assbot: kinoshitajona comments on [Serious] I couldn't answer
this question when discussing Bitcoin with my Dad: Isn't it sometimes beneficial
to allow governments
to stabilise
their currency if
there is uncontrollable inflation/deflation due
to unavoidable events? Wouldn't a global currency cause poorer countries
to be left behind?
fluffypony: Gaven Andresen answered a question on Reddit, it's nice
to know Redditards have switched from religious metaphors
to pop culture:
mike_c: it's more
that rss is for updates. so you have entry for pending,
then later an entry for approved/rejected?
kakobrekla: if i would be
the author if it, id kill myself.
mike_c: that would be more json
than rss

the latter
moiety: i do but
there's a lot of
time left
mike_c: working now,

that

to 3)
mircea_popescu: fluffypony
they finally figured out
that 60% return rate isn't really such a good number ?
assbot: How Bitcoin Empowers
the First Global Peer-to-Peer Lender BTCJam
mike_c: spoken like a man who has been creamed in
the past betting against difficulty
ThickAsThieves: you know it's just gonna explode during
the diff before
the bet
mircea_popescu: i mean any half-literate scammer in sierra-leone can get a good flamewar raging for 500 pages in
two weeks,
the self appointed cream of
teh internets slash intellectual core of progressivism can't even get
to 12 ?!
mircea_popescu: by now it's sunk into
the depths of pathetic :
trying
to get a
thread going, which gets 6 pages out of which 2/3 is
their kindling
mircea_popescu: then it was "o
the press in its quest for bullshit is betraying
the holy canon of socialism"
mircea_popescu: but yeah, originally it was all "o, how
the bitcoiners don't understand basic socialism as canon accepted by everyone"
mircea_popescu: well because
they're pretty irrelevant by now, so you wouldn't normally know.
mircea_popescu: I bought several at $1.000, many others at $550, but at
the end, I am a looser in
term of financial results.
fluffypony: "the price didn't move in
the direction I expected in 6 months! suicide
time!"
mircea_popescu: "I got swept up in
the mania last November and dared
to invest my life saving into purchasing 1 bitcoin, just as it was near peak.
That
turned out
to be a
terrible purchase for me"
mircea_popescu: assbot: Dear conference organizers: my wife says I have enough
t-shirts and you should start giving out
trousers.
Thank you for understanding. << lol someone ain't wearing undies ?
mircea_popescu: certainly better
than
trying
to hijack bitcoin's for
the purpose of communication.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what
to make of
this personally. i kinda like phinn and all, but so far
this claim of his is not going
too far.
fluffypony: he mods
the French sub-forum, it's not exactly a position of power
pankkake: but davout being a mod
there, I don't
trust him either!
pankkake: my experience of
the forum is
that
there is no shortage of high profile delusional scammers,
that of course don't
think
themselves as such
mircea_popescu: I don't understand why phinnaeus would pay 400BTC for 50K$, but I can write
the agreement with him and make
the deal : Davout will send
to
trusted escrow 50K$ (in dollard or BTC) Phinnaeus will send
to escrow 400 BTC when escrow have both, he will send me 400 BTC and send Phinnaeus is 50K$. I will
then send 300 BTC
to Davout. We will all waive
the right
to
terminate
this agreement and
to all actions regarding
the insta

davout: gotta get off, i'll be back later
tonight if someone wants
to discuss
this further
chetty: so basically he is claiming a deposit with no actual evidence he made it? Wonder if
that would work with my bank?
fluffypony: once
the body of evidence is presented his lawyer would (one hopes) be able
to explain
things
to him
mircea_popescu: there doesn't seem
to be much room for any sort of mediation
davout: in other words, it would simply be best if
the guy sued
mircea_popescu: t so far manage
to do so and a optionally a link
to here
to detail
that.
mircea_popescu: davout so make a single post in
that
thread, containing paymium's service address, a statement
that you've
tried
to
the best of your ability
to identify his claims but didn'
davout: also, our server hard drives were given
to law enforcement when we filed our complaint back in april 2013
fluffypony: the constant stream of new
threads doesn't play into his favour
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yeah I'm
talking purely about
the way he's
treating
this particular issue, not in general
mircea_popescu: fluffypony generally i kinda like phinn, he's very diligent, quite passionate and an off
the path sort of
thinker
fluffypony: maybe he's hoping
that by
throwing enough of a
tantrum davout will just
throw money at him
davout: also, for
the sake of keeping a public record,
the script i used
to explore
the blockchain in order
to
try and find his deposit address, none of
the
two i was looking for appeared
mircea_popescu: so basically what he';s
trying
to do here is send davout
to
the forum collections agency ?
davout: the guy is confused, my only hope is
that he lawyers up, so
that someone can finally
talk some sense into him
mircea_popescu: wait so
the bounty is out of lol wtf how does
this work
mircea_popescu: have put into
this fiasco, not
to mention
the stress."
mircea_popescu: "Ideally, I prefer
to have
the entire 1,132 BTC, sans
the 400 BTC bounty amount, paid in full
to me, but knowing
that sometimes arbitration
takes place, I'm willing
to settle for a minimal amount, with anybody acting as liaison
to broker
their reward up
to 100% of what I may finally recognize.
The minimum I'm welling
to settle for is $50K USD via BTC or fiat
to compensate for my initial investment and
the mega hours I
mircea_popescu: no but i mean he makes
these sentences
that break my parser all
the
time
mircea_popescu: "Reserved
to announced
that I have reunited with my lost investment."
davout: i explained
to him how a shared wallet works, later he refers
to it as mumble-jumble
davout: i stopped answering him because i saw he could not grasp some very simple
things
davout: i never said
there was one, i said
there had been an audit
davout: he's imagining
there is a liquidator
mircea_popescu: that's exactly contrary
to normal procedure, what's
that all about ?
mircea_popescu: but anyway davout so why is he claiming you won't release
the liquidator;'s name ?
davout: mircea_popescu fluffypony he can go ask jgarzik,
the guy paid me 5678 BTC back in
the day, also i got into bitcoin at such a
time
that i mined some blocks on a goddamn CPU
assbot: Bitcoin
Transaction 84c505049bb782b490cc3fb7633238082afb2a2ec21bf1ea0596d6cbc2a61c1e
mircea_popescu: fluffypony but if you look at
the incoming
to
that addy,
there's no matching chunk
fluffypony: yeah it's almost like he
thinks it impossible
that davout could independently have 1k BTC and it *must* come from him
mircea_popescu: i don't see much substance
to his claim it'd be coming out of 1DavouTAsveznCFHsz688xvbrRAq4u2qm8 going
to 16d1yGrEDqSY1xhCnAUWrkahGY2mkWdAYk
davout: he even provides
the exchange rate at
the
time,
this way i'm sure it's not 2011 or whatever
davout: because
the guy is pretty specific, 1000 BTC and 132 BTC, sent in december 2012
to an instawallet address
davout: fluffypony: not
the received
total in a
timeframe actually,
the received
total, and
then i checked manually
the actual deposits against
these addresses
