usagi: Seriously
though, how does
this make mircea a scammer?
usagi: You are in big
trouble!
Luceo: Permission not
to care >_<
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: and
then donate it all
to
the church :P
Azelphur: Luceo:
there was a guy who was messaging me
the other day he made a forum, he keeps spamming everywhere with it, and he made luke a mod
usagi: Maybe you should hold off on
the scammer accusations
Azelphur: Luceo:
the people who run it really make a forum what it is, have a set of clearly laid out guidelines
usagi: And you're new here
too, aren't you? I mean you just came here last month?
usagi: for next
to no reason
mircea_popescu: no conditions
to be able
to joi, but instaban for being dumb.
usagi: Ciuciu no offense but psy is a
troll
Azelphur: there was one guy who was
thinking of doing it, but it seems a bit, well...terrible
Azelphur: re
the forum, has anyone
thought about forking it?
dub: ciuciu: which only serves
to make you look kinda retarded yourself
Azelphur: but it's still performing exactly as
they said it was
BTC-Mining: I
think a mining operation is sufficient.
Azelphur: it's weird all
the hype has died down
Azelphur: it's just kinda quietly
ticking over really
mircea_popescu: ya, how;s
that going ? haven't seen
the other s guy in a while
smickles: and i'm glad
to have your confidence Azelphur
Azelphur: smickles: and like 1/4 of
that is mine, haha
smickles: ciuciu: what a coincidence, i
too manage over 1000btc of others
smickles: mircea_popescu: yup,
those people
mircea_popescu: it wasn't easy nor cheap, but in
the end worth it. nevertheless, i
tell you, litigations of
the nature discussed here are rarely worth it.
Azelphur: haha, my aunt just phones up and shouts at people and cites
the multiple ways in which she's going
to sue
them until she gets her way
mircea_popescu: well, honestly, i sued
the romanian interior ministry and forced
them
to friggin change
the laws
mircea_popescu: o wait, were
those your
tenants
that ruined your place smickles ?
Azelphur: Luceo: I have an aunt called Sue, we generally say it's a description rather
than a name :P
smickles: Luceo: lucky you. I, otoh, had
to deal with
the scum of
the earth
mircea_popescu: actually i read but don't recall where
that
the MAJORITY of suits don't make more money
than
the cost
to sue.
mircea_popescu: if you manage
to get away
that's like 1k an hour sort of rates.
Luceo: I don't
think validating who anyone is means anything, yeah I can sue him but likely my volume isn't going
to be enough
to justify it
Luceo: mircea_popescu:
That.
mircea_popescu: i can sue anyone and everyone. in general once you reach
this point you realise how darn few people / corps its worth your
time
to sue.
smickles: geez, i'm in NC and had
to sue someone in MO
Luceo: Suing over Bitcoins is
totally untested in courts
Luceo: Who am I more likely
to be able
to sue? :P
Luceo: I can drive
to Romania, Canada is ~$1400 flights
BTC-Mining: People
tend
to be fond of
their reputation
Luceo: Why does
that mean anything? o.O
mircea_popescu: irl banking & finance has > 500 years of history,
to
this day it's not reached
this pinnacle of grandeur where you self-ipo.
mircea_popescu: there's no fixing
that. so you verify a name and an address. so ?
smickles: it seems
to have 'all worked out in
the end'
BTC-Mining: Like actually mailing
the claimed address
mircea_popescu: the entire notion of allowing anyone
to selfserve ipo is sordid.
smickles: mircea_popescu: yeah,
the 'riot' was just because of
the way nefario presented
things
BTC-Mining: Seems it would be hard
to fake GLBSE verification if extra steps were
taken
smickles: ciuciu: i post my own garbage on glbse,
thank you
smickles: mircea_popescu: wasn't paraipan
the guy who filed a police report on sombody?
mircea_popescu: his entire issue is
that
the girl pointed out
that his bond's name, aka ciuciu
smickles: ciuciu: why would he run with
the money, rather
than continue operating a successful operation?
mircea_popescu: right. anonymous dude with scammy glbsse assets (pardon
the pleonasm) is asking for my id.
smickles: mircea_popescu: i would assume he means a form of id which is made of plastic and 'issued
to you'
Luceo: Quite probably, but a lot worse
to get caught with pot
than hay :P
mircea_popescu: Luceo just saying, on
the face of
things prolly cheaper
to feed horses pot
than hay.
Luceo: mircea_popescu: Blame
the government :(
smickles: mircea_popescu:
this ciuciu person want's your id
BTC-Mining: I suppose
then not knowing who you're dealing with can be acceptable, and knowing is a small bonus
Luceo: BTC-Mining:
Take SR
traders for example,
they may not wish
to be known :P
Luceo: BTC-Mining: Sure, but a lot of non-scammers don't want
to be known either
smickles: ciuciu: you really
think an id would help anything?
BTC-Mining: Luceo, most scammers don't want
to be known, even if
they steal only small amounts
mircea_popescu: now
that franceitalyspainportugalirelandetc went bust.
mircea_popescu: but srsly!
the reason i publish mpoe/mpex monthly in romanian is exactly
that, get people
to see
that yes, romania is like
the 3rd economy of
the eu
usagi: You said something about romanian scammers and said ban
the whole c-class lol
mircea_popescu: so
they end up making fools of
themselves on
teh interwebz.
tsukino: I dont
think its fair
that you insinuated
that romanians were scammers esp. since you are romanian
mircea_popescu: tsukino yes
they are! in general
they're clever and daring sorts, except
the kids are insufficiently
trained
Luceo: Maybe
there's more potential recompense for validated people, nbut with
the volume of most BTC
transactions you're not going
to go and sue anyone if
they go shits up
tsukino: By
the way romanian people are very cool. A romanian physicist worked with my father
to develop
the world's first nuclear battery
Luceo: People are
trustworthy based on joint connections, history etc
Luceo: I don't care about anonymity, I don't
think anyone is more
trustworthy because I know
their name or what
they look like
Luceo: smickles: Property is essential
to a free society :P
Luceo: Even if I know someone's real name, I'm not going
to
travel half
the world
to sue someone for $1k or something
mircea_popescu: and when you show up she looks all confused and says wel... she
thought it was you ?
smickles: Luceo: out of curiosity, what are your
thoughts on property?
mircea_popescu: Luceo what if you find your gf banging
two big niggers
tsukino: They would have faired better
to hire me as an arbitrator
mircea_popescu: aha! is it
THE cartmell
tsukino ? i was saying earlier...
tsukino: Hahahahahaha cartmell is on
the case
theyre fucked
Luceo: Having said
that,
the Romanian ones aren't bad either :D
