a firey carsplosion and came to the conclusion that even refusing to drive roboticized cars won't really help you stay safe in america anymore
Jezzz: oh, that was just
a title from the link posted
furuknap: The oracle is still targeting 88, same as two weeks ago. Why, coming from an oracle, isn't that always 100% true? I mean, I'm losing money here, where can I has BTC for 88??????? The Oracle is
a scam!
assbot: Hell, ain't we about more fucked than
a whore at closin' time, huh?
mircea_popescu: " it's
a 25 min long talk by yifu guo avalon guy, who so far talks like
a 14yo."
mircea_popescu: "it's not
a currency if you want your govt job to pay bitcoin. it is
a currency if you need to pay tax on it. it isn't
a currency if you wish to pay tax in it. it is
a currency etc"
ThickAsThieves: mostly they talk about it as being like
a foreign currency, rather than
a barter
parseval: MIssing
a little is cool, it'll just skip the datapoint
parseval: It just created
a new ticker for MPEx
parseval: Does anyone know if there's
a log file for assbot that goes back several months that I could nab? I mean other than the bitcoin-assets.com channel log

a storm in Florida. It was hillarious.

a man holding
a sign by an offramp that served
a self-serve gas station yesterday.

a megahash is
a megahash, except when it's
a smaller piece of the pie
benkay: yeah but i'm
a pessimist.
benkay: so
a 1 year payback at current lowest ask on btct for virtualmine
mircea_popescu: anyone with
a clue would just call things what they are (ie, futures) rather than pretend they're "making
a company"
mircea_popescu: basically you're taking the owner's cp risk in
a futures contract.
mircea_popescu: there's
a difference between an actual virtual corp and an imaginary virtual corp
mircea_popescu: jborkl_ not
a matter of dumb necessarily more like meaningless. you are using his system (therefore trusting it) to express... your lack of trust in him.
mircea_popescu: i bet you that
a full investigation would reveal every single auiction ever conducted on that forum had shill bidding
kakobrekla: >If you mistrust Garr255, use the trust system. I'm not going to remove anyone from the default trust network for rating Garr255 negatively. But scammer tags require
a more severe crime than just going against the expectations of bidders.
parseval:
A couple of people hit me up on Google+ asking for it
ThickAsThieves: I have several seeds still germinating, just
a matter of which will be harvested first
benkay: you've spent
a serious amount of time building your identity and trust therein. handing that over is going to be extremely nontrivial.
benkay: is this
a perpetual hustle? how do you plan to extricate yourself?
benkay: man, you're chasing freedom and running
a thing where you have shareholders
parseval: But then I'd only sell off
a portion of the shares, so if it came to voting I'd have all of the sway anyway
parseval: If I ever start
a security, I need some kind of Benevolent Dictator for Life clause
dooglus: and have
a part of the bankroll myself. I don't need to make much for the site to support itself
parseval: Not necessarily, dooglus.. You could have players bet against each other. Kind of like bitbet with
a 'market prediction' system where you take
a rakeback
dooglus: I don't know, to be honest. I charge
a 1% commission on investor net profits per week
ThickAsThieves: [22:44] <mircea_popescu> the genius idea is actually
a very bad idea, but anyway.
dooglus: I hear Mr. P wants
a word?
benkay_: world however is unfair and trying to make it fair is not
a good use of energy.
jcpham: it's not even
a rape manual
thebombdoe: and pretty much... its 45k

a lucker on the bitcoin talk forms haha.
ozbot: Depositing
a Little Common Sense into the Law
kakobrekla: You've probably been wondering what's been happening with Crypto Street. We've been working closely with various regulatory agencies and things are taking
a bit longer than we had hoped. In the mean time, we've revamped our engine and shifted to
a crypto-only exchange. That means that (for now) you won't be able to fund your account with USD, but we hope that'll change soon.
thebombdoe: haha thanks guys :) thickasthieves, thanks for all your work :) i own
a fair number on havelock
thebombdoe: is there
a site to see all the places tobuy bitcoin stocks

a resource and in general not
a very valuable one"

ThickAsThieves: LibertyBit,
a bitcoin exchange registered in Canada has announced its temporary closure. It says that this has come as
a result of bank account closures and fraudulent account activity. The exchange had been acclaimed by Reddit users for use of the Google Authenticator for two-factor authentication to increase security. Ultimately, this has not helped the business remain trouble free.
gribble: smickles was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 11 weeks, 1 day, 2 hours, 21 minutes, and 16 seconds ago: <smickles>
a bitcoin atm could be the easiest way to send money to
a friend, each of you just goes to an atm
jordandotdev: I believe that's it so I was looking for an explanation, how shares are assigned if you deal through
a broker etc.
jordandotdev: well yes, I don't necessarily want to spend 30BTC for
a seat on MPEX
thestringpuller:
A trilemma is
a difficult choice from three options, each of which is (or appears) unacceptable or unfavourable.
mircea_popescu: I hereby confess to bidding up my own auctions using the "Werner" forum handle. This is despicable, I know. I did this out of pure greed. Scamming anyone was not the priority, getting
a few extra measly bitcoins for Cognitive's auction was my goal
mircea_popescu: jcpham well, i'm the only one that doesn't even have an account but still has
a sock >D
jcpham: kinda makes me think the person has
a mental issue
jcpham: catching someone with
a sock account just seems icky to me
Chaang-Noi: you ahve to admit 50% of money invested
a week is pretty solid
Chaang-Noi: it makes ,4%
a month? it has made over 50%
a week at times. oh... you did not buy at the ipo price i guess....
mircea_popescu: well it makes ~.4%
a month and some people argue that it does have
a future, that they have
a way out of the commodified market tarpit and other things.
kakobrekla: well its
a poor asset making lots of money
Chaang-Noi: i dont know, but it has made me enough fiat to buy
a ghetto
