Apocalyptic: i'm just trolling
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic for any value of real that equals worthless.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the statistical argument Duffer1 presents is sound. they never had a company that made investors a profit, and statisticallty they're batting the usual global scam exchange, -50% in 1/2 year.
mircea_popescu: collected >4k btc this year, paid no dividends, is now gone.
mircea_popescu: azoo sure. they reorganised as a entity run by "no one", recently. after which they allowed their largest company (virtex) to simply walk away from the investors
azoo: mircea_popescu: can you back this by some facts? ☟︎
azoo: to matching btc istself.. what do you mean by that?
Duffer1: like a bitcoin cocain straw, your money is their blow

Duffer1: try searching bitcointalk forums, there's good spreadsheet tips around there
Vexual: i felt the milk out for a time step that left in inhomogenous
b0n1: that means i have a measurement point at t and the next is at t+x and the other next is at t+y with x=!y
Vexual: i think if a bot is female, one knows
b0n1: hey there! I try to export trading data from bitstamp with sierracharts but strangely i get inhomogenous time steps

Vexual: i dunno, i like to see those coins moving
Duffer1: assbot doesn't give very good text though :(

Vexual: me too, now
Duffer1: man that shit should be illegal
Vexual: i goty lippy and was assisted on to public property where i duly remained lippy knowing the extent of the facism
Duffer1: so you were on your way to cuba but got too drunk instead then got picked up by the cops?
Vexual: so despite my interlude with toothless father stabbers and seemingly comatose quiet lovers, i still didnt make it to an airport to buy fortune for future signature
Vexual: just drunk and disorderly tho, so its hardly news
Vexual: 12000 reserve banks made statements about bitcoin, where the sum total of the info was no
Vexual: honestly im scared to sell any bitcoin incae the foundation says i dont have enough to send
Vexual: will these kids know if i buy finely hopped beer instead of vet treatment for my cancerous canine with my doge profits?

copumpkin: perhaps people are hopeful for the next month :)
copumpkin: yeah, I saw the latest report
bloctoc: copumpkin don't these people know that bbet has a bunch of bets expiring year end?
copumpkin: MPOE is doing pretty well these days
KRS|Gotyawallet: yeah thats the beauty of it rly
asciilifeform: funnily, tor has made lusers' traffic more public than it ever was before.
KRS|Gotyawallet: i lived for years and years with a black cloud over my head from all the tele op phreaking i did as a kid, professional warez importer..got tired of looking over my shoulder.
asciilifeform: it doesn't take long.
KRS|Gotyawallet: i mean..i could i just dont have the effort in me
KRS|Gotyawallet: i wouldnt know how to publish results like that without taking it up the ass so i just site out the whole exercise.
asciilifeform: lest you end up like that swede.
asciilifeform: if you publish your results, do it in some way that cannot be readily linked to you in meatspace.
KRS|Gotyawallet: thats what i thought
asciilifeform: KRS|Gotyawallet: no comment. but i recommend the exercise.
asciilifeform: 'bob the bridge-builder.'
KRS|Gotyawallet: just because he sucked one dick does that make him gay?
asciilifeform: 'great fleas have little fleas, on their backs to bite them...'
KRS|Gotyawallet: its like dick sucking..a guy cant just go and suck one dick and still be straight. even though it was just one dick he's a faggot.
mircea_popescu: look at the us budget for each year, you'll know about how much the taxpayer is paying to support scammers.
mircea_popescu: what else are they gonna do. once they're in porn they're in porn.
asciilifeform: i still suspect that there is a large - but finite - supply of chumpatron fuel. at least of any particular variety.
mircea_popescu: just like the porn studios are still basically doing, boy meets girl, boy gets girl.
mircea_popescu: that particularly is not true, the warrior forum is still running two or three major scams pioneered in 1995
asciilifeform: if some clever fellow runs a scam, he will harvest so many idiots that that particular species of scam won't work again - at least not without major cosmetic remodelling.
asciilifeform: there's a delicate predator-prey equilibrium, though
mircea_popescu: the irony embedded in the entire fucktard ecosystem (meaning, the noobs and those fleecing them) is that it really is quite self limiting and not particularly prosperous.
mircea_popescu: not something you'd wish to do, really.
asciilifeform: since when is there a shortage of ideas for cheats
asciilifeform: KRS|Gotyawallet: set up tor exits which replace SD addrs with yours.
asciilifeform: KRS|Gotyawallet: sell gpu cards with magic firmware to ltc miners.
KRS|Gotyawallet: i need a scam..not sure what though..mass mailings is getting old
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [COG] [PAID] 1.34510223 BTC to 9`573 shares, 14051 satoshi per share
KRS|Gotyawallet: i noticed they wont even blast their offering out there, it will be something subtle like a link in a trollbox somewhere so some sucker is all juicy over btc fortunes he just plunks down his 12 btc or whatever
mircea_popescu: mining venture taking preorders and no delivery bet ? scam. no questions need to be asked or answered past "what's the link to your delivery bet"
mircea_popescu: people know better than that.
KRS|Gotyawallet: my problem is i have to identify each offering to find out if they've made a significant investment..on the surface, i have no idea..and its a shame these other folks dond either. ie skyminer
mircea_popescu: this is why we don't care about such. noobs don't get to start businesses.
mircea_popescu: some prime investigative reporting by kakobrekla there.
ozbot: PrimeAsic - Most likely a scam. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
KRS|Gotyawallet: they were but a spec on the timeline i long forgot about that name
KRS|Gotyawallet: yes this article is exactly what im talking about
mircea_popescu: if they don't want to use them... why's that a problem.
mircea_popescu: all people need to do is use them.
mircea_popescu: anyway, there are instruments to handle these problem, as described http://trilema.com/2013/the-positive-market-effects-of-the-delivery-bet/
mircea_popescu: that's the end of that.
mircea_popescu: KRS|Gotyawallet you can't "scam the scammer" because the scammer has enough fucking sense to respect the first rule of investing, which is, don't randomly sent btc.
KRS|Gotyawallet: the crux of the problem is nobody wants to seek funding for their venture, they'd rather take "preorder" money as capital to launch their offering..since when should the customer take that risk
mircea_popescu: russellthies Jr. Member, 5 posts : "I received an email from Jim on Dec. 3rd, regarding my 1.2 th/s order (541). At that time he told me that they were working on the final "board tweaks" and that if they were late it would be by a week or so."
KRS|Gotyawallet: i want to scam the scammer someday..that would be +10000
mircea_popescu: noob makes random thread on btctalk five weeks ago. he's nobody and his thing doesn't exist.
mircea_popescu: KRS|Gotyawallet why do you think this is even a thing ?
mircea_popescu: (of course, in this perspective mega-bitcoin-corporations a la asicminer are small guys too)
asciilifeform: all good and well, rational to close down the plants, until the boats with toyotas stop coming.
asciilifeform: reminds me of russia's (and, for that matter, u.s.) disappearing auto industry
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201268.msg2121475#msg2121475 that's the story, if you care.
pankkake: use litecoin then :p
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: more like 'how much background radiation would it take to get mobsters out of manhattan'
pankkake: better be big businesses than 15 year old gamers
