benkay: butthurt miners
benkay: works for hangovers, detox
benkay: +1 jcpham
benkay_: and some ovaries to push it into that part of the performance envelope
benkay_: that takes some doing
benkay_: wow she tipped a cat
benkay_: cool shit jcpham.
benkay_: but then they couldn't print their way out of their problems.
benkay_: totes, TAT.
benkay_: can't help but assume he's operating out of some mob bakery
benkay_: running on free juice
benkay_: from jersey
benkay_: i met this hilarious kid at buttcon who's doing mining arbing on altchains considering nethash and price
benkay_: welcome to america.
benkay_: when bankers do it on purpose, it's business. when munis do it via incompetence, it's fraud.
benkay_: but you'll never hear bankers behavior called "fraudulent conduct"
benkay_: it's nice to see muni's screwing wall street for a change
benkay_: mircea_popescu on the subject of nineties and bootstrap and geocities, try this for the MPEx web site

benkay_: so trainable though, diablo!
benkay_: Willdude: you can always focus on growing your pocketbook + monetizeable skills through high school while shrinking your gut. then in college, date high schoolers. younger girls are 10x.
benkay_: localized dissipation. gimme a break, guys.
benkay_: negligible amouts, tat. don't promulgate that shit.
benkay_: alternatively get the fuck off irc and ride a bike
benkay: but that's neither here nor there. the point is to put a bitcoin tip address on all of the splash screens amirite?
benkay: honestly i'd rather donate to tim pope
benkay: yeah i ain't gonna
benkay: offer it as abounty
benkay: heck
benkay: lined*
benkay: just tell him you have 5btc line up
benkay: why not, davout?

benkay: powerful motivator, those sparkly lights.
benkay: i did enjoy new york, but i couldn't swing the burgher's fee.
benkay: screwdown?
benkay: that said, demand it of all partners.
benkay: washing is overrated; an artifact of the "smell good" industry.
benkay: only true recently, though. see paris, london, rome?
benkay: with modern reputation tracking tools he'd be out of business rather quickly i imagine
benkay: classic cartel shit
benkay: and the city halls rules benefit hotel owners at my expense
benkay: my lease allows for subletting

benkay: let me clarify: for scammers who advertise well, they made out like bandits.
benkay: oh fine
benkay: bfl and gox are rolling in it!
benkay: they have also made out with shittons of money
benkay: see it erryday
benkay: and i'm not surprised that it's possible to make money shuffling things around
benkay: oh no i agree w/r/t marketing
benkay: now if you take those things to ipo, you too can make out like a bandit
benkay: unlike buying into ipos
benkay: that sounds like value
benkay: monetize that, man
benkay: but that shit won't make you rich.
benkay: that's how you prevent the capital you've acquired from disappearing in inflation
benkay: i'm not saying don't invest
benkay: not dismissing the role of traders and liquidity providers entirely
benkay: there's *some* value
benkay: sure
benkay: that happens by luck.
benkay: but don't expect to make out like a gangster
benkay: maybe your stake won't disappear in inflation
benkay: if you don't deliver value to a company, don't expect them to deliver returns to your pocket
benkay: not to s.dice :)
benkay: just by moving assets around, getting into and out of positions etc
benkay: without delivering value tho
benkay: yeah
benkay: they really just want their capital to not decrease
benkay: it's a lie
benkay: westerners always want their capital to increase
benkay: you for like a few hundred years or something
benkay: all business have always been valued in ever-decreasingly valuable fiat currency
benkay: consider this perspective
benkay: wat
benkay: nope nope nope.
benkay: nope.
benkay: skulking or sulking?
benkay: here comes the gpg
benkay: such as?
benkay: to the extent that exists in this space.
benkay: appearance of legitimacy
benkay: it's not a terribly common perspective...
benkay: i like that attitude, that plans are not investors business.
benkay: sometimes it's illusory
benkay: growth can happen
benkay: whatever
benkay: we could actually talk about execution instead of features then
benkay: has anyone bothered to plot relative market share of the btc gambling space?
benkay: is the play model really relevant to whether a given casino has their shit together?
benkay: bitzino has lots of love for itself
benkay: dem blooz.
benkay: it seems to not be receiving a lot of love from its nominal maintainer though
benkay: it's got this great market dominance
benkay: sdice ain't dead
benkay: isolate that pos from any business logic holy fuck
benkay: ur hur hur
benkay: you care too much, c-n
benkay: ah he wants to be put in touch with the supernodes then
benkay: but instead...
benkay: same question.
benkay: er

benkay: will we need to wait for a whole new generation?
benkay: heaven forfend any of us actually try to balance our books ever
benkay: where would the fun in deterministic satoshi handling be?
benkay: Computer Science
benkay: it's big boy math mp
benkay: let me tell u bout these newfangled integers
benkay: yo dude i herd u can't in2 floating point
benkay: nice
benkay: salami slicing?
benkay: that's diabetes
benkay: that's not value
benkay: i try to get by on delivering value right now
benkay: some day i'll have use for bling
benkay: what brand of recreationals would *that* be?
benkay: ?
benkay: boring
benkay: plating
benkay: 'cept the dang thing's useless
benkay: wait are they a manager at a shit facebook company or a venture capitalist?
benkay: people who claim the us isn't like other relationship-based countries just don't get it
benkay: i have a hunch that the DHS is a function of good lawyering on some SV companies' behalf
benkay: :sad trombone:
benkay: keep talking like this i like it
benkay: mhm
benkay: good man
benkay: piiiics
benkay: those are nice bikes
benkay: let's talk about how much i spent on them
benkay: i got moar things
benkay: hey you guise
benkay: i beg to disagree
benkay: your stores are out of motorcycles
benkay: 3rd world problems?
benkay: an hero
benkay: a well executed hustle
benkay: but i r idiots as we all know
benkay: and didn't actually care about, you know, building, establishing and growing a real company.
benkay: and i get the sense SD was built by someone who wanted to build a buttcorn generating machine
benkay: such are rarely piloted by humans capable of building companies that continue to grow
benkay: it's kind of what you get for investing in accidental successes.
benkay: just waiting for the next competitor to come along and break their knees
benkay: yup
benkay: also i r idiots, come on
benkay: before my time
benkay: how so?
benkay: just a little a/b would go a long way in the buttcorn gambling space imho
benkay: i was rooting for that german to take over the bitcoin gem
benkay: what should SD do differently?
benkay: it's an interesting distraction for the rest of the world, i'm sure
benkay: for asicminer shares :D:D:D:D
benkay: it's a great biz-move
benkay: duh, they'd be horrible at their core business otherwise
benkay: i have yet to see a tvom approach to mining hardware roi analysis
benkay: nono my trolls are obvious
benkay: hardware sales themselves as scam
benkay: that's what i'm talking about, c-n
benkay: how the fuck did i make it in here
benkay: i know!
benkay: the question that i'm asking is whether the investment in the chips pays off. ever.
benkay: hey man
benkay: to short the coins, duh
benkay: why won't you let me trade on mpex?
benkay: i have 2 bitcoins
benkay: like maybe a week
benkay: is it even remotely economical?
benkay: as in turns electricity into hashes
benkay: "real"
benkay: totally not a scam.
benkay: totally not a scam, right?
benkay: boooring
benkay: how are you planning to take all of their money to teach them a lesson?
benkay: beautiful
benkay: and it can remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent, to quote an old fart
benkay: market seems to think your asks are high
benkay: the flipside of that is that you asked too much
benkay: who knows man who knows
benkay: you made that bed bud. time to sleep in it. with the morons.
benkay: well you are trading mining shares
benkay: do tell
benkay: "the obvious approach would be to increase the available drama and distributed lulz"
benkay: oh man that girl
benkay: pweeeease
benkay: can i get a reference to this special agent business of which you speak?
benkay: ;;goxlag
benkay: try bitcoin-otc
benkay: that'd be nanotube
benkay: hurray!
benkay: the money hasn't run out on gox yet
benkay: i forgot how much i'd have to explain for this to be a worthwhile conversation for a second
benkay: oh wait
benkay: on gox
benkay: if the traffic went elsewhere the lag would decrease
benkay: nah
benkay: toplogically identical to "if fewer people traded on gox it wouldn't have the lag problems it does"
benkay: that's a pretty trivial conclusion...
benkay: any bitcoin news at all and the gox engine shits itself
benkay: ;;ticker --last
benkay: and ;;ticker --last
benkay: ;;goxlag
benkay: hey check this out
benkay: what they're supposed to do has nothing to do with what they actually do
benkay: they take their fines unrelatedly to whatever they're notionally supposed to do
benkay: nonsense.
benkay: "
benkay: "we are too big to fail and too incompetent to implement this. how much do we have to pay?
benkay: that's not corruption, that's compliance :)
benkay: massive corporations can, though.
benkay: "you" can't pay them off, truffles
benkay: that would be some good lawyering
benkay: then the easy spigot goes away
benkay: briefly
benkay: and that wasn't a hoax?
benkay: idiot faucet's dunzo though
benkay: nah
benkay: popcorn time
benkay: HOHO
benkay: ms warren 'stepping on it'
benkay: found it
benkay: ?
benkay: her mircea do you have a link on hand to your piece commenting on monetary sterilization"
benkay: I was looking for this link:

benkay: oh point 2
