mod6: hah, just some wild stuff i'd seen while there. it was like, "o the kid is sick?! flu, fever, shits? GET HIM
A HAPPY MEAL!"
mod6: i was sitting in the ER @ UMC this one day, and these kids had
a baby who was like, coudln't have been more than 5 months old, maybe 8?
smickles: we'll see, i think /r/funny has
a high turnover rate
mircea_popescu: On one bright and pleasant morning His uncle thought it would be nice To take his dear little nephew Down to play upon
a raft Where he was to work upon it, An this little child would company be - The raft the water[i] rushed around it, Yet he the danger did not see[k]. This little child knew no danger – Its little soul was free from sin – He was looking in the water, When, alas, this child fell in.
mircea_popescu: “Bout to do some looting when this hurricane finally hits….gonna get
a new laptop and tv…this hurricane might be the best thing to happen.”
veemirc: I dont want
a broker, but thanks anyway
Chaang-Noi: had no idea the sec might have thought it was
a crime
Chaang-Noi: well i did not know it was
a scam (and still have no proof it was) but thought might as well let people do what they want, esp since theymos asked for it
veemirc: mircea_popescu: i mean I want to login into
a website and buy and sell my shares, not do it through
a broker
Chaang-Noi: theymos said in public he thought it was
a scam but wanted to profit anyway
Chaang-Noi: i kinda doubt any of them are but all the PPTs are targets, and so are the glbse owners like theymos who asked people on the forum to make PPTs on GLBSE
a company he owened part of
Chaang-Noi: im not saying they will ever make
a case but something is going on...
Chaang-Noi: iv been asking
a lot of people and collecting
a lot of evidance about this. something is going on
veemirc: so it's not
a website that I would like to join...
mircea_popescu: listen, these are terms of art. charging belongs in penal proceedings. an investigation is
a civil matter.
Chaang-Noi: they might also pass it on to
a differnt govt agancy if its not the SEc department
veemirc: well I'm just hoping that there will be another assets website soon, because bitcoin world needs
a good assets exchange system
Chaang-Noi: some of the details are clouded i will agree but to think there is not
a real investigation is silly.
Chaang-Noi: however it should be pretty damn clear to everyone that there is
a real SEC investigation
Chaang-Noi: passed it up to the current guy
a month or so ago once pirate failed and shit got big
Chaaang-Noi: everyone who is an american and gave id to nefario and listed an asset, id get
a lawyer...
veemirc: Everyone says that Nefario seemed like
a cool guy in the London conference
Chaaang-Noi: he did not start it, he took over about
a month ago
Chaaang-Noi: theymos as on record as saying he thought it was
a ponzi and then asking people to list ppts on glbse makes him open to
a lot of shit
Chaaang-Noi: i said nefario was
a scammer but for differnt reasons
Chaaang-Noi: and that givng theymos
a scammers tag for abusing the stock holders in glbse global was wrong cuz they had
a vote and nefario won over 50% to ahve it shut down
veemirc: that's
a pretty pathetic way to get rid of opposition
Chaaang-Noi: im not saying the sec will want him but he might be more of
a target than pirate
Chaaang-Noi: like i dont think anyone has
a copy of his passport or anything
Chaaang-Noi: theymos wanted to shut me up, so called me
a troll and perma banned me with out warning
Chaaang-Noi: pirate did not have
a security so i thought it was kinda odd the sec was going after him, as all he did was borrow money
dub: that sea like that is not
a lot of fun I can tell you
smickles: mircea_popescu: you have
a reddit account now/?S?S!?
smickles: if i get good at what i'm doing, i'll start giving you
a bit of interest
dub: act now and receive twice teh bitcoins and for
a limited time
a ginsu shoe and tomato paring knife
jurov: re:tracking - it surprised me
a bit i got much more visitors from reddit than from btctalk.. looks like there's much bigger lurking to BS ratio
mircea_popescu: smickles i do agree criminal convictions for having sold firecrackers at the age of 20 are
a shameful display of statal stupidity.
dub: well yes, I think I would enforce
a single penis policy but I guess you never know
dub: im
a one gf kinda guy these days
thepulledstring: "Overhormonal pubescent boys sometimes conjure this imaginary girl that has no family, no emotions, no expectations, needs no food or water, spends her entire day nude in
a closet somewhere eagerly awaiting the amorous attentions of the young magician. The Bitcoin-killing quantum computer seems to share most of its traits with that magnificent dream of early teen years. Maybe it’s actually the same thing."
mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin is fundamentally flawed because it is
a deflationary system, period."

knotwork: on reconnect if old connect is still present your client appends
a number to distinguish new connect, evidently also making sure the number falls into the 9 character nick limit some IRC servers (used to?) enforce
knotwork: well now you also know
a kid who once called his friends from number ten downing street switchboard too :)
thestrin1puller: I knew
a kid once who smoked with Snoop. Apparently snoop carries
a qp with him at all times? Anyhow he rolled like 9 cigar style blunts.
knotwork: Maybe once usage tokens are working in Open Transactions I'll sell some and buy
a beer to celebrate
knotwork: oh sure I didnt tell judge I would not smoke it! but weed is more or less as expensive an indulgence for
a starving datacentre-operator as beer is
knotwork: I am
a Brit, this is
a commonwealth country I should not have to flee it!
knotwork: well not while its still illegal anyway. if I'd gotten
a permit before growing it would have been fine. if I'd had the money I maybe even could have bought
a bale of legal weed to put on his bench to claim gee sorry I am late filing for
a permit
knotwork: actually its been months since I so much as had
a beer
knotwork: No I am taking over the world (as
a loyal subject of King Linus, of course)
knotwork: I'd have to swear allegiance to the Queen of Canada, which would be an insult to me as
a subject of the Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
knotwork: it'd be an insult to ask
a Brit to swear allegiance to the Queen, hance my not even considering becoming
a Canadian citizen
knotwork: Disclaimer: I am
a Brit, albeit permanant resident of Halifax NS Canada
knotwork: or, comparing Kirk to Picard for example, its about proper British behavior. (Oops lets forget Sir Mick
a moment there)
knotwork: OneMiner re fans, maybe the economy is so bad that selling
a few platinum albums or popular movies is all that holds up the entire exchequer
OneMiner: Anyways. If the queen is only good for ceremony and drawing in tourists... then let her do that. They can be as royal as they want, just don't use any public monies or lands. Let them follow the same rules as everybody else if these rules are so good. Full disclosure: I'm not
a UK citizen.
knotwork: Because its British! It doesn't have to make sense it just has to have
a stiff upper lip! Sheesh!
OneMiner: Also what does being
a knight have to do with fans? And why is pop culture grounds for kinghthood?
knotwork: Hey wait, Captain Kirk didn't get one? Hmm? Wasnt he too
a Shakespearan real stage actor once?
OneMiner: Though I'd love the idea of being
a knight..... I may have to refuse.
knotwork: OneMiner you'd insult the fans by refusing
a knighthood if you were Mick Jagger or Captain Picard?!?!
mircea_popescu: haha no, but it's
a simple test for class. there's three classes practically, the homeless, the employed, the idle.
OneMiner: There's already
a legal precident for that where I'm from.
