pankkake: what's odd is how old
the message is,
too
ozbot: TROLLING 101 | SockPuppet
Theatre
pankkake: yet stalking people is ok, as another mod
told me
mircea_popescu: i put stuff from
the forum in here, read it destupidified in log
moiety: i cant even go back
to see
that now mircea_popescu lol
mircea_popescu: these words of sorted randomly r
they perhaps into sense coallesce
through of sortage log method ?
nubbins`: kakobrekla i much prefer it
this way, don't fix it
mike_c: obfuscation
to prevent spying
antephialtic: yeah, is
this some kind of silly april fools joke?
the log makes it look like
this is #bitcoin-yoda
mircea_popescu: "mircea_popescu: but were ballads about made miserably
they
then having cool how failing"
mircea_popescu: "mircea_popescu: made cool ballads failing but miserably how
then about having
they were"
nubbins`: the order of
the words is all fucked up
kakobrekla: imagine you went
to a gallery when you watch it :)
Mats_cd03: inside man, stasiland, attack
the block
mircea_popescu: anyway. "cyprus central bankers" win
this battle god help us.
bounce: oh,
that guy appears
to've been dead for a good 150 years. oh well.
Mats_cd03: i guess you could say afghanistan and somalia were vaguely functioning feudal systems in
the last few decade
bounce: what,
there's still a vaguely functioning feudal system going on?
Mats_cd03: except
the scrub
that barely made it is in fact
the hero of old
Jason: mircea_popescu: hey - get me in
touch with someone @ square and we'd figure it out! :)
bounce: well I s'pose
that gave you a bit of a headstart "researching"
the bitcoin zoo
mircea_popescu: i mean... guys like iancu jianu. ex road robber, caught,
tried, sentenced
to hang, saved by ancient rule
that noble virginz may save a convicted felon by marrying him
Mats_cd03: a surprising number of national origin stories are basically
that
mircea_popescu: then failing miserably but having ballads made about how cool
they were
mircea_popescu: bounce i have no idea.
the entire national pantheon is basically neobee like scammors. ie, various rebels promising independence from x or y or z
mike_c: i am not defending his retarded veiwpoint
though. "it's ok because neo&bee ran ads".
mircea_popescu: having failed is actually much better
than having succeeded.
mike_c: but
they have now heard of bitcoin, and next
time it will be
the second
time.
mircea_popescu: in
that we'll see if in 2015 or 2020 cypruss is above or below
the norm
mike_c: i don't
think
they got
that far in penetrating
the consumer consciousness.
mircea_popescu: i guess we'll actually be deriving some benefit from
the ineptly handled neobee shareholder piggybank,
mircea_popescu: mike_c yeah but what if
the awareness
they raised is "bitcoin is an undependable scamfest"
mike_c: obviously neo&bee was not supposed
to simply be an ad campaign for bitcoin.
Jason: Mats_cd03: i came
to -assets
to share my story of being randomly banned with no explanation and being completely denied support. had my business of been in full swing with square, it would be a rather large problem.
mircea_popescu: i wonder
to what degree
things actually work
that way.
mircea_popescu: interesting argument
tho, re "the awareness
that won't go away".
Namworld: I probably spew nonsense regularly
too anyway. I just let it be unless I feel like debating
the
topic.
Namworld: I stopped questioning why people say certain
things long ago.
mircea_popescu: "Even if Neo ends up failing and Cyprus central bankers win
this battle,
they've managed
to change
the world forever.
The Bitcoin awareness in Cyprus will not go away even if Neo fails and
that counts for something. I know I was part of
that as an investor and helped build
that
to some extent. On
the other hand MPEx will go down in history as
the clown who badmouthed
the competition and riding some donkey in Egypt."
Namworld: Forum server if it had an AI: "Please, help, oh why!? Stop feeding me
this
type of data!"
mircea_popescu: person 1 : "I personally don't believe
that Neo&Bee is a scam, but very well said. Just becuase
there is an easier way
to steal money
that
the scammers passed up doesn't mean it's not a scam."
Mats_cd03: so you came
to bitcoin-assets for square support
Jason: mircea_popescu: i do, but i can't
take it online yet
bounce: "stuff you buy at
the drugstore"
kakobrekla: wasnt
this discussed like a day or
two ago
bounce: they'd have
their own contract with vupen and whoever else sells
these
bounce: peddling
tin foil hats? -- now
that might be an interesting niche.
tin foil hats for bitcoin.
Mats_cd03: 0days
they cant ask
the nsa for, perhaps
Mats_cd03: buying
things from
the paranoid, i imagine
bounce: why would
they?
they're running entire banks dedicated
to laundring and everything else
they instituted AML/KYC CYA BS elsewhere for.
Mats_cd03: maybe
the cia uses -otc from
time
to
time
bounce: there's
too many agencies anyway. whatwasitagain, 1200-odd agencies with some sort of "terrism" link?
Jason: ThickAsThieves: guess i'll have
to stick
to bitcoin
ThickAsThieves: cant have
terrorist like Jason using Square
to launder money, now can we?
Jason: Mats_cd03: probably
true
benkay: what, you're going
to rep
the DHS now
ThickAsThieves ?
bounce: you'd like as not
turn out overqualified
Mats_cd03: hey now, we have enough us agencies watching
this channel already
ThickAsThieves: if we
tell you, you will know how not
to get caught next
time
Jason: ThickAsThieves: oh. not
trying
to do /that/. it was
transfers between my own bank accounts! ;)
Jason: ThickAsThieves:
that's what i'm
trying
to do.
they won't
tell me what i did for 'security reasons' :-p.
Jason: ThickAsThieves: did /nothing/ even questionable.
tbh, i mainly used it for quick
transfers between my bank accounts :P
Jason: won't even let me email
them. :p
Jason: blackwhite: Payment card processing permanently deactivated. Click
to read Square's Seller Agreement
Jason: blackwhite: can't initiate
the email
Jason: i did and never got a response. i'll
try again. maybe
they changed stuff around
Jason: blackwhite: of course I know i'm just picking on you, but hey - maybe you'd be able
to give me some pointers.
Jason: blackwhite: i did
try
twitter and my
tweet (twat? whatever
they call it) went ignored,
too
Jason: blackwhite: as I remember it, in 2013
they didn't have phone support?
Jason: er -
that's a little concerning
blackwhite: Not sure why you can’t get
through. Did you
try
twitter and phone?
Jason: just, being banned with no explanation of what might have caused
the ban and being unable
to contact support? well... yeah.
Jason: i'd love
to use Square. being an internet sales business, it'd benefit me greatly.
ThickAsThieves: btw
this Square news, it's only for
their online marketplace right?
Jason: blackwhite: well, my account was banned in 2013 for being 'high risk'. when I contacted support,
they simply didn't respond
to me. luckily, all of
this happened before I switched my entire business
to Square (my account was several months old,
though). had I of completely switched
to Square before I was banned with no explanation, it would have probably ruined my business.
