mircea_popescu: 're proceeding with
a clear understanding of what you wish to achieve
dignork: mircea_popescu, sorry I had to jump offline for
a bit, back to the using bitbet as
a tumbler, private bets do provide this function, but bitbet.us is not accessible over tor and does not work over
https... pLambert: so, when MtGox goes away in
a day or two, will the price on the other exchanges go back up to 1000?
mircea_popescu: i think he may be trying for
a job in the actual institutions
mircea_popescu: nah they have
a commie kid for mayor, he'll stick till the town sinks.
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: Really? (Jerry shakes his head) Maybe this will become like
a cool thing, living with your parents.
mircea_popescu: Morgan Housel @TMFHousel Critics: Mark Zuckerberg understands the value of social networks better than you do. That's why he's Mark Zuckerberg and you're
a critic.
mircea_popescu: lol it'd be epic if they actually put
a dice system in.
nubbins`: yeah, i guess it's
a bit of
a reach that weeaboos could organize in meatspace
ThickAsThieves: Lawsky: Hard to put the genie back in the bottle. I can't predict the future but Bitcoin is certainly
a new powerful technology that holds
a lot of promise for the future if we can mitigate some of the potential negatives like money laundering.
mircea_popescu:
a GANG of weaboos ? this reminds me of the old mp skit about the evil grannies.
nubbins`: it's
a wonder that
a gang of weeaboos hasn't violently assaulted karplelelel yet
Mats_cd03: they prob emptied
a cold wallet or five before they knee about the bug
Bugpowder:
a hot wallet might have been scooped
Bugpowder: Any actual lawsuit shutdown payout will probably come up with
a market valuation for the BTC and disburse assets accordingly
mircea_popescu: that's
a modest server really spitting out all that shit.
mircea_popescu: it usually fucks him in the ass, but he keeps
a stiff upper buttlip and limps on.
ThickAsThieves: well this is
a guy that has an arsenal of red tape and idiocy at his disposal
mircea_popescu: ask some chick you met in
a bar if she'd agree she's never going to get satisfactorily laid ever again in her life.
ThickAsThieves: i did ask "Would you agree that money laundering is now impossible to stop due to inter-cryptocurrency exchanges and
a global market outside of the US?"
nubbins`: that's like calling
a condom
a pair of pants
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves it's
a power tie. it's what real high power business execs do.
mircea_popescu: desk too low, that thing actually looks like he's moved into his master's house as
a junior slavegirl and they didn't have
a spare room so he got the closet.
nubbins`: i was searching for
a README or something
nubbins`: i suppose that's
a form of instruction
Bugpowder: Trading 101 - How to dollar-cost average
a short: Don’t.
Bugpowder: <cough> Incoming Bitcoin that doesn't exactly match
a quoted sum will be simply kept, reported as profits and distributed to MPEx shareholders.
nubbins`: as
a canadian citizen, i eagerly await my servicing
BingoBoingo: Done right, that could have been
a bigger 1-2 social media coup than Y-Combinator could have imagined.
BingoBoingo: Funny story. After my allegedly disorderly conduct and old acquaintance from way back tried robbing
a bank with
a sandwhich.
BingoBoingo: Oh, robbing banks, the only way to do it wrong has to be carrying
a sadwich, taking the money and walking briskly.
mircea_popescu: pure and simple, they won't be even allowed to come near
a place where someone's robbing
a bank. because 300 hit at 3mn
a piece is
a billion, and nobody can afford to waste
a billion to cover for whatever coupla million in bills you can possibly carry.
mircea_popescu: of course, you will likely die for it. so what ? hardly worth the menton this, if you think that
a) you'll die anyway and b) once the police admin knows that sending the police means hundreds dead or wounded and if not sending the police means nothing they no longer have
a choice.
mircea_popescu: the correct strategy, which is to say the perfect strategy, is to go rob
a bank. if no police shows up, good. if they do, butcher the civillians. which is to say, all ofthem. no mercy, no hesitation, optimize the carnage as to extension.
mircea_popescu: ’ de miliard, iara tu nu poti fura mai mult de citeva milioane in cash, dat fiind ca n-ai cum ii duce. De fapt exact asa s-
a ajuns si la regula ca-ti da bancherul oriciti bani si te lasa sa pleci, singura victorie
a oamenilor antisociali in raport cu societatea din istoria moderna.
mircea_popescu: Sigur, dupa aia cel mai probabil vei muri. Ei, si ? Conteaza mai putin asta, daca te gindesti ca
a) de murit oricum mori si respectiv b) odata ce politistii stiu ca daca vin vor muri sute de civili iar daca stau acasa nu va muri nimeni ei nu mai au de fapt o alegere la dispozitie. Pur si simplu, nu le va da nimeni voie sa se apropie de locul jafului, ca trei sute de morti ori doua milioane bucata pe asigurari vine juma
Mats_cd03: twice the combat load due yo half the weight of
a 763 round
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm just surprised the bore of an M16 is so small like
a ruger plinking rifle.
BingoBoingo: So... I am fairly certain that in this channel I have made comments that limit the set of people who could be me to 1. But Meta-NSA is
a myth.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Interesting is Mizzou reactor breach merely needed
a cab and not
a prosecutor.
Mallstromm: well, you know, in some parts of the world taking
a walk in the center of
a city in top-less is quite awkward
BingoBoingo: Mallstromm: WHat is wrong with
a dude showing some chest if he gets the pussy?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Universities have done worse. When I was at Mizzou their research reactor had
a security breach.
ozbot: The University of Maryland ::
A Public Research University Advancing our State and the World
Mallstromm: in fact i wouldn't know how to survive
a winter in Novosibirsk without drinking petrol
ThickAsThieves: i know i said it already, but i fukn love this fever-tree ginger beer as
a mixer
BingoBoingo: I have such
a solid knot on my forehead. Fuck hail
mircea_popescu: so wait, you aren't an ex securitate agent with
a job in teh ex seci now secl?
mircea_popescu: "BRUSSELS, January 21st, 2014", here's
a picture of some building from romania.
BingoBoingo: Mallstromm: Congrats. I passed that chance up and my brain grew into
a need for lamotrigine.
Mallstromm: BingoBoingo: of course, my background is perfect to grant me
a position in any three letter agency
kakobrekla: >15:35
A new protester has joined and is not happy.
Mallstromm: davout: the fact is that if you ban 'murricans you avoid
a lot of hassle
Mallstromm: davout: there's need to be
a dual-citizenship treaty for that and not many countries have such treaties
davout: Mallstromm: that makes no sense, the concept of
a MSB exists only in the US, for the purpose of doing business with americans
Mallstromm: davout: anyone willing to run
a SERIOUS exchange will probably have to ban most american customers unless they can get MSB license in ALL States. That's kinda unpractical
davout: Mallstromm: no, only
a couple actually
BingoBoingo: davout: Is there
a good way to get fucktons of USD into yout exchange?
davout: Mallstromm: is that
a police complaint?
ThickAsThieves: will you pay
a 10% premium on market price for the LTCs?
