bounce: and don't forget
to supply lots of government-issued documents with pictures of you, for your own safety, of course. while I'm holding your coins. and running.
mircea_popescu: course
this is illegal, except if you're a "revolutionary" ycombinator sort of scam.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform decimation not even, simple penny stock scam. you make "company", ask for 1.1 mn, i drop down 1mn,
then withdraw it. you got
the "social proof" and some money in
the bank/
kakobrekla: Yna get in
the wot and ill
take care of your coins for 1% a year.
Yna: As I said I need
to lock it somewhere
decimation: daddy mc warbucks puts $1 mil
to 'prove' junior is a real businessman, etc
decimation: sounds more like another form of merit-washing
to me
mircea_popescu: i can just go in
there, plonk down 1mn for some project,
then 25 days later cancel it ?
mircea_popescu: so
then why
the fuck do you ppl quote
the numbers for.
assbot: Anonabox scam - Why I don't
trust
them! :
technology
Yna: I am a gambling addict
that seeks somewhere
to investment lock my remaining btc so I can have guaranteed growth (however small).
Azelphur: sure, I have no desire
to purchase it I have a very nice OpenWRT router
that I can do all
the
things with
Azelphur: I
thought everyone was hating on it because it used
the
TP-Link board, xD
Azelphur: carry on with
the hating
then :P
Azelphur: heck, if I wanted
to build something like
the anonabox,
that's exactly
the way I would build it, find some cheap mass produced decent existing hardware, build decent software
to run on it, and ship it out preconfigured
mircea_popescu: Azelphur apparently
the existing hardware is
the only part
that works as advertised
mircea_popescu: Fact is
they ran away with $25k from me, if it was reinvested or not doesn't matter really as
they promised
to make it from
trading..."
mircea_popescu: "Ok i can't say how much i invested in
total, i had shares worth $25k but i reinvested from daily earnings, wasn't so much i signed up in September...
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I don't get why people are hating on
the anonabox, why does it matter if
they were using existing hardware?
mircea_popescu: They also have glowing reviews from all over
the world posted on
their site after only a month of operation. It feels like
trying
too hard.
That said, I did
take a chance and invest some coins. I contacted
them about my concerns (after I invested a few coins) and
they were responsive and discussed
things with me.
Their backend is pretty sophisticated and you can withdraw your earnings at any
time without fees. If it
mircea_popescu: "Hi, I have been using
the site since mid December. You do have
to be careful where you put your coins.
The site has some . . . well, issues. A .biz suffix for one, but also
they work out of
the UK (trading stops on UK holidays) but are incorporated in Panama with no locational address or phyiscal contact method.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller from
that link : "I found
this site few days ago and bought mining shares, and have been getting 1.42% return every day. I'm using
the returns
to buy a smaller amount of
trading shares.
https://bitcoin-trader.biz/opportunities.php Full disclosure: I am not related
to
this site in any way, shape or form."

Tor router box is false representation, possibly even scam! : privacy

mircea_popescu: nubbins` well at least he wasn't you know, part of
the cult of b-a or anything.
nubbins`: wait, six months is a long
time
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> "It is a known fact
that I personally opposed any proof of solvency, but agreed
to conduct it for
the sake of a few dozen small and medium investors." <<< "see what you guise made me do? seeya in six months with a new name!"
mircea_popescu: "Dear Sir, I have 100% of your money, please send me a quarter of
this amount and
then I will send
the rest back
to you, because logic."
mircea_popescu: a few dozen small and medium investors ? readding
tarddit is funy at
timmes
bounce: wrong function. anyway. obviously a learned
type.
mircea_popescu: "It is a known fact
that I personally opposed any proof of solvency, but agreed
to conduct it for
the sake of a few dozen small and medium investors."
mircea_popescu: "While preparing for
the final audit results, a
task we were working on for weeks now, our bitcoin wallet has been hacked and emptied, just after exchanging our fiat holdings within
the exchanges
to bitcoin and
transferring our entire holdings
to our wallet, in order
to proof our solvency."
mircea_popescu: <jurov> aye it's one big fair << hence
the preoccupation with "fairness"!!!11
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> probe reaction? see if sympathetic idiots appear? <<< will be valuable in future,
those.
bounce: oh,
there it is. it's not
teh jooz, nor
the big bankers, it's
the carnies
that're secretly running
the usg!
jurov: usg debt policy,
too
jurov: "i'll return
the booty if 25% more is raised"
kakobrekla: i
thought you need
to wait for recharge
bounce: gather more funds
to pay off
the "robber"?
bounce: why even bother with
the sob story? just vamoose already.
kakobrekla: The hacker contacted me shortly after he
took advantage of our holdings and demanded a ransom in order
to
transfer
the coins back. I have agreed
to a 25% ransom of
the entire sum, but haven’t heard back from him for several days now.
ThickAsThieves: <+nubbins`> ah yes, every child here is
taught
the story of приспособленец /// lol
nubbins`: mats_cd03
they sell em at princess auto
nubbins`: i said "snofshanofshanof"
to myself as i pasted it ;/
nubbins`: ah yes, every child here is
taught
the story of приспособленец
mircea_popescu: it seems reasonable
that any degree given
to any "protected minority" by any university with a quota programme should be discounted.
mircea_popescu: (incredible, incidentally,
that people who supposedly invest resources into getting a degree aren't even bothering
to mention
the distinction between actual degrees and quota degrees)
mircea_popescu: listend here in
the sense of "people who volunteer both ways", nothing else. not meaning
to imply speer had a quota degree or
that obama can use
the noggin
mircea_popescu: no one actual cock could serve for
this role, because it is
to provide abject and complete humiliation.
mircea_popescu: so
this
time,
they're chosing war and will have dishonor.
mircea_popescu: this
time
they figure
the enemy is small and it may be overrun. it won't work, and
they'll have
to do a 180 and suck
the cock.
mircea_popescu: that
time
they figured
the enemy is big and it may be placated. it didn't work, originally, so
they had
to do a 180 and fight
the war.
mircea_popescu: amusingly,
the situation is exactly
the reverse of churchill's "You were given
the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war."
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> i
think new regs on btc should amount
to giving pre-existing institutions an avenue for entering
the bitcoin fray << not helpful.
the only helpful
thing
they can do is say "every financial institution of
the fiat persuasion has six months
to get mp's okay or lose its fiat license"
mircea_popescu: <Apocalyptic> more generally,
the article as far as I understands it sheds a negative light on "regulation", as reminded by
the Romanian footnote, it mainly results in you being fucked << it just makes
the point
that regulation is
the stricture of death. which it is
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> one man;s bad reg is another's good <<< not a matter of man here.
that's why nature. why would anyone's opinion count in
this discussion ?
