Azelphur: sure, I have no desire to purchase it I have a very nice OpenWRT router that I can do all the things with
asciilifeform: now, a similar contraption was, if i recall, sold several years ago, but that makes abox merely boring.
Azelphur: I thought everyone was hating on it because it used the TP-Link board, xD
Azelphur: heck, if I wanted to build something like the anonabox, that's exactly the way I would build it, find some cheap mass produced decent existing hardware, build decent software to run on it, and ship it out preconfigured
mircea_popescu: "Ok i can't say how much i invested in total, i had shares worth $25k but i reinvested from daily earnings, wasn't so much i signed up in September...
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I don't get why people are hating on the anonabox, why does it matter if they were using existing hardware?
mircea_popescu: They also have glowing reviews from all over the world posted on their site after only a month of operation. It feels like trying too hard. That said, I did take a chance and invest some coins. I contacted them about my concerns (after I invested a few coins) and they were responsive and discussed things with me. Their backend is pretty sophisticated and you can withdraw your earnings at any time without fees. If it
mircea_popescu: "Hi, I have been using the site since mid December. You do have to be careful where you put your coins. The site has some . . . well, issues. A .biz suffix for one, but also they work out of the UK (trading stops on UK holidays) but are incorporated in Panama with no locational address or phyiscal contact method.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller from that link : "I found this site few days ago and bought mining shares, and have been getting 1.42% return every day.

mircea_popescu: "Dear Sir, I have 100% of your money, please send me a quarter of this amount and then I will send the rest back to you, because logic."
mircea_popescu: "It is a known fact that I personally opposed any proof of solvency, but agreed to conduct it for the sake of a few dozen small and medium investors."

mats_cd03: i put my dong in a vacuum cleaner attachment once
nubbins`: i said "snofshanofshanof" to myself as i pasted it ;/
mircea_popescu: i dun think so.
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> i think new regs on btc should amount to giving pre-existing institutions an avenue for entering the bitcoin fray << not helpful. the only helpful thing they can do is say "every financial institution of the fiat persuasion has six months to get mp's okay or lose its fiat license"
mircea_popescu: <Apocalyptic> more generally, the article as far as I understands it sheds a negative light on "regulation", as reminded by the Romanian footnote, it mainly results in you being fucked << it just makes the point that regulation is the stricture of death. which it is
ThickAsThieves: i think evoorhees has that high horse occupied
ThickAsThieves: The Fool, i know
ThickAsThieves: sure, but i'm playing on the fact one human will read this
ThickAsThieves: note i just sent it quickly off so youre gonna be mor epicky than i probly was
ThickAsThieves: i think new regs on btc should amount to giving pre-existing institutions an avenue for entering the bitcoin fray
ThickAsThieves: fwiw i wrote to nydfs today sharing some thoughts about why they should ease up
Apocalyptic: more generally, the article as far as I understands it sheds a negative light on "regulation", as reminded by the Romanian footnote, it mainly results in you being fucked
ThickAsThieves: i think i was proving there wasnt so much depth there in the first place
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, i'll quote some trilema here : http://trilema.com/2013/regulation-for-our-lord-regulos/
ThickAsThieves: i think its the wrong perspective, and namely that,
ThickAsThieves: i dunno, bringing nature into this gets shakey for me
chetty: beats me, I knew it was possible but I never saw it done before
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, I'm not sure I get this, do you consider the b-a voice system as such ?
chetty: (fortunately I am out of range now)
chetty: yeah, danged if I would go.
ThickAsThieves: i need two things, a place to trade and a place to cash out
ThickAsThieves: i smoney going to regulators
ThickAsThieves: the only thing i dont like in this
mircea_popescu: i mean what's in a regard.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic well but i mean, then obama doesn't regard executive orders as regulation mechanisms.
ThickAsThieves: i dont care about stamp
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, I don't regard the b-a voice system as a regulation mecanism
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i agree the art of dancing with goats is necessary if you agree it doesn't include fucking them.
nanotube: mircea_popescu: i see. i'd venture to guess they are not doing that voluntarily, so 'scam' is not quite the right word.
ThickAsThieves: only chinese exchange i'd consider is btcchina
Apocalyptic: <kakobrekla> there is no place for an honest exchange // i'm beginning to think that way as well
BigBitz: kakobrekla I strongly disagree.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu I just trade for fun. Nothing fancy. Bitcoin doesn't have place for TA :)
mircea_popescu: i don't envy you ppl trying to trade your cross or anything.
ThickAsThieves: i wont leave coin there if i'm not playing tho
ThickAsThieves: ftr i dont classify bfx as scammers
BigBitz: I have a very defined view of a scammer.
BigBitz: but I can't day trade on thin air.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu: I agree.
BigBitz: I know they could be stupid by association.
mircea_popescu: the translation i mean.
bounce: I hear there's an "Ark B" scheduled for launch in a bit. might wanna get on, eh?
kakobrekla: such variety. i want to get off this planet away from stupid people. BigBitz wants to give them money.
Adlai: BigBitz: i volunteer to translate. "don't trust bitfinex with your money, because they're potentially unwitting scammers through a combination of fecklessness and incompetence"
mircea_popescu: i love density, srsly. what's not a sane argument ?
BigBitz: mircea_popescu I just like to know.
mircea_popescu: "don't worry about fucking me, it's true i raped a girl last week but i washed all the blood off my cock so should be ok"
ThickAsThieves: bigbitz, i think the point is they were conspitors in the first place
BigBitz: yeah mircea_popescu, I know that, but they claim (liars, potentially) that code is non-existant on their platform now.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu I am happy to follow; but some context is always good.
BigBitz: I'm happy to move them - I just like to knoe some information/detail.
ThickAsThieves: yeah i think reading 2013 would be great
ThickAsThieves: i'd say that 12-18mos of logs is probly the requirment now, the discourse hasnt been as dense this year
thestringpuller: i'd move those coins
BigBitz: I did say "I have some coins there"
BigBitz: kakobrekla well that's why I was asking. Feel free to educate me as to how they're inclined to scam.
kakobrekla: <BigBitz> but I can't argee that stupid people are instantly scammers. < so, it takes some time. are you going to wait for it?
BigBitz: I'm not an early day Bitcoiner.
mircea_popescu: dude look here : i agree that your stupidity does not make YOU a scammer.
mircea_popescu: who are you again and why would i care or w/e.
BigBitz: but I can't argee that stupid people are instantly scammers.
BigBitz: kakobrekla sure, I agree with that wholly.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu if that's your rationale then how can I argue...
mircea_popescu: i guess you missed out on a lot of discussion.
mircea_popescu: i don't care who thinks he wants to try.
BigBitz: I admit their use of Bitconica code is that of retards.
BigBitz: ( I have some coins there, I'm intrigued ;) )
ThickAsThieves: i see nothing in this post about usg
BigBitz: mircea_popescu I've not been around.
ThickAsThieves: i'm thinking coinbase might be best now
BigBitz: some definition required I think mircea_popescu.
ThickAsThieves: i partly suggest them because of my observation of price and which exchanges veer off the most
mircea_popescu: i guess yeah, there's just no way huh.
ThickAsThieves: i'd vote for bitfinex or btcchina for ;;ticker price ... it's slim pickins. I guess coinbase might even be valid.
