a year old now.
ThickAsThieves: we have
a year's worth of no one shipping like they planned
San1ty_: if he buys
a put he wants to sell at 4 bro :D
Namworld:
A put...
a put is an option to sell. I want the option to sell at 4 in the next months

mircea_popescu: "
A Sansha super carrier called
a Revenant is worth approx. 300bil ISK due to being rare in the game. Probably worth more now due to the recent loss from Grath in Pandemic Legion. 1st person to lose one. Seems to be
a setup, where Black Legion had
a massive fleet waiting to counter drop them."
mjr_: but that blog was
a great post, and very relevant when everyone is saying 'but i never do anything wrong!'

a GOOD way

a littkle maybe they get the idea" ?
mircea_popescu: but this time there were 3 tables occupied. 3 guys + 1 woman at one. 3 guys + 1 woman at another. something like 17 dudes + 1 woman at
a third.
mircea_popescu: so
a neighbour is having
a garden party. there's maybe
a dozen cocks
mircea_popescu: do dicks come in packs of 6 while balls come in packs of 10 so you have to buy at least 60 dicks at
a time ?
ThickAsThieves: they are taking
a 10% value cut to pay another 10% premium
dub: shit, thats almost like having
a job
ericmuyser: if you need to break up answers it's
a lot clearer. it's also used to hold an OP accountable for what he originally wrote, unless you don't allow editing either
Diablo-D3: (and reddit is basically
a combination of the usenet thought process and forums anyhow)

a forum
ozbot: The solar system has
a tail, NASA reveals | The Verge
jurov: tbh, there was
a gangsta time in 90s, but they have learned quickly
mjr_: its just mapping those feelings onto
a specific experience, which is why i recommend going through it at least once
mjr_: Namworld: it comes down to the fact that we are in
a new situation, so we don't know how to process them, and we go with what we would do in that situation
Namworld: Overly personal sob stories is
a third.
Namworld: The main one is urgency. Wether it's because the person is
a scammer or because the person is legitly in dire need of immediate funds, it's both
a bad sign. You'd want to filter these.
Namworld: Just letting them blatter for
a few minutes can give off cues.
Namworld: But if you do, it lets you filter right off the bat quite
a lot of people.
Namworld: Your aim is to discern signs that the person is
a scammer. Even if you don't find anything doesn't guarantee the person isn't/
mjr_: you focus on what you want to do, not on doing boring shit that
a million others before you have already done

a huge bitcoin fan
mjr_: maybe use
a sob story....
a little small talk
San1ty_: mjr_ would
a donation of 21 BTC directed to me cut it?

a small amount
mjr_: if you want to know
a real explanation, i'd suggest reading the hour between dog and wolf
Namworld: Could have made
a really nice sale at 250 with those BTCs
Namworld: So price was lower. It's not such
a consolation considering I kept all my BTC and sold what I had available at 250.
mircea_popescu: she thought she;'s really clever by always begging with
a new address, but then there's chatlogs.
rulother: 769 btcs, That's
a ton... hope that was before the spike in Jan. Less hurt
San1ty_: Yeah actually this guy kind of was in
a hurry
Namworld: Sometimes they actually have the thing, and can prove it, but are in
a hurry. Usually it's be able to sell the same thing multiple times to different people. They need the funds quick before any party realize what happened.
Namworld: If someone needs the funds quickly, never
a good sign...
mjr_: either let yourself be scammed for
a tiny amount
mjr_: specifically so i would have
a baseline level of what it feels like, and how the process works
San1ty_: Everyone always says use Escrow because apperently everyone is scum of the earth at bitcointalk. It's
a sad moment when you realize it's true...
San1ty_: The most frustrating part isn't even the BTC, it's the "how big of
a douchebag can you be" part
thestrin1puller: it's from
a show about these romanians who move into
a twin peaks-like town

ThickAsThieves: "Make
a road bump with
a broken palm tree to stop the buses going into Cairo, and drench the road around it with gas and diesel. When the bus slows down for the bump, set it all ablaze so it will burn down with all the passengers inside … God bless."
deadweasel: nice article, mp. the USG accountants have invented
a myriad of tricks to mis-report inflation. The misreporting ("adjusting the figures"), I first became aware of in 95, and it's only gotten worse since then.

a feeling divs are going to be .03
mjr_: i want to write
a blog (our equivalent to tracts, i suppose) called

a PDF of their sorta business plan if anyone is interested...
ThickAsThieves: [07:22] <CryptoCyprus> Hi everyone, I am in the process of launching
a Bitcoin startup here in Cyprus, that will allow for mass adoption. I am currently investigating the various routes to funding the start up. Its going to require around €1.5m dependant upon the clarification provided by the Central Bank on regulations we must adhere too. Would €1.5m be achievable through the
San1ty_: Maybe he tried to pull
a scam but decided against it because it seems some people realized I made
a payment earlier.
