mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel how familiar with the process are you ? like, for instance, the simple (lol) ShouldAbort() function ?
mircea_popescu: i see nobody wishes to engage the cunt problem. but yes, IT DOES RUN ON PERL.

mircea_popescu: ima read this noob blog later, off to eat some steak. you know what this means, ben_vulpes ? steak ? yes ?
mircea_popescu: i know that if i'm the guy where the buck stops (usually rendered as "ceo" in anglocircles) then god damned are my opinionsmandatory for the whole organisation. wtf else are we even doing.
mircea_popescu: and whence is mimex to get OTHER opinions from ? you got a coo ?

mircea_popescu: the trustworthyness of the operator is first. liquidity second. features maybe third tho ideally the thing should be just open and anyone can build their own features.

mircea_popescu: take discrimination and put it in the wot <-> currency has no business discriminating.
mircea_popescu: "immutable, fungible, non-discriminatory, and trustless" hm. this seems actually correct.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why this is the case, seeing how on the plain consideration immutability is a very retarded concept,

mircea_popescu: really, the impact of mtgox on anything to do with bitcoin, its "price" y compris, is broadly overstated.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "and the Bitcoin ramp to 1200 proved to be an artifact of a fractional-reserve exchange, for just two examples." << this doesn't make sense, because the exchange was fractional in btc not in fiat.
mircea_popescu: people who do it intentionally, after we're done with the clueless set.
mircea_popescu: people who do wrong unintentionally are to be punished.
mircea_popescu: dry wood is to be cut off and taken away. far, far away. in chains.
mircea_popescu: worse, much much worse than any deliberate scammer. the naive is the absolute shit of the world.
mircea_popescu: but i guess preet bharara is busy making his cell arrangements
mircea_popescu: that muppet... i have no idea how he and his gf/announcer aren't in jail over the auroracoin scam
mircea_popescu: "is the hallmark of fiat psyops hell-bent on undermining their control of the monetary base. " << ben_vulpes come again ?
