mircea_popescu: whoa. so basically super long variant of the "please sent btc to this address" scam
mircea_popescu: "Given today, 10th of May, for certifying bumblebee exposure. Not valid for any other purpose."
mircea_popescu: anyway, always make sure you sign statements that are clearly limited. include a date and clear purpose.

mircea_popescu: <BigBitz> they'd have to coerice [sp?] multiple root servers / root CAs. << this is irrelevant
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> but how mant GHs can one brain get? YOU CAN DO ANYTHING

mircea_popescu: so pretty much mining is a on the long term a way to lose btc, not make it.
mircea_popescu: just let it be where it is, put a postit note on it saying "Romanian Central Bank Gold Vault - Rosia Montana division"
mircea_popescu: but why the fuck would you mine it ? to bury it someplace else ?
mircea_popescu: so far these shitheads have been humiliated every single time.

mircea_popescu: that mountain happens to have been inhabited since the time of the romans (who were also mining gold there)
mircea_popescu: grubles old story. romania has huge gold deposits. always has. some dubious firm wants to raze a mountain do cyanide extraction on some cubic km of ore.
mircea_popescu: i've never traded that pair, i have no idea where it goes down
mircea_popescu: some chans will be shit. find the good ones and live happily ever after.
mircea_popescu: hardly a secret, it's why that chan turned into the forum a year or two ago. what do you care ?

mircea_popescu: in general they'll "think" whatever seems most convenient at any point.
mircea_popescu: fact of the matter is, business doesn't give a shit, sooner or later the tide goes out. when that happens all the naked swimmers don't really get the choice to run off and dress.
mircea_popescu: even if they'd have argued all up and down all the summer that it's not what they intend.
mircea_popescu: i think as time goes by the incentive to split is getting strongert and stronger
