dexx: chatquack: the underlying problem: the atm owner acts as escrow between user and exchange and this is appearingly the part is an act of
a money transmission
thestringpuller: it's sovereign by definition so to impose laws on it seems
a bit...moot
chatquack: currency, it may be money transmission depending on how the sovereign currency is handled.
A chatquack: transmission can occur. However, when

chatquack: Consequently, absent the involvement of sovereign currency in
a transaction, no money
chatquack:
a promise to make it available at
a later time or different location is not money transmission.

a zine, i get "
a whale" typed in, and autosuggest says "adopt
a whale and kill it"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wait
a second. what do you mean by "blew" ?
mircea_popescu: In the event of recent news reports and the potential repercussions on tacoX's operations and the market,
a decision was taken to shut down and keep all your money. We will be closely monitoring the situation and will react accordingly.
mircea_popescu: well there were
a few silly people still posting there without trying to scam, but they';re quickly disappearing
mgio_: so wiat, we are all just
a bunch of scammers scamming each other?
danielpbarron: well you can get their news on iTunes; that's
a huge market
mircea_popescu: max keiser & stacy herbert were doing the same thing, which is
a lot worse.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron letstalkbitcoin are
a buncha clueless kids.
danielpbarron:
a lot of the bitcoin media networks are helping promote the scammers; like letstalkbitcoin, they were giving coverage to AuroraCoin recently... that's woefully irresponsible of them

a little from
a lot of muppets then give them
a little of it back in exchange for forum shilling

a really cool system

a few :)

a solid week just reading all the forum posts about all the scams, although I particularly like mircea_popescu's writing on the subject
mgio_: mining is not excatly
a scam, but roughly 3/4s of the companies selling hardware have ben shown to not be reputable
dexx: what i meant was something like.. say there are 10 people each with 100 btc each.. all coins are sent to
a 5-of-10 multisig address. with >= 50 % consensus
a business decision is sealed. << for the sake of an example
danielpbarron: "bitcoin mining is also
a scam" lolol... that's
a pretty broad statement
danielpbarron: i think there will be
a resurgence of scams once the decentralized exchanges go totally live
dexx: well, decentralized exchanges reduce the risk of
a scamming exchange, but that's all
dexx: inb4: "it's not
a scam but
a failed business"

a Clinton/Warren ticket would be far more likely

a place as any to start

a right tizzy for having their .ly domains rescinded because they're clearly against the local customs in .ly)
pankkake: TPB isn't such
a high profile target anymore too
nubbins`: bounce: it's
a .us domain, they can do what they want with it :P
