thestringpuller: I need a time machine
smickles: I finally got my wife to stop acting like a drunk person (bringing a whole tree into the house)
smickles: I'm actually a little suprised that sudoghost say my blog, that page has only had 170 views, and that's about half as many as the biggest fish page has had
Namjies: so I didn't read the statement as saying Bitcoin was a Ponzi.
Namjies: and I don't rely on someone criticizing something as a Ponzi to be a proof it is...
Namjies: I would have read it as being a Ponzi if they said the owner/administrator admitted it was a ponzi and could link to articles/investigation/reports/etc quoting/claiming so.
smickles: lol, it is a republic tho
Namjies: The person criticizing implies something, but it's not a proven fact.
Namjies: "Some people criticize the US government for not being a democracy" <--
Namjies: It implies the person who criticize it believes it's a fact/fault
jurov: then i have to retrace anf think maybe it's not a fact, jsut assumption
smickles: google says it's "Indicate the faults of (someone or something) in a disapproving way", and fault as "An unattractive or unsatisfactory feature", that sound to me as if it was something that is proven
Namjies: "some criticize smickles for being a douche" The point is not proven but someone is criticizing you for it.
smickles: "some criticize smickles for being a human"
smickles: that would be "Some criticize Bitcoin, claiming it is a [[Ponzi scheme]].." tho
Namjies: It just says some people think it is a Ponzi.
smickles: it basically says, it's a ponzi, and some criticize it b/c of that
smickles: I don't quite se how that doesn't imply it is a ponzi
smickles: "Some criticize Bitcoin for being a [[Ponzi scheme]]..."
smickles: Namjies: do you think the original statement implied that it actually is a ponzi?
Namjies: As it's a relevant information to the fact (the "incident")
Namjies: And whatever you were screaming/saying could very well end up quoted in a wikipedia article.
Namjies: You can get something included in wikipedia anyway by creating a large commotion worth mentioning.
smickles: noone reputable actually accused bitcoin of being a ponzi
Namjies: "Name has blocked bridge/shot people/other claiming the President is a prostitute. The incident... President's reaction..."
Namjies: Once it's quoted in reputable newspapers, we can add a section on wikipedia.
Namjies: Yeah, well just make sure your name is in the news as a crazy nutjob claiming the president is a prostitute.
smickles: lol, Namjies those refrences never said who accused it of being a ponzi
Azelphur: on that basis I accuse the US president of being a prostitute
smickles: and don't link to a source saying that people say it has been accused of being a ponzi
Namjies: There was a few linked articles.
Namjies: People have indeed accused bitcoins of being a ponzi.
Ukto: I have an asset list import system && claim system based on the way info was presented to Goat a few months ago
Ukto: I have been handling lots of btc for quite a few ppl for a while now, and am heavily invested, I dont plan to run away anytime w/ anything.
Ukto: this is bitcoin. any tos other than that is a lie
Ukto: but adding more features, and a nicer interface

Namjies: Quite a brutal break
mircea_popescu: looks like someone's having a heart attack.
jurov: it *is* bad business practice.. let the customer wait a month?
smickles: if that's the case, they need a better bank
mircea_popescu: a right.
mircea_popescu: if i hail a cam i assume it has gas in the tank.
Namjies: That's assuming you have a single account at a single bank offering balances in all the currencies you want.
mircea_popescu: basically, that's a "we're broke" statement.
Namjies: Yes, it would not take a month. It would still not be instant.
Namjies: BECAUSE they'd have to transfer from a USD account and wire funds to their CAD account...
jurov: Namjies, even if they had some administrative issues to move funds to CAD acct, it's not possible it would take a month
Namjies: Imagine I have a USD bank account and a CAD bank account. I have to transfer funds to one another and wait a few days for conversion & transfer to happen.
smickles: you can buy usd, and they pair you with a cad seller, and run to their bank to get the usd
smickles: if you write a mtgox bot, you'll know they have a strange system
mircea_popescu: ok, this is a bomb.

EskimoBob: so,little shitbird usagi is opening up multiple scam accusations and when he realizes, he has no proof, closes the thread and makes a new one
Chaang-Noi: we having a halving party?
smickles: assuming he ever actually did get a double payment
smickles: usagi: it's not a clear case at all, because nefario could claim all sorts of things that eb can't disprove
smickles: suppose eb wasn't sent a double payment, and nef said he was
smickles: if he filed a claim, and then didn't return a double payment, nef would withold his data from the issuers
smickles: usagi: did EskimoBob withold a double payment from nef?
mircea_popescu: a cool 260 btc just on p140t
smickles: the ones that turn a profit above 13?
smickles: i.e., go after the biggest fish there, or if you want it to be a little more fun, go after anything with a 10% or so on it
smickles: i think you best chances are in going after a fish much larger than you, you'll lose more often, but the big win should balance it out
smickles: mircea_popescu: do a little highschool probability calc ;)
smickles: heh about a dozen uniques from the fish game, and i'm net +3.147 btc
