TheNewDeal: I don't think financial crises necessarily means boom for bitcoin
kyuupichan: I wonder what it'd take to get BTC to 10k by 29 Nov. World financial crisis perhaps?
kyuupichan: I guess it's useful for stats. Not very private though which is why I wondered why people do it. Maybe they just don't care.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i might have mentioned this once, long ago. what killed? the decision to copy american machines to run warez.

asciilifeform: decimation: at present time, i apply the paste with a pump. tried plastic templates (laser cut), wasn't satisfied.

colinistheman: It was good to talk to you all but I will be on my way now. Good day to you gentlemen. And don't forget your arsenal of knives :P
colinistheman: Thank you for also spreading the word on BFL. I will continue to do what I can and I'm glad it helped in any way.
colinistheman: I used to blame BFL_Josh for the poor show at BFL. Well, I still do. But Sonny is the kingpin behind the scenes. That's the real meat and potatoes crime boss
colinistheman: From what I gather, sonny vleisides, carried on the scam of his father. Your article seems to touch upon this. "I came to know my real father only as an adult. So when I got the opportunity to know him better, I was eager and curious. His name was James Ray Houston:

colinistheman: I think there would be a good market for a promoted domain and blog for BFL fraud info though.
colinistheman: It's a good idea but I don't have the time. I managed to scrap together these few things.
assbot: BFL Late Monarch and How to Handle it. Josh, as COO, I request your reply to this.
colinistheman: http://knives4bitcoin.com/BFL_Late_Monarch_and_How_to_Handle_it._Josh,_as_COO,_I_request_your_reply_to_this.htm
colinistheman: By the way, this may interest you, mircea_popescu. I posted the following information on BFL's forum and it got deleted. It was a detailed recording of a series of events in the Monarch production timeline. This post got deleted from their forums but I kept a backup because I knew it would. Then I was banned from the forums after providing a lawyer link to every member on BFL forums.
