Micon_: I know many legitimate humans want to connect and make btc businesses
Micon_: mircea_popescu - I am interested in how to define trust for us early btc barons and accept other friendlies as time goes
ryepdx: Was thinking that. Was also hoping I wouldn't have to manage a bunch of affiliates myself.
TheNewDeal: I guess I could read tfm
Micon_: I do thank you for making bitbet to help kill betsofbit.coscam
Micon_: if I didn't have my own horde to manage for SwC I'd seriously consider your offer
ryepdx: mircea_popescu: Okay, thanks. Was kinda hoping someone had already set up a security of some kind, but I guess I'm treading new-ish ground.
Micon_: I suppose I could wish you the best of luck :)
moiety: wait.. mircea_popescu i have my location on tweeter as "looking for manuls" :/ eep
moiety: meh i use manuls everywhere
fluffypony: if I say "manul lady" nobody will know what that iw
mircea_popescu: ryepdx i guess make a deal with benkay ?
moiety: kakobrekla: i made it 0. im not having a neg bash addition!
ryepdx: I realize that getting in and out with actual dollars will require centralized brokers. Gateways from and to fiat will always be vulnerable...
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal well i glossed over that bit of nonsense.
mircea_popescu: i mean, his idea is sound, in theory, i can see why that is desirable
ryepdx: Outside of Bitfinex, is there any way to short Bitcoin in USD? I'm interested in exploring the possibility of creating a Bitcoin wallet that maintains a constant USD balance no matter what the exchange rate does.
gribble: marielynn was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 21 hours, 24 minutes, and 47 seconds ago: <MarieLynn> Okay, I only want palatable :P
mircea_popescu: http://bash.bitcoin-assets.com/?quote=118 kik i like the danielpbarron kid
mircea_popescu: better nick i say
BingoBoingo: I'm pretty sure I would smoke the chicken on the grill. Chickens are better as food than as alarms.
mircea_popescu: I bet you would my friend
fluffypony: pankkake: I also start typing replies to him and then give up, I don't actually have the time to waste
pankkake: I just can't into his brain
pankkake: I was going to reply to the latest jimmothy things but I forced myself not to
fluffypony: or that might be minerpart, I lose track
fluffypony: I don't think he's done anything except make circuitous, confusing arguments and accuse everyone of being part of a cult
BingoBoingo: Also I can kinda speak spanish. Also less aids and Ebola.
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: When I jump ship I'm looking more towards south or central america.
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: I don't like to comment much on the pending case other than, allegedly some political speech was said.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves im not sure i get what you're asking there.
fluffypony: dexX7: I gave up following the altcoin drama
kakobrekla: >>I do not know NXT, but I am interested in finding (and even potentially investing in) efforts to create a peer-to-peer capital market. In fact, if a good solution emerges, you might even see Overstock be the first issuer of a stock or bond in such a market, just to help things get going! (Incidentally, we were the first to do a Dutch auction IPO, for precisely that reason.)
benkay: it's a pretty high touch approach, which is why i'd expect to be able to carve out a niche in the space
benkay: gotta be quick 'cause i'm on my way to a walk
benkay: i'd take an entirely different tack
benkay: i want to get some skin into the remittance game, but haven't figured out how to.
fluffypony: I'm not suggesting that microlending to Malawians is ultra-profitable (or at all)
fluffypony: benkay: I fully agree on that
fluffypony: dignork: yep, I think I'm talking purely about using BTC as a way of getting around the cross-border issues
bitcoinpete: fluffypony: i'd argue that it's too big of a pain to use for a long position to not be a pre-req
benkay: "i'm just providing a vehicle for people to go short btc!"
Apocalyptic: btcjam is more like a p2p scamming last I heard
thestringpuller: I kinda want to apply at bitpay because they are nearby
bitcoinpete: my buddy thinks that this is "so out of touch because if I am reading this, with no savings, I wonder what the entire point is. it should at least add a context."
bitcoinpete: which i think is fair given inflation and a few decades of travel, etc
cgcardona: yea I wonder who did the drawing?
danielpbarron: i liked the old one, but it wasn't the most aesthetically pleasing design
cgcardona: bitcoinpete: I'm seeing http://imgur.com/5e6LSSG
bitcoinpete: cgcardona: i still see monopoly
cgcardona: yea people seem to be down on him but I've not met him before.
cgcardona: i've been watching a bunch of cody wilson interviews over the last couple of days and it's an interesting idea
danielpbarron: cgcardona: i think i wasted $25 on its kickstarter :/
danielpbarron: i'm not sure yet; it could be the good money that the beast tries to suppress with his mark
danielpbarron: if Bitcoin gets to the point where I can't spend it unless I have a mark on my hand or forehead, that's when I divest from Bitcoin and start street preaching
thestringpuller: i don't trust femme fatales
cgcardona: yes I would as well
thestringpuller: I would expect SuperUsers to have a mobile brothel for "socializing"
cgcardona: moiety: prob both. but I'm imagining SuperUsers are mostly business
thestringpuller: cgcardona: i imagine that secret society meetings never happen in the same place twice for good reason
cgcardona: moiety: I'm also suggesting that price doesn't matter to this group of people
cgcardona: i'm suggesting the people who show up would trust the proprieter of the lair
cgcardona: you know what I mean
cgcardona: well I'm assuming the SuperUser underground lair is a safe haven for all
moiety: o i see what you mean now. that's a bit tricky when everyone is scattered
moiety: cgcardona: here-in lay the super users tho, i doubt they will move
cgcardona: so I've been thinking about a group of SuperUsers called 'The church of Sudo', 'The Cult of the SuperUser', and/or 'Order of Root'. Also known as 'The Web' -- I thought that the WoT/+v could be an interesting real world model as well. So a person shows up at the SuperUser underground lair and has to sign a message w/ their key and then retina scan/fingerprint to get access.
danielpbarron: Micon: can i use the email you already tweeted at MP?
Micon: brb later guys / DPB if you send me how to verify myself with my key I'll do it in a bit
danielpbarron: Micon: i can invite you to keybase, they make it really easy to do all that
BigBitz: I enjoyed it.
moiety: i cancelled going at the last minute BigBitz then regretted it
Micon: i could modify SwC.eu, but how with GPG key?
BigBitz: I think I paid like 3.5/4BTC
moiety: i tweetered at them but didnt get a response
Micon: i just gave you a random pastebin with a GPG key
BigBitz: I thought there would have been another BTC London this year but appears not.
cgcardona: I play music and recently I'm going to start signing the lon/lat && timestamp right before I come on stage and flash it on the screen
moiety: <Micon> but I could tweet that I'm me right now << but you could also have a fake corresponding tweeter for this purpose
Micon: also non-0 chance I'll need to raise a quick $2M worth of btc for big SwC share :)
Micon: so I'll gladly sign something with my key to get in
danielpbarron: Micon: I can explain how the opposite is true
Micon: I'm totally down to generally support the movement
Micon: sure I'll join, I'm just explaining why I think WoT's in general do not preform the function the legitimate traders want
danielpbarron: the thing i did would have worked in -otc
Micon: but I could tweet that I'm me right now
Micon: For me personally, coming from the poker world, being insanely google-able and IRL verfiable, and especially because I spend every June at Rio since 2006, being on bitcointalk and doing btc trades here in Vegas since 2011... most ppl don't have any issue if they need to trust me.
BigBitz: Heh, I know... I know... :)
BigBitz: I need to watch out then. I have a considerable total rating, danielpbarron.
benkay: * danielpbarron isn't interested in acts of violence << i love a good bit of the old ultra-violence
danielpbarron: feel free to voice concerns, i'm sure they can be easily refuted
Micon: all the WoT's I have ever seen are "scammers climb to the top" situations
Micon: I mean... it all seems odd / gamable to me
danielpbarron: and then I can give you a rating, and then you can voice yourself
Micon: attached to every email I send...
BigBitz: ThickAsThieves yeah - that's his "job" I was just, surprised, I guess :)
BigBitz: I had a very good chat with him.
BigBitz: and I'll be honest - he's affable.
BigBitz: I met Josh at BTC London...
ThickAsThieves: I'm still waiting for you guys to submit questions to presenters for me to ask: http://devilsadvocate.biz/amsterdam-bitcoin-conferences-quantum-mining-and-the-future/
