smickles: as far as i knew, deepbit and theymos were interchangable
thestringpuller: for prepaid cards that's as easy as having a bank account
vampireb_: as far as i recall you do
thestringpuller: as I told smickles I'm working on a (maybe open source) solution for bitinstants debit card
PsychoticBoy: as much of a G.I.R.L. as I am (Guy In Real Life)
jcpham: i read as his interview as this: if i never log in to glbse again, I get nothing
MrTiggr: * MrTiggr is now know as Turdlord ... thats a cool nichk :D
mircea_popescu: lmao so I get btctalk digests from my pr girl. this stuff is almost as funny as the forum itself. for instance :
dub: problem is that once in a blue moon someone will ask you to operate a less civilised unix and enragement will ensue as you fumble around without it
BTC-Mining: I think I'd have to be registered as a money transfer service to make credit card payments for people and deduct them from income.
mircea_popescu: Mithridates married his first young sister Laodice. Laodice was 16 years old and was her brother’s first wife. Mithridates married Laodice to preserve the purity of their blood-line, as a wife to rule with him as a sovereign over Pontus, to ensure the succession to his legitimate children, and to claim his right as a ruling monarch.
BTC-Mining: I don't see sending a fee with those zero value coins as a problem at all
BTC-Mining: So basically anyone could create as much 0 value coins and mark them.
mircea_popescu: this could work as a support for a p2p stocks accounting system
mircea_popescu: so proposed is a paralel blockchain which can be mergedmined with btc and shares the same address space (ie, same key signatures as btc addresses)
BTC-Mining: as such, to issue shares, an asset manager would have to buy blank coins from a miner
BTC-Mining: I don't see that as a problem...
mircea_popescu: . It will be paid to the same address which is registered as the owner of the colored coins - but the receiver will need to be careful when spending the dividends, so it doesn't accidentally spend the transaction that represents the share.
Doffx: Ill be sitting pretty soon as this bullshit falls apart, provided I survive it.
dub: mircea_popescu: true true, I have a pm buddy that is currently contracted to a bank, as CIO
mircea_popescu: i actually think it is irresponsible as a business practice not to.
Doffx: As far as the investors go I dont really know how to answer that part.
mircea_popescu: it actually lists securities as opposed to scams
mircea_popescu: thing was going to shit, the fact that i killed them back in may finally landed in their thick skulls, quick grab for as much money as possible ensued as part of the unwinding procedures.
BTC-Mining: That's why you put the smart one on a computer and the retard as the manager to whip the troop and be loud.
thestringpuller: i'm your sister as a teen
mircea_popescu: but as a general principle, it's hard to ask for any third party action on a contract with a dispute resolution clause that wasn't met.
thestringpuller: as mircea_popescu says, they are stuck in eternal september
jurov: by popular request... so that potential users can see it's not so scary as mpex
BTC-Mining: I'd consider their inaction as a poor choice, but would not consider them responsible.
BTC-Mining: Also, since you consider intent, I suppose you wouldn't be against minors or infants who have no choice or knowing intent of causing such hostile acts. As such, why held adults responsible for inaction when they themselve are completly clueless.
BTC-Mining: I'd class sniping someone as harmful.
BTC-Mining: Well, yes, many country are FAR from being in such a mess as the US.
thestringpuller: I might as well just make a business instead of trying to bu y one
Azelphur: as much as I'd like to sell SS shares right now, gotta tell it like it is lol
Azelphur: I imagine it's not too much of an alternative now, as soon as GLBSE puts out the info it's shutting down anyway
Azelphur: dub: it's really bad because in his thread early on he specifically says he don't invest in BS&T which is why I left so much in there, as another investment
Azelphur: we might as well pack up and go home now
thestringpuller: that is if the check is as liquid as a moneygram/moneyorder
thestringpuller: if there was a way to "collect" like in the physical world it wouldn't have been as bad
thestringpuller: as long as SR exists btc will always have a place on the internet
Ukto: as we get closer to halftime, it should go up more
noagendamarket: run away as fast as possible in the other direction
noagendamarket: everything is shady as
mircea_popescu: i guess it wasn't immediately obvious to people that as long as they keep the deposit slip they can prove depositing
noagendamarket: such as "your fake shares are real"
BTC-Mining: As far as I know, there never was such a thing. Usagi proposed it and Nefario was considering.
mircea_popescu: but wait. as to the later part : what else was it a panel for ? masturbatory onanism ?
BTC-Mining: Conveniently known as MPOE-PR
BTC-Mining: I also complained about "the girl", not for believing that GLBSE was a scam (She's free to believe whatever she wants) but for supporting her claims with unfounded statements and speculations which were false and presented as established facts.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla inasmuch as the giga holdings, i was. guy wouldn't keep it private, what can i tell you.
rdponticelli: And is allowed by the contract, as long as you have the backinv
smickles: and the mpex securities as part of a computer game
dub: smickles: as long as these 'sane' people aren't also congratulating nefario on handling this in the best way possible
smickles: thestringpuller: those romainian lawyers see bitcoin as WOW gold
smickles: BTC-Mining: awesome, eh? as he was about 7 hours (if we're using utc time) away from defaulting on a contract
BTC-Mining: Not for everyone as far as I know
thestringpuller: As Ed Wuncler once said, "[bfl] is trying to buttfuck me on the time/price"
BTC-Mining: nothing as of yet
mircea_popescu: i need 119900 new btc. as far as you're concerned, you get 100 btc back
rdponticelli: Back in the times, they used to be in local time, and it became a mess as soon as they had to share information
kakobrekla: i got something as well
mircea_popescu: http://www.jeg.ro/titlul-mortii/ here's a little poll as to what that should mean lol
gribble: You rated user smickles on Sat Aug 25 08:39:34 2012, giving him a rating of 4, and supplied these additional notes: He's been running MPOE.ETF and releasing THE monthly reports, a model for all Bitcoin financial reporting. Also handled k's of BTC as broker for various clients..
gribble: Nick 'darsie', with hostmask 'darsie!~username@91-119-99-61.dynamic.xdsl-line.inode.at', is identified as user darsie, with GPG key id F732FBF3E4219D48, key fingerprint E18FBF4D0EE26522E950A06AF732FBF3E4219D48, and bitcoin address 153MZbMVJcyT1Usc1K5BEroe7zGj4rShy1

mircea_popescu: smickles as in, charged with a lot of decorations
smickles: and as you know, they call me a 'merican
thepulledstring: something that is as liquid as cash to dispense for btc
thepulledstring: that would serve as a liquidity provider
thepulledstring: I worked in a microelectronics fabrication lab at Georgia Tech as an undergrad.
knotwork: and they can claim it wasnt their fault too, as if they didnt insist and lobby etc for a website precisely to let it happen
smickles: jurov: i will provide consulting services as part of my business ;D
mircea_popescu: rdponticelli banks suck, the margins are about as narrow as in electricity production.
mircea_popescu: money as a barrier to entry is great, because in spite of all its failings, modern society works pretty well at keeping idiots and money apart.
mircea_popescu: you know... it's almost as if the banks are by now workingtogether to fuck over btc exchanges
MrTiggr: i wudnt classify that as typical regulation though
MrTiggr: not as far as i am concerned - i equate bitcoin to cash ... im not giving my dollar bills to anyone i dont trust ... neither should a bitcoiner
copumpkin: that's not to say I think one side is as good as the other, mind you
copumpkin: "I'm against all forms of regulation and government control, except, OH SHIT, PEOPLE ARE BUYING IMMORAL THINGS WITH BITCOIN. WE MUST BANISH IT FROM THE EARTH AS GOD EXPECTS"
copumpkin: well, the crime was already committed, and they can claim that many people were defrauded as a result of the unregulated exchange operating for so long
BTC-Mining: I remember calculating it as higher than that however.
smickles: it said "Accepted c5b1c47c.155918dc" and for a moment, my heart raced as i thought i hit a block
smickles: also, most of my stuff isn't here yet, i'm using a stepstool with a couple of rags for padding as my seat
mircea_popescu: a well. as long as it was working for ya lol
mircea_popescu: you're not the only one calling me mp lol. and as long as the computer's on i have irc going.
rdponticelli: Nice thing is that you can kill yourself as many times as you like in the middle
BTC-Mining: So as such... well he can take his time repaying
knotwork: however for CDN, UKB, MBC, NKL, GMC, GRF, UNS, GZB one can indeed treat them like shares as those nations/corps do own assets
smickles: as soon as I confirm the total fees which i'll need to pay for licensing and registration, i'll sell some btc for ust too
smickles: I'll operate out of tucson, AZ as a registered llc
EskimoBob: pufff.... as expected
knotwork: if you ask a lowyer if running a web based business at all is illegal they might well advise that if you have to ask, then maybe it is, and probe as to what exactly about what you plan to do is something you think might be illegal and why
knotwork: it would have been slaugtered on GLBSE though as everything just went into free-fall forever unto worthlessness ;)
Ukto: as I said
knotwork: so it would get to buy little bits at a time as price falls
Ukto: as i have tried to help in the past
Ukto: DeaDTerra: can you blame teh community for treating someone who is acting like a sscammer, as a scammer?
kakobrekla: my funds are as good as stolen
gp5st: smickles: there are a bunch out there, I kind of wanted to do it as an exercise. I was thinking ruby to start
