a multi-trillion options position at some point in

a massive inflation
jurov: i considered non-bank loan but these whores ask more than 9%
a month anyway
mircea_popescu: loans will exist as
a market after behemoths
a la s.dice/s.mpoe etc are fully floated and held by 1000s of people.
smickles: and from the lendee's perspective, if i really needed
a btc loan, at these rates,
a cash advance on
a cc to buy btc is one of at least 5 things i would look into b/f
a direct btc loan
mircea_popescu: you won't find
a credit officer working for less than 100s of BTC PER LOAN.
smickles: I should start
a market competitor for these loans, i could just cash-advance on
a credit card, charge
a little bit on top and slaughter these rates

a SA charity article ... lol
EskimoBob: Guardian had
a good article about charities. Their main goal is not to fix the problems but to spread panic so they can get more and more money. And this was not about some small 1 day projects.

a girl born in South Africa is more likely to be raped in her lifetime than learn to read.

a similar topic of discussion
mircea_popescu: it's
a good idea to spend ten bux or w/e to support an author you like
mircea_popescu: I am inclined to assume that MPOE-PR is
a minion acting in behalf of Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: now, if these two are maybe having an argument about politics, i could see it as
a thing you say, you know ?
Chaang-Noi: i hope he is neer
a jeduge in real life
mircea_popescu: ofcourse. the word got out bitcoin has gathered
a large collection of suckers.

a car they build like "agile" software, they keep making new revs. they take btc cause they are "disruptive" like that ;)
mircea_popescu: domainforsale809 2:52 am you can purchase "mpex.cn" with
a very fair price.
dub: it may have improved but still
a major problem
midnightmagic: that used to be
a common complaint. however, using too much so that the plants don't actually consume it, is
a strong economic disincentive for its misuse.
dub: they have
a little S on the front
Diablo-D3: dub: 1 degree of global temp is quite
a lot of carbon
Diablo-D3: the data also indicates it can get hotter than this and, although we're not making

dub: 'LOL its colder today than it was yesterday global warming is
a lie'
Diablo-D3: ergo, I have just proved wall street is
a scam, QED
gribble: Error: Something in there wasn't
a valid number.
Diablo-D3: 0.24%, which according to your math I end up with
a little more than 2x than I started with
dub:
a dollar?! thats more than I make in
a month
dub: so I gues syou use that
a lot anyway
dub: or they give you
a $5k/month benefit?
dub: Diablo-D3: you have

a good month i make that every 3rd day
Diablo-D3: fuck dude, thats like, more than I make in
a month :<
dub: except you got fucked directly instead of via
a taxman
dub: well IRL
a lending business has insurance and if the insurer defaults
a govt bails it out
dub: if
a business defaults because its debtors default the liability lies with those debtors
mircea_popescu: patrick harnett was hoping to get away with
a soft default because he's
a special snowflake,
dub: yes well thats
a problem with the scammer tag system
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i didn't buy shares in
a fund he administered (that's
a diff scam he pulled). i just loaned him money.
dub: the argument seems to be that PH is himself
a victim of his customers scams, not
a scammer
mircea_popescu: you draw
a 500k cheque on the company, come to my bank, cash it.
smickles: that sound more like fraud, rather than
a common mistake
mircea_popescu: basically here's how that thing works : if i'm
a bank and i cash
a cheque drawn fraudulently by
a CEO on his company
smickles: mircea_popescu: i brought up the issue of common mistake because I think that, if for whatever reason the parties involved decided to declare
a common mistake, JoelK's suggestion that PH return anything less than the principal is wrong
mircea_popescu: if i sell you 100 acres of land out of
a plot of which i already sold someone an acre...
mircea_popescu: that's
a misrepresentation of fact, not
a common mistake.
mircea_popescu: i mean, if me and patrick had
a contract about this online currency which we both believed existed cause we read on something awful
smickles: also, it shouldn't matter who you are if you've defaulted on
a contract, you have still defaulted on the contract
mircea_popescu: but i vaguely recall you being trolled
a little re arbitrage there too >D
smickles: lol, mircea_popescu MPOE-PR posts
a defaulted contract asking for
a scammer tag and gets trolled hard, I post
a defaulted contract asking for
a scammer tag and get satisfaction in
a day or so
dub: I try to read what dishwara wrote and I urgently need to take
a shit
mircea_popescu: there does not exist
a mental hospital that could in any conceivable way offer
a more fertile field of study.
dub: classic convo in -dev, apparently genjix doesnt irc anymore because all the arugments are
a waste of time
mircea_popescu: they're buying 4 singles except why not go for
a rig ?
mircea_popescu: im not entirely clear what'll be like, but i suspect he's gonna try and pull
a mpex
jurov: The 165th birthday of novelist Bram Stoker has been marked by Google with
a Dracula illustration hahaha
sgornick: If I remember correctly, I think BitSTAMP got
a DDoS + ransom note recently too
mircea_popescu: i had about 3-4 hours of 5-10 hits
a second with bs requests
sgornick: BTC-e gets hit pretty regularly. Their thread alleges it was
a hit by Mt. Gox.
kakobrekla: put
a cherry in the square instad of mermaid
mircea_popescu: actually... maybe we could just use cherries instead of digits/letters. make mpex look more like
a slot machine.
mircea_popescu: and the discrimination between buy and sell has to cease. we'd save
a lot of time if it just were
kakobrekla: you should also make
a deal for ? trucks of cherries with the cat.
