Ukto: but he would come and tell someone
mircea_popescu: Ukto the admin might have gotten a little paranoid.
noagendamarket: if the sec sends me a letter Ill send them back a link to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc
Ukto: i did hear a rumor about SEC. but that doesnt seem plausable, as no actual us$ was involved, and it was in the UK
MrTiggr: i had a copy of the ermail with headers too ... SPF was all intact, everything checked out from a tch. standpoint
dub: called the lawyer*
mircea_popescu: MrTiggr anyway, it's well established by now that its legit
dub: B0g4r7: there was a thread started by a guy who claimed to have claled the sec lawyer the letter came from, who asked him questions about GLBSE
B0g4r7: Or rather, it lacks the obvious signs of inauthenticity commonly found in these things.
BTC-Mining: I mean, she could start the same accusations without passing things as facts and quoting instead and arguing why it looks shady and why she believes it's highly likely to be a scam or anything.
MrTiggr: mircea_popescu: yeh i thought there was more than one .. i recall seeing dandan talking on irc at the same time thos; so i "witnessed" at least one phonecall
B0g4r7: Hm, yea that email does have the ring of legitimacy to it.
BTC-Mining: But really, the point is not there about if it ends up being true, it's that announcing things as facts before it happens seems to really hurt public opinion of MPEx.
BTC-Mining: excuse passing things as facts which are not.
BTC-Mining: Aye, people are not complaining about if she has a good guess ratio. They complain about the fact she pass up unverified information as facts to push her guesses before the actual facts happen. It's like someone saying everytime "I saw that person murder someone" when it never happened and she just had a hunch about it and in her defense, claim to be right 90% of the time. Doesn't really
MrTiggr: iirc danieldaniel made a phonecall to confirm it (that mustve been funny :D )
mircea_popescu: hey noagendamarket, what's the confirm count on your oldest tx ?
mircea_popescu: but i still think it was pure retardedness
B0g4r7: Yeah, I LOL'd at the patent reference.
mircea_popescu: of the bfl connection
mircea_popescu: B0g4r7 its funny cause of the yeah
noagendamarket: LOTTOMINING brought to you by BFL
B0g4r7: The timing would fit.
BTC-Mining: People are seriously starting to form a bad opinion of MPOE=PR and indirectly, MPEx because she make up facts/guesstimate them without verifying them.
B0g4r7: Like I posted here, I wonder if the LOTTOMINING thing was an SEC sting.
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining im not even sure where she picked that up, but prolly in one of the many usagi drama threads
mircea_popescu: noagendamarket no, those have monyz
BTC-Mining: mircea_popescu, as far as I'm aware, no, but neither was the fact Usagi somehow had any say about assets listing or not.
mircea_popescu: and well... they gotta do something
MrTiggr: all the headers checked out and even a phone call was made to check it i believe
mircea_popescu: it was legit. they prolly got 1000 complaints forwarded from local da's and whatnot
noagendamarket: Shake the trees and see if cocnuts fall out
MrTiggr: looked TOTALLY legit, noagendamarket
noagendamarket: I think the SEC is just trolling
mircea_popescu: MrTiggr by now it;s in the open, go ahead
MrTiggr: ^^ or mircea_popescu can find the pastie
MrTiggr: B0g4r7: i have a copy of the email but not sure if its kosher to pass it around ....
mircea_popescu: B0g4r7 there's a pastebin, want me to dig it out for you ?
MrTiggr: B0g4r7: was that directed at me ?
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining how'd she research things that are privy to like a few people ? was what you claim now posted anywhere ?
MrTiggr: mircea_popescu: B0g4r7 .... the "SEC Guy" thing is in reference to an email recieved by some from SEC i am pretty sure
BTC-Mining: It might not be deliberate, but it's bad PR if the facts she gives are not accurate, especially when making serious accusations.
BTC-Mining: I'll reply soon to the thread, I just mean, ask her to research the facts a thoroughly.
mircea_popescu: B0g4r7 not too clear.
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining why do you think it's deliberate ?
B0g4r7: ^ what is this referring to?
B0g4r7: "feel sorry for anyone who didn't pull out after learning that the SEC guy knew something would be happening with GLBSE."
BTC-Mining: She gives half stories keeping only parts to make it look worse, and people spot it. Makes MPOE-PR look bad and thus MPEx
noagendamarket: The problem is Nefario takes more notice of the people on this "board" than people whio actually own the company....
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining well, so you're in a better position than her to know. you should make a post saying this right there
BTC-Mining: She twists facts/improperly research them
BTC-Mining: I'm also in the group with Usagi. We're merely providing input and opinion but have no actual say in decisions which are left to Nefario
BTC-Mining: Usagi was never declared head of a commission or appointed to review and make decisions about asset inclusion.
noagendamarket: Someone should just make a less retarded version of MPEX with exactly the same features lol
BTC-Mining: III.b. In spite of III.a. Nefario declared Usagi as the head of the ad-hoc commission that was to review GLBSE assets for inclusion in blue/white categories.
BTC-Mining: III.a. Starting at least as early as September 10 the assets controlled by Usagi (CPA, NYAN.x, BMF) were being scrutinized publicly on this forum for gross negligence possibly amounting to fraud on the part of the asset holder, in the same manner and to an extent equal or greater to that of I.a. above.
BTC-Mining: When the shareholders decided by a motion to keep Diablo-D3 as a manager. Also.
BTC-Mining: But about DMC, she states: I.d. The accounts were later unblocked without any audit being performed, and without any material changes in the alleged facts.
B0g4r7: Looks like I missed out on today's drama, being away from my deskjob desk.
BTC-Mining: Okay, so for example, she start a scammer tag thread for nefario. Stating how it's been mismanaged. That's okay until now. I'd agree the situations have been mismanaged.
mircea_popescu: it's one of the things that seem stupid before you get it and impossible to live w/o after.
B0g4r7: hm, yea I never did figure out the web-of-trust or whatever that system is.
mircea_popescu: welcome to irc :p
dub: yes, internet is 50% less retarded for the moment
mircea_popescu: ya its dead for me too.
BTC-Mining: mircea_popescu, can you at least demand from your MPOE-PR to get her facts straight? Although she has many valid claims/points, she keeps attacking everything with misquotes/altered facts which are easy to point out. It's like a double edged sword.
dub: was there some more info?
noagendamarket: best bet : get your local stock broker to accept btc lol
noagendamarket: eventually any bitcoin site offering securities will run into exactly the same issues glbse has
assbot: Invalid ticker.
mircea_popescu: is the owner on irc even ?
mircea_popescu: i must say, cryptostocks site is about 100 times better than glbse ever was
gribble: Best bid: 12.73, Best ask: 12.83, Bid-ask spread: 0.10000, Last trade: 12.83, 24 hour volume: 40200, 24 hour low: 12.6, 24 hour high: 13.0899
dub: or are we not quite there yet
dub: is it hunting nefario down and cutting his tits off?
mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=115507.msg1246125#msg1246125 wow check out this totally awesome idea
smickles: mircea_popescu: i bet I could run up your tx fees by like .0001 or so :P
mircea_popescu: the one thing i love about running mpex is how rarely i need to pay tx fees
smickles: *because this needed one more asterisk
smickles: *far to often to be intentional
smickles: it seems to me people argue both sides of an argument far too often
smickles: wtf, giga went back up to .004ish?
mircea_popescu: actually, virgins are in most times and places more valuable than well used whores. i wonder why.
mircea_popescu: they don't have to be traded to have value, they just need to be wanted.
mircea_popescu: things that people WANT have value.
mircea_popescu: this "if bitcoins are hoarded they're worthless" argument is utterly bs.
smickles: why is that the case?
dub: Smoovious is teh great conspiracy theorist
smickles: did you have the same suspision about glbse, icbit, or cbx?
smickles: ok, i am drunk, that question just derpped me
smickles: Smoovious: didn't something like 500 btc just trade there?
copumpkin: smickles: make sure the SEC sees the whole thing, as it contains crucial evidence for the case
mircea_popescu: y people do not understand the importance of paying me fees :(
mircea_popescu: -Another who ask 350$ for registration with more porn than assets on it.
mircea_popescu: -A website that make instant decisions without any warning (delisting, closing, whatever)
mircea_popescu: How am I supposed to do that? There's no f*****g volume, there's no buyer except at 0.000000001 BTC because of all the shit. Why somebody whould buy an asset when you have the choice between:
Diablo-D3: noagendamarket: thats redundant
smickles: I'd point out that I said that statement in preparation for just this situation
copumpkin: smickles: this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jOwvrRuUC4
noagendamarket: The uS tried sending a nuclear warship to NZ they told them to gtfo
