anwar sadat this time
mircea_popescu: (i get that neither are very good at their respective thing, but still, discussing in principle)
ThickAsThieves: when will they catch Ver on something?
mircea_popescu: what's the worse situation, for a fraudster to associate with a drug dealer or vice versa ?
mircea_popescu: i can't discern whether shrem defending mtgox on twitter is worse for shrem or worse for mtgox.
mircea_popescu: he really got something in there.
jurov: "These are values uplifted by bandits, not brethren." ooooh so romantic "DDD
ThickAsThieves: "Paying 30 btc to get access to trading on mpex would be a huge misstake for 99.99% of all people, especially as some got access to that for free in the beginning."
ThickAsThieves: "there's nothing wrong with my education you can't get much higher actually"
ThickAsThieves: i love how thy then tries to say english is not his first language
mircea_popescu: particularly lulzy set of idiots there anyhow
mircea_popescu: check out ThickAsThieves owning the field...
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: curious if famous anal-ist takes the challenge.
mircea_popescu: no srsly, they should. make usagi an officer.
BingoBoingo: They day is young, bigger derps are inevitable
Apocalyptic: err... derp of the day ?
Apocalyptic: "<epscy> maybe the foundation should run an insurance scheme, if they run the satoshi client and follow best practices the foundation would pay out for any losses due to bugs in the software"
mircea_popescu: "Mr Mike like totally great stuff can you tell me like is it true about the forwarding ?"
mircea_popescu: the20year you're now ready to work for NBC as a social media, tech and start-ups specialist.
the20year: I heard that Bill gates is buying AOL out and if you have AOL and windows they will pay you $5,000 as long as you forward the message
mircea_popescu: wow they charge for that ?
mircea_popescu: most porn today is webcams because how the fuck are you going to get paid for a jpeg
mircea_popescu: and from the anals of stupid : chick that identifies as "Digital @NBC Owned Television Stations. I tweet media, tech & startups. California transplant, opinions are mine." wants to know if this pic is legit : "So.. I got this WhatsApp message from one of my contacts this morning, real thing? pic.twitter.com/mLAMw9hmUY "
mircea_popescu: http://webmasters.totemcash.com/top100.php << meanwhile check out that sadness. one guy laundering money and $150 a month to make the top 100.
mircea_popescu: Despite they both signed a contract and have been paid, we've been ordered by a French judge to cease using their images and to terminate any licencing of them. We appealed from that decision but meanwhile we have to comply with the judge's order."
mircea_popescu: "As we were letting you know back on the 15th of May 2013, two models filled lawsuits against Totem Entertainment and Totem Front Office alleging we were using their images without their authorization.
mircea_popescu: apparently selling couches on credit to people who have horrible credit ratings in the hopes they'll find change in the very couches to pay for the couches didn't work out
jurov: girl schouts must be protected from potheads
mircea_popescu: im guessing the only way to safeguard the nation is banning girlscout cookie sales, girls, scouts and cookies.
Duffer1: they had to come up with some local ordinance since a couple of them got clever and sold out - can't allow little girls hanging around stoners to become popular
mircea_popescu: "This is actually good news. I applaud Mark and the MtGox team for making the right decision as I had to do the same. Speaking very lengthy to Mark and the team over the weekend, I see good news on the horizon for people who have funds stuck in MtGox (I also have funds in MtGox stuck)" < shrem
mircea_popescu: so firefox is making a 25 dolla phone, facebook is hoping to spin the watsap disaster into a phone...
random_cat: oic, the bitcointalk thread is actually a link with a referrer code
random_cat: mircea: apparently the operator is looking for "investors" and posted a bitcointalk thread which got picked up by blockchain.info... see https://ro-invest.com/
mircea_popescu: anyway, where's the quote from ? forum ?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i'd guess they had easier access to a bunch of truck drivers ?
ThickAsThieves: "Neo Bee, I hope you are the AOL of Bitcoin, and not the next iteration of Mtgox." lol
ThickAsThieves: wouldent even have 30 btc so how do you even think they would even be in the target group for your stockexchange, is just redicules."
ThickAsThieves: "If you claim that for some reason that it would be better for people to invest in stocks or something else on mpex then doing carefully selection on what investments and where on other plattfors or avoid investing in anything at all if they don't have the correct knoledge. Then you may kindly explain why and how it would be better for the avg investors as im pretty sure most of them
random_cat: ro invest: ponzi of the day?
ThickAsThieves: they are an awkward representative, being that they are blue collar middle/upper-middle class
mircea_popescu: they're in on it!
cazalla: he is NEO, you are like the buzzing of flies to him
jurov: ThickAsThieves: i can, like, really go there and exchange bitcoins or do anything meaningful?
ozbot: Bitcoin was written by the retarded, part II pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
jurov: oh that. iconsidered writing about, too..but everyone accepts the accounts dysfunctionality as completely normal thing
jurov: mircea_popescu: when will the mpoe bot go back?
BingoBoingo: Well, not under 150 at the moment.
mircea_popescu: How about next time you RT https://twitter.com/Mircea_Popescu/status/437823752571588608 instead of being an ass. @Bitcoin @MtGox DELETES everything from their twitter account.
mircea_popescu: @Bitcoin · 48m Mt. Gox @MtGox DELETES everything from their twitter account http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1yrqpm/mtgox_deletes_all_tweets_from_their_twitter_feed/
benkay: yeah 400 robots under the sea worth a stupid amount of money
nubbins`: uh, how the fuck is it 3:30am?
mircea_popescu: "The current center of this activity is Namibia, with offshore reserves estimated at more than 1.5 billion carats." << look at that, almost one diamond for each marrigeable girl!
mircea_popescu: there's this distinction i make between people who are genuinely fat and people who are visibly fastfood fat.
midnightmagic: cazalla: Just counter with the fact that virtually any rabbit everywhere that doesn't carry a toxic heavy metal load or weird foreign exotic parasites can be eaten.
mircea_popescu: benkay "There are over 400 collectively worth more than $1.5 billion in operation today and their numbers are increasingly rapidly."
nubbins`: anyway, i was interested to learn that in the original gospel of mark, jesus dies and that's the end of the fucking book
mircea_popescu: seeing how tjhey don't understand what anything is, they may just as well buy it.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` fortunately for you, there exists a large contingent of themarkwifes on twitter, reddit etc
nubbins`: who knows, maybe we can sell a copy to the university library
nubbins`: exciting stuff, although nerdy enough that i don't think anyone besides the two of us will be interested
cazalla: as long as you have a source of fat (and I have chickens for the eggs too), it's not an issue to eat lots of rabbit meat
nubbins`: calling it "the gospel not according to mark" (because it's not according to him), and omitting the resurrection entirely (as it wasn't in the original)
cazalla: mircea_popescu: i hear it from others IRL
nubbins`: so we're going to produce a copy of the gospel according to mark, with scriptio continua greek and modern english on opposing pages
nubbins`: hm, was mentioning this in -otc because luke was there, but you guys might find this interesting as well
cazalla: yes i know, which is why i don't eat them but if you only had rabbit to eat, you'd need to eat the brain and organs to survive otherwise rabbit starvation as nubbins referred to
mircea_popescu: in that we never know wtf prions they got.
nubbins`: but after a few days you'd be at a point where you're willing to cut the fat off your own body to eat
mircea_popescu: eating the brains of any mammal is dangerous
nubbins`: implication was only eating the meat
cazalla: have rabbits, have sausage add on thingo for the kitchenaid
mircea_popescu: this'd be by far the most important property too look for in that entire "textual analysis" story.
mircea_popescu: check it out, "The rest of this article fill look"
nubbins`: and just yammer about the meats i grind etc
mircea_popescu: bitcoinwife is doing the work
mircea_popescu: well im baking in the sense i'm running bitbet.
ozbot: Vietnow- Rage Against the Machine (Lyrics) - YouTube
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the inquiring minds that wish to know : yesterday i had spinach in bechamel with small shrimps,
nubbins`: but rage against the popular music group tells me that fear is my only god
mircea_popescu: astroglide could have just used crop treatment helicopters to dump gallons of lube on the crowd
mircea_popescu: still, if the people trying to get obama reelected had enough sense to only pay a few girls to get it all started, judghing correctly the white knight idiocy of the frustrated male will do the rest
nubbins`: not the only thing that would have swollen
mircea_popescu: pretty much the one way a crowd of nobodies can disrupt modern society.
nubbins`: occupy crowd should've listened to the invisible committee ;(
nubbins`: "Another reflex is to call a general assembly at the slightest sign of movement, and vote. This is a mistake. The business of voting and deciding a winner, is enough to turn the assembly into a nightmare, into a theater where all the various little pretenders to power confront each other. Here we suffer from the bad example of bourgeois parliaments. An assembly is not a place for decisions but for
BingoBoingo: The actual 1% http://guestofaguest.com/new-york/instant-expert/the-original-one-percenter
mircea_popescu: imagine if dimon started mocking the womenz
mircea_popescu: nubbins` yes except the ws top brass didn't participate
benkay: the everyone
benkay: it's all the same thing, nubbins`
r3wt: you can catch me on the wallstreet journal and time magazine homeboy :D
mircea_popescu: and mock the plebs.
nubbins`: and not like a young man on the verge of tears
mircea_popescu: it's so sad the various fiat banks don't hold a trollbox where their top manageemnt could come by
BitcoinSachs: I have nothing left to add to this trollbox. You guys all know how pathetic you are. I just wanted to swing by and make sure someone told you. Have a good night.
mircea_popescu: that way the fact we're related to bitcoin will be quite clear to everyone!
gribble: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: Wait, people can't just adopt titles like "The wife of Bitcoin" or "The Sachs of Bitcoin" and it just automagically becomes true?
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nono, the relation between this twerp and gs is about the same as the relation between the btcwife and btc.
r3wt: no hot ass filipina chick gets on a damn sports forum, there's no way in hell
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a cat is the equiv of a chick
r3wt: yeah i got banned from the forum for mocking he/she
mircea_popescu: nubbins` yeah but you're not a self absorbed asshole quite to the degree we are.
r3wt: Reminds me of this cat who used to get on the forums at school and pretend to be a 18 year old filipina chick
mircea_popescu: i've done this plenty of times, "i'm with her". functionally the same thing
nubbins`: yes, but only because i have a vague understanding of the type of female company you keep
mircea_popescu: nubbins` can you see "The MP wife" ?
