kakobrekla: also, i accept.
nubbins`: now i'm just teasing
topace: by "the fund" i mena "the funds investors"
topace: considering the mining fund started with an initial investment of less than $10,000 in fiat, and is now at 3TH with no further outside investment, i think its doing pretty well
mircea_popescu: o i remember this thing, it was originally waiting for deliveries for a while.
mircea_popescu: i have never seen nonsense so resilient as the stuff nefario pioneered.

pascal2571: I did not know that
asciilifeform: i'd say the newsmen are hyping up the novelty a bit
ThickAsThieves: I also think disregarding fiat-influence is one of the core areas of ignorance for harming investors
kleeck: I agree.
ThickAsThieves: I think they have not appropriately valuated or structured their offering, all factors considered.
kleeck: The defense is that "we don't measure BTC in FIAT" which I get, sure - but that is one way to quantify value against a fluctuating Bitcoin.

mircea_popescu: i could ask the girl for it but i'd rather not spread the stuff.
bgupta: dub: I guess this was baked in after the 2011 hack? Don't even know what he can do now other than "reboot gox" ;) You'd think rather than "rollback trades" while trading is still open, he'd have to halt trading to sort it out.

Namworld: I always thought Ukyo.Loan was for that purpose.

nubbins`: i'm going to ponder that too-long sentence for the rest of the day
nubbins`: "Now here’s something I gotta say that I get a lot of comment on and this is that I have had guys tell me that they want to impregnate to have their baby, well to let you guys know that I am down for that kind of thing only if my hubby is okay with it because that’s what we did with our second child, so my kids are mines and none our his."
