rithm: i see a lot of channels but only some of them light up
bounce: somebody needs to write a banking front-end that actually makes sense. features like ability to feed it your gpg key. I'd write it except I have no contacts with banks so they'll never buy such off of me. (what give software away? to *banks*?)
punkman: Mats_cd03: it was a doge wallet, not sure I care
punkman: well shit, disk just had the CLICK OF DEATH, I think I lost a wallet
mircea_popescu: i think he means a different sort of fraud detection.

Mats_cd03: i did find an excellent pdf on finance earlier today for an aspiring quant
Mats_cd03: CheckDavid: i dunno, khan academy does alright, but i took accounting when i was in university - up to you to find a good resource
CheckDavid: Mats_cd03: I did not. But yes maybe it would
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 i kinda left it unreferenced fishing for noobs tbh. i'm kinda hoping the average clueless yet opinionanted keyboard warrior may pick on it to try and "mock" me.
mircea_popescu: i suppose we'll see another anil dash-esque butthurt explosion followed by trying to date me
Mats_cd03: mircea_popescu: i think the latest post would be better with a link for the tide reference, e.g. http://nymag.com/news/features/tide-detergent-drugs-2013-1/
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu i only know him by reputation, such as it is. yes, some vetting is in order

Dimsler_: i do not understand why anyone cares
Mats_cd03: mircea_popescu: good timing, i just finished brewing coffee
Mats_cd03: CheckDavid: have you considered enrolling in an intro accounting course? i think it would benefit you
bitcoinpete: artifexd noob question: do i rate you as well?
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu benkay and artifexd were generous enough to lend me a few satoshis a week ago, which i duly repaid with interest today so as to learn that variety speak :D
pankkake: …but I should finally be back
CheckDavid: I very much appreciate the stock tip kind sir
CheckDavid: I see.
CheckDavid: I see. So your take is that equity must be allocated to the investors right?
mircea_popescu: there's business and then there's nonsense. i'm sure some kids somewhere are playing with money, but that has no bearing on business.
CheckDavid: I see. But also a model on what to give in return for funding
CheckDavid: 3:53:57 AM mircea_popescu CheckDavid what start-ups specifically. <- you mean to ask which startup specifically I was considering fundraising for?
mircea_popescu: bocobit i read a study that 80% of studies are pure bullshit.
jurov: oh i overlooked the tweet
jurov: such as, traders can claim "no i dispute this trade, wont sign" when market moves unfavorably
bocobit: which makes you think, am i part of that 20%
bocobit: i read a study that says only 20% of people are capable of independent thought
cazalla: ah, he isn't here, i guess i shouldn't assume everyone uses a bouncer
cazalla: i enjoy your articles bitcoinpete, easier read than trilema (for me)
drkow: that's why I hate canada
drkow: oh I'm between toronto/montreal
drkow: I have been getting great value out of my bitcoins by purchasing (probably carded) gift cards
VanCleef: i hope my bitbet gets approved
bitcoinpete: i'm still glad to see people with coin shelling out for legit shit
ThickAsThieves: <kakobrekla> http://stats.bitcoin-assets.com /// neat! i didnt realize i was such a blabber
copumpkin: I turned the heat up again
mircea_popescu: moiety http://i.imgur.com/WrIzsNQ.gif

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That's about the sentiment I've been coming to have about my plot coupons.
kakobrekla: ah i forgot to mention MP re outspamming
mircea_popescu: xdotcomm_ how can it be comparable tho ? i mean... gribble actually ads functionality.
mircea_popescu: the20year3 this "enough of our shareholders complain" tack is bollocks. i complain, and i'll have your head for it, plain and simple.
xdotcomm_: mircea_popescu: i thought it was comporable to irc-bot
mircea_popescu: uh i c.

TestingUnoDosTre: I've been buying all day, and loved it
mircea_popescu: noCHINA it's rare that news actually has any sort of impact on bitcoin prices. people generally like to see patters, but i've seen hundreds of such claims and they were never right.
TestingUnoDosTre: I never said manipulation. I agree with your statement. Where I disagree is when you claimed that this had to do with some news that was released.
MisterE: I cant google up just what % of purchases at large retailers are made with cc
MisterE: still MP that is 55% of small businesses. when I said not taking visa would be a death sentence I was talking about large retailers like Walmart or Safeway. I'm sure CC acceptance and usage is much higher there and it would be a death sentence for them.
TestingUnoDosTre: I don't care how many btc were sold today. China news was basically the same shit that was said before, and it was released like 12 hours or more before the MINI crash
MisterE: I have to admit I'm *very* surprised by the stats in the forbes article
MisterE: I'm not sure if your forbes includes debit cards
mircea_popescu: stop it, read what you're saying before i do.
mircea_popescu: no, i'm just telling you you're being an idiot.
MisterE: I've lived out of the US for 8-years but even before I left cash usage at large retailers was hard to find
MisterE: you're making assumptions that I;m extrapolating what I do to others
mircea_popescu: so in general : i understand you're living your own life. you'll have to understand your own life is irrelevant.
MisterE: where is here? I'm talking about the US
mircea_popescu: i'm even arguing against your counting ability, that's about five statements right there.
mircea_popescu: plastic != visa electron prepaid "i'm poor" cards.
Duffer1: i don't see why they even need to sue
tg2: I rekon I could get a key id with 10 characters the same
tg2: I'll bet against it
tg2: No I was actually working today
tg2: I'm a big proponent you know
tg2: Yah cause I built wot
noCHINA: i lost 50 BTC today on bitfinex because of china. so no china allowed from now on
Duffer1: tg2 i believe they're just interested in vorhees, not necessarily investors
MisterE: at 250 I'll take cash from the CCs
moiety: asciilifeform: did you see MOTD? someone on reddit did it after i posted to photoshopbattles lol
moiety: lolol kakobrekla mine isn't as bad as i thought it would be in that lines list XD
kakobrekla: i would have to fiddle with it anyway.

TestingUnoDosTre: I'm not worried, I'm just scroogin'
TestingUnoDosTre: somebody needs to close this... I've got a very minor stake involved http://bitbet.us/bet/793/bitcoin-to-drop-under-500-before-may/
CheckDavid: I think that's different
TestingUnoDosTre: this is the opportunity I've been waiting for... all week
