thestringpuller: Blockchain.info advertised a scam bitcoin investment site called Hashprinme.com as one of its partners, allowing it
to steal over $100,000 USD simply by using Blockchain's reputation
to mislead its victims as a legitimate investment company...SHAME ON YOU, BLOCKCHAIN!

the Union of Soviet Writers. He is asked what literature he is familiar with. "Have you read Pushkin?" "No." "Have you read Dostoevsky?" "No." "Can you read at all?"
The Chukcha, offended, replies, "Chukcha not reader, Chukcha writer!"'
kanzure: they had pre-reading where
they studied
the material given
to
them
that described bitcoin
kakobrekla: oh my bad, if
the didnt call it a conference all bets are off
assbot: Logged on 09-10-2014 21:35:31; kakobrekla: im not sure why are we watching some idiots learning about bitcoin on vid and doing whole conference bs and all.
they should study at home, before hand, not ask stupid questions on
tv.
kakobrekla: "lets go
to class
to learn about
this
thing we know nothing about."
kanzure: "how is
the blockchain secured?" "well it's open source"
TheNewDeal: those were
their smartest questions possible
kanzure: unfortunately it was
the panelists
that were learning about bitcoin
kakobrekla: im not sure why are we watching some idiots learning about bitcoin on vid and doing whole conference bs and all.

☟︎ TheNewDeal: surprised
they didn't make a pitch
to increase
the blocksize limit
BingoBoingo: Maybe message confusion is what
they want?
kanzure: and
then you have message confusion....
kanzure: because it's hard enough
to get a single person
that understands bitcoin
kanzure: multiple panelists format is probably
too broken anyway
kanzure: went very poorly.
those panelists were clueless.
BingoBoingo: Live streaming widget was
tiny, usually had powerpoint slides instead of people. Feared fullscreening
the widget lest
the

This livestream actually had a decent if lagging caption stream. Figure
this is a race.

Trading Commision Bitcoin Session : Bitcoin
TheNewDeal: jurov
there's no reason one should ever want
to understand a non-deliverable bitcoin future
kakobrekla: so
they can avoid calling
themselfs a bucket shop
thickasthieves: if
the
traders are
their own counterparties,i guess it works as bets pretty much
thickasthieves: well
their website solicits 'liquidity providers' for
the btc ndf
kakobrekla: "but
this
thing
that we call Bitcoin, it is
the underlying asset (that isnt really
there)."
thickasthieves: kako "but
this
thing
that we call Bitcoin, it is
the underlying asset."
TomServo: okay,
this is pretty good ahahaha
kakobrekla: wtf is
this bitcoin 101 for kindergarten
kakobrekla: >>>:
To questions.
The first is how do you know
there is no fraud or backdoors built in
to
the initial code? And
then
the second is if all
the goodie is coming from
the block chain, why not just put dollars on
the block chain?
TomServo: I wish we could've seen
the face she made when Vito exclaimed "I KNOW!".
kakobrekla: The exchanges
that do not provide us
this cannot be on
this. We are not ascribing
to anonymous
trades
that are happening out in
the market place.
kakobrekla: Every one of
those exchanges in
that agreement has agreed
to supply as
the details and
they all do AML, KYC on all of
the people
trading on each of
the exchanges.
kakobrekla: Tom Leahy mentioned earlier
that
TeraExchange has an information agreement with every exchange
to establish index.
thestringpuller: ;;later
tell nubbins` hey instead of refund can I just get another poster :(
the USPS can't find it
TomServo: kakobrekla: yeah, wtf is
that?
kakobrekla: > it can be physically delivered just for
the same reason
the commission recognizes physical delivery in a sense of other intangible commodities such as pollution rights
kakobrekla: just like everyone loves
that bitcoin poster.
cazalla: yes, everyone loves how
the design looks
cazalla: not much, 7am here so morning cuppa
tea is in order
cazalla: thickasthieves,
they have a good life up until
that point :P
cazalla: BingoBoingo: Yeah cazalla's bunny ranch has
to be popping <<< yes it is atm, for every vegan in #b-a, a rabbit is slain with vengeance
thickasthieves: like in bitfinex it's a swap market, users provide swap offers
themselves
thickasthieves: right, but
they still need bitcoins
to have value on
the other end
kakobrekla: It is nondeliverable. No Bitcoins exchange.
This is a US cash settled forward.
kakobrekla: It is a bilateral, non-cleared
trade
that has credit support Annex, collateral delivery by either side
to support
the
trade.
thickasthieves: it means, according
to provided guidelines,
the exchange created a swap instrument for people
to
trade, hedge, and collateralize with, settled in dollars only, it's like a way
to borrow bitcoin
cazalla: mircea_popescu: mebbe qntra publishes a summary,
then i can "watch" it
too <<< i can't sit and watch
that guy for 2 hours
jurov: i barely understand
that..but all
the adjectives
jurov is ashamed
to not understand
teh "self certified Bitcoin Non-Deliverable Forwards swaps contract"
kakobrekla: TeraExchange self certified
their Bitcoin Non-Deliverable Forwards swaps contract and it is currently listed for
trading.
☟︎ TomServo: (Please continue
to stand by.
This meeting will begin momentarily).
