12:36 shinohai ^ my bot down for logging improvements, will rejoin later.
12:36 shinohai (Didn't want to inundate chan with join/part spam)
12:37 asciilifeform shinohai: ok
~ 3 hours 10 minutes ~
15:48 shinohai In shitcoin news: https://americanmilitarynews.com/2020/08/feds-seize-millions-from-al-qaeda-isis-hamas-cryptocurrency-sites/
~ 32 minutes ~
16:20 asciilifeform shinohai: hey it's a traditional, at this point, usg btc collection method -- put up a sign 'drop coinz here for isis' etc.
16:29 asciilifeform shinohai: typically it's organized along the lines of the nyc 'death ray plot' -- find a 'believer' halfwit who 'participates willingly' to circumvent what's left of entrapment laws; collect donations; then designated arrestee, pompous trial, life sentence, etc. while usg collects not only contents of donation box but a fresh +100m$ in congressional 'anti-terror fund'
16:29 snsabot (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
16:30 thimbronion Never any interesting details in these "seizure" story - never even clear if the journo knows what anything he writes means.
16:30 asciilifeform prosecutors, who 'cracked tough case' -- promoted.
16:30 asciilifeform thimbronion: it's cut&pasta from doj www
16:30 thimbronion It's like reading google translate.
16:31 shinohai lmao
16:33 thimbronion It goes all the way down. Wtf does it even mean to be 'ISIS'?
16:34 asciilifeform thimbronion: usg in orc shitholes runs ~same script, except they hand out functional weapons instead of theatrical ones. then -- +bil$ to pentagon & 'allies' to 'fight new threat' etc.
16:35 asciilifeform previously was branded 'al qaeda' etc
16:38 thimbronion asciilifeform: I'm not persuaded as to whether this is concpieracy or stupidity. Did you meet any of these guys?
16:38 thimbronion *conspiracy jeezus
16:39 thimbronion asciilifeform: you've seen their 'civilization' in MD and N. Virginia. Stupidity or Conspiracy?
16:42 thimbronion Go to any MD Dave & Busters and listen to the deep convos.
16:45 thimbronion Also - reading Tolstoy and beginning to see how Russia got a Tsaikovsky and the US got ~nada.
16:57 trinque vacation from history means you don't get any.
~ 55 minutes ~
17:53 asciilifeform thimbronion: 'death ray'(tm)(r) production dun require all that much in the way of clever conspiracy. nor is usa monopoly, recently e.g. putin's dept. of terrorisms organized a rather posh one, made outta dozen folx plucked ~randomly from ~street
17:56 asciilifeform use of provocateurs in the modern style goes back to 19th c.
17:57 asciilifeform it aint in any sense 'high tech'.
18:03 asciilifeform ( the basic algo goes like this. )
18:03 snsabot (trilema) 2014-04-13 asciilifeform: the 'a) wanna buy strela? b) fuck off c) really, dontcha? b) ok sure c) off to jail' thing has been going so long that it doesn't even make national news every time now.
18:11 asciilifeform often enuff they dun even try to keep it a seekrit, but brag. not far from here there's a museum where hangs 'here's submachine gun with no firing pin that fbi successfully sold to $camelfucker in sting operation in 2007' etc)
18:13 asciilifeform the more common variant is tin of sugar labeled 'cocaine'. these so routine that they make no newspaper much less museum.

20:30 snsabot Logged on 2020-05-05 19:39:14 asciilifeform: thimbronion: i watched ruble die as a boy. suddenly had whole sack full of'em, felt 'rich'. until a little later, when noticed it wouldn't buy even candy bar
20:30 asciilifeform shinohai: in orcistan, folx dun say 'millionaire', they say 'dollar millionaire'.
20:31 asciilifeform cuz 'default millionaire' is simply a fella who can afford a gently-used toyota.
20:32 asciilifeform tbf 'dollar millionaire' similarly aint what it used to be.
20:32 shinohai pffft plebs, I have 2 TRILLION ZIMBABWEAN DOLLAHS
20:33 asciilifeform (now it's simply a fella who can afford to take sabbatical for 2-3y)
20:33 asciilifeform shinohai: might be worth including these in the ticker, for lulz
20:35 shinohai kek prolly would be. According to coinmill 1BTC = 92,233,720,368,547,760.00 Zimbabwe dollars
20:36 asciilifeform that kinda figure prolly oughta be printed as 9.2e16 lol
20:38 asciilifeform for ref : 1m$ buys you b/w 1/2 and whole house + maybe cemetery plot, in habitable parts of usa
20:38 snsabot Logged on 2020-08-12 16:02:54 asciilifeform: today you need 0.6 - 1 mil $ to buy ~cardboard and aluminum~ house on that street.
20:38 shinohai I know one lulzy one I currently have:
20:38 shinohai $ticker btc ves
20:38 btcinfobot Current BTC price in VES: $3406023552.65
20:39 asciilifeform not quite zim yet
20:39 shinohai Catch up Maduro
20:39 asciilifeform are vzbux even traded internationally ?
20:39 asciilifeform i thought they were 'inconvertible' like sovruble
20:40 asciilifeform i.e. can't get'em outside of vz, and if you show up inside and ask for 3406023552, you get instead cracked skull
20:42 shinohai I dunno I kinda lost track, they renamed them to "Bolivar fuertes" or something. Perhaps BingoBoingo knows.
20:42 asciilifeform what named, less interesting than the mechanics.
20:43 asciilifeform su ruble wasn't traded Officially (well, nominally was, 15 per $, i.e. fictional mandated exch)
20:43 shinohai Hyperinflation I think given reason as usual
20:46 asciilifeform shinohai: inflations work 2 ways -- one of'em is the reason wai in prison cell pnoje costs 1k $
20:46 asciilifeform i.e. shortage of supply of $item
20:46 asciilifeform in train to auschwitz, glass of water cost exactly 1 gold watch.
20:47 shinohai "Cuanto cuesta un Zyklon B por favor?"
20:47 asciilifeform the phone is 1k not because all of cell block necessarily has 1k between it
