mircea_popescu: the sucker, let him be known as s, is in a rush. he has not the time to completely consider things, and this is built on a lengthy historical tradition of the same : he also "did not have the time" to properly consider functional analysis in highschool,
mircea_popescu: in the end scammer and scamee make a tuple.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is an exceedingly difficult proposition. my current belief is that mostly they're stupid in a different way.
asciilifeform: the way i see it, it's rather like a farmer lamenting that a rotting deer carcass in his field is being eaten by maggots, rather than himself
asciilifeform: but the people doing the fleecing, presumably have a bit more brain, and will do something moderately intelligent
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 you recall the guy a day or two ago with the "200% is 200% no matter how you cut it" ?
mircea_popescu: does a guy in a pink hat appear to be a pimp ?

Duffer1: i'm not even a little bit, never claimed otherwise
Duffer1: they appear to be making a try at a legal exchange
mircea_popescu: in the end it's just a blank stare with a "wat"

gribble: Error: "gank" is not a valid command.

kakobrekla: i mean, he got kilos of btc from just keepin a forum up and he even fails at that
BingoBoingo: Even though he is a hella negative body
BingoBoingo: HE says Garr is a major body
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: I'm not telling you you are nobody. I say you are a good body. Thermos though....
BingoBoingo: What do I know about the 'Murican justice system though? All I have ALLEGEDLY done is solicit one elected official to kill another (emphasis on ALLEGEDLY). Anyone could see that any two elected officials though could be sodomygos and bound by darker forces than a voter could summon.
BingoBoingo: In the worst case traffic cops have a price. The price of BTC though seems to make traffic cops seem... inexpensive?
BingoBoingo: Eh, drinking and driving seems like a much safer lapse of judgement than using a web wallet.
BingoBoingo: If he iden't then.. well... since default doesn't exist in bitcoin he's still a scammer until he makes people whole.
BingoBoingo: Fuck him if e can be identified. If he can't, well he's a new n00b.
BingoBoingo: Maybe he learns a new framework and sneaks a new business model that isn't a web wallet.
BingoBoingo: Any guessing on his age, ethnicity, or being a dirty Jewess became moot when he signed with GPG his declaration of default.
kakobrekla: that wouldnt be a minor any more anyway
BingoBoingo: And http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-11-08/bitcoin-site-hacked-founder-says/5078148 There he pretends to be a decade younger.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: It seems so. Not that dox are useful for anything, but someone going by "Mt Dox" is trying to make a name off of this doxxing
BingoBoingo: Here's the reference to being 28: Coinchat’s founder, a 28-year-old male freelance web developer based in Australia who (in keeping with Bitcoin’s shadowy origins) wishes to remain anonymous to avoid any Bitcoin associated “drama” or the threat of “doxxing”, tells TechCrunch the service has been up and running for about five months. -> http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/31/coinchat/
kakobrekla: at least he got himself a silver membership with the foundation
BingoBoingo: A decade younger than he claimed, back when he was solvent-ish
BingoBoingo: Maybe one of them gets a mistrust discount for being a child?

Duffer1: you could always do what TaT did with Neo & Bee, offer a multi exchange ipo
the20year: i knew he had a stake, but he never updates me
Duffer1: and you didn't know he'll have a stake in the new exchange?
Duffer1: ceo of buy-a-hash
the20year: My brother is looking at doing a 2nd round at $2m-$3m , so i don't see why $1m would be impossible
monolithik: if you're open to issuing some shares via a colored-coin, chromawallet will hopefully be ready to use on mainnet by the end of january.
the20year: That's the exchange I really want ot list on , but have had a few guys tell me that it's gonna take too long
monolithik: market cap is meaningless when you float a small amount of your coin, then place a bunch of buy/sell orders at high prices to give the appearance of value
the20year: I think a crypto would do better just due to where the market is on cryptos, many people are getting rich overnight with them, it'd beasier to gain investments that way than begging for people to buy shares
monolithik: it just sounds like a normal real estate investment scheme, with a cryptocurrency mashed into it for no apparent reason
the20year: Money flows back to the actual coinholders through active buy orders on public markets in terms of BTC/LTC, which then drives the actual coin prices up relative to the typical basket of crypto currencies, providing more value. At some point in the next 5 years, we then would set up a coin exchange where coinholders can exchange coins for goods/services produced from the businesses. It's more than just housing, I want far
monolithik: well, I'm just not sure of the gain you get from using the cryptocurrency over a regular REIT. I feel like a coin makes sense when the actual work to be performed is computational in nature, such as verifying transactions, storing data, etc.
Duffer1: but then i'm not a lawyer so.. :P
the20year: The idea is that the investments will be 'anonymous' in the sense that the average coinholder only gets a monthly report with profit/loss figures, decisions the board makes, they don't have direct access to the properties. However the directors/founders will actually go to the properties and inspect them, providing reasonable insight into how efficient the businesses are.
Duffer1: which could be a huge problem in the states unless you register as a money transmitter
the20year: So, then those coins are invested, saved, used to further the coinage. The idea is to have a foundation similar to the bitcoin foundation, but the financing for said foundation would be significantly higher because with each coin that's mined, more go back to the foundation then which invests in things that matter
the20year: Pretty similar to how they're doing it, except that there's a extra # of coins per block found that goes back to the 'foundation' ala freicoin. Said coins are used to buy property/investments, which then cashflow back to the coinholders
Apocalyptic: a reddit news feed on an asset management company's website
kakobrekla: slovenia just put out a guidance for personal taxes and bitcoin. all trading and stuff is as it was tax free, mining is however taxed, on the paper.

mircea_popescu: many years later these shackles will be presented as a symbol of opression,
benkay`: this appeared in a conversation about e-cigarettes recently, where the idea of regulating these vaporizing devices was broadly hailed in the room as a grand thing.
benkay`: we are so far gone that lack of regulation is a vice.
benkay`: In a paper entitled “Regulating Digital Currencies: Bringing Bitcoin Within the Reach of the IMF,” Nicholas A. Plassaras suggests that the International Monetary Fund is ill-equipped to handle the widespread use of bitcoins into the foreign exchange market, highlighting the inability of the Fund to intervene in the event of a speculative attack on a country’s currency by bitcoin users.
