cads: truff1es: If I ignore someone in a chat, they can still see what I'm saying. So it's not the same thing as leaving the chat. Ignore can be used to assert a sort of dominance.
cads: truff1es: also, it occurs to me that leaving a chat room is not the same as ignoring everyone in that chat room. Information is not symmetric, in the latter case.
cads: hehe, truff1es I hear what you're saying, but surely even you draw limits at a certain point: consider, one may choose not hang out on 4chan. This is the same as ignoring every single member of 4chan. If you believe you have the capacity to filter out all information by directly reading it, then why aren't you plugged into every chat in the world, filtering?
truff1es: irl i dont purposely go into the same space as an asshole, but on the internet most ppl are so its a moot point
mircea_popescu: anyway, as far as salaries go about 7k a year pre tax would be an average salary.
cads: Say I receive $100K a year, and I suspect that this is $20K more than the rest of my coworkers in the same position as me, because I'm more skilled. Would it be something I'd brag about?
mircea_popescu: i thought the mpoe-pr discussion is over, as in, sigh.
cads: From my personal experience, for example, when Romanians show off in front of Americans, at best they tend to be perceived as lovable assholes. The fact that many romanians tend to show off only they can back it with something tangible helps in establishing relationships between americans and romanians, but there is often a secret distaste.
Chaang-Noi: as in not good for the image of the company she represents and is speaking for
mircea_popescu: actually i don't know anyone nearly as good as her on those forums.
Chaang-Noi: inaba is about as good with pr as your girl...
truff1es: A piece of equipment, such as a PC or peripheral, attached to a network.
Chaang-Noi: as crazy as it sounds, the repillia guy might be right and we hit, $300,000 a btc by new years
Chaang-Noi: i avoid the whole economic subsection as 985 of the people who post there are idots
Chaang-Noi: i kinda doubt it as well, but man, it would explain a few things:)
mod6: but all good things in time... as they say.
mod6: I added another one as "Testing" or whatever. hehe. my bad.
mjr___: i think version 1 will be rough, but then we can add geolocation, so if someone isn't there, their orders will be grayed out (as they couldn't be acted upon anywy)
mjr___: so as people join us in the park, they know our local best bid and ask
mjr___: as well as update those prices in basically real time
tiberiusiv: as bugpowder said it would sell off hard
mircea_popescu: you know, i never pitied women as much in my life as since getting involved in bitcoin
Chaang-Noi: AM was august, but its a whole differnt type of company as well
Chaang-Noi: and is trading what 1000% more as well?
Chaang-Noi: if he keeps mining as many coins as he is mining and selling usbs at this rate :)
mircea_popescu: almost as rich as me.
mircea_popescu: as i said before, somebody with a business clue involved in asicminer.
mircea_popescu: actually it's funny, but it seems to me stock is oversold in about the same proportion as the retail product is overpriced.
ThickAsThieves: seems even more risky as a retailer though
Chaang-Noi: same as the usb
ThickAsThieves: - If I do not redeem your bitcoins before 31. December 2013, you get my 1 bitcoin as I lose the bet
Chaang-Noi: as a AM stock holder im very pleased with 1000%
Chaang-Noi: id be just as sucessful if you sent me a rock...
mircea_popescu: "As matter of fact, I applaud his efforts as an experienced, professional bitcoin broker/dealer to create infrastructure"
parseval: Imagine taking a loan out against your asicminer stocks to speculate with, but keeping your dividends that are accrued as long as you pay back on time. With, say 150% collateral, it'd be fairly easy to find someone to lend you the coin for a small percentage
Namworld: It's just as well for LTC holders to convert to BTC if they want certain assets.
asciilifeform: the best way to injure an enemy with a plastic gun is to give it to him as a gift.
Chaang-Noi: she is not as bothered about it as you might think
Chaang-Noi: opr as they say "butterfly"
KRS-1: as in http://timedatestamp.tumblr.com/post/18195881869/gotta-plant-two-lips-somewhere
mircea_popescu: [17:56:26] shareholder1 mpex will be classified as money launderers and terrorists
Namworld: Yeah, but in this case, it works as profit share. Each share of 1 billion in IPO contract has rights to 1/1'000'000'000 of profits.
Namworld: Eh, well it's slightly different and elegant. But it's pretty much the same as all the other clones, yeah.
mircea_popescu: just as long as it's public, an offering and initial it qualifies.
Tritonio: So, as a noob in asset markets I come back with a few questions. 1. Isn't the purpose of an IPO to see how much the market is willing to pay? You list for example 1000 shares and then you wait 2 weeks or so for offers. When the IPO is over you start fullfilling orders starting with the highest price per share and going towards the lowest. Did I say something wrong till now?
KRS-1: we go down...we come back up but not as much...we go down more...come back up but not as much...
Bugpowder: I had green poop as a kid once
Chaang-Noi: send me an address and ill send you a tip as a test payment
truff1es: but were they as casually dressed as u?
Chaang-Noi: so i did not give a fuck as long as they did it quickly and correctly
kakobrekla: id like to avoid being involved at all but as last resort
truff1es: Mentally deranged, esp. as manifested in a wild or aggressive way: "Stella went crazy and assaulted a visitor".v
ezdiy: jurov: well, as long things are not transparent
ezdiy: actually anything morally dubious is legit as long its transparent
ezdiy: but as long you werent the last fool holding the bag ...
sturles: My guess is that CoinLab wasn't ready, but don't see themselves as beeing in breach of contract. Transferred customers wouldn't be able to transfer funds or trade.
davout: i have no idea, like mircea_popescu said it is not france, but the fincen guidance referred to people exchanging btc for fiat, not for people who sit in the middle and acts as escrow
mircea_popescu: you will have momentary gaps now and again as the old ones expire / new ones go in.
jurov: just using you as a lab rat for a moment
ukru: as he sold his coiuns at $162 !
Scrat: existing forum software is (mostly) secure as a result of years of people being trying to break them
maximian: Vesennes should resign as chairman. I nominate MPOE-PR as his replacement.
Chaang-Noi: easy as fuck to do
dub: ideally this whole deal gets ugly as fuck and we end up with no foundation and no mtgox
tiberiusiv: vessennes can probably be classified as having a mild case of downs syndrome
ThickAsThieves: lol, i wonder how long before CNN cancels iReport as a service
tiberiusiv: why are we at the same level as 12hrs ago
Framedragger: oh fuck it's may, i've to pay taxes in a week as well :(
inhies: im inh on otc, as soon as i dig that keypair off my old hdd :3
ThickAsThieves: it leaves money on the table to be as timid as it is
dub: Mark currently serves as CEO of Mt.Gox, one of the oldest Bitcoin businesses in operation today. He is the mastermind who created the current trade engine and the multi-currency platform for Mt.Gox.
taub: well I imagine they don't make much money now, so if they think about forgoing fees as a marketing expenditure
taub: or as long as it takes to become top 5 exchange
taub: nothing as of yet it seems
mircea_popescu: "Lastly, I have found it best to ignore the arrogant MP and his supposed PR person as they think they are so much better than rest of us. I have rarely seen him have anything positive to say about anything positive on this forum. If it's something that is already disparaging then he/she/they/it can usually jump on the band wagon in a positive way."
mircea_popescu: send all the forum trolls as "delegates" ?
jurov: exactly same as cash ATM?
ThickAsThieves: and some people here hold him in high esteem as aperson
jurov: how that destroy part would be implemented, was left as "exercise to reader"
mircea_popescu: anyway, who said : "The goys have proven the following theorem..." as the first sentence in his math lecture ?
jurov: We are featured on multiple renown services, such as Slush's Pool and clarkmoody.
Framedragger: um tbh one shouldn't link to cnn's ireport as a credible news source
mircea_popescu: all he needs to do is come out as gay. kinda hoping he will for great drama.
mod6: As far as the android app, I've been working on the encryption stuff, which has been going ok -- did a bunch of code clean out etc.
guruvan: the BTC makes it so easy to want to do it that way - but. ...I know I certainly offer refunds to people in the currency they paid me (in the same amount as was paid)
Framedragger: it's probably writtinen in rails all over the place, it could prob be 100 times as efficient :(
imsaguy: nobody would ever suspect 0 as a RNG seed.
imsaguy: its just as good
davout: because "oh, but some of openssl's bugs are now relied upon as features"
ThickAsThieves: they wanted to add bitcoin mining as a feature?
mjr_1: so CNN iReport seems to be as accurate as CNN
Doffx: Depends on what operating system as well
mircea_popescu: either it's exactly as now, or it goes up, or it goes down
MJR_: either the situation is exactly as is now...or it goes up
kakobrekla: and pass -rescan as arg
ThickAsThieves: like as in authorities swooping into HQ?
damientrog: yes I have that suspicion as well, in the best research unit of uni 50% was gay
damientrog: as in, we still speak
Framedragger: lol thetan as in scientology?
Framedragger: "My research is centered around the development of a formalism for ontological commitments." - wait, ontological commitments as in analytic philosophy, or something something formal logic?
