mircea_popescu: turbo_ac100_ better to explain what doesn'
t need to be explained
turbo_ac100_: mircea_popescu, Haha "How to process Bitcoin payments" actually sounds like you were writing for people you don'
t despise although you suggest they don'
t know what a salt is.
mircea_popescu: he can'
t automate it, he will have to mail it. himself.
jurov`: and he should be able to keep track of stuff so that he doesn'

t think Obama wants to add a "War on Journalism" to his repertoire.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic you can'
t really expect the guy to chase all over obscure forums to correct deliberate misrepresentation by interested parties. he made a statement, it's good enough.

t need to raise additional capital.
kleeck: I haven'
t done the math. But that's what his forum thread is saying.
Apocalyptic: yeah mircea, i don'
t believe he faked trading on those
kleeck: Surely looking at nearly 9million isn'
t a factor here.
iwilcox: Back when mcx opened people seemed to be treating it like "I don'
t need ASICs, got me another kind of money-printing machine!" — I suspect some think they have a foot in a door or something and won'
t sell
BigBitz: to me it read like he wanted to overhaul it and bring other people in... again - not exactly a glowing reference. His previous reigns didn'
t exactly pan out well...

t :)

t killed by anyone in BW empire so I was like...f no is he dying
