a dozen, but somehow it doesn't stick.
tiberiusiv: why would i move to

a kidnapping in romania since i dunno, years ago.
tiberiusiv: if anyone got
a whiff of your wealth youd kidnapped
tiberiusiv: theres
a reason romanians have
a bad reputation throughout the EU
mircea_popescu: better off move to somewhere where the idiots are still kept at
a low roar by the traditional means of stepping on head.
mircea_popescu: romanian guy making ~500 usd
a month is going out and fixing the park benches in his spare time with his own tools.
mod6: tiberiusiv: maybe the bahamas was
a bad example. im not rich enough to know better really.
mircea_popescu: let me put it in the following perspective : american guy making 1300 usd
a month (mostly govt aid, he doesn't work for it) is sitting around listening to angry music and glaring at passerbys because "he's been cheated".
mod6: tiberiusiv: there are lots of super rich people here who renounce their citizenship and leave for
a tax-haven like the bahamas or whatever.
tiberiusiv: timisoara is
a wealthy region for romania
tiberiusiv: you can safely drive around
a ferrari in 70% of the US
mircea_popescu: if you think
a gated off island is
a great way to live i guess we see things too differently to discuss this productively.
mircea_popescu: you're approaching the problems of infrastructure as if you're
a salaried peon.

Namworld:
A little bit. It's from my country so... I though I could support
a bit. Not so many canadian bitcoiners yet. But fees on cavirtex are high.
tiberiusiv: dub first off most people never agree to
a law
mircea_popescu: there's never going to be
a "proper" font of rights, and consequently any statement as to their origin is pretty much the same thing.
mircea_popescu: as
a show that if you fuck this one his daddy's prolly gonna have your arse.
dub: so in order to protect your kids you propose
a law against fucking them
dub: well the bill of rights is
a bit of
a joke
mircea_popescu: the idea of
a state without the power to legislate is quite appealing, actually. pretty much the onl;y way "the state" can work is if it can make no laws and raise no taxes.
dub: thats gotta put
a few 'muricans into therapy rite?
dub: dammit people wanting me to be useful on

a yankee carpet-bagger
dub: you'll find it right next to
a confederate flag sticker
mod6: smickles: i've always had
a special place in my heart for anyone who sports that bumper sticker
smickles: that implies that there's
a lot of getting fucked about to happen if the price holds
mircea_popescu: then made
a mpex acct back then, had shares transfgerred there
unbalanced: And just
a coincidence then -- I do some polling stuff and we work in node.js and we built something like that. That's what I'm talking about, you brainiacs knock something out in
a weekend and I can't get
a project launched in
a year.
dub: whats
a fair markup for otc bitcoin?
unbalanced: smickles: is @dandirks, the strawpoll guy,
a bitcoiner?
unbalanced: mircea_popescu: thanks for the FAQ link btw... I'd already read it, but I'll have to take
a vacation to implement and the now-$2100 equiv for
a seat is out of my budget range. I was too late to the party so I'll have to stick with the passthroughs.
smickles: my wild guess what it was
a botched switch over to coinwho
the-bucket-shop: I came in mid conversation - does someone need someone to set up
a vote on bitcointalk about whether to add
a tile background to mpex.co? In addition to the cherries?
Bowjob: bitcoin such
a fail investment
unbalanced: But the all-white bg beats the one with
a container for the next.
unbalanced: I like tiles but small body font is too close
a shade to them. IMO
unbalanced: Maybe
a darker body font if you go with that grid-y background. Or did I misunderstand vote?
unbalanced: *That's* where I've seen coinbr.com before... for its charts. Didn't grok that it was also
a service.
dub: at least in my opinion, some of the rants take on
a scary level of MP semblance
dub: theres
a girl driving the account, sometimes she gets scripts or at least dictation
dub: I think its
a bit of both
unbalanced: (Someone will do
a lexical analysis someday.)
unbalanced: Ah... so MPOE-PR seriously isn't you with
a girl's picture?
mircea_popescu: also jurov runs
a broker website (coinbr.com) and i think he's doing something with futures too
unbalanced: Googled it, just saw
a gaming hardware builder
unbalanced: What's this bitfinex I heard earlier today
a few times?
mircea_popescu: cavirtex got more in
a day than asicmienr in two weeks.
Bowjob: the top hat maker makes about 500k
a year
dub: thats not
a spelling error btw thats lag
benkay: so someone just gave me this raspberry pi, and if I weren't actually busy with things, I'd set up
a mining company called "MINIMINER"
smickles: lol,
a whole bunch of 70.85 trades went thru
smickles: exactly, and haven't moved for
a while
smickles: i haven't seen
a mtgox usd trade go by in
a while
tiberiusiv: as i said earlier, less then 0.1% of the bitcoin users qualify for BTC loans as first you need
a BTC derived income
smickles: you gotta figure
a rate of deflation and tac that on to the charged interest
tiberiusiv: if you cannot obtain fiat credit in
a 0% interest rate world you have to be an utter deadbeat
tiberiusiv: his real interest rate is around 300%
a week
tiberiusiv: how can someone offer 3%
a week on btc without having the income to pay
Bowjob: I posted
a bet that ianbakewell is gonna scam
tiberiusiv: I should have no problem repaying this as long as BTC stays bellow $41.66 ... if it goes above we would need to work something out for
a bit more time to repay.
Bowjob: that short must hurt like
a bitch
