thestringpuller: i don't trust icbit based on your affidavit
Namjies: so I didn't read the statement as saying Bitcoin was a Ponzi.
Namjies: and I don't rely on someone criticizing something as a Ponzi to be a proof it is...
jurov: Namjies, yeah, but i wouldn't rely on that in election campaign, for example :p
jurov: id doesn't proves, just implies
Namjies: Perfectly valid usage, yet it doesn't prove what you criticize is true.
smickles: I don't quite se how that doesn't imply it is a ponzi
smickles: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127096.0 Oh, by the way, i'm suprised i wasn't mentioned here, and mircea_popescu was edited out
smickles: isn't that part of the point in haveing it removed?
smickles: heh, they don't usually give the names of people saying baseless things
smickles: and don't link to a source saying that people say it has been accused of being a ponzi
Namjies: That section didn't state if that was right or no, just that some people claimed so.
smickles: i mean, s2cm wasn't all that big, but ibb was tiny
Namjies: I don't usually inquire about services I don't need.
mircea_popescu: anyway, when i said "buy ryals" i didn't mean get some banknotes (i'm not even sure i could have)
mircea_popescu: then...they...don't...offer...the...service
jurov: "beside the point" i mean they don't even mention bank wires or like
mircea_popescu: Namjies if you don't you have no business offering this service.
smickles: don't you just ask the bank to exchane it?
mircea_popescu: you don't wire funds from your usd to your cad account.
smickles: heh, i don't know anything :o
mircea_popescu: Namjies : what do youi mean what ? you can't be out of fiat. if you have one you have any.
Namjies: It wouldn't take me 5 seconds.
mircea_popescu: i'll tell you so what. how can't they not ?
Namjies: So they don't currently have enough CAD. So what?
Namjies: Hmm... I can't wait to organize a freeroll on Seals.
Namjies: I'm sure many won't see that.
mircea_popescu: Thank you for your help to test the game. Withdraw your funds plz and PM me with found bugs. If some bitcoins wasn't deposited then PM me with your tx id.
smickles: usagi: it's not a clear case at all, because nefario could claim all sorts of things that eb can't disprove
smickles: suppose eb wasn't sent a double payment, and nef said he was
smickles: he can't actually
smickles: if he filed a claim, and then didn't return a double payment, nef would withold his data from the issuers
Namjies: Doesn't mean there was false claims.
mircea_popescu: smickles short puts don't balance long calls
smickles: yeah, the one who doesn't lose until about 9.50 usd/btc, good call ;)
mircea_popescu: well i don't think the game actually works correctly
smickles: kakobrekla: you don't think SD is profitable?
Namjies: I can't play this.
Namjies: I don't see them biting each others tho.
mircea_popescu: smickles i haven't.
mircea_popescu: heh i guess i didn't get that one.
Namjies: Ah, well maybe others didn't have as much luck as me.
Namjies: That doesn't sound like a mail order...
Namjies: I don't see how you can infer it must have been purchased...
mircea_popescu: can't argue with you there, he has a hefty history of doing stupid shit to compensate for other stupid shit
Namjies: I'm almost certain he didn't buy his wife.
Namjies: If he can't pay users without those double payments back tho, it harms the innocent users tho.
Namjies: Because you don't own the extra funds?
Namjies: Many didn't
dub: you didn't use a clean wallet?
smickles: I haven't received the s²cm btceither
smickles: i haven't gotten lists for s²cm or mpoe etf yet :(
smickles: or even if it does't have funds at it too
smickles: and peeps wouldn't have recourse
jurov: wasn't email required to glbse registration?
gigavps: can't wait till people start to make claims and aren't on the list
jurov: and python rss reader that updates it also, i don't trust twatter for this
smickles: jurov: I'd have to setup a script to monitor things, I've only been noticing the large orders and haven't done an exact calculation. But it would be limited by the fact that it would be difficult to distinguish mircea_popescu's bot, from other's adding liquidity
smickles: jurov: oh? yeah, not that I have a good grasp on the situation (i've just casually paid attention), but so long as the exchange rate doesn't go above 13.3 (or something like that) mpoe should have a good dividend. but i could be entirely wrong :D
gribble: Error: Something in there wasn't a valid number.
jurov: moving to that exchange level doesn't really solve that. the exchanges must trust each other anyway
mircea_popescu: esp if he can't write code.
jurov: hehe... no reason to. Unless all articles were submitted by the same user, which isn't the case.
Azelphur: there isn't exactly that many assets
Azelphur: true, but at 3-4 a day you can't be too far down the list
smickles: and I don't understand the limit of 3-4 per day
smickles: too bad it didn't come much earlier
smickles: so i don't broadcast my password in the clear
Azelphur: I don't keep business accounts separate from personal, so that ain't gonna work :P
mircea_popescu: you don't just get pies in the face, you get pies in the ass too.
Namjies: Then it's shared. I don't remember what percentage of the profits the shares actually represent.
Namjies: Can't remember
Namjies: If shares don't start being traded between people/on an exchange again, I was kissing goodbye to over 1000 Asicminer shares
mod6: mircea_popescu: don't raise it before later tonight lol
mod6: i just haven't because i guess i didn't wanna step on my own toes.
mircea_popescu: mod6 very big deal. mpex doesn't read the internets.
jurov: hehe yes.. and don't let your gpg keys expire :P
mod6: i don't want to replace the gpg passphrase... im saying that the user can set a seperate passphrase to encrypt the unencrypted privatekey file on the filestore
mod6: its really getting close. i don't wanna let this damn keystore hold me back when I can just use something else.
mod6: jurov: hmm! i didn't know that. they really should be just to save a guy if his device gets stolen or hacked.
mod6: haha, see. its all good kakobreklaaa you don't need to worry.
jurov: i completely forgot i didn't rate you yet
Guest26114: i totally didn't even know I wasn't auth'd then boom
Guest26114: i re-auth'd with nickserv.. but i can't seem to /nick mod6 successfully
Ukto: I was looking back on GLBSE's pricing.. "Sell fee rate, paid by seller: 0.5%" && "Buy fee rate, paid by seller: 0.5%" Couldn't that have just be written as "1% Fee paid by seller on instant orders" ?
jurov: gigavps, i hope you don't rave prematurely
smickles: oh, and it's wikipedia, i don't expect the drama to be much better than that
smickles: oh lol, my install doesn't give me the open option /me just noticed
Namjies: Well... it wouldn't make a lot of sense for such advanced species to do such things.
Namjies: I don't see much logical reasons "aliens" would do most of what some people claim.
Namjies: Space Travel Guide: Did you know Muricans are naturally so round and fat you don't need any oil to cook them into fried meatballs?
mircea_popescu: is there anything that muppet hasn't done yet ?
mod6: vircurex didn't ever allow exchange of buttcoins i see
midnightmagic: I mean who knows, maybe MPOE doesn't even have transferrable shares.
mircea_popescu: the reason it's set up like this is exactly that i don't want to create this possibility where something's due but unenforceable.
mircea_popescu: well moreover nobody on mpex can sell more than 50% exactly because shares can't vote.
smickles: even if it did, mp isn't allowed to release more than 50%
thestringpuller: with mississipi we wouldn't have no morgan freeman
pigeons: louisiana ain't so bad. mississippi now...
mircea_popescu: afaik the acct hacking isn't a big deal. does anyone know ?
