smickles: it's like it doesn't expect to sell all of them
Namworld: We have to buy servers, we don't want to keep renting them. So we might not be able to do a buyback right away.
Namworld: All I can say for now is that I don't personally intend to drop shareholders and rg asked us to keep everyone.

assbot: Shit. You ain't even old enough to smoke.
assbot: It's so strange that you don't remember any of your poetry.
OgNasty: I don't have the answer to that question.
mircea_popescu: why can't you ?
pigeons: the buyers and the sellers aren't too close on that S.BVPS
dub: I guess one problem is that people who trust rg don't know that they now need to trust other people
pigeons: you're right, you don't give away your key, you work something out
jurov: one doesn't just give gpg key to others
jurov: lol he couldn't do such in bitvps
Rassah: So couldn't say hi earlier
pigeons: today i'm watching videos. i don't do it often

jurov: in just got idea... saw some people advertising their forum, can't remember
smickles: jurov: well, i wasn't making the distinction there, maybe out of my own ignorrance, but i saw a statement by piuk that those blockchian messags are in txns via OP_DROP
jcpham: however this doesn't prove an identity or ownership
smickles: http://polimedia.us/btcf/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17
jcpham: the plaintiff will need to prove ownership. i don't see where that has been performed yet.
smickles: i don't think the message could be added after the fact, it's in the tx afaik, however, the tx with the message was made on this past 17th, and isn't the 130 btc in question
mircea_popescu: so this isn't actually proof is it
jcpham: If bitcointalk wasn't such a toxic waste dump I'd suggest someone curate this information ina thread

Korbman: that's what I presumed, but I wasn't sure the exact amount of data consumed per, say, 1GH/s
Korbman: So the reality is, even at a TH/s bandwidth shouldn't be an issue?
mircea_popescu: topace_ now multiply that 1.5 mbps with 100 because 2.5th won't be too rare by the time blocks are 1gb

mircea_popescu: i don't want some idiots counting my page turns.
pigeons: ok i don't know is going on with the demand for this dice
pigeons: i don't know what's going on with this dice price
mircea_popescu: then again... maybe person isn't into leverage
mircea_popescu: these aren't people who found jobs.
assbot: Um, shouldn't you be with your own tribe or somethin'?
assbot: I don't give a shit who saw what and who did what or who did who.
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 i dunno either way. i still don't really comprehend what they did.
mircea_popescu: when you have 15bn you don't have that money.
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder to this day i didn't understand what microstrategy was making.

Bugpowder: CSV isn't hiding much
mircea_popescu: i don't pick girls by the criterion "largest tit most exposed"
mircea_popescu: i don't think he's the big bad either.
smickles: nyRednek: mpbor isn't really a bond tho
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone actually has the resources to do asics. people like to dream, and then they sometimes get confused.
mircea_popescu: i don't think it was started as a scam. just, no skills.
mircea_popescu: look at me ma, i'm on an obscure start-up site! it won't go anywhere!
mircea_popescu: so basically... "we don't know, and don't wanna talk about it"
thestringpuller: Each of Balanced.s customers is a potential Bitcoin merchant. Zaarly is using Balanced to provide payments handling for its peer-to-peer task market. Instead of Zaarly having to build its own, it can used Balanced.s API. With Bitcoin there is a little different flow. You can.t pull funds from a Bitcoin user. Bitcoin is push only. But Balanced also handles the payout component. And that is a push transaction. Bal
mircea_popescu: i wasn't even ;/
thestringpuller: 20:47 < ajsharp> i can't tell if you're trolling or not
thestringpuller: jcpham: Dwolla's code isn't this bad http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5026802
dub: turns out bitcoiners don't spend money (because mom doesn't give them enough)
iz: nyRednek: can't hunt the animals that aren't there because they've already been over hunted
mircea_popescu: now, understandably the political decision was made that this wouldn't be acceptable. but this is a purely internal affair of the us. i can sorta see why they thought this too :
mircea_popescu: i don't see how. donner party patent method maybe ?
mircea_popescu: but the world economy couldn't care less.
mircea_popescu: ok. that doesn't translate to what you said
mircea_popescu: i don't think so.
mircea_popescu: the two aren't distinct really.
iz: i thought they just said we don't owe anything
iz: if a country wants to say "we fucked up, but we aren't going to pay our debts.. everyone else just absorb those costs and we're going to start over.. like country bankruptcy
mircea_popescu: because there isn't.
iz: i don't understand why you say there isn't a "too much"
iz: if the biggest country tries to do this, they rest of they can't absorb that much loss that quickly
mircea_popescu: welfare does not work, what we were trying to build doesn't work
mircea_popescu: i can see why they tried, at the time, and why they couldn't stop, after they tried.
mircea_popescu: and people didn;t want to argue with them for the obvious reason of publicity.
iz: because they weren't in the top 3-4, they can do that and everyone else just absorbs the costs
mircea_popescu: this incidentally is exactly why i wouldn't buy the whole us for five bitcoins right now : pretty much made up entirely of this sort of stupid.
mircea_popescu: but i am kinda amused at the newb krugerite coming here and giving me advice about mpex and then getting offended when i don't happen to share his ignorance of economy.
iz: mircea_popescu: yeah, cuz the germans use metric and the us doesn't :b
iz: mircea_popescu: great, maybe finally we won't be too big to fail
