mircea_popescu: BitHub i shorted some long ago. i'd short some more but meh.
mircea_popescu: maximian part of why im saying i dont get it is in the hopes someone goes "no you fucking idiot, it's like so and SO! see ?"
maximian: I can't understand how Ripple can take off… it requires that you establish establish credit relationships with your friends or associates. I'm too fucking lazy to do that.
vampireb: i tought^^
Chaang-Noi: it seems you can create debt on ripple somehow... i wonder if this will end in tears
mircea_popescu: yeah, they've been all over how i hate them cause they r competitors and other nefarious reasons.

vampireb: i thought there were 100 mil of shares, not 50 mil?

mircea_popescu: yes, i agree it's a good thing. do you know who it;s a good thing for ?

BitHub: i was thinking mircea why don't more bitcoin companies just hire sales team
mircea_popescu: from what i see it's just a register this page ?
BitHub: i may offer a bet on the australian election tho as our first test
