artifexd: I'm used to working on multiple 30" monitors so the thought of working on a 7" tablet scares me.

mircea_popescu: artifexd i never understood it.

chetty: hey I found ceoDanny

mircea_popescu: this guy's pretty epic. "i do ixcoin. i think it'll be huge"

mircea_popescu: i mean, obscure band, i can see. you're hoping to hop the solist/celist

ThickAsThieves: i just mean why stop at proving you have the coins

mircea_popescu: referrals i guess aren't public.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves expenses aren't really that centralised. i mean which lines ?

mircea_popescu: i'd rather decentralize etc.

ThickAsThieves: i see an error!

mircea_popescu: well i think there's less error here than the average, really

antephialtic: <JuicyGrabs> I didn't "lose" anything because I don't invest for short term and to be swayed by trolls and paid shills. I used this chance to buy more.

mircea_popescu: for my numerous crimes of having known about various future pops months/weeks in advance, i shall henceforth be known as mp_goldstein

mircea_popescu: i like that part.

mircea_popescu: nubbins` did i ever tell you about that one time i had to do it ?

moiety: i grew up with it spelt oh but i keep typing o since coming here lol

nubbins`: 'cause you're always saying "a a now i get it" or "o"

mircea_popescu: nubbins` the part i don't understand are the bottom left buttons. an d and an a ? whay ?

moiety: lolol! no i was passing on news about someone else, mircea_popescu XD

mircea_popescu: i know few people who could've done it, what she did

mircea_popescu: and i really don't see how i could've said no.

mircea_popescu: well originally it was ok, so moving over to .lk, but then she was like listen, can i have some time off nao ?

locksmith: I wouldn't be surprised if he was also deep into the karpeles thing, he was looking into a flight to go to japan from cyprus through dubai and couldn't find connecting flights at dubai

mircea_popescu: kinda why the price is up i guess.

locksmith: I haven't called scam. all I'm saying is that they got to a point where they can't pay back their creditors. i.e. they owe over 150,000 euros to their marketing/pr firm Telia & Pavla BBDO

mircea_popescu: antephialtic i dunno that scam was ever seriously argued other than as a technicality.

locksmith: I'm an uninvolved observer as well but have 2 individual sources within Neo. the hard truth is that for the past week the employees could not get ahold of DB, and their paychecks will probably not be met for the month of March (they haven't been paid yet from what I know)

VanCleef: i think havelock will close down sometime this year

ThickAsThieves: i believe a reason was given publically, no?

locksmith: just read the article as well, I can translate it for anyone interested

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell decimation epic quote, i shall use it!

mircea_popescu: i thought they just bought the month of april.

ThickAsThieves: i doubt thats the reason on record

nubbins`: you are [an idiot/wasting my time/first against the wall when i am king]

ThickAsThieves: i am disappoint

ThickAsThieves: wow i thought youd have the usual make-me-feel-like-an-idiot answer

ThickAsThieves: i assume it's to promote longer terms of invetsment, but is that to benefit the dollar itself, or to promote longer-term invetsments in the economy of the country?

VanCleef: i think its obamas fault

moiety: ThickAsThieves: i thought as much because of the emails and the fact all the amounts were so stupidly high

cazalla: VanCleef: I googled that - chinese bitcoiners executed, first result is a laugh

VanCleef: well 10 chinese bitcoiners did get executed today by the chinese gov, i don't think they're laughing

antephialtic: (obviously I wasn't going to buy the dump)

antephialtic: here's a short convo I had with the hacker

cazalla: yeah, i'm behind

mircea_popescu: no i mean, the answer to your q is in teh log.

thestringpuller: guess I'm bitcoins on the street for now on

jurov: i received exactly the text i pasted (minus the trailing LOLOLOL)

moiety: http://i.imgur.com/NCBsGMt.png?1 thats the coinbase snip i was shown

moiety: lies i did earlier

moiety: tweeter? i havent been today yet

moiety: i dont use coinbase lol someone showed me what they got

moiety: i thought it was an april fools thing because of the ridiculously high numbers

ColdHardMetal: I got one of those from: fuckingspammer@mailinator.com at least they're forthright about it.

mircea_popescu: it is a scam, obviously. it's not without coinbase's involvement tho, which is what i mean. htey're using the same infrastructure a legit merchant would be using.

mircea_popescu: well... i mean.... uh.

jurov: funniest scam i have seen recently

mircea_popescu: ColdHardMetal always a risky proposition, bitcoin divestment for fiat. who knows, maybe in a decade i live to regret it :p

ColdHardMetal: I'd say you got your money's worth.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i marvel that she lasted this long - my dosimeter turns full black from just reading that phorum for a few min.

mircea_popescu: i got rich by acting like gotti.

mircea_popescu: what am i going to do, run mr scrooge's offices over here ?

asciilifeform: i thought she just moved to new forum?

antephialtic: i've tried before, but after 3 (uninformed) guesses, the account got temporarily locked. Seems pretty reasonable to do over a long period of time (assuming gmx isn't smart enough to stop it)

antephialtic: i doubt he was dumb enough to leave any identifying info there, but it would be interesting nonetheless

nubbins`: antephialtic: as someone who's into g.g. marquez, i don't mind sentimentalism or surrealism ;D

antephialtic: its a bit sentimental for the crypto-anarchist type, but I enjoy it nonetheless

antephialtic: surrealist fiction. highly enjoyable. I recommend the Land of Laughs

mircea_popescu: this i can get behind.

nubbins`: crichton was interesting in that he's the only novelist i can think of who included a lengthy bibliography in each book

nubbins`: i even forgot the "global warming" button

nubbins`: jurov i wanted to strike while the iron was hot ;(

nubbins`: i, for one, am looking forward to warmer summers, if not a drastic increase in the price of food

mircea_popescu: no, i'll certify it if you care.

antephialtic: I asked them to pastebin it, then the guy told me to fuck off :)

antephialtic: yeah I suppose they could have just used the emails to google for the names and then released that as a "partial dump"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform forwarded you some mile long email, mostly because i have no consideration for your time apparently.

mircea_popescu: it's not canned, i make them up fresh.

mircea_popescu: jurov just saying, i called it stupid and moved on when i was about 9

nubbins`: don't i just feel silly for shovelling a walking path down the middle of my street

jurov: well, i'm looking how will mircea call it when when half of oceania finally drowns

antephialtic: I don't have any funds in coinbase, but they are a major point of centralization

antephialtic: and offered to give password hash + last 4 digits of credit card if I pm'd him my email (which I didn't)

antephialtic: they had a security issue that allowed user accounts to be enumerated, and I suspect that is the problem, that scammers are trying to combine that with fake info and sell as a real dump

mircea_popescu: i suspect one of the biggest mistakes ever would be to try and rescue the stupidity of global warming by semantics.

nubbins`: i'm waiting for mother nature to pop out and say APRIL FOOLS LELELEL

moiety: i never thought id see the day

cads2: I wonder if in romania nerds simply fail to be socially inept

cads2: I failed to be able to explain to my romanian cousin the notion of "nerd"

[\]: I agree with ThickAsThieves

[\]: so should I get more popcorn?

kakobrekla: oh yeah i forgot to say, take that doctor forehead.

VanCleef: seedcoin is a massive scam i suspect

MisterE: I generally dont give alt coins much creedance but that may be a mistake

MisterE: as fiat was an improvement over exchanging chickens and goats I guess

MisterE: heh in a way I guess

decimation: meanwhile, the NY state regulator on bitcoin (from my link): LAWSKY: Yes, and I think my understanding and it was really from the day-two testimony when I asked that question again about programmable currency that that is one of the things that potentially you could have with the color coding. They also gave an example of a young person whose parents want to give them an allowance but want to make sure that it goes for certain things and not

mircea_popescu: MisterE the best part is this : at the time, if i told a proponent that "govt will just monopolize it" he'd just have loled at me. "what are you talking about, ANYONE CAN ISSUE PAPER"

mircea_popescu: i dun think so for instance

decimation: ANDREESSEN: One of the characteristics of a new idea is all the experts who came up in the old regime look at it and laugh...Almost exactly 300 years ago, a Scottish economist, ironically, named John Law basically invented at the time this crazy idea of paper currency or fiat currency. ... And every economist on the planet 300 years ago thought that he was a complete lunatic. And so I think this is just the story, the recurring story of how

mircea_popescu: now i can't see bespoke without thinking of it.
