mircea_popescu: the cat is driven by an attempt to reduce the cognitive load. things that move impredictably draw its attention and require it to spend brainpower. better if they stop moving.
asciilifeform slept through b00lcrap's intro
ThickAsThieves: so you hate monopoly money too?

mircea_popescu: course they do. how do you think all the drunk conceptions happen.
ThickAsThieves: i can see if you dont value them

TheInterocitor: It did, and I thank you tremendously
mircea_popescu: from what i hear from people trying such things, it rarely works in the sense of comprehension, but almost always works in the sense of making the op stfu.
TheInterocitor: I think so

ThickAsThieves: basically you can fault havelock's quality, and there is where you can remove trust

TheInterocitor: not like I have a substantial amount there
ThickAsThieves: the relist things the opertaors owners delist
TheInterocitor: I was unaware of this
mircea_popescu: but it never happened to something he owned.
nubbins`: they let funds delist whenever they please, converting "shares" into "we'll send you a slip of paper"
nubbins`: let's see: their website was an insecure piece of shit with massive security holes that literally allowed third parties to drain accounts -- UNTIL LAST SUMMER
nubbins`: TheInterocitor: sure they have.
mircea_popescu: i was thinking. "not scammed me yet"
nubbins`: TheInterocitor you trust havelock?
