a draft
dub: is it safe to click his link, might be
a scam
mircea_popescu: every few months there's one of these that might make or break
a few fortunes
smickles: So, on wikipedia, the statement about some people thinking that bitcoin is
a ponzi with lame ass sources, seems to need to be countered wit
a powerful statement sourcing the SEC, the ECB,
a law professor discussing bitcoin, and
a law professor discussing
a digital currency based on Austrian school economics
smickles: what is this /q namespace on namecoins
a place to spend
a little namecoin to permanently quote someone?
mod6: mircea_popescu: oh like
a bash.org for classic moments in -ass land?

gigavps: i haven't heard about kegels in
a while
mircea_popescu: "Then we need
a lawyer, ideally available to get paid when he recovers our stolen funds. Anyone can suggest one?"

a reason
gigavps: i was trending on bitcoinx.com for

a scam either, they have
a verified facebook page!
pigeons: so danieldaniel can figure out how to read the guide and register, but this guy is
a "developer"
mircea_popescu: This WOT is so complicated! I'm
a usual game developer. I'm not able to get how to
pigeons: this looks like
a helpful way to accomplish that

dub: The lack of control on the financial flows to and from the cyberspace makes recycling operations through
a virtual currency extremely efficient and very difficult to prevent, it must be also considered the absence of
a regulation to approach the cyber laundering phenomena.
mircea_popescu: LCTM is actually
a fine example. the idea of arbitraging off-run bonds is probably workable, if you keep expenses low.
smickles: heh, i'm not sure either, but the longer tails feel better to me when i consider that LTCM got hit by
a 'tail event' which may have been covered if their formula wasn't gaussian
smickles: i may have had it backwards
a little
smickles:
a Gaussian process is
a stochastic process
mircea_popescu: merton is basically "let's consider holding

a discussion about Bitcoin being
a security or not which directly impacts whether or not Bitcoin is
a Ponzi scheme. --Smickles86 (talk) 02:13, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
smickles: You don't see the connection between
a Libertarian who advocated free experiment in methods of transmitting value and Bitcoin?
smickles: Macintosh was discussing Friedrich Hayek's model, not Bitcoins, and is
a 14 year old document, discussing something 10 years before Bitcoin was introduced. I'm not following the correlation between Hayek's model possibly not being considered
a security and Bitcoin,
a different concept entirely. - SudoGhost 01:39, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
coingenuity: so there's
a bit of
a delay on specific items, but we're letting folks know as needed
smickles: lol, that sudoghost guy didn't see the connection between
a e-currency modeled on the idea of Libertarian economist and Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: judging by calls closing i guess there's not going to be much more of

a bit is 1x1mm, qr code would be 55x55meters
dub: using the dns I get
a 404
Ukto: it was up
a few hours ago ?
dub: hrm? people discussing in forums as if its up, been down over
a day
knotwork: since they all did i am guessing they maybe didnt take
a bump at all but, rather, litecoin went up briefly then back down
knotwork: kind of looks like down
a little for t least some of them
knotwork: those are the ones having the interest rates crunch, so they are thinking hey maybe we can set up safe options, where we sell options to make
a secure income on our heaps of this and that
smickles: if you could write an option for whatever you wanted, that would open up
a lot of interesting possibilities
Ukto: smickles: you dont have
a weex accnt do you?
knotwork: no no i merely meant if t-bills are risk-free then obviously its
a loose term of art to being with
smickles: knotwork: if you want to use tbils, then we'd need
a good way to convert btc into tbills
smickles: yeah, gl with comming up with
a 'risk free rate' in bitcoinland
knotwork:
a significant amount of secure debt was sniped today while everyone was already worried about skyrockets, massive players in the secured debt arena finally realised all their debtors would be sniped if they didn't cut their rates across the board, and everything wobbled
knotwork: easy apps to handle options maybe could have helped there, for example maybe if lots of options had been available for people to secure themselves
a peak price for
a few months so they need not panic...
knotwork: Software to handle puts and calls on arbitrary pairs of assets is badly needed. That is really coming home to people today as they ran around negotiating large puts and calls to try to prevent
a tipping point that could trigger panic selling if they don't get enough, and the right, puts and calls worked out and in place
smickles: thestringpuller: the futures market is

a CPA, it just takes time, and I have to work under
a CPA for at least 2 years before I can even attempt the exams
Ukto: to get an EVSSL cert, you have to provide
a letter from
a lawyer, or cpa
smickles: ya know,
a CPA can represent you in place of
a lawyer in some cases?
Ukto: if
a cpa signs, and tehres
a mistake, there is
a simple procedure to fix it
Ukto: if
a cpa is not singing off on them
Ukto: Everyone should always have
a cpa do their taxes
Ukto: I generally file about 300 pages worth in taxes
a year to the irs
smickles: Oh, and
a CPA can sign your 1040 as
a preparer, wehre oters cant
smickles: really,
a CPA licens is so that you can do Audits on publicly traded companies and such like that
thestringpuller: Why don't you do it kingpin style and hire
a CPA with an "offer they can't refuse"?

Ukto: I plan to hire
a cpa firm to do
