asciilifeform: ( and also . )
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-05-02 14:41:21 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-05-01#1034992 << rich ameri-tradition of demagogues raking in the book royalties, chump donations, as they laff all the way to the bank while their 'parishioners' clubbed by capitol police, od on meth in despair, etc
thimbronion: asciilifeform: successfull press with v.py ty
asciilifeform walked into a shop not long ago, where there was a tv, and saw that the ministry of plebepablum ~still~ running 'documentaries' on 'the coup' etc
asciilifeform: thimbronion: np!
punkman: worker died in port of Piraeus, others on strike for 5-6 days, now ships waiting to unload
punkman: gotta wonder if coincidence
punkman: or it's that we gotta take part in "global supply chain crisis"
asciilifeform: punkman: 'never let a good crisis go to waste'(tm)(r)
verisimilitude: With the CHIP-8 game jam over now, I expect I'll write my Serpent implementations this month.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: didja ever describe what you found lacking in the classic ada serpent ?
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-09-27 16:44:24 verisimilitude: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-09-25#1059602 It's unnecessarily repetitive. It should've been written using unrolled loops, instead. My version will be much nicer to audit and use.
asciilifeform: iirc the classic one already 100% unrolled, but lessee what verisimilitude comes up with.
asciilifeform: 'Coinbase, in fact, has a regulatory moat as they were the first to work closely with regulators and hence have licenses to operate in all states in the US...' << lolyes
asciilifeform: usg's de-facto Official gox.
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-10-31 23:32:34 asciilifeform: vex: in eltsinization, pyramids not typically banned as such, but brought under crown control.
asciilifeform: 'Coinbase has larger ambitions beyond being the best crypto consumer app for their users. They are the go-to custody solution for the largest institutions and are building out a full suite of services targeting banks and funds...' << very... uh... promising, lol
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-10-29 14:49:35 asciilifeform: will be interesting to witness the 1st (publicly admitted) 'we have no idea where the coinz went' carlforcing
asciilifeform: the ~2.2m$ q2 revenue is imho surprisingly small, considering it's a near monopoly
asciilifeform: ( are there any remaining goxes which officially work in usa ? )
asciilifeform: esp. considering that, per the linked site, 'Coinbase had 68mn verified users at the end of Q2’21...'
asciilifeform: ( i.e. avg. rev. of 3-4 cents / qt. per user ?! )
asciilifeform: '67% of deposits in June 2021 were below a $100' << lolredditards
asciilifeform: iguess this explains!
asciilifeform: 'Brian Armstrong’s medium post on re-aligning company culture, where he sought to curtail activism and political debates within the organization. This caused quite a bit of a stir within the tech industry, and led to 5% of the organization (60 people) eventually taking take up his offer of an exit package, leaving the company' << lulzy, missed this story
asciilifeform: ( what sorta 'activism' was it ? )
asciilifeform: 'gentlemen, no fighting! this is the war room!'(tm)(r)('strangelove')
asciilifeform: at any rate, seems obv. to anybody with 3 neurons to rub together that coinbase is simply 'lean' usg.spyagency masquerading as a gox.
asciilifeform: effectively part of the 'new, well-managed' modernized distributed nsa.
asciilifeform wonders, if somehow classical nsa went 'ipo' , what its stock price might be.
asciilifeform: 'There have been concerns that a lot of insiders have sold their shares.' << lolx2
asciilifeform: 'Also, if the number of scams spiral out of control, requiring too much technical knowhow to avoid, it would become unfeasible for the average user to be on-boarded, and future growth of the ecosystem would be severely curtailed' << might die of laffter here
asciilifeform: ( as if already ~100% of the 'space' didn't consist of scamola ? )
mats: page19 chart is interesting
mats: and page 66
asciilifeform defo didn't expect, 10y ago, that 2021's leading gox would have revenue of just ~33 btc / qt.
asciilifeform: mats: what was interesting on 66 ? the usg shitcoin ban ? doesn't seem to have materialized ? (may be simply to drum up publicity)
mats: well yeah, its stuck in congress
asciilifeform: mats: asciilifeform hasn't followed subj in realtime, but the tradition is that a 'draconian' item is proposed, and then watered down version is passed
mats: prison sentences for mixing and shitcoins, regulating smart contracts as futures through cftc, paving the way for cbdc usd
mats: it hasn't been watered down in the months since unveiling
asciilifeform: mats: i recall a 2020 trial of a supposed mixer operator, but possibly that was a state thing (florida?)
mats: the senator who intro'd it is said to have been heavily guided by yellen, who is now head of treasury after service at the fed
mats: an interesting transition
asciilifeform: unsurprising imho
asciilifeform: at some pt could expect that perpetrating a permissioned shitcoin will Officially require permission from usg dept. of coinbase. (unpermissioned shitcoins will happily ignore, as always)
asciilifeform: y'know, like issuing penny stocks req's Official green light from usg ministry of scamola currently.
asciilifeform: usd itself being the archaetypical permissioned shitcoin, difficult to see why the perp would allow unrestrained competition.
asciilifeform: the lulzy bit imho is that evidently (in fact as mp alleged back in the day) the ~whole shitcoin 'market' consists ~entirely of redditus.
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-11-01 15:59:30 asciilifeform: '67% of deposits in June 2021 were below a $100' << lolredditards
asciilifeform: ( and, by implication, that very little % of actual btc ever touches a gox. )
dulapbot: (trilema) 2017-07-15 asciilifeform: or how about the raging idiocy of, e.g., nonprintingspace char.
dulapbot: (trilema) 2017-07-15 asciilifeform: dun forget to insert nonprintingspaces between the chars for good measure, for potentially INFINITE bytewise-permutes mapping to SAME VISUAL STRING
asciilifeform: inbandism, 'the gift that keeps on giving'
verisimilitude: This is what I think of that foolishness.
asciilifeform: in other strange, therealbitcoin.org aint expired, but apparently updated on 23 oct to point to dead (?) box. while the other one to live. why? nfi (ask jurov ? if anyone knows where to find him)
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-10-31 20:51:15 thimbronion: looks like therealbitcoin.org is gone
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-10-31 20:53:12 signpost: thebitcoin.foundation still up
asciilifeform: !q seen jurov
dulapbot: jurov last seen here on 2021-07-02 12:26:27: i read about mp yesterday, then said to myself stop procrastinating and check back
asciilifeform: the expir aint till oct of '22
asciilifeform discovered this when sat down to try an' buy the 'expired' dnsism
asciilifeform: and, perhaps also oddly, neither dns points to the pro bono box asciilifeform hosts for tbf.
dulapbot: Logged on 2020-08-10 12:12:54 asciilifeform: nao with 6 subscribers, not including self + tbf pro-bono unit . will admit, did not expect to have 'monopoly' on in-wot rackage for this long, tbh..
asciilifeform: if anyone tuned in still has a working fleanode acct, try an' ping jurov .
asciilifeform: ( ... or not live yet ? )
