mircea_popescu: im not doing anything on reddit, so that might be
a good spot.
mircea_popescu: it's possible
a good idea to snipe people who complain about how "difficult" or w./e mpex is,
mircea_popescu: jurov well i can tell you forum advertising has
a horrible roi
mircea_popescu: i recall kakobrekla complaining about poor smpake uptake
a few weeks ago too, for that matter. i doubt it has anything to do with the girl.
smickles: jurov: heh, no need to be sorry. There's
a lot of uncertanty out there
BTC-Mining: Nah, probably just
a single market maker
mircea_popescu: actually, this could be
a kickass research paper. all the social groups meeting around btc have serious trouble distinguishing the others.
mircea_popescu: finance people will control the bitcoin world. they are moving in but very slowly (mostly because they have trouble distinguishing
A and C, and despise B)
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is made up roughly by thirds : one third is very intelligent but softspoken and
a little aspie tech people ; one third is unabashed scammers ; one third is purest form of idiot
thestringpuller: but it is sad to see ignorance running rampant like
a disease
mircea_popescu: but i did use it at
a time when naked girls made out of letters counted as porn
thestringpuller: so youve been using the internet
a long time mircea_popescu
thestringpuller:

smickles: lol, mircea_popescu, what's up with your /c crowd? they have
a huge naruto cosplay thread capped off

mircea_popescu: smickles no, it was "o, this thing i made SUCKS and it was badly managed and it's pure bulshit and
a scam heaven"
smickles: i was thinking there was
a play like long the future, buy
a put
thestringpuller: you can make it perceived that way if you have pools in
a warchest of sorts
thestringpuller: even credit cards aren't processed on demand, they are only auth'ed on demand, VISA/MasterCard sends
a signal directly to the processor, the processor checks the available balances of the accounts and sends back an auth response accepted/declined. only at night are the accounts truly reconciled. for btc why would it be any different?
vampireb_: i am not sure what "liquidate" means, still you would need
a 3rd party to process the transactions. which will be out of reach for
a lot of ppl.
thestringpuller: vampireb_: what i'm getting at is it takes
a while to make the steps to liquidate into an account seamless, I want to make
a solution anyone who wants to take the effort can set up on their own servers and spend cash with
a prepaid card/debit card of their choosing
thestringpuller: it's not seamless yet but with
a few more tweaks it will be
thestringpuller: vampireb_: you can have reloadable cards issued to your business but it requires
a KYC check
vampireb_: well to issue
a debit card, you need to have
a help from
a bank.
rg: 1 amex transaction
a month hardly justified the fee
rg: so fi ONE person used amex to buy
a $5 thing
rg: we had
a flat fee with AMEX
rg: i used to manage
a convenience store
EskimoBob: if you have
a card reader and
a client, that can connect to blockchain?
vampireb_: of course. 3rd party would be
a bank
EskimoBob: card reader can be plugged to
a pc or laptop and client software
vampireb_: you need
a bank to process transactions
thestringpuller: as I told smickles I'm working on
a (maybe open source) solution for bitinstants debit card
thestringpuller: I feel strange being
a btc advocate and working for
a credit card processor during the day
EskimoBob: pigeons: picture of you flying and holding
a bitcoin betwwen you peek
PsychoticBoy: as much of
a G.I.R.L. as I am (Guy In Real Life)
EskimoBob: ;rate usagi -100 is not even
a real girl
pigeons: ;rate EskimoBob -10 scammer isn't even
a real eskimo
EskimoBob: I posted
a updated contract and i think the issue of ART-OTA being
a security is resolved.
EskimoBob: Looks like this is
a really slow process. Question is: why so slow
mircea_popescu: i never had
a name for it before anyway, always kinda felt left out.
MrTiggr: * MrTiggr is now know as Turdlord ... thats
a cool nichk :D
mircea_popescu: no idea what's going on, i think last poster may be calling someone
a turdlord or something but i cant actually tell. possible drugs.
mircea_popescu: "I don't have to dispute or even answer you, because you're
a whacked out loser." hey smickles, you suck nao.
mircea_popescu: i know they were carrying
a buncha debt on the books since forever
MrTiggr: ^^ ive heard
a few comments like that
MrTiggr:
a qwik look will tell where the scammer-talk is going on
mircea_popescu: the one time i looked (maybe
a week or two ago) it was ~1btc
gribble: This order would exceed the size of the order book. You would buy 132263.32 bitcoins, for
a total of 2854946344805.6753 USD and take the price to 1337000001337.0000.
smickles: mircea_popescu: oh, so 'pulled out' was
a net number?

a total of more than 100 billion dollars has been pulled out of U.S. mutual funds so far this year.
dub: the roux cooked in there offends me
a little
mircea_popescu: heh you're not
a food snob, you're an internet superficialist.
BTC-Mining: Bitcointalk.org should have
a tutorial when you register. You start in
a cave and an old man says: "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this." Upon which point you receive
a bag containing the following books: "Trolling for Dummies", "Living Among the Trolls", "Trollslaying 101" & "How to Troll Further"
copumpkin: I was just trying to figure out if she was
a real person or just your feminine alter ego
dub: I'd consider
a corporate chef type gig in
a porno empire
dub: problem is that once in
a blue moon someone will ask you to operate
a less civilised unix and enragement will ensue as you fumble around without it
BTC-Mining: Otherwise if my tax reports are investigated, it's kind of hard to explain why you deducted
a payment to
a restaurant from your income.
BTC-Mining: I think I'd have to be registered as
a money transfer service to make credit card payments for people and deduct them from income.
gribble: Error: "bt,24hprc" is not
a valid command.
gribble: Error: "bt,24hrprc" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: Mithridates married his first young sister Laodice. Laodice was 16 years old and was her brother’s first wife. Mithridates married Laodice to preserve the purity of their blood-line, as
a wife to rule with him as
a sovereign over Pontus, to ensure the succession to his legitimate children, and to claim his right as
a ruling monarch.
mircea_popescu: "There's less chance of getting in any trouble with the U.S. government and there's also less chance of getting shot by
a terrorist"
Diablo-D3: they'll just execute you for being
a foreign spy
rdponticelli: Maybe I could concentrate
a lot more if I was in jail...
mircea_popescu: people keep whining about jail ? fuck it, i see little problem in going to jail for bitcoin. i'm
a bitcoin patriot.
BTC-Mining: But I have just found
a renewed love for Bitcoins over
a feature I wasn't aware of.
BTC-Mining: I don't see sending
a fee with those zero value coins as
a problem at all
Luke-Jr: Eligius will charge more than ordinary for
a zero-value coin
BTC-Mining: Well technically, miners accept transactions with their set minimum fee, so shouldn't having
a big enough fee along the zero value coins work?
Luke-Jr: I don't think any miners accept 0-value coins without
a fee right now
Luke-Jr: p2pool uses it for
a hack merged mining optimization
Luke-Jr: Bitcoin does not have rule that coins must have
a positive value
