mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, you polarize the lasers, you use modulated radar, there's solutions
mircea_popescu: anyway, whosoever gets anywhere even near a deliverable with this tyhing is getting bought out in short order, and in the higher millions.
mircea_popescu: they've been toying with "assisted parking" for quite a while.

mircea_popescu: courts need to learn the limits of their jurisdiction, preferably.
mircea_popescu: any bitcoins received as specified by mpex will be fully credited to the depositor in any and all circumstances.
mircea_popescu: ok, i guess it's announcement time : mpex will not be honoring the forth worth court order, or any similar instrument drawn by any court.
mircea_popescu: The complaint, which has a Background section with the question What the heck is a Bitcoin? also contains an attachment of 30 pages of bitcointalk forum discussion detailing the history of the story from July-August 2013.

mircea_popescu: first altcoin not premined, first altcoin not allowed to bubble, etc.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves indeed. this baby will do a bunch if firsts.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yes, but why would they ? not worth it.
mircea_popescu: kinda the original thinking behind central banks at any rate
