mircea_popescu: is this a reuse of that platform ?
mircea_popescu: seems to have been "going to" in 2012 and then suddenly dissapeared.
assbot: Australian Company to Automate Multi-Trillion Dollar Debt Market MMADX | AsiaEtrading.com
AdamIRAway: 5. Australians can make BPAY Deposits (it's an Australian thing), but we convert this to USD at around 2.5 % better than most banks will. International clients can do a SWIFT transfer direct into our USD account. The other Australian exchange trades AUD/XBT, but we chose USD to provide greater liquidity.
AdamIRAway: 4. Most people, particularly Australians (but other nationalities also), can verify themselves online within minutes, usually without having to submit any identification documents. In some cases we can't automatically verify that, we can still verify manually.
AdamIRAway: 3. We have a very rich API. I realise other exchanges have this also, but not so in Australia.
AdamIRAway: 2. Rather than launch something quickly, we developed an enterprise level trading system over a period of twelve months and followed best practice in software development to develop a platform that we believe is secure, robust and stable. My own background as well as that of our CTO is in enterprise software development, and previously worked for many financial institutions in Australia.
AdamIRAway: 1. Rather than rely on a technology/IT focused team (which is my own background), we brought onboard a lot of the executive team and investors with FX Markets, Investment Banking and Finance background, which I think has helped in many of the decisions we have made, and connections that we have made, and gives better overall balance and credibility to what we do.
AdamIRAway: I realise some other exchanges do some of these things, but some of the ways I think that Independent Reserve is ahead of a lot of our competition is...
AdamIRAway: Yes... typing...
mircea_popescu: AdamIRAway the idea was for specificity.
AdamIRAway: mircea_popescu... there's a number of things we do right, particularly compared with others in the Australia-Pacific region.
mircea_popescu: cazalla yeah, i feel you. but should really be one paragraph at best. just the details.
asciilifeform: 'One Romanian hacker was lured to Boston by Secret Service Special Agent Matt O'Neill, who used the Internet to pose as a woman and invite the cybercriminal on a trip to the USA to enjoy gambling and romance. "He was quite surprised that I was the one meeting him when he arrived," said O'Neill, who worked on the case for months.' << lol, is anyone actually this stupid? even sp4mz0rs?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, that's an idea, i like to cover them just so i know if/when they close i have something to refer back to if they change their story at that point
mircea_popescu: check out the sudden security everywhere
mircea_popescu: everyone OTHER than ms has a year to either discontinue their business or fix it.
mircea_popescu: <undata> oh good, more legislation << asciilifeform has it. "everyone ever worked for microsoft, one year in prison per year worked, plus one year in prison per 100k in salary ever received. sentences over 20 years commuted to death."
undata: asciilifeform: they're going to make hacking even more illegal; you'll see!
kakobrekla: AdamIR you dont want to be there.
mircea_popescu: cazalla i imagine these should really be all massed into one weekly post or something. X, Y and Z opened. K L and M closed."
AdamIR: mircea_popescu - I joined #bitcoin-otc. Will have a look in more detail later, thanks.
undata: << "Our government and our businesses are in a daily fight against hackers," Pawlenty said. "It's getting increasingly concerning, and it needs to be met with action by Congress." >>

AdamIR: Thanks for the invitation and introduction cazalla.
cazalla: no, that's digitalBTC
mircea_popescu: is this the thing with the bitfury buys ?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, that's Adam Tepper from that new aussie exchange
mircea_popescu: this was the mechanism of the previous hard fork : .8 miners included tx rejected by the network, moved on a different chain.
mircea_popescu: and an incurable one, at that.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> if 0.9 says "this txn sucks!" but an 0.6 miner included it, this takes us right to a hard fork << yep
asciilifeform: 'heighten the contradictions'
bounce: ``In August 2012 we first announced that we would downrank sites for which we received a large number of valid DMCA notices.'' -- they get flooded with bot-generated "DMCA notices". what do they do to make sure they're "valid"? looking at youtube, not that much.
ben_vulpes: i'm sure it matters to someone
danielpbarron: "zero point nine point three"
ben_vulpes: "oh nine three"
ben_vulpes: and i never say the decimal
assbot: Google to nix piracy sites in search rank - Computer Business Review
ben_vulpes: if 0.9 says "this txn sucks!" but an 0.6 miner included it, this takes us right to a hard fork
ben_vulpes: no it's totally in the transaction processing rules
ben_vulpes: so: isStandard() - this is not related to blockchain and transaction processing rules, correct?
asciilifeform: varnish - lives on transformers.
mircea_popescu: nono, varnish the web cache
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu re-varnishing transformers again?
asciilifeform addresses the worms who people his future grave 'eh boys, you'll be lighting benjies with lit benjies' ☟︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nothing I said contradicts that conclusion. At $900k/BTC a lot of things become possibilities
asciilifeform: a datacenter that can't be diddled from a safe distance is also called 'a nuclear power' ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Safe distance is a mystery though...
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: And maybe people learn not to visit datacenters uninvited... ☟︎
cazalla: irc.oz.org #ir but i've invited them here
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well what protected the Wasp's bag?
mircea_popescu: anyway, guy's prose is rather florid, but there IS a news bit in there.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: Who ever said anything about bunker having meat << if the universe favoured defenders of castles, rather than attackers, bitcoin would not be necessary
mircea_popescu: but as is, it's all the same thing, aka news.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know ther's really no diff the site makes. if commentary went to a special page you had to click for then i see it
BingoBoingo: I hit publish on Pete's piece, in the Commentary category not the news category.
cazalla: mike_c, which pete linked to but it's a commentary and as news alone, i don't think anyone cares what someone said regarding bitcoin so it could only be commentary on qntra
mircea_popescu: !down TheKingOfCPU
mircea_popescu: yeah hardly news this.
mike_c: nothing wrong with this in a commentary, but I would also like to be able to read the un-slanted version.
mike_c: " the world's largest banks gathered together to hold hands and sing kumbaya in the hope that Bitcoin would be gentle"
mike_c: generally the editorial that is slanted is not the only source of news on the topic.
mike_c: ok, that is good. but that is also news i would like to have.
mike_c: i don't mean to poop on pete, but his is the one i just read.
mike_c: all communication has a slant. a news article should strive to have less than a blogger.
mike_c: or, to rephrase. a news article shouldn't have as much of a slant as a blog post.
mike_c: should the news have as much of a slant as a blog post?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes https://codeload.github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/legacy.tar.gz/v0.7.1 << there
