mircea_popescu: or at least that's what i got. but anyway
jcpham: evoorhees i like
DeaDTerra: Okay, I am leaving now guys. Please keep a eye on the GBF thread and keep it calm and cilizied until I get back okay? :)
femtotube: I must be wrong here
DeaDTerra: so I will have a amount liquidated and that will be the liquid BTC and then I will have amount left and that will be the value of the illiquid assets
DeaDTerra: I will keep the current way of calculating NAV
DeaDTerra: I will say though, when there's a market for it, I have enough time and people want me to I am happy to open up GBF again, but right now neither of these are true.
DeaDTerra: okay I added a edit to explain that part.
OneEyed: I think it will need to be stressed more, as some people will expect the exact amount
DeaDTerra: Good just want to make that clear so I don't end up being called a scammer or something like that.
OneEyed: Yeah, of course, and I've seen your answer to strello
DeaDTerra: I want to note acount balance does not mean amount paid out.
DeaDTerra: Yea sure, I have nothing against that, it's a open market
DeaDTerra: once it turns just a hint of black I am out.
DeaDTerra: No, I do not plan to do that, I might though if SEC says it's illegal or if GLBSE goes the way of having to register everything. I am seing the BTC securities going from gray to dark gray
BTC-Mining: arf... but I didn't have a bid up
DeaDTerra: Yea :8, for the communities sake I would like to keep it going, but I don't have the time to keep the quality where I want it, and I don't want to offer a shitty service.
DeaDTerra: I am closing up Gamma Bitcoin Fund
gigavps: lol, i am wrong at times
femtotube: at least I can not agree
DeaDTerra: It has been a big part of my life several hours a day for a year, all the people I have meet all the people that have trusted me. Felt horrible to let them all down, but I would rather cut it off now then to deterirate and become a shell of what it once was.
Diablo-D3: I think maybe bitcoin just isnt ready for prime time yet
DeaDTerra: Thank you!, It was not a easy decision to make, I must say.
OneEyed: DeaDTerra: I have had the occasion to tell you already, but I'll say it again a last time: I've not been lucky with my investment, but you were very nice as a manager, and for this I thank you
DeaDTerra: Yes I am closing the fund unfortunatly
Diablo-D3: DeaDTerra: so that 1 BTC I invested, what did it end up coming out as?
femtotube: "mircea_popescu | femtotube just for my curiosity..." I agree, that stealing and walking away not to long after successful IPO are similar acts but they are not really the same.
Diablo-D3: I thought I was subscribed to the gbf thread
OneEyed: DeaDTerra: good luck on closing down GBF, I'm reading your post now
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining kinda why i like irc. the vast majority of scammers doesn't have the technical ability to hang out yet.
femtotube: I did understand that
femtotube: sure, I have wife and kids right behind me at the moment.
OneEyed: femtotube: yeah, one think I have learned since I joined bitcointalk in July is that it's mostly shit
mircea_popescu: I WIN
OneEyed: Yeah. I also have various dashes - – —
OneEyed: It helps that I teach how to write Linux device drivers in my embedded systems course. That was just a driver, indeed. Read the datasheet, write code, …, profit.
OneEyed: femtotube: I didn't "work" on the kernel, I wrote a driver for the watchdog of my dedicated server. I usually contribute when I need something, except for some projects that I find fun for some time, like c:geo
OneEyed: Yeah, I was a student then, and we worked on CVS with the team from a small company named "Cyclic Software"
femtotube: If I can find someone to trust and write good code...
OneEyed: https://www.ohloh.net/accounts/oneeyed <== shows I like to code
OneEyed: mircea_popescu: time is a factor. Concerning whether I can code or not, Ohloh can tell you
femtotube: I can not code at all :( but I have some cool ideas too
mircea_popescu: OneEyed i got tons of ideas for you if you can code worth a shit and are willing to put the hours in
femtotube: hmmm... not a bad idea but i do not like gambling
OneEyed: I for sure am :)
OneEyed: PsychoticBoy: I'm sure you're upset not to have had the idea first.
PsychoticBoy: Wish I thought of it
mircea_popescu: hey, what can i tell you.
mircea_popescu: PsychoticBoy i dunno why people keep thinking in terms of "o, a site"
mircea_popescu: i agree. i don't see how it's worth under 50-100mn.
femtotube: OK, I see
femtotube: i did it faster in my head :) lol
femtotube: I wonder when those guys will back the bags and move on. He got his 10 years or so upfront
guruvan: ah - yeah - that works fine, especially for a project I'm working on over here
BTC-Mining: It's been public since I started BTC-BOND
BTC-Mining: OneEyed, think I'd care about revealing my portfolio?
mircea_popescu: copumpkin the problem i see with substatements is this : a person could claim falsely they are covering many accounts with the statements for just the largest one
OneEyed: I thought friedcat reference was some kind of a joke I didn't get. Is there really someone nicknamed friedcat?
OneEyed: Yes, I know. But the goal is to get money, right? Given that both are on GLBSE, they are practically indistinguishable by casual investors.
OneEyed: BTC-Mining: yep, the most transparent I've seen in a while
BTC-Mining: I want to see first if BFL really delivers their ASIC beggining of November
OneEyed: Oh, "secured by GLBSE assets". I would chose FDBF if I wanted to trust GLBSE right now, better interest rates.
BTC-Mining: I can buy back your bonds upon request.
BTC-Mining: Doesn't mean I can't use more funds.
BTC-Mining: I do a lot of trading. I almost always have a large part of funds in bids.
OneEyed: I guess many people feel safer with such "I may screw you clause, invest accordingly" because they feel warned and more empowered by their decision to "invest"
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi "I now have more BTC than I once did. What this is for is unclear." wait. what ?!
BTC-Mining: Oh wait... 0% - 1% per day eh. I guess he can pay 0%.
BTC-Mining: Be careful there usagi... with statements like this people will call you a clown. I mean, more than before.
BTC-Mining: I'll be back
BTC-Mining: I have to go harass Amazingrando
mircea_popescu: i don't see an announcement, just random bs from usagi & retard gang.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, did he ?
Chaang-Noi: night all.. think i tracked down the dragon...
rg: i need to pay some bills
mircea_popescu: 1 followed just by i and l
mircea_popescu: dividends imminent i think
rg: since the first day i found out about bitcoin-oc
gigavps: rg no, i have enough for the moment
gigavps: i'll take care of them for you
rg: i just dont feel like logging in there, etc
mircea_popescu: OneEyed i was thinking of using bitcoin-auctiobn
mircea_popescu: that he cut rates in the meanwhile i'll pass
mircea_popescu: fact of the matter is, i told him at deposit time when the money needs to come out.
mircea_popescu: i would regard him as being in default for it tho, and neg rate
OneEyed: mircea_popescu: I don't know, it was a question on my side :)
Chaang-Noi: i mean btc keeps moving up
mircea_popescu: OneEyed hey, i started the thing knowing this so i'm not complaining.
pigeons: if mircea_popescu was really making money off porn, he would list it on glbse, so i know he's lying
OneEyed: mircea_popescu: does it require a lot of maintenance or does it run mostly by itself? (I would guess the second)
OneEyed: (I mean, only directly from MPEX)
Eisenhower34: and i have a Whois protection
Eisenhower34: and I have never been sued
Eisenhower34: thats not the problem. the problem are those comments : "Government ID please. ""We wouldn't want this to be another scam right?""Are you willing to provide a legal adress under which someone could be held accountable in case of fraud?" "I'll never conduct business with a "company" who refuses to even tell me the address where they are based."
mircea_popescu: i don't even know who you are.
OneEyed: Eisenhower34: mine would be more like MPEX than GLBSE if I'd do one
Eisenhower34: If there wouldnt be so many douchebags out there, calling me a scammer all day, i would have already opened a stock market myself... would take ~2 weeks to code it ...
OneEyed: I would trust you not to use them because you disagree with a business relationship
Chaang-Noi: if i broke some tos or something he needs to tell me, if he offers a service, takes payment then fails to give service its scamming
Chaang-Noi: he has not explained why i was delisted, i want the fees refunded
