mircea_popescu: here's the difference : this service is doing things right and has a little humour. the others are mostly humourless hacks doing things wrong.

mircea_popescu: i'm currently worth some 10s of k's in cash and some 100s of k's in stock
mircea_popescu: ok, i got a better one maybe. cars crash all the time, is that a lesson not to drive ?
mircea_popescu: Anduck people get divorced all the time, is that a lesson not to get married ?
mircea_popescu: moreover, if someone knew why people trust them they could hack more trust i guess
mircea_popescu: then again, there was that pool-cum-ponzi combo recently
mircea_popescu: Graet arguably tho, much less trust is needed to mine on a pool. at most they lose a few day's hash
mircea_popescu: i think some people met pirate or else someone hired for the job at some point
mircea_popescu: Graet his q is pretty stumping tho. i mean, why do people trust one!
mircea_popescu: possibly not at first. it's been going for a while tho.
mircea_popescu: as to smickles i never met him irl but he's been my broker for a while and upstanding.
mircea_popescu: none of these actually ever did what they were supposed to. the bmf thing never had actual mining gear, for isntance.
mircea_popescu: Anduck he had a miningthing (bmf), an insurance thing (cpa) and a braindamaged cdo thing (nyan series)
mircea_popescu: you're probably looking at more drama than it's worth.
mircea_popescu: Ukto well, he's nutty and fucked up a set of imaginary assets.
mircea_popescu: apparently they've taken egold and added some ponzi to the mix.
mircea_popescu: "eNumbered is the choice of Occupy, Anonymous and Silk Road users." << ahaha people are seriously retarded enough to think this is a selling point ?
mircea_popescu: and we could have babies and name them all mircea mircea
mircea_popescu: i was perturbed enough a year or so ago when i found out who mircea monroe is
mircea_popescu: "The percentage of working age Americans with a job has been under 59 percent for 39 months in a row."
mircea_popescu: bitcoin had ~60k hosts last sept but is around 18k now
mircea_popescu: and he says he has experience. yet even hedge funds stop shy of 100:!
mircea_popescu: and then took that leverage and did a 5:1 on top of it at bitcoinica
mircea_popescu: basically, he was trading 20k of OPM on the strenght of 180 of his own
mircea_popescu: well at any rate i'm not going bust over 1700 btc omfg.
mircea_popescu: but you know... i was here before pirate. some people preferred bitcoinica to mpoe. those people got screwed. it was a choice tho wasn't it.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, i should probably learn about quotation marks
mircea_popescu: what is with this expectation! it's getting ridiculous
mircea_popescu: spot sellers a la d&t DBordello etc are probably safe for a while yet, but in general it's a closing window.
