    asciilifeform: depends on radius of turn
    
    asciilifeform: (picture a 'question mark' shape. easy to keep turn radius wide if there is room)

    mircea_popescu: punkman: this thing got so many threads and subprocesses, I wonder what new and exciting breakage tomorrow will bring
    
    mircea_popescu: spoken like a true admin!
    
    mircea_popescu: punkman is it stable nao ? i was planning to do a trilema write-up, is it time ?
    
    punkman: maybe give it a few days
    
    thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: there will be qntra writeup soon
    
    thestringpuller: too*
    
    
    
    assbot: Introducing the qntra pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. 
    
    thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: qntra writeup about punkbot
    
    mircea_popescu: ah, talk to these other guys.
    
    thestringpuller: i kno. it's on editor's desk now. just letting you know. ;)
    
    mircea_popescu: ah cool.
    
    mircea_popescu: i didn't get it originally :) good for you.
    
    mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: maybe swol can sell it? <<< it definitely can. it's been publicly announced it closes, someone wants to make an offer they know where to make it.
    
    mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: idk whats up with buttcoins users but my take is that btcusd chumpatroning takes 90%+ of the cake in 'services' category << just about right.
    
    mircea_popescu: joecool: what is this? is there documentation on it yet? <<< you mean the deedbot ?
    
    joecool: mircea_popescu: yes
    
    joecool: i had been absent from here for a month or two, it is new
    
    mircea_popescu: ah, its a deed registrar we've been trying to get going since summer. finally punkman made it work.
    
    mircea_popescu: if you look through the logs the spec is a pastebin plastered like a dozen diff places.
    
    nubbins`: ^ text of gpg-signed deed is used as passphrase for brainwallet, address of which is funded with pittance to prove document's existence at a particular point in time
    
    joecool: oh so it has a reference in the blockchain too?
    
    mircea_popescu: nubbins`: punkman i have nfi. like i said, i get different results when i do curl -o vs curl | pbcopy << this sounds like os/x
    
    mircea_popescu: joecool yes.
    
    joecool: pretty cool
    
    mircea_popescu: totally.
    
    mircea_popescu: jurov: *sigh* if s.wol paid out dividends and then immediately vanished, it would be so much easier <<< that's how it will work ?
    
    nubbins`: mircea_popescu funny thing is, pbcopy is the only osx-specific tool, and it's the only one that preserves \n line endings
    
    mircea_popescu: cause it knows it should see ?
    
    mircea_popescu: all the unix stuff is "eh, whatevs"
    
    thestringpuller: pbcopy is really annoying
    
    thestringpuller: got a mac recently...and yea
    
    mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: fuck you to anyone who mentions rss again. <<< awww angry kako!!! of WRATH!
    
    nubbins`: thestringpuller ehh it does what it should
    
    nubbins`: joecool here's an example
    
    
    
    assbot: Deed AF1zMmjk | #bitcoin-assets deed registry
    
    nubbins`: if you sha256sum the text of that deed, you'll get AF1zMmjkgvSVLM5dmTZH3hqndeHpG1KukwYahkhcSsj6 as a result
    
    nubbins`: that ^ is then used as a brainwallet passphrase to get the public address 14GVvUrtrNvszwKEr9Qnqevmuy3RNHA3yF and its associated private key
    
    nubbins`: next, that address is funded: https://blockchain.info/address/14GVvUrtrNvszwKEr9Qnqevmuy3RNHA3yF
    
    assbot: Bitcoin Address 14GVvUrtrNvszwKEr9Qnqevmuy3RNHA3yF
    
    nubbins`: thereby proving the document's existence at the time of funding.
    
    nubbins`: deeds 101
    
    mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: >Perhaps the most common brand is Predictious. It takes pride as the premier Bitcoin prediction market that requires bettors to sign in using a Google account. <<< ahahahaha bejesus.
    
    mircea_popescu: then again i shouldn't laugh, the aborigines also took pride in smearing shit all over their faces or w/e it is they did, when the bitcoin colonists found them.
    
    mircea_popescu: !t m s.qntr

    assbot: Bitcoin Address 149LB8VYaT1BdMLyQUL92Kj6KrJfNwcp64
    
    mircea_popescu: tbh, punkman made a major innovation with the bot. that it responds when you call it, like
    
    mircea_popescu: punkbot deed baby
    
    punkbot: mircea_popescu: Error: 'baby' is not a valid http url.
    
    mircea_popescu: this is pretty fucking great, because the special char space was getting crowded
    
    mircea_popescu: i think this should be the standard bot calling procedure. say its name.
    
    nubbins`: ;;it !sure ,,was
    
    gribble: Error: "it" is not a valid command.
    
    mircea_popescu: assbot t m s.qntr
    
    nubbins`: gribble ticker

    mircea_popescu: kakobrekla omg whay the haet!
    
    nubbins`: kako haetmoad OFF
    
    mircea_popescu: anyway, it's gonna be the standard going forward.
    
    jurov: mircea_popescu: on it
    
    kakobrekla: its a good thing we can have as many standards as we need
    
    bounce: fifteen
    
    nubbins`: so many standards, so few substandards
    
    mircea_popescu: lmao
    
    nubbins`: perhaps we'll call this the superstandard, yes? set it apart a bit?
    
    davout: nubbins`: just call it microsoft
    
    kakobrekla: my standard is a standard one, you can use whatever.
    
    nubbins`: i support the standard standards
    
    nubbins`: on a go-forward basis
    
    mike_c: as a consumer of kako's standards, I can vouch they are anything but standard
    
    kakobrekla: my standards just got for-pay model.
    
    nubbins`: erm, is that standard?
    
    mircea_popescu: !Contre nous de la tyrannie l'étendard sanglant est levé!
    
    kakobrekla: it is now.
    
    mike_c: but they work, which is also not standard.
    
    mircea_popescu: !up Zebetus
    
    kakobrekla: mike_c idk i make em up on spot :|
    
    mircea_popescu: so they're more like spotdards ?
    
    kakobrekla: well they are standard for me
    
    mircea_popescu: try making them on the stan next time.
    
    kakobrekla: so you can call em potato
    
    kakobrekla: standard potato
    
    kakobrekla: nice round n shit.

    bounce is using pre-webkit opera now. not too happy everything is going webkit, just with shittier and shittier user interfaces wrapped around it.

    PeterL: !up scoopbot
    
    jurov: the REFERENCES can't be replaced by definition.. why they must be there?
    
    PeterL: is kakobrekla here?
    
    kakobrekla: yea
    
    PeterL: so scoopbot is ready (penguirker replacement), I suppose I need to talk to you about registering him in the chan?
    
    punkman: PeterL: did you use irker too?
    
    PeterL: no, it is a bot I made myself
    
    kakobrekla: but does it work?
    
    PeterL: yes
    
    kakobrekla: is the syntax such that my great ass suggested?
    
    kakobrekla: s/that/as
    
    PeterL: huh?

    assbot: Logged on 19-10-2014 02:27:17; kakobrekla: PeterL if you are going to do it, make the syntax 'New blog post on $sitename by $author: $url"
    
    PeterL: oh, that. right now it is "new blog post on $sitename: $url"
    
    kakobrekla: add the author?
    
    PeterL: ok, I will do that now
    
    kakobrekla: great
    
    kakobrekla: once this works and if you are bored, add wordcount at the end of report and estimated reading time
    
    bounce: ugh.
    
    kakobrekla: wha?
    
    bounce was about to say something about making the notice shorter, but estimated reading time? ew!
    
    kakobrekla: yeah
    
    assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 17600 @ 0.00073187 = 12.8809 BTC [-] {2} 
    
    kakobrekla: easier to make the call - click or not to click
    
    mike_c: plus # of footnotes
    
    bounce: no, it's complete bs. reading time does not depend on wordcount alone. or even taking word length into consideration.
    
    kakobrekla: maybe
    
    kakobrekla: on the other hand would work for qntra
    
    kakobrekla: reading @ easy difficulty
    
    bounce: so youse gots a difficulty estimator @ qntra?
    
    PeterL: ok, now scoopbot should include the author.
    
    PeterL: !up scoopbot
    
    kakobrekla: but anyway a simplistic approach : estimate reading time by multiplying the word count by result of brainwallet test
    
    jurov: ;;isup deeds.bitcoin-assets.com
    
    gribble: deeds.bitcoin-assets.com is up
    
    bounce: author, wordcount, footnote count would give some indication to make your own estimation
    
    kakobrekla: whats footnote measure?
    
    kakobrekla: nothing.
    
    mike_c: reading time
    
    kakobrekla: maybe the cultness of the article
    
    bounce: if you don't want to hear the answer, you might as well not ask the question.
    
    PeterL: would I be able to tell where the footnotes start from the blob of text in the rss feed?
    
    kakobrekla: lol
    
    jurov: is up but sloooow
    
    kakobrekla: PeterL we just masturbating here
    
    PeterL: my next task is to rework all scoopbot's commands to respond to his name
    
    bounce: the entire article ends up in the rss feed?
    
    PeterL: depends on the feed, I think?
    
    kakobrekla: who knows, its rss
    
    bounce: footnotes are a major break in reading flow, so they're quite influential for the overall reading user experience and therefore the total amount of time the user gets to waste going back and forth
    
    bounce: to answer your
    
    kakobrekla: anyway, we are measuring reading time, not comprehension time
    
    bounce: question you didn't want answered
    
    kakobrekla: if i give you 300 pages of easy text, you can not read it in 1 minutes
    
    kakobrekla: no matter how easy it is
    
    bounce: you're not measuring anything, you're making vague estimates on unsound assumptions

    jurov: i propose if they don't get claimed in 14 days, then they get loaned to coinbr.
    
    jurov: and after that, shares+dividends will be delivered after 14 days of the request
    
    jurov: er.. in 14days of the request
    
    jurov: now, what with the treasurer stuff? i'll just sign in without the references.
    
    PinkPosixPXE: I've been meaning to chat more on here about assisting with some of the bitcoin dev and testing work I've been watching go on, but I've been slammed with projects, I have too many projects/hobbies I'm beginning to think. Either way, I wrote up an install_bitcoin script that takes into account dependency issues for certain versoins of debian and ubuntu.. not sure if anyone would find it useful,
    
    PinkPosixPXE: mod6 expressed interest, and I set it up after running into issues on one of my instances, and then tested it across a vagrant+virtualbox testing environment with a few debian and ubuntu distros.
    
    kakobrekla: PinkPosixPXE ditch the bad hobbies
    
    mike_c: sounds like a good addition to wiki.b-a
    
    kakobrekla: wiki , yes, as stan pointed out, needs work.
    
    PinkPosixPXE: yea, I can point out several pages where people complain about hte dependency issues, and so I thought 'well this script would fix them all' then idiots don't go using berklydb/bdb 5.3 or another versoin that isn't wallet or blockchain storage compatible

    The20YearIRCloud: RIght now we're looking at changing the div pay to reflect higher re-investment in the company
    
    The20YearIRCloud: Especially since the banks right now are offering us 1:5 leverage for each dollar we put into the loans, and that's pretty hard to refuse.
    
    mike_c: so lowering divs and building up equity
    
    The20YearIRCloud: Divs won't actually go down, they just won't go up
    
    The20YearIRCloud: While equity will increase significantly more
    
    The20YearIRCloud: I'm looking by end of year under current system to be paying out around 10-14btc/month in dividends if we don't change the setup. Our last month's payment was something like 5btc
    
    mike_c: cool.  well if you're not issuing more shares who cares what the price is
    
    The20YearIRCloud: I personally don't, it lets me buy more shares. However I know we have some that want to see high dividends
    
    mike_c: well lucky for you they aren't voting shares
    
    The20YearIRCloud: and a mix of high share price & dividend price shows more of a proof-of-concept to investors
    
    fivezerotwo: So we expanded our layer 4 attacking power. Qntra/Trilema, therealbitcoin, bitbet, bitcoin-assets.com... take your pick!
    
    The20YearIRCloud: Even if they were voting shares it wouldn't change much. Our top 3 shareholders whom account for something like 60% of share ownership are all on the board and agree with where we're headed
    
    fivezerotwo: PinkPosi4PXE, Its stupid to reconnect without a cloak
    
    mike_c: great, so keep plugging?  you're profitable and don't need more investment.  sounds good to me.
    
    The20YearIRCloud: Pretty much
    
    mike_c: congrats.
    
    The20YearIRCloud: The bank's telling us we should be able to loan a little under $1mm with our current margins

    mike_c: biggest risk to your business now is probably being associated with havelock.
    
    The20YearIRCloud: And our margins are *quite* healthy considering industry averages

    mike_c: nice to have that back.
    
    PeterL: is checking every 5 minutes a good timeframe you think?
    
    mike_c: sounds good.
    
    punkman: PeterL: name of website is a bit redundant, also might be better with irc names instead of rss authors
    
    PeterL: right now it is pulling the author from the rss feed, to get irc nick would be a bit trickier
    
    mike_c: hard code it.  you have to maintain the list of blogs anyway
    
    PeterL: it is also pulling the site title from the feed, it is not my fault they don't have a more interesting name for thier blog
    
    kakobrekla: author not in rss?
    
    kakobrekla: what rss is that?
    
    punkman: just thinking it might be silly when it eventually says "by admin"
    
    kakobrekla: like a shitty one?
    
    PeterL: yes, author is in rss, but author in rss feed does not match irc nick
    
    kakobrekla: mike_c hardcode not worky. point is qntra has many contributors
    
    kakobrekla: yeah well fuck them
    
    decimation: seems like the logs have been ddos'ed
    
    PeterL: I guess it could get the author from the rss, then compare it against a list of irc nicks?
    
    kakobrekla: yea looks like it decimation
    
    PeterL: and assbot stopped saying the names of linked pages
    
    kakobrekla: yes thats what happens under ddos
    
    mike_c: point is qntra has many contributors << derp. oh yeah.
    
    kakobrekla: or else someone comes here, pastes a link he controls, gets the ip from behind cloak
    
    decimation: I wonder if usg has attempted to jail someone for possessing a private rsa key that is directly linked with extortion?

    PeterL: have there been private rsa keys linked to extortion?
    
    cazalla: PeterL, shots fired!
    
    kakobrekla: punkbot sell price be their bid
    
    PeterL: who shot what?
    
    decimation: cazella's linked pastebin strongly implied such
    
    decimation: although to be fair, the link to the gpg key is a bit tenuous
    
    cazalla: PeterL, this "they don't have a more interesting name for thier blog", do you know we took almost 2 days to pick the name
    
    PeterL: I just mean the blog name is exactly the same as the url
    
    PeterL: even has the .net
    
    cazalla: if this was reddit, i would down vote you right now
    
    cazalla: seriously though, i always like how penguirker did it
    
    PeterL: which was just the link?

    mircea_popescu: and the reddit fbi confirmed.
    
    mircea_popescu: i think we may have a case of http://www.watchcartoononline.com/cow-and-chicken-season-4-episode-4-mall-cop
    
    kakobrekla: and reddit nsa denied the whole thing.
    
    cazalla: https://www.quantcast.com/qntra.net does this means qntra dropped out of 200k?
    
    mircea_popescu: <PeterL> is checking every 5 minutes a good timeframe you think? << yeah.
    
    mircea_popescu: <decimation> seems like the logs have been ddos'ed << i see em ?

    PeterL: mircea_popescu: have they stated anything they feel like doing yet?
    
    mircea_popescu: i vaguely remember trying to lure testers maybe ?
    
    decimation: so after watching Stierlitz, I surfed the wikipedia describing the NASDP government intelligence 4th department http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestapo  "According to Canadian historian Robert Gellately's analysis of the local offices established, the Gestapo was—for the most part—made up of bureaucrats and clerical workers who depended upon denunciations by citizens for their information.[78] Gellately argued that it was because of
    
    decimation: the widespread willingness of Germans to inform on each other to the Gestapo that Germany between 1933 and 1945 was a prime example of panopticism."
    
    mircea_popescu: lol i like cazalla's pastebin.
    
    mircea_popescu: decimation this is factual.
    
    decimation: so, really all you need to have a 'reign of terror' is to put a 'suggestion box' in front of the secret police office
    
    mircea_popescu: all you need to have a reign of terror is to empower the bottom of the social hierarchy. it never fails.
    
    mircea_popescu: be it the peasants in russia, or the derps in nazi germany, whenever the "common man" is taken from under the foot and put on the table trouble soon follows.
    
    mircea_popescu: the us worked just fine, and definitely better than the entire rest of the world, BEFORE extending the franchise.
    
    assbot: Last 4 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/22PXEMC.txt )
    
    BingoBoingo: !b 4
    
    decimation: yeah, if the NASDP leadership weren't fucktards, they would have put more emphasis on actual intelligence rather than harassing idiots
    
    decimation: mircea_popescu: agreed.  as I drive to work, I listen to that french revolution podcast, and they just covered the 'housewife army' that managed to dislodge Louis from Versailles
    
    mircea_popescu: whenever "joe said" is not automatically followed by "oh yea ? and who the fuck is joe ?" the situation is already in the handbasked and moments away from hell.
    
    PinkPosixPXE: 19:46 #bitcoin-assets: <+ben_vulpes> PinkPosixPXE: did the scriptkiddies getcher aws account? << nope
    
    PinkPosixPXE: :)
    
    PinkPosixPXE: may be dropped about 10000 packets total, and did nothing as soon as I flipped my ip..
    
    PinkPosixPXE: perhaps they decided going after 1 person wasn't enough for their e-peen-inflation
    
    asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: incorporated << neato. now nubbins` can bake tshirts!

    asciilifeform: is that 'a thing' now?
    
    mircea_popescu: what else do you suppose keeps approximately-washed middle aged boys in shared apartments with internet access ?
    
    asciilifeform: i'd dearly love to know. where do i get some.
    
    asciilifeform has to do all kinds of gnarly things for his 'b4s1c 1nc0m3'
    
    PinkPosixPXE: I guess some idiots on reddit have to be scam trolls to get their daily income...
    
    PinkPosixPXE: Then, didn't they like demand 2BTC ?
    
    kakobrekla: idk, but 10 btc would buy a good fat crate'o'em < is this a protest of how unusable btc is to you or ?
    
    asciilifeform: kakobrekla: iirc you invented a way of using
    
    kakobrekla: wha?
    
    asciilifeform: how long can one run a kakobrekla on 10 btc ?
    
    kakobrekla: sadly i also need to convert to a more acceptable format
    
    kakobrekla: still
    
    decimation: asciilifeform: I recall that you were a proponent of 'guaranteed income'
    
    asciilifeform: decimation: nah, more like guaranteed cloister
    
    cazalla: ignoring the ridicule for having an iphone, i was going to write up this circle app but cannot because there is 2180 results for apps with the name circle and you must install ichunes to use the link to install :\
    
    kakobrekla: asciilifeform and to answer your question, a few months
    
    mircea_popescu: cazalla lol problem solved.
    
    asciilifeform: kakobrekla is clean, environmentally-spiffy engine
    
    mike_c: first off, ridicule!  second, how do you run an iphone without itunes anyway?
    
    kakobrekla has optimized his reoccurring costs quite a bit
    
    decimation: asciilifeform: like, if you are unwilling to provide for yourself, the gov't will supply one small stone cell with three gruels per day?
    
    asciilifeform: decimation: where i live, they sorta do this already, but gotta be aryan
    
    cazalla: mike_c, what would i use ichunes with my iphone for?
    
    mike_c: well i don't know what you'd use an iphone for at all.  but i thought you needed itunes to install shit on it.
    
    asciilifeform: mike_c: the current pNohe is entirely usable without a computer.
    
    cazalla: mike_c, you can use the appstore and just upload your music, download pics via ftp provided it is broken
    
    mike_c: i guess you can use an iphone to impress the other girls at the party.  gotta get a cute cover for it though.
    
    decimation: asciilifeform: in Stierlitz, is it some kind of inside joke when they go through the 'personnel file' of every high ranking Nazi and they all say exactly the same thing?
    
    asciilifeform: decimation: aha.
    
    asciilifeform: decimation: idea is, you can't play unless 'aryan, good nordic character'
    
    asciilifeform: decimation: so clearly, if you're in the game, that's you.
    
    asciilifeform: decimation: notice, 'baron von stierlitz' has the same in his file.
    
    decimation: of course.  I feel like I started halfway in though, they keep mentioning his earlier exploits with V weapons and I seem to have missed that
    
    cazalla: mike_c, i thought it was the girls that like to impress with their phone, blinged up cases and all
    
    mike_c: yes, the key to the joke was "the other girls"
    
    asciilifeform: stone cell with three gruels << notice a peculiar fact about various 'advanced' bezzlatron nations where one can get a nice flat and three fine restaurant meals a day. but, for some reason, the occupants of said flats are not coughing up any great advances in sciences, arts.
    
    asciilifeform: ergo, the sponsors are selective about who gets the cell and three gruels. in a very particular way.
    
    cazalla: mike_c, matters not, sporting an old phone will just get you labelled as a hipster because the 3310 is vintage yo
    
    asciilifeform: (only exception i know of re: 'not coughing up' was j. k. rowling, author of the children's book 'harry potter.' i wonder if they billed her for the pension retroactively...)
    
    mike_c: certainly works in brooklyn
    
    asciilifeform: i suppose ed limonov might be another exception.
    
    decimation: either those who are rich in bezzlars are sitting on their brilliant inventions or the method by which one comes to hold bezzlars has little to do with productive activity
    
    decimation: of course, there is the 'george boole' problem, as you point out in the comments
    
    asciilifeform: neh, the thread was, in some parts of the world one can get the 'three gruels and a cell', but very few of the folks subscribed have shat out anything worth talking about
    
    decimation: asciilifeform: it is an odd fact that most 'upright' folks in the us would prefer to starve rather than depend on welfare, yet the same folks view their mortgage deductions as a birthright
    
    asciilifeform: decimation: outside of usa, there are misconceptions. it isn't like anyone can just go and sign up for 'welfare.'
    
    asciilifeform: if you aren't in the target demographics (not purely 'ethnic', but approximately for most purposes) it may as well be 'macarthur grant' or nobel, for all you'll ever see of it
    
    BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> wait a seccond. is lawsky the reddit supernintendo or the actual supernintendo ? << scam, he's just one of those rpi based emulators made the chicoms
    
    mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> one can get a nice flat and three fine meals [...] not coughing up any great advances in arts. <<< yes, they are.
    
    mircea_popescu: cocksucking's an art too you know.
    
    asciilifeform: and afaik, most of 'homo redditicus' is not living from government pensions, but from relatives
    
    mircea_popescu: and where do the relatives get it ?
    
    asciilifeform: same place i get it.
    
    mircea_popescu: from tax breaks to deferring of college debt, it's all a gift.
    
    BingoBoingo: <cazalla> ignoring the ridicule for having an iphone, i was going to write up this circle app but cannot because there is 2180 results for apps with the name circle and you must install ichunes to use the link to install :\ << sounds like a review in itself
    
    asciilifeform: the tax breaks mostly subsidize playing in chumpatrons like real estate
    
    mircea_popescu: now to the massive task of documenting this deedsbot thing.
    
    asciilifeform: (e.g., the 2k i pay landlord is 100% tax-free income for him)
    
    kakobrekla: jebus 2k rent?
    
    asciilifeform: kakobrekla: aha.
    
    kakobrekla: srsly.
    
    asciilifeform: kakobrekla: 'cheap' too.
    
    kakobrekla: unserious
    
    BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Seriously plausible for a US coast.
    
    decimation: yeah in ascii's area $2k for a house is cheap
    
    mike_c: significantly cheaper than mine..
    
    asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has it right re: the massive bezzle gifts, but notice that these aren't really handouts to the plebes - they only get to touch the money and feel warm inside for a few seconds, then they have to give it directly to real estate chumpmeisters or college racket
    
    mircea_popescu: well of course.
    
    mircea_popescu: kakobrekla unlike europe, the us is very poorly developed.
    
    kakobrekla: heh
    
    mircea_popescu: not even kidding. you know that thing where you can't walk for 50 miles without ending up in a town, nor 10 miles without crossing a road ?
    
    mircea_popescu: well... they ain't got that.
    
    asciilifeform: the 2k does not include other bezzles. e.g., auto, without which it is flatly impossible to buy edibles much less earn anything
    
    asciilifeform: and various insurances.
    
    decimation: asciilifeform: I added all this up once, and came to the conclusion that every single person in the washington DC area must have an income of >$100k
    
    decimation: which didn't seem right
    
    mircea_popescu: punkbot list deedsystem
    
    mircea_popescu: what is this supposed to do ?
    
    asciilifeform: decimation: every 'burgher' (see mircea_popescu's essay on the subject) - exactly right
    
    asciilifeform: but there are several categories of inhabitant who don't need money at all
    
    asciilifeform: unfortunately those categories are almost entirely membership-by-birth.
    
    decimation: regarding birth, the ironic thing about wash dc is that the majority of these 'burghers' are holding gov't jobs, which are more-or-less sinecures for life
    
    decimation: meanwhile they have kids, who also need to eat
    
    decimation: those kids being the exact objects which the real estate/job-for-life chumpatrons must devour to sustain themselves
    
    BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> not even kidding. you know that thing where you can't walk for 50 miles without ending up in a town, nor 10 miles without crossing a road ? << True story, did that.

    asciilifeform: (see the canonical piece by 'last psychiatrics' re: one town where this was demonstrable to the naked eye.)

    asciilifeform: but the point here is, the most humble tomato peddler at my local market - still usg funded.
    
    decimation: yeah, this is true
    
    decimation: for instance, he's still going to have to sell some gold to pay his land tax in dollars
    
    asciilifeform: (it blew my mind the other week when i noticed that these were being paid, by many folks in the crowd, with... something quite like actual monopoly money. issued by the state, it turned out, 'vegetable food stamps.' presumably these are redeemable for usd in some dark cellar at city hall.)

    mircea_popescu: then REFUSED to take the same in exchange for tax receipts ?
    
    mircea_popescu: the only innovation there is refusing to take them in exchange for the only thing they used to be good for.

    decimation: I like how one arm of USG is threating anyone who has touched a bitcoin, while the other arm claims that they could not possibly investigate welfare fraud
    
    mircea_popescu: welfare fraud is good.
