midnightmagic: Which given that most people don'
t grasp the nature of how anticompetitive what they're planning on doing is, is far more likely to happen.
midnightmagic: to starve them out as much as possible so they aren'
t able to mine as effectively.
midnightmagic: You make a device, if you didn'
t mine 12TH and then 50TH, it would have made x more profit. If you DO mine, with your customers' own money (which is in their business plan) you are reducing the value of those devices.
midnightmagic: Why would I? I'll send my money to people who don'
t cannibalize their customers' potential profit.
mircea_popescu: if they don'
t accept the offer that's still fine, obviously you didn'
t offer enough.
mircea_popescu: but on shareholder money... why can'
t they do what they please ?
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 can'
t say that i do. if they took preorder money and financed from that then yes
midnightmagic: And it's irrelevant that the shareholders are the ones financing the practice, that doesn'
t change a thing.
midnightmagic: I'd also like to point out that I'm one of the very few people who doesn'
t think you tried to do something naughty with usagi and that nefario freezing your shares was a dick move.
midnightmagic: Also, I'm not trolling you. Either you know something you aren'
t telling, or you don'
t. Either way it doesn'
t change what I'm going to do: all it changes is you're pretending to know something that's impossible to verify (show me da unicorn) or not.
midnightmagic: Say he did "copy" even the design of the asicminer, as you are implying. Why wouldn'
t I prefer to put my money with ngzhang when asicminer is going to mine against their own device customers, with the money their customers use to buy their devices?
midnightmagic: I don'
t see where ngzhang said he's using SMIC IP.
Obsi: there wasn'
t years ago
OneMiner: I had some right wing (they listen to Rush, yes that far right) folks who I had known my entire life say, "Yes, our marriage will be affected" but then they couldn'
t say one more word on HOW. Also they think CFL lightbulbs are a conspiracy and probably a ponzi.
OneMiner: Smoovious don'
t worry. It's the last of the old dumb people. When they die, it's all roses and backrubs from then on.
OneMiner: Religion must be driven from every corner of the gov'
t. It would be most excelent of us to take god off of the money (as Romney fears apparently).
OneMiner: You know, in Canada the catholic school board gets special gov'
t moneys. They have shot themselves in the foot. Soon Canadians will be shelling out for pastafarians and they will have gotten what they deserved for funding the catholics with public money in the first place.
OneMiner: If someone can'
t practice their religion, that's oppression. Is that what you were saying? I don'
t follow.
BTC-Mining: Your receipt can'
t help you check for who your vote was coutned
OneMiner: I'm not in favor of any voting machine that dosen'
t give out a receipt. Paper trail FTW!
OneMiner: It's a legal precedent, can'
t do anything about it unless you happen to be on the supreme court.
nefario: as long as they don'
t share it
BTC-Mining: It would actually be more lucrative to do it that way. Suppose you need 50$ to produce something, sell it 100$. You can run away with 100$ and not produce anything. Or offer an upgrade, get back the 50$ product, mine bitcoins with it. Keep the 50$ and ask for 100$ for an upgrade which doesn'
t exists. You now have a free FPGA mining farm +150$ + extra ASIC orders
BTC-Mining: There's a thread where BFL admits? Don'
t remember which
Bugpowder: I don'
t really care. They either ship or they don'
t ship.
mircea_popescu: i still don'
t see the connection between fraud and gambling.
kuzetsa: I simply don'
t use adobe audition because I find cool edit more useful
kuzetsa: adobe audition doesn'
t have any new features I find useful
kuzetsa: I just don'
t feel like burning any points on the adobe learning curve
mircea_popescu: doesn'
t work everywhere, but hey, good for productivity.
nefario: those arteries won'
t clog themselves
__Atlas__: I don'
t know how anyone speculates on GIGAMINING
Bugpowder: If only the buyer and the seller weren'
t so impatient they might save 5%
nefario: isn'
t this what we're trying to do with bitcoin>
nefario: if you've got no need for it then don'
t buy it
Obsi: He has some good reports, but I don'
t see how he put the money to use so quick
Obsi: Well I can'
t say 100% it is not a scam, I am not there in the business seeing all. But they have made returns for a long time now. The chance it might be scam or lose money is why I called it high-risk.
BTC-Mining: It's a bit stupid but you can'
t trade with yourself, apparently
__Atlas__: Distribution doesn'
t appear out of nowhere.
__Atlas__: You know, communists need to watch Breaking Bad to see why owning the means of production doesn'
t mean everything.
copumpkin: I don'
t have a car or even a license
MrTiggr: He was on #bitcoin-otc yesterday (I was so excited!) He said he took it down because he didn'
t want to endorse something purely for profit. He is still using bitcoin, though.
dub: "my friends are not scammers, the just don'
t want to sign anything that makes them responsible for what they said they would be responsible for"
BTC-Mining: Made from reputable swiss... arf I don'
t know how you call those but yeah. With serial numbers and papers.
nefario: but doesn'
t move much against it
nefario: which isn'
t exactly linked to USD or fiat
BTC-Mining: On GLBSE, until shares are sold, they aren'
t counted for giving dividends
__Atlas__: Smoovious: At times that is the core of it, they don'
t want to face life alone. They are scared.
Bane_Capital: I haven'
t but I heard it involved offshore gambling.
gribble: Error: User doesn'
t exist in the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered to receive ratings.
mircea_popescu: it's a pity nefario doesn'
t have much time to waste on irc.
nefario: I can'
t even go near a microwave or mobile phone
mircea_popescu: at any rate it doesn'
t cunt till someone has sex on the moon.
smickles: can'
t you also get time at a nice telescope and see the footprints?
nefario: like I said I don'
t just go throwing peoples info about willy nilly
kakobrekla: >Alberto agreed to this information being published, in the event of him scamming or running with the money, on sending it to me, I wouldn'
t post it otherwise.
nefario: eh the post doesn'
t say that
mircea_popescu: smickles you know it hasn'
t been offline in weeks ? maybe months.
kuzetsa: please don'
t talk about my anatomy
gribble: Nick 'kakobrekla', with hostmask 'kakobrekla!~T42@89-212-41-49.static.
t-2.net', is not identified.
mircea_popescu: nefario anarchy is that system where some guy that's been running the market where scams gather for years doesn'
t get to play the respectable.
mircea_popescu: the only reason i'm not routing you off the forum is cause the forum isn'
t worth the effort.
BTC-Mining: I don'
t know about UK, but here in Canada, I'm almost sure you can agree to get your personal data published and it's perfectly valid as long as you agreed to it.
nefario: also there are plenty of explanations online if you don'
t get it
dub: if its china, don'
t bother
mircea_popescu: nefario weren'
t you claiming to live in the uk when i said you lived in china ?
copumpkin: BTC-Mining: they can write "you sign away your firstborn" on that EULA, but it isn'
t actually valid
copumpkin: even then, I don'
t support publishing personal information except to law enforcement or people to serve him with papers
nefario: can'
t believe he's only 15
copumpkin: you can write a EULA that says "you sign away your firstborn" but that doesn'
t make it legit
copumpkin: yes, that doesn'
t mean you publish it publicly
Luke-Jr: "oh, 2 of 3 reviews thought it was bogus, but we didn'
t tell them it was showed to some friends, so ignore that! besides, we're not trying to pull anything here - trust us, ok?"
Azelphur: and doesn'
t really serve to change anything
BTC-Mining: I just don'
t want nefario out. It's a good platform, albeit slow.
Obsi: I just don'
t know if prices will drop like a rock for ASICs, or stay steady... we need to incite some price wars
