a gun to scare you off your phone is the height of idiocy."
artifexd: "Furthermore, putting bitcoins on your phone is probably the goddamn stupidest thing that I've ever heard of. Bitcoins are going to be the world's reserve currency4, and as such fated to rise to prices per coin that dwarf even the outlandish Winklevoss' most media-hungry "predictions". To leave such
a precious commodity within reach of anyone with
a USB
BingoBoingo: There's probably
a command line option to push
a raw transaction on the network in bitcoind.
BingoBoingo: I haven't dug into bitcoind that much. I just run it as

a good strategy? // borrow them from someone
fluffypony: this part: "I learned it last summer when I spent 3 BTC on
a $450 case of wine in Kelowna. Today, I could’ve bought that case for 0.64 BTC, and probably more like 0.1 BTC before long, then 0.001 BTC, etc."

moiety: saves you roaming around, you can do
a lot in-channel
BingoBoingo: bitcoingirl: It's
a bot that reports information.
fluffypony: especially at
a 3 day scale the MACD seems to indicate that some upward movement is due...or it'll just settle back down
fluffypony: use
a 3d or 1d (3 day / 1 day) scale to get
a more macrocosmic view
BingoBoingo: Trying to shape supply and demand can be
a way to lose
a lot of money quickly though.
fluffypony: bitcoingirl: like if someone puts up
a bunch of offers to buy Bitcoin at $450 each totalling $200k, when the market is at $460, that's
a buy wall
assbot: Charles Plosser thinks there’s
a ticking time bomb at the Fed - Capitol Report - MarketWatch

a few hours, but please don't go anywhere, i wanna talk to you whjen i'm back. you can talk to me directly by going /query mircea_popescu whether you have voice or not.
fluffypony: moiety: whenever someone gets arrested for huge amounts of fraud, pedophilia, whatever, they interview all his neighbours and friends and they're always like "we're so shocked, he's such
a nice guy!"
cazalla: TF probably finished his degree and like
a lot of international students, pull
a fast one on credit cards etc etc and piss off back home to avoid paying back the debt
BingoBoingo: I just can't get over TF losing
a decade from his age by becoming insolvent.
fluffypony: moiety: and just to re-iterate, I don't know the guy, so I'm not judging his character either way, I'm just saying that *anyone* with sole control over that amount of money would have
a tough time staying honest
mircea_popescu: bitcoingirl ok but make it quick cause i gotta go to town in
a few minutes.
mircea_popescu: the difference is that i can write
a check for ten millioin dollars to
a stripper, if i feel like it
mircea_popescu: so you gotta have
a big corp to sell overpriced shit to another big corp
mircea_popescu: see, you simply can not write
a check. at all. no sig whatsoever
fluffypony: and once you've stolen
a little it snowballs into "how can I steal the whole lot"

a laugh
mircea_popescu: sooner or later people will come to the realisation that reputation is worth
a helluva lot than money,
mircea_popescu: yeah. the problem is that this take in 4k btc, take
a vacation for half
a year then come back and split
a btc or two to the idiots is really very good business.
moiety: i was
a mod at coinchat then he just gave the thing to me when he left
pankkake: he probably lost them throught CoinLenders. still
a scam, running
a fractionnal reserve is
a scam
moiety: i wasn't really watching the forum through all of this, i knew him in
a different capacity
moiety: and i still dont believe he is
a scammer.
moiety: weev said himself “because it's fucking hilarious to demand money from feds for
a McVeigh Memorial grove,” adding “I honestly think we need to build statues of them just to piss off federal agents really.”
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: Isn't moiety only getting 1 bitcent an hour? and this dude wants 100x that << if people could make
a bitcoin/hour sitting in
a us prison we'd definitely need to increase the block rewards.
fluffypony: yeah, will take
a bit of doing to get through the wall at 500
fluffypony: anarkitty is in the room - she sent me
a message on Reddit 3 hrs ago, so presumably she's asleep now
