mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily well you know, people ocasionally go hang out. but
mircea_popescu: gotta remember, we're on the web. and the web is for spiders.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it's complicated and has a lot to do with spiders.
mircea_popescu: when i originally picked a date for the secret conference, it was mostly tied to when this particular walkway of cherries would likely be in bloom.
mircea_popescu: Namworld it has been for a week. all the cherry trees are pink
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla does assbot support this many lines ? such wow. much amount.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it seems just by the time you're done with your post you can start on another eh.
mircea_popescu: (this software works so that if anyone is mentioned - or has any strings of interest mentioned - they get a signal)
mircea_popescu: until the securities and exchange comission of panama figures out how to work with me, i guess this shitshow'll continue.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i buy that just about as much as any other flying pigs scenario.
mircea_popescu: a guy by the name topace used to, and claims he is no longer because some offshore corp bought it.
mircea_popescu: but this is what passes for "pr" these days, at least at the havelock level of things.
mircea_popescu: obviously this is not what one would read, be that one reasonable or otherwise, and obviously this point is not lost on them.
mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily anyway, if you're positive-constructively inclined, they probably mean "with none of the risk holding your own btc entails, such as you not having a clue and deleting the wallet"
mircea_popescu: recently, it was discovered (here) that they had misworded their contract.
mircea_popescu: well that seems just about the average stupid thing they'd say.
mircea_popescu: resulting in a good 4k btc loss for their "investors".
mircea_popescu: c) that havelock has a history of allowing high rent corporations to just walk away from their obligations, such as they did in the case of virtex,
mircea_popescu: b) that while neobee spends a lot of time executing, it's so far failed to actually come up with a business plan. anyone can buy advertising, and overpay for it.
mircea_popescu: a) that while neobee collected funds (on havelock), they have yet to issue a report. this is eerily reminescent of the bitcoin foundation scam, and does not bode well
mircea_popescu: nothing too highly. to keep this short and sweet, the objections are :
mircea_popescu: the neobee people bought a lot of newspaper space recently, that hat you mean ?
mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily if not, there's going to be another in 2015 anyway, so.

mircea_popescu: and if the sec was at my april 2013 conference, they could have known about mtgox nine months in advance,
mircea_popescu: we could have together avoided a shitton of loss and misery.
mircea_popescu: now, if the sec had actually had a gpgkey registered with me in april 2012,
mircea_popescu: and unravelling a bunch of scammers posing as "bitcoin bankers" and issuing "credit ratings" and whatnot

mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily not other than the limits of how many shares there exist in that company.
mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily take for instance mpoe-pr. you familiar with her body of work ?
mircea_popescu: there's a lengthy list, and all this is strictly a mpex thing, nobody else does it.
mircea_popescu: what mpex does is for fiat institutions to recognise there are people who understand how things work and are currently working to prevent such corner cases and bad behaviour
mircea_popescu: mpex keeps a list of what a signature owns, in btc or instruments.
