Chaang-Noi: but as a stock holder im happy
KRS-1: those anonymizer sites are probably even more monitored than as if you don't even use em, but if you just don't want to be known by the server you are contacting then np
KRS-1: Who are they to say the Internet SHOULDN'T be anonymous. Its far too personal as it is.
truff1es: i might as well get it for future use
Diablo-D3: kakobrekla: Im not on IRC nearly as much as people think I am
Diablo-D3: mjr___: and the CUs set up the arguments as shared registers for the entire work group
Diablo-D3: mjr___: no. and my kernel already implements it as efficient as possible.
Diablo-D3: joecool: I said 14nm is as small as we get because of it
Diablo-D3: they split their fab division off as GloFo
mjr___: that is correct however, as of right now, i don't think BFL consumes any power!
dub: it was concieved purely to make terrible dj's look better and so fat people won't look as out of place ont he dancefloow
KRS-1: lol probably..as the years go on, I notice the food has gotten much worse. Many consider us the "bread basket" of the world too..eh.
mircea_popescu: literally as in he ran the city dump
mircea_popescu: "We had the study of the hotel room dedicated to our dealing desk, which included precision scales, and storage containers for all kinds of valuables. EUR 50 (and below) notes will be weighted as well as the gold and silver, 100-500 notes are counted."
asciilifeform: truffles: I don't believe the man exists as described
kakobrekla: I have currently increased the size of my organisation, and reserved some prime resources (such as the most expensive by far hotel suite in Finland) for my exclusive use. My burn rate is currently about $200,000 per month if I continue at this level. It may sound like much, but measured hourly, it is a more understandable $278 (about 2,000mBTC). Since most of the resources are contracted at a daily rate (such as the hotel) or even hourly (
mircea_popescu: this after me asking her if she knows about picture taking which i think she misunderstood as being asked whether she;'d like to pose for us
ThickAsThieves: I wanted to do an options fund, but current pricing makes it seem like it'd most likely be a loser as well
mircea_popescu: as in, buy some options on the same package as the bond. maybe everyone buying shares gets to vote which way to go, calls or puts
ThickAsThieves: sometimes my words mean more than what the dictionarys defines them as
ThickAsThieves: but really, it started as benkay asking what give mpoe-pr/mpex/mp the right to question others experience, and turned into, i dunno
mircea_popescu: that's as to why you will likely never know who's on my short list of people i talk to / scream at / with on macroeconomic topics, finance etc.
benkay: got it. so everyone's doing this as a side job?
mircea_popescu: in other words : none of this is a secret, it's known by people who care to know as it were.
thestringpuller: As if Victoria Secret doesn't have that market seized already...
troc: v.interesting, would the coins you spend that way be liable for any taxation as a benefit in kind ?
mircea_popescu: Thank you all for checking us out. We are currently working on restructuring our payment backend to be in full compliance with all government regulations. We will be back up as soon as all our ducks are in a row.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu I feel as though you allude the biggest problem bitcoin faces is arrogance amongst n00bs...
thestringpuller: when you can use it as TP instead :P
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi ok so not quite insane as i originally thought. still pretty insane
Chaang-Noi: i have some as well
mircea_popescu: as we buy all their products they're losing market share in the gaming mkt.
Chaang-Noi: AM is adding as well
mircea_popescu: he didn't report it as undue with the bank or anything, he's in.
gribble: Nick 'mjr_', with hostmask 'MJR_!~mjr_@72.5.43.201', is identified as user Josh_Rossi, with GPG key id C286BB96FE9B6CD3, key fingerprint 3812AFD43A6B8A057F37D858C286BB96FE9B6CD3, and bitcoin address 1LokQrHj14NU93tC6pZfTZyyRHhAVakQmX

unbalanced_: Before I go back to ignoring you, yes, taxes would apply on CAD equivalent just as they would for any other currency or commodity or local funny money. Old rules, nothing new.
tiberiusiv: bitcoin is easy as fuck to tax.
copumpkin: much as they do now
mircea_popescu: in 1999 milton friedman describes bitcoin as a future certainty
toffoo: clear as gravy
Namworld: As per MPEx rules
mircea_popescu: "Trading what? Most traders I know don't know shit about trading something as volatile as this. Reading through, people appear to not understand how futures and options work, and now they are learning, are annoyed at their own ignorance."
jurov: they had better things to do with bitcoins than having them stuck as cover?
pizzaman1337: mircea_popescu: I had some BTC deposited as surety for some old options contracts at $75, but it doesn't seem like I got it back
kakobrekla: take that as a no.
GirlfawkesyBTC: As a side note, thank you to everyone who has been politely educating me today. I've been away from btc for awhile, and before I throw myself into coinbr or other trading I'd like to feel rather competent.
mod6: i dont see the $5 level as a peg, it certainly wasn't stated anywhere, it was just suppression, and undervalued
topace: the soluttion, is, essentially to run your own mailserver, on a separate ip (that will be revealed publicly) and have it strip the appropriate headers out of the messages as they fly thorugh
kakobrekla: Think of this as a book, or at least as a quality blog, to be enjoyed with quality wine and cigars in candle light.
asciilifeform: jborkl: true, just as there is no semiconductor plant owner with the good sense to drop some of his pocket change on building a million ASIC miners and running them in his own mansion.
ezdiy: as well as affiliate marketing schemes for vipcoin
asciilifeform: truffles: I meant the banal fact that MPEx works as it says on the box, and none of the vaguely similar services proved to do the same
mircea_popescu: well the problem with the "as long as people are content" argument
ezdiy: as long people are content with those, well why not
benkay: and when money is involved as a core part of the business, many of your customers will in fact be bad customers without quality control.
asciilifeform: IMHO taxi medallions are a fair comparison. They, just as the MPEx fee, exist to keep the riffraff out.
asciilifeform: benkay: may as well ask how the cost of a NYC taxi medallion relates to the cost of the bureaucrat's pen that signs the paperwork.
Technologov__: And as any start-up investments, it brings you a certain amount of risk-reward.
ezdiy: jurov: i think the rational explanation would be: give impression you want to get asics "out there so people dont lose trust" but in fact keep it private for as long as possible :)
BTCOxygen: Also IIRC he converted bitcoins to USD as soon as he recieved them.
Technologov__: As a small investor, I know it for sure.
inhies: i read that as Tupac
Scrat: as you said it's a lot of dough upfront
Scrat: imsaguy: cant help but misread your nick as imsogay :'(
Technologov__: such as ?
Chaang-Noi: its like in 2 weeks as well
davout: dirty as usual
jurov: did he said as much? or is he just silent?
jurov: yay "This subreddit has been slow, as have my mining operations. I thought I'd freshen it up a bit!"
thestringpuller: Sure we protest, and "get uppity", but in general you're taught all through childhood "do as your told", "don't question authority".
MJR_: when your kids can google the things you tweeted as a teenager yourself...
mircea_popescu: and in fairness, the blockchain isn't as bad as either miley cyrus or doodling.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you'll have to one day sit down and write a full explanation as to why a. you think the us government matters at all and b. you think anyone other than you gives a shit.
tiberiusiv: there is no evidence silver acts as a protection in the event of a crisis
usagi: Now you know everything you need to know to calculate our value to within 5%, as our investment position has been disclosed.
seongyupyoo: well sending it back to blockchain is the best way as far as i can tell atm
seongyupyoo: if i just leave it as is, i have incentive to make fake accounts and go on a destroying spree
usagi: Anyways, I don't like how you explain how you keep the destroyed funds, because until that moment you speak of the funds as "destroyed"
usagi: So your goal is to make it legit.. and your not planning to quit, as a result of that? you will see this through?
seongyupyoo: where as if it was under mosaically umbrella, then it would be under a corporation
seongyupyoo: well someone thought that it was an issue, you're right it might not really be an issue. and it really isn't, but it was brought up, and i can see how some people might see that as risk
seongyupyoo: 2nd problem was destroying of the destroyed funds, and i'll handle that by sending it back to blockchain as fee
seongyupyoo: then i'd need to provide many transation id as a proof of destruction
ThickAsThieves: most of the destroyed coin would be sent as the tx fee
seongyupyoo: how verifiable is adding as fee though?
mircea_popescu: 3 you could just add it as miner fee in a tx.
seongyupyoo: i don't know as i don't know how to do either
thestringpuller: as you sit in your lair, surrounded by bitches shaved with nair.
MJR_: To increase the liveliness of a horse by inserting an irritant, such as a piece of peeled raw ginger or a live eel, in its fundament.
mircea_popescu: "to feague a horse is to put ginger up a horse’s fundament, and formerly, as it is said, a live eel, to make him lively and carry his tail well. It is said, a forfeit is incurred by any horse-dealer’s servant, who shall show a horse without first feaguing him."
asciilifeform: his unbathed carcass and rags are as important as an actress's manicure.
asciilifeform: rms above is a bad example. he has a "mad hermit" image (external and internal, as well) to maintain.
ThickAsThieves: as a species we are capable of absolutely anything, it's just a matter of when we decide to do so
mircea_popescu: i don't propose this as a practical solution, mind.
mircea_popescu: in practice. you get as many lashes as you can take.
mircea_popescu: jurov not as a theory.
asciilifeform: the kid is taught the times table to see if he is trainable. as witnessed by the fact that the times table continued to be taught, even in times and places where the people running the show don't give a damn whether anyone actually knows their times table.
mircea_popescu: as it should be.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing to help. all you can do is "learn this!" as an absolute imperative.
