mike_c: no reason for it to "crash" more than the dividend payment.
lalusch: giving the exact dat of dividend payment could make the stocks price crash 2 minutes after div payment as just 1 bigger player has to sell then, on such a low volume
lalusch: but actually this makes them even more credible for me
mircea_popescu: all they do is crap like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=465334.msg5224850#msg5224850
mircea_popescu: lalusch no. they do not publish either reports or any sort of sensible anything.

lalusch: yes, thats what i'm feeling too
mircea_popescu: the entire thing just melds into one big scam
mircea_popescu: lalusch possibly nobody here keeping track of individual cryptostocks scams
chetty: haha so many scams. so little time
mircea_popescu: lalusch which one is that ?
lalusch: Would anyone be so kind and give me a link to information on the Scharmbeck scam? lost track of this whole thing about a month ago
ozbot: Overstock CEO Expects Bitcoin Derivatives - TheStreet
mircea_popescu: i suppose that's the future use of all the two bit scammers i nthe history of bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: check that shit out lmao
mircea_popescu: I thought I was reading the script for a bad cop movie. Did the government use a plea agreement to force Charno to help the government capture drug reps that he had never even met?
mircea_popescu: The third witness presented by the United States Government was the confidential informant, Dr. Steven Charno. After pleading guilty to medical insurance fraud stemming from his criminal act of filing fraudulent medical insurance bills in the amount of $821,000.00, Dr. Charno cooperated with the United States Government against Alfred Caronia.
mircea_popescu: The trick was, Dr. Charno was actually a government informant. That's odd. And I have never heard of a doctor who requested a promotional speech. He cold called a rep he had never met and asked to meet him to discuss a drug he had never prescribed?
mircea_popescu: Dr. Gleason eventually came, and, in the presence of Caronia, had a discussion with Dr. Charno about off-label uses for Xyrem (insomnia, restless legs, etc). Is Caronia responsible? Should he have stopped Gleason? The court said yes, and convicted him.
mircea_popescu: On October 26, 2005, [drug rep] Mr. Caronia went to Dr. Charno's office. He had never met Dr. Charno before, nor had any previous contact with him but for the phone calls from Dr. Charno seeking a promotional speech. During the meeting, Dr. Charno repeatedly asked Mr. Caronia off-label questions and asked to meet Dr. Gleason [a speaker for the company.]
mircea_popescu: btcland wanted to show mp oneup
ThickAsThieves: too bad btcland had to drive it up to 5.5btc
mircea_popescu: so it's one of the few happy stories in btcland
mircea_popescu: well it's not bad, overal it paid in dividends way more than it originally cost
mircea_popescu: benkay nenver underestimate the advantage of a harem of slaves.
ThickAsThieves: Today is also my official first day not being tied to AM in any way anymore
benkay: mircea_popescu the mods are paid in shares, then? the mods are you and kakobrekla then?
ThickAsThieves: Since Feb 28, 2013 until Feb 26, 2014, ASICMiner has paid out over the past year:
mircea_popescu: benkay roughly for the same reason tyhe cost of mp as ceo doesn't show in s.mpoe's books
benkay: mircea_popescu why is that?
mike_c: it's tough being judge & jury. not a job I envy.
benkay: mp caved on the coin v scam situation
mike_c: so now it depends on definition of "ends up", cuz aurora is tanking.
mircea_popescu: update the updater
ThickAsThieves: which is now telling me i need to update, after every update
ThickAsThieves: only for one thing
chetty: you touch Java?
chetty: Three third-grade students at a Sonora elementary school were busted for smoking pot in the school’s bathroom last week.
chetty: eeww just the name makes me queasy
mircea_popescu: deadweasel tell him it's supposed to be goxgoxcoin
deadweasel: I endorse this, and I've already started development on Goxcoincoin, set to go live when Goxcoin is hacked into bankruptcy. Goxcoincoin will allow people to buy interests in Goxcoin assets.
asciilifeform: * there i was
asciilifeform: damn, there was, going 'hedsoff.com'...
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 2.40070057 BTC to 3`643 shares, 65899 satoshi per share
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they ain't beheading them, just keeping them on ice for a few weeks.
chetty: will do asciilifeform, probably a couple days, must draw out the drama
mircea_popescu: chetty obviously. they had to be pretty fucking stupid to not realise that "independent" military has no problem doing it.
mircea_popescu: mastercoin is a technology ?
asciilifeform: chetty: wake me up for the beheading vid.
ThickAsThieves: "Using a technology called Mastercoin, the Goxcoin people would mint a brand new digital currency"
asciilifeform bows in respect to my happy invisible friends
mircea_popescu: this is an ancient greek idea. careful what you say for the gods may be short of inspiration
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform see ? the real nsa is always listening.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yeah they got bailed in

Apocalyptic: altcoin is going to da moon too I heard
ThickAsThieves: winklesvii to the moon! http://winklevosscapital.com/posts/78649481042
ozbot: Iota and Jot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
asciilifeform: or here's a fun variation on the theme:
asciilifeform: what can be more straightforward than 'SKI combinator' calculus ?
mircea_popescu: how you know the author lives in a fascist state.
mircea_popescu: "These flaws were discovered passively using the information which was returned by the web server following a normal request. I have not exploited any of the holes found."
mircea_popescu: by the time which is done... well... good luck.
mircea_popescu: which requires them acquire proficiency in a number of porriges
mircea_popescu: because most children' maturation requires they become socially inserted
mircea_popescu: but thats quite besides the point
asciilifeform: any child who played 'mad libs' (or whatever it's called on the other side of the atlantic today) can understand 'lambda'
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, explain something truely basic, like say lambda, to the basic crowd.
mircea_popescu: they're all complex porrige of many things.
mircea_popescu: compare basic and lisp. there is NOTHING basic about any one basic instruction
mircea_popescu: for instance, tell me what is a number ?
mircea_popescu: that's the thing. basic things are only accessible to the very very elite.
asciilifeform: usually to no avail
mircea_popescu: yeah, they would.
asciilifeform: i keep trying to wake people up to this fact
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: 1% & comsec - one needn't be a historic champion to learn basic things
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform true, true
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic so let the mass think it has power, and then get indignant whenever mpoe-pr shows up.
asciilifeform: this also works at the turd stand
mircea_popescu: adding to that : generally at the fruit stand, the peaches which have all the bugs swarming in are the best.
asciilifeform: i guess i'm just terrible at measuring which miscreants are dumb enough to be harmless
Mats_cd03: many people need structured learning to progress further
Apocalyptic: "<QuantumQrack> No, I'm saying the true leaders have massive power. But in a cryptocurrcency wold....the mass has the power."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in the same sense using bitcoin "written" by the sadly famous taaki doesn't bother me.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i read some old posts this morning. you are using 'crystal space' - written by the sadly famous taaki ? this does not bother you ?
Mats_cd03: im all for the beauty of discovery, hacking, and all that
mircea_popescu: also, i'm with Mats_cd03. asciilifeform's ideas are tailored for the 1%. nttawwt, but kind-of dangerous if you're not in.
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu Pity the US wasn't keeping it all in #Bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: Bit Power @Mircea_Popescu Still talkin' -- Russia threatens to confiscate U.S. assets....
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu So has the #ImpotentAlliance invaded the Ukraine Soviet Republic yet or we still talkin' ?
deadweasel: i agree on all counts, but it's not to say you can't comb the logs for some direction.
Mats_cd03: i lurk there and i rarely see any good conversation
deadweasel: what's everyone's take on the folks at ##security?
r3wt: thanks for the advice Mats_cd03
Mats_cd03: thats what the foundational books are for
Apocalyptic: do as in solving and creating the challenges
asciilifeform: doesn't teach the process of how they come to exist
asciilifeform: Mats_cd03: studying classic examples only takes you so far
Apocalyptic: I used to do a lot of crackmes back in the days
