mircea_popescu: now, this is complete. after say what ? 1 month ?
mircea_popescu: of which issuers they want their email and btc addy communicated. fair enough ?
mircea_popescu: so, i glbse put the website back up. all customers login, and have a set of tickboxes
mircea_popescu: ok, let's audit the entire story.
mircea_popescu: you're basically sending this stuff plaintext over the wires.
mircea_popescu: email traffic is neither encrypted nor is it so reliable.
mircea_popescu: well...
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining i imagine the issuer to the shareholder, in your system. right ?
mircea_popescu: what if i didn't steal it but the users claims so ?
mircea_popescu: and they email me. what now ?
mircea_popescu: and i stole the email
mircea_popescu: and then ?
mircea_popescu: right,.
mircea_popescu: not for communication, much less for ownership.
mircea_popescu: email is not a secure means of conveyance
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining suppose i steal someone's email.
mircea_popescu: and have 3 accts with the same pw
mircea_popescu: if user X has 3 assets, you can't give his name/pw to 3 issuers
mircea_popescu: see, you can't split it.
mircea_popescu: that;d have to bring glbse.com back i guess
mircea_popescu: i still dunno how they can go from (users in db) state to (independent yet verified ownership) state
mircea_popescu: maybe.
mircea_popescu: online the gpg system might be sufficient (hasn't really been tested yet)
mircea_popescu: irl there's the entire clearance-holding system
mircea_popescu: atm the entire codes mess is due to the fact glbse purported to be an exchange, sold itself as an exchange, but it was merely a dumbass website, not an exchange.
mircea_popescu: point being, to qualify as an exchange in that sense, there'd have to be a way for ownership to be established and verified.
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining glbse was not an exchange in this sense.
mircea_popescu: /ignore name ALL
mircea_popescu: femtotube https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=46486.msg557843#msg557843
mircea_popescu: femtotube i posted it earlier.
mircea_popescu: why on a street ?
mircea_popescu: lol. atlas how much for a curse ?
mircea_popescu: the exchange whereby joe buys a sack in which may be some potatoes in exchange for an enveolpe wherein may be some money has nothing to do with free markets.
mircea_popescu: exactly.
mircea_popescu: :D
mircea_popescu: the entire thing could end up a morass of double claims
mircea_popescu: Luceo hopefully.
mircea_popescu: sounds legit.
mircea_popescu: .tr :en :de of the crooked reeses of women no straight cock was ever made
mircea_popescu: yeah
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic did he say this ? or just think it ?
mircea_popescu: haha ok
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining you probably spend a lot of time in an academic environment.
mircea_popescu: especially if no coroboration or proof is offered.
mircea_popescu: which is why we don't take forum shit *that* seriously. to keep our sanity.
mircea_popescu: yeah. moreover, about how there's little choice in the matter : you're always going to create confusion. it's part of communication.
mircea_popescu: i'm not defending theymos wtf.
mircea_popescu: well theymos is also an idiot. i was just using this as a convenient example.
mircea_popescu: which will always be the case no matter who or what.
mircea_popescu: yes, but it only becomes fine after you overcome your initial interpretation of what i said
mircea_popescu: i never claimed i saw the guy murder someone. i just claimed i saw a murder.
mircea_popescu: there's never going to be a workable version were we instantly understand what the other means just by reading the words
mircea_popescu: the reason natural languages are natural is that you always have to begin communication by negotiating terms.
mircea_popescu: but atlas has it, it's not really a notable argument.
mircea_popescu: i judged myself close enough.
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining for the same reason you decide you saw a screen i decide i saw a murder.
mircea_popescu: gotta learn to live with people's many lines.
mircea_popescu: how you draw the lines is arbitrary
mircea_popescu: fact of the matter is, knowledge is always assailable from a purely nominalist perspective.
mircea_popescu: how close ?
mircea_popescu: maybe it's something else.
mircea_popescu: maybe you're wrong.
mircea_popescu: right. because why ?
mircea_popescu: or an actual screen ?
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining when you look at your computer do you see something that seems like a screen
mircea_popescu: and i don't think you're particularly right, either.
mircea_popescu: well BTC-Mining you're in a very studied minority.
mircea_popescu: ____Atlas_____ 100 sqft
mircea_popescu: well what did i see ?
mircea_popescu: and i doubt we'll ever agree on this point
mircea_popescu: well that's the problem. you haven't, but in your place i have.
mircea_popescu: have you witnessed a murder or not ?
mircea_popescu: now look. if i go into a house with a girl and come out with a body
mircea_popescu: you're comitting the exact converse of the error you protest it seems. theymos saw something, did he ?
mircea_popescu: maybe he did.
mircea_popescu: i guess it's a difference of approach.
mircea_popescu: you can write it any way you please, but unless it's "here's so and so and here's the proof" it ain't a fact.
mircea_popescu: something's not a fact by virtue of carrying a "fact" tag given by the author.
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining things presented as fact but w/o acompanying documentation should be read as opinions.
mircea_popescu: what's this, a coloring book ?
mircea_popescu: "His name is Nefario. How could you people not see this coming?" this is so retarded.
mircea_popescu: seems rather convincing to me too.
mircea_popescu: needs to be preserved for posteriority.
mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=115669.msg1249531#msg1249531 somebody quote this lol
mircea_popescu: maybe my screen is black ?
mircea_popescu: ____Atlas_____ remind me what has this to do with btc assets
mircea_popescu: govt = just one of the mobs.
mircea_popescu: now that much is true
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic i dunno much about china
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic not really true. the russians never got anywhere against their vor.
mircea_popescu: you have to be a certain sort.
mircea_popescu: sure it can. but it can't be aquired by just about anybody.
mircea_popescu: "have value" means you're a cow.
mircea_popescu: nice.
mircea_popescu: they choose.
mircea_popescu: this consumer culture. you think you chose ? why'd you choose. you're the cow.
mircea_popescu: dude gtfo.
