mircea_popescu: i dunno man. seems it's big biz.
BingoBoingo: Shit, It would be less than a 12 Km drive to asciilifeform if I wrote off the necessary distance that happens on US 40
kakobrekla: ;;ticker --buy everything FUKKEN nao i SAID for btc gimmeh price plox
dexX7: i want to see where we'd end
MAKABEakira: he -10'd you, if i am reading it right. he banned me from mtgox for having the temerity to suggest he might be helping a crime happen
mod6: BingoBoingo: I havent seen Chozen yet, its funny though huh?
MAKABEakira: mircea_popescu, wp. i didn't consider that at all
dexX7: i heard dogecoin has a time between blocks of 1 min
MAKABEakira: 22 min typically. sometimes we go over. and by sometimes i mean every time
MAKABEakira: mircea_popescu, i'll update you after i due dilly on this plan a bit.
mircea_popescu: MAKABEakira in principle it is externalisable, but in practice it's a problematic point, because if you scam the users on my trademark i'll have to kill you.
BingoBoingo: mod6: I'm actually starting to like it's followup Chozen. Reminds me of Bitcointalk last summer.
BingoBoingo: MAKABEakira: Why a Baron. Maybe I'm a duke. Maybe I am far less. Perhaps just a footman, or even a much lesser hallboy.
mircea_popescu: out of that 1% i'll have to justify someone sitting with eyes glued to your thing
MAKABEakira: mircea_popescu, we wont do it if we cannot. i didn't even consider this idea till you brought up bitbet, but i like the prospects.
BingoBoingo: MAKABEakira: Well, honesly this got less interesting when you said game show. Honestly I was hoping you'd say drama, like The Blacklist, Almost Human, Archer, Chozen, or Hannibal
MAKABEakira: i am working with a team that produces a nationally syndicated game show on US TV
mircea_popescu: nah i imagine he meanwhile got bored
mircea_popescu: anyway, since we're discussing bitbet, i dunno if this was ever published, but
joecool: oh well, i respect the mystery
grubles: who owns the other half, if I might ask?
joecool: how do i know you're not trolling right now?
mircea_popescu: joecool i rarely troll.
joecool: mircea_popescu: i never can tell if you're serious or trolling most of the time, imma roll with it though
MAKABEakira: mircea_popescu, i am not up to speed on bitbet. are they buy|sell|trold?
mircea_popescu: what i don't love is how many people need to be hurt into comprehending that they're better off following than trying to lead.
MAKABEakira: dexX7, good catch. i love the way they float the ideas until they coalesce into precipitate. makes the fanclub think that these things 'just appear' somehow
dexX7: the plans of the sm exchange go back to at least november. a "ny based exchange" was mentioned several times during the senate hearings and i guess that's no coincidence. also a bitlicense was promoted via the press at that time.
BingoBoingo: MAKABEakira: What I mean is if you want to run something as a "Trust" for patrons, you do indeed need to dogfood it instead of depositing with Gox.
Duffer1: i expect they'll still try to do an exchange, i have doubts about longevity of the venture though
MAKABEakira: BingoBoingo, agreed :D but i think they are interested in making their own dogfood
MAKABEakira: i am sure there were some. i think it's more of PR 'not it' move
Duffer1: if they had traders on gox then i doubt they're fit to run an exchange of their own
MAKABEakira: apologies i was under impression this was watercooler talk everywhere. don't shoot
MAKABEakira: nm i shdnt type while on phone. Barry Silbert - SecondMarket
MAKABEakira: fred i mean
MAKABEakira: is barry seibert really going ahead with this. last i heard it was a string of "we hope our partners" this and "if regulation" that, but so far, tumbleweeds
Duffer1: i doubt the suckers he scammed have forgotten
MAKABEakira: i assume so but not sure if you have 'fans'
MAKABEakira: i assume so, but. mimcs cc.
mircea_popescu: what do you mean am i me me
dexX7: B007: well i once paid a tiny amount and can enjoy trilema probably for lifetime. that's comfort vs. "need to reset my ip now and then"
mircea_popescu: i mean some people are just deliberately being stupid, but in many more cases people just don't have the info, at all.
mircea_popescu: kinda why i encourage people to blog and so forth, make good info a little more accessible.
MAKABEakira: would have ff a lot of wtf if i found trilema 6 months ago instead of last month. btc infospace is a formidable fog of war for newbs
nubbins`: i used to be with this ISP and if you connected a switch to your dsl modem, they'd give a public ip to every connected machine
nubbins`: congrats, where did i leave my gold stars...
moiety: hey i didn't know there was a thread! didn't they take enough crap regarding BFL ads?!?!
BingoBoingo: There was a thread in Meta, I'll dig it up
moiety: i'm not sure how to start it i just want it. does that make any sense?
moiety: THATS ^ what i said other day!!!
mircea_popescu: tho i don't seem to find any proper proof, like signatures.
BingoBoingo: Well, when ButtStamp dies this fall, I reckon people outside the WoT will largely be outside of BTC forever.
mircea_popescu: i'd like to lay the thing out so it can be followed.
dexX7: i agree and i expected something such a reaction. you don't need to convince me or something
moiety: ok. i woke up. i have no idea wtf ive been thinking for the past ....months. *new leaf*
Duffer1: i ish
nubbins`: i'm trying to track down a brass 2011 series-2
mircea_popescu: anyway, that aside, i appreciate the humour of jess powell signing statements,
mircea_popescu: i am saying that either the firestartr thing is an outright fraud,
mircea_popescu: i would like to know why other stuff like spylog or begun aren't listed there
kakobrekla: fuck i just found out that bitcoin does indeed pay interests
mircea_popescu: i think perhaps you're unfamiliar with what an audit is ?
kakobrekla: careful there, one day he wont be able to reach it. the bar i mean
nubbins`: i hope ninjashogun comes back later and pesters us into giving him money
Bunnyh: from what i can tell it looks like bitstamp isn't using any spf rules on their domain, wouldn't that block many phishing attempts?
dexX7: but nevertheless i think they were attacked, the number of reports of spam to bitstamp users is very, very high
Bunnyh: i had only 6 BTC there so unless everyones withdraws were blocked at that time, i can't imagine it was any kind of liquidity problem
Bunnyh: i got that too a few weeks ago. i got an email too, which explained that withdrawal was blocked because of attempted phishing attacks, and i had to contact support
kakobrekla: i dunno what difference does it make, its btc we are talking bout
kakobrekla: yes, lel, the guy making the shot mentioned i should look at css.
jurov: i did not get the overstock spam, should i fear i'll be left behind by impending rapture?
dexX7: sometimes i wonder why such experts dare to think their contribution was asked for in the first place
mircea_popescu: dub i thought the monkeys gave us aids
bitcoinpete: I wish I had an answer
mircea_popescu: Investors possessing those characteristics are in a small minority, but we have an exceptional collection of them. I believe well over 90% - probably over 95% - of our shares are held by those who were shareholders of Berkshire or Blue Chip five years ago. And I would guess that over 95% of our shares are held by investors for whom the holding is at least double the size of their next largest. Among companies
mircea_popescu: i don't see why it would be a bad thing.
mircea_popescu: the 401k is b*i type.
Plaxant: mircea_popescu I don't know
mircea_popescu: easier to "find" satoshi i guess.
mircea_popescu: so what i want to know is, how many accounts that traded on the pre-gaap release were frozen by the sexc
the20year2: Yeah , i don't know though if it's illegal to issue non-gaap reports
the20year2: an0 looks pretty simple, and my idea was to publish something non-gaap anyways since i don't think we can count bitcoin in that, and we'll always have btc balances onhand, so I planned on issuing non-gaap reports at the same time the gaap ones were done (TSLA does that)
mircea_popescu: the20year2 i'll bet you you'll be giving up on the gaap style within 12 reporting periods
the20year2: I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to publish an0 + gaap reports
joecool: nubbins`: i've tested this theory, writing various things like "I STOLE THIS CARD" on the signature pad
joecool: true heh, in canada i use magstripe and it throws off all the clerks
joecool: ie. if i walk into a store with a stolen magstripe you don't know i have, i can purchase goods and even if there's a chargeback, it only claws back from the store those goods were bought at
mircea_popescu: not what i meant. what i meant was, fraudster sells the merchandise to ignorant buyer, gets irreversible payment from him
thestringpuller: but I don't think the proxy decrypts trades just announces
thestringpuller: i was talking more about an attacker getting access to mpex key via the proxy
joecool: i've seen more than a few domains get jacked from social engineering, the best are ones that clone the site, set up shop somewhere without many laws (romania?), then monetize the stolen site
mike_c: i take that to mean they aren' very successful
mircea_popescu: if i ever watched tv perhaps that'd sound like a lot more.
dexX7: well, i can't say that anything i ever wrote lead to a tv serie
mircea_popescu: i thought this existed.
dexX7: hey guise what do you think about a blockchain postcard service? users submit a message which is then posted via op_return. i bet some devs would love the idea! :D
benkay: plus, what do i look like, a trader?!
benkay: i've already decided on that strategy. i think rent plays are a red herring.
benkay: cuz i r lazy
