asciilifeform: oh sure they did
mircea_popescu: punkman ty!
mircea_popescu: i wasn't watching at the time, but did ayone in the early 90s/late 80s say hey, lenin's nep previewed what'll happen here ?
punkman: mircea_popescu: average time from winning bet placement to resolution is 42 days
asciilifeform: result was a miniature preview of the 'roaring '90s'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and even so soviet tax collection was better than the tsar's.
mircea_popescu: so it's really a blind alley : those on whom it'd work are probably the same set that think "bitcoin is bad" or w/e
asciilifeform: burn a registered company and walk away and start a new one << interesting historical degenerate case: russia during lenin's 'NEP' - 20s - folks would close a firm immediately prior to tax day, open new one the day after with same assets
mircea_popescu: if you do, you can. if you're random joe blow you can not, but then again this stuff is not for you anyway,
fluffypony: "I can show business registration papers so therefore"
fluffypony: because that's the other thing that seems to be big, especially on the forums
fluffypony: I agree with that - it was more to show that personal liability is always an option on the fiat side (reckless trading etc.), so this idea that you can burn a registered company and walk away and start a new one is also flawed
mircea_popescu: why, specifically because the fiat method does not work.
mircea_popescu: why did "bill" and everyone else involved seem to think that once the 10mn is wired, that's it, the fraudster won ?
mircea_popescu: consider the earlier case described by altucher.
mircea_popescu: if it were going to work, fiat-based intl merchants wouldn't have such a fucking headache.
mircea_popescu: what i mean is specifically this : that the construction of recourse and remedy on the infrastructure of fiat is not going to work.
mircea_popescu: yeah, that's totally a good reason :D
fluffypony: and then almost as an afterthought "ohey, fundraising is in Bitcoin and so are dividend payments"
fluffypony: valuing things entirely in fiat
fluffypony: everyone seems to be doing it lately
mircea_popescu: anyway, imo the fiat approach is naive.

mircea_popescu: and total value lost ?
punkman: *more than 10k
punkman: Fun fact: out of 10310 bitbets, only 313 have lost money betting on the winning side, and only 100 of those had a weight of 10k ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: with 30k usd profit, it is not too adventurous a guess that polimedia does not house mpex ?
fluffypony: still a better post than Jimmothy's comment on GPG
mircea_popescu: https://bitcointa.lk/threads/dattank-mining-any-chip-any-hardware-any-currency.330080/page-4#post-7067314 << is this guy actually using the dot to represent scalars (ie, as opposed to vectors) or wtf notation is that

nubbins`: mp, i think that's not the first time you've called me that
fluffypony: nubbins`: you'd be on TV?
nubbins`: if i could suck my own cock i wouldn't be wasting my time on irc
chetty: we are on to hair cuts? what happened to the fingernail polish, ladies?
asciilifeform: i know plenty of people who cut their own hair.
punkman: and they use too much of it too
punkman: my biggest problem is the shitty shampoo everyone has
punkman: Naphex, I cut them myself last couple of times, with a little help from the girl, since the barber is not around
Naphex: you don't have to pay attention and maybe you get a sweet skull massage :)
Naphex: yes but why not just pay someone to do it
punkman: it's one of those things you can't do very well on your own
nubbins`: why would anyone do anything for themselves?
Naphex: nubbins`: why would somebody cut their own hair?
nubbins`: sometimes it turns out terrible :D
mircea_popescu: punkman i hate it when that happens
