usagi: Even just politically it sets you up as
a target. It's easy to take
a stance against MPEX because, well, let's be honest
usagi: Well, in one sense porn is just
a business. But,
a responsible businessman would realize it offends many, many people.
mircea_popescu: i just thought he's
a little unhinged cause his toaster buying ipo didn't go so well ?
usagi: Shit bird, that's
a new one.. what brought this on
JWU_42: <mircea_popescu> his mother was
a bank and his father
a golden paperweight << Now that is funny
mircea_popescu: his mother was
a bank and his father
a golden paperweight
usagi: I don't live in the USA and I'm not
a citizen.
usagi: How is that
a conflict of interest
JWU_42: DMC is supposed to eb accumulating funds to build
a mining farm
usagi: DMC is
a major holding of NYAN.B and BMF
BTC-Mining: Would have gotten
a LOT more than by just trading...
usagi: But before this I spent about
a month trying to petition Diablo to do it properly
assbot: Requesting data from GLBSE (might take
a while).
usagi: So I traded
a bunch of asicminer. I made some profit. In 6 months
mircea_popescu: usagi no it has jack shit now lmao. what now ? asics are just
a dream yet.
usagi: Think about it. DMC has 6.5 mhash
a share.
usagi: ---theyre living in
a dream
mircea_popescu: whoa, what
a little pearl : "We have also obtained 4,200 shares of DMC for only 50 bitcoins in
a special one-time "insider" trade with Diablo-D3."
mircea_popescu: moreover, if you run
a bar where patrons are regularly mugged, your connection to the muggings is stronger than the connection between guineeas and mugging.
mircea_popescu: the issue here isn't that "it happens". the issue is that it happens with regularity. "
a small majority" as they say.
BTC-Mining: Aye, under that logic, an unregulated currency like bitcoin is guilty of money laundering, scamming, gambling and multiple other vices. Therefor, bitcoin is
a "scam-thingee" too?
mircea_popescu: i dun recall saying that. did i say you're
a scammer somewhere ?
usagi: therefore I am
a scammer.
BTC-Mining: mircea, you know you complain about the way GLBSE is mostly unregulated as to which assets are allowed and poor speed... not that it's
a "scam-thingee"
usagi: Would you like me to register with gribble so you can take
a screenshot of me saying that and make blog post about it?
usagi: I have
a newspaper you might be interested in.. called the National Examiner.
usagi: You yourself feel mining bonds are
a dead end
mircea_popescu: "Nice... GLBSE is dead for me. My money will be gone in some days and i dont think i will take the risk again to threw money at glbse when even after carefully checking
a share out you can lose everything. Thanks!"
assbot: Requesting data from GLBSE (might take
a while).
mircea_popescu: this is why
a gf helps, you tell each you're gonna spend the day with the other.
rdponticelli: It's like
a wife, bc I'm almost all day with this play money...
smickles: mircea_popescu: yeah, i think D&T may have
a good chunk of usd held hostage now
mircea_popescu: yeah, we kinda need
a serious exchange competitor for mtgox.
BTC-Mining: Which tends to cost
a lot to implement.
BTC-Mining: And having secure servers for financial transactions is
a VERY COMPLEX FIELD. There is absolutly ZERO room for error and must be set up correctly.
BTC-Mining: The thing is, any server used for financial transactions is
a prime target for attacks
smickles: and money shouldn't be
a business' loss leader
smickles: so having
a hot wallet seems to be
a garaunteed loss
BTC-Mining: Thing is, you can keep operating with
a hot wallet for instant withdrawal if you take care about security and keep it small enough that you can cover
a potential hack.
BTC-Mining: Just that it should have
a very small amount
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining why are you such
a hater ? they don't make servers like they used to
BTC-Mining: And there's never
a godamn cold wallet ever
smickles: nefario: yeah, and there wasn't really
a cold wallet
smickles: dammit, i'm sure i had
a few coins in there
smickles: god damn,
a small majority == nearly all
smickles: unencrypted backup; "
a small majority" < WTF is
a small majority?

A] 45 @ 1.01 = 45.45 BTC [+]
assbot: [GLBSE] [NYAN.
A] 5 @ 1 = 5 BTC [-]
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu, theres
a shitton of bit* domains and buisnesses
mircea_popescu: it's entirely contrary to their own interest. you make
a logo with bit in it, people see and remember "bit"
mircea_popescu: so the advantage of running
a stock exchange : my address now gets all sorts of "insider info" about various bs penny stocks.
mircea_popescu: Bitcoinica is
a "Bitcoin Faucet" style free bitcoin giveaway site. Instead of
a captcha to get your free bitcoins, you have to hack the site. This is much easier than any captcha however.
smickles: oh shit, there's
a solidcoin page now
Obsi: That makes me have
a strange attraction to assbot now
smickles: well, it's
a good end to the beginning
mircea_popescu: it reminds me of this bed that got broken when i was
a kid.
jcpham: what
a milkly white ass she has
smickles: (i need
a good pic, i'm sure you can help out)
Rothgar: This is
a nice channel, no one spams
smickles: Obsi: it's
a quote of adam curry talking about how he thinks the media programs your brain
nefario: we might have
a separate page for all bids and asks
nefario: you'll be able to have
a bot sit there waiting
mircea_popescu: when it does load i see
a hole and then the volume graph.
Namworld: well it might not be blazing fast, but at least it gets
a bit faster each time it gets
a bit heavier on each page. Somehow...
nefario: I use
a toshiba satelite now
Namworld: Your interface is like
a stock market backend.
Namworld: The javascript to display probably changed, only that. Shouldn't make much of
a difference, that's processed by your computer anyway.
