Bugpowder: silghtly annoying that I can't have 2 ips linked to my credits though.
Bugpowder: he was like... I can't buy into the stock market yet
pigeons: in the case of orders backed by credit, those are acutally backed by credit, unbacked orders don't contribute less to distortion just because margin exist
mircea_popescu: which is quite possibly "never", so why shouldn't they have their fun ?
mircea_popescu: and people don't get to put things in the book that aren't credit-worthy and leverage-able over their eyes.
pigeons: why doesn't mpex allow asset issuers and the exchange to present a deliberately false picture of asset demand by allowing a user to bid up to his total balance for eash mpsic?

mircea_popescu: i don't think the minions (taaki, vlad, whatgever) are in with anyone particularly.
mircea_popescu: basically, traders make money, sec doesn't agree they may keep it, money is frozen.
mircea_popescu: "The emergency court order freezes assets in a trading firm based in Zurich, Switzerland. The SEC said the freeze guarantees that potentially illegal profits can't be taken out of the account while its investigation continues."
DeadWeasel: dammit. I just wanted to get them into my secure wallet, but I can't even get them there.
Ukto: "I won't trust my grandma with 1 bitcoin, what makes you think I will trust you with any dollars?"
Ukto: ever had someone tell you "Don't worry" and ever be wrong?
mircea_popescu: but anyway, the girls in the pic with a switch mark on their butt weren't being punished at the time
mircea_popescu: actually it wasn't, but that aside
mircea_popescu: i ain't watchin' no poliseries :D
mircea_popescu: i don't recall him being involved
mircea_popescu: moreover why would he run ? i don't know he had any outstanding obligations
mircea_popescu: ugh. i don't even remember. it's so long
Namworld: He hasn't shown up anywhere apparently
Namworld: I don't know. I haven't kept track of anything B.BBVPS related
Namworld: But seriously, don't they keep only people with 5k+ shares tho?
Namworld: It makes me sad I didn't buy more of those.
mircea_popescu: i don't think much of the off-the-cuff asic manufacturers,
mircea_popescu: i do not say "don't ask me questions related to that"
deadweasel: that plus here zombie brother on chains, ain't no thang!
deadweasel: too much loss. IRC don't mind though. nice old school protocol.
deadweasel: can't even get the new walking dead
deadweasel: i have one of their t-shirts, but I got from goodwill, so I don't know.
deadweasel: I didn't know if silver crashed or btc just high enough

assbot: I don't know those people, and they don't look very friendly.
midnightmagic: Diablo-D3: Hey, I can't find it now: where was the original offer to shareholders to be able to trade-in 200 (or so) shares for their future boards?
DeadWeasel: Bowjob: don't sell, you'll make more by holding
Bowjob: I told them its stupidly easy to get it.. and initially I didn't want to hold their coins
Bowjob: I agreed but only to 150 bucks worth.. I don't want them crying when their coins become worth shit
Bowjob: they want to invest in BTC but they can't be bothered to learn how it woks, ect
Bowjob: so guys, am I evil if I'm gonna hold other people's funds for 10% in BTC since they can't figure the wallet out?
mircea_popescu: i don't recall this particular one, but yes btc accounting is the better way.
BitHub: a p.t
mircea_popescu: of course current rate of return won't last, but what ever lasts.
mircea_popescu: so... maybe some people didn't claim them, and so i guess they may revert to bitfountain
BitHub: cost in the mid-term won't be so big that we have to sell them low.
mircea_popescu: they may have ended up with some leftovers since glbse exploded and maybe some people didn't claim
mircea_popescu: but they can't sell those ?
thestringpuller: shouldn't you be doing something useful mr. popescu
thestringpuller: I can't believe .04btc is a 1 USD now
jurov: i don't have them anymore, no "wants" there.
Namworld: But we don't have money aside for that either. Would take a good chunk.
Namworld: I'm not broke personally, but making a buyback at ~0.003 for all circulating shares, I can't do that right now.
jurov: can't you just hire a $10 writer from freelancer to make a statement... oh you're broke i forgot
jurov: cuz i just can't understand why you're so lewd in communicating with shareholders
Namworld: MPEx has no method to send announcement. Plus I'm here almost everyday. I think you know that by now. I haven't seen you asking before, although I see you here almost daily too =/
jurov: Okay. Now, why this isn't announced in condensed form I can get an URL of, instead i have to collect this information from btctalk and irc?
jurov: why don't you sell on btct then?
Namworld: The others are broke. And I can't afford to buyback either.
jurov: not very good outlook for bitvps if you can;t agree on such simpel thing
jurov: so you three or four can't even decide on buyback price and just place mpex order?
Namworld: I can't make decisions for everyone, I'm not alone in this.
Namworld: I wouldn't liquidate at market price, we're moving to BTCT.co and we might just buyback shares
jurov: seems tomorrow at this time i'll be liquidating my client's holdings by selling at mkt price, you can't offer more?
mircea_popescu: it's like a hundred or w/e. you don't need a lawyer like on retainer in any case
mircea_popescu: if the cost of registering a llc is an issue then you shouldn't make one
mircea_popescu: without money you don't need a llc anyway
BitHub: tho, it couldn't hurt
mircea_popescu: ok that makes me half sorry i didn't see it.
mircea_popescu: it wasn't in my feed
Lyspooner: and it looks like he doesn't have a leg to stand on
Lyspooner: don't know if you saw the news mircea_popescu, but that legless man shot his hot girlfriend in the face this morning and killed her
Lyspooner: redditors don't have that kind of dough
mircea_popescu: "I went through the shoutbox archives and it turns out that engineer has been trying to figure out how their boundary scan tester works unsuccessfully for 3 straight days now. You kinda need that thing to figure out if the chips work correctly and if they don't why they don't work correctly."
mjr_: because he was alone and couldn't touch anyone, or eat anything, classic greek god punishment
mjr_: doesn't have to be btc
mircea_popescu: a "market" doesn't have to mean what you think it means.
mjr_: unless that "value" is activated through a market, it doesn't matter
mircea_popescu: no, im just sayingthat the value of my resources isn't a function of what i do or not do.
mircea_popescu: what, you think people don't wolfwhistle the girl who wants to be a nun ?
mjr_: my point is that money that can't/won't be spent is worthless
mircea_popescu: the use of your dollars is not a function of what you do or don't do.
mjr_: i can't eat
mircea_popescu: it wasn't at all impossible to price anything, even tho gold liquidity was 0
mjr_: ie. what price is someone willing to pay, i don't know because i am not willing to sell *at any price*
mjr_: ie. if japan hoarded yen, we couldn't buy there shit
mjr_: if you don't, you cease trade
mircea_popescu: you could, you just don't want to.
mjr_: ok, to me btc doesn't exist
mjr_: i can't buy from you using btc, i can't sell to you for btc
mircea_popescu: gersham's law still hasn't been repealed.
mjr_: many (most) don't have as many as you
Lyspooner: mircea_popescu yes, i agree. people should strive to get 1000 BTC if they don't have it already
mjr_: fuck, you can't even get by in the world using only the dollar
mjr_: again, you can't buy a new car, pay loans etc with btc
mjr_: but i don't think it will be that quick
