benkay_: i tried to do welfare, but the productive members of my bellybutton farm felt dragged down by the underclasses that rapidly accreted
benkay_: the ants that maintain the aphids in my bellybutton work hard for their sugar
benkay_: actually it's not welfare at all
benkay_: i am sustaining a very small welfare pool
benkay_: i am building a sustainability loop in my bellybutton
benkay_: but the few drops of sugar they poop every day taste all the better for being 100% carbon neutral
benkay_: they are small
benkay_: regularly
benkay_: i graze my livestock on my navel
benkay_: o hai :)
benkay_: you rang, mp?
benkay_: then everyone's sysadmin spends a few shitbucks on a security audit to discover american hax everywhere
benkay_: then prism
benkay_: cracks me up how for months the drumbeat was around how the us was constantly under attack from sino-based APTs
benkay_: erryone on dat security audit tip
benkay: pending scope and cost, sure
benkay: hey -assets, i have dev-hours for sale. more than happy to accept btc. i do web apps, general sysadminnery and infrastructure automation; my partner does ios and architecture, and our understudies kinda do all the above. we will build stuff foar coins.

benkay: thickasthieves re asics naw man 2 weeks!
benkay: can't regulate information symmetry
benkay: y'all have weak mental immune systems
benkay: so much body angst
benkay: that was pro-grade trolling
benkay: baww i miss tiberius
benkay: what kind of internets do you bake now?
benkay: oh good call
benkay: what *did* you train in, dub?
benkay: trader in a bull market
benkay: neat thing about making computerstuff is that it's generally repurposeable.
benkay: people with little money can't write software
benkay: people with money hate writing software
benkay: quick, to the mobile css ;)
benkay: clients pay for software
benkay: why bother
benkay: semantics
benkay: zing
benkay: market of people who can in2 terminal is like 0.01% of internet
benkay: for blockchain auditing? never.
benkay: my research turned up nothing either
benkay: an email upon breach of contract would probably be nice, neh?
benkay: well, say you enter into a relationship with someone where they guarantee a payout to you proportionate to the sum of payments into an address
benkay: is anyone aware of a bitcoin auditing service?
benkay: .h
benkay: no time for open ended questions
benkay: what
benkay: mircea_popescu ^^
benkay: hey is there a bitcoin-space wide ddos going on right now?
benkay: sorry to hear that.
benkay: "we're taking all of your money. brb."
benkay: i just got a 502 bad gateway off their main url, and checked it with downforeveryone and some proxied tunnels. i can't see gox.
benkay: oh man gox is down hard
benkay: who pays you to troll?
benkay: you're a hobbyist
benkay: come on, tiberius was a pro
benkay: afaik only professional trolls are ever banned from this channel.
benkay: <bitcoin935> never anything of value on them
benkay: <bitcoin935> i dont hangout on those shitty forums
benkay: it's actually impressive how dumb i am
benkay: hrrrrr
benkay: hey mircea_popescu how does bitbet address the assasination market thing?
benkay: bitbet's my new fave
benkay: yup.
benkay: *nod*
benkay: considering trolling the hackernews conspiracy theorists into some bets
benkay: so i'm exploring the betspace
benkay: mp noted bitbet's a good way to make money on your smarts (which I think I have) instead of your capital (which I don't)
benkay: psychoron i'm exploring the bet space
benkay: there are zero prism bets...
benkay: "able"
benkay: on cost and quality metrics?
benkay: how does that compare to a skilled whore, Chaang-Noi?
benkay: btw mircea_popescu, it might be neat to have a link in the bitbet faq to your post on cancelling a bet
benkay: bawww
benkay: mircea_popescu does bitbet publish rejected bets?
benkay: rhetorical question.
benkay: is this a bet on the rate of btc or the fucked-up-ed-ness of gox?
benkay: perennial*
benkay: the perrenial noise...
benkay: same tools on all platforms
benkay: so wtf
benkay: can you use a command line, anduck?
benkay: CHaang-Noi: how much *does* it cost to fuck a virgin?
benkay: deviations from trajectories or implementation of rejected trajectories results in swarm nuking bad nodes
benkay: nodes must declare trajectories and get those trajectories vetted by the swarm
benkay: and enjoy their swarm legal enforcement
benkay: make some voluntary tax payments
benkay: you should move into territory controlled by the distributed peoples republic of cascadia
benkay: i put on my tinfoil hat this morning reading about the US journo who died in a firey carsplosion and came to the conclusion that even refusing to drive roboticized cars won't really help you stay safe in america anymore
benkay: in other news, nobody is safe from the robocar assasination.
benkay: i have since grepped logs and now understand thing
benkay: <ozbot> MtGox wires ARE delayed
benkay: talkin bout dis, Jezz:
benkay: where's the 'is gox hosed' command?
benkay: .h
benkay: ozbot what are you doing?
benkay: must be nice to be unencumbered by unions
benkay: mood has changed here.
benkay: until 2 weeks ago i was convinced i had another decade to get rich
benkay: and i'd really hate to be preparing for shit to go tits-up ten years too early
benkay: i'd really hate to be trying to get rich right before shit went tits-up
benkay: i've been getting the jitters
benkay: part of the cycle.
benkay: *shrug*
benkay: doubt either were making law-required minimum wage.
benkay: shortly thereafter i saw not one but two men holding signs for the same company, on the same corner.
benkay: served *only* a self-serve gas station.
benkay: shit is getting *bad*
benkay: mp i saw a man holding a sign by an offramp that served a self-serve gas station yesterday.
benkay: link?
benkay: elaborate extraction games errywhere
benkay: (implying i'm trolling at all other times)
benkay: honest question, I seriously don't understand the mining bond craze.
benkay: why should i buy them, then?
benkay: ugh these coupled systems
benkay: so i'd have to keep dumping my divs back into the asset to keep my income stream up
benkay: a megahash is a megahash, except when it's a smaller piece of the pie
benkay: hm
benkay: and i'm stealthily equating the purchase of VM with the purchase of real hardware, which depreciates to zero
benkay: yeah but i'm a pessimist.
benkay: oic
benkay: wat
benkay: that's certainly attractive.
benkay: 216 days
benkay: so a 1 year payback at current lowest ask on btct for virtualmine
benkay: slow bot is slow.
benkay: .earn 1000
benkay: can't live *without* 'em
benkay: can't live with 'em, can't read their emails without wanting to rip your eyeballs out.
benkay: customers man
benkay: and without guarantees
benkay: unwittingly perhaps
benkay: higher order?
benkay: will it ever in this?
benkay: has the supply of amateur professional investors been exhausted in the traditional markets?
benkay: when do you anticipate assplosion of failure, TAT?
benkay: auctions, man.
benkay: hm
benkay: tactics of competence
benkay: where do you announce your new projects?
benkay: best of luck
benkay: but the usual suspects have their hands somewhat full
benkay: ofc
benkay: you've spent a serious amount of time building your identity and trust therein. handing that over is going to be extremely nontrivial.
benkay: is this a perpetual hustle? how do you plan to extricate yourself?
benkay: with concomittant obligations
benkay: man, you're chasing freedom and running a thing where you have shareholders
benkay: s/votes/plebes
benkay: that's a great deal!
benkay: scuse me. moving to pm
benkay: .exchange
benkay: .help
benkay: .
benkay_: paper chase or pussy chase, there is only the game.
benkay_: there is only the game
benkay_: also i don't really mean flowers, i mean the various shiny objects they covet.
benkay_: and mendicants are smelly and unlikely to find access to the sweetest of ladyparts
benkay_: you see i enjoy buying girls flowers
benkay_: can't say as it appeals terribly.
benkay_: ah yes, the mendicant lifestyle.
benkay_: do go on
benkay_: well, first one must acquire it.
benkay_: topologically identical?
benkay_: i just seek power
benkay_: world however is unfair and trying to make it fair is not a good use of energy.
benkay_: the dominant paradigm is that you're born entitled to rights, which rapidly expands to being born entitled to fairness.
benkay_: meh. the whole country can't get its head around proper power structures.
benkay_: the bombdoe full of gluten?
benkay_: pankkake male feminists are super popular in america these days
benkay_: nah, that's what happens in america. half the country is in this 'privilege' and 'rape culture' mindspace.
benkay_: lolololol white america
benkay_: "who think the others are at most a resource and in general not a very valuable one"
benkay_: daaaaag.
benkay_: ;; seen smickles
benkay_: functional infrastructure is overrated. just look at LibertyBit.
benkay_: ;; seen smickles
benkay: the cheatery: http://goo.gl/FlfvL
benkay: it's easy to cheat on exams. i think perhaps it's literally impossible to cheat on building real things. one can cheat idiots out of their gold, but then one isn't really building things, amirite?
benkay: jevons bless the cartels
benkay: 54 yo masquerading as a 19 yo?
benkay: unfortunately it takes a modicum of intelligence and skill to pull off.
benkay: it teaches one to look at rules in an abstract way and find alternatives.
benkay: cheating is a valuable skill set
benkay: cheating doesn't hamper your education
benkay: this bodes well for my travels
benkay: all the most bitcoin fun happens outside of the us
benkay: peter1 "should" has no relationship to the tax code.

benkay_: grr what's the mpex quote format?
benkay_: !
benkay_: in what sense, fiat500?
benkay_: and also jonathan stacke?
benkay_: yeah who is this phil character?
benkay_: wow bart chilton looks terrifying
benkay_: keep 'em comin TAT
benkay_: ;;ticker
benkay_: is oix working?
benkay_: wow, really?
benkay_: !ticker m ^oix
benkay_: what's that, bp?
benkay_: sounds like more overhead than your typical arb action...
benkay_: buy shares on mpex, issue them as a pt on one of the other exchanges?
benkay_: how would one arb that?
benkay: heh.
benkay: nahmean?
benkay: who cares about this character satoshi? cryptocurrency implementations are vastly more interesting and profitable.
benkay: which is cool and awesome and enables all sorts of copyright-circumventing business models in conjunction with btc. arguing about the german is a little?forest for the trees.
benkay: when vastly smarter people are now noodling on how to do in-browser decryption.
benkay: but who cares about the humans
benkay: still very interested in browser decryption
benkay: implementation details aside guys
benkay: someone, some day, will get it right.
benkay: oh it's not terribly hole-y. just, you know, written by idiots.
benkay: talking about 2fa?
benkay: mircea_popescu, the german is uninteresting, it's the easily-accessible encrypted storage that's interesting.
benkay: topologically identical to "idiots are idiots"
benkay: tautological, aknap3
benkay: although i'm pleased to see london categorizing islam as terrorism.
benkay: nah dogs, that's just islam.
benkay: and it's not just mega. i'm stoked to the bone for encrypted storage and in-browser decryption providers to proliferate.
benkay: mega+btc, I should say.
benkay: that said, there are a shitload of businesses that mega enables
benkay: this guy
benkay: patent == invention
benkay: just remember to not operate out of anywhere that cares about gambling
benkay: a little a/b testing and you're in the home stretch
benkay: way better idea, lizard.
benkay: he is after all, not your ordinary scammer.
benkay: well of course
benkay: i love it
benkay: oh keep going please
benkay: not a bad scam, TAT.
benkay: another question might be why would any exchange not charge a trading fee?
benkay: scuse me, tech nostalgia.
benkay: today is internet nostalgia day on -assets.
benkay: is there something special about a shitpile or is this tx just taking forever to confirm for some hilaribad reason?
benkay: fiat500: as in div is shit and small?
