chipug: are
they still doing
the 1k party? or has
that passed even
chipug: a gathering as opposed
to a party
then lol exciting all
the same
mircea_popescu: b0n1 you don't have
to anything. you've made a claim as
to having been an old
timer. if you want
that
taken seriously you'll have
to offer some corroboration.
Duffer1: just a hypothesis
that could explain both btc-tc and bitfunder closures
b0n1: mircea_popescu do I have
to
tell you?
Duffer1: i don't know what happened
there
mircea_popescu: so closing down
the "profitable"
thing in
the middle of its profit is unexplainable, and
the govt did it ?
Duffer1: i wasn't around for
the labcoin ipo
Duffer1: i've heard
that accusation, i haven't seen support for it
Duffer1: actm/labcoin
trading was a huge increase in
trade volume, i'm assuming
that would
translate into increase revenues, but
there is
the idiocy factor
mircea_popescu: how do you know how much money it was making in
the first place ?
Duffer1: my lemonade stand is making more money
than ever, i
think i'll shut it down
mircea_popescu: which is
the entire
thing
that powers conspiracism. easier
to believe glbse was shut down by aliens
than
the gaping psychologic chasm of an alternative
Duffer1: that's a degree of idiocy i'm not willing
to assign burnside lol
mircea_popescu: i can't begin
to guess. what do you mean it doesn't adequately explain ? idiocy is adequate explanation for ANY behaviour
Duffer1: well sure, but
that doesn't adequately explain why
they'd shutdown at
their most profitable
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 yes, you are wrong. for instance when
the govt closed down
the sr, you knew
this because...
they said so.
mircea_popescu: <b0n1> I am one of
the early adopters as you all are, but 10 btc for a meeting? << what have you done ?
mircea_popescu: <Duffer1> i believe btc-tc and bitfunder were likely shutdown by some manner of US federal gov intervention << people believed
the same of glbse.
theo__: so what? 2 years ago
that was like $0.10
b0n1: I really cant believe davout paid 10 btc
to go
there...
jurov: I paid only 5 because
the rate went up
b0n1: If I read
the article
there are 2 options:
jurov: and
there are hostels in
timisoara. i was in one after missing my
train, was nice, can't complain
mod6: b0n1: its 10 BTC
to get on
the VIP list. you should read
the article again.
chipug: b0n1: it's not like
that's
the price of doing it yourself.
that's
the price of a nice package with it
jurov: i'm
trying
to exaplin it's in usd,
too, but b0ni is already freaed out
jurov: just register as non-vip,
the hotel rooms and meals are not very expensive
b0n1: I know
that meeting people is important... and I also know
that meeting important people is more important... but what
the fuck should I
think about a 10btc meeting? Honestly, I dont understand it...
chipug: weren't
they all clubbing in for
the germany party
too?
b0n1: what is
this? 10 girls doing a lapdance for everybody
taking part?
b0n1: give me a good reason for
the price?
jurov: instead of
Timisoara
b0n1: I really dont know why
the price...
this just smells bad
b0n1: I am one of
the early adopters as you all are, but 10 btc for a meeting?
b0n1: I honestly want
to meet you guys, but wtf so high price?
ozbot: The conference, second edition pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
jurov: and what' worse, ukyo hasn't paid out 92% of btc, again due
to undisclosed problems
Duffer1: neither will
talk about it
theo__: So
they closed because
they didn't
think
they had
the legal grounds
to stand on?
theo__: jurov: i meant in regards
to havelock not Rentalstarter
jurov: theo__:
they "talked
to lawyer"
theo__: What happened
to BF? did
they just up and run? or get hacked or something?
jurov: i don't have enough btc
to divest in such way, after all
the20year2: they have alot of good stuff going for
them
the20year2: And yet havelock is much more organized
then BF was
theo__: jurov: in your experience with
this being
the case would you invest into first
there IPO's and 2ndly would you
trust
them with your BTC
jurov: ^ b0n1
the first one
jurov: ;;google
trilema conference second edition
jurov: <the20year>
There was one guy i
talked
to who was alright, lots of miscommunication <<
This
too.
jurov: <the20year> for some reason all
the guys at havelock hate
text commuication and always call << I can confirm
b0n1: hey guys! when is
the btc conference of
this channel?
theo__: mmmmm quiet
time while bitcoin jumps around

mod6: ;;later
tell nanotube i want
to buy 500 btc from you at 0.25, as per your outstanding offer. <<
this comment from
the OTC wiki lol
ThickAsThieves: anyone
that is
trying
to
teach marketers something, is
teaching
them how
to be a consumer
Bugpowder: No you only
trade your ATC for BTC locally. It's not money laundering, its ATC laundering. Very different.
mircea_popescu: i always
thought
the farts southpark episode was about him, but
they didn't want
to name him figuring (corrctly)
that he's obscure enough he'd gain from
the exposure
gribble: #19517 Fri Feb 7 20:10:59 2014 mod6 BUY 100000.0 ATC @ 1.5e-06 BTC (Want
to buy 100,000 ATC for a
total of 0.15 BTC, must have WoT rating. PM me.)
ThickAsThieves: “Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don't need
to escape from.”
Bugpowder: Well, I
think
there is a real market opportunity for localaltcoins.com.
ThickAsThieves: bugpowder it's not a joke it's an experiment in irony,
tribes, and feedback loops
mircea_popescu: a gallon is a gallon if you carry it in
the
truck or on
the back.
BingoBoingo: Dimsler: Garbage, unlike doges have a use
though
pankkake: not
the same proof of work, does not compare
Dimsler: it is a
trading floor for garbage
Dimsler: i didn't know
this was a
trading floor for garbage?
mircea_popescu: i
think in a day or
two alt blockchain will have done more hashng
than all of doge in its entire history.
BingoBoingo: I'd like
to find someone with 30k alt
to sell me at 150 satoshi
mod6: yeah, so figure for 100k ATC... be about .15 btc
total?
Bugpowder: I hear ATC is now pegged
to
the DOGEer.
mod6: oh?
thought 1.0 ATC ~ 0.00000150 BTC
mircea_popescu: but i
tell you! it's great
to have a
token worthless internet funbux currency
to
throw around
