davout: ok, i'll give the way i see it fully implemented
Stardust: i assumed there was one
davout: so first case (and I'll take a BTC/EUR exchange for the sake of the discussion)
mircea_popescu: aww i thought that amc thing was supposed to be 25 or some shit
davout: so I'm going to scratch my own itch here first and see i that works and if it's practical
mircea_popescu: i can imagien nobody'd ever go in there.
davout: especially if one is on the raspberry pi that I hide in my dirty laundry
davout: i was thinking of something different actually
mircea_popescu: well i guess we'll have to see this deployed.
davout: i enjoy delegating to romanians
davout: i'm going to stop right here, you know where i'm going
davout: mircea_popescu: i'm not saying the contrary, believe it or not but i think your security model makes a shitton of sense and i'm trying to find a way to get the best of it while not sacrificing convenience too much either
mircea_popescu: no dude. i mean an unhealed, enduring split like we had in march.
mircea_popescu: not to say your thing is necessarily useless, but i'd guess it's a part of what i linked rather than the other way around ya know ? :D
davout: i'll tease you a bit
mircea_popescu: but getting back on track, so i buy your product. now what.
davout: that's what I thought
mircea_popescu: i knew it.
asciilifeform: I, for one, sure as hell wouldn't put $100M of BTC on silicon I didn't design (or at least control the design of.)
davout: i guess i'll just have to show it when it's finished
davout: i never said it was automated
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no dude. i'm just entertaining a frenchman with bad food poisoning
davout: you're mean popescu, i'm taking my toys and i'm going home
mircea_popescu: davout i know the answer to that one
mircea_popescu: so many jabs i could be throwing in here
davout: mircea_popescu: yea, but that's only part of what i was thinking about
mircea_popescu: davout should i find my old article about it or you search on tyour own ?
ozbot: BitInstant has cut off the ability to buy bitcoins in certian locations. I am in boston and i was ha
pigeons: well since ya'll reccomended reddit, i learned that one of the secret locations bitinstant is not allowing bitcoin purchases from is Boston
davout: what's the drill with it ? have heard about it but as far as I understand they simply sell gift cards
jborkl: I came back to see KRS talking about eating asshole
jborkl: oh,nm I have been busy
KRS: oh no now i have to listen to it too..damnit
mircea_popescu: ok, i rephrase. so you can taste her sweet tears while...
KRS: I'd prolly rather her blow me while I'm eating her ass. I'm an ass man, plus bs's are my fav.
davout: why am i not more shocked by what the romanian says ?
mircea_popescu: i wonder if you could have a girl's head sewn in backwards so you can kiss her while fucking her in the ass.
jcpham: i haven't been there in ages!
jcpham: bitcoin got dumber over the weekend i'm sure of it
jcpham: i have a fever and can't word it properly
mircea_popescu: possibly the least awesome person i could think up
mircea_popescu: i thought tintin was belge anyway
davout: the last one i got wasn't that well done
davout: i hate boob jobs
davout: haha for a split second i thought kakobrekla disabled the feature
mircea_popescu: well this was fun but i gotta ignore him now
bitcollapse: no i bought cash
bitcollapse: mircea_popescu i think you are somewhat delusional. I can walk into a store and purchase goods with paper cash and nobody will ID me.
davout: i'm off, these funny captioned pictures don't just watch themselves
mircea_popescu: look. i'm not responsible for your 1915ish notions on regulation.
davout: mircea_popescu: not anymore i'm afraid
bitcollapse: yes i understand
davout: bitcollapse: seriously, i give you 6/10, now go away, i was having a good time
bitcollapse: i bought cars privately and nobody IDed me
bitcollapse: nobody asks for an ID when i bought a car only when i get a license plate
bitcollapse: mircea_popescu: when i purchase goods in stores nobody records all my ID info
bitcollapse: but i dont get IDed buying stuff with dollars
bitcollapse: if i buy electronics at walmart and trade them for drugs does walmart need to ID me everytime i buy them?
pigeons: i thought you said bitinstant
bitcollapse: but i dont like having an ID linked to a public adress
bitcollapse: pigeons i like the concept of bitcoin
bitcollapse: dabout how dont i?
deadweasel: just removed a brown recluse from my bedroom. i guess that's a win!
furuknap: I have no idea what you just said, which, I'm sure, is why I don't have an account on MPEx.
benkay: i don't gamble like you crazie
benkay: i have a bet coming due next monday. btc trading above 70. wasn't concerned at the time of bet, am slightly concerned now.
furuknap: I would bet it still said "expecting retest of 88"
davout: well, i'm off, ttyl all
mircea_popescu: these I OWN
mircea_popescu: anyway, next month i'll charge domain names
davout: i may be able to live with it
davout: that's where the MP aura stops I guess :-)
mircea_popescu: if i do guarantee usage it makes no sense to pretend im paying monthly, and it actually helps his cash flow a ton to pay him upfront
mircea_popescu: if i don't guarantee usage the provider won't open new boxes of gear for me.
davout: i don't know how exactly to express this, but i think that somehow you're trying to get accounting to do something it's not really supposed to
mircea_popescu: for a number of reasons. i just don't think they actually work.
mircea_popescu: now, i agree this is at least attackable from a "standard accounting" perspective,
davout: yeah, i see where you come from
davout: i guess latter
davout: especially since what i'm saying is just : "do the same thing, just use different words"
davout: so, i'm not sure what your way of accounting changes
mircea_popescu: tyvm. i'm trying to reinvent the wheel deliberately. both gaap and irfs suck.
davout: which i used for accounting at my first startup
davout: i'll sell you a full accounting piece of software
davout: if I was you I would account it as an expense every month
davout: the whole "it can't be taken as a one time charge" is relevant when you use expenses to reduce your net result as a way to reduce your taxes, i don't think it has much relevance in BTC-LAND
mircea_popescu: (i mean it matches the amortisation just fine*)
mircea_popescu: no but i mean, is there something lost ?
mircea_popescu: ok, here's the concept. i spent some BTC.
mircea_popescu: of course i can resell it. it's mine ><
mircea_popescu: yes i can
mircea_popescu: i own it, under a certain title.
davout: to me tangible is something i can touch, in my understanding IP is intangible yet it can be resold
mircea_popescu: so i have a special knapsack where i keep the 0 value items ?
davout: so yeah, i don't really understand why you'd amortise something that you do not own
mircea_popescu: benkay yeah. because i don't want to be stuck with one year odl boxes.
davout: ok, that's what i call "renting"
mircea_popescu: cause i got it for a year.
davout: so then, why one year? i don't know with other countries but in france you usually amortise IT stuff on 3 years, the rest on 5 and buildings on 20
davout: yeah, I'm just asking questions :-)
