mircea_popescu: ok, i got an idea earlier
today, which i'd go halves with you into.
twizt: i guess i need
to
trade with some people
assbot: Voicing
twizt for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: we need
to come up with an equivalent convo breaker for "check your privilege"
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> but he was
too scummy for me << elitism!
danielpbarron: ya, I agree, but he doesn't
throw chips in while doing it
danielpbarron: one of
the players at my weekly poker games likes
to show his hand before showdown sometimes,
to
try
to get other players
to react and reveal info
nubbins`: tried face-up cribbage
the other day
ThickAsThieves: the
tshirt guy was
trying
to sell me his stake while waiting at an airport for his flight
ThickAsThieves: they got ukyo wrapped up in it, and
the bitcoin pride
tshirt guy
danielpbarron: why is
the anon dude on satoshipoker's home page showing his hand while
throwing chips in? if it's
time for showdown,
the chips should already be in
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell benkay " where
there is no recourse for crime" is perhaps a generalisation in
the wrong direction. crime will probably be redefined
to mean "of
the body", ie, assault. stuff of
the mind goes
the way you contemplate.
BingoBoingo: I've heard such
things. We are supposed
to dip below freezing around St Louis
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in fairness : if you
tried
to get anything "As a barbarian" 2k years ago, also.
TestingUnoDosTre: was just
talking
to a self proclaimed business man at
the bar
today,
telling me I had
to be creative while filing my
taxes
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's msot of
the us, but in different ways. Sometimes condos, sometime subdivisions (probably a part of what makes
the rentalstarter
thing possible-ish)
mircea_popescu: which
theoretically you can't do for living space (must be commercial)
mircea_popescu: i was
talking of
timisoara, right now, and asciilifeform of some northeast us i guess
mircea_popescu: then it came up for sale about
twice a year, i never bothered
to make offers again, but i have little doubt it'll continue indefinitely.
mircea_popescu: i lol because, well, in
typical style of
the earlier quoted clueless "businessman" in his own head,
they came up for sale once, in late 2009.
they wanted x. i made an offer, roughly 0.15 x
mircea_popescu: a phone call and
twenny minutes later, i introduce
them
to
the cabdriver who
turns on
the lights each night
mircea_popescu: she's like, wtf am i
talking about,
there's like, lights at night and everything.
mircea_popescu: i'm like don't be fucktarded already, nobody EVER bought
there, what's wroing with you
BingoBoingo: Full subdivisions, never occupied, each home still for sale, no more
than a couple homes from each listed at any given
time,
the houses
take
turns in
the MLS listings
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i had
the opportunity
to laugh my ass off at a schmuck last week. son of a friend with
this pushy, clueless fiancee. she wants
them
to buy (mostly on his mother's dough) an apt in
this building
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Well
there's a bunch of recent construction american ghost
towns as well
TestingUnoDosTre: this chinese ghost
town myth isn't just american commie propaganda?
BingoBoingo: Kind of like
the gambling forum on Bitcointalk, full of sites and projects no one wants
mircea_popescu: these are apartments
the chinese built and nobody wants.
mircea_popescu: perhaps one could go lower
than
that, but for
the
time being i can't imagine how.
mircea_popescu: so basically cryptostocks is
the stock exchange of
the future which was judged
too low quality by a guy who was running an asset predicated on
taking in
two beans, giving back one bean a week later and claiming
this is 25% roi.
mircea_popescu: "Satoshi Poker has been delisted and shares have been bought back at 0.001 due
to non response of cryptostocks customer service which was harming our IPO"
kakobrekla: 24 Oct 22:44 Satoshi Poker announces a buyback
to IPO under better conditions. More info will follow later
today
kakobrekla: 24 Oct 22:44 Satoshi Poker announces a buyback
to IPO under better conditions. More info will follow later
today
kakobrekla: 24 Oct 23:14 Satoshi Poker changed its share structure and share prices. Please see
the asset description for more information
kakobrekla: 02 Nov 10:34 Satoshi Poker will delist its asset on CryptoStocks as its
team is unreachable. Shares will be bought back at 0.001 share price, giving its shareholders 25% ROI
kakobrekla: he already made buyback soem
time ago or smth.
mircea_popescu: the "investors"
that were fed a 4k btc minimum for a 20k btc valuation are going
to be dealt with out of...
mircea_popescu: Starting bid of
the auction is 30 BTC. Payment of buy is completely in bitcoin, of which 22.9 BTC has
to be done
to
the hot wallet so buyer can see
that in fact
the balances are covered and remainder has
to be sent
to me
to settle with SP's current investors.
mike_c: ah. i don't know
the backstory
mircea_popescu: mike_c guy could have gone a lot further if he actually used his chances rather
than
thinking he's smarter
that everyone.
that's
the
tragedy part of
this drama here.
mike_c: seems like a reasonable attempt at an orderly shutdown
though. not bad for a failing btc business.
mircea_popescu: I have
to look for a project
that gives me a paycheck and allows me more
time
to spend with my girlfriend who had a miscarriage while i was sitting in
the waiting room in
the hospital working on SP...
mircea_popescu: vision and a budget steps in and
takes over. At
this moment
there is a deficit in player funds, and I would be able
to cover
them by
taking out another bank loan but at
this point I would rather sell it and cover all balances from
the buying price, as it is pointless
to run an internet business with no marketing or development budgets and basically working full
time
to maintain
the just under $1000 in monthly
turnover.
mircea_popescu: After working on
the project for
the past year, sacrificing my other businesses, investing a lot of
time and money and running into personal debts
to get it
to where it is
today, I don't have
the
time or personal stability
to move
the business forward
to its full potential. Since november I have been working with no marketing budget and no development budget and for
the future of SP it is better if somebody with a new
mircea_popescu: Satoshi Poker has $118.50/mo net operational costs for
the rent of a dedicated server and VPS webhosting package (website and gameserver/bitcoin systems are hosted seperately for security reasons)
mircea_popescu: so i guess
the guy's insolvent and
that's his way of breaking
the news ?
mircea_popescu: "Total owed
to players: 19 BTC in player balances in
the system, 3.9 BTC in pending withdrawals (I will cover
these funds out of
the buying price so after buying, company will have 0 liabilities
towards its players, software companies or whatsoever)"
nubbins`: ^
this one almost caused pascale
to pass out from laughter
mircea_popescu: Retweets 11,598 Favorites 8,793 << dude us folk are weird.
the actual pic never got 11k retweets wtf.
nubbins`: apparently
the original picture was a
tweet directed at american airlines
mircea_popescu: pankkake prosecuting poor satoshipoker guy. WHY R U SUCH A
TROAL!
nubbins`: not sure if
this was discussed earlier:
mircea_popescu: you need someone actually competent for a field
to exist.
BingoBoingo: I
think
the Seals breach pretty much killed BTC poker.
mircea_popescu: if anyone's patient enough, compare
the auction result
to
the ipo proceeds
BingoBoingo: Chicken wings,
then wyngz, wyngs don't sell... revert
to chicken
