nubbins`: what's stopping me from mailing
a key to one of them and then tipping off the cops?
nubbins`: consider that one could send
a kilo of cocaine to
a reviled politician
nubbins`: heh. just
a thought experiment, but all the elements of plausible deniability are there
nubbins`: package arrives, is brought indoors and left on
a table, unopened
nubbins`: you mentioned earlier about the inability to refuse payments to
a published address
nubbins`: i live in
a commonwealth country, caselaw is all we have ;p
mircea_popescu: it merely says X can't come and say here, i have an assigment by nubbins, on his warrant, so please accept MY pgp as
a valid signature to redeem shares.
nubbins`: "...to purchase
a specified number of S.MG shares directly from MiniGame"
nubbins`: that would make for
a strange document indeed
mircea_popescu: well... he's not about to take her on
a date, so it's moot.
nubbins`: what's mpex? all i've got is
a warrant that mentions S.MG
mircea_popescu: and i suppose mpex would be
a 3rd party except it seems moot ? what's the case, mpex wants to buy your warrant outside of itself ?
nubbins`: ^ is MPEx considered
a third party
nubbins`: i eat
a meal at
a restaurant, head to the cash register, "oh sorry we don't take cash"
nubbins`: we're back to ex post facto. payment has
a specific definition
nubbins`:
a warrant holder sends [y] BTC to said address
nubbins`: suppose at some point down the road, S.MG happens to publish
a BTC address that they control
nubbins`: suppose
a warrant holder pays [y] BTC to S.MG, and then announces they don't have an mpex account
nubbins`: but that doesn't preclude
a direct issuance of shares
nubbins`: [SSWs] are numbered and GPG signed instruments which create the right for
a beneficiary specified by GPG fingerprint to purchase
a specified number of S.MG shares directly from MiniGame"
nubbins`: anyway, not trying to be
a pest, but there's
a few points here that i think
a dissection of would be interesting
nubbins`: anyway, the text of the stock warrant and the ipo could be interpreted
a few ways
nubbins`: to perfect the analogy, consider the case where
a gallon if milk is $4 and containers from the farmer cost $6
nubbins`: nah, you can buy milk without
a container. the farmer will happily squirt it into your mouth or on the ground
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic to
a gpg fingerprint yes, but it doesn't have to be
a key.
Apocalyptic: I thought all issued warrants were tied to
a GPG fingerprint of
a registered MPex key
nubbins`: but it would seem that the requirement to purchase an account on mpex or
a broker is an ex post facto condition
nubbins`: well realistically i'm going to hold the warrant for
a very long time
mircea_popescu: but other than that, teh cum is in all respects
a baby.
mircea_popescu: the only difference between the ssw and the share is that the ssw receives no dividends until it becomes
a share.
nubbins`: nothing like
a client that crashes when pasting
nubbins`: "Special Stock Warrants (abbreviated SSW) are numbered and GPG signed instruments which create the right for
a beneficiary specified by GPG fingerprint to purchase
a specified number of S.MG shares directly from MiniGame for
a specified price, no earlier than
a specified date."
nubbins`: holding cum != holding
a baby, but yes
nubbins`: one could in theory "hold" them as
a pgp-signed doc stating ownership of said shares, although i'm not sure what sort of mess that would create
nubbins`: i'm admittedly not an expert in the language of fiance, but as far as i can tell, having an mpex account is not
a requirement for redeeming
a stock warrant
mircea_popescu: nubbins` then you'll have to talk to
a broker to take them for you
Apocalyptic: if you're asking about MPex warrants then yeah mircea will probably be in
a better pos to answer that
nubbins`: on an unrelated note, i had
a couple questions about stock warrants
mircea_popescu: it's
a recent perversion this, and quite atrociously antisocial.
mircea_popescu: yup. but the reason baking is
a required skill is that well... store bought bread is awful
nubbins`: given
a choice between convenience and thrift, people choose the former
nubbins`: you can bring the collected oil to
a garage
mircea_popescu: i never bought
a computer with software preinstalled wtf.
nubbins`: nod, look at windows 8. everyone reviles it, then goes out and buys
a new computer with it preinstalled
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: many had the opportunity to crush ebay, few put in more than
a cursory effort
nubbins`: KRS1: there's been
a "Virtual Currency" category on ebay.ca for
a while. They wait til you've typed out your item description to tell you that you can't list things in there yet.
mircea_popescu: that's like the only block past... hour and
a half or some shit
ArsKisS: KRS1, silly flood is always
a problem
KRS1: didnt think it was
a problem since nobody was here
ArsKisS: is it
a must to spam the bot
KRS1: thats what i want for
a wife..i thought thats the polish type of looks in
a female..german maybe
the20year2: cost to issue
a stock on mpex if eligible is 25-30btc, right mircea?
mircea_popescu: jurov actually the dread pirate guy was
a worse threat.
kakobrekla: not, its closing because its
a window.
pankkake: ebay is good because you are pretty sure you can sell fast at
a good price
pankkake: ebay is
a slow, bulky, money hungry monster. don't think they'll have bitcoin as
a payment anytime soon
pankkake: lol, so they are adding
a category
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you can participate in
a public auction, sure, why not
Apocalyptic: may be
a good way for institutional players to get some coins without wreaking the exchange price
KRS1: nov btc was around $500 this is probably just
a correction
kakobrekla: if you have
a big exposure to btc you can not possibly whine about
a tiny eur usd difference
mircea_popescu: sure, but the thing is...
a triangle is
a triangle. you never know which si the wrong side.
jurov: it's going for
a week already
KRS1: <KRS1> Power_Word: What would you do for
a buttcoin? <Power_Word> I'd cut ur name in my chest
mircea_popescu: it boggles my mind that they can somehow put 1mw through
a propeller
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess
a nuclear sub could actually hash pretty well.
kakobrekla: tastings sets prooved to be
a nice new years gift.
MCM-Mike: never tried Yamazaki, will give it
a try . did you give it away because you didnt like it or as
a gift ? :)
kakobrekla: speaking of drinks, i just gave away
a bottle of www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/yamazaki-12-year-old-whisky/?srh=1

the20year: this is
a 2 bedroom house with
a 2 car garage and
a basement
mircea_popescu: well... does anyone here have
a betsofbitco.in account can verify if they split or not yet ?
the20year: Gonna go look at
a house tomorrow, hoping to pick it up under $10k
the20year: correct, and thus why the s hareholders rejected the motion initially, but i'm now free to try to be
a little more creative
