damientrog: that was slow as fuck
Framedragger: i like certain metaprogramming aspects of ruby. ruby succeeds in being a more true 'wanna be lispian' kid as opposed to python

Chaang-Noi: some people said something about emails as well

deadweasel: Please be advised that due to the adjustments described above, we need your confirmation prior to release of your order into the final build queue and on to final delivery. It may also be a good time to review your purchase altogether relative to the bitcoin market as this is the last opportunity to do so. If your order is not confirmed, it will be canceled and your money will be refunded.
deadweasel: i have full time job, plus full time lady friend, plus full time martial arts training and instructing... i can barely keep up with bitcoin as is

thestringpuller: As a man wiser than myself once said, "We all started as a novice once".
thestringpuller: the last 2 mos were a perfect storm, I don't think it was nearly as bad as Augush 2012
deadweasel: but as I slowly discovered, your points were correct if ill-delivered.
mircea_popescu: only 400,000mBTC. As I speak the truth in kindness, and you don't, the valuation of your business will decline and mine will increase. You understand all this, so I await for a change in strategy or the continued decline of your importance."
mircea_popescu: I cannot understand why you continue to bully your inferiors and not speak kindly (as I do), towards all who want to understand. You only posted me a proof this week that you actually have a PR lady, until that I had thought you are a schizophrenic. Your PR is not doing a good job, if I were you I would think again how to present yourself to the world. I do not believe your business is worth 700,000,000mBTC and mine is
mircea_popescu: "coolness is a trait that one can develop. One of the ways to develop it, is to spend time with cool people, such as me."

taub: as well as seeing the chatter of others, just confusing
Diablo-D3: crazy as fuck? yes
ThickAsThieves: lots of guts, as in he's a fatty
mircea_popescu: Top headline on DPRK radio news today: "International society admires Kim Jong Un as a man of iron will with a lot of guts."
zebedee_: Every bettor on the winning side will receive as follows : 99% of his original bet sum (1% goes to BitBet.us) plus 99% of his bet times the total bet by the losing side multiplied by his bet's total weight and divided by the winning side total weight.
zebedee_: mircea_popescu: From the bitbet FAQ: How are winnings calculated? Every bet has two sides. Every bettor on the winning side will receive as follows : 99% of his original bet sum (1% goes to BitBet.us) plus 99% of his bet times the total bet by the losing side multiplied by the winning side total weight and divided by his bet's total weight.
mircea_popescu: it's old as in it existed for more than a year.
jurov: "I did feel I wasn't taken as seriously as those who were wearing business dress, until the receptionist saw my booking... "
mircea_popescu: pigeons is probably whetting his pastebins as we speak

jurov: rigacrypto: here ppl prefer mpoe options as "entry points"
mircea_popescu: jcpham 13, as established by uppittytortilla
tiberiusiv: bitcoin cant be a scam as it does not need endles new bidders
benkay: what about s.dice? is that a scam as well?
Framedragger: to actual studies operationalizing such terms as (lol) 'fraud capital' :)
tiberiusiv: as he owns 90%+ of the float
thestringpuller: ;;later tell tiberiusiv I have 75 btc now liquid. Soon I will have a few hundred as things grow.
ThickAsThieves: okay, suppose the actor actually represents a great majority of the highest 5000btc of the bid book on Gox. Couldn't he sell those puts, dump 5000btc into mostly his own bids, driving price lower so he can now buy more btc at the new lower price? As long as he doesnt sell so low that he triggers the bot to excercise, he would be leveraging the btc to get more btc
ThickAsThieves: my idea is that the moves dont have so much to do with price movement, as accumulating more total btc
mircea_popescu: as the veterans can tell you.
mircea_popescu: also they reject e=mc2 as a sexed equation,
mircea_popescu: Sexism is both discrimination based on gender and the attitudes, stereotypes, and the cultural elements that promote this discrimination. Given the historical and continued imbalance of power, where men as a class are privileged over women as a class (see male privilege), an important, but often overlooked, part of the term is that sexism is prejudice plus power. Thus feminists reject the notion that women can be sexis
thestringpuller: as it depends on an active user base
thestringpuller: ThickAsThieves: people go inactive, someone not logging in for X time is considered the same as losing a user to the social media world.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: there is no difference is there? The group came up, with Max Keiser as their defacto leader, "We can pull ourselves up by our belts", whereas that is a physical impossibility, yet people believed it anyways because other people "said it was so". No?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu isn't that a different issue altogether, as you state in your fact, "You can't pull yourself up by your own bootstraps"
kakobrekla: its gonna be as bad as mtgox
mircea_popescu: well inasmuch as it is used it's fakeright
thestringpuller: You depend on MPOE-PR for you PR. You have a board of directors you refer to for advice as quoted here: "Unfortunately the hordes of get-rich-quick noobs allied with the howling incompetence of so called .exchanges. have prevailed" it is implied this "we" is a collective.
kakobrekla: Then stop demanding hard and fast timeframes for things that we can't give hard and fast timeframes for. Simple as that. I say multiple times "We aren't sure when <fill in the blank>" and a chorus of people respond back "BUT GIVE US AN ESTIMATE!!!!" Repeat that about
ThickAsThieves: so not AS bad
ThickAsThieves: 1. a paid announcement, as of goods for sale, in newspapers or magazines, on radio or television, etc.
mircea_popescu: as in, whoever put the bets in trying to match whatever bfl was claiming at the time
mircea_popescu: i don't think they'd count as failed for overdelivering
mircea_popescu: it is, inasmuch as it doesn't say otherwise.
ThickAsThieves: as it does not specify which specs advertised would be used
rikur: http://bitbet.us/bet/337/bfl-will-deliver-asic-devices-before-may-1st/ should be resolved as first miners have already been delivered and they are within +-10% of advertised specs (5.5 GH/s (+- 10% running variance))
kakobrekla: http://casascius.wordpress.com/2013/04/24/i-made-a-video-as-a-reply-to-ron-paul/

Diablo-D3: if anything, BFL might as well just declare bankruptcy right now
Diablo-D3: if we're going to troll, might as well push it up to 11

Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: I wrote DiabloMiner, con ported it to C as cgminer, then Luke-Jr forked it because con didnt want to merge his shitty patches

DiabloD3: seeing as I am an independent analyst for the bitcoin community
mircea_popescu: Even after seven years of nonstop media hype, only 16 percent of Internet users tweet, the same as the percentage of 14-49-year-olds who have genital herpes. The difference being that the latter are not proud of their affliction, while the former never shut up about theirs.
thestringpuller: Edge cases such as the month April 2013.
