ThickAsThieves: if it MUST be, it won'
t be for lack of me trying to avoid it
matthew_boyd: 0 ;) You don'
t know me, I don'
t know you, we'll see later, how about that?
matthew_boyd: You would have to go through the whole explanation to everyone which would be more hassle that it's worth to buy the
t-shirt!
matthew_boyd: Hahaha, I do think they are pretty good, seeing that you are a cat lover, I can see why you wouldn'
t snap one up immediately
matthew_boyd: Anyone else interested in the "Cat rich or fry trying"
t-shirts? :)
matthew_boyd: mircea_popescu: It isn'
t really a question of "if" I was nervous, seeing that this was my first every escrow, understandably. "how many" I would say around 30 percent of the sub-reddit which isn'
t the worst...
davout: he did fix a couple of things after i pwned it here and there, 10000x leverage wasn'
t really expected xD
davout: i don'
t really remember forum ncks, but i sorta recall this one
davout: who doesn'
t love the occasional asian young boy
pankkake: given that the guys who operate weexchange do not reply to support and can'
t handle some kind of passwords, no, it is already worse
davout: ThickAsThieves: i didn'
t mean it like that :S
Menoetius: only because i didin'
t buy any at IPO
furuknap: Sorry, I couldn'
t be bothered to scroll up a bit.
furuknap: <Stardust> but then people are so lazy asses.. <- Count me in! Where do I sign up for lazy people? Never mind, can'
t be bothered...
furuknap: Why can'
t it be both drama and madness?
Namworld: That's got to count for something, isn'
t it?
furuknap: To be honest, I don'
t understand half of what neither you nor they do, so my expectations are those of a pineapple. I expect to hang around for a while and then fall down and rot. Anything else is surprise to me.
mircea_popescu: <furuknap> Hey, that's a brilliant idea! I wonder why I even try to keep my operation honest... <<< you didn;'
t actually imagine the failtwins are up to anything actually useful.
Namworld: How wonderful. Don'
t forget to wear your brain condom when reading stupidity. You don'
t want to catch Brain Bitcointitis now, do you?
Stardust: i mean the continously pulling mecanism isn'
t relevant for the withdrawal process, it is as to enforcing
Stardust: why just don'
t record it at the user registration
davout: Stardust: if you don'
t have a wot wallet there's nothing to gain from a quick attack
Stardust: couldn'
t you arbitrarily control the taffic being sent to all these auditors ?
Stardust: but you don'
t play with any data yet, you just look at the network traffic to identify all the auditors
davout: compromise the database server behind it, maaaaybe one auditor, but you sure won'
t be able to hack into all of it at the same time before one of the components alerts you
mircea_popescu: davout for instance that you can'
t use websites for btc.
davout: what aren'
t they smart enough to figure out ? your model ? or how to copy it ?
mircea_popescu: "the problem is teh "bitcoin experts" aren'
t smart enough to figure it out"
mircea_popescu: you're going to "imagine we use gpg to sign transactions on the client side so even if the attacker gets your server there's jack shit he can do as he can'
t enter arbitrary txs" ?
davout: mircea_popescu: it's just software, it doesn'
t do magic, so if the devs decide to throw the table over there's only so much it can do
mircea_popescu: davout well how do you know my app isn'
t checking data
davout: mircea_popescu: it doesn'
t really help to run your code in both places since what your code does is it runs your app, it doesn'
t continuously check for someone fucking with your data
davout: mircea_popescu: no, the security boils down to "unless an attacker can simultaneously fuck with X auditors he can'
t do shit"
davout: it isn'
t finished anyway
mircea_popescu: 10 fucking years ago we didn'
t even see the outrageous humour in it
jcpham: i haven'
t been there in ages!
jcpham: ....can'
t put my finger on it
jcpham: i have a fever and can'
t word it properly
davout: people have so many misconceptions about the law and what it says and doesn'
t say
davout: the last one i got wasn'
t that well done
davout: i'm off, these funny captioned pictures don'
t just watch themselves
mircea_popescu: they didn'
t use to, on the grounds that maybe they're like bitcoin
mircea_popescu: the onl;y time they don'
t ask for your id when you're using dollars
mircea_popescu: heh. not list the locations. these people just won'
t fucking learn what open means already
pigeons: bitcollapse: then don'
t do it
davout: the various laws don'
t usually give the slightest shit about your privacy
davout: you obviously don'
t have the slightest clue of what you're talking about...
furuknap: I have no idea what you just said, which, I'm sure, is why I don'
t have an account on MPEx.
benkay: i don'
t gamble like you crazie
benkay: i have a bet coming due next monday. btc trading above 70. wasn'
t concerned at the time of bet, am slightly concerned now.
gribble: Error: Couldn'
t get RSS feed.
mircea_popescu: if i don'
t guarantee usage the provider won'
t open new boxes of gear for me.
davout: as in, we wouldn'
t have this debate
davout: if you paid the hosting fee monthly it wouldn'
t be an issue at all
davout: i don'
t know how exactly to express this, but i think that somehow you're trying to get accounting to do something it's not really supposed to
mircea_popescu: for a number of reasons. i just don'
t think they actually work.
davout: but how does your way of accounting change that? doesn'
t the server already exist ?
davout: anyway, like you said, it doesn'
t really matter that much
davout: the whole "it can'
t be taken as a one time charge" is relevant when you use expenses to reduce your net result as a way to reduce your taxes, i don'
t think it has much relevance in BTC-LAND
mircea_popescu: these btc can'
t be taken as a one time charge, as they reflect a multi-period thing
davout: the box is not yours, the service is, you can resell the service, but you don'
t usually amortise IT services like this (which is another way of saying it's horribly wrong)
benkay: at the end of amortization, you don'
t have a thing to sell for scrap value.
davout: so yeah, i don'
t really understand why you'd amortise something that you do not own
mircea_popescu: benkay yeah. because i don'
t want to be stuck with one year odl boxes.
davout: so then, why one year? i don'
t know with other countries but in france you usually amortise IT stuff on 3 years, the rest on 5 and buildings on 20
mircea_popescu: if its after a full period it can;'
t be reported in the respective period
davout: either you account for them on a monthly basis (which i've never seen, but this is BTC after all) or on a yearly basis, you seem to go for the former, so my question is "why don'
t you start accounting for an expense of 1/12th of the server value on month #1"
davout: why don'
t you start amortising (spellt that way) the server right away ?
davout: doesn'
t this somehow equate to the management not really acting in the shareholder's interest ?
davout: which is good, the contrary wouldn'
t have been right
davout: mircea_popescu: it doesn'
t have to be accounted for per-se, but the warrants list has to come with the financial statements, because as you said it is something that needs to be taken into account to get a full picture of the company
davout: i'm not sure of the nuance you're making here but if it's something saying that the shareholder can'
t simply knock on the door and get the nominal value of his share paid to him then i agree :-)
mircea_popescu: in the simplest translation of common law that even a napoleonic lout might get, they don'
t have tyhe right to THAT capital. just to something equivalent, as practicable.
mircea_popescu: that's nonsense, as the shareholders aren'
t owed any btc.
mircea_popescu: ya well, i can'
t make 12 columns as i don'
t want to turn my blog into an aicraft carrier
davout: mircea_popescu: don'
t you already pay someone for this ?
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think 500 page reports are actually useful in btc atm
thestringpuller: but fat chicks are kinda good in bed if they aren'
t too fat
davout: thestringpuller: i tell my friends i don'
t like fat chicks
davout: mircea_popescu: why don'
t you present the usual assets/liabilities balance sheet in addition to the cash flows and accounts list ?
