Is fiat done?

that would be cool

but i reckon the prizes are fine

maybe if it's not as popular as in its heyday, allow us to pick more of a range - wasn't it like that at one point?

if someone is seen to win a prize, the contest may become more popular again...

Ring Them Bells
Bob Dylan

Ring them bells ye heathen from the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries cross the valleys and streams
For they're deep and they're wide
And the world is on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the bride

Ring them bells Saint Peter where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an iron hand
So the people will know
Oh it's rush hour now
On the wheel and the plow
And the sun is going down upon the sacred cow

Ring them bells Sweet Martha for the poor man's son
Ring them bells so the world will know that God is one
Oh the shepherd is asleep
Where the willows weep
And the mountains are filled with lost sheep

Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the game is through
Ring them bells for the time that flies
For the child that cries
When innocence dies

Ring them bells for Saint Catherine from the top of the room
Ring them bells from the fortress for the lilies that bloom
Oh the lines are long and the fighting is strong
And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong

[16:57:38] · <a111> Logged on 2017-07-14 16:47 mircea_popescu: aaand trinque, incidentally, as it just occured to me -- can you get deedbot payments online by the end of the month ? seems somewhat likely usg is gonna turn off its "webwallet" bullshits from blockchain.info down.

[16:57:44] · <mircea_popescu> cool deal.

[16:59:51] · <shinohai> All signs point to this .... blockchain.info is added as DNS seed for segwit2x in recent commits on shithub

[17:00:55] · <mircea_popescu> would have been great if we had a service that had already been open, tested and could be advertised ; but it'll be useful even to have it new, not like the dorks have much memory or mental consideration space anyway.

[17:01:29] · <mircea_popescu> meanwhile on reddit, [porn censored]

[17:03:00] · <asciilifeform> lol dns seeds

[17:03:10] · <asciilifeform> i nearly forgot that this existed.

(Bloomberg) -- The pound was set for a weekly advance against the dollar as the prospect of tighter monetary policy in the U.K. combined with pared bets for U.S. rate rises.

Hello shwifty you're all over the newses today:

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/evd5je/an-ethereum-token-called-fuck-raised-dollar30000-in-30-minutes

I emailed the FUCK token team and spoke over the phone with someone calling themselves "shwifteey." They declined to give their real name, saying that the FUCK token team is trying to remain anonymous because "when people search our names I don't want this to be the first thing that comes up."

You cheeky fucker. Piss off and learn how to behave.

Comparisons with the human rights record and propaganda efforts of Nazi Germany are particularly dismaying for Beijing after a period in which it feels it has successfully legitimised its one-party state on the world stage. At the G20 summit in Hamburg earlier this month, no world leader publicly challenged President Xi over Liu Xiaobo's treatment. With China increasingly powerful abroad and punitive at home, there are few voices raised on behalf of its political dissidents. -Carrie Gracie

There was a time, I was shocked by Chinese middle class disdain for dissidents, some of them relatively liberal point of view. Their first nerve reflex was always to find a reason to blame the dissidents. All the finger pointing to victims, instead of people who are arrested, tortured and imprisoned them; after all, the State apparatus is always the State apparatus. --Foreign policy (James Palmer) *07-11

this next diff period will provide extra excitement and thrills, as all may or indeed may not become clear re forkz/segwitz
here's hoping miners act rationally
