MT. GOX BUYERS WOULD OFFER CREDITORS 20 PERCENT PAYOUT OR EQUITY IN REVIVED EXCHANGE. Someone wants to buy Mt Gox?


For you vlad

The thing that interests me most about crypto is the prospects of war which are so clearly being forced into our psyche. It's propaganda, propaganda everywhere you look.

Somebodies somewheres are pissed they are loosing money. Other somebodies somewheres are pissed that there are so many people on the Earth.

I don't profess to know what's coming from all this but war is in the air.

Let's get our history straight.

For the first 1980 years cryptography (even if by another name) is the most important skill for decoding and encoding war messages. 1990ish the internet gets invented (by the government) running off of cryptographic principles. Later in 2009 cryptocurrency is invented. Now what kind of idiot wouldn't think that that's going to be utilized for economic warfare?

Cryptocurrency is a weapon. Coupled with all the fancy new multi-billion-dollar military equipment we've been stockpiling for years, what the fuck else could come of this? It's a mad, mad, crazy world.

Cryptocurrency is a weapon.

I think everyone here knows how this story ends.

Cryptocurrencies are going to get mass adoption quick

Cross posting an excerpt from an ongoing discussion in another thread...


Risto it appears you excel on "counting" games, but when it comes to logic it appears you over generalize (or choose the simplest understanding for efficiency) and this causes you to make mistakes. I suck at board games but I appear to excel at seeing all the conceptual issues in full range of depth and extracting the generative essence. Our brains appear to be wired differently. That appears to make you better at finding arbitrage opportunities than me (but gives you no advantage in timing market moves), but my skill appears to make me a superior visionary than you. I don't excel mentally with anything that requires me to interact with my external sensors. I excel with short I/O tape and then let my mind run on it, although normally my reading comprehension is very high but don't expect me to interact in parallelized real-time with my I/O i.e. that game you mentioned upthread (I tried while getting sleepy and only managed 16000 after several tries perhaps I would do better if I put some thought into how I should be calculating the move probabilities on that grid, but it appears to come naturally to you?).

I had the following insight before, but no one prompted me to share it. It is difficult for me to keep track of all my ideas.

Contemplate that the technologies which benefit the masses are those which have individual scope; whereas, those which subject the masses to greater extortion via the collective have collective scope. For example, washing machines have only individual scope and were rapidly (logistically) adopted across the breadth of the developed world. Whereas, nuclear power and nuclear weapons can't be individualized and have further enslaved us in the collective.

The internet (networking in general) is a mix of individual empowerment and collective enslavement.

What does anonymity do in theory? In theory it makes it possible to have all the individual empower without any (most) of the collective enslavement.

This is why I am so obsessed with making sure we have anonymity, not just in our money but in every aspect of the internet. The technology I am working on is not only applicable to crypto-currency. I want to change the entire internet to make it asymmetrically more of an individual empowerment.

Throughout history we had anonymity in our money because it was physical. Now Bitcoin comes along with a fully traceable public ledger and we give up asymmetric power to the collective. This alarmed the shit out of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said to myself a year ago, "hell no! not if I can do anything about it".

In geek speak, "you just don't get it".

The other asymmetric problem specific to Bitcoin is it uses ASICs thus mining is in the hands of the few, and also there is nothing in the design which economically discourages large pools thus one pooltwo or three pools now controls more than 50% of the hash rate. Bitcoin has already fallen and can NEVER be a benefit to the individual. Sorry! Just wishing it to be not so is foolish. I don't have a vendetta against crypto-currency, rather I am logically analyzing the situation. And attempting to fix it. I was frankly initially shocked that you were so dismissive and uninterested (and others even attacked me for wanting to improve the situation), but then I realized it is because you guys don't think on a deep level as I do or you are blinded by your speculative fever and vested interests as owners of Bitcoins. And thus you walk right into the honey pot so designed to trap you. (And there are both technical and political reasons improvements to these issues can NEVER be back ported into Bitcoin. Sorry!)

P.S. the other fundamental driver of asymmetric power of the collective on the internet is the client-server model instead of P2P.

It is a fact that a physical multifurcating network is more efficient than a fully connected mesh topology, i.e. running a smaller pipe from the water district to each house increases the cost and back pressure than running a main line and then multifurcating branches off it (cross-sectional area reduces by the square of the proportional diameter decreases). However, the transfer of data on the internet does not obey that physical law because we don't charge for data according to the path it takes. However the challenge is the efficient, redundant DHT storage and serve of data for a purely P2P internet. That is a more difficult technical hurdle.

P.S.S. I predicted a couple of weeks ago the IRS ruling would be what it is and that it would cause the price to dive. The post is some where in my public archives on bitcointalk.

If we assume that they got to Gavin during the CIA visit then it should be logical to question every action he has done since then.

Was he steering the protocol, maybe away from certain concepts?

Also
Does anyone know anything about van der Laan? I haven't had any time to research this individual.
 

Ahahaaa.  I agree.  Gavin was forced out.

Do I have to pull up my post from nearly 2 months ago where I said heads were gonna keep rolling at the foundation until "they" got total control?

Poor Gavin.  Who knows what they got on him.

Or better yet, what they planted on him or his home computer.

You know what, I'm gonna let him know that I know, on twitter.  I did it with Karpeles and Shrem so why not Gavin.  Maybe one of them will come out and admit what I'm saying is really happening which would finally let the whole world know just how Centralized Bitcoin really is.


Then they'll run to.....ME.

No reason to get upset about it. Hah.

I'd like the price to have stayed lower but whatever, no big deal. At the least it proves there's somebody with a serious interest in Ixc if only the interest to make it appear alive.

Nobody commands an ocean. We're lucky to get any money when we never coded even one string of the project.
