RogueAI: it would be nice if
the devs were more interested in faster confirmations from
the core network
PeanutPower: i'm working on
that :P from an LTC perspective :)
RogueAI: I dislike agreeing with Atlas but I'm just going
to ignore
that foundation
boonies4u: PeanutPower: we need more games
that use it ingame
RogueAI: imo,
the mantra for BTC should be "medium of exchange for
the internet"
noagendamarket: its not a
tool
to
take down
the state its a
tool against bankers :P
RogueAI: why did
they let
this guy be a founder?
RogueAI: that has
the scent of intelligence asset all ove rit
boonies4u: I don't want bitcoin
to become centralized or regulated, but I also don't want it
to be labeled as a
tool
to be used against
the state
boonies4u: I don't want
TBF
to lead bitcoin
to either extreme
RogueAI: ok
that Jon Matonis bio is giving me creepy feelings about Gavin's past CIA
talk
drekk: "Centralised. Here we are with
the worlds most powerful distributed system with countless possibilities for expansion and yet we keep building an infrastructure with centralised components like we're still living in
the dot com boom and practically every damn attack has been against centralised components."

RogueAI: maybe you should start seeding "John Matis is an idiot" around
the internet
boonies4u: noagendamarket: it's probably
too late for me
RogueAI: I don't doubt
that
there are plenty of idiot people out
there who won't understand
that no one can speak for a inanimate
trading unit
RogueAI: I once made
the mistake of reading an issue at a laundromat
boonies4u: putting up articles like
that is what will get us declared as
terrorists
boonies4u: RogueAI: I have a problem with an organization politicizing bitcoin, which would be essentially
throwing non-anonymous members and bitcoiners under
the bus
RogueAI: boonies4u, you mean you have a problem with monetary
tyranny, correct?
drekk: meh.
think
the bigger problem is centralization of PR/visibility
to
the outside
RogueAI: The network is pretty safe as long as
the majority don't adopt a code release with centralizing features
noagendamarket: The lead dev being in charge of
the bitcoin foundation doesnt help :P
BTC-Mining: I don't care about
the voluntary nature of bitcoins, I care about
the lack of centralization.
noagendamarket: just search and replace all uses of
the word bitcoin lol
boonies4u: noagendamarket: what is
this I don't even
noagendamarket: is it still bitcoin if you change
the name of
the client ?
boonies4u: it would remove
the voluntary nature of bitcoin
boonies4u: I don't bitcoin
to be an official currency by a country
bitcoinbear: make bitcoin
the official curreny ofthe
tribe
BTC-Mining: It would make
things interesting at least.
BTC-Mining: Make a
tribe with your own language, never educate
the kids about any word of english. If
the first generation dies along with english before you are discovered,
the next ones when discovered would be a completly non-english speaking, oblivious
to
technology,
tribe of people from american descent...
bitcoinbear: but yes, I have seen coast gaurd out
there
noagendamarket: I
think
the lakota indians seceeded again didnt
they ?
noagendamarket: people break in
to houses inn Australia because no one has guns and you can sue
the house owner if you break a leg while stealing from
them
bitcoinbear: how long would it
take people
to notice me way out
there?
bitcoinbear: actually,
the other day I was contemplating stealing one of
the islands in Lake Michigan
noagendamarket: bitcoiners dont do shit when you rip
them, off...so people rip
them off
boonies4u: though it would be more attractive
to use
the plastic balls made out recycled materials
noagendamarket: I wondered why nefario asked what does
the red button do
the other day :P
BTC-Mining: And will have
to get Pirate's identity
through
them.
RogueAI: my guess is
they are in
the public information gathering stage
BTC-Mining: They probably starting
to have a bigger picture of what happened and info about
the passthrough issuers.
RogueAI: we know
that from
the post-Madoff review
BTC-Mining: Odd... maybe
they're so slow
they haven't even yet figured who
this "Pirateat40" is.
dub: pirate says
the SEC havent contacted him
boonies4u: this could be a good chance
to buy stocks from panic sellers
BTC-Mining: I would easily see
this happening: after
the weekend, Nefario comes back, looks at all
the
talks and would be something like: "What
the heck? I put a notice not
to panic! Look at
the shiny new v3!"
boonies4u: we need a live
ticker on
the number of hairs on nefario's head
boonies4u: then he could say it was just normal maintenance, and
that
they shouldn't have overreacted
boonies4u: is GLBSE v3
the one with actually functioning blue,white,pink, and black markets?
BTC-Mining: or he screwed
the rolling out of GLBSE v.3 and he's now in panic mode
trying
to make it work.
RogueAI: there has been no official reasoning, just
that park page. boonies4u
BTC-Mining: You would have
to be a very lousy and lazy
thief
to go away with just GLBSE's wallet.
RogueAI: that's
to be expected, on a USD exchange
the exchange doesn't horde
the funds
boonies4u: ok, so no one knows why
the page was put up?
BTC-Mining: I hardly see it profitable
to just steal
that even if it's a good few
thousands BTC over going long
term with GLBSE seriously.
BTC-Mining: So
there's far from
the whole assets' value at any
time in GLBSE's wallet.
BTC-Mining: The
thing with GLBSE compared
to
trading platforms is
that most put funds, buy some stocks, and
the ops spends it outside GLBSE.
RogueAI: there was
time between
the
two actions
boonies4u: so he delisted goat and shut down
the site?
RogueAI: noagendamarket,
the scary
thing is
that Nefario has used better systems in
the past. So it appears from
the outside
that he was looking
to hose over Goat.
RogueAI: I bet
that makes you guys feel all warm and fuzzy, I R GR8 @ PR
RogueAI: then
took
the site down with
this as
the lead sentence on
the parked page "For
those worried about
their bitcoin, please calm yourselves
there has been no hack and your coins are safe and all accounted for."
RogueAI: delisted something in a
terrible fashion
RogueAI: "How
to ruin a business in minutes"
RogueAI: he should write a book
to fund
the PR position
boonies4u: here's
to hoping glbse comes back up
BTC-Mining: Then we can claim/transact with
the OP
through signing with said BTC address/receiving payments
there.
RogueAI: with
the signed document as source
BTC-Mining: Nefario should provide a way
to submit a BTC address
to be given
to OPs
RogueAI: so if any scammers or
trolls confront, you can link
to
the
transactions
RogueAI: if it's a list, it needs
to be a signed list of bitcoin addresses linked
to holdings
BTC-Mining: I
think I'll own a large portion of every assets.
boonies4u: nefario could
turn back around and damage control could go quite smoothly
BTC-Mining: It was
the largest pool of funds for
the large ASIC rigs.
BTC-Mining: It had a loan with one of
the large serious miner, with an agreement for
that hashing paying
the dividends
to be repurchased back at 100%
noagendamarket: Its funny
that BTC-Mining had value because it didnt actually own hardware yet lol
drekk: why seems everybody
to be so anti-cryptostocks? besides
the fact i've only found
two assets
that i'd out money in
BTC-Mining: He can return
them, but without a list of BTC-MINING holders, I cannot return anything.
BTC-Mining: and Amazingrando from Bitbond has
those funds loaned
to.
BTC-Mining: The problem is
that 20000 USD + about ~10000 USD of my 18k was in BTC-MINING
