BTC-Mining: 3460 USD loaned
through BTC-BOND + ~20000 USD
through BTC-MINING I'll need
the list of holders
to return anything back.
boonies4u: I hope it comes back online... or i'm gonna have
to buy an FPGA
BTC-Mining: Considering I started with 7000 USD/900 BTC and ended up with 18000 USD/1500 BTC in value, I'd say
trading was good until GLBSE went offline.
drekk: i
think mpex is actually pretty interesting. i dont care about
the domain, porn and alleged child pr0n. but
the fee spoils it for me atm
BTC-Mining: Eh, I had ~18000 USD in assets on GLBSE + 3460 USD loaned
through BTC-BOND + ~20000 USD
through BTC-MINING
noagendamarket: or sitting on
top of a skyscraper and
thrpowing $5 notes off it
noagendamarket: bitcoin investing is closely related
to flushung
the
toilet
noagendamarket: for one
thing you can buy shares in
the exchange itself lol
drekk: if you're looking for interests,
then of course. dividends != interests. ppl often confuse
them
BTC-Mining: Paid far less in interests
than any funds/securities.
dakid: how long does it
take
to get verified
these days on mtgox? anyone know
drekk: otherwise it sounds like a fun hobby if you have
the
time at your hands
BTC-Mining: Managing a fund seems like
the worst idea you could make.
BTC-Mining: And a single big loss impacts everyone
to
top it.
BTC-Mining: Most funds were lower
than
that, around 200-500 BTC
tho.
BTC-Mining: Do you really have any incentive
to be
there most of
the day
to manage and quickly move positions?
BTC-Mining: You get 5%-10% of
the 1-2% investments get weekly (For 1000 BTC,
that's around $5-20 per week)
BTC-Mining: I never created a fund for
that reason.
BTC-Mining: I
think it's mostly people invested in his funds and not happy about
the fact usagi chose some investments which were losing investments.
drekk: might be, i don't
think
the amount of
trolls in a
thread is a good indicator,
tho. especially with usagi it looks
to me as if personal/emotional reason were involved
BTC-Mining: Aye, but
the
thing is,
those who
took
the
time
to make everything clear and answer everything promptly pretty much don't have
those "trolls" in
their
threads, oddly.
drekk: depends on your ressources. and quality of
the
trolls. if you find yourself answering questions all day instead of doing business, you've got a problem
BTC-Mining: Answer everything until people can only come up with statements so crazy it would make
them look bad
to bring
them forward. You'd often realize "trolls" were actually more
the paranoid
type
than
trolls and eventually are satisfied.
BTC-Mining: Lack of communication? I've seen
tons of deposit
takers dismissing legit questions as
trolls and critics as
trolls. Even completly valid points. If
they were
trolls, well
they succeeded, you couldn't even counter-argue.
BTC-Mining: In
the meanwhile... let's wait for Saturday.
drekk: seems
to be
the prob with most assets i've seen on
the forum: lack of communication skills
BTC-Mining: I say
the same about Mircea or Diablo-D3.
BTC-Mining: Like I
told him once, I believe he is a great developer, but decision wise, he's not good at PR.
noagendamarket: I dont
think nefario is dishonest in any way. Just poor decision making.
drekk: ok. not gonna argue over
that
drekk: then phrase it
that way or add
to
the FUD
drekk: Smoovious, well... so did you presenting
the "moving servers"
theory as a fact :P
dub: just look at
the website
dub: well we already know
that
RogueAI: sure, but I don't
think "they are massively incompetent" is much better reasoning
than any other
BTC-Mining: As far as I know, nefario already has a place
to live.
RogueAI: which just doesn't match up with
their ability
to use a computer
RogueAI: well it means
they are almost braindead when it comes
to writing
temporary placeholder
text
noagendamarket: the fact hes not in contact with
the other major shareholders isnt good.
RogueAI: Smoovius: "We are updating" "We are moving servers" How hard is
that
to
type?
BTC-Mining: Not a coincidence. Just someone also in
the UK
trying
to pass as nefario. Or he just forgot
to obfuscate
that before coming here
to see how people were going.
RogueAI: you
think if it was an update or move
they could just say so
drekk: Smoovious, last
time i checked
that was just one of many rumors being spread
BTC-Mining: Just coming from
the same ISP as Nefario
drekk: did
the closedown of glbse have any significant impact on mpex
trading volume (yet)?
gribble: Error: In order
to authenticate, you must be present in one of
the following channels: #bitcoin-otc;#bitcoin-otc-foyer;#bitcoin-otc-ru;#bitcoin-otc-eu
drekk: TIL: "cockjuggling
thundercunts" -- i'll just leave
this here
jurov: Looks like it is necessary
to assure everyone
that
the 30BTC fee for new MPEx accounts has no effect on coinbr users, current or future ones.
dub: nefario is busy being waterboarded, he'll get back
to you shortly
RogueAI: even given
the website
text? usually
there is at least one op idling in
that channel (at least
there used
to be)
RogueAI: no ops in #glbse,
that's a bit ominous
rg: i bet
they wouldve been way more successful
rg: if
they worked on
their script
Ignatius-otc: I have never gotten such a call...I will prepare a win virtual machine full of scat porn for
the occasion
dub: yeah
that shit is OLD
dub: PsychoticBoy: jesus man,
that brings back some memories
Ignatius-otc: that
track is win around
the 2:00 mark "ladies and gentlemen its
time for us
to present
to you something strong"
dakid: excuse me, i
think some one sat on
their drum machine :-P
rg: and i bang bang bang do whatever
the same
rg: you put
the boom boom into my brain
rg: i wanna hit
that hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighh yea yea yea
rg: and
take me dancin
tonight
Doffx: I'm not sure where I said anything bad about
them.
dakid: rg:
the SEC/FSA already knows about
that crack house
rg: you are making fun of
two of my friends
rg: what's
that supposed
to mean
Doffx: He looks like
the
type of guy
that would hang out with mircea_popescu
rg: that's like calling
the cops and asking
them if
they know about a crack house
rg: i would not recommend
that
PeanutPower: i bet
they wouldn't recognise it as a real entity
dakid: i wonder if anyones
tried
twittering/calling
the FSA and asking about GLBSE
PeanutPower: i
think most people don't consider btc a genuine currency if you read
the popular press
dakid: GoonyGooGoo: hahaha,
then
they'll come after
the evil bitcoiners for
taking advantage of little kids
GoonyGooGoo: Perhaps we need
to lauch our BTC securities on neopets.com
PeanutPower: when you invest neopoints on
the neopets site do you need
to be an accredited investor ?
dakid: i never
thought glbse was a 100% legal, i just assumed it was in
the grey area of
the law or was based out of a place without such regulations
copumpkin: and I'm guessing
that most bitcoiners don't qualify :)
copumpkin: if
they're making public offerings,
they need
to follow regulations, and if not,
they need
to be
talking only
to accredited investors
