snsabot: Logged on 2020-10-26 20:15:03 trinque: any amount of e.g. company treasury flight into bitcoin will send the real purchasing power of bitcoin way up.

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-10-26#1023609 << firing already, depending on how one counts, since june
snsabot: Logged on 2020-10-26 20:37:29 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform We do have to remember that November 3 through at least December 14th one of those destructive USG.State color revolutions will be firing in US
thimbronion: asciilifeform: trinque may have been referring to Microstrategy's 450mm btc buy. This is a publicly traded company, but I don't know if it meets the requirements to be 'official.'
asciilifeform: thimbronion: admittedly i slept through this event. but my immediate q is, whether this was a buy of paper promisecoin or the realthing.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-05-05 19:59:44 asciilifeform: as a rule, they're entirely happy to buy promisecoin, so can 'leverage' and 'play'.
thimbronion: asciilifeform: the claim is that the btc is now in cold storage, in the posession of Microstrategy. They haven't published their storage scheme.
asciilifeform: also was, admittedly, assuming that trinque meant in 'company treasuries' -- those of companies which participate in actual industry, rather than ones dedicated to leveraged coin speculation.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform will try structure a weblink that works for Friday's broadcast. Thing lives fairly deep in a heathen toilet trap/
BingoBoingo: One overwhelming trend encountered is that ever week the fraction of the mass I collide with gets less and less stoked on the US
thimbronion imagines "This is you. This is you in the US." ad campaign.

asciilifeform: in wholly unrelated shitcoin noose : somebody (claims to have) in fact implemented... slavecoin.
snsabot: (trilema) 2013-09-14 asciilifeform: damn it all, i'm still waiting for SlaveCoin.
asciilifeform did not examine claims in detail, as considers the quest for 'asic resistance' to be a perpetuum mobile
shinohai: "equal voting power" lmao
superkuh: Isn't asic resistance usually "takes a lot of ram"?
superkuh: So resistance just scales inversely to ram processes.

asciilifeform: superkuh: generally term was used by scammers and their rather gullible victims. e.g. a hash algo that required 1MB was somehow pitched as 'asic resistant', even tho no fab house has any problem fitting 1GB on a die, if you like. linked item has 0 to do with this, however: was re: a supposed 'mine by solving captchas' crackpottery.
asciilifeform: various folx, ranging from cynical fraudsters to naive ignoramuses, proposed schemes for 'non-mechanical', if you will, mining, where somehow 'each bag of meat deserves'. on inspection these 100% of the time turn out to be attempts at slipping in centralization via (not so)clever backdoor.
