mircea_popescu: i think they only have medals perpared for the surprisingly-arrested

wywialm: hope we'll continue this fascinating discussion sometime later, i'll be going now

bounce: (at least what little I've seen of economists... let's see if I still have that impression in a year or so, say)

mircea_popescu: i buy at a discount, often significant. they buy at a premium, always significant.

wywialm: and i believe the 0..inf is never an option, the dumping winners can charge only a monopoly rent afterwards, having erected (rather weak) barriers to entry

mircea_popescu: wywialm it is not dumping the whole sector. even if mcdonald sold for free i wouldn't patronise them. i stll eat at good restaurants.

mircea_popescu: i have.

wywialm: as a theoretical possiblity - i agree. but empirically, i have never seen it done

wywialm: at least partially, and as far as i managed to research it, i believe it's a non-issue, perhaps you could point to something convincing me to believe otherwise?

wywialm: and regarding emergency medicine: i agree with mircea_popescu, adding that the most probable explanation for this are large economies of scale and perhaps public good as well

bounce: so I'll buy that as a vivid example of getting the right knowledge at the right place, but don't buy the form as a solve-all.

wywialm: bounce: i can't see any economic justification for things turning that way. The evolution of PT in Poland is a direct proof to the contrary - a few efficient contractors in the bigger cities and between them, successfully coping with ever-increasing regulation

mircea_popescu: bounce the only way i see this to be approachable is the medieval method (still used in romania for emergency medicine say) : you hire a boss. he does whatever he wants.

VanCleef: i think SatoshiIsland needs some sort of governence but it should be like a company where you hire people for the positions via very complicated hard test, previous background and experiences and these positions should be interchangable every year and performance based

mircea_popescu: wywialm i wouldn't.

wywialm: but still - i'd opt for a government scandinavian style that is just fiscally opressive but much less tries to mix with the rules

wywialm: you're very right on the govt contracts stuff, but i suppose the regulatory burden is much heavier for the economy than plain old fiscal intervention

mircea_popescu: wywialm i know you aren't, but stating it for teh record.

wywialm: i'm not selling keynesianism

mircea_popescu: i saw exactly 0 difference in switching.

mircea_popescu: turbo_ac100 i don't think it makes much difference.

turbo_ac100: Does google rank your site worse if I dont have the relevant TLD and do geotargeting only with webmaster tools?

mircea_popescu: like if you keep a girl tied to a post in your basement and only rape her when she's not... willing, i guess you'd call it ?

mircea_popescu: wywialm i fail to distinguish socialism and keynesianism myself.

dexx: how comes i have the impression there are only very few successful bitcoin businesses?

VanCleef: i only get till 28th of september 2012 mp

mircea_popescu: nubbins`: but i'm not about to buy a coin off some random noob with no trust ;p <<< ajaahaha the moment we've all been waioting for. nubsy baby, maybe buy it FOR ATC ?!?!?!?!

Neil: Something I'd wanted to know for a long time; now I can produce this easily: http://pastebin.com/7QSb6ypA

mircea_popescu: zacm: so this is disconcerting to see the lemmings on bitcointalk cheer on us gov action against mpex people. bitcoin community must be eagerly anticipating govcoin i guess << i wouldn't read too much into the derpage of a coupla tards tbh.

mircea_popescu: haha i got my hitler paintings today.

antephialtic: i don't have any money in neo. its just annoying to see another implosion that makes bitcoin look stupid to the rest of the unenlightened population

BingoBoingo: The thing read as though "I wanted to go insolvent on my schedule, but I deposited with people who went insolvent first"

antephialtic: which I am sure are quite massive

VanCleef: but yeh i hope MP books a flight to russia soon

antephialtic: well I guess bitcoin is really going to take off in cyprus now

VanCleef: i knew there was something wrong when i seen pictures of their office

peterl: I wonder if the line between his money and NEO's money was not clear enough?

peterl: I just started a new thread for people to continue the discussion. I doubt, however, that he will answer in it.

benkay: (i think he's kidding)

Mats_cd03: and i just noticed it embedded a link from gist

benkay: i think i'm going to rebel against my gui conditioning and agree with you

random_cat: i'd call it awesome

benkay: i love ambrose

Mats_cd03: bitcoin meetup i bet

Mats_cd03: i can do that on a beach while getting rimmed by a thai prostitute

Mats_cd03: i reverse engineer firmware

Mats_cd03: i figure if btc goes up in ten years or less i can retire to a beach in asia

benkay: "i am more interested in checks landing in my mailbox."

stompysteve: i mean danny brewster

nubbins`: w/e, you know what i mean :D

MisterE: yea cloning is trivial and has been I don't buy it

MisterE: thats exactly what I was thinking when I saw it, old tape recorder

asciilifeform: excuse was, if i recall, that scammers will use the reader to lift cc #s.

MisterE: I'm so glad I hang out here and dont have to track all these scams by myself

joecool: asciilifeform: good to know, i need to dig around and see if i have any of the old style

asciilifeform: i set the 'bozo bit' on 'square' when they caved in to the FUD and replaced their purely-analogue card reader with an elaborate crypto turd

MisterE: I'd just like to buy the bullion without the numismatic part sir

MisterE: lol I know :)

joecool: i was looking at the gox db leak, he moved coin out of there pretty quickly, i do not think he was one of the big losers in there

nubbins`: i personally gave him something over 60btc

joecool: crazy, mike's doin p.well for himself i guess

nubbins`: kakobrekla: honestly i don't know.

joecool: nubbins`: i sold mine for 15

nubbins`: i wouldn't pay a satoshi over 15

nubbins`: joecool i've seen rubes offering upwards of 25btc, but this is a guaranteed loss.

nubbins`: the last silver 0.5btc coin i sold (rare holo, mintage 45) went for 6btc

dexX7_: re: mpoe-pr ban ... was this an april fools joke? i don't see any sign of a ban

joecool: i sold mine at 50% premium months ago and i'm seeing em go for 100% over face now :-\

mike_c: yeah, i'm wondering the trend. nubbins` has been dealing them for awhile

nubbins`: but i'm not about to buy a coin off some random noob with no trust ;p

nubbins`: i mean, i feel bad for the guy

nubbins`: "I've been reconsidering my finances and I'm not sure I am in a position to hold on to this collectors item"

nubbins`: Mats_cd03, i resent that!

asciilifeform: nubbins`: i wonder if anyone would buy a casascius coin that i've touched, after what i said about them

Mats_cd03: i distinctly recall saying you basically robbed the guy

nubbins`: heh, a guy i sold a casascius coin to has decided he really can't afford it and is wondering if i'll buy it back from him

MisterE: I dont read bitcointalk unless directed to it

asciilifeform: i do believe that my kitchen floor will collapse 'when', not 'if'

BingoBoingo: Well, I had the great fortune of once living next to the bulding whose walkway collapsed first

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'd move to antarctica if there were work there.

MisterE: I live in a box too

BingoBoingo: At least I didn't try translating the thing to a LISP first

asciilifeform: how difficult is it to get listed on mpex... kakobrekla asciilifeform etc could comment on it << i still have no idea what to say to hypothetical random people who want to be listed.

asciilifeform: damn i leave for one day to do meatspace crap and miss all the fun.

BingoBoingo: I smell another hardfork in the next 18 months

benkay: "So once again, I must thank Aravind, Gavin, Timo, Luis and all other great people for being behind Bitcoin, which means no other thing that transmitting the passion for it to other people."

benkay: beery musings on hiring cut rate developers and bringing technical debt down on your non-technical ass: http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2014/04/01_i-dont-build-vms-on-developer-machines.html

mike_c: just what i needed.. easier access to bitbet. there goes another pile of coins.

turbo_ac100: Will register. Haven't done so for too long. I'll come back to you.

mike_c: i mean this line:

kakobrekla: i removed one part of it

mike_c: i don't know if that was there before :)

mike_c: might have worked http://i.imgur.com/WD4R2ZI.png

kakobrekla: i have no clue

tg2: but I guess that would go against it

tg2: I read the listing criteria I saw nothing about absolving personal liability in ti

kakobrekla: turbo_ac100 i managed to come to that page but i still dot get it, what is the url that needs to be provided for the plugin

tg2: I'm just surprised that noone has pursued it, it seems that mpex is doing just that however by covering their delinquent listers

turbo_ac100: kakobrekla: second hit when searching on mycroft. There are two versions since they (he?) do versioning by hand. Since 1998 I guess...

tg2: I honestly wasn't aware that mpex paid out for delinquent listings
