mircea_popescu: Due to the delay with chip fab, the new team believes we *must* provide proof-of-tech. Tomorrow I will post up

Bugpowder: With regard to BTC refunds, I have sent all refund requests to Tom for processing. I have also processed all credit card refund requests at this time. I can't guarantee that the funds were there to back these refunds - I have no way to know this, and Tom never confirmed having done the bank transfer. At this point, if you are thinking of sending me
a refund request, I recommend you do
a chargeback instead.

mircea_popescu: "When congressional Republicans played politics with this issue last time, putting us at the edge of default, it was
a blow to our economic recovery, causing our nation’s credit rating to be downgraded. The president and the American people won’t tolerate congressional Republicans holding the American economy hostage again simply so they can force disastrous cuts to Medicare and other programs the middle class dep
Bugpowder: There is some value that top journals like Nature provide, via good editorial staff, reviewers, etc, and its reasonable that they have the right to charge for access to the papers, for
a time long enough to encourage revenue from the 'professionals' but short enough so that the public can access publicly funded research for free.

midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: 15:39 < mircea_popescu> with s.mpoe acting as
a sort of bitcoin federal reserve notes <-- careful making statements like that, unless you are deliberately trying to make

mircea_popescu: Please note: Cryptobill should not be considered
a secure method of transferring
a significant amount of BTC. Since, according to the Federal Reserve, the life span of

a significant length of time. Administrators of Cryptobill.com reserve the right to import BTC left at addresses for more than five years.

mircea_popescu: all over the place people using it to post msgs against each other, vote each other. first I was checking the website alot, to see what was there. then as things grew, so did the drama, I got tired of trying to use the votes as
a usefull reference. almost all traded assets have some kind of negative mark, mud slung in their face, and its like getting opinionated scammer votes to me.

a bunch of drama.
