a good fit for you and run with it. they're like... at LEAST weekly occurences.
mircea_popescu: people are constantly asking "well how to acquire respek and
a wot weight". this is *precisely* how
mircea_popescu: course this probably understates bitbet controlled btc, seeing how if
a large chunk is used to make
a small payment the remainder is still bitbet's, but anyway
mircea_popescu: anyone bored could make
a tool to add up the balances in publicly displayed addies as an open audit thing
davout: yes, the bitcoin community totally has
a history of learning from lessons
mircea_popescu: "The Bitcoin community will surely learn
a number of lessons from the Mt. Gox disaster, and here is
a simple one: when investing in Bitcoin, make sure the guy you're trusting with your money doesn't have
a secret past committing fraud. Even if that means finding someone who knows French."

locksmith: also, something not said anywhere else: danny announced to his employees on thursday the 13th that he was left in his wallet with 100btc while someone overlooked into his pc and saw
a bitstamp account with WAY more than that
ozbot:
A new forum or board is required : neobee
locksmith: I haven't called scam. all I'm saying is that they got to
a point where they can't pay back their creditors. i.e. they owe over 150,000 euros to their marketing/pr firm Telia & Pavla BBDO
antephialtic: regardless of the tradeing being stopped, surely
a competent/engaged CEO would have issued
a statement to reassure investors?
mircea_popescu: antephialtic i dunno that scam was ever seriously argued other than as
a technicality.
antephialtic: locksmith, seems like
a very elaborate scam, no? why not just steal all the money after the IPO, why go to all the trouble of building
a storefront and advertising, etc.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves locksmith these things seem
a little contradictory.
ThickAsThieves: Neo compliance officer did make
a formal recommendation to halt
mircea_popescu: havelock is under
a lot of pressure because all their scammy assets are turning into
a visible loss, so rather than man up to it they prefer to simply close trading as the bubbles pop.
mircea_popescu: antephialtic my own theory, as
a completely uninvolved observer, is this :
novusordo: "Coinbase provides your full transaction history to the FBI, FinCEN and IRS every day. They are under
a gag order."
mircea_popescu: the log's even better : mircea_popescu:
a hair MPOE-PR you "whai : are of sausage
a finger?!" pubic with muffin
nubbins`: why is mpoe-pr
a muffin of pubic hair with
a sausage finger?
mircea_popescu: MPOE-PR : "whai are you
a muffin of pubic hair with
a sausage finger?!"
mircea_popescu: nubbins` do you have
a @twitter or too hipster for THAT too, in adition to atc ?
mircea_popescu: sooo.... someone just sent
a 2btc donation to mah trilema credits address ?
antephialtic: and as
a form of social engineering to make the capital markets more stable
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you really must ask
a tax accountant that.
cazalla: VanCleef: I googled that - chinese bitcoiners executed, first result is
a laugh
mircea_popescu: there's
a reason we don't trust the bitcoin scam foundation bunch.
cazalla: "Coinbase provides your full transaction history to the FBI, FinCEN and IRS every day. They are under
a gag order."
mircea_popescu: it is
a scam, obviously. it's not without coinbase's involvement tho, which is what i mean. htey're using the same infrastructure
a legit merchant would be using.
jurov: ⚠ URGENT: Сoinbase hacked. We just sent you

mircea_popescu: ColdHardMetal always
a risky proposition, bitcoin divestment for fiat. who knows, maybe in
a decade i live to regret it :p

a plea bargain
antephialtic: it would probably be easier to just bribe
a gmx employee
antephialtic: i've tried before, but after 3 (uninformed) guesses, the account got temporarily locked. Seems pretty reasonable to do over
a long period of time (assuming gmx isn't smart enough to stop it)
mircea_popescu: kinda looking forward to
a full edition mp space cadet kbd.
antephialtic: its
a bit sentimental for the crypto-anarchist type, but I enjoy it nonetheless
nubbins`: ^ is that
a button or
a switch? ;D
nubbins`: "In March 2006, [journalist Michael] Crowley wrote
a strongly critical review of State of Fear, focusing on Crichton's stance on global warming. In the same year, Crichton published the novel Next, which contains
a minor character named "Mick Crowley", who is
a Yale graduate and
a Washington D.C.based political columnist. The character was portrayed as
a child molester with
a small penis. The
nubbins`: crichton was interesting in that he's the only novelist i can think of who included
a lengthy bibliography in each book

a much bigger board ? this topic deserves some attention
nubbins`: i, for one, am looking forward to warmer summers, if not
a drastic increase in the price of food
mircea_popescu: because the tropics suck ass, because they had run
a welfare system for centuries.
mircea_popescu: mass migrations out of the tropics have been
a thing since the 50s
antephialtic: mp: yeah the hacker claimed to have found
a file on their server called "compliance_dailysftp.rb" that uploaded
a daily dump to IRS/FinCEN/FBI
mircea_popescu: they also released the known but apparently not widely known fact that coinbase is forwarding all tx history to teh us alphabet soup on
a daily basis.
antephialtic: yeah I suppose they could have just used the emails to google for the names and then released that as
a "partial dump"
mircea_popescu: as someone said, when therer's
a cockroach in plain sight, that's never the only cockroach around.
