ozbot: FairProof.com -
the simplest provably fair bitcoin multi-lottery (instant)
cazalla: sat
there, fuck i need a coffee
cazalla: yeah wickedfire which is interesting because I read an article where you said it would attrack
the internet marketing crowd and I say
there
thinking oh
top kek
that's me
cazalla: he was
THE guy back in
the EQ days

akstunt600: hahhahha fluffypony I would like
to annouce new chief operating derp
jurov: i suspect hollywood wants
to
tap
the drama
bounce: ah. need
to have an impressive name and such. so
that's why
this "child actor" got roped in.
bounce: "higher
than a bargaining businessman would-be buyer would bid",
then.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: do
they use a jury for financial stuff as well??? geeze...:/
mircea_popescu: no, conservative as in "where did you go
to school ?" and other anathema mp-esque questions
the child actors of
this world abhor.
cazalla: not surprising
to see someone like Brock Pierce involved given his history with RMT, he's
the 2nd person I've come across in bitcoin
that I knew of before Bitcoin, first being voorhees from wickedfire heh
bounce: oh
to start a company and requiring all
titles
to have "derp" in
them somewhere.
akstunt600: I dug
that up
to a while a go and was liek WTF
mircea_popescu: bounce you need
to either pay upfront more
than
the judge evaluates
the assets could conceivably fetch, or else execute a credible plan
to deliver. and since
this is examined by jurists rather
than business people (and let alone forum fucktards)
the estimates
tend
to be quite conservative.
samson_: I can't get over
the fact
that 'Chicago-based SilkRoad Equity' are involved in
this...
dignork: mircea_popescu, yes, not
too deeply
though. But I'd buy it only as "dignork", pgp key 8334BB7B5BDFA126
bounce: not me, explain away. why do
they need an "investor group"
to pony up one full bitcoin, given
that
they're not paying
the debts outright but planning
to pay'em back by running
the
thing anew?
jurov: .. and investor with hollywood
ties
fluffypony: from now on I'm going
to
tell people I"m a former child actor-turned
technology entrepreneur
jurov: i
think
that's all i need
to know
jurov: The investor group, which includes Brock Pierce, a former child actor-turned
technology entrepreneur,
mircea_popescu: jurov
that's ok,
that's
the last anyone'll ever heard of
that.
jurov: need
to find non paywalled article
ozbot: Investor Group Seeks Court OK
to Buy, Revive Bankrupt Bitcoin Exchange Mt. Gox - WSJ.com
dignork: mircea_popescu if i read
the history correctly,
their report was published once, and long
time ago
akstunt600: mircea_popescu,
that makes perfect sense
to me
akstunt600: hahahha i dont even want
to see
that attempted
jurov: i want
to see a bank
that'll dare
to manage New Gox's acct
mircea_popescu: they never actually had a lump of money
they didn't owe someone.
mircea_popescu: and so
this brings us
to
the spring of 2013, ever increasing pressures and eventually
their collapse.
jurov: akstunt600:
they will inevitably
try it as "Gox"
mircea_popescu: this is something you can maybe carry on for a while, but if you're
trying
to it's a damned good idea not
to annoy me as a side dish.
mircea_popescu: all
through
this
they were
trying
to daytrade, and doing it as well as bitcoinica
akstunt600: at least
they didnt
try
to sell goxshares
mircea_popescu: then just as 2013 brought increased prices and revenues,
they lost 5mn dollars
to
the us fed, because karpeles is retarded and doesn't understand when
to say no.
mircea_popescu: then
they ran at a loss for all of 2012, piling more and more angel round money into a hole.
mircea_popescu: and
then 3. got raped by jeb mccaleb (the "auditor")
taking btc
to 1 cent.
mircea_popescu: he proceeded
to buy some failed polish exchange, which was over its history a loss,
akstunt600: what did you expect
they were a magic
the gathering
trading site
mircea_popescu: it went nowhere so 2. karpeles
took it over, with aid from some angel investors.
dignork: mircea_popescu, but nobody knows really, have
they ever published any reports?
mircea_popescu: 1. it was created by jeb mccaleb,
the douche
that recently fucked up kraken, and some other derps, on a shoestring.
benkay: davout mircea_popescu x.eur has delivery performed by delivery of cash
to a bitcoin-central account, right?
jurov: fluffypony no problem, lay here on
the couch and let's latalk
fluffypony: akstunt600: yes, he doesn't keep
the coffee hot!
jurov: fluffypony look no further
than
thermos
fluffypony: to have such an Ivory
Tower complex
that you don't is...well...
benkay: ;;later
tell princessnell it's actually gpg keys which are
tied
to mpex accounts
fluffypony: what boggles my mind is
that
they (mtgox) were liquid enough
to pay someone
to rewrite everything in a less-crap way, and
to permanently employ a bunch of CISSPs (at
the very least)
akstunt600: like especially if
they did like zerocoin styl on 2nd chain
fluffypony: akstunt600: I'm sure he meant 10 years experience in netsec and not btc,
though
los_pantalones: ever seen
that study about how really dumb people don't realize
they are dumb
akstunt600: he is
too much of a pussy for all
that
fluffypony: rithm: I
think I'm going
to
try random sha256 hash collision instead
rithm: it's my passphrase
to my wallet
too
dignork: rithm, i just checked
that i have
this password in list of human generated passwords (i did)
rithm: ya'll didn't even
try
to login
to nickserv gah
rithm: drinking beer and shit watching
the internet burn
rithm: i'm
taking my
time
rithm: none of
the affected are exposed
dignork: rithm, pastebin your privkey, it got
truncated :(
bounce next develops a calculus of (whatever
the
term is for
the state of being ignored)
bounce proposes an ignore-o-meter
that'll show who gets ignored by how many others in nice convenient bargraphs
fluffypony: maybe he'll show us
the sekrit dokumints
fluffypony: I look forward
to robwhiz22 joining us
tomorrow
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu,
that is a good policy.
benkay: oh i got
that loud and clear
mircea_popescu: well no, what i mean is "that's complicated" in
the sense of i'm not about
to spill it.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, I'll
try
to reach you
tomorrow. What is
the best
time
to
talk in here?
benkay: how does a stat get signed
then?
