Serial production run of chips will start early Sept. Pictures of chips, schematics and miners etc. will be posted as they become available. Website is undergoing redesign and will feature

A Baby Boomer, You Will Go Bankrupt—If You Stay In America

a callback
mircea_popescu: well smg would have been
a little confusing for people. s.mg is not the publisher of eve.
mircea_popescu: "It’s no matter if
a student comes to the conclusion that 3 x 4 = 11. So long as they can explain how they made this erroneous determination they go home with an ‘
A’."
mircea_popescu: yes dude, i know. made
a fortune on the dip, lost most of it,
gecko_x8: and it has
a lot of similarities to the current btc environment
gecko_x8: mircea_popescu i was referring to the book 'reminiscences of
a stock operator', which is avail for download on the net
mircea_popescu: have they supported it because i have ? perhaps, maybe, to some degree. as
a shortcut, cause they know i can think.
gecko_x8: but if
a poor person attempts to not follow the crowd by getting into
a risky asset like btc, that's wrong?
mircea_popescu: poor people are conditioned to follow the crowd. and the crowd is usually
a crowd of sheep, being more or less methodically exploited.
mircea_popescu: i am saying that the expectation for something OUTSIDE to extract them from their predicament is 1. baseless and 2.
a security hole in their software.
mjr_1: for example, you can trade through
a broker like coinbr...1 coin deposit is all that is required
mjr_1: others look at the "new hot stock" like
a lotto ticket
mjr_1: some look at buying
a bitcoin like buying
a lotto ticket "if it goes to
a million dollars..."
mjr_1: its
a good investment, or at least
a portion of
a portfolio, IMHO
gecko_x8: i been sitting on my btc for
a long time
mircea_popescu: btc is perverse enough to let that appear to work, at least for
a little bit.
mircea_popescu: look at people who caught
a windfall through sports. are they rich ?
mjr_1: difference between poor and rich is that if you take
a rich guy's money away, he'll get back, if you give
a poor guy money, he'll be poor again in no time
gecko_x8: if
a poor man bought actm secondary ipo with 1 btc
mircea_popescu: poor people don't realise capital gains. it's
a fact of life.
gecko_x8: and treating
a man with 0.1 btc the same as
a man with 1000 btc
gecko_x8: with TAT for ex, i think he's doing
a great service to the community
gecko_x8: yes i agree, it's
a lot of work to commit yourself to without proper compensation
gecko_x8: but they do serve
a purpouse, for ex i can buy AM PT shares without paying the ridiculous registration fee of mpex
gecko_x8: right.. well imo it's because of the wild west nature of btc land.. not sure if i favor
a wall street type of nazi regulations enforcement model in btc-land
mircea_popescu: but it being
a tough call puts them leaps above all the other shits, where it's no tough call at all.
mircea_popescu: on the other hand they have paid
a lot of BTC in dividends, they do have
a viable business model which is operational and so on.
mircea_popescu: the one beef with am is they wouldn't make
a proper contract, instead letting
a bunch of people make PTs on basically their own. this is very severable tyo the benefit of AM, which sinks the deal for me.
gecko_x8: dono't get me wrong, i dunno you and i'm
a noob in btc securities.. just trying to figure out all the fuzz about you :)
gecko_x8: but still, every company on btct is
a scam, correct?
gecko_x8: i dunno, just
a feeling i've got from your commentary
gecko_x8: is there
a company listed on btct that's not
a scam?
gecko_x8: according to mircea_popescu, everyone here except him is an idiot, owning bitcoins is stupid and every company listed on btct is
a scam.
gecko_x8: well i'm thinking actm has
a deal with eAsic, and the chip design is flat cores
gecko_x8: u still convinced labcoin is
a scam? what about actm?
gecko_x8: sup mircea_popescu, so i read ur anatomy of
a scam
mircea_popescu: so I made
a little thing to test this theory. remarkably, it provoked no fake "muslim unrest".
mircea_popescu: rather than as
a result of them taking out contracts on their own people from the higher bidder.
mircea_popescu: anyweay, the backstory on the barbecuran thing : at the time the notoriously dishonest us propaganda machine was pretending that their benghazi personnel died as
a result of some dude publishing youtube videos
dexX7: hehe that was on /bitcoin's frontpage for
a few hours
olonro: What if.. everything they say about BFL is not true and just
a FUD campain to slow down the diff acceleration?
gesell: and not that, I dont know, facebook or google or some investors buying up
a possition before announcing something big?
dexX7: if you need options for
a specific security you might want to ask in the related thread on bitcointalk
kingofsports: mainly looking for put offerings for
a certain stock, btct no good ones.
kingofsports: is there
a trading site that offers options on BTC stocks? Or offers futures of some sort.
bobbabad: founder / developer... not some assistant that they had doing q&
a bobbabad: "I did
a wire out from Bitstamp and received my funds in my account within 3 business days."
dexX7: they do verification, but it takes only
a day
