asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I missed the brainmining thing when it started, and found out about it by sheer accident - ran across some published code which lets even idiots try their hand at it, while looking for something else
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but yeah, the buraucrats "do what they must, because they can."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: The linked article suggests that the tax only applies to ebay sellers who gross over $1M

kakobrekla: mircea_popescu, truffles is speaking
ezdiy: mircea_popescu: i'm yuzhe, btw
ezdiy: mircea_popescu: from the pov of dictator, it is :)
ezdiy: mircea_popescu: indeed :)
truffles: do u know he put mircea_popescu on ignore right after we were going to "debate" something he posted our comments on his blog then i refused to subscribe, right around the time he paid people to troll SomthingAwful forums
ezdiy: mp stands, but might possibly fall, because mircea_popescu is uber consistent in everything
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: AFAIK you don't have a monopoly on PGP
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, pgp.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sure, I agree, this is a stretch of the imagination. but let's imagine.

benkay: thanks mircea_popescu, feel free to pm it over
benkay: mircea_popescu would be only too happy to have more traders on his exchange, he just doesn't want to deal with the riffraff. he wants others to aggregate riffraff orders and place them on MPEx.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sure
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's like saying that "eTrade" with its $x/trade fees is a perfectly good alternative to a seat on the NYSE
