mircea_popescu: what if this isn't really a pirate thing but gox got hacked again !?
mircea_popescu: well i don't know that there's simpler ways.
BTC-Mining: I wanted to get all my BTC out to sell them at 15$... couldn't make it
mircea_popescu: it didn't change much from prev did it, the ticker i mean.
mircea_popescu: don't try to time the market.
BTC-Mining: which might be why gribble can't get bids/asks
EmanuelDeOrtego: Because I don't believe Pirate is god?
EmanuelDeOrtego: He is dead meat if he doesn't pay.
EmanuelDeOrtego: I trust he isn't a man that doesn't want his head blown off by a darknet assassin because he didn't pay.
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining don't worry, the former will never happen
EmanuelDeOrtego: I do as well. I trust that he isn't a man that goes into the red or wants to payout of his own savings.
BTC-Mining: Hopefully that won't be that case
usagi: Maybe he isn't delaying?
usagi: I don't know why he is delaying.
EmanuelDeOrtego: EskimoBob: Can't be true because if he has the Bitcoins in hand, he would of already paid back his investors.
Anduck: would you people use a stock exchange that didn't lag and looked professional and be very secure? and be made by me
EmanuelDeOrtego: EskimoBob: He wouldn't admit this because it would ruin it.
Anduck: would you people use a stock exchange that didn't lag and looked professional and be very secure?
BTC-Mining: I haven't sold one yet... heck they've never been on sale so far.
usagi: That isn't a fact....
EmanuelDeOrtego: The facts are Pirate is low on Bitcoins and he can't profitably buy at these current prices.
EmanuelDeOrtego: I don't think people are that stupid
dust-otc: unfortunately for pirate, if he can't pay back, his scheme is indistinguishable from a ponzi
BTC-Mining: This is exactly why I don't sell my bitcoins... I see too much bids and low asks
dust-otc: if the price crashes to $5 and it isn't due to some sort of illegality
EmanuelDeOrtego: Doesn't matter
EmanuelDeOrtego: It all matches up though. I mean, why hasn't he paid off his investors yet?
EmanuelDeOrtego: Don't tell me my Americano is not coffee
EmanuelDeOrtego: I guess he isn't obligated to
EmanuelDeOrtego: He doesn't even care about Bitcoin
brendio: no, those trades weren't me.
EmanuelDeOrtego: they just aren't marketed well enough
mircea_popescu: EskimoBob i wouldn't underwrite that.
mircea_popescu: dust-otc aren't they insured ? he owes 1 on them anyway
mircea_popescu: the only people who are on the hook for 1 anyway and don't want panic.
plusEV: i don't know about btc price
Ignatius-otc: I guess you don't think the deposits will be returned...or btc will lose too much value before they are?
usagi: Why would I give money away like that? Doesn't make sense
usagi: The problem is you see that people who are looking for a deal aren't looking to hold the shares long term they just want to flip em
usagi: Why don't you buy it at 1.02 :p
usagi: Why should we allow investors to buy in on saturday, get an immediate 2% payment, then sell out? doesn't make sense
mircea_popescu: do you mean you aren't sellign them anymore ?
usagi: We don't want people buying in the day before divs and getting 2% interest in 1 day
smickles: well, i would say change since open, but the market doesn't close
smickles: i haven't messed with the trades stream
smickles: mircea_popescu: i think your bot's bids/asks arn't showing up in the json again
usagi: I can't believe Nefario let TIMESHAREAFRICA list. They're not a member of VOASA and are not licensed to do what they're doing. It's an obvious scam.
agath: I didn't meant to buy it, it was just a statement!
mircea_popescu: i thought you don't do bfl
mircea_popescu: and my risk appetite is low atm, so. i didn't get into it.
mircea_popescu: i have my doubts about the entire thing strictly because i don't know the peiople and it's china based.
agath: Anduck: yes it might, my design should require 0.5W / GH @ 65nm (simulation only, it might be different), and I can't say too many details
agath: I didn't want to know, I know it already, I was just commenting
agath: mircea_popescu: I don't intend to sell this, and I also don't search for investors so I don't need to tell you details about it... I just wanted to tell you that it's not so much complicated as it might seem, if you know how to do it.
mircea_popescu: "o, the talk host is the hard part but if you're talented like i think i am it doesn't matter that it's a de facto monopoly and nobody will run your shitty show"
mircea_popescu: people don't realise what costs actually are etc.
mircea_popescu: $150 ? I don't think so.
EmanuelDeOrtego: LOL 2012-08-17 21:33:36] < random BS&T investor > i'm starting to think quitting my day job in favor of btcst wasn't the best decision
mircea_popescu: do you or don't you ?
projectshifter: i didn't realize investments were really going on with btc until the other day
EmanuelDeOrtego: Bots certainly don't get along
BTC-Mining: It was mostly an anonymous operation, I don't think he would... I know I wouldn't mind people being cautious in that situation.
mircea_popescu: haven't really bought much since it went 5
BTC-Mining: If he isn't, that's enough time to flee away...
BTC-Mining: If pirate is honest, he probably won't mind...
BTC-Mining: Don't got much left except BTC-MINING
BTC-Mining: I couldn't sell in time =/
mircea_popescu: don't ruin btc guys!
smickles: anyway, i wouldn't consider using GA until i was established and trying to fix 'designe flow' issues
mircea_popescu: wasn't bitcoinica bootstrap too ?
smickles: and it ain't going to be bootstrap
mircea_popescu: course i'm the absolute worst person to talk about this with. there's prolly most benefit in doing things EXACTLY like i wouldn't do them.
mircea_popescu: smickles who says i won't ? :D
Azelphur: smickles: I'm confused, isn't that what SS already does?
smickles: even if you didn't buy it, it would increase your dividends
usagi: didn't azelphur buy it all at 1 and then try to sell it at 2?
MoneyIsDebt: usagi: You don't understand Thais...
usagi: Well you clearly don't understand women goat
mircea_popescu: please don;t go on an EskimoBob rant nao
mircea_popescu: rg : i haven't had sex with a single woman yet this year.
MoneyIsDebt: Yeah, it wouldn't make sense for anyone but you to buy it
MoneyIsDebt: that doesn't make sense
mircea_popescu: just because pissing on the electric wire worked once doesn't mean it's safe now
smickles: 'well, pirate wasn't a ponzi, so this other guy offering >5% per week probably isn't either"
mircea_popescu: ya it recovered nicely. we didn't get nearl;y as battered as it looked it'll be
Ignatius-otc: Where I live it will take me over 1m usd to live as a middle class citizen for the remainder of my life, because of that I have a potentially unique definition of "rich". I don;t think pirate got rich from this, but I guess its possible.
mircea_popescu: in the recent leaks we see he wasn't getting his salary even
MoneyIsDebt: yeah, well, that doesn't matter really
jcpham: numbers aren't important
mircea_popescu: Doffx i don't stand to directly lose or gain from the guy.
mircea_popescu: certainly if the man does that which i don't deem possible to be done i'll be well impressed.
Ignatius-otc: I didn't, ty!
mircea_popescu: Doffx haha why didn't you sign up back when!
smickles: but the S²cm dividend wasn't included in either
MoneyIsDebt: heh, there's still a few 1dice in there... as if things weren't enough of a gamble at this point
Lucidize: so just to be clear, yarr won't go above 1 now?
smickles: his bs&t post
smickles: wait, didn't usagi say yar was worth 1 regardless of a pirate default?
smickles: the glbse server is on fire, nef won't answer b/c he's putting itout
usagi: Can't get a trade screen to open on glbse
