asciilifeform: ^ his site. alive
asciilifeform: as he left it.

bitcoinpete: impecable timing, as ever
bitcoinpete: people like funny

bitcoinpete: a well
bitcoinpete: still within 5%

bitcoinpete: at least maidsafe and bitgo left a comment on the blog
assbot: 1/A few thoughts on timing and staging of capital into modern tech startups -- start with fact that 2003-20011 seed rounds were ~$500K-1M.
bitcoinpete: ^ marc is starting to clue into inflation
bitcoinpete: "In effect, a $3-5M seed round or a $3-5M "New Series A" is a recreation of the original conception of an A round from historical VC."
mircea_popescu: no, just having problems managing capital.
bitcoinpete: used to be $500k, now $5m
mircea_popescu: too much of it.
bitcoinpete: which is a problem of inflationary currency, n'est pas?
mircea_popescu: if anything, start-up rounds need to be more now, not less. because it costs WAY less now for a couch surfing founder to start his company.
[]bot: Bet created: "Crude Oil to reach $120 before August" http://bitbet.us/bet/941/
mircea_popescu: in fact, it costs so little he doesn't even need horowitz. nor does he have any reason to talk to them. which he doesn't.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile on the other end of the chasm, there's billions nobody wants.
mircea_popescu: it's so bad your INTERN for a vc won't consider deals under 1mn
mircea_popescu: and so, the stupid meets the lazy : nobody wants to admit the fiat paper is pointless ; horowitz least of all.
mircea_popescu: nobody wants to admit the entrepreneur does no more need the financier. horowitz least of all.
bitcoinpete: so we get beats, the next uber

mircea_popescu: so based on mike_c's discussion last night, i think i have a very good addition to b-a kako. it'd go like this :
mircea_popescu: 1. somewhere on b-a website there's a text form where people can submit random text up to say 16kb in length. this all goes into db.
mircea_popescu: 2. once every 512 seconds, submitted text is checked. all that is clearsigned content by signatures in assbot's l2 gets bundled together, hashed and the hash is included in a special tx through which b-a pays 1 btc to itself with a decent miner fee
mircea_popescu: 3. once this tx gets 1 confirm, assbot makes an announcement here. "statements from mircea_popescu, mike_c, kakobrekla : b-a.com/registrar/blockxxx"
mircea_popescu: that way we have a quite useful registrar of deeds
mircea_popescu: if financing ever becomes a problem can always charge people who do over say 2 a month X btc for using it.
punkman: mircea_popescu: instead of sending 1btc back and forth, it should make a provably unspendable tx
punkman: less stuff in the blockchain
punkman: also miners don't have to keep it in the unspent transactions list
mircea_popescu: how is it less stuff in blockchain ?
mircea_popescu: we shall be seeing more of her during today.
mircea_popescu: punkman a tx is a tx, whether unspendable or not it's the same length no ?
punkman: I think the script is shorter for the unspendable tx
punkman: not having to keep it in unspent tx list is the more important part as I understand it
mircea_popescu: if that's true i doubt it's significant tbh
punkman: but not like you'll be making tons of them anyway
punkman: yeah
mircea_popescu: well, it's definitely the blockchain-friendliest approach, seeing as only a hash is stored in the first place. moreover, i don't see how nonspendable tx helps anything other than pruning
mircea_popescu: and i have mixed feelings on pruning and checkpoints
punkman: and in the interest of not writing things twice, assbot could send each bundle hash here http://www.proofofexistence.com/developers
assbot: Proof of Existence

mircea_popescu: or they could have joined assets a year or so ago. either way.
mircea_popescu: i'm not checking some random site i never heard about fwiw.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: it's roughly the system you describe - it stores a hash of a document in the blockchain
mircea_popescu: fluffypony it's missing two key ingredients, the most important one being - done by people i trust.
mircea_popescu: this notion that anyone can randomly decide they'll now develop things works fine for weblogs or w/e
fluffypony: the nice thing is that they have an API for storing and verifying
assbot: maraoz/proofofexistence GitHub
mircea_popescu: the other one is that they don't maintain the records.
fluffypony: just run it on your own metal
mircea_popescu: this is a major problem.

nubbins`: see, business cards are exactly the wrong thing to silkscreen
nubbins`: so much manual work for something so tiny
mircea_popescu: this is just the offset. apparently you can't get special tints in digital
mircea_popescu: but i tell you by the way... i've seen some machinery on that hunt... this whole town's half a museum
mircea_popescu: except they still run the exhibitions.
nubbins`: i'd say one could dredge up some old letterpress machines down there if one had some time to kill
nubbins`: anyway, yeah, silkscreen beats digital when you get into poster sizing
nubbins`: 18x24" digital-print poster: $15+ per print
nubbins`: silkscreen: ~$4ea in quantity
nubbins`: (quantity being like 2 dozen)

nubbins`: true story
nubbins`: now, there are back-stops you can use for consistency
nubbins`: but cuttong a 15x22" sheet down to business card size, you gotta keep moving the backstop
mircea_popescu: i got news for you : if your injet desktop printer prnts .1 off center, it also looks like shit
nubbins`: ^ this is true
nubbins`: best you could manage would be to get a stack cutter and slice a stack of sheets all at once
nubbins`: but it's all finicky work

benkay: $vwap s.mpoe
mircea_popescu: benkay that is besides the point. they are demanding dogs.
benkay: "demanding" what does this mean?
benkay: that one must actually train them?
moiety: has pooch got a pal yet benkay .. have you caved to puppy requests?
chetty: to properly own/train a pitbull takes more skill than say a poodle
asciilifeform: there's a school of thought that one should have a potentially man-eating pet, that way you know that it really likes you
benkay: moiety: the plan is to satisfy the baby crazy with...a baby.
asciilifeform: (or something like that)
moiety: my favourite dog no one had even heard of. i like the jp chin. they are like cats you know they dont bark. does this mean im a cat lady to the bone or accepting?
asciilifeform: (if not yet eaten)
mircea_popescu: <benkay> that one must actually train them? << yes.
moiety: benkay: woah for real?
mircea_popescu: all the time. not whenever they have the time or feel like it.
moiety: you know they talk back after X years right?
mircea_popescu: and training means a thing. not whatever some derp has the stomach for
mircea_popescu: but actually hitting them over the head
benkay: i've never shied from that.
mircea_popescu: that's you.
mircea_popescu: and maybe five other people in your town
benkay: de veras
mircea_popescu: so then. ocelot is even worse
mircea_popescu: it'll fucking love you if you're a better ocelot than it is
moiety: pits have erned themselves the rep of nanny dogs, why doesnt this get taken into account?
mircea_popescu: if you're an american it'll kill you in your sleep and feed on your entrails.
moiety: no
asciilifeform: there are tiger, lion tamers, in america
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and also chartered accountants.
asciilifeform: somewhere. (i recall one was eaten quite recently)

moiety: not define, exemplify*
moiety: mircea_popescu: how do you know they are empty?
benkay: the thing about pits is that they've got this long history of being bred to defend the family from things, where things can be everything from home invaders to bears on the plains during the trek to oregon

He could scarcely tell the Germans about the trial of Traicho Rostov, at which the whole blatant MISE-EN-SCENE had suddenly come unstuck in open court and the correspondents had been fobbed off, af

mircea_popescu: btw asciilifeform re zaraza : www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2Y8kylOsF0 (the original, uruguay)
assbot: [TANGO-L] zaraza or Zaraza
mircea_popescu: (the uruguayan is SO MUCH BETTER too)
mircea_popescu: funnier still : "Buey zaraza, tus ojos tristones" in original. buey is commonly used in romanian today as a vocative address
mircea_popescu: (sort-of like "yo!")
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the term is actually... orcadian!
mircea_popescu: (where it means boy. spoken the same way)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: try this one on for size:
asciilifeform: 'the Western blok... preferred to view the Eastern European nations as victims of Soviet aggression, ignoring the simple and manly fact (that would have been instantly understood by a Roman) that Soviet legions, without anyone's help, took possession of Eastern Europe via force of arms, answering aggression with aggression. And the Roman would an absurdity - he could not comprehend, in the name of what so-called
asciilifeform: moral justice the legions ought to forsake the lands for which they had paid with their blood. Not only is the transference of conceptions of morality to the evaluation of historical events a phony method, but, if we recall, the moralists - the defeated European nations and the Americans, enemies of the USSR - that is to say, non-impartial moralists - their condemnations sound hollow indeed. The offenders, are,
asciilifeform: of course, unphased by this. We know now that their strategy of psychological war turned out to be a correct one... To establish the injustice, the 'meanness' of the enemy in a moralistic war is every bit as important as winning a pitched battle in a hot war.'
asciilifeform: from edward limonov, 'disciplinary sanitarium.'
asciilifeform: translation mine.
asciilifeform: much as it must've sucked to be on the receiving end of the beast - much of what people like to gripe about re: soviet ham-handedness was, as you might say, 'forced mistake.'
mircea_popescu: certainly a forced mistake.
mircea_popescu: but look at the matter : ever since napoleon implemented the idiotic idea that people generally should have a voice merely for having been born,
mircea_popescu: europe has had naught but turmoil. the russians ended up taking it in the ass twice for this reason, and painfully too.
asciilifeform: mr mold likes to crank it all the way back to... voltaire
mircea_popescu: that on the 2nd pass they eventually had enough and followed is reasonably understandable.
mircea_popescu: that the 1800s quaint concepts of the superiority of the west, naive faith in the benevolence of the european man, and his general humanity, all that germanophillia etc
mircea_popescu: turned by1950 into a quite paranoid "we'll never be safe ever unelss we control it all" is equally sensible in context
mircea_popescu: the problem is that russia never was and likely never will be actually up to the task.
mircea_popescu: so it's a bit of a drama.
asciilifeform: benevolence of the european man, and his general humanity << the funny part is that the russian left (pro-american. if you want to actually understand post-collapse ussr, gotta understand why left->pro-us) went right back to this spiel
mircea_popescu: it's not voltaire, it's the french retard club, montaigne, saint simon, rousseau etc.
asciilifeform: 'hyooman riiights!'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they'll forever go to this spiel.
mircea_popescu: it's unavoidable. who else ?
mircea_popescu: whether your father is a scientist or a drunk, or both,
mircea_popescu: as a six year old boy he's gonna be your father regardless.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile europe is going in it's second syphilitic-whore-with-a-gram-a-day-habit
mircea_popescu: such a thing kills everyone else, but it just goes to sleep and comes out virgin and 16 again.
mircea_popescu: (napoleon's "general's baton" bs is nothing but the reimplementation of the gracchi's reforms, 20 centuries prior)
asciilifeform no expert, but sees a europe that largely shot its wad in 1918
asciilifeform: so where's the 16-virgin ?
mircea_popescu: no kidding.
mircea_popescu: it did all this before. better, even, arguably, since still no man was yet as rich as crassus.
