dexX7: hi b0n1, i can't give you a sophisticated answer, but you may start here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deflationary_spiral
b0n1: hey guys! Yesterday I had an interesting debate with an economist doing research about financial markets regulations who is pretty famous in the academic landscape. When I asked him what he thinks about bitcoin as an alternative currency of an economy he replied pretty fast that due to his limited character it would have the same deflation problem as gold had in the earlier days causing several financial crisis in earlier days! What do you think
mircea_popescu: i see!
devthedev_: And I've also helped starting a Bitcoin related blog
devthedev_: Well, I own a few popular Bitcoin related sites

pankkake: "I'm thinking of selling 10,000 ActM shares for 0.0019 and buying LC @ 0.0007 for 27,142 shares."

kleeck: I think the Labcoin bet is going to be a hard sell at this point.
mircea_popescu: i think that's what they're paid for.
pankkake: I mean before it's accepted
pankkake: oh goatse.fr is back. I thought they got lawyered

mircea_popescu: anyway, i can reach trilema right now
jcpham: i'm supposed to start peering with another isp soon
jcpham: the ads that play sound and video and i can't find them grind my gears
jcpham: i dunno what's going on but some routes are horrific
phungus: I was managing NCSA httpd back then

jcpham: i think i was reading it and then trilema took a dump
pankkake: I like Gentoo ebuilds better :)
mod6: you can just use pkg_add if you really want to use binaries. i like to compile from src cause i guess im just more ninja.
pankkake: I'm thinking of using Debian kFreeBSD for this machine
jcpham: then everything turned debian and i never looked back

mircea_popescu: to keep people amused : meanwhile we found a hole in WHM 11.? for centos. I think I get to write extensively about it later.
pigeons: and he paid the judges fees for that case, i see you mean the rest of it
jcpham: I'm greedy and when people say they will give me something i usually hold them to it
pigeons: oh pay the judges the yearly honorarium or whatever? i thought he paid wences who won his claim
jcpham: maybe I missed something
pigeons: i thought he paid
jcpham: i forget al the details but it's on the internet
jcpham: i skimmed and that's all i got from that conversation
jcpham: can i have root now?
nanotube: well, i assumed that much, though i didn't /know/. :)
nanotube: pigeons: yea, i want to know how to make a convincing mircea impression too. :)
pigeons: i'd like to know if an impression of mircea_popescu's mannerisms was part of the impersonation, and if it is recorded
mircea_popescu: i happen to use different processes for keyring pw and nickserv pw. i guess this isn't necessarily true for everyone
mircea_popescu: for instance for irc banter the fact i'm logged in with nickserv is enough for most people.
nanotube: see, e.g. i don't believe it is you :)
nanotube: mircea_popescu: yea i saw that. just that yesterday there was a placeholder page saying "we're down" and now it isn't even loading.
thestringpuller: I WONDER WHO DID IT
pankkake: btctctct closes trading the 7th I think?
pankkake: there's one guy bidding for a satoshi per share, I hope he gets them eventually
kakobrekla: i presume so
mircea_popescu: I have insider info and they WON'T deliver in September. Again: best case scenario beginning of October. To the guy who asked why I don't bet big to NO: because the risk/reward is too low for me, and I mean that the risk of trusting a substantial amount of coins to a third party (BITBET) opaquely operated by a scumbag (Mircea Popescu) is not worth the risk given the low odds (EG: betting 100BTC to NO pays 107.49182167
jcpham: i've got like 32 posts now
Apocalyptic: "For this task I accept just members of bitcointalk that have at least 150 post (Sorry newbies but I need expert people)" btctalk at its best
pankkake: unless I forgot to put my address in and it was removed because of that. not sure
kakobrekla: ah i see pankkake ill take a look
mircea_popescu: "Then why has it never happened for ripplepay? Why am I not paying a fee to download or upload Ubuntu ISO? Why am I not paying a fee to access this page and submit a post?"
pankkake: I know, but I set it before submitting the form, and it was forgotten
pankkake: kakobrekla: I did put 1 days before resolution, which is invalid; so I got the form again, with all my data except "PLACE YOUR BET ON" which was removed
pankkake: and I didn't check again, so here's why there's a second submission
pankkake: so now I'm procrastining on writing a very simple one
pankkake: I was using a quote bot elsewhere, but it crapped out
pankkake: I love how logo design is a thing as important as developers
mircea_popescu: i mean someone, rather than nobody.
Scrat: i meant the current incarnation, not the old ripple
mircea_popescu: you see something i don't ?
mircea_popescu: hell, i might even look into it if it were maintained by someone reputable.
mircea_popescu: yeah ideally i'd like to see someone fork that shit thus taking out of the pie idiots like coinscam, inc or w/e it's called.
pankkake: "But that's the whole point of open-sourcing: It's one thing we can do to help keep us honest. I believe as long as we continue to live up to our promises, work hard and provide value to users, they will continue to use our network." I must agree
kakobrekla: > misterbigg > I think we're going to see a lot of old posts and websites getting updated with retractions regarding "Ripple is not open source" now. Especially since they are liable for slander (libel?) otherwise.
pankkake: it means I can't bet 0.1 BTC with a friend. which is normal, because it would cost too much for bitbet to resolve
pankkake: it's a good idea, expensive but I get why
the20year1: I was sort of looking at co-listing on another exchange outside of BF , and was gonna go the BTCT route, but that's no longer an option
