rulother-gs: Expected as much
Hollywood: mircea_popescu , have you checked out Star Citizen for the same idea as EVE?
kleeck: “We can’t stay silent forever. We have an important message, and the time is ripe for the world to hear it. What we’re doing isn’t about scoring drugs or ‘sticking it to the man.’ It’s about standing up for our rights as human beings and refusing to submit when we’ve done no wrong.” - DPR
mircea_popescu: deadweasel as always more to that story.
mircea_popescu: this is true. you could sign 10k STATs, encrypt them with MPEx's keuy and publish them on an as-needed basis
dexX7: i'm shocked about those actm guys (no offense, if you are one of them) ... someone posts legit news combined with some demotivational phrases and now this is considered as "ripping people off, because he fueled panic" >_<#
jcpham: ThickAsThieves can server as CTO
ThickAsThieves: i prefer the dumb trolls, as I take people too seriously, and thus end up getting trolled by the good ones

dexX7: http://www.ajpes.si/prs/podjetje_zgodovina.asp?s=1&e=504891&n=1&pdf=no << a bit odd, chrome translate shows d.o.o. as Ltd.
jurov: mircea_popescu: but really, we need to consider more things and use other parts of brain than just amygdala to determine social standing today as compared to past, no?

Rulother__: I was like shit soon as I saw him post
nubbins`: keepers decide to move you they will move you, and that decision has absolutely nothing to do with you. Sure, they'll represent it otherwise, especially if they may extract amusement out of you by doing so, much like a cat will play with a captured mouse. Go ahead, argue with me, explain how wrong I am and how great it all is. Make our day, mine and theirs equally, as that's the one bridge that uni
ozbot: SEC Charges Bitcoin Savings and Trust (BTCST) as Ponzi Scheme
Rulother__: na I see him as the next walter white
Urushiol: maybe that's the takeaway here. maybe the US is displeased with the notion that their currency may be usurped as the medium for this type of activity because it lessens its global utility and value, by extension
Scrat: "As advised earlier developer do not communicate with users directly and they do not have email access and probably they are not even good at language so that is why we are there here to communicate issues to them."
Namworld: Well the details did list assets as 15 BTC and 2354 BTC loaned to amazingrando. Since nothing was happening with Amazingrando, figured that should be returned. I should have done that long ago. Just paid extra by not paying to my own shares.
iceburg: not a master no, but I have friends in the field, and I asked them to look into it as part of my due diligence
dub: they could vanish without a trace tomorrow as well
bobbabad: I think its a crazy bet to think that all new asic companies will fail as well
ThickAsThieves: i found interviews from him as a girl
mircea_popescu: dub your idle suggestion is my command. well... hers, as the case may be.
kleeck: iCEBREAKER posing as a Romanian. LOL.
dub: 500 preteen investors need an extra dose of ritalin this morning as the bullshit markets lead by "I'm a really real company not just a forum post LLC, Heavy Industries BBQ" rally and then crash again, on news of a half assed google spreedsheet with some made up numbers on it
pankkake: mircea_popescu: are you saying btcgarden would so as far as not give anything back?
Diablo-D3: [11:37:25] <Hollywood> yes, I am aware. Looking at what you stated I thought you were speaking as if we were consuming the sun
Hollywood: yeah, .016 - same as the IPO
Hollywood: same as the IPO
Hollywood: yes, I am aware. Looking at what you stated I thought you were speaking as if we were consuming the sun
pankkake: as long as it does not have to stop when there is too much wind. or break every other day
ThickAsThieves: I havent been around as long as you, but so far what ive learned is that you sorta ran DMC, and are in the process of sorta closing it. what i don't get is what you do now, and how you plan to pull off something new and larger.
ThickAsThieves: the scale of your idea, as I recall it, seemed bigger than your britches, no?

mircea_popescu: they arguably don't have a chance, as the people they're supposedly educating don't have a clue.
kleeck: Says the guy who attempts to pass the equivalent of tabloid articles off as "news". You have wasted quite enough of my time, mircea_popescu.
mircea_popescu: the expectation for formal proof is misguided, as vandroyi explains for your benefit.
mircea_popescu: kleeck just as soon as publish on trilema there will be.
mircea_popescu: the scammer has no need of the "ipo" as it diodn't produce anything
KRS1: as am I.
thestringpuller: ;;later tell mircea_popescu The Warren Buffet snippet the girl posted seems to be repeating itself nearly identical with mining. In order to profit on hash power (which price decreases as difficulty goes up), is to buy more hashpower at a cheaper price (more capital expenditure). I think that is very frightening and deserves more attention.
lewicki: As much as we would like to believe that foundries are accepting BTC, that is certainly not the case. It takes a while to offload 30k BTC without killing the price
dub: the btcgarden guys outed themselves as a scam btw
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller let's see. he claiming that the taxes are too low as proven by what he pays in tax. except he doesn't pay himself a salary.
thestringpuller: ^^ I thought you didn't like using buffet as an example

mircea_popescu: about as much effect as if she had read it to goats.

dexX7: "August 10th is today (yesterday should now be regarded as a). But our ME20 and ME80 does not debug well, indeed, there are still problems, ..."

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you might as well speak of Soviet laws and courts re: how that country was actually run.
mircea_popescu: his statement is "x could be used as y therefore x is y"./
DeaDTerra: We work on FAQ basis so we will keep posting as we formulate answers to the questions asked
jurov: i'll erect ask wall at 0.00999 and use that as practically interest-free loan
mircea_popescu: You have been so rude as to summon my wife to the telephone and use bad language. Although she had told you that she was prepared to forget this, the fact nevertheless became known through her to Zinoviev and Kamenev. I have no intention of forgetting so easily what has been done against me, and it goes without saying that what has been done against my wife I consider having been done against me as well. I ask you, t
Kleeck_: Sure, you can conspiracy theory a lot of scary scenarios, but as we understand TOR it is a very well thought out network. It's the methods of connectivity that are vulnerable, and a few other points of injection/observation, that don't involve the TOR network at all.
mircea_popescu: same situation as ripple actually.
mircea_popescu: tor is about as useful for security as ripple is for cryptocurrency
dexX7: that's as stupid as saying "bitcoin is dead", because mtgox dwolla is seized
optimator: Kleeck_: everything is as strong as it's weakest link - not everyone realizes that

mircea_popescu: as it was already the case once or twice last year, once before that and a couple of times this year already.
dexX7: so this might be used as reference for upcoming cases, but a magistrate judge's word doesn't have the same weight (obviously) as a surpreme court ruling
mircea_popescu: dexX7 it will certainly be presented as such by teh us government.
mircea_popescu: ate civil cases in the same manner as a district judge, including presiding over jury or non-jury trials."
mircea_popescu: "In civil proceedings, magistrate judges typically manage discovery and other pretrial matters. They are authorized to issue orders in pretrial matters as long as the order is not dispositive of the case as a whole (such as an order granting summary judgment). They may also be assigned to write reports and recommendations to the district judge as to dispositive matters. With the consent of the parties, they may adjudic
mircea_popescu: VanCleef_ oppinions of random magistrate judge in texas' poorest district be about as relevant as pirates'
freeroute: *if everything goes as planned
asciilifeform: people who have never so much as swung a fist
mircea_popescu: three day old putting balanced against very runny cheese. it'll sit forever as neither is piercing the other./
asciilifeform: see the now-famous 'TOR incident' as an obvious example. what does one need to have in place of a brain to rely on a winblows box for 'anonymous' naughties?
Exocyst: I think Labcon will peak at 0.00325 in Late November, then decay like a PMB as they fail to get a gen 2 chip in production

mircea_popescu: save this somewhere come back to read it as you grow up.
Lyspooner: as far as i can tell, wsj took the story from bitcoinexaminer who took the story from a 2 year old mistaken article about avalon
afrotec: wierd as that sounds...lol
Hollywood: mircea_popescu> as if being a bum is different based on the type of currency you don't have. <lol, yeah the guy on the side of the road is begging for BTC so it is ok
