the20year1: shows
a balance of 1.9995 on the top of my screen, but in my wallet it shows 0 ballance
the20year1: well that's odd, it set
a different permanant withdrawl address
mircea_popescu: well these things are reported to the fbi as
a matter of course, but i don't know if they ever do anything.
mircea_popescu: mkay. too soon to say for certain, but it seems
a bunch of fake trades were reported. im putting
a two hour hold on trades of s.mpoe and s.bbet.
mircea_popescu: the plot thickens. apparently there was
a breach of some sort.
mod6: i picked up
a bunch
kakobrekla: too bad i didnt have
a bid in or whatever
pankkake: but there's
a bet on volume too?
dexX7: to my understanding the volume of bitstamp needs to be higher than gox at any point prior dec 31st. how can you use the pie chart (which only shows
a snapshot of "now") anyway, when you need to take historical data (= the complete timespan from now till dec 31st) in consideration?
dexX7: ThickAsThieves:
a guess where most of the am shares will land?
Olautze: like
a few Month ago with the bat client's
BingoBoingo: As I wrap my head around
a european language being classed as native
mircea_popescu: apparently ms has
a lot of in house expertise in romanian.
mircea_popescu: romanian is
a great language to learn because if you're talking to
a hot white chick it's 33% she's romanian
BingoBoingo: I might start that then. Worst case in
a few months to
a year it might be
a holy shit I understand this language moment, and then I can work for Microsoft installing those exploits.
mircea_popescu: maybe it'll shame some of the native speaker readers into doing
a better jhob
BingoBoingo: After next week I might be able to GPG or address sign
a kill switch statement to that effect, if I won't publically connect my identities by XX date Lex pressure is probably
a contributing factor, but I should be in
a moar tolerant jurisdiction by then as everyone is
a tourist nowadays.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah. Basicaally if I keep the blog up an identity release is planned. If not though the local sheriff imagining me as
a minor Burside would probably be
a contributing factor,
a lack of my denying to release an identity later ought to probably be construed as that.
mircea_popescu: it just puts one in
a particularly comfortable and solid mental place to be themselves.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've already thrown my IRL name to you at least twice though. Once this spring during the ascension once I felt I knew who mattered and again tonight because... I liek reafirming things and
a bit of google can take you to an alleged recording I have been advised by counsel to avoid listening to (depending on how next week goes that might be free and clear though, after the alleged speech crime is ajudicated)
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The staying out of jail point is also of some concern... I imagine safe places in this world exist to throw out
a name, but... 'Murica
mircea_popescu: obviously judging the other side is your domain, but i don't see why i'd want to live in
a world wherein i can't say my name on my own blog. either such
a world doesn't exist or i don't, and the sooner we find out the better.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I have the IRL identity on the blog planned on
a roughly 1-3 year timeline. Doing it in less than 1 year Might be sudden, but if it isn't out in 3 then why the fuck am I blogging. I don't plan pseudonymity forever, but I am actively considering more favorable jurisdictions to settle in.
benkay: it's
a joke about power
mircea_popescu: also get
a footnotes plugin and
a recent comments thing.
mircea_popescu: benkay i think someone had that link here
a day or two ago
BingoBoingo: So... BingoBlog now has
a third post. At this current pace of 117 unique visitors within 19 hours of the first post during
a soft launch (i.e. I've only linked it here and CoinChat, MP linked it on trilema and I'm not spamming bitcointalk with it yet) BingoBlog might be one of the fastest growing blogs in the BTC space. I want some comments here:

benkay: Rather, require every serious content buyer to post
a creative bond. If his files are found on
a sharing network, he gets
a bill and the informer gets
a reward. This will have
a rapid, lethal effect on the “culture of sharing.”
BingoBoingo: Or all of the Buttcoins in
a gallery did ring, It surely could be had 'cause Burnside is not king
BingoBoingo: But High from the block chain
a bitcoin did fall, and the promise of Satoshi I did then recall
BingoBoingo: When Mary birthed Jesus the placenta had stank, with wise men and farmers
a gang bang commenced
gribble: Error: "seen-distribution" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it must really suck to be
a vapid airhead stuck in the brood of some guy who seeded skype and whatnot.
benkay: the tickets are to
a better show, so to speak.
mircea_popescu: this is that, except outpatient, you get to pretend luike you're rich and
a bunch of twinks really want your cock.
mircea_popescu: no, they aren't. dudes are buying by the hour
a particular sort of entertainment
mircea_popescu: get
a coupla camwhores through 6 weeks buzzword programme and send them to collect the money of the foolish
benkay: love how indow windows is
a "startup"
benkay: "when starting
a company, sometimes it is difficult to understand how you should be valued, or what your value is when you are trying to raise money from investors"
mircea_popescu: Have you ever read the book "He's Just Not That into You"? Me neither, however I have seen the movie, and although it is lacking
a whimsically charming Hugh Grant in order to make it into the "Best RomCom" category, there is one part of the movie
benkay: i'd make more comments about them but i think they know somebody i already don't get along with and this is
a very small town
benkay: or if not
a scam an ineffective thing
mircea_popescu: The United States has among the highest incarceration rates in the world. More people are behind bars in the United States than any other country. As of 2006,
a record 7 million people were behind bars, on probation or on parole. Of the total, 2.2 million were incarcerated. The People's Republic of China ranks second with 1.5 million. The United States has 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's incarcerate
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: He took roughly $600,m he could have probably got more if his weapon wasn't
a sandwich...
KRS1: or
a bitcoin gambling site
BingoBoingo: Week after I got arrested though
a former classmate of mine robbed
a bank and he just needs to go through alcohol counseling so I'm optomistic with my misdemeanor, because disorderly conduct should be an obligation rather than
a crime
KRS1: if I were to take
a guess Mississippi or Louisiana
mircea_popescu:
a apparently us minimum security ppl don't get internet.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: UTC -6 I'll PM you
a link to
a new story related to my indictment
BingoBoingo: So, 9 days until I find out if My October is going to be
a very prison October...
mircea_popescu: if i gut
a guy and put him up on
a pole, it will attract tons of other people.
mircea_popescu: if i gut
a crow and put it on
a pole, the other crows will keep distance.
mircea_popescu: today it looks like
a throng of kids who just had their dreams of one day being president crushed.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, the hurt these days is of
a completely different feel than the hurt in oct 2012.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. It was actually
a different topic that started my sould searching that lead to Bingo Blog, though that group contributed to my general sentiment.
ozbot: The BFL timeline:
a collaborative schadenfreude project
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: pretty much. I especially like the idiots who interpret that as invest in Just-Dice instead of gamble on Just-Dice and get burned because they can't remember they read
a whole paragraph (pr maybe they tried and forgot?).
mircea_popescu: i mean... kid goes to chew power cables. you go don't chew power cables. it goes "well i had
a lot of respect for you before but now that you tell me to not chew power cables i don't have any more respect for you". gets killed, and then it's
a case of "we (who ?!) were killing you in all respects that matter. by being dead."
BingoBoingo: Well of the two risky yet potentially scammy low profit BTC niches, Burnside chose
a securities exchange that didn't even take half measures pretending safety.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I keep forgetting you have in the plural for some reason. It would take
a lot of wikidorks to match the raw fecal encephalitits of the recent Burnside posts though.
mircea_popescu: lmao so some dork on the forum named himself "question authority" and has
a link to the grouptink article ON WIKIPEDIA in his signature
mircea_popescu:
a transcript of glbse shareholder meeting at the time survives.
mircea_popescu: detailed, no. in summary, its something like this : early spring 2012, nefario allowed
a bunch of scammers (goat, the "bankers") to run dubious pirate "pass throughs" pseudoinvestments that soon enough dominated the exchange, doing like 90%+ of all trade, and also made its volume almost comparable to mpex at the time.
dexX7: mircea_popescu: you mentioned gpg contracts.. only
a few days ago i realized how cool mpex really is or to be more specific i realized the beautiy of the "mechanism" you use to transmit orders
mircea_popescu: BigBitz burnside is some dork that was running
a ltc exchange, then when glbse popped he figured "o noes, i have all the needed expertise to re-do the thing".
mircea_popescu: pankkake: those should go to zero… unless maybe there's
a sale of the source code <<< ahh how this brings memories.
mircea_popescu: i read
a little, something happens, read
a little more etc.
mircea_popescu: why is jgarzik out of the woodwork with telling everyone to make
a decentralized exchange?
moose-hacker: there are two guys going at it on havelock over cbtc shares, looks like
a bidding war
kakobrekla: its
a medal of highest order and now
a bunch of ppl cant read you and those who do, do not, so yeah
mircea_popescu: i can scarcely think of
a more absolute display of impotence. "oh i ignore your pr pls care"
ozbot: For lack of
a nail pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
Scrat: mircea_popescu: I thought you were
a large investor; 30k invested at -5.2k profit right now
