a count issue. it's
a matter of making sure the girl is personable.
mircea_popescu: i invested in
a few films, but never wihtout knowing the producers
mircea_popescu: then again,
a bunch of idiots had credit at some point, through the sheer blessing of "being there".
temp_kluge: Or maybe they bought in early and everything after making back the $5k they spent to acquire 10kBTC+ was
a gamble for amusement.
temp_kluge: At least, the stupid-wealthy investors appear to be out. I don't think anyone will be offering me 1kBTC without even having terms established for

a few 100 btc players since we are talking bout it

a horrible time for btc finance we're going through. in the past THREE months pirate, hasking, nefario, harnett and
a dozen more idiots raped the innocent public quite raw.
mircea_popescu: but listen jurov, i think you being or not being
a salesman has very little to do with it.

a response like "you look like typical coder, they don't do this... shouldn't you rather find
a job?"

a bit lucky (and bragging about it)

a fuck
mircea_popescu: ya, jurov baby this is like "please write
a 500 word summary of the history of the world - use examples"
jurov: i see
a bit of cognitive dissonance
mircea_popescu: well.. fuck me if i see how you can educate children that know for
a fact it can't come to their neck.
jurov: good luck to find such
a jurisdiction
mircea_popescu: i don't really intend to have any in
a jurisdiction that has difficulty with the notion that they're mine to kill if it comes to it.
Doffx: Arent there like
a million dating sites now anyhow? Seems like that should make it easy to hook up these days.

a millionaire like yourself?

a way to see my key id ive seen smickles do it before
Lyspooner: i think it is probably
a coincidence
smickles: it may be possible for
a trusted elite to form who judge these things
mircea_popescu: as
a result
a fake sort of public agreement is created, for those foolish enough to credit it.

a point. someoneshould archive btctalk
mircea_popescu: most traders worth their salt in the city blew
a LOT more than the dollar equiv of
a few k btc.

a week or two ago)
JWU42: I am well passed that now MP - but was not fun for
a while

a username in btst channel?
temp_kluge: Idunno. I just know I can't send him PMs and he did
a BDK->BDK.BND exchange
a while ago but hasn't filed
a claim, yet.
EskimoBob: damn, why isn't there
a backup available from Securities forum before this usagi the ass-hat deleted all his posts.
kakobrekla: came back just now, made it
a little shorter.
mircea_popescu: "This post is
a piece of sheer brilliance.
A tour de force. Perfect clarity, insightful, no holds barred…priceless."

a massive readership
pigeons: i'm just giving your pr chick
a lead
gribble: (ticker [--bid|--ask|--last|--high|--low|--avg] [--currency XXX]) -- Return pretty-printed mtgox ticker. If one of the result options is given, returns only that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations). If '--currency XXX' option is given, returns ticker for that three-letter currency code. It is up to you to make sure that the three letter code you enter is
a valid (1 more message)
smickles: oh yeah, tack on
a - 400 for the donation
mircea_popescu: betraying
a complete lack of understanding of even the most basic notions.
mircea_popescu: jesus christ, people with
a thesaurus should stop writing lawyeresque prose.
mircea_popescu: Upon such sale of stock, the owners, officers, and executives of the selling company obligate themselves with
a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders.
mircea_popescu: course...
a coupla weeks to go, could do -5000
a day or w/e
mircea_popescu: (h)In case of
a monthly loss (which will occur occasionally due to the nature of statistical variance of bets), the loss amount will be carried over to the next month’s profits when calculating Net Profits.
pigeons: ok keep playing then
a little more please Bugpowder
mircea_popescu: (f)Immediately upon publication of each Statement of Profit and Loss SatoshiDice will pay to shareholders as dividends
a fraction of no less than 100% (one hundred percent) of the Net Profits, if any.
smickles: Bugpowder: as
a shareholder, thankyou
mircea_popescu: that the bitcoin protocol may well be used or useful as
a record of title is not too relevant in
a discussion of actual title to bitcoins
pigeons: there is work on using bitcoin as
a title system to real word assets also
smickles: and you don't become the owner by having
a priv key associated with
a btc
mircea_popescu: This is accomplished by selling
a true .virtual. ownership interest in the company to investors.
Bugpowder:
A lawyer friend was not impressed with the monopoly money SEC defense argument btw...

mircea_popescu: they're all fighting (with the current miners) for
a 1,3 btc stake the next year.
mircea_popescu: -I've got
a pretty solid handle on number of units paid with BTC and completed Credit Cards. However I have over 350 54G units for which the credit card payments need to be verified. If every single one of those orders reconciles to
a payment (doubtful), we'll be at around 800 of the 54G units paid for and in the ship-pile.
pigeons: ah, it seems bfl componenets are "being loaded on
a truck" for assembly when they arrive
