mircea_popescu: midnightmagic there's 130 btc that was missent. this was returned.
mircea_popescu: im not even, midnightmagic is as usual late to the parties lol
mircea_popescu: the judges ruled that anyone can take any ammount of money from mpex at any time at their option.
mircea_popescu: so no. if anything, i went into the suit so as NOT to have to keep it.
mircea_popescu: a. no. i specifically went into the suit as an alternative to the "i simply keep it" rule in force.
mircea_popescu: i can currently make no prediction whatever. that means no trust.
mircea_popescu: well, to trust someone means to believe they act in a certain way.
mircea_popescu: this wasn't supposed to be neither arbitration nor mediation tho.
mircea_popescu: it's just not practical to conscript people off the street for playing the legal scholar.
mircea_popescu: i think the best way forward is if one of the lawschools does a summer project for this

mircea_popescu: i wonder if bfl next step, after tackling the android miner market, is to make z80 miner software.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this was like 1988 and shit, not the early zilogs
mircea_popescu: that box actually looks like the custom power unit i had for my old z80
mircea_popescu: Korbman you'd prefer a fan box running inaba's hot air ?
mircea_popescu: then calls sold as the drop happened and puts covered/going long

mircea_popescu: i'm really not open to publicly discussing mpex policies anymore. they are what they are and that's that.
mircea_popescu: but yes, this IS horrible news for bitcoin in general.
mircea_popescu: i guess smarter people will find a solution at some point.
