mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is there a way i can run a cab in london just for a day ?
orkaa: i saw this on tv some time ago, it's real :)
asciilifeform: benkay: the bureaucrats (in practice) own NYC, and charge whatever the hell they want for taxi licenses. a bar can charge for entrance. nothing wrong with that. what I'm unclear on is why the MP fee is a different kind of animal.

asciilifeform: benkay: riffraff interested in automated trading are more or less written out of the script. MP runs his own house how he likes, I'm fine with that. But why not call things by their real names.
benkay: at least I think that's what he wants. open to correction on that count.
ezdiy: i think mircea_popescu plays the soupnazi part well
truffles: i just want the lunches
truffles: i enjoyed it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't have a problem with rickshaws per se.
asciilifeform: If I understand correctly
asciilifeform: Were it not for medallions, NYC would probably look like Shanghai (rickshaws, etc.) I'm fine with that, but the rulers of the place evidently aren't
truffles: assuming i like girls
benkay: but i think we're making the same points.
mircea_popescu: fucking unfair comparison of the century. i hate taxi medallions.
truffles: seeing that this is bitcoin i thought things would be a bit different
truffles: i guess one must pay for a seat ..
truffles: i love it when doms throw money at me >>> go on
Technologov__: I can take risk, but I like to be paid for it.
jcpham: i love it when doms throw money at me
truffles: isnt that why i would invest though
truffles: if i were a rich person id have no problems investing ofc, alas im not
Technologov__: truffles, what I'm trying to say, is that you can invest even without having Bitcoins. Just must buy them.
Technologov__: and what ? I worked at Cisco Systems. There are *much* more cables there. I assure you.
Technologov__: I bought them via Western Union.
Technologov__: I did not had either until a week ago ^^
BTCOxygen: Technologov__: Oh I found a very interesting thread for you.
jcpham: i cut off the numbers
Technologov__: if BTCOxygen can find any, I might invest (@_@)
Technologov__: I would invest in ASIC company yes, but I dunno any.
jurov: but really, i see it like either many asic users want to stay secret, or they are chinese not on btctalk
jcpham: i believe asic exists. yes.
jcpham: i bet it's confusing talking to me.
ezdiy: jurov: i think the rational explanation would be: give impression you want to get asics "out there so people dont lose trust" but in fact keep it private for as long as possible :)
jcpham: i tell lies on the internet for fun
BTCOxygen: mircea_popescu: I see 3 Avalons.
Technologov__: But due to huge spike, I believe, that ASICs actually exist.
Technologov__: If this graph would be flat, I would buy a GPU, and not believe into ASIC lore.
BTCOxygen: I think even imsaguy has an Avalon.
BTCOxygen: Technologov__: I mean I know end-users.
jcpham: and the owners and i've spoken with them
jcpham: i know of 3 actual avalons
Technologov__: I could not find not on forums and not in chat
jcpham: so i digress for now until it collapses
Technologov__: jcpham, I doubt if Avalon are better
BTCOxygen: I know 5-6 people personally who recieved their Avalon.
jcpham: but i mean like the company name is unassuming and disarming even "butterfly"
jcpham: i give them credit where it is due
mircea_popescu: i'm tickled pink over here.
mircea_popescu: i guess we all sue wired. this is good news.
Technologov__: But I highly doubt, that they will ship any.
Technologov__: I _do_ believe the ASICs are real
Technologov__: that's why I wanna wait until ppl will start receiving first batch units
Technologov__: BTCOxygen, and I have a fear about similar fate with Avalon ASICs
Cylta: jcpham: i think I heared it somewhere already...
BTCOxygen: I don't want to do the math its painfull.
Technologov__: As a small investor, I know it for sure.
Technologov__: ??? I never ever heard of him.
inhies: i read that as Tupac
davout: i smell pussy
Cylta: I see two cats =)
inhies: i see no cat
jborkl: reminds me why I do not read the forum
jborkl: I feel dumb for reading part of that reptelia thread
mircea_popescu: "some douche" is the best i got out of mpoe-pr
MJR_: hmmm i think i am going to do an otc transaction
mircea_popescu: MJR_ i totally have no idea.
mircea_popescu: "I think rpietila is very close to establishing cult of personality. What MP achieves with mental coercion, rpietila does using humour, and with ease."
truffles: i just like bold names
BTCOxygen: jborkl: I have been paing him from my profits.
jcpham: i'd like one share please.
jcpham: where do i sign up? I have 1 btc to contrtibute
jcpham: i'm not going to jump on the tread and be mean but like those guys are saying
truffles: i dont like the name btcoxygen..
imsaguy: I apologize
BTCOxygen: Our = I and my partner.
imsaguy: I know difficuilty will hit much higher than that
jcpham: i'm betting we're way way over 20mil by july in diff
Chaang-Noi: imsaguy and that is what i told you
Cylta: Can I create options? and do I have to keep a balance to cover them? (and what do I have to do with puts, because they may cost ~inf in case if price will go to 0)?
imsaguy: jcpham, I'm goign to form my own asic company
mircea_popescu: i can't be stonewalled. he won't sign, he won't exist pretty much.
jcpham: so i can erupt some shit
imsaguy: I think asicminer needs a passthrough on mpex
jcpham: i told 'em to come here!
imsaguy: mircea_popescu: I was on a trip
Girlfawkesy: not much info was given, and I was curious
Girlfawkesy: I dunno, I got a message on reddit
Girlfawkesy: I understand MP was looking for me?
