MisterE: and Iceland is on the same track so in retrospect I'm glad I stayed put
moiety: i like to top comment re judge judy BingoBoingo

ninjashogun: I mean, I forget the name of the link, but it has the term "fyrstikken" in it.
MisterE: MP: I see that monthly statement, bummer month, but anyways what am I missing about a derivatives connection? the bonds market?
ninjashogun: moeity - I was kind of invited by someone - not sure if he's a scammer. (that means he probably is.)
moiety: thats not what i meant
ninjashogun: moiety- I have not listed on any crypto stock site.
BingoBoingo: radan: I prefer 0.5.11 to newer multibit releases
ninjashogun: wait I do want an answer to my question above on why anyone would invest in crypto stocks - don't people with money to invest have standards?
ninjashogun: I am OP I will give you voice.
CheckDavid: Oh I see

MisterE: I hope this is the stability we've been looking for
blackwhite: Apocalyptic i get how it works and nothing prevents them from removing a lot of small amount other than that kind of consitution the same as a large amount. If they have to do it over a month then I would most probably know.
gribble: I don't recognize you.
Apocalyptic: i'm not sure you get how it works
radan: can I wager money on mpoe
blackwhite: so I am saying setup a company who look for suspicius deals or have a whitelist of larger transactions. (i.e. tell this company when you are going to make larger transactions)
blackwhite: yeah sure. But I am pretty sure one of the problems is that they are not looking and monitoring all the time
blackwhite: sorry not sure I understand?
moiety: ninjashogun: why yes, only yesterday i learned the voice of siri was the voice for the very first atm (tillie the teller i believe) << such history
ninjashogun: I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime :) :) :)
BingoBoingo: benkay: I don't think it is proper to separate the shenanigans of the two
moiety: i like this one
moiety: Did Izzy ever re-appear? sorry i wasn't around
gribble: yes I am gribble. why do you keep bothering me?
moiety: i would quite like my wot untainted :P
moiety: i will change this though
ninjashogun: Mats_cd03, no, but I think that you will find in looking at Fiat that the fact that the money supply is unilaterally increased by letting banks put more into circulation than existed - and that the rate of this is a total unknown - does not deter people from using and holding USD.
benkay: i want an ignore that works on anyone who's unrated by people i've rated
BingoBoingo: ninjashogun: I mean the thing they need to do is stop, and the time for them to have done so was last winter
ninjashogun: Let me make an analogy. (I might have the facts totally wrong). IN the seventies or eighties (no real idea on the decade, I'm guessing) the U.S. found that some third-world country had either stolen some of the mint's machinery, or gotten their hands on perfect reproductions. It could make undetectable counterfeit dollar bills.
ninjashogun: I understand that.
benkay: i judge stochastically these days ninjashogun
benkay: man if i had a btc for every time i've read that
ninjashogun: I know.
ninjashogun: I understand this.
ninjashogun: (as are in YOUR accounts, I mean)
ninjashogun: I'll explain.
ninjashogun: However, I will say one thing. At a macro level there is no FDIC, nor bailout.
ninjashogun: yes I saw that
TestingUnoDosTre: So apparently I've been living under a bush for a while, but the creator of Candy Crush was apparently successful at generating cash flow?
ninjashogun: I meant to write the word "options" instead of the word "rounds"
blackwhite: i saw http://www.hivewallet.com which is interesting
ninjashogun: http://i.minus.com/itOALVKyDoZDB.gif
nubbins`: so i don't always appreciate it
nubbins`: it's not often i straight-up download large files
nubbins`: i gotta say, i'm happy with my internet service
nubbins`: from what i can tell, they're about an order of magnitude off their trading volume predictions
ninjashogun: I was just watching that
benkay: and i guess bitcoin is just a protocol and so this thing is additively good
CheckDavid: But yeah. I am not talking about just some random alt
Mats_cd03: CheckDavid: i speak from a place of ignorance re: mastercoin so dont mind me
CheckDavid: If I interpreted what you meant by that properly
CheckDavid: Mats_cd03: but I think master coin doesn't have any alt chain
Mats_cd03: alright i need a drink
benkay: i know crypto on cloud is anathema but OOOOH THE TEMPTATION
ninjashogun: (I have a good impression so far.)
ninjashogun: (by the way CheckDavid and I are on skype now, and we may be collaborating on the jobs thing. I talked with him for a couple of hours total, don't know him personally yet but we're on skype.)
Mats_cd03: i'm confused by the website, "Mastercoin To Create New Altcoins In Bitcoin’s Block Chain" is the title of a press release
ninjashogun: Mats_cd03, I meant is a nick from one of the contributors in here. I should have asked in #bitcoin
