assbot: Seriously though, is that not a Yes vote on top of the No pile??? /hashtag/indyref?src=hash http://t.co/07kx46cqhW
SubCreative: danielpbarron: You can try to think of it any way you want, we've been around for ~6 months already with no premine and no serious pump/dumps
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal can take half an hour...
TheNewDeal: lets say I'm a dispensary purchasing 2kg of medical grade cannabis from a supplier. Is bitcoin too slow?
danielpbarron: SubCreative, a Bitcoin transaction is practically instantaneous -- you'll have to come up with a better pitch than that for your scamcoin if you want to attract any suckers
gribble: Error: This nick is not registered. Please register.
tokyopotato: ;;eauth tokyopotato
decimation: in theory one could operate a bitcoin<-> usd atm in a pot shop

TheNewDeal: on a scale of 1 to 10, how is cannacoin's usability?
kakobrekla: will you make the password unforgettable?
jamesonwa: It's not industry specific to our needs.
TheNewDeal: EXACTLY what I was just typing

kakobrekla: actually i dont think its paid since if you want to get anything done with kraken you must post a some sort of 'complaint' to ze forum.
kakobrekla: TheNewDeal read the trilema article
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you know the stuff's usually paid posting
TheNewDeal: looks like all the bitstamp bots have gone to sleep
kakobrekla: only the package matters!
kakobrekla goes to find the silly hat
kakobrekla: and the response re bug: Dargo, thanks for your fast reply. That speak loud. Many other exchanges are run by monkeys with funny hats! I'll sure look up for unleashing the kraken Smiley
TheNewDeal: is this just a raw translation of bitbet, or is it some scamsite?
kakobrekla: i dont use them ,just reding up.
mircea_popescu: who's this ?
kakobrekla: security measures so complex they cant understand them them selfs?
kakobrekla: >We have a lot of security measures designed to prevent theft of Bitcoins, and recently we've had a bug with the security measures that sometimes causes withdrawals to get stuck. It's been hard to diagnose, because often it's just a handful of withdrawals that get stuck, which doesn't give us a lot of diagnostic data. We actually did an update today that we think might resolve the issue, but we won't know for sure until time passes and
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla that shit promises to get nasty.
tokyopotato: i really need to figure out this WoT thing

kakobrekla: .su mentioned on the forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=130455.msg6181903#msg6181903
mike_c: big lol. ty for pointing that out.
TheNewDeal: oh my, the hidden text is quality on that one
mike_c: i don't know how resistant yandex is to black hat seo.
mircea_popescu: yeah, lol. that'll happen.
mike_c: depends where they get traffic from. if they are pushing seo hard maybe they will be ranking higher than you.
mircea_popescu: there's kinda 0 incentive to report them from a game pov.
mircea_popescu: actually them being obscure is their main advantage, which is a large part of why i wrote about it
mike_c: of course. you can report them to google (and maybe even yandex?)
mike_c: my thoughts go down the path of: 1) start pinging their site, see when it updates. 2) correlate with my server logs and see where they are scraping from
mike_c: unless you just want to put them on the ignore list.
mircea_popescu: or the feint thereof.
mike_c: depends on what they said. more communication = more opportunities for slipup/information.
mircea_popescu: mike_c here's the problem : would you credit anything they said ?
mike_c: i was thinking more like 'i c you are valuable affiliate partner, who are you?'
kakobrekla: wait, isn that the passive mode?!
kakobrekla: yeah, i have been degraded to secretary and now i take it up the ass too.
mircea_popescu: email is kako's dept, and i think he prefers the passive role.
mike_c: also, did you try emailing them yet?
mircea_popescu: you have no idea how fast bums can go through widnfalls.
mike_c: must be crappy machine translation. ascii?
kakobrekla: my guess is thermos is not a bum with the forum coins.
mircea_popescu: and b) who the fuck translates "do"
mircea_popescu: kinda how they met.
mircea_popescu: mike_c nah, they're both brits, and both bums
mike_c: any of those guys russian? theymos, nefario, etc.?
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> what i don't get is the partial russian translation here and there < my guess is it wants to justify its legitimacy by providing translation service.
mike_c: oh, derp. ic on trilema
mircea_popescu: what i don't get is the partial russian translation here and there
mike_c: they get bored quickly. how did you find it? usually they don't get much traffic
kakobrekla: btw the content on .su is like 10 days old
assbot: SHRTURL - The web editor
mike_c: heh, me doing the scam site? plz. btcalpha is more up to date than that thing.
mircea_popescu: like the global warming consensus.
mircea_popescu: except no bitbet scam reports exist, but for libertard heaven there's no need to actually have anything at all. you can just make a sum of all the things you don't have.
mircea_popescu: lol at that glowfrost redditard. "oh, all the bitbet scam reports".
ThickAsThieves: is probly the "can you understand an engine guy"
kakobrekla: cats leave paw traces.
mircea_popescu: yeah is one of you asshats trolling me ?
ThickAsThieves: probly just mike_c tho
ThickAsThieves: i wouldnt hire my plumber to do my taxes?
mircea_popescu: so if he's that dumb how did he manage to make the clone work.
ThickAsThieves: well you now are adding that he is a smart scammer
mircea_popescu: so then wouldn't you have used some new addresses ?
ThickAsThieves: and then full scam
ThickAsThieves: seems like a great setup, he can copycat while getting referrals and then one day cash that in by selectively scamming
kakobrekla: its a good idea really. he gets all the money, bitbet does all the work. i wish i came up with it!
mircea_popescu: i mean... for any conceivable goal there's a better approach
mircea_popescu: why do this then ?!
ThickAsThieves: because he is one of them
mircea_popescu: why is he using the glbse/theymos addy ?
ThickAsThieves: why does something have to be going on other than a guy that wants to get as many referrals as possible (insecure methods aside)
mircea_popescu: cue six weeks campaign about how "bitbet is a scam" and the burial of the actual scams, from high to low.
mircea_popescu: once the divergence between bitbet and the rest was painfully obvious, bfl put 500+ btc on bitbet, then failed to deliver. bitbet didn't cancel their bet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bfl scammer, had a deal with betsofbitco.in and other similar junklets to make a fake bfl will deliver bet, then call it "unresolvable" and cancel if they don't.
assbot: Here’s a mystery the Internet may wish to help elucidating. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
asciilifeform: wtf is that
