____Atlas_____: Oh true
Eisenhower34: "BTC is excellent for transacting freely over the web." <- only for "maybe non legal business" and only if the other party accepts BTC
PsychoticBoy: you can better sale shit on SR or BMR that way youll only earn, not lose btc
BTC-Mining: For other purposes... it carries a lot more risk. Very attractive to con artists.
BTC-Mining: BTC is excellent for transacting freely over the web.
____Atlas_____: I never planned on going to shitstain Ireland anyways
PsychoticBoy: I urge everyone to never work with Nefario again. A Bitcoin stock exchange is a good idea, though. I hope that someone will create something better than GLBSE and MPEx. ;; quote theymos
____Atlas_____: It may be the same regulatory swipe
____Atlas_____: Pirate and the GLBSE are pretty connected
Eisenhower34: started with MBT 3 weeks before they gone offline
Eisenhower34: started GLBSE trading like 1 month ago
Eisenhower34: like i said, everything i touch breaks
Eisenhower34: believe? in btc? btc was a good idea but it attracts too many ... "fraud"
____Atlas_____: Don't tell me you sold?
Eisenhower34: this whole BTC thing sucks more and more
BTC-Mining: So I don't trust theymos' say too much.
BTC-Mining: Aye... but theymos stated Nefario used users deposit to pay a lawyer, then admitted he was actually just making a guess as he didn't think Nefario had the money for a lawyer and wanted one.
____Atlas_____: Ugh, they should of just hosted it in Russia where they do not give a flying fuck
Luceo: BTC-Mining: theymos thinks it's legal
Luceo: ____Atlas_____: People need to take stock EXCHANGES seriously
____Atlas_____: I like that this happened because people are now going to take stocks seriously.
Luceo: It may well have been legal issues that forced nefario's hand
____Atlas_____: I am going to be brutally honest.
Luceo: This is the point though where we should be thinking about how to get the exchanges off the clearnet
PsychoticBoy: We are going to an other exchange
PsychoticBoy: Oh man I hate this
BTC-Mining: Psychotic, technically, FDBF might still be managed without GLBSE. Only it would be excessively hard and time consuming to do so.
Luceo: ____Atlas_____: Those gangs are viable in a single locale, they're far less viable in a global market
noagendamarket: satoshi needs to build better people
noagendamarket: people are the problem :P
____Atlas_____: Luceo: Nope. We could have gangs do our bidding but that will just bring Bitcoin to illicit level.
Luceo: ____Atlas_____: Is there a better option than court at this point? I'm no fan of the state but it seems like these issues are constant at this point with no way to collect debt or deal with scammers.
noagendamarket: single handedly ripped the guts out of the entire economy
____Atlas_____: I guess I haven't lost enough in this case. I got most of my money out in time.
OneEyed: And wait for BFL to go away with people money, looks like they are getting more and more suspect (found on Reddit): https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7112341/bitcoin/bfl_doesnt_own_a_camera.png
noagendamarket: neva trust intersango
PsychoticBoy: If I only could go back in time and just kicked nef in the nuts at the conference
mircea_popescu: stop mixing things.
mircea_popescu: eh this is civil dood.
____Atlas_____: mircea_popescu: A court ruling isn't going to bring your dead child back.
mircea_popescu: ____Atlas_____ want me to tell you a story then ?
____Atlas_____: I have seen the results of court proceedings
PsychoticBoy: Nefario fucked us, If I knew this, Then I had punched him at the conference and HARD
____Atlas_____: mircea_popescu: You can't possibly think the legal process works most of the time
mircea_popescu: OneEyed you have a solid point, but they're kids and don;t know how thigns work.
Luceo: So, whos setting up a tor or p2p exchange?
____Atlas_____: OneEyed: The guy probably has a plane ticket off to China right now
OneEyed: ____Atlas_____: ok, so bend over and take him deep, don't object, do nothing
OneEyed: noagendamarket: of course he does matter. If he refused to hand over the database while having been removed from the board, that would probably make him liable of other illicit acts.
OneEyed: So we can conclude that we do not have a majority of shareholders formally objecting to Nefario being in charge.
noagendamarket: didnt matter anyway he has the database etc
OneEyed: noagendamarket: ok, so no motion was voted, so he has *not* refused to go out when facing a motion
noagendamarket: I voted to remove him
noagendamarket: som e people refused to vote
noagendamarket: We tried voting him out
____Atlas_____: They guy is a sovereign when it comes to GLBSE
mircea_popescu: OneEyed they're not particularly experienced in these things.
OneEyed: mircea_popescu: sure, but they have done nothing about it, not even a motion
____Atlas_____: if the*
____Atlas_____: OneEyed: The question is the agreement can be enforced?
mircea_popescu: they meeting was... warm, so to speak.
OneEyed: ____Atlas_____: do you see what's wrong here? He they put a motion and he refuses to release control of the assets, *then* he is acting openly in violation of the shareholders agreement
mircea_popescu: ____Atlas_____ which explains to you why this is never getting resolved.
OneEyed: ____Atlas_____: so they haven't put a motion forward because of that?
____Atlas_____: but he has all the assets
____Atlas_____: OneEyed: They would have if they could.
BTC-Mining: I'd say like mircea. For some reason Nefario might just want to quit altogether and isn't forced to close GLBSE. He might just be running from his responsibility as the manager of GLBSE.com
OneEyed: ____Atlas_____: so as far as I know, they haven't voted him out yet
mircea_popescu: this is why mpex doesn't even recognize the concept of shareholder vote.
OneEyed: ____Atlas_____: theymos said that he said he wouldn't move even if he was voted out
mircea_popescu: OneEyed practically, there's no actual way to transfer authority in a btc corp
____Atlas_____: OneEyed: They pretty have
mircea_popescu: rather than i dunno, arrest whoeverthehell.
mircea_popescu: realistically they'd either put up a guideline or talk to people involved ("advise as to X Y Z")
mircea_popescu: for one, contrary to what most everyone (on the forum) seems to think, sec regulation is very unlike the jackbooted thugedness everyone seems to expect.
mircea_popescu: i really don't think so.
____Atlas_____: Things are about to hit the shitter in regards to regulation
____Atlas_____: Eisenhower34: There's a reason I stopped daytrading today
mircea_popescu: pirate's crap made a +-30% dent, but that was 500k-ish
Eisenhower34: Wondering when mtgox goes offline... thats the only online market thing where I got more bitcoins right now...
____Atlas_____: This is what makes a market irrational at times because of a perceived irrationality.
drekk: mircea_popescu, i've come to the conclusion that everything's possible in bitcoin world :P
____Atlas_____: I mean, if a good portion believes it will go down because of this
____Atlas_____: EVERYTHING I TOUCH DIES
Eisenhower34: touched pirate... it broke... touched BDT... it broke... touched MBT... it broke... and now GLBSE is done....
drekk: wondering if/how this will affect btc/fiat exchange rates
____Atlas_____: Well, since this is now a criminal enterprise
Eisenhower34: So just that GLBSE is down or have there been updates about that "singularity" ....
mircea_popescu: we were auditing the proposed process to get out of the glbse singularity.
Eisenhower34: may I ask about the topic of your conversation? whats "this" in "average bitcointalk folks even able to get a lesson out of this"
BTC-Mining: Seeing as how most seem to act around the forums.
mircea_popescu: well, nobody cares about average folk. experience benefits those involved.
BTC-Mining: But are the average bitcointalk folks even able to get a lesson out of this...
mircea_popescu: so in this sense there's a benefit.
mircea_popescu: i think it's a perfect lesson in practical politics, economics and law for all involved.
BTC-Mining: Well to each system, it's advantages I guess...
mircea_popescu: and obviously in a decentralized currency nobody has the authority to make such a statute
mircea_popescu: so there'd have to be a statute of limitations baked in at any rate, otherwise nobody sane would accept to be part of this as an issuer
mircea_popescu: then three weeks later there's this claim.
