shinohai: I should spread a rumor that he went out to sea to hide his stash in the ocean, and let the redditards similarly drown attempting to look.
asciilifeform: 'fifteen men on the dead man's chest, ... and bottle of rum!'
shinohai: yargh
puman: I am indeed greek. I fucked off some time after the #b-a/#t split. Been mostly hanging out in Greece. Doing some computer plumbing, dabbling in collectibles, real estate and other silly things.

puman: #b-a ruined computers for me. it's been hard
shinohai: Malaka lyfe

shinohai: I din say I wished to comment, I observed that *no comments were loading* on this end.
asciilifeform: lol already apparently cocksuckers 'sanitizing' his pile o'shit
asciilifeform: this is why asciilifeform baked the mirror (which horrified e.g. asciilifeform's brother, 'what kind of moron are you, that bastard had kilometres of libels about you and you cache his www?')
asciilifeform: let folx see mp as he actually was.
asciilifeform: libels, exhibitionisms, korans, etc. all included.
asciilifeform: and incl. the comments, incl. where he bragged about stealing jurov's coin and so on.
snsabot: (ossasepia) 2020-06-02 jurov: And I pay no heed to TMSR anymore, because it behaved to my clients worse than any government.
snsabot: (therealbitcoin) 2020-06-06 jurov: Wow, i can't think of clearer admission that mp in fact hijacked tmsr and installed himself as government.
shinohai: Well asciilifeform *did* say из песни слова не выкинешь the other day.
asciilifeform: aaha.
asciilifeform: means exactly this.
asciilifeform not afraid to let folx see how e.g. mp paid asciilifeform back for 7yrs of unpaid wunderwaffen work, for instance
asciilifeform: or what he did to phf. etc
asciilifeform: imho mp's www paints (with his own hands!) an entirely adequate picture of 1 of the most malignant pieces of shit ever to walk this blighted planet.
asciilifeform: ...his self-portrait.
asciilifeform: projected, in kilometres of libels, against each of the people who made his delusions technically possible for whatever short time, breaking own backs with work paid for in insults and smeared shit.
puman: which funds did MP steal from jurov? reading some of the logs but haven't figured it out yet
asciilifeform: puman: confiscated all coinbr funds.
asciilifeform: puman: see the linked thrd, it was revenge for jurov refusing to turn over tbf to him.
puman: I had some S.NSA shares there I think
asciilifeform: puman: 'won't see these like yer ears w/out a mirror' (tm)(r)(stalin)
asciilifeform: puman: i can only assume you slept through the demise of s.nsa

puman: was it after the ISP impoded?
puman: *imploded
asciilifeform: puman: aha
asciilifeform: puman: proximately, after asciilifeform refused to give mp control of asciilifeform's new isp.

puman: got a link to mike_c's case?

asciilifeform: very difficult, now, to say, which of the boasts were tru, to what degree.
signpost: just airing which thing I call "tragedy"
asciilifeform: what i do know is that his 'technical staff' were rubbish, at all points.

thimbronion: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-29#1041627 << I wondered the same. My understanding was that he wanted people to start their own startups. But then, where was his startup?
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-29 15:53:23 signpost: so why not, eh?
asciilifeform: thimbronion: actually this part always made sense to asciilifeform . mp did not want to be surrounded with (what called) 'jobsworths'. wanted fanatics strictly.
asciilifeform: *what he called
dulapbot: (trilema) 2016-01-27 mircea_popescu: so, how about : you show me you can in fact live like a man, rather than as a welfare child, and then i show you where there are partisans, to believe.
asciilifeform: it was why, for example, snsa did not provision so much as a penny for liberating asciilifeform from day job.
signpost: eh, someone has to start.
billymg: thimbronion, signpost: add me to that list as well. this was one of my biggest questions. man could've paid salaries for a dozen people to work full time and still not have more of an effect on his worth than a rounding error
asciilifeform: signpost: aha, plenty of these in logs
billymg: it would still not*
asciilifeform: billymg: see, this is among the few things i agreed with him in. start paying people, and before long all the dough evaporates, and you have what to show for it? a shiticon valley corp corpse?
signpost ftr has bootstrapped a shartup on own dime

asciilifeform: signpost: pretty close to weimar
signpost: aha
asciilifeform: billymg: i had 'equity stake', lol!! see how much good did ?
billymg: and only given to those who show they are committed for more than the money
signpost still anticipates greater, and likely war
asciilifeform: billymg: there was in fact a lulzy hole in the charter, where asciilifeform would 1st have to purchase mpex acct at the going rate -- which could be ~anything~ -- before ever claiming a single satoshi
signpost agrees asciilifeform was probably fucked over more than anyone
thimbronion: I couldn't be bothered to start another startup until BTC has reached 1mn roughly.
signpost: I can't claim greater than "serious hobby" on anything.
asciilifeform put up with this, because 'fought for the motherland' rather than expecting profit.
billymg: asciilifeform: yes, by equity i of course meant non-scam equity from person who plans to make good on the offer
signpost: only kind signpost ever extended anyone.
billymg: my point was mostly just that salary != disenfranchised bare minimum effort worker in all cases
asciilifeform: billymg: we never got , however, to the point where asciilifeform would be fucked by the charter; simply because the 'biz ideas' were lunacy from a roi pov
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-01-06 22:56:33 asciilifeform: trinque: re 'profit centers', asciilifeform was cured of this notion when rubbed face 1st into e.g. 'no, there is not market for uncensored undns'd hosting', 'no, there aint a silent majority yearning for nonwhitened trng', etc
signpost: at any rate, I can only express my gratitude that I own trustworthy RNGs to asciilifeform.
billymg: asciilifeform: re: fought for motherland: even soldiers receive room and board and small level of pay
signpost: and cram as much actual computer science as can find into my head while the world implodes.
billymg: the whole idea would've been so that asciilifeform (or other productive members) could quit day job, not lead cushy life

asciilifeform was digging for quite different thrd tho, re: how mp thought asciilifeform was a liar when describing being poor
asciilifeform: ... he disbelieved in the existence, in modern times, of well-paid contract programmers , and thought 'if can trade 4-5fig usd for b., then not poor'
asciilifeform: d00d's contact, for most of his life, esp. in orcistan, w/ 'programming types', was with folx of the 'indian web coad' variety.
asciilifeform gives up , for nao, search for $thread; if anyone recalls it, plox to write in.
billymg: asciilifeform: even if he thought you were rich it still doesn't make sense. 50/50 scenario where one guy puts up the dough, the other the sweat, is extremely common form of partnership. shouldn't even matter if both have dough to begin with, unless one is paranoid and thinks the other is a grifter

dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-29 14:30:02 shinohai: I never expected to make anything from my S.MG shares either, what with Diana spending all her time creating colored blobs instead of actually improving gameplay.
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-29 15:59:30 asciilifeform: it was why, for example, snsa did not provision so much as a penny for liberating asciilifeform from day job.
thestringpuller: and it seems *checks diana's blog* eulora cribbed asciilifeform homework free of charge
shinohai: At least I stacked sats w/ Qntra. BingoBoingo and jurov never let me down.
thestringpuller: shinohai: I've entrusted more money over my lifetime with jurov than any person I know IRL. I do hope he is well. He was right all along. No shade on smickles, but jurov was definitely the better broker.
shinohai: I never had bad thing at all to say about jurov, guy still resides in my WoT and is to be commended for keeping trbfoundation website alive.
shinohai: ^ will bring busybot back online shortly, was more painless to get it to connect than I imagined.
puman: "ask what time it is and wind, wave, star, bird, clock will answer you: "It is time to be drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish.""
asciilifeform: puman: be sure to see the log -- there's a parallel irc net going, and logged in same place
puman: this is well fucked huh
shinohai: $ticker btc usd
busybot: Current BTC price in USD: $36185.34
puman: last line I got on this web client was http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-29#1041611
snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-29 14:52:46 asciilifeform: does not regard taking dope, per se, as 'moral failure' -- but does consider takers to be responsible for whatever it is they inevitably wreck while 'under influence'
puman: is this a matter of being connected to the wrong server?
shinohai now happy has znc + bot working on nyoo net in case freenode finally burns to ground.
puman: can't recall the last time I saw an irc split
shinohai: puman: asciilifeform set up own server due to fleanode woes
shinohai: so 'tis logging here and there.
asciilifeform: puman: it aint a split, we're building a new network and i deliberately log #a from ~both~ there and fleanode (while lasts) into same db.
snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-18 18:35:02 asciilifeform: the troo p2p topology i propose removes all kindsa fundamentally palace-flavoured concepts -- 'joining', 'kicking', 'banning' -- and replaces simply w/ freedom of association, i.e. peering & unpeering.
asciilifeform: observe that you can cite log lines and it 100% worx .
asciilifeform: doesn't matter , on day+ time scale, which hole you talk into.

asciilifeform: remember, diana brought cunt to the table. (and not only literally; but also 'obediently' !)
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-27 10:54:47 asciilifeform: managerial types luvv these to death, they reliably produce 'steady labour' flavour that satisfies performance metrics, whether bureaucratic (reich orgs incl. usg) or sadomasochistic (mp's)
shinohai: The blind obedience is the determinate factor there.
asciilifeform: shinohai: it wasn't simply about 'obedience' in the usual ustard sense, but in the 'anticipatory' kind associated with b&d
shinohai: aha
asciilifeform: 'conceive in your mind, my lord, your fondest wish, and we shall have the honour of guessing and fulfilling it' say, iirc, the houri in koran
asciilifeform: that kinda thing.
