ozbot: BTC.sx Receives Largest Seedcoin Fund Investment: Virtual Incubator Finances
the First Bitcoin-Only
Apocalyptic: typical otc scammer won't go
that far anyway
mircea_popescu: eventually people's histories with you are more valuable
to
them
than any one
trade so even
the scammers won't scam you.
benkay: yeah well
then do your dilligence on
trust ratings.
mike_c: honey for
the scammors. i'll
try it again sometime.
bounce: then ignore all
the scammers
benkay: it goes like
this mike_c
bounce: need more peeps put
their orders in
there
mircea_popescu: maybe he lives five miles from any moneypak
thing and it's run by zombies
benkay: people are insufficiently wary about
touching both
the fiat rail and
the crypto rail at
the same
time.
benkay: why does it depend on where you live? even in
the states one can buy moneypak with cash.
benkay: know how much you want
to buy, have it in a moneypak.
benkay: otc is not really a pain in
the ass.
mike_c: i guess it's just
that
the other water sources are filled with sewage, so
the ringworm doesn't look so bad.
mike_c: ok. yes, i see
that point.
mircea_popescu: which are water for
the locals, on
the basis of
the practicality
that w/o water your le is a day.
mike_c: there is a practicality here. i can actually buy bitcoin with coinbase (with no $$ balance).
there are extremely limited other ways for me
to do
that.
mike_c: steal my 401k, what
the fuck do i care? it's worthless anyway.
mike_c: my bitcoinz are not
though.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think
the average us person realises exactly how fucked
they are. and
the "well everyone else is just as fucked"
thinkin doesn't really work.
mircea_popescu: i could withdraw your 401k early and guess what ? even if you do gert it back,
the
tax is still due.
mike_c: how is
this different from any other online service?
mike_c: yes, so my buys are recorded. what am i going
to do? use localbitcoin and buy all my coin on
the street corner?
mike_c: i like coinbase. i don't have
to hold any $$ with
them in order
to buy btc.
mircea_popescu: Coinbase IS EXACTLY a random website made in a basement. So is AirBnB. So is everying else YC backed. Get over yourselves, lay down
the pipe, you're a laughingstock for a reason.
mircea_popescu: "The last "isn't some random website made in a basement" case was NeoBee.
There were bunch of others before
that, exactly similar.
benkay: "The steal-all-your-money rate of bitcoin businesses is running right around 100%, and you're going
to lecture people
that "they can only ever lose a small portion of all stored user funds"? Really?"
benkay: let's give
the shitshow some credit, shall we?
mircea_popescu: "Coinbase isn't some random website made in a basement. It's a well funded, YC backed, known-founder company
that complies with relevant banking law.
There's absolutely nothing
to suggest
that
they hold a partial reserve or have any ill intention whatsoever."
ThickAsThieves: k i added
the link as-is for now with suggestion for rewrite
mike_c: can he say broken windows a few more
times? he doesn't sound dumb enough yet.
bounce: pr00f of h4x, I say. just like mpoe-pr clearly got h4xx0red.
the mod was right!
ThickAsThieves: ok i've added short descriptions
to all
the wiki links so far, surely
they'll need editing and maybe some references
ozbot: Please remove
this user from
this forum.
VanCleef: this doesn't seem like something
TAT would post
VanCleef: sorry if
this is old news or asking
too many questions
bounce: ze mod said so, must be
true
then
kakobrekla: but for now keep it on one level if you can
ThickAsThieves
kakobrekla: it will show in
the menu automatically
kakobrekla: if you want
to create a new page on
top of
the dir, just visit
the url you wanna create
kakobrekla: if
there is something specific you want
to do i can
tell you what you need
to do
kakobrekla: ThickAsThieves also
there is a playground page
to play around with
VanCleef: and as i said earlier will probably close down sometime
this year
VanCleef: i
think
this will affect havelock more so
mircea_popescu: im kinda surprised nobody's come out with
the "herp is really mp" line.
VanCleef: what do you
think about it all mp?
mircea_popescu: btctalk post had some good ideas/sturcture but not really a full and complete "why wot"
thing
ThickAsThieves: a buncha a links is only arguably better
than 'go read
the log'
ThickAsThieves: that's my
thought,
trying
to make sure some context is injected into
the wiki
bounce: and what's
that old fashioned
thing with dashes?
these days you are supposed
to sprinkle apostrophes across your prose just in case you missed a spot, but no dashes
ThickAsThieves: anyone know a good article explaining WHY
the WoT is good, something
to convince a noob
mircea_popescu: rancorous
thunderclapping and also nubbins snowpocalypsae
bounce: no no no it was clearly rapturous applause before a
thunderous crowd
mike_c: or demo-ed
to
the sound of
thunderous applause
ThickAsThieves: "Bear in mind
that we’re almost a full year away and
things may well change. A definitive schedule will be published late March 2014."
mike_c: first: bug in
the snsa report :D "demo-ed before a rapturous applause"
ozbot: MPEx owner in danger of being extradited
to US
to face charges
moiety: This is where he
tells you
to flash your webcam... or was
that just me?
ThickAsThieves: but i can see how it's possible
to facilitate such and some benefits it could bring
ThickAsThieves: i still
think having
the shares "listed" isnt a good path
