shinohai: dpb You still in Eulora? O.o
asciilifeform: dpb: if you need old mp articles, grab the torrent
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-28 21:23:39 asciilifeform: billymg: try http://dulap.xyz/pub/mirrors/misc/trilema.com.tar.gz.torrent plz
asciilifeform had nfi eulora were still in biz. but if even fraction of the claimed dough in the piggy were factual -- could run until the sun burns out, wainot, supposing mp & co had >1 head with the launch codes in it
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-10-10#1060966 << lol, < 2btc! then again who the fuck gives a shit re 'operating parameters and performance characteristics of Virginia-class submarine reactors'. erry country weighing moar than two belgiums prolly has already, for decades nao

vex: there's more to that story than the 2bc worth of fluffy, for sure
asciilifeform: vex: surely also a deathray plot!1!
asciilifeform: y'know, these.
dulapbot: (trilema) 2017-05-25 asciilifeform: has at this point lost count of the 'fine folx' who offered him 'sure profitz' involving white powders/militias/deathrays across-the-border/across-the-ocean/in-shangri-la/in-shiticonvalley etc etc
scoopbot: New post on A Syndication of Verisimilitudes: Experiences with Alleviating Pain
vex: kinda why I find it hard to swallow, that a guy's been wrenchin on a reactor and can't find another job
vex: perp snail mails enemy, fbi intercepts and engages email, signals from the embassy then decides the deadrop...
vex: meh, perhaps is sop
vex: cool story nonetheless
vex: engineer has never sailed in the thing at full send, pretty sure that'll clamp your holes shut
vex: one took some damage in the sea of most contention recently, as reported by the fishwraps
vex: now that story was vauge as all fuck, but catching spies? here's the scoop
vex: yeah, so what alf said; the info wasn't new at all
vex: dpb, wasn't it the case that new eulora players gained access from mp directly?
dpb: yes
vex: was there still action b4 the server went down?
dpb: yes
dpb: i log in ~every day
vex: much coin on it dpb?
dpb: player holdings are substantial considering today's dollar value
vex: I'd guess as much
vex: chat's on the same server I suppose?
dpb: what chat?
vex: didn't it use irc?
dpb: no
vex: oh
dulapbot: Logged on 2020-05-11 04:53:33 jurov: to make matters clear from my side: "withdrawals are possible except for people who ask" === "mpex is in default and thus coinbr too"
asciilifeform: iguess some folx simply not educable.
asciilifeform: dpb: outta curiosity, when didja last try withdrawing coin?
dpb: i have nothing bad to say about mp, and that's none of your business
asciilifeform: lolk
asciilifeform: indeed not my biz if folx insist on sticking cock in bear trap.
vex: in fairness asciilifeform, dpb doesn't need the coin, the cat just wants to play eulora
asciilifeform wouldn't be esp. astonished if there are still, maybe even here, folx with 'nothing bad to say' re karpeles or who still think they will get 'their' coin outta mtgox.
vex: they're getting 0.001 yen to the bc, way up in usd. why comprain?
asciilifeform: 'spreading works'
asciilifeform: vex: there's an interesting psychological effect where folx genuinely think that if they 'don't complain' and 'nothing bad to say' and 'avoid pissing off' $scammer, they will surely get ~their~ coin if they ask, even if no one else does.
dulapbot: (therealbitcoin) 2020-06-06 mats: yes, i understand some of you in here wanted just this outcome
asciilifeform: amply documented by no less than mp (before braindamage, 2011--2018ish)
vex: complaining only works if it works.
asciilifeform: anyways asciilifeform aint a shrink, and does not offer treatment for stockholm syndrome or any other medical condition.
asciilifeform: from old thrd, re 'nxivm' org. was imho interesting/apropos. supposedly even nao there are folx protesting outside the prison where their fuhrer started his 120y sentence last yr
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-07-08 13:04:51 thestringpuller: asciilifeform: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Raniere << if interested
vex: I'd be really interested to talk to karpeles, prolly the hugest fraud ever
asciilifeform: vex: afaik he's ~monosyllabic, and was a puppet of unknown operators
vex: it's prolly just him alf
vex: .jp won't hang a man like that
asciilifeform: vex: iirc not only not hanged, but 'doing biz' even nao.
vex: how does he earn a crust now? I lost interest, having never engaged with the biz
asciilifeform: d00d has 1st class крыша
asciilifeform: in related lulz, apparently 'nxivm' trial just nao ended, per the fishwraps.
asciilifeform: 'Garza later became one of several "first-line masters" in a secretive NXIVM subgroup that starved women, deprived them of sleep and required them to relinquish blackmail material, according to prosecutors. Other women were branded on their pelvic area with the initials of NXIVM leader Keith Raniere.' etc
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-10-10#1061020 << not champ btw. mavrodi outclassed by order of magnitude.

asciilifeform: karpeles -- semiliterate patsy. presided over usg theft of coinz specifically for watering the waterfall.

vex: Yeah I can't even fathom the fuckery
asciilifeform: vex: there was a rather long (and i fully expect -- continuing) series of these projects. all essentially identical. karpeles simply best known.
asciilifeform: idjit runs a gox or whatever 'bitcoin biz'; collects buncha coinz; eventually assigned a handler, who offers him 'offer he can't refuse', choice b/w 1e3y of noriega or walk with x% of the 'oopsed' piggy
vex: criminal elements in tokyo wouldv'e found him 1st
asciilifeform: vex: asciilifeform aint a jp expert, but iirc their mob is well-integrated into the Official reich structure, and prolly compliant
vex: most certainly
asciilifeform: hence not obstacle.
vex: heya punkman, has the shaking dies down?
punkman: didn't feel any big one last week, but it's still going
asciilifeform: in fleanode lulz. apparently claims to still operate, nao with 'Officially become digital territory of the Joseon Empire' and 'Replace Services Authentication with Fiat, Decentralized Blockchain Based Authentication'. didjaknow.
vex: shit
punkman: apparently the area directly above sank 15cm
punkman: 0.8g vertical acceleration fucked them up
vex: we all live on a very fragile crust above a swirling ball of molten iron with a magnetic field that lets us live in the violent void
punkman: bunch of greek seismologists into predicting earthquakes working with japanese people too
punkman: Lebanon banks doing a "Sorry for your loss" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkCdYapPCyI
punkman: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-58861477 "The power grid shut down yesterday and officials said it was unlikely to restart for several days."
asciilifeform: usg still stirring the 'arab spring' pot, eh
punkman: doesn't seem like the same thing
asciilifeform: punkman: how not ?
asciilifeform expects there'll be usg 'peace keepers' there within the yr
vex: beiruit?
punkman: no dictator to get rid of, they already have gays, etc
vex: good old fashioned bank run, no need to send peace keepers
asciilifeform: if that particular arab clusterfuck aint anglo-directed, will be i suppose 1st such one in 100y+
