Chaaang-Noi: the should hold
the name so no one will use it
BTC-Mining: The
thing is, no one can enforce it and someone will eventually
try
to claim "Bitcoin Foundation"
BTC-Mining: I'm a bit annoyed but don't mind
the name
too much.
BTC-Mining: Well, as
the core devs seems
to be participating...
they're already kind of making
things
themselve anyway
to start with. And been doing a great job.
Chaaang-Noi: cuz all it is is
the mt gox and bitinstant foundation
to pay gavin...
BTC-Mining: But I mean, most open source project have an "official" foundation which is not
technically... well official at all.
Chaaang-Noi: im fine he has a foundation, and i want him
to have one
Chaaang-Noi: gavin i am not happy about cuz of
the name of his foundation.. but other
than
that fine
Chaaang-Noi: people i dont
trust, mt gox, nefario now
theymos...
BTC-Mining: Is he well known other
than as
theymos?
Chaaang-Noi: theymos... oh man, he has
turned out
to be a scummy fuck
Chaaang-Noi: however
theymos gave a guy a scammers
tag just for
that months ago
Chaaang-Noi: theymos said peole should keep
the double payments and not give back
to nefario
BTC-Mining: Even if yes, most have zero
trust in Nefario.
BTC-Mining: Kind of
taking your personal grudge against Nefario and venging yourself at
the detriment of others who are waiting for
their funds.
BTC-Mining: So... who's advocating
that people keep
the double payment for
themselve?
thestringpuller: ive stopped checking
them since I discovered usagi is incompetent
mircea_popescu: OK, I stand corrected. And if you prefer lulz over doing some research how exactly MPOE is financed,
then sorry, I'll rather leave any further discussion
to MPOE-PR .
EskimoBob: rats do not like sinking boats...
theymos khmkk....
EskimoBob: i guess

to resolve problems, right, correct and everything else
EskimoBob: Chaang-Noi: it just absurd. All
they had
to do was keep
the damn
thing open but close
trading except issuer<->client
Chaang-Noi: what a fail boat glbse has
turned into

taking lots of money in (from mtgox ?) and doling it out
to many people who paid me btc. what do i do
to make it legal ?)
mircea_popescu: you really shouldn't be going into something like
this w/o a lawyer partner.
mircea_popescu: i would
think your greater problem would be handling money flows.
thestringpuller: I can't seem
to figure out a way
to do
that with money gram fees (dey such a monopoly)
thestringpuller: I read some literature on "free as a value proposition" and in order
to pad an expense of a service
that is free, you have
to have something else
to make up for it
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu, i want
to do
the withdrawal version of BitInstant, allow for people
to send a service BTC's (like fastcash4bitcoins.com) and sends out moneygrams within 10 minutes.
The only
thing is padding
the fees
