02:25 signpost asciilifeform: iirc mp owned some of the domains, was curious if included this.
02:26 asciilifeform signpost: not afaik
02:26 signpost or maybe I'm thinking of qntra
02:26 asciilifeform that was qntra.
02:26 signpost ah

02:31 dulapbot Logged on 2021-10-31 18:02:15 signpost: point of money was always to give myself time to think. I don't want these turds taking up head-space.
02:31 asciilifeform ( after mpex, i can't imagine that he dun understand )
02:33 signpost sure, I've got shitcoins too, but low cost-basis in them
02:33 asciilifeform ( and see also. )
02:33 dulapbot Logged on 2021-06-17 13:47:07 asciilifeform: shinohai: 1 of the reasons why scammers of this type are an 'attractive nuisance' is that folx come to believe -- quite mistakenly -- that e.g. 'next time i!!! might be the one to pick up that $mil as the thief drops it on its way out of a chump's pocket'.
02:33 signpost but I took about five minutes seeing about jamming e.g. cardano "plutus" into my head before deciding wtf is the point
02:33 signpost solidity, etc
02:34 signpost to others with more patience, possibly lulz and what to arbitrage into btc. I'll cheer 'em on
02:34 asciilifeform as i understand, the point is normally some variant of this.
02:34 dulapbot Logged on 2021-07-18 21:00:06 asciilifeform: erryone wants to 'be satoshi'. how to achieve this if not by somehow replaying history with $perp at 'the center'.
02:36 vex .me will piss on your tits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwoaCKfqcxQ&list=RDBwoaCKfqcxQ&start_radio=1
02:36 signpost yep, and also the shit-bolted-to-side-ism, probably trained into people via the patent system, marketing, whole shitty culture.
02:36 mats i think there's value in a smart contract, if the instruction set is highly restricted
02:37 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-10-31#1062537 << vex you've said this 'over9000' times but i admit i dunget it. why pity? what was the amazing unrealized biz proposition there ? ~nobody wants to buy civilized irons at any commercially-practical price point.
02:37 dulapbot Logged on 2021-10-31 19:45:07 vex: it's a pity that mp dissovled the co with alf. also a pity he thought xrays were a waste of time
02:37 dulapbot Logged on 2021-07-07 23:13:39 asciilifeform: is why, for instance, there are 'over 9000' whitening pseudo-trngs on the market today, but the only nonwhitening, shielded trng had print run of 200 , half of which was sold at the bankruptcy hammer
02:37 dulapbot Logged on 2020-08-20 19:00:15 asciilifeform: it is also the case that rng as commercial product is a very questionable biz proposition. it takes quite a bit of 'adulthood' to even get to a place where you actually benefit from a 1000 $ rng. for instance, microshit victims dun really win anyffin from using whatever external rng.
02:38 signpost if anything the need for BTC keys would've generated the demand for fg.
02:38 mats some people on ethereum operate prediction markets like bitbet
02:38 asciilifeform mats: do you use these ? what are they like ?
02:38 mats i don't
02:39 asciilifeform mats: why not ?
02:39 mats i looked over the augur thing years ago and it looks reasonable
02:39 asciilifeform mats: so why not used ?
02:40 * signpost isn't saying that a simple scripting lang can't exist, and have useful features, but this is far away from BOLT A HASKELL TO EVERY OUTPUT
02:40 mats i don't care for ethereum
02:40 signpost or whatever, JS in the case of solidity
02:40 asciilifeform signpost: i admit it still aint 100% clear to me what is gained from 'smart' instruction set in an altcoin
02:41 vex go look. it's free
02:41 asciilifeform ( imho even the classic bitcoin instr set is overcomplicated over9000x )
02:41 asciilifeform vex: 'free if yer time has no value'(tm)(r)
02:41 vex so true
02:41 vex ie true dat
02:41 signpost for most of the use-cases I am most interested in, the "oracle" which would provide inputs to the contract might as well be a system that just farts the transaction out when appropriate
02:42 asciilifeform a la bitbet, aha
02:42 vex if we've got tax worries we can design a trillion distant problems
02:43 vex my own oravle defines the pice
02:43 asciilifeform vex: '... if yer time has no value' is no mere rhetorical device from asciilifeform's pov. 'i could read about $reddicoin or i could instead run the taximeter and real dough'
02:43 asciilifeform very much changes pov re ephemeral garbage.
02:43 vex soon to be killegal
02:44 signpost other features like being able to create sub-shitcoins will probably lead to "onoes blockchain too big, need to 'garbage collect'"
02:44 asciilifeform aaha
02:44 signpost all of this history that happened in btc and went the right way went the wrong one in the rest.
02:44 signpost (and btc lost much too, see: segwit)
02:45 asciilifeform signpost: from asciilifeform's pov the segshit stuff is rather like barnacles on a tanker. the tanker duncare.
02:46 vex now alf is stirring vex
02:46 signpost sure, I'll laugh too if in 10yrs China decides it'd like to own all the anyonecanspend
02:46 vex i'll follow a tanker where I wanna go
02:47 vex script kiddie sibnce forever
02:48 vex half handy at sambo too
02:51 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-10-31#1062555 << fwiw it hasn't moved anywhere.
02:51 dulapbot Logged on 2021-10-31 20:54:18 signpost: kinda curious if tbf piggy, being mostly from mp, went to jurov's customers who were robbed by mp.
02:52 signpost huh, look at that.
02:52 asciilifeform ... even accumulated some bitcents since jurov's last statement.
02:53 vex anyone qwho says they don't get seasick hasn't been outwater
02:53 * asciilifeform would muchly prefer if jurov returned to life at least long enuff to part the piggy w/ somebody else ( any volunteers ? )
02:53 asciilifeform *park
02:54 vex he bought a castle at low price
02:55 asciilifeform vex: iirc this was yrs ago

02:56 vex cunt's high in the montains. by boat wont vget anywhere close
02:56 mats there's a game by a vietnamese studio called axie infinity with nfts and its very popular
02:56 vex shit maty.
02:56 mats its interesting that its worth like $8bn
02:57 signpost mats: I would like to sell you d25dc7c5-4e99-443d-a68a-1884d741ec14 for 30ETH
02:57 signpost vv rare
02:57 mats you'll pay me 30ETH for that string? i accept
02:58 mats i don't have to like it but there's definitely some kind of price for, say, the best and most legendary WoW game items
02:59 mats but some people would say financialisation is the devil's handiwork
02:59 signpost yeah I'm not criticizing anyone making money with devil's work.
02:59 signpost but I don't personally want to fill my head with models of it.
03:00 * signpost finishing a tour at an american megacorp, had enough of filling head with unwanted models.
03:00 * asciilifeform aint even unsympathetic, in fact filled own head w/ unspeakable garbage for commercial works
03:02 * asciilifeform working ~7d/wk naodays
03:02 signpost woof, got end in sight?
03:03 asciilifeform errything ends eventually.
03:03 signpost lol yes, but you know, before that.
03:03 asciilifeform notyet
03:04 asciilifeform gotta keep lights on until the quasi-mythical 'victory day' when exch rate grows that new 0
03:04 mats lol
03:05 signpost looking kinda like enough of the banker fucks will capitulate in such that we'll have a much bigger slice of the nothing pie before long.
03:05 asciilifeform possib
03:07 mats it seems like adoption is accelerating now
03:07 asciilifeform mats: as you prolly noticed, this doesn't always translate to 'new 0s in btcusd'
03:07 mats in the 200 odd countries without strong local currencies
03:08 signpost trend is good. I'm more concerned with say 5yrs of supply chain fuckery than whether BTC will eventually prevail.
03:08 * asciilifeform doesn't recall any mega-exciting noose from e.g. salvador after 'day x'
03:08 mats https://blog.crypto.com/global-crypto-users-over-200-million/ if this is to be believed
03:08 asciilifeform signpost: moneyed folx are in fact stockpiling irons, interestingly.
03:09 mats the win for el salvador is really the government's win
03:09 * asciilifeform won't 'kiss & tell' but witnessed directly
03:09 mats bukele effectively controls all the btc that goes into the chivo piggy
03:09 * signpost stockpiling w/e his upper-middle-class ass may need.
03:10 signpost (ain't much.)
03:10 signpost mats: iirc bulgaria holds like 200 kilocoin
03:11 mats there's like three countries with their own digital currencies now
03:11 * asciilifeform would customarily add 'and only fuhrer knows whether actual or papercoin' but imho obv.
03:11 asciilifeform mats: centralbankcoins are a snore imho
03:11 asciilifeform just anuther variety of permissionedshitcoin.
03:11 mats its good for everyone tbh
03:11 mats i mean yes, permissioned, but increases settlement speed
03:11 * signpost often reminded of mp's comment to me that I could not comprehend just how far the west had to fall.
03:12 signpost seeing it now, definitely.
03:12 asciilifeform mats: the 'settlement speed' imho is overblown issue. in asciilifeform's experience, even traditional moolah is fast enuff, wires from megacorp are ~instant
03:12 signpost they haven't even started throwing bodies at the collapse yet
03:12 signpost probably a world war between here and "hyperbitcoinization"
03:13 mats many entrepreneurs solve the problem by having multiple bank accounts with their various clients bank
03:13 asciilifeform signpost: in '19 was already clear imho 'they need a worldwar' but also clear that can't afford actual one. so instead organized fictional one
03:13 asciilifeform mats: sop in phinance industry
03:13 signpost time will tell if they're so smart as to have organized effectively
03:15 asciilifeform by their lights i imagine quite effective already
03:15 dulapbot Logged on 2021-07-13 14:39:30 asciilifeform: it's a classic arson+theft. burn down economy, loot what little savings anyone had.
03:15 mats its not overblown
03:17 * asciilifeform may be atypical, but finds even ordinary btc to be quite fast enuff
03:17 mats at large enough sums of money, leaving it effectively idle to clear becomes a tax
03:17 asciilifeform mats: is almost as if yer posting from 1980s, or sumthing, when money got returns, lol
03:18 mats small amounts of money across many participants
03:18 mats cash flow is bizness 101
03:18 vex worldwar ist comming
03:19 asciilifeform vex: started in 1990s, and the humans mostly lost
03:19 mats lol
03:19 vex im frightend
03:20 signpost oz hasn't started learning mandarin yet?
03:20 mats best case, everyone sorts out the spheres of influence with minimal shooting
03:20 signpost mats: I dunno why anyone wouldn't take a shot at the fragility of american infrastructure
03:20 signpost that texas grid failure for example was barbaric.
03:21 mats it will probably happen regardless as the grid transitions to renewables
03:21 mats its going to be bumpy
03:21 vex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4V6T0kDB2Y
03:21 asciilifeform signpost: what little valuables there were there, quietly carted off to highest bidder, for decades nao, why shoot.
03:21 mats grids, plural
03:23 asciilifeform mats: y'mean transitions to 'sorry, we can't afford a grid, but here you can do yer redditin' while sun shines' lol
03:25 mats the feds haven't figured out the wildfires problem yet
03:25 asciilifeform 'figuring out' would involve maybe the fact that it's 100% usg-created problem , lol
03:25 mats seems the solution is regular burns like the amerindians but i'm an idiot so
03:25 asciilifeform the solution is not to put it out just because bezos's house is in the burn zone naturally
03:26 asciilifeform most fortuitous thing that could possibly happen to usa as a whole is if 100% of california burns to cinders
03:27 signpost the western US biome is fucked in innumerable ways
03:27 mats lol
03:27 mats they will just move to dc
03:27 asciilifeform mats: moneybags dun want to live in swamp air lol
03:27 asciilifeform that's for lackeys
03:28 asciilifeform iirc presently they're moving to tx

03:29 vex democracy wont stop
03:29 signpost oh but it will.
03:29 vex good luck with that
03:29 asciilifeform 'housecoin' up 'over9000x'
03:30 vex \people liek it
03:30 vex house muick
03:30 mats who knows
03:31 mats there's sure to be political upheaval as the west gets older, more conservative, and the young can't sustain public services with their incomes
03:31 mats there'll be hard questions about immigration
03:31 vex taxation. defi will get banned
03:31 asciilifeform mats: afaik already ~100% of the infra work in usa is mexican-powered
03:32 asciilifeform vex: in eltsinization, pyramids not typically banned as such, but brought under crown control.
03:32 asciilifeform ( is what they did w/ e.g. 'mmm' )
03:33 mats the young and the old will demand more services from the state
03:33 mats so probably more taxes
03:33 vex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PERCQLKOEk, meanwhile
03:33 signpost demographics alone will make that collapse.
03:34 mats if the us withdraws from 80% of its foreign commitments, it could spend it domestically
03:34 asciilifeform mats: they already 'demanded' -- and getting -- their cattle stalls. yest. the only decent bakery in asciilifeform's town was closed, landlord wants to demolish and build 9000th block of communal (studentloan-financed) apts
03:34 signpost mats: arguably the foreign commitments prop up the currency system that permits subsidy of the lifestyle the redditards have come to expect
03:34 signpost see 2020 for what happens when they get bored
03:35 asciilifeform current usg proj is to ramp down their 'expects' to what is suppliable. e.g. mcd rather than baked bread.
03:35 signpost this, sadly, possibly sustainable.
03:38 asciilifeform 'densification' proceeding on schedule. (e.g. normal houses being reworked into 'multiplexes')
03:38 dulapbot Logged on 2021-10-27 19:08:32 asciilifeform: re: 'уплотнение' -- see also m.bulgakov's 'dog's heart' :
03:38 signpost still, varying responses to this. portland, oregon murders going way up
03:39 * signpost expects that there will be places where the mcd quota falls short.
03:39 asciilifeform inescapably
03:39 * asciilifeform must bbl.

04:02 vex I know a few psychos who go all the way to da phil
04:03 vex wait for a fa18 to woosh in
04:03 mats the us would have a serious problem if faced with different land grabs by ru and cn
04:05 vex let's hope there's not a war. none of us have ever experienced one
04:05 mats a more aggressive ru could create a shadow in which for cn to move aggressively and pay a smaller cost

19:54 asciilifeform the ~2.2m$ q2 revenue is imho surprisingly small, considering it's a near monopoly
19:55 asciilifeform ( are there any remaining goxes which officially work in usa ? )
19:57 asciilifeform esp. considering that, per the linked site, 'Coinbase had 68mn verified users at the end of Q2’21...'
19:58 asciilifeform ( i.e. avg. rev. of 3-4 cents / qt. per user ?! )
19:59 asciilifeform '67% of deposits in June 2021 were below a $100' << lolredditards
19:59 asciilifeform iguess this explains!
20:02 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
20:03 asciilifeform ( what sorta 'activism' was it ? )
20:03 asciilifeform 'gentlemen, no fighting! this is the war room!'(tm)(r)('strangelove')
20:06 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.
20:06 asciilifeform effectively part of the 'new, well-managed' modernized distributed nsa.
20:07 * asciilifeform wonders, if somehow classical nsa went 'ipo' , what its stock price might be.
20:08 asciilifeform 'There have been concerns that a lot of insiders have sold their shares.' << lolx2
20:09 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

22:13 mats well yeah, its stuck in congress

22:15 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
22:16 mats an interesting transition
22:16 asciilifeform unsurprising imho
22:18 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)
22:18 asciilifeform y'know, like issuing penny stocks req's Official green light from usg ministry of scamola currently.
22:20 asciilifeform usd itself being the archaetypical permissioned shitcoin, difficult to see why the perp would allow unrestrained competition.
22:21 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.
