trinque: though I could see an angle for either word there.

assbot: Logged on 25-11-2015 13:25:38; davout: the financial partner is pretty anal about letting people inside in the first place (which mostly explains why our volume is weak)
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-11-2015#1331421 << i can confirm that part, i evaluated their attitude at some point coupla years ago, found it much too far from obsequious, opted to ignore them. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: people will sit around in the dark waiting for the cloujds to clear so they can water their farmville crops, while oil wells will sit capped and waiting for them to die out because "oil is not fashionable". this is totally happening. and it'll matter.
mircea_popescu: that's what i'm worried about, coal mines and oil wells. not the amazon/google/facebook/apple babyblue-chip bs.

mircea_popescu: what the fuck is wrong with ustards ? seriously now ?
mircea_popescu: "But if you’re in Walnut Canyon in 1150 A.D., these guys are totally amazing! They’ve got canals, stone buildings, and advanced ceramics. They were so far ahead of everybody they knew, that they are absolutely the smartest guys anybody has ever heard of. They’re the pinnacle of human achievement. They’re the Stone-Age Stanford. They’re the MIT of black and white pottery."
assbot: Logged on 25-11-2015 10:25:39; jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=25-11-2015#1331197 nice idea, except soviets never knew how to do this.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-11-2015#1331365 << also true. but the advantage of playing armchair Cpt Counterfactual is that you needn't be disturbed by reality. ☝︎

davout: pretty unsurprisingly bitcoin is sold there at a 5 to 10% premium (in my experience)
thestringpuller: I've always wondered when the first cash only exchange will pop on Tor.
davout: (which is why we'll very probably change partners in the very near future)
davout: the problem being the bitcoin is scary, and that they're in the business of covering their sorry ass, while we're in the business of doing business
davout: the financial partner is pretty anal about letting people inside in the first place (which mostly explains why our volume is weak) ☟︎
punkman: davout: so does this happen often?
thestringpuller: Coinbase fights for the banks.
thestringpuller: Paymium in this stance is neutral. Which is how it should be
thestringpuller: or fight the institution that be.
thestringpuller: davout: but in your case you can at least give your customers a chance to clean the stench off of them.
jurov: i'd very much prefer not to
jurov: punkman if you were in davout's place would you wish to know the gory details anyway?
davout: jurov: i think by definition you'll never be able to get rid of the fiat stench if your job is handling it
punkman: davout, so you just get API ERROR: FROZEN or something when you try to move money?
davout: we simply tell them: "move 10€ from peter to john's" account
jurov: the question is, can sane btcusd exchange exist in the US jurisdiction at all?
davout: punkman: no, they don't. what you have to understand, is that from their point of view, we're simply shuffling euros around in their books
thestringpuller: Coinbase is clearly ill conceived then, if the end user has to obey banking regulations but cannot talk to the financial institution. And of course CBSE being a middleman plays dumb "We're just following orders."
jurov: lol why would they
punkman: davout, do they tell you why the freeze any particular account?
davout: thestringpuller: yes, that's correct, they actually have someone to talk to at an institution that's regulated, they are legally a direct customer of the financial institution
jurov: yes i can hire french lawyer and start talking with the bank (or court)
thestringpuller: with CBSE it's "Get the fuck out of here. Sorry we fucked up your shit."
thestringpuller: davout: but even in that instance end user can talk to bank and be like "Yo why you freezing my shit nigga?"
davout: eur accounts got frozen, but that's pretty much about it
davout: i don't think we were ever requested to freeze a bitcoin balance
jurov: like, they closed the acct due to,say, money laundering but no one was interested in btc side of it?
davout: honestly, i think it's pretty much the same shit everywhere with slightly different coatings
thestringpuller: Coinbase is gagged by the banks. "Bank Secrecy Act", so no one will ever know why their account was closed over here.
thestringpuller: Seems European banks are more reasonable than the US...
