bitcoinpete: "BitPesa’s fee will be
a flat 3%. BitPesa handles the entire transfer on both ends; users buy bitcoins on the one end, and recipients receive Kenyan shillings on the other."

A lot of it was directed at BFL, it is one of the better parts of forum history
BingoBoingo: I imagine physical lite coins might suffer
a bit of
a discount over C's bitcoins do the their creator, Smoothie's righteous trolling
nubbins`: even ebay is
a poor barometer in this regard
nubbins`: he's also asking #30k for
a 5btc casascius and #34k for
a 25btc casascius
nubbins`: 25s are
a bit harder to move because not everybody has (25* [ticker --last]) in spare change to blow on
a coin
bitcoinpete: there seems to be
a decent number of the 10s for sale. pretty much zero 25s
bitcoinpete: ;;later tell nubbins`i have
a couple of the lealana physical coins (2x10, 2x25) but i'm having
a hard time figuring out what they're worth. could you point me in the right direction?

pankkake: assuming there's
a market for those
fluffypony: pankkake: so even if he only has half of his 9 billion XRP left that's still
a cool US $15 million
BingoBoingo: I'm wondering when the heard will start calling out CoinDesk for constantly leading them over the cliff into the jaws of
a Manul like
a bunch of lemmings
fluffypony: losing privkeys in multibit isn't
a great feature
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Sure, but I liked the old Multibit random wallet. That and electrum made
a nice pair providing different kinds of addresses for different purposes.
fluffypony: "meaning that you will be able to regain access to addresses created by MultiBit HD with
a single ‘seed’ passphrase." - oh nice, so basically what Electrum has had for, what, 2 years?
pankkake: and used it as
a way to never release proof of new things he was claiming to do
pankkake: he blamed his failure to have chips on
a "troll"
fluffypony: dub: I wonder how long it's going to be till Ken Slaughter pulls
a Danny and skips the country because of threats?

gribble: the code is
a valid currency on your target market. Default currency is USD.

a different color hair
bitcoinpete: i imagine
a west african tribal village with mp dressed as
a shaman
Duffer1: i imagine .bait models dancing around
a shrine of spreadsheets
nubbins`: what in the world is purposeful about
a bunch of molecules smacking into each other?
princessnell: ok, but i'm not sure how that addresses "this opens up
a large debate as to whether life has purpose. i happen to hold that it doesnt."
princessnell: mircea_popescu and in that they become unhuman. basically
a major point of that article is that this desperate clutching at straws, people trying to retain their people-relevance in economics is
a little lulzy. there's no room for politics in economy. << i am excited to learn more about this non-political economy you have discovered!
princessnell: bitcoinpete that often includes children, but this isn't
a necessity << right, Hamilton's law
bitcoinpete: that often includes children, but this isn't
a necessity
princessnell: mircea_popescu: this opens up
a large debate as to whether life has purpose. i happen to hold that it doesnt, which informs the choice of vocabulary. it'll have to be translated (apolitic ?) to avoid linking that dependency in there. << on the most basic level the purpose of life is to keep living. everything else is window dressing but the actions they adorn reveal
a necessary performative acknowlegement.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Maybe not as
a whole system, but as
a case... Unfortunately it isn't priced for parts.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If I ever get bored enough to take up metalworking as

artifexd: I remember
a story from the early 90's about people coming to the US from Russia and getting stuck in the supermarket because they couldn't choose
a toothpaste due to the number of choices.
pankkake: Fedora is pretty good. Ubuntu with less insanity. Perhaps with
a smaller community
artifexd: Any recommendations for
a linux desktop? Requirements: It would mostly be used for dev work and standard internet user stuff and I have to be able to run Windows in
a VM (work requires Visual Studio).
assbot: Roumenv Rouming - Zbavn
a zajmav obrzky - smart girl
jurov: cuz i'm at
a party atm, just wanted to shut down my lappy
thestringpuller: yea that's my project for the weekend pankkake just been
a bit lazy
benkay: if havelock wanted to enable naked short selling they could do that in half
a second
benkay: if the US stock market wasn't running on 60s technology with no idea if
a given broker actually had the things they were selling, this wouldn't be
a problem.
benkay: this however is an artifact of
a totally hilariously antiquated system, non?
benkay: the myth of
a stable market is sold to consumer investors to legitimize state intervention in the markets.
benkay: bit of
a collateralization problem, though.
benkay: pankkake: sounds like
a neat synthetics project.
Apocalyptic: <benkay> HeySteve: outlawing market manipulation is
a fools errand. those with the cash to throw around are going to do so regardless of the regulatory environment and do so all the time. << pretty much benkay
BingoBoingo: benkay: Well, you want to know how much it will crash? Why not seek
a guestimate from the source?
benkay: HeySteve: outlawing market manipulation is
a fools errand. those with the cash to throw around are going to do so regardless of the regulatory environment and do so all the time.
pankkake: benkay: I was thinking of starting
a general shorting fund - sell shares that mimic shares in every way (pay same divs, buyback at vwap after X months). sell the shares at
a discount to make them more appealing than real shares
BingoBoingo: benkay: Shame Mr. Ohio is
a wonder place isn't here to !up and ask that question to.
benkay: HeySteve: i don't see the problem. sucker bought shit paper from
a firm with
a big fucking stick. firm used the stick to make the market do what they wanted.
assbot: "I Am Hoping For
A Mini Puke": Details Of Barclays' Gold Manipulation | Zero Hedge
bitcoinpete: there honestly aren't enough hours in
a day to document "all the scams"
bitcoinpete: only occasionally beating
a scam to
a pulp when the mood and/or opportunity arises.
bitcoinpete: thestringpuller: the point of the "wallet inspector" term is that everything is
a scam until proven otherwise
thestringpuller: bitcoinpete: lets make
a historical archive of all scams like we discussed before
pankkake: but I hope davout loses because Paymium sucks ass for
a name
BingoBoingo: “It is not
a question of fault,” Kasten said. “As I said, the action of removing

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CryptoNight <- the wiki says that, the whitepaper says otherwise. even the site says "Our algorithm requires about 2 Mb per instance" - whoever edited the wiki is clearly
a turd.
