mrstickball: Duffer1: right. I just thought it was unfathomably odd that there's
a John W that killed himself due to fraud like that in
a similar window of time
mrstickball: so that was
a dead end, at least from what I saw
mrstickball: but all the digging I did for
a Jon W turned up
a securities guy that stepped in front of
a bus and killed himself due to.......get this.........securities fraud
fluffypony: I have no idea, spoke to her on the phone
a few times and she seemed quite nice
fluffypony: Duffer1: well there's
a lot to be said for
a succession plan
fluffypony: he's
a nice fellow, I'm just letting sleeping dogs lie atm till I figure out my next move
Duffer1: ciphermine shareholders are U-N-H-
A-P-P-Y
mrstickball: you can make
a killing there if it works right
mrstickball: its
a good racket for the people selling the contracts
TestingUnoDosTre: This maybe
a stupid question, but can those miners return
a positive roi any more?
mrstickball: so we're looking to work with them to put Bitcoin mining hardware in most states. I know our webstore needs
a site revision (working on that currently)
mrstickball: I also snagged
a >$50,000 order from
a major US computer retailer
mrstickball: We do
a lot of mining business on EBay, Amazon, through the eStore
fluffypony: the latter ones are also very good templates for how to do
a LoC
mrstickball: just landed
a contract with
a US retailer to bring mining products to 3 dozen US stores
fluffypony: I wonder how the Lending section on Bitcointalk would react to
a LoC listing ala DeathAndTaxes?
mrstickball: I want to make it larger..
a fair bit larger
TestingUnoDosTre: Personally, I would find
a small group of people to invest initially before ipo ing on
a public exchange
TestingUnoDosTre: But they would moat likely have
a lot less capital to toss around
fluffypony: TestingUnoDosTre: you'd have
a lot more nervous (dangerous) traders
TestingUnoDosTre: But in all honesty, I haven't invested
a satoshi in any of these businesses
TestingUnoDosTre: I do think there was quite
a bit of discontent with the satoshi dice closing
mrstickball: They haven't listed any independent companies in
a year if I am reading that right
TestingUnoDosTre: Methinks the best chance to gain
a profit was purchasing at IPO
mrstickball: That is
a possibility, but again.. the dividends don't bear that out
davout: yeah, that would be
a solution
fluffypony: because anyone "in the know" won't use
a webwallet
davout: but i can think of quite
a few reasons why that would be
a bad idea anyway
fluffypony: davout: is Instawallet indefinitely dead or are you still peripherally working on
a resurrection?
kakobrekla: anyway , cant sit anymore, going for
a walk
fluffypony: when you've got an scrypt coin with the entire network hashrate of < 20mh/s it's
a joke to end up on
a fork
fluffypony: kakobrekla: I think they're just on
a dogecoin fork and are reloading the blockchain from scratch
kakobrekla:
a few years back there were still holes from grenades in sarajevo
kakobrekla: call me if im not in
a hotel ill be near mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: jurov
a no, just, made the impression you were hoping for something serious
mircea_popescu: ima go pick up mike and then have
a drink with you two
kakobrekla: (to be taken with
a grain of salt, excluding crypto parts !)
jurov: but i got sick anyway, better stay here
a day and get better
jurov: i could go
a day earlier, too
bitcoinpete: there's
a reason li ka-shing made
a token investment in bitpay: best way to buy off-market coins is off merchants
gribble: herbijudlestoids was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 week, 2 days, 15 hours, 5 minutes, and 53 seconds ago: <herbijudlestoids> BingoBoingo: if someone wanted to offer hosting services, do you think most people are after
a VPS with SSH access? or just
a VPS with
a panel?
benkay: bare minimum for
a 3 is that i've done biz witcha.
benkay: there's
a bit of inflation at the bottom end. i'm willing to +1 for #bitcoin-assets voice, and +2 people I know to be people and not terrifically scummy.
BingoBoingo: benkay: Sometimes I long for the days when the smell of cunt juice on the fingers was
a new smell
BingoBoingo: benkay: For some people doing
a lot is showering once in
a week. For other people not doing much is working 18 hour days.
elgrecoFL: I excel in channel idling. This may be my first time ever speaking here in over
a year.
gribble: Error: "whosurmom" is not
a valid command.
gribble: You rated user gribble on Sun Mar 2 22:05:31 2014, with
a rating of -10, and supplied these additional notes: knows damn right who I am.
BingoBoingo: Not merely thinking one is adequate for such
a thing, but thinking one was too good at such
a thing to have gotten away with it.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sure, but such
a thing is just
a hypertrophic form of Dunning-Kreuger
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well there is such
a thing as thinking they're too smart for their own good
BCB: BingoBoingo, I don't think he ever saw
a future in bitcoin. He just saw it as
a way to make
a quick buck. He was too smart for his own good.
BingoBoingo: BCB: There are far worse things than that. He is going to see the future he could have been
a part of, but was exiled from in its infancy
mircea_popescu: and everyone with
a legal inclination, if you have
a moment, pls to read.
BCB: anyone interested in
a 25 BTC Casascius Coin
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Remember that BitBet has worse fates than
a refund for the late.
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre well, the life of
a late bettor is hard. if you get in, you get in. however, if you don't you don't, and it's the mod that makes the call.
mircea_popescu: bet
a day early and get refunded, then you got something.
mircea_popescu: bitbet is not
a good venue to be doing this sorts of "oh but i bet x seconds before it ticked".
mircea_popescu: that's what
a taxman does, in all tiumes and places. it's the fundamental conservative mechanism of
a society.
peterl: as long as the charity gave you
a receipt, I don't see why there would be any hassle?
mircea_popescu: people with actual tax accountants who get actual advice (ie, the people in
a position to make meaningful donations) don't do stupid shit because that;'s what happened to be in front of their eyes that hour.
peterl: well, according to IRS rules, couldn't you claim
a bitcoin donation as charitable donation for tax purposes?
mircea_popescu: but try and talk it to the fucktards who have some shit impacted in their head which they misrepresent as an idea, and then try to use everything they encounter on the road as shit-amplifyer, instead of using it as
a shit removing device.
mircea_popescu: this is
a stupid idea, because in general charity is powered by tax deductions.
bitcoinpete: donating bitcoin to charity will "not only will it help
a worthy charitable cause, it will also contribute to the future success of Bitcoin:" <<obviously lol
peterl: they have
a list of people they already picked to honor (themselves), and they had to come up with
a category for everybody?
mircea_popescu: i should probably make
a pie throwing contest, give 10 btc to the best thrown pie to the face of these losers.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: lol that doesn't leave
a lot, does it
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: and that times, they are
a changing. so fast that history is useless
peterl: yeah, sure, give me
a minute
mircea_popescu: peterl can you post that again in something that's not
a hairball of js ? like
a pastebin say. or
a wp blog or something.
BingoBoingo: The de/in-flation discussions always have
a next time
mircea_popescu: hear ye of little competence : i am and i have been doing
a shitload better than you ever did, to the degree the differential is culture-shocking people.
mircea_popescu: i guess it's all
a testament to the SEC's historical success in controlling insider trading.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why people insist to try and use
a knowledge advantage. fucking thing has about 700 bells and whistles pointing out you'll get hurt in all likeliness
mircea_popescu: where enough is
a value roughly in excess of hard infinity.
Azelphur: "Oh shit I lost... NOPE IT WAS ALL
A BIG JOKE HAHAHA"
Azelphur: that was pretty funny "This bet is serious business, if you place the bet and loose then don't pay, you will be marked as
a scammer and banned"
mircea_popescu: Duffer1: sorry man that all was before my time, not sure what all happened << mnw figured he'd be
a smartass, bet everyone pirate will deliver (after default). 10k btc, which he obviously lost, which he then reneged on (pretending he's "delivering" by simply writing 10k BTC in
a foirum post) and got banned.
