pankkake: I don'
t understand why people don'
t get PMBs. it can be summed by "buying mining hardware but not operating it yourself"
furuknap: I think it's quite possible to make money on them; in fact, if I hadn'
t gotten today's vote, I would have listed privately with a form of guarantee. I may still, haven'
t decided, offer that guarantee.
furuknap: You may have misunderstood something. I don'
t think PMBs are shit. I have never intended to write anything to that effect either.
FabianB_: naemsi: i guess the counterparty on mpex shouldn'
t be a problem
mod6: the nasty mining (i don'
t really follow the miner orgs as much)
ThickAsThieves: MPEX - Despite the fact that the security never actually stole or scammed members the owner Mircea Popescu is a disgusting person that uses the term "nigger" on his blog while also constantly putting people down and generally being a complete snob. Lied multiple times about being the owner of a successful company, if it wasn'

t there yet.
deadweasel: i have seen a good-faith effort on your part to pay people back. can'
t fault for you for that, of course I rarely fault people for anything.
deadweasel: sounds reasonable, but I don'
t know the story, nor do I want to. if that's all you want, then let your debtors know and then withdraw. if they want payment they know where to find you, no?
usagi: I need my money back and if I don'
t do something about this im not only not going to get it
aknap3: poor usagi -- when someone's injured that badly, you don'

mircea_popescu: Chris Vleisides is reportedly Sonny Vleisides’ stepfather, but we were unable to confirm this with BFL and neither Vleisides responded to repeated requests for interviews. Ghosieri told Ars that the two Vleisides "aren'

t going anywhere after this year
ThickAsThieves: "I think TAT, that you're advocating eternal vigilance and complete due diligence on the part of investors and I believe this position is one of fantasy. I don'
t believe it's reasonable to expect that of anyone unless they make it a full time occupation. This is why organized trust rating services are valuable."

t think gamblers care either
deadweasel: i hope not, nice setup. it doesn'
t bleed my eyes.
furuknap: And I won'
t be blogging that :-)
furuknap: Because if someone can accomplish something they haven'
t, they still have a chance and thus don'
t have to do anything right now.
furuknap: My point is, they don'
t worship star A or star B, they worship aspiration. They crave someone to be more than they are so they can feel the have the ability to accomplish something.
furuknap: You don'
t have to agree with me, TAT, but if you don'
t I'll just depose you and put some puppet in who agres with me.

t keep their nick very long
mircea_popescu: "i don'

ThickAsThieves: 2. Don'
t miss out on the next big thing, you'll feel sad if you do.
ThickAsThieves: well how is the price supposed to rise if we don'
t buy up these ask walls?
ThickAsThieves: "Anyone anticipating a price correction on ASICMINER today with speculators snacking up AMC shares like hotcakes on BitFunder and BTC-TC? I have to admit I moved a bit that way, I don'
t want to miss out the next chance to get in early on something potentially big. Might be a nice day to sell some G-ASICMINER PUT's on BitFunder"
deadweasel: ah well, as long as teh check doesn'
t bounce.
