gabriel_laddel: AdamIRAway: I see.
asciilifeform: 'As progressively dumber programmers build progressively more complex systems we will see more of this kind of attempt to paper over coding mistakes with lawyers, sanctions, policies, and laws. Hollywood and the RIAA are usually the most successful at getting the government to do their bidding. Thus I predict that one day Disney will have a Web site where you can buy access to any of their movies. Because all ☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: so it never actually listed, best i can discern. did it close down ?
AdamIRAway: 6. I think we are the only Bitcoin exchange in the world that is audited by one of the major auditing firms - PricewaterhouseCoopers
AdamIRAway: 3. We have a very rich API. I realise other exchanges have this also, but not so in Australia.
AdamIRAway: 1. Rather than rely on a technology/IT focused team (which is my own background), we brought onboard a lot of the executive team and investors with FX Markets, Investment Banking and Finance background, which I think has helped in many of the decisions we have made, and connections that we have made, and gives better overall balance and credibility to what we do.
AdamIRAway: I realise some other exchanges do some of these things, but some of the ways I think that Independent Reserve is ahead of a lot of our competition is...
mircea_popescu: cazalla yeah, i feel you. but should really be one paragraph at best. just the details.
asciilifeform: 'One Romanian hacker was lured to Boston by Secret Service Special Agent Matt O'Neill, who used the Internet to pose as a woman and invite the cybercriminal on a trip to the USA to enjoy gambling and romance. "He was quite surprised that I was the one meeting him when he arrived," said O'Neill, who worked on the case for months.' << lol, is anyone actually this stupid? even sp4mz0rs?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, that's an idea, i like to cover them just so i know if/when they close i have something to refer back to if they change their story at that point
mircea_popescu: cazalla i imagine these should really be all massed into one weekly post or something. X, Y and Z opened. K L and M closed."
AdamIR: mircea_popescu - I joined #bitcoin-otc. Will have a look in more detail later, thanks.
ben_vulpes: i'm sure it matters to someone
ben_vulpes: and i never say the decimal
ben_vulpes: i'd probably say "oh nine", but i should write "a 0.9..."
ben_vulpes: i'm retarded, it's fine
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nothing I said contradicts that conclusion. At $900k/BTC a lot of things become possibilities
cazalla: irc.oz.org #ir but i've invited them here
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know ther's really no diff the site makes. if commentary went to a special page you had to click for then i see it
BingoBoingo: I hit publish on Pete's piece, in the Commentary category not the news category.
cazalla: mike_c, which pete linked to but it's a commentary and as news alone, i don't think anyone cares what someone said regarding bitcoin so it could only be commentary on qntra
mike_c: nothing wrong with this in a commentary, but I would also like to be able to read the un-slanted version.
mircea_popescu: (i've not read it)
mike_c: ok, that is good. but that is also news i would like to have.
mike_c: i don't mean to poop on pete, but his is the one i just read.
ben_vulpes: all i have is the github repo ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "I am Ratna, 47 years, still having good figure, which is a result of satisfying fucking with different people during last 15 year. In my first 32 year I took only one cock in my cunt whereas in next 15 year I must have taken at least 3000 cocks in my body. This all because of my only son."
pete_dushenski: and i kept the contravex links to a single one ;)
pete_dushenski: i don't use it but it exists
asciilifeform: jurov: is asciilifeform actually paying so much for his blog << machine is wanted for nosuchlabs.com - currently home to 'phuctor.' i've an astonishingly vast quantity of donated pubkeys - job that wants real, vs. virtual, cpu to crunch (and plentiful memory)
fluffypony: I'm 14 and what is this
dr_love: I know a few people who I look up to, who have bad taste in art. I always wondered if there's a correlation of some sort
BingoBoingo: morgan-freeman_: How is your shit better than the shit I can by by the truckload at the farm down the road for a few dollars a ton?
morgan-freeman_: bounce: just my friends :-) but I suppose some of their friends created the website
morgan-freeman_: bounce: I don't spam! my friends told me to put it on #bitcoin-assets and #bitcoin-otc - I've never seen these two channels so I tried
mircea_popescu: http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/paul-krugmans-house/view/bing/ << send krugman one lb, i'll pay you once he gets it.
morgan-freeman_: well, I don't know but there is only a horse manure as a choice.. once I saw an elephant shit on one site, but no bitcoins
mircea_popescu: new way to stegano, i guess.
morgan-freeman_: i am literally laughing my shit off
dr_love: kakobrekla: ye, I like the way his movies aren't intended as message films. it's more like art, really
kakobrekla: i havent seen it
kakobrekla: i dont recall if i watched it?
mircea_popescu: anyway, i thought i had written about coffee and ciggs. seems not ?!
dr_love: I'm just starting to discover him, watched the limits of control recently
dr_love: mircea_popescu: is it off topic if I ask you what do you think of jarmusch, the filmmaker? any fav movies?
mircea_popescu: ahhh. hey, am i the only strega fan here ?
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: I already said it
Diablo-D3: I dont think the scam is still operating
undata: Diablo-D3: yeah, I want citations in both directions
dr_love: I do understand that, however people are perceiving it differently and positive EV tickets are a few jackpot rollovers away
PinkPosixPXE: Well.. since it's my first, I figure you can at least cut and scrap what you don't like. But I wanted to include as much as I could, didn't realize it'd be so long, heh..
PinkPosixPXE: There are some BTC only vps providers out there that I've gleamed, but haven't dug in.. Would be interesting to look into, I've got all the experience needed, and a few others I know are vps sellers/resellers (not that I'd recommend many of them, heh.. but I just find their style a bit sloppy).
jurov: i'm a dc noob... how much is such a pipe?
mircea_popescu: start with oh i dunno, 10k in venture capital
mircea_popescu: so i dun get the question.
mircea_popescu: dr_love basically it's a marketing wrapper on top of a dice site. best work as a promoter then i guess.
dr_love: well yeah, I was just looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroMillions#Distribution_of_revenue, where 50% goes to shit
BingoBoingo: dr_love: I'd recommend picking a fiat lottery and starting a BitBet on its drawing
mircea_popescu: in short i'd put bitvps down to poor management rather than poor fundamentals.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i specifically recall say asciilifeform asking for one.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla best i can tell, all someone needs to do is a) be a sysadmin and b) colocate a few boxes in a decent dc
pete_dushenski: i had fun with it too.
pete_dushenski: i did for a few years with the car industry.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i'm told the site was down but it was while i was sleeping. it was back up when i awoke.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Where I spell ungood this time?
PinkPosixPXE: I'm one of the Senior Linux/Unix Admins for a publishing company.
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell BingoBoingo daniel "speeks" ? i'm not the only one who noticed this...
PinkPosixPXE: I will openly admit I am still learning, and new, but will try to avoid putting my foot in my mouth too much :P. I've combed over all the wiki's for bt-otc and bt-assets, and am going through the 6 months of logs as I find time.
PinkPosixPXE: Yea, that was my mistake, the joke was in poor taste, and I also misunderstood the ranking system a bit. Sorry about that.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, the no vol i'll include but this missing 100 and same deposit address i can find nothing of
PinkPosixPXE: Good, almost done, I had to jump in a work meeting to discuss the Bash Shellshock vuln, and repatching some systems.. But I gave BingoBoingo an update, and will be sending it off shortly. It's my first shot at this, so I hope it's not too egregious.
kakobrekla: also i am unable to find anything written re that incident
kakobrekla: now that i started to think about it it - the more i think the less i recall
kakobrekla: hm i have a different recollection but could as well be wrong
mod6: ah. yeah, recall some mil stuff he talked about. been a while. i liked his angle on things.
cazalla: but i should've mentioned the non existent vol kraken has
cazalla: <mircea_popescu> cazalla yeah but you see what i mean <<< not really, it's not a promotional piece, just quoting what the man said himself, i'm not too familiar with kraken guys though tbh
mircea_popescu: o the guy quit, i recall
gribble: I have not seen mcorlette.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: i get it, caleb and co would like us to think kraken actually exists. that's fine, but it doesn't, and why are you pushing it ? <<< i thought i mentioned their low vol in the article, guess not
mircea_popescu: cazalla yeah but you see what i mean
gribble: I have not seen staatsfeind.
gribble: I have not seen staatsfiend.
mod6: i feel like maybe he was in a different chan more recently than that. but maybe it has been that long o.O
gribble: vragnaroda was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 years, 17 weeks, 1 day, 6 hours, 29 minutes, and 0 seconds ago: <vragnaroda> I'm American.
mod6: Apocalyptic: ahh. i see.
mircea_popescu: TomServo i have nfi. bounce sure, teh future's an open book.
mthreat: I can't read Tuur Demester's name without saying it "Turd Meister" in my mind
kakobrekla: <bounce> those have variable-sized blocksize limits < i dont know if anyone did this before
mircea_popescu: so far what i got from your position is, "curious how the market adjusts the price of the oil barrel, but not what a barrel consists of"
nubbins`: if there's logic in that, i can't find it
nubbins`: i can send a flat-packed poster to nottingham for the same price i can send a dozen shirts to china
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> i think it was somewhere between 20 and 40 << llol. isn't thiks true of like, 90% of all postage ever ?
mircea_popescu: what they opine as to how either of those should work, well... i'm a believer in free speech just as much as the next guy.
nubbins`: i think it was somewhere between 20 and 40
nubbins`: i might have it here
thestringpuller: we've almost sold them all I think 1 left?
thestringpuller: well there was one where someone was wearing the physical shirt (i think it was your wife?)
nubbins`: ah, i have no idea
thestringpuller: i just saw that in the logs
