mircea_popescu: except in the months where mpoe fails [to behave as expected]
EskimoBob: do not confuse your gain as bonds share of your gain
EskimoBob: as simple as that
EskimoBob: you loss, is yours and this is something you business partner have to talk to you about :) not "me" as a bond holder
mircea_popescu: or, as it really is with bonds, "except in case of default"
EskimoBob: you see, you as a bond issuer have to worry about insurance and this will lover the yield but increase the "secure" part of the deal
EskimoBob: the problem with bonds is: I as a bond holder, do not rally "care" so you make or lose money. No matter what happens, you owe me the promised % and you are obligated to return the principal
mircea_popescu: you don't ipo as a dood that doesn't even know what gpg is.
BTC-Mining: How would you achieve such a thing as a web of trust for assets?
mircea_popescu: which as far as i know was never yet used irl
BTC-Mining: The contract is that of a bond, but the issuers (at least the most reputable ones in the bitcoin community) decided not to leave them as fixed bonds.
mircea_popescu: yes but as the guy rightly points out, in order for something to be a bond it needs to meet some criteria.
smickles: nanotube: you were mentioned as not being a thief and a lier, iirc
BTC-Mining: Lowering slowly as ASICs become more performant
BTC-Mining: As such, a stable fiat to BTC rate would seem better
BTC-Mining: As I see it, if bitcoin prices soars, you'd be better off keeping them (although you still earn more as difficulty adapt). If prices drop, you have too much hashing per price and returns decrease
smickles: mircea_popescu: as low as 0.00861487
mircea_popescu: as any perfect system , the wot is only as good as the tech using it
smickles: mircea_popescu: if polimedia is, as you state, your company. then surely you can show me a pic of the company's logo/name on a bumpersticker which is itself on a pair of tits
mircea_popescu: the tax # is 22530016 and it's operating today as the first day.
Luceo: What would be counted as decent?
Azelphur: but it's still performing exactly as they said it was
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining who pays for your labour as a thug ?
mircea_popescu: costs what to grow, bout the same as hay ?
tsukino: They would have faired better to hire me as an arbitrator
mircea_popescu: are the korean hos as hot as vragnaroda says ?
mircea_popescu: * kakobreklaa is now known as kakobrekla
mircea_popescu: AS TO DEFENDANT BITCOINICA LP, ALSO KNOWN AS BITCOINICA BITCOINICA CONSULTANCY LTD INTERSANGO LTD. NORMAN, DONALD STRATEMAN, PATRICK TAAKI, AMIR DOES 1 THRU 100, INCL. SUMMONS ISSUED
Ignatius-otc: Many ebay sellers manipulate their fb as if they drop below a certain % they could have their accounts temporarily denied selling rights. By having multiple accounts sellers can control their fb %.
mircea_popescu: i just want to do things smoothly so as not to shock the market.
DeaDTerra: When then things started to go worse, I thought it was just some development errors it will soon be fixed. The actual truth that a rebate was not being developed and b ZipConf didn't work as intended was not told. Instead they said it's being worked on or being delayed.
DeaDTerra: Yes I was kind of covering for him, he told me things was delayed and that it would soon be up and running. naively I belived him and as long as he payed the dividends i thought it was okay. This is for ZIP.A
teek: ohh mann glbse is slow as molasses today
DeaDTerra: I think so as well :P
kakobrekla: i would try goats as well.
mircea_popescu: usagi you're prolly on solid ground to mark the respective lines as a complete loss in your book
DeaDTerra: all his projects, all his secrets, all his new and up and coming once as well.
mircea_popescu: that's quite possible as an explanation
DeaDTerra: I have tried to get contact with him, as he plans to run Bitcoin related projects in the future. It will not work out unless he cleans this mess up
DeaDTerra: since then I have been pushing for a wrap up/buy back of this whole thing but as he's very very slow at getting back if he gets back to you at all that is, it's very hard to negotiate.
DeaDTerra: I am quite pissed at JRO, as he promised me that he would fix this, all of this. Both ZIP.A and Rebate were to be paid back or the service were to go up and start generating profit. So I bought him time and what does he give me, more silence and bullshit. sigh...
mircea_popescu: 2. everyone's involvement is unclear especialyl as to limits till the point something goes wrong.
DeaDTerra: when rebate couldn't show the results the shareholders wanted I pushed for a buy back and as JRO didn't respond and I haven't talked to him in a week Nefario decided to shut down the accounts, to investigate what was going on.
mircea_popescu: DeaDTerra so then as conjecture, the problem they were trying to solve solved them, people got disheatened, took a nervous break-down, will in principle be back to unwind soonish
DeaDTerra: Rebate is up and running but is not as profitable as it needs to be and I doubt it will be as profitable, as long as it's not integrated to ZipConf and it doesn't have a proper development team behind it.
DeaDTerra: ZipConf has a major flaw/bug in the system, it's unknown when or if it will ever be fixed, JRO has said that it might not be able to be launched publically but it can instead run as a network with only trusted parties on it. Note that I am parafrasing
mircea_popescu: i'm asking because "Hello, I am sorry that there has been no official thread so far JRO the owner of Rebate has not had time to post one as he has a lot to do with other projects, Kronor etc."
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 as in, diversified ?
EskimoBob: but "D" is not same as "d" in linux world :)
usagi: We can take the other side of covered calls as well, which is a popular option for customers
BTC-Mining: So long as it's their videos and it does not contain any brand/copyright music seen or heard within
BTC-Mining: As far as I know, their stats are very accurate and detailed.
DeaDTerra: as long as you have some reputation and you can guarantee that you can pay it back
BTC-Mining: As such, being able two place multiple bid on the same balance would be interesting to insure you can buy the first that gets an ask coming in.
BTC-Mining: That's half true. Suppose price is 1 and 2 on different shares and you have 18 BTC. You might want to buy those at 0.9 BTC or 1.8BTC each, with no preference as to which to buy first.
BTC-Mining: I however would like to see a setting allowing to set a % over/under market price at which it triggers a confirmation screen to pop. It would be as simple as a lightweight javascript checking the 7 day average and comparing if it's x% over or under your current setting.
kakobrekla: as looking to find apropriate words
kakobrekla: its not 'where' as you typed but 'how'
dub: was going to ask if it gets cold inside as a result
kakobrekla: could as well be gpumax?
BTC-Mining: there's no ASICs online as far as we know...
usagi: im waitng on my shares as we speak
BTC-Mining: such returns from a country such as North Korea
BTC-Mining: mircea: sounds as dodgy as Pirate
mircea_popescu: as in, ppl put money in 5 minutes before interest time
mircea_popescu: because those are my goals. it can be as ugly as roadkill, it's not even meant to be seen by the joe schmoe user.
BTC-Mining: I meant basic eye candy such as a very light CSS sheet.
BTC-Mining: Aye, I suppose. But GLBSE works on 0.5% fees alone and those fees are fine as is, I find.
patrickharnett: as seen from my failed attemt to use a "seen" command
markedathome: what about grabbing the last dividend amount for those shares (i know some haven't paid) eg. PUREMINING has, as has MERGEDMINING
kakobrekla: foreach ($rows as $row){
