mircea_popescu: so
this presentation overtstates losses
to make a better story.
mircea_popescu: they lost some btc, kept daytrading
to make it up, kept losing,
kakobrekla: the real fear is luke jr,
ThickAsThieves .
mircea_popescu: azi` basically it's
the bitcoinica blueprint rehashed.
ThickAsThieves: <asciilifeform> quantum safe? // ya we are at
the mercy of vitalik's and jordan ash's
turing quantum miners
azi`: they were stealing large sums of money but everything was fine until
the FBI closed
them down which caused a panic of withdrawals after reopening
azi`: the case reminds me very much
to
the case of full
tilt poker, really..
azi`: mircea_popescu: so you
think it's in no way related
to
the fact
that
they had some legal issues with authorities?
ThickAsThieves: omg someone on
twitter just used "Bitcoin is not Quantum Safe, sorry." as an argument
azi`: doing it just now.. i am wondering if it can change my view
that gox was just
too incopetent
to run
this "get bitcoins and run" scheme
ThickAsThieves: Havelock's response
to my market cap fix request "I will keep you posted on when
this will be updated and how."
azi`: and its unreasonable
to
think
they lost
the wallet
to
the cold storage
thing
azi`: i mean, no blockchain info about
the 700k bitcoins
azi`: i'd really like
to know what was going on at gox
ThickAsThieves: "The hack rates as one of
the largest heists in history"
nubbins`: no, only got as far as
the login screen. keyboard input goes
to
the
terminal window rather
than
the un/pw
textboxes
nubbins`: prob needs some editing, i'll
take another look over it later.
this is my first
time writing a wiki article
mircea_popescu: (well... he's bicurious. and he
thinks he might be gay)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't
think
these exist anymore, and if
they do exist
they're prolly girls.
mircea_popescu: btw,
ThickAsThieves saves
the day. if bitcoin is banned we move
to altcoin
mircea_popescu: "mpex drops 1% on news of ceo wasting his
time
talking
to idiots on
twitter"
mircea_popescu: my armchair generals are qualified
to discuss anything because
they once finished a game of starcraft
ThickAsThieves: someone should do an article on
the senator
that has "BTCUSD fell -1% on
the news"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't
think armchair generals are allowed clausewitz
ThickAsThieves: "please clarify whether
this ban would apply
to @dogecoin also?"
jurov: asciilifeform
that leaves obvious coinclusion about bruce schneiers recommended password solution
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic no but w/e, he was
talking at me on
twitter. so i respond. and when i respond
to people i don't know it highligths
them
to research
team
too, so
they give me a "who's
this guy".
ThickAsThieves: "After you ban #bitcoin, could you ban really hot, humid weather? It's really
the most annoying weather."
mircea_popescu: i guess protecting
the
term is impossible, actual people doing strategy will have
to find a new word
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in retrospect, "strategy" on such venues should be
taken as an indicator of consumate armchair generalship.
ThickAsThieves: bitstamp is much less prone
to "crashes" on "bad" news like
this
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Why do you waste your
time with people like
that? Is he some kind of uber-wealthy gateway?
BingoBoingo: So Imma guess
this recent drama means rally soon
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu Didn't realise I had
to get all my sources of income approved by you before I proceed. I'll remember for next
time,
thanks.
mircea_popescu: @TomHashemi Sure, most actual strategists I know advertise
themselves as cooks, streetsweepers, merchandise stacking "executives" and so on
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu errrr maybe because I do both?
try reading
the full page before you comment...
mircea_popescu: @TomHashemi No. And why am I
talking
to derps who
think
they may put "strategy" on
their bio when what
they do is code websites ?
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu Nope... I've read enough of your nonsense on bitcointalk
to do it on
twitter as well
mircea_popescu: @TomHashemi Did you want
to share something with
the group ?
Duffer1: none of
that sentence made sense
mike_c: what about
the lazy americans?
gx: Before
the U.S. gets
too far behind
the curve on
this important
topic, I urge
the regulators
to work
together, act quickly, and prohibit
this dangerous currency from harming hard-working Americans.
Duffer1: not like
the premine was a lot of coins just a mere 50%
ArsKisS: ThickAsThieves, well,
that knida explained :P
mircea_popescu: as soon as
they figure out wtf
they are. will be 2015 at
the ealiest.
gx: god,
that article just drives me nuts
ArsKisS: afaik
they gonna distribute
ArsKisS: ThickAsThieves, iceland government gonna scam
their citizens?
mircea_popescu: the usg has
the god given right
to destroy any wealth of its citizens it can.
ThickAsThieves: i wonder, is
there a legal ground for disallowing
the USG
to ban it on grounds
that it would destroy huge amounts of wealth for US citizens already invested?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile i'm having fun on
twitter with
twerps who describe
themselves as "Strategy & Research"
ThickAsThieves: "Bitcoin has also become a haven for individuals
to buy black market items. " shit it's harder
to get stuff with bitcoin
than dollars now
ThickAsThieves: [15:09] <ThickAsThieves> look at
those assholes shoving iphones in his face
ThickAsThieves: every politician needs some aide
telling him
to consider what implications his comments have on
the US dollar
ArsKisS: you didn't see
the rows before my comment
mike_c: "I am most concerned
that as Bitcoin is inevitably banned in other countries, Americans will be left holding
the bag on a valueless currency"
mircea_popescu: most of it is just spam basically made
to make one feel important.
mircea_popescu: jesus fuck, i go craft, check
twitter half hour later, 24 interactions
the20year2: Then, depending on accreditation you
then are limited
to a number of investors
the20year2: To issue bonds in
the US, up
to $50m all
that is required is
to issue a PPM and file with
the SEC in
the respective investor's state
the20year2: There's a medium sized REIT i ran into out of
texas

the same way I would like
to do ours

to stop financing period until
their business actually runs
