I've been following this guy for weeks and I still can't figure out what the hell the point of Tweetforum is. Is it a message board that automatically sends posts to its Twitter followers?

Well, hopefully Tweetforum 2.0 will offer some substantial improvements. He's taking applications to join the beta test, so now's the time to get in on the ground floor! http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=15747.msg368910#msg368910 Edit: Fixed link.

If it weren't for the fact that he apparently has a decent amount of BitCoins, I would just peg Vegetta as a troll. Unfortunately, I think he's actually just this naive and megalomaniacal.

If I understand his Tweetforum correctly, a news item is tweeted with a link to the Tweetforum with a copied AP article. Has anyone told him that he is stealing content?

The part that gets me about it is that he's literally just taken an off-the-shelf piece of forum software (SMF) and used a pre-existing RSS-to-Tweet service (twitterfeed.com) and he's deluded himself into thinking he's built something magnificent; and he acts like a captain of industry every time he talks about it and proudly links to his 15 twitter accounts as if to say "most people only have one twitter account, I have many". That's the hilarious part of all the stupid schemes coming off the Bitcoin forums. Nobody's doing anything that's even in the slightest bit original; they're just clunking together duplo blocks and expecting people to be impressed. All the little homeschooled libertarian children who've spent their entire lives sheltered from reality and being told by their doting mothers that they're special and talented are charging excitedly into the world; and like trapped flies, they just keep banging into the window pane thinking that this time they're going to get through it, that this stock install of SMF is going to take off. That this harebrained business plan, the latest of many in a long line of ideas that were all conspicuously abandoned after a few days, will be the one that convinces someone to invest $20,000.

Of course BoingBoing would be all over something like BitCoins. Implausible, impractical futurist garbage? I think I hear Cory Doctorow preparing his crusty sock as we speak. Anyway, between the hosed up distribution, mining and hoarding, wouldn't BitCoins fluctuate like mad? Currencies aren't much use if you can't nail down an absolute value.

Melraidin posted:So back from 14 $ to 13.50 $ today. Is anyone here taking advantage of the seemingly predictable weekend drops? Or has anyone tracked anyone via the block explorer to see how people are playing the market? You can't track the MTGox action in blockexplorer, since all trade there happens within their own system. In theory, you might be able to analyze how much BTC gets taken out of MTGox, but that won't tell much.

The mods over there quite seriously say that people's real world qualifications are irrelevant and shouldn't even be mentioned in discussions over there. It's the ultimate circle jerk. I've come across some fairly elitist forums in the past but I think the BTC forum is probably one of the worst in terms of having no real basis on which to claim any kind of superiority. Their heads would frigging explode if they came over here and got expert advice from real experts who expect nothing in return.

Boiled Water posted:Ayn Rand didn't actually use parasite a lot, just very briefly. As a general rule, any stupid thing Ayn Rand did or said gets seized on and used much more often by internet libertarians. And the stupider the better. For example: all the "heroes" of Atlas Shrugged first got themselves hundreds of workers and underlings each to do their work for them to be considered great. Of course it's not the people they hire who actually do the work who are great just the guy in charge but you need to have them to prove you're really a True Hero Man or whatever. Your average internet libertarian however thinks he's a great dude from Atlas Shrugged despite having noone to order around to do his work. And they wonder why people don't respect them for haivng nothing more than vague ideas and rudimentary skills.

Of course it's not the people they hire who actually do the work who are great just the guy in charge but you need to have them to prove you're really a True Hero Man or whatever. I thought most of them were presented as having worked their way up from the mailroom, so to speak. It's been years since I slogged through Atlas Shrugged, but I'm pretty sure I remember one of the characters got a part-time job as an errand boy or something at a copper mine when he started college, and by the time he graduated, he was not only running the mine, he OWNED it. And that's completely plausible because he's just that good.  So you'd think the Randroids would pick their industry and go try to do the same thing. My guess is they don't do that because it sounds hard, and anyway they deserve to be the boss right away, because clearly they're just that good too.

I'm pretty sure that's Francisco you're talking about. Heir to a billion dollar copper empire (it's going to be his anyway) and he gets a side job breaking rocks while he's at university, just 'cause.

Ah, but picking an industry and starting to work in it gives you experience, and experience kills the Dunning–Kruger effect that is keeping their whole worldview afloat.

Tea party libertarians are a different breed, they're the ones that are usually conservative Christians.
