Luceo: And idk what
I'm going to do when StartSSL asks me to prove
I'm Kim Jong-il,
I mean he fucking died >_<
smickles: usagi, you crack me up. now
i have a backlog of lines to read in this channel
Ignatius-otc:
I have a few in the names of characters in science fiction books
usagi: Look, if you go hunting on me you will discover
I have registered domains in the name of cartoon characters
Luceo: www.enom.com/whois/default.aspx?DomainName=fennec.name Like srsly
I must be a scammer -_-
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: can
I call you Martha in future
Azelphur:
I don't even use bsd,
I'm a Ubuntu person
Luceo: Azelphur:
I've fallen in love with OpenBSD
Luceo: Its cool
I'll make RS a mod
usagi: And you're new here too, aren't you?
I mean you just came here last month?
Luceo:
I'll make a decent forum
smickles: ciuciu:
i was just pointing out a coincidence :/
BTC-Mining:
I think a mining operation is sufficient.
smickles: and
i'm glad to have your confidence Azelphur
Luceo: And
I'm glad for it
Luceo:
I manage very little of others' money! :D
smickles: ciuciu: what a coincidence,
i too manage over 1000btc of others
mircea_popescu: it wasn't easy nor cheap, but in the end worth it. nevertheless,
i tell you, litigations of the nature discussed here are rarely worth it.
mircea_popescu: well, honestly,
i sued the romanian interior ministry and forced them to friggin change the laws
Luceo: Azelphur: lol
I have an aunt called Sue, and likewise >_>
Azelphur: Luceo:
I have an aunt called Sue, we generally say it's a description rather than a name :P
smickles: Luceo: lucky you.
I, otoh, had to deal with the scum of the earth
Luceo:
I've only sued one person, and he settled out of court
mircea_popescu: actually
i read but don't recall where that the MAJORITY of suits don't make more money than the cost to sue.
Luceo:
I don't think validating who anyone is means anything, yeah
I can sue him but likely my volume isn't going to be enough to justify it
mircea_popescu:
i can sue anyone and everyone. in general once you reach this point you realise how darn few people / corps its worth your time to sue.
smickles: geez,
i'm in NC and had to sue someone in MO
Luceo: Who am
I more likely to be able to sue? :P
Luceo:
I can drive to Romania, Canada is ~$1400 flights
smickles: ciuciu:
i post my own garbage on glbse, thank you
smickles: mircea_popescu:
i would assume he means a form of id which is made of plastic and 'issued to you'
BTC-Mining:
I suppose then not knowing who you're dealing with can be acceptable, and knowing is a small bonus
mircea_popescu: but srsly! the reason
i publish mpoe/mpex monthly in romanian is exactly that, get people to see that yes, romania is like the 3rd economy of the eu
Luceo:
I just get annoyed at people Q_Qing about 'omg hidden whois' like it means anything
Luceo:
I know,
I'm agreeing
tsukino:
I dont think its fair that you insinuated that romanians were scammers esp. since you are romanian
Luceo:
I don't care about anonymity,
I don't think anyone is more trustworthy because
I know their name or what they look like
Luceo: Even if
I know someone's real name,
I'm not going to travel half the world to sue someone for $1k or something
mircea_popescu: aha! is it THE cartmell tsukino ?
i was saying earlier...
smickles: ciuciu: well, if you read about mircea,
i should be a small footnote somewhere
Luceo: Mine too, my real name is Sonic TheHedgehog and
I live in Pyongyang KP
dub: it was certainly a big player when
I cared about network abuse
mircea_popescu: dub
i know ukraine exists for spamming, but romania is supposedly cleanning up.
mircea_popescu: <lonely_> can
i get some btc with my mastercard?
i can provide documents that im the cardholder, but
i need btc very quick
dub:
I though romania existed to scam the internet?
smickles: mircea_popescu:
i heard some biz you ran went bankrupt
smickles: mircea_popescu:
i would've looked like a bonafide geenass
smickles: mircea_popescu: yeah,
i meant to have a buy in there to catch those sort of things :/
smickles: 4`073`981,
I unfortunately missed that excellent buy opportunity earlier
smickles: mircea_popescu: sec,
i'll get the exact #
smickles: yeah,
i think the etf got in on only one round
smickles: ah, too bad
i missed it, but my logs are iffy about that time...
i've had diablo on ignore
mircea_popescu: Yea
i suppose so, but since there seem to be a lot of people complaining about funds being stuck in intersango
i have the feeling they will never get it back now that this is going on.
BTC-Mining: Can
I get any reputable sources telling me that story again or should
I just trust his own personal websites...
mircea_popescu: then again, if
i manage to get deliverable options already on something that will change.
mircea_popescu: that's the main difference,
i fully financed both mpoe and its morphing into mpex, not having investors aboard helps tons your position later
mircea_popescu: and
i tihnk they're closer to 20 and also, have investment.
mircea_popescu: course
i think trade volume is sticky in usd more than in btc.
mircea_popescu: mtgox from what
i understand is losing money, but even so they prolly have more in cash.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but
i don't think that many more out there. maybe, who knows
Azelphur:
I'm lies really, working on supybot stuff \o/
mircea_popescu: but that aside,
i probably do manage more btc assets than most anyone.
mircea_popescu:
i also run romania's most widely read blog, an aggregator service that dominates that market
mircea_popescu: Ignatius-otc
i run my own company (polimedia srl),
i am a business consultant.
Ignatius-otc:
I made an account at bitcoinica but read of others experiencing faked market moves.
I am familiar with them from chinese based forex bucket shops like cmsfx.
I didn't get a coin deposited before they shut down.
Ignatius-otc: btc is also an unregulated market, afaik...but
I personally wouldnt take on the risk of being a bitcoinica,unelss
I based in tor maybe:P
mircea_popescu:
i don't understand what someone based in the us must have been thinking to get involved however.
Ignatius-otc:
I didn't think bitcoinica was based udner sec regs? If so, huge derp on their part.
BTC-Mining:
I'm a bit too sleepy on this Sunday evening to read about anything.
BTC-Mining:
I'm just unfamilar with options to start with eh
mircea_popescu:
i just want to do things smoothly so as not to shock the market.
mircea_popescu: if there's not enough to fill in
i step in and supply the capital.
mircea_popescu: srsly, read the explanation in that last link
i put up
DeaDTerra:
I got a 100 BTC loan for 0.1% a week ;)
BTC-Mining: Bye the way, no one interested in giving perpetual loan to me for 0.5% weekly?
I have very good backings eh
Ignatius-otc1:
I would like options access but currently mpex is out of my budget. Hopefully in the future...
mircea_popescu: it's also the only place where you can trade options, the only place where you have margins, and
i don't recall if transfers are still free or not on glbse, but anyway.
mircea_popescu:
i think it's pretty simple, on glbse you get free account and 1% fees round trip. on mpex you have to ante 20 btc and fee is .2% round trip.
Ignatius-otc1: Sorry for my ignorance, but
I currently trade on the GLBSE and there are no fees to have an account there. What is the purpose of the 20BTC fee for an account?
mircea_popescu: if anything it will increase in time.
i haven't yet because the btc doubled.
Ignatius-otc1: mircea_popescu: is there still a 20BTC fee to open an account with MPEX?
I found someone with an account who would place orders there for me, but he wnated 10% roundtrip.
mircea_popescu:
i'd be more worried about december halving.
i don't think at the curent bumbling pace the various companies will manage to deliver enough asics for diff to double
mircea_popescu:
i hold quite a few gigavps bonds but im hedged entirely, just the depositary.
mircea_popescu: the reason
i wouldnt put money in mining atm is that
i imagine they will be hit by a double whammy of deprecviation
