nubbins`: look at the monthly statements
trinque: faced with "shut bitbet down" or "gift bitbet the funds to keep running" or "loan them", what's the right thing to do?
nubbins`: danielpbarron that was probably all of the non-mp investors leaving.
asciilifeform: i could see a ' bbet shareholders believe that bbet is mismanaged ' angle, but ~it is THEIR business~ and not mine, and their one option is to get off the bus, as per the articles.
trinque: this even assuming that it was entirely a mistake and so on
trinque: in the absence of assets it seems the only way to keep bbet running
danielpbarron: there hasn't been nearly enough volume on S.BBET to claim any sort of price falling, except for about a year ago when 10 or so bitcoin worth brought it from the 40s to the teens
asciilifeform: so i do not see the ' mircea_popescu is cheating people ' angle.
nubbins`: i still believe it was so, in the absence of conflicting evidence
asciilifeform: this is the part where i part from nubbins`'s interp.
danielpbarron: that's not true jurov
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i do not agree that the 17 was 'personal expense.'
PeterL: some of the smaller bids were removed from the orderbook, but the big ones are still there
jurov: asciilifeform: the price fell by 40% last month
nubbins`: now there's a logical leap
nubbins`: danielpbarron seems to think that one cannot point out fraud if the fraudster is party to the fraud
PeterL: there was some selling the past couple days
danielpbarron: there was a little bit of selling, i was on the recieving end of it
nubbins`: so it's okay to commit fraud, as long as the business you're defrauding is on your exchange?
danielpbarron: nubbins`> the listing agreement clearly states that at any time MP wishes, he can liquidate S.BBET via MPEx << QED. STFU
PeterL: so the only recourse shareholders have is to sell if they disagree with his decisions, maybe they could have brought suit for negligence before the rota when that was a thing?
nubbins`: danielpbarron the logic doesn't follow, please explain showing your workings?
danielpbarron: so then there is no problem by your own admission nubbins`
nubbins`: asciilifeform i'm not sad today!
nubbins`: the listing agreement clearly states that at any time MP wishes, he can liquidate S.BBET via MPEx
jurov: asciilifeform: there's the simple question, if sending zerofee tx is acting "in good faith", that #b-a forum could answer
nubbins`: asciilifeform agreed, he has held all the cards since day 1.
asciilifeform: and from my reading of the listing article, it appears to very clearly imply that it is mircea_popescu's thing and he can take the ball and go home, etc.
asciilifeform: presently i think it was about how bbet is run.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: let's see if we can agree re: what the dispute is properly about
nubbins`: asciilifeform kako's mouth is shut for the time being
nubbins`: <+jurov>danielpbarron: you already did, numerous times << HEH
trinque: as for my perspective, the tools either work or they don't. the WoT, deedbot, forum, so on, sorts itself or doesn't.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: did kako sign the bbet-is-sad letter ?
danielpbarron: oh yeah? where's that?
nubbins`: <+asciilifeform>nubbins`: it is difficult to have a useful discussion in the midst of 'your mother eats electric eeels. -- no YOUR mother. .. etc' << agreed, which is why i found hanbot's vulgarity very disheartening; she only jumped into the conversation to insult and vexate. mp's bringing my wife into it was a ludicrous response to me accusing him of fraud. my wife's not in the picture.
jurov: danielpbarron: you already did, numerous times
danielpbarron: and what is this, the non violent language center? who cares if someone used an "ad hominem" already. In my experience, uses of this term are stupid.
nubbins`: <+danielpbarron>it's not clear that Mircea is wrong. It's not clear kako agrees he's wrong. << that's beause kako had the private convo with me, not you
nubbins`: he's a small, sad man, nothing more than a mark karpeles with better book-learning. lucked his way into a windfall by recognizing bitcoin as an opportunity early on; just hasn't fallen on the sword yet.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: it is difficult to have a useful discussion in the midst of 'your mother eats electric eeels. -- no YOUR mother. .. etc'
nubbins`: his inability to listen when he's offered advice is off-putting, and his inability to admit error when it's glaringly obvious is vulgar
danielpbarron: it's not clear that Mircea is wrong. It's not clear kako agrees he's wrong. As for the others going along with your rabble rousing, that only makes me suspicious of them.
PeterL: so, as I have been watching my trb node sync the past three months (am I the only person who thinks this takes way too long?) it seems like it spends alot of time trying to connect to nodes and timing out?
nubbins`: mp's initial silence on the Nk, Nm node stuff until his other arguments were busted implies strongly that it's total bullshit,
asciilifeform: which was, approx., 'i drive the tank and if you don't like how, find another'
nubbins`: here's the straight dope. we all knew from the start that mp doesn't care when he's wrong, he just bulldozes. countless examples exist, i don't care to find them for you. kako agrees that the expense is fraudulent, jurov agrees, many others agree; the only ones who don't agree are you, who seem quite willing to let kako take the hit in order to maintain peace, and hanbot, who obviously doesn't count as an opinion
asciilifeform: but i also think that mircea_popescu explained his pov pretty well.
nubbins`: asciilifeform just wondering: do you still think it's a drill?
danielpbarron: i ran into this problem in 2012 when i wanted to vote for Ron Paul
PeterL: no, in Michigan they give us a ballot with both parties and we get to pick wich one we vote on
nubbins`: asciilifeform consider the case that i may consider my cat a steed. if i mount it, what happens?
danielpbarron: if mich is like conn, he can't vote vermin supreme if he was otherwise going to vote rand
asciilifeform: and wtf, i oppose throwing folks who are still in the battlefield, out of the lordship, srsly
PeterL: today is presidential primary here in mich, I havn't decided how to vote, half tempted to write in Rand Paul as a protest against all the idiots still running
asciilifeform: he was driving the tank, and it got hit.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: from rereading the log, you can see that mircea_popescu considers the 17 btc to be a justified cost-of-war thing.
asciilifeform: the ~only thing i know about mpb is that 1) it is roughly compatible with 0.6 and 2) he fixed the db locks bug years ago, and shared with me the patch, a while back, and it is in trb
nubbins`: asciilifeform strange since all but hanbot and mp agree that nothing adds up
PeterL: I guess it got missed in all the shouting
PeterL: did mircea_popescu ever say how his bitcoin handles conflicting transactions?
nubbins`: asciilifeform you read the logs as well as i. all are aware that the accusation remains unanswered
asciilifeform: nubbins`: did mircea_popescu ever answer your deedbotted grievance thing ?
nubbins`: PeterL stringent policing isn't a thing here anymore
PeterL: should the lordship be so stringently policed?
nubbins`: an obsession this is not. you asked, i answered
asciilifeform: am i the last one who isn't obsessed with hunting for folks to throw out of the lordship thing >?
nubbins`: who, if you'll double-check the list...
nubbins`: she's about as currently relevant as TAT
nubbins`: so that's both of us who see no merit to having her on the lordship, then
asciilifeform: so i am powerless to help.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: iirc the present tense is mostly re: eulora, about which i know ~0.
nubbins`: asciilifeform tell me something in the present tense and i'll maybe be interested
nubbins`: in fact, vexatiousness seems to be the only quality she's willing to share with the world
asciilifeform: ty trinque.
asciilifeform: trinque: i was explaining to nubbins` et al that hanbot, whom he dislikes, is actually more of a proper 'asseteer' than i, whom he seems to respect.
trinque: I respectfully tip my hat to the burden of having seen far further than one can walk (at least yet)
trinque: "oh, I'm only busy reinventing every piece of software and hardware this nascent cryptoculture needs to survive"
asciilifeform: and my understanding to this day is that most #b-a folks originally appeared here because they were involved with one of these things
PeterL: you have a weird way of measuring things
asciilifeform: i don't have an mpex account; am powerless to move so much as one share of anything; etc.
PeterL: could you define it better then?
PeterL: I think you missvalue yourself on this scale
asciilifeform: PeterL: assetronic is a thing
nubbins`: basically just a vexual without the youtube links
nubbins`: not belabouring the point, just pointing out that sauce from hanbot holds zero value, and if all she does is run the mouth and not contribute, she's just getting in the way.
nubbins`: fair enough. there are some here who do less.
assbot: MPIF (F.MPIF) February 2016 Statement on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1LbxHJQ )
nubbins`: and now she runs.... this? http://trilema.com/2016/mpif-fmpif-february-2016-statement/
nubbins`: so she used to do forum pr, but now doesn't
asciilifeform: so hanbot is more assetronic than, e.g., asciilifeform.
asciilifeform: (and before this, was 'mpoepr'
PeterL: she runs one of the mpif parts
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2016 16:56:31; nubbins`: then i realized that she doesn't do anything, and thought it odd she's on the lordship list
nubbins`: funny how this is an ideas place and so many are willing to look past the ideas and focus on the delivery
nubbins`: then i realized that she doesn't do anything, and thought it odd she's on the lordship list ☟︎
asciilifeform: PeterL: not so hard, but the reasonable thing to make it in would be shiva
asciilifeform: unless phf finished his and forgot to say
PeterL: would it be hard to make?
asciilifeform: and certainly not trbtronic ones.
