jurov: i have urology exam scheduled, but no way
that would arrive on
time
ozbot: imgur:
the simple image sharer
jurov: oh, you did
the dick surgery
tees? i can't find
them
jurov: nubbins`:
that's
too dorky even for me
nubbins`: jurov, wouldn't you rather your pgp fingerprint printed on a shirt in same-color ink
tho? ;D
nubbins`: mircea_popescu,
too much cruft in logs
to make it worth sorting
thru for publishing
chetty: Even
the brain dead are starting
to notice something is wrong pankkake
pankkake: interestingly, my mother, employed by
the government and historically a socialist, is probably less blinded
mircea_popescu: of course
this is a bankrupt arrangement, but
that never stopped anyone before.
pankkake: I'm
trying
to guide my parents out of
the distorsion by
the way… not working at all :(
mircea_popescu: this is not accidental but deliberate :
the more unable
to correctly price risk people are,
the more
they perceive
the need for said government
mircea_popescu: making
the world appear less risky and risky behaviour appear more rewarding
than it is
the case in fact.
mircea_popescu: because his parents have lived
their entire life in a distorted environment engineered by government
to misrepresent
the feedback
mircea_popescu: because
the random clueless noob believes his independence is ultimately more important
than his survival
pankkake: why is
the first step always
to create an altcoin
pankkake: why even
trade
those
things
that are far from
tested
ozbot: List of Major Bitcoin Heists,
Thefts, Hacks, Scams, and Losses
mircea_popescu: apparently
the compartment where knowledge happens and
the compartment where
this stuff happens don't communicate in
the average bitcoiner brain
jurov: they got delusion mircea might be interested and crapped
their pants
mircea_popescu: you can
tell vitalik
there's no chance of
that. i wouldn't
trade a bitten sub for his crud.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
they looked at atc and started dreamin'.
ThickAsThieves: we need
to work around such a possibility. If no whales come onboard on such a scale,
then we will have a small market cap
to start off anyway."
ThickAsThieves: "We are seriously worried
that if we offer a small cap
then some large investor will simply gobble it up all at once, and
then we'll basically have Ripple. Judging by
the response we have gotten so far, we realized
that it is entirely possible, even if unlikely,
that some whale with 200000 BTC sitting around will decide
that Ethereum just might be
the right coin
to
throw 10% into, and
ThickAsThieves: “the grand jury is
the
total captive of
the prosecutor who, if he is candid, will concede
that he can indict anybody, at any
time, for almost anything.”
mircea_popescu: that's ok, i'll just
take it as reflective of my mordant wit and deep understanding of matters
ozbot: WARNING
to BM Subscribers: Do NOT Open Any Document Re: Mt.Gox from Our Staff – Bitcoin Magazine
ThickAsThieves: hmm
the bitbet mod in
the comments says any exchange with 1000btc vol will do if others are dead
mircea_popescu: btw, epic prescience on part of
the bitbet mod
there huh.
pankkake: " Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles will be found dead by
the March 20th" lol
mircea_popescu: theoretically he was banned from
the system at
that point, but whether
this is actually
true or not has not been verified.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 he was able
to get carry
to disclose private information of a user upon request
Duffer1: what's
the extent of Ver's involvement w/ blockchain.info? is it angel investor only or does he have a more active role?
mircea_popescu: dexX7_ i wouldn't
trust
that sort of nonsense
too much.
mircea_popescu: pretty much anyone who said
this or variations
thereof
the past few weeks is either going
to be prosecuted or called up as a witness.
jurov: btc-e just croaked
too?
dexX7_: but
there was already a statement like "japan does not care, because it's btc"
mircea_popescu: and from
the little i understand of
the japanese legal system, amply sufficient
to secure a conviction.
mircea_popescu: because selective scamming is in fact sufficient
to establish bad faith
pankkake: why would a company want
to buy what is mostly bad reputation and debt?
mircea_popescu: anyway yeah, sturles and others who made statements about it will be key witnesses once
this goes
to court in a few months
azi`: you guys
think
there is any chance folks will get
their stuff from gox?
dexX7_: didn't see
the update
till now
dexX7_: he wanted
to buy a lot of goxcoins in
the -otc
thread
ThickAsThieves: really
the dude is in a constant state of nervousness, maybe he did know
ThickAsThieves: "There was no evidence
that hundreds of
thousands of coins were missing when Roger Ver made
the so-called “hostage” video six months ago." for reference:

ThickAsThieves: maybe
this will be
the
things
that
teaches
them it was a bad idea
too
ThickAsThieves: Duffer1
there is a public list of all Icelanders I believe
dexX7_: Duffer1: as far as i know
there is some kind of "claim portal" website
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you're never going
to be able
to limit all derpage.
Duffer1: mail printed priv keys
to everyone in iceland?
Duffer1: i'm curious how
they're going
to hand it out
ThickAsThieves: well i at least care in
that it's representing scams as
things with actual value over
things
that aren't
usaoscoin: turns out
twobitidiot is a crypto insurance seller
mircea_popescu: how many people get special made
twitter accts
to derp at
them ?
ozbot: Aer
Turris (scirper) on
Twitter
mircea_popescu: "now
the scammers are fucked and mp doesn't want
to
talk
to us. what shall we do!11 bitcoin is dieing!!11"
ThickAsThieves: there was a
time i really wanted
to work
there, I poured over job listings for a few weeks and never saw one
thing I wanted
to do
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's hysterical. "o guise, we backed
the scammers,
tho mp
told us not
to. and we were impertinent
to mp"
ThickAsThieves: "Say what you like about Google, but it isn’t an easy place
to get hired at.
The entrance interviews are notoriously
tough, and it is a highly desired employer – which makes Mike Hearn’s departure all
the more notable."
MisterE: I fucking hate
text mesaging
mircea_popescu: you generally want
to be able
to reference what was said afore
mircea_popescu: most literate people have a lot of
trouble with
the illiterate approach promoted by
twitter and cellphone companies.
mircea_popescu: the idea is
that random joe schmoe can't log a chan he doesn't own
MisterE: omg get
the #freenode police heh
dexX7_: no logging without warning in
the channel
topic :p
dexX7_: and
the log is against
the freenode channel guidelines!
MisterE: man
that log archive is handy!
ThickAsThieves: "In
the past week,
the People’s Bank of China has been
trying
to inject more
two-way volatility into yuan
trading by guiding
the currency lower, an effort Chinese officials and analysts say is aimed at paving
the way for widening
the yuan’s
trading band sometime
this year."
