mircea_popescu: turns out i was responsible to do it, too, cause it prevented teh crisis from compounding to some degree.
mircea_popescu: because i can't make future viewing statements on contingencies like that.
mircea_popescu: and i had to stick to "all i'll do is pass along all that's passed to me"
mircea_popescu: no, cause it's a future question and i don't know the contingencies.
mircea_popescu: now, it'll all come down to whether your claim is legitimate at thatp oint.
mircea_popescu: smickles i will (and always have) satisfy legitimate claims against myself.
mircea_popescu: but as explained above, this does not actually degrade anyone's ability to prove that they did own them at some point.
mircea_popescu: it specifically does not say what happens if they even later prove to have been mistakenly discarded as worthless (as in, are worth something).
mircea_popescu: actually what it says is "held discarded as worthless"
mircea_popescu: well or alternatively he could "sue" me on injust enrichment or w/e
mircea_popescu: (and that's why the mpex system is so good, incidentally)
mircea_popescu: there's two different things here, do you realise this ? your ability to prove that you owed X shares of Y is never going away. that's why you get stats.
mircea_popescu: which is hardly something you should be involved in ?!
mircea_popescu: so at the very least under the guise of protecting your interest you're trying to tell me how to sort my files lol
mircea_popescu: you were talking about "data being deleted". a customer wanting to push a claim would be in no worse position today, on the 5th of december 2012 or 2015
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining it at the very least changes the customer's position not one bit.
mircea_popescu: since for instance i announced the exact time, what's to keep customers from just saving a stat ?
mircea_popescu: btw copumpkin have you noticed the "refards" signature in that email ?
mircea_popescu: smickles but at least it'd be you know... he said by today, it's not done yet... well let's give it a little and see
mircea_popescu: smickles if he had the common courtesy to say you know, on oct 1, we are closed, i expect to pay everyone by the end of this week and release data by the end of the month cause so and so problems
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't accept one day. a week's a week. fuck you, pay me.
mircea_popescu: and his employer announces that next salary will be paid in 2050
mircea_popescu: so listen, if i run a payday loan service, and i lend some guy 50 bucks for a week
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining why do you think it matters what nefario said after the giga.etf thing was made ?
mircea_popescu: dude, what he claimed in october has no bearing on some instrument made in april does it.
mircea_popescu: at any rate find me some place nefario says "and btw, if glbse goes down i will take ~6 months to release infos" on or around april 11, 2012
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining no such license eh. for one, how it was said it was going to be done is "instant". check out the guy's presentations at his nonference
mircea_popescu: it's for lack of absolutely any reasonable alternative.
mircea_popescu: copumpkin fwiw, i contacted his theoretical lawyer about two weeks ago.
mircea_popescu: it's how long the thing takes, not how long the thing takes nefario.
mircea_popescu: dude... there's no doctrine of "how long it takes some mentally retarded guy to pay the bill"
mircea_popescu: you know, like if you don't make the mortgage payments cause your cat was sick
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining yes, that's the principle of the thing. when someone says they do something and then they don't do it, they get some time before being cut off
mircea_popescu: for instance patrickharnett is getting axed tomorrow on the dot.
mircea_popescu: but i stil lfail to see how the whole month of november is an unreasonable allowance to fucking pull some fields from a db and send them to peopkle
mircea_popescu: yes man, which is why we weren't having this conversation on the 15th
mircea_popescu: people seem more religious than business-oriented in btc.
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining ask copumpkin, i was pushing for pirate write-offs in august.
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining the sticking point is the reasonable part of more reasonable.
mircea_popescu: copumpkin paulson in 2nd place, that must have gone over well
mircea_popescu: and afaik at least one glbse failure was already resolved, without protest for that matter.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't erase the data right away on general principle.
mircea_popescu: is the guy here defending himself ? no, he's not. is the company still standing ? no, it was dissolved (retroactively).
mircea_popescu: nefario went silent, before this. their board broke apart.
mircea_popescu: but see, glbse.com going offline is really the absolute last signal of dissapearance.
