smidge: because its
a... fund?
smidge: although he tried to propose
a massive share swap deal :)
Exocyst: mircea, I think it is
a statement of the strength of human generosity that we let the least of us rule the most of us.
smidge: but petri dish as
a trading floor?
ThickAsThieves: "We would like to present competitive, secure and highly professional solution for buying and selling of bitcoins, especially in Europe. There is
a plenty of potential for future growth and we would like to be helpful with the general adoption of virtual currencies. Although it is premature to estimate income for the several months after the launch of the system, we would like to get
firsthousefinanc: nevermind
a hotel, you can stay in
a traveler's hostel for 1/8th the price
Rulother__: yeah looking through booking and
a few others, basically last minute efforts lol
firsthousefinanc: well my friend tried to apply to borrow and even after identifying his stuff he can't create
a listing lol
mircea_popescu: maybe just
a function of most people learning better, since earlier this eyar.
ThickAsThieves: i remember when i started my first business, and i learned that *I* had to spend money/time to account for collecting Sales Taxes, and how I thought it was absurd that I had to collect money on behalf of the gov. They even give
a piddly discount to the payment if you're on time.
ThickAsThieves: mp i appreciate the sentiment, do you have
a simple legal perspective to show why that judge's leap is flawed?
[1]lewicki: here's an activemining share, have
a seat
Rulother__: the one person that should of been at the q&
a gecko_x2: vis
a vi labcoin's rolled cores?
jurov: you certainly would be jumpy if you had to wait for weeks... otherwise you're just
a sheep, sorry
gecko_x2: but yesterday's labcoin Q&
A was interesting
gecko_x2: things have to happen immediately or there is
a riot on the boards :p
gecko_x2: icedrill ipo is
a bust i think
kakobrekla: sure but the way he behaves and the people he was and is involved with tells
a bunch
gecko_x2: he doesn't feel like sitting by
a computer for hours every week sorting out all the numbers and doing payments
gecko_x2: i can understand
a guy moving on
jurov: oh, deadterra is
a jerk
optimator: lavabit.com -
a footnote in the history of
a declining civilization... I feel for the founders and the struggles they must be now going through
mircea_popescu: at most it can turn into
a shambling abomination that screeches "braaainnzzz"
mircea_popescu: it's quite humiliating,
a point i'm sure isn't lost on anyone but "the community".
optimator: and gavin + w/e tla agency is why litecoin still has
a chance
Kleeck_: I'd love to hang out longer and chat but I have to be off, gents. This is
a good convo! Inform yourselves!!
Kleeck_: It was
a Mozilla expoit...
Kleeck_: Sure, you can conspiracy theory
a lot of scary scenarios, but as we understand TOR it is
a very well thought out network. It's the methods of connectivity that are vulnerable, and
a few other points of injection/observation, that don't involve the TOR network at all.
mircea_popescu: you may have
a point arguing there may be some redeemable value in onion routing.
mircea_popescu: you're here arguing that
a laughable piece of schewizer which has in fact been raped to all hell multiple times,
mircea_popescu: Kleeck_ that's nonsense. Egerstad for instance gathered
a ton of people's pws.
Kleeck_: I have
a coworker that has also thought that BTC could be calculated rainbow tables.
Menoetius: i was question the fact anyone has even suggested btc was
a honeypot
Kleeck_: I haven't come across
a technical artical outlining documented TOR vulns.
Kleeck_: lol. - You realize how TOR works right? End-to-end encryption from node-to-node all the way to the exit. Tracking output from the exit node does little to no good unless you are tracking
a lot of other data.
dexX7: tor is the underlying protocol and freedom host was
a service using/on tor - you can remove the host, but that doesn't change anything about tor itself
optimator: "someone has
a honeypot theory for btc" - I have
a tor exist node available for sniffing injecting - .5 btc - wanna pay?
mircea_popescu: Kleeck_ not so much of
a theory. it's
a project run by the usg to give its various enemies trouble.
Kleeck_: someone has
a honeypot theory for TOR? I'd like to hear more.
Menoetius: someone has
a honeypot theory for btc ?
dexX7: well yea, but that's
a different topic
Kleeck_: People are confused about what "TOR IS DOWN!" means. There was
a dude in Ireland and
a couple other exit nodes, takesn down. This was done through
a vulnerability in
a mozilla firefox build from nov. 2012. TOR is not down. Just to be clear.
optimator: "I would _strongly_ recommend against anyone trusting their private data to
a company with physical ties to the United States."
Kleeck_: Gah. That guy is
a lousy sock puppet! (<3 TAT)
Hollywood: no, really I do think so. You have
a way with words, it is
a talent
Kleeck_: Does ASICMiner have
a channel?
kakobrekla: maybe labcoin is
a way for alberto to pay up for BDT
optimator: i think @assbot is it - good luck with him - he's been
a bitch
mircea_popescu: usually people who get called out for lieing tend to take
a little time off.
mircea_popescu: it's pretty good documentation of what
a totalitarian regime looks like early on.
mircea_popescu:
a, don't get me wrong, i don't really want them to anything in particular. not really my business.
mircea_popescu: maybe some difference in scope. but otherwise... i say it's
a scam in april, people observe it's
a scam in august.
gribble: userioao was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 3 days, 12 hours, 45 minutes, and 16 seconds ago: <userioao> Can anyone recommend
a side to buy prepaid virtual CC via bitcoin?
mircea_popescu: i think the populace first spends
a decade or two without power or groceries.
mircea_popescu: as it was already the case once or twice last year, once before that and
a couple of times this year already.
mircea_popescu: hardly alive. the us government is by now out of control, entirely. if
a district judge orders something they just appeal it. if the appelate court concurs they appeal again.
optimator: mircea_popescu: "if i had
a penny for every district judge" - I love that part. I love that some judges just thumb their noses at the federal government. States rights seem to be alive...
mircea_popescu: dexX7 if i had
a penny for every district judge that ruled obamacare unconstitutional...
mircea_popescu: optimator i half suspect the whole thing is
a staged operation.
optimator: i think I would have asked for
a ruling... unless I'd blown all my btc on day spas...
dexX7: so this might be used as reference for upcoming cases, but
a magistrate judge's word doesn't have the same weight (obviously) as
a surpreme court ruling
mircea_popescu: anyway, the matter was fundamentally arbitration, handled by
a magistrate judge by apparent consent of the parties.
optimator: dexX7: in TX, yes for that federal district. But, we must either
a) wait for other districts to rule the same; or b) wait for SCOTUS to rule the same
mircea_popescu: ate civil cases in the same manner as
a district judge, including presiding over jury or non-jury trials."
mircea_popescu: "In civil proceedings, magistrate judges typically manage discovery and other pretrial matters. They are authorized to issue orders in pretrial matters as long as the order is not dispositive of the case as
a whole (such as an order granting summary judgment). They may also be assigned to write reports and recommendations to the district judge as to dispositive matters. With the consent of the parties, they may adjudic
ozbot: Federal Judge Declares Bitcoin
a Currency - Slashdot
optimator: mircea_popescu: well that's
a 12% increase over the next 3 diff changes to make that bet true
optimator: hard not to make
a big asicminer bet - pins & needles
jurov: but by now it's
a bit late, no one can help if such huge diff increases continue
afrotec: yeah you;ll be okay in
a month
freeroute: I bought
a lot of ActM shares @ 0.0075 and above, but still I'm gud
