mircea_popescu: beatings, frequent and vicious, are the only right way to educate.
mircea_popescu: do they submit, obey and learn ? sure they do.
Doffx: I'm not explaining that correctly, but she could really help people if she just went about it in a better way.
mircea_popescu: now compare the reaction to those two. do people whine about her tone ? surely.
Doffx: I find her information useful at the same time she needs to tone it down.
mircea_popescu: .g personal responsibility and the ponzi scam
mircea_popescu: i think i win plenty.
Doffx: I have, I find her rude, and yes I know shes right it her tone.
mircea_popescu: without even saying, hey, we learned this from X ?
mircea_popescu: for instance, the cdo post which everyone shunned and then COPIED ?
mircea_popescu: Doffx have you seen the girl's posts on the subject ?
Doffx: You have a chance to make Mpex the best thing out there I just dont think it will happen.
Doffx: I told you dummies it was a scam is not very educating, " I told you so " In general usually just puts people off and shuts them down completely.
mircea_popescu: this is like saying a college turning down applicants "loses"
mircea_popescu: then problem solved, they've selfselected.
EskimoBob: they start to cry and walk
EskimoBob: not in the forum
mircea_popescu: it works tho.
EskimoBob: mircea_popescu: why not educate those retards a bit?
mircea_popescu: Doffx this may well be very true.
dub: mircea_popescu: true true, I have a pm buddy that is currently contracted to a bank, as CIO
mircea_popescu: i actually think it is irresponsible as a business practice not to.
Doffx: I think your just seeing a lot of fallout from Pirate, and now Glbse.
EskimoBob: and that cunt (you in a derss?) is really bad PR
mircea_popescu: yes, i fully intend to allienate most self-declared investors on internet forums.
Doffx: I agree that’s a stupid argument. People want to have a voice, and if educated and or kept informed are usually easy to work with.
mircea_popescu: it's inadequate to imagine you can speak for "everyone" on the internets.
mircea_popescu: srsly, we need to stop with the everyone already.
mircea_popescu: EskimoBob you at some point have to come to terms with the harsh, cold reality that you calling something x or y has little power to make it be x or y.
mircea_popescu: why would the owner want to be involved with the collection of retards that glbse has collected ?
mircea_popescu: read the part where the girl explains to them they are fucking themselves over, and read their replies.
EskimoBob: dude, you and Nefario/Glbse gang are actually the same :)
mircea_popescu: Doffx now go read the thread where evoorhees announces s.dice, and see what those assholes have to say.
mircea_popescu: unlike the "i will pay you X from secret sources" a la obsi.
EskimoBob: mircea_popescu: heh? That's it? Heh? :)
mircea_popescu: Doffx think about it for a second. you've made some nice business that actually makes sense, economically.
Doffx: As far as the investors go I dont really know how to answer that part.
Doffx: Obviously there was plenty of BTC.
EskimoBob: yes, thye are funny amateurish copy/paste legalese bull crap
mircea_popescu: your laziness to inform yourself isn't really my responsibility you know.
mircea_popescu: EskimoBob have you bothered to read an actual contract there ?
mircea_popescu: Doffx the problem is that most people who would be worthy to list do not want to get involved with what glbse + the forum have convinced them "investors" are
EskimoBob: and how is this "it's secure" makes the crapp issued there any less crappier than what GLBSE had listed?
mircea_popescu: and on it goes, but i won't bother with all the many countless ways glbse was UNDER the minimum conceivable standard.
Doffx: Apparently there are only 2 people that are not moron's in his book
mircea_popescu: it actually lists securities as opposed to scams
mod6: and you don't allow any random moron to issue a security
EskimoBob: mircea_popescu: I do not want to start any pissing contest here but whay do you think your exchange is any different than GLBSE (excluding the looks etc)
mircea_popescu: ya, you can try 6 month's denial. and then ?
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining when you go from being the lone player in the market to struggling to keep your 20% share...
mircea_popescu: i don't appreciate the misguided attempt to turn that scandal into some sort of "oh, it's what it is"
Azelphur: perhaps but that's irrelephant to my statement
EskimoBob: "33:56 thestringpuller | EskimoBob: lets take down Usagi rough shim up." - funny :) I think usagi is taking himself down at the moment. Maybe this is his exit "strategy" and he is going to announce how he feels insulted and leaves for good. A girlish exit lol
BTC-Mining: wait. Did you just attribute yourself the closure of GLBSE?
mircea_popescu: the thing existed to promote scams.
mircea_popescu: glbse has a proven track record of scammer-promotion.
mircea_popescu: <Azelphur> the amount of scammers, I'd probably be happier on the regulated one for most things << what are you, retarded ?! seriously now.
mircea_popescu: has absolutely zero to do with any "laws".
mircea_popescu: thing was going to shit, the fact that i killed them back in may finally landed in their thick skulls, quick grab for as much money as possible ensued as part of the unwinding procedures.
mircea_popescu: glbse was taking off ? in what paralel universe are we talking ?
mircea_popescu: lmao jurov what bs in that chatlog.
mircea_popescu: the ones without no better title than pm are like the reserve nobody ever picks
BTC-Mining: That's why you put the smart one on a computer and the retard as the manager to whip the troop and be loud.
mircea_popescu: the thing is, project managers who aren't brain damaged have much better titles even if what they mostly do is manage projects
BTC-Mining: Because people that are not brain damaged are needed to do actual work.
BTC-Mining: Oh, wait... I remember what they say: "Everyone in the US is a criminal since everything is illegal."
BTC-Mining: ... how would that be illegal in the US?
mircea_popescu: jesus blog comment spammers are getting more retarded by the month.
jurov: yes. but he wanted to make something with graphs iirc.
mircea_popescu: jurov actually iirc he made a fully functional python script that most everyone uses.
mircea_popescu: i don't see an issue with going to jail b/c bitcoin.
jurov: mircea, good you weren't here when azephur said he abandoned development because he doesn't wanted to go to jail
BTC-Mining: I'm being spread on the interwebz!1!!1!!!
copumpkin: cause the NY criminal lawyer is a brony
pigeons: yeah i knew i wasn't that clever
copumpkin: the best one is the one with the pony in it
mircea_popescu: it was our good friend the pumpkin.
mircea_popescu: <BTC-Mining> That one is good too: http://thecriminallawyer.tumblr.com/post/29326904495/16-a-problems
pigeons: hmm, could have been me but probably not, i don't remember it. I like the comics a lot though
pigeons: what blog is that from?
pigeons: oh did I? I don't actually read the things i paste
mircea_popescu: pigeons you were the original source of trouble tho weren't you, with linking that blog.
mircea_popescu: i imagine the russians muchly objected.
mircea_popescu: nah, it ain't. had they the sense to make it a state it'd have actually been interesting.
pigeons: and Iraq is the 51st state
rdponticelli: Don't forget: I can't give it back, b/c bitcoins transactions are irreversible
smickles: rdponticelli: do you remember where that came from? I want to source it
rdponticelli: Well, somebody should make a page with the Scammer's arguments
rdponticelli: dub: yeah, I just read lightly about the case
dub: life is too short to even acknowledge people with so little worth
dub: rdponticelli: bulanula was the first account I ignored, the final straw
thestringpuller: i'm your sister as a teen
pigeons: i'm typing with one hand too, everytime thestringpuller talks
thestringpuller: i am typing with my thumbs at work
rdponticelli: BTC-Mining: I don't know. I recall bulanula arguing that he can't return what was overpaid to him, because bitcoin transactions wasn't reversible
mircea_popescu: one of the few true girls on the interwebs. your loss.
smickles: i should just stoppit with the forum already
smickles: dub: that's a good point
mircea_popescu: the process is more useful than the result i guess.
dub: scam tags issued by a scammer are not useful
