mircea_popescu: the truth of the matter is that i don't have an actual personality, i just do the opposite of what y'all are doing.
mircea_popescu: because life's too short to re-do all the shit all the time
mircea_popescu: the world in here is quite opposite. if someone does something well everyone breathes a sigh of relief and uses it.
mircea_popescu: mdev there's a world out there made of agglomerated shitheads, who imagine themselves innovators and revolutionaries, but in practice live out of not-invented-here syndrome and bad pr.
mircea_popescu: they've sold "virtual chips" to forum derps for 500-1k btc
mircea_popescu: ok, but you understand the cost for 50% of the hash is like... 2 to 500k btc
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla the gear they sold is sold. i thought he meant sold hashes, ie, rented gear
mircea_popescu: pankkake btc guild somehow never was the big bad guild
mircea_popescu: <mdev> them at the helm that insult and put down everything, from andreas, to blockchain.info, to /r/bitcoin to altcoins, list goes on and on << you know this sounds like cheap copying -assets :D
mircea_popescu: fluffypony yeah, you know, like Blazedout419 did here :D
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo they thyemselves do not. the unfortunate noobs that they try to buddy buddy however do.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo aff is kinda intended for the peeps that don't even know there's something to check
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you're 'mad hatter' enough to have these baked, i'll send you the vectors. << i'm not. too big (thick, bulky) for my taste.
mircea_popescu: jurov: and it needs 200M RLIMIT_LOCKMEM or such << yes that ;/
mircea_popescu: jurov: lol what i wanted to say? << jurov caught drunk in the logs ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake: this is probably the first example of the wot for +v selection failing << honestly i don't think so.
mircea_popescu: ;;rate mrstickball -10 apparently kiddo thinks himself some sort of rate warlord or something.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic: your transitive rating to nano at a certain level, correct. without trust from nanotube you can't rate. << good thing they finally moved away from the total rating model, that was silly.

mircea_popescu: ;;rate ognasty -1 pirate shill ; currently running a "security" that made a 60% loss over two years. a fine example of the scum that unwarrantedly imagines itself somehow part of Bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: but all this is moot in the discussion at hand. nasty is some random dork and Blazedout419 is woefully uneducated. mpex is transparency, go read up on the corps that have been publishing their results each month for the past YEARS and so on.
mircea_popescu: if thjat were the proposition, then it'd have been just a dumb as fuck deal. even in that case, claiming it's not a scam is marginal, much in the way adding a nuclear device to your doorknob is endangerment, even if you think people shouldn't have fucked with the doorknob.
mircea_popescu: Assuming it offers X for Y and delivers X for Y, even if X for Y is a bad proposition... it's not really a scam if it delivers exactly what someone bought. << the guy never said "give us some btc and in two years you can have 40 cents to the bitcoin"
mircea_popescu: Blazedout419: what amazing service do you run assbot:AMAZING COMPANY! << that was pretty cool lol
