dexX7: what would you do if a buyer contacts you in 1-2 weeks and
tells you
that he had no clue?
nubbins`: ThickAsThieves:
the real money would be in coating steel slugs in gold leaf and calling
them "unfunded gold coins"
dexX7: i
think
this was intentional
nubbins`: dexX7: i ran out of
things
to say ;(
dexX7: "Good condition, was only recently redeemed." ... as if
the redemption date is linked
to
the condition :p
ThickAsThieves: you can go
to
the ghetto and sell
them as "stolen bitcoins"
nubbins`: even
though some of
them are only physical half-bitcoins!
dexX7: hmm.. casascius calls
them physical bitcoins,
too
nubbins`: 2013 0.5 btc brass casascius round
that has a bitcoin logo on it - REDEEMED
nubbins`: not sure how better
to describe it
tho
dexX7: though people
tried similar stuff earlier.. like selling "iphone box without iphone inside" and got burned
nubbins`: and i have, in fact, had a few people cancel
their bids
nubbins`: i
tried
to retard-proof it as best i could
dexX7: haha no, it's fine. as you said, you are filling
the demand.
nubbins`: a full one-third of
the
three-line description is in bright red
mike_c: you'll know what
they are
thinking by whether
they flame you on ebay
nubbins`: haven't sold any yet, i was only foolish enough
to peel
the holo off one
dexX7: are you
the seller?
nubbins`: i'm just
trying
to serve
the legitimate brass
token collector market
nubbins`: shrug,
there's only so much i can do
dexX7: well i rather
think
the buy just has no clue
nubbins`: gotta draw
the line somewhere, otherwise you end up having your description read "DO NOT heat
this coin with a blowtorch for a half hour and lay it on
the
tip of your penis" etc
nubbins`: dexX7: wasn't sure what else
to call
them, also, you'd need
to be full retard
to assume it contains value
nubbins`: and we're just underestimating
the demand for
them within
the general public
nubbins`: honestly, i
think it's people
that fully understand what
they're buying
nubbins`: and one
third of
the item description is in big red letters saying "NO HOLOGRAM, NO BITCOINS"
nubbins`: but i mean, i put REDEEMED in
the
title
chaang-noi: if i get some
time ill list
that stuff on ebay lol
nubbins`: at first i
thought it was just idiots not realizing
they were unfunded
nubbins`: and
they seem
to be selling on ebay for $140+, regardless of denomination
nubbins`: i can't imagine he paid more
than $10-20 per
nubbins`: good for
the guy who was buying redeemed coins hand-over-fist on
the forums a few months back
mike_c: the ceo spent 14 years as a lecturer. no
tenure for him!
mike_c: one of
them has a suit and
tie on. i'm sold.
kakobrekla: oh
that changes everything, headshots.
mike_c: havelock has strange meanings for a lot of
terms
mike_c: i can't figure out what
the F stands for
ThickAsThieves: cuz idiots may claim
they
thought it would be a real wall st IPO or such
mike_c: see,
the extra letter will protect you from
the authorities
kakobrekla: i dunno why you all feel
the need
to stick extra letters inthere
ThickAsThieves: would be nice
to have a gameplay vid or more cogent explanation of what it is
nubbins`: "when you get
tired of wasting money, console yourself with your huge in-game rep and 3d friends
nubbins`: i
thought
there already were seven continents, anyway?
nubbins`: certainly can't do so via
their "info" website :(
kakobrekla: •Users will have
the opportunity
to list
their real companies on Seventh Continent Market starting III.Q.2014.
ThickAsThieves: "Lawn also claims KnC customers already create 70% of
the bitcoins mined in a day. We can't verify
that claim."
ThickAsThieves: Hendry added equity market fundamentals do not matter at a
time when policy is misaligned, emphasising instead
the ‘feedback loops’ created by US quantitative easing.
ThickAsThieves: “This is
the environment where Bitcoin could go
to $1m.
There is no qualitative reason, but it is
trending. If I could own Bitcoin, I would. If I own 3D printing, it is just
the same
thing”
ThickAsThieves: "One of
them is
that consumers yield and submit, Bitcoin goes
to somewhere in
the
thousand dollars per range and
there’s a rush
to move society away from
the dysfunctional standard. Banks start
taking Bitcoin deposits, Bitcoin hedge funds pop up everywhere..."
mircea_popescu: teh ppl be figuring it out a year later, and after
the fact.
ThickAsThieves: "The increasing cost of relaying
transactions may end up making
the currency
too expensive
to manage outside of a small group of users. "
ThickAsThieves: "That feature has lead
to an inflationary bubble in bitcoin-to-dollar
trading, with prices fluctuating largely from one day
to
the next. As fewer bitcoins become available
through mining, new entrants in
the market may be limited, making it more difficult for
the currency
to increase its overall float."
mircea_popescu: this way actual researchers can still do
their work, and it remains accessible
to
those deemed "legitimate" of
the public,
mircea_popescu: TomServo i suppose if you're going
to censor,
this is actually
the correct approach : block specific searches, but index
the material.
ThickAsThieves: i debated writing it all up and doing a kickstarter, but i
truly wnat nothing
to do with running a search co
ThickAsThieves: i have a google killer idea i dont have
the means
to implement
mircea_popescu: i guess we don't quite fathom
the extent
to which google is manipulating results.
ozbot: The OCR lol of
today pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: Neither of
those search requests return any results for me.
dexX7: you want
to have a lot of fast accessible memory
pankkake: right now probably, given
that
the R9 generation doesn't look much more costly…
mircea_popescu: but i mean... wait,
they;re not being bought
to be used as gamingdevices ?
dexX7: i bought some gpus, but i somehow feel like a sucker, because now is probably
the best
time
to resell
that stuff.. maybe i'll even do likewise before it arrives. a 7950 on ebay is worth 250-300+ eur here :D
