mircea_popescu: artifexd: I can also just assert that the address isn't mine. Period. << absolutely. on the other hand, reusing addresses actually makes the stupidirty of "calculating taint" much more expensive.
mircea_popescu: it's not technically that, because in point of fact you *can* implement with single use addresses the same system. however, you could also not have, and likely the presumption will be that you have not. so it's more like proof that you have than anything
mircea_popescu: artifexd: It's like an order randomized mixer. << something like that.

mircea_popescu: so in a sense, mpex price has been more or less matching btc inflation.

mircea_popescu: but this seems hardly a discussion of value and worth.
mircea_popescu: i guess sure, if btc ends up 1 mn dollarts then mpex will be worth w/e, many trillions

With customer success as our primary focus, work has been proceeding on the crudely conceived idea of an instrument that would not only provide inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detracto
mircea_popescu: "have become an up and coming" da fuck is that word salad.
mircea_popescu: "The Forex Exchange market has become an up and coming method of financial trading. As an innovator and initiator in the online foreign exchange business, Rockwell Partners S.A. is a mover and a shaker and on the forefront of the online trading market."

mircea_popescu: so a team advanced enough to have had a leet 0day for two years and enough honeypots to catch a 2nd team in time
mircea_popescu: "We don't have access to exploit black markets and we are now happy to offering"
