mircea_popescu: i mean, on the face of it : he seems to have a silver broker business or something.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why is he going so weird about things.
Chaang-Noi: honestly i dont think anyone will go
Chaang-Noi: i think he invited you
Chaang-Noi: i mean morning
mircea_popescu: o i see, it's 12.5 in the capital expenses and 12 in mpbor line lol. ty.
maximian: luke-jr: i missed some of the conversation - is this attack underway or will it be soon?
Chaang-Noi: i find that very hard to belive
Chaang-Noi: i kinda doub that
Chaang-Noi: i kinda doubt someone go to that trouble to kill litecoin when they could make massive oney
KRS1: idk not much speed/power going on there i think
jurov: ;;later tell mircea_popescu "mpbor says 12%, but i received 12.5% on bonds. i don't mind but deprived will likely find out :D"
jurov: yea i'm on it
mircea_popescu: i'm pretty sure it's not per-btc, just per-fraud.
ColdHardMetal: whether mere fraud is the actual motivator behind it, I doubt we'll ever know.
ColdHardMetal: I'm just content that the legal action isn't being based just on the fact he was handling BTC.
mircea_popescu: i mean sure, i'm convinced he's just some random guy who's been operating on some common misrepresentations of how the world works
mircea_popescu: i never heard of any actual prosecution where this was seriously contemplated.
KRS1: haha yeah guess you are right..im not impressed with the exchange at all..imo i'd rather have something on a console that actually works instead of something that renders pretty in a browser that doesnt
mircea_popescu: KRS1 no, actually, i think he's the perfect image of mtgox
usagi: I'm really suprised they would put him on live, having done TV a few times. They don't do that ever.
usagi: For bloomberg TV he was the wrong person to put on I think
mircea_popescu: SlipperySlope the way this works is, mpoe results are published the weekend after close. i usually try and so far have managed to publish within 1-2 hours of actual close.
Namworld: C320? I can sell some of those anytime...
mircea_popescu: i'm like... ok. so if i want to speak what do i do, send a message to your webchat ip ?
mircea_popescu: ya this guy is like, hi i'm organising an event we will have hedge funds would you like to speak. then he leaves.
jcpham: i noticed that retarded thread is still going though
mircea_popescu: jurov well the idea is i publish friday pay next day in case there's errors found or anything.
jurov: SlipperySlope, don't know. I was asking mp here awhile ago, no reply yet.
inhies: i have two series 1
KRS1: lol i knew it would come down
jurov: i just bought one for 2.75 on bitmit... got good deal then
KRS1: i'd stop with whatever drugs you're takin man..
tiberiusiv: i believe in the last 60 days mircea popescu the gypsy scum has lost over 30,000 btc
tiberiusiv: i predicted in here 4 weeks ago that mircea would have another massive losing month
tiberiusiv: In closing, I want to say that the bleeding red in the bondholders table makes me sad. It’s the people providing the capital for MPOE bonds that are helping stabilise Bitcoin. It’s them making it useful and usable.
unbalanced_: Before I go back to ignoring you, yes, taxes would apply on CAD equivalent just as they would for any other currency or commodity or local funny money. Old rules, nothing new.
unbalanced_: I fig'd I'd ignore you then but couldn't resist. Added a smiley so you know I'm not a deliberate asshole.
unbalanced_: I think you popped in out of nowhere to say that to me once.
unbalanced_: I'm just grateful no one is talking about *new* laws to add another layer of cruft to the legal and tax system.
mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone reads th forums anymore
Diablo-D3: and this is why I dont read the forums often
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: I have no clue what that image means
Diablo-D3: no, its something I read like 20 years ago
Diablo-D3: but I can never quite remember what it is
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: no, but I keep thinking of some sort of mathematical currency thats older than this
ColdHardMetal: mp: looks like I'll need to take your word for it for awhile :)
pizzaman1337: I'd assume from everything they connect too, you can see their list when they're back up
Cylta: but there was N section (for next month), and they should be transported in T section... but okay, i get it.
mircea_popescu: the new month just started like 12 hours ago or w/e, i guess nobody has made any yet.
jurov: i hope something lame never comes off coinbr
Chaang-Noi: well i gota go see a man about a dog
Chaang-Noi: and from what i under stand the silent guy ownes more then eric
Chaang-Noi: i dont think he held anything
Chaang-Noi: i mena mp
Chaang-Noi: i think it was mpex who sold his 10%
Chaang-Noi: id buy 1 percent now at .0002 or whatever if i could hold directly with the company
Chaang-Noi: i would have bought at ipo, not now at market lulz
toffoo: i'm still looking for shares issued/outstanding
Chaang-Noi: but if i could take out the 3rd party risk odds are id buy 1 percent just cause
Chaang-Noi: i dont even like 3rd party risk but maybe a bit is okay
Chaang-Noi: i dont like 4th party risk
Chaang-Noi: but they listed on an exchange that does not welcome users so lol. i dont have any high hopes for anything listed there
Chaang-Noi: honestly if they listed on an exchange where i could buy shares i would have bought a few when it was in the .2 range
Chaang-Noi: i think its too high due to hype
maximian: I think the price is low due to uncertainty

jborkl: i need to donate to pr just for the laugh
KRS1: i like most lines
jborkl: i love that lin
KRS1: i'm sure of myself after like 8 or 9 times looking at the ticker making a decision
KRS1: so like..if i say BUY 5 times and SELL 3 times, you will know what to do: BUY of course.
KRS1: mine wasn't bad until i went back and forth too many times..if they rate in there i'm doomed
KRS1: <KRS1> i just bought my first whole bitcoin today...SELL.
KRS1: <KRS1> I mean buy!! Damnit sorry!
KRS1: Holy shit maybe I shouldn't have fucked with him so much..a thousand dollars is a lot of loot lol
KRS1: <Naders> I HAVE THOUSAND OF DOLLARS ON THE LINE MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!
jcpham: there's people out there that need ot read it i'm sure
mircea_popescu: "Trading what? Most traders I know don't know shit about trading something as volatile as this. Reading through, people appear to not understand how futures and options work, and now they are learning, are annoyed at their own ignorance."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I once heard of a mutilated-English version of this warning, that hung in German machine rooms.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recall someone pointing out hashing god yields some btc years ago
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I missed the brainmining thing when it started, and found out about it by sheer accident - ran across some published code which lets even idiots try their hand at it, while looking for something else
jcpham: http://i.imgur.com/mbAEE.png
jcpham: i'm so boss
ThickAsThieves: personally, i feel that amazon does to little branding
jcpham: seems like i've seen that on reddit and elsewhere
joeykrim: mircea_popescu, i wrote my congress ppl to not pass that :x
mircea_popescu: i do, if you mention someone;'s key that's already registered you each get 5btc
joecool: mircea_popescu: dare i ask? do you give mpex registration discounts to OTC members?
mircea_popescu: i find it pretty incredible that nobody moved into the midmarket during these ~2 weeks
