ThickAsThieves: when i was
there i was like oh, i
thought it
this was all much smaller
jurov: My experience is
that in slovakia (similarly sized marked like cyprus) such spaces are few and far between.
ThickAsThieves: the pictures do make
the office space look smaller
than it is
pankkake: otherwise
the
thing looks ok. actually, I don't really undertand why
they have
to communicate about oracle
pankkake: my experience is
that oracle sucks balls :p
mircea_popescu: jurov lol
they got one crampy conference room and some office space, give
teh people a break.
jurov: imho
these are suitable for established bank, not as a first
thing after
they got investment
ThickAsThieves: i guess
time will
tell, i have no way
to argue for or against
the frigality
jurov: i mean
the office space, furniture, oracle licenses, etc.
dexX7: is
there already an eta for
the exchange or is it more an idea?
jurov: whatever, i just want
to say whole setup looks
too excessive.
ThickAsThieves: they have a software consulting co
that is handling it all i
think, as a long
term partner
jurov: "Leon has a long-standing relationship with Danny Brewster,
trust has been established over many years." or from scrotch
jurov: no i understood it as
they creating new
team from scratch
mircea_popescu: maybe
they already have it for something else and are just freeriding
this on
that.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside
the horrible obamacare website fail which probably everyone heard of, check out say
this :
mircea_popescu: jurov oracle is pretty good if you run a large non it corp, because you can just call
them
to fix your shit. it's non
trivial
to keep on staff it people able
to handle large-ish server farms.
ThickAsThieves: haha, well
ThickAsThieves is just a handle for me personally
ThickAsThieves: Understood, contigency planning seems
to be most of my
time
these days...
dexX7: how many people are behind
ThickAsThieves?
mircea_popescu: just make sure people know about
the definitions so you have what
to fall back on in case.
ThickAsThieves: i know nothing of Oracle vs
this or
that. Honestly my personal impression of Oracle is negative
ThickAsThieves: I understand. We went
through several measures
to manage
that concern. Surely we could have done more, and we can never prevent outright failure of
the business, but we do have a contract with Neo directly
that defines our role as well.
jurov: ThickAsThieves: no hard feelings... aside for my personal oracle dba misadventure, i found it funny
to publish photos of swag like
there
mircea_popescu: well,
the fact remains most people
that managed
to ruin
their reputation
to date did so by agreeing
to front for some
third party new
to btc
that
then went
tits up.
jurov: in any case i doubt
they'll choose something other for exchange, having
the expertise in-house
mircea_popescu: it'd prolly be a good idea
to clearly specify
the relationship, preferably by a published contract. otherwise you'll have
trouble managing expectations down
the road.
mircea_popescu: you actually signing off on
them, if
they fail
to deliver whatever people get
to pursue you ?
jurov: what slander?
towards oracle? cuz i was a DBA.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you know, it's a little strange you're doing
their announcements for
them. you're starting like a pr practice or what is it ?
ThickAsThieves: <jurov> Oh my! Oracle powered exchange. <<< if you're referring
to Neo,
there is no Oracle-powered exchange or such. Oracle is for Neo and Bee's previously announced business services.
To my knowledge,
they are merely exploring
the idea of doing
the stock exchange down
the road, and have no software plans in
that regard.
mircea_popescu: and
tux has a license from a kappa he once met on a river bank.
mircea_popescu: until
they show proof
to
these claims, btcjam is licensed on
the pacific ocean floor.
kakobrekla: >CoinX is licensed in more
than half of US states.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many of
the retarded vcs (defined as any vc who's not been
talking
to me, no matter what
their mommy
told
them about how smart
they are) realise
that
the new mo of
the start-up scamscene is, get a "seed round",
turn it
to bitcoin, walk away with
the wallet a year later.
mircea_popescu: so okay, burned
through
the funding, moved over
to bitcoin.

kakobrekla: i
think
theres a reason why over 50% of fx
trades is in europe
mircea_popescu: Megan is
the founder and CEO of a successful Internet security and networking company
that provides service
to a number of Fortune 1000 companies.
kakobrekla: CoinX and
the NYSE are so closely linked
that
the NYSE logo appears on some CoinX marketing.
kakobrekla: Operating out of Atlanta, Ga., CoinX is all about
turning conventional money into
the anonymous digital currency called Bitcoin, and Bitcoin into conventional money. It's also
the first
to actually
take financial compliance seriously.

mircea_popescu: i remember reading it yest or w/e. coupla pages of
the usual fare.
dexX7: well anyway. i don't find it, but it was on reddit. probably deleted by
the mods, because it was
true. :p
kakobrekla: you should say
tupac or something, for
the kids
mircea_popescu: so obliquely, "yeah, you'll never get rid of
the
theory X
thing is manufactured"
mircea_popescu: well
the
theory is
that elvis isn't really dead, just hiding, and
then hoffa (teamsters union) was dissapeared mysteriously
dexX7: i don't know
this reference
mircea_popescu: you can't be
too young
to have missed
those references ?!
dexX7: i'm looking for
the post, sec
dexX7: there is still
the
theory
that
the whole bust was manufactured
mircea_popescu: but hey, whatever. sucks being a govt agency, if you do shit like
this you're
too eager, if you don't you're dumb,
there's no way out.
mircea_popescu: dexX7 i'm aware. i just
thought it's marginally ridiculous
to be
that desperate
to impress bitcoin forum/reddit.
dexX7: if you
take a look at a phonepad and
type 324 it will include
the chars
to form FBI
mircea_popescu: dub yeah, i'd be speaking chinese and you lot wouldn't be on
the internet.
dub: I suspect if
they'd been
teachign empathy and inclusivety in 1852
the world would be a lot nicer place
mircea_popescu: dexX7 lmao someone in
the fbi seriously sat over a console coding up a way
to send bitcoins in 324 batches ?
mircea_popescu: no, seriously, it's perhaps
the best discussion of us academia i've read. ever.
mircea_popescu: "Americans don't want
to study hard
things.
That's for foreigners. Fluff courses like
these ethnic-studies
timewasters—that's what people want. Unless a university is 'anchored' by a big department
teaching real subjects—a medical or engineering school—the drift is all
that way."
dub: can't read it because its layed out like
the writer has sever ADHD
mircea_popescu: i can't do
that,
the neoreactionaries would hate me because i am helping
the jewish-african plot
to subvert white fecundity.
mircea_popescu: i don't know anyone
there i'd want
to partner with
tho.
jurov: and all dat swag...mircea, nobody will
take you seriously now. you absolutely must announce microsoft sql server or google partnership.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here you go : "The worst case scenario I
think would be having our European allies saying
they will no longer share signals intelligence because of a concern
that our SigInt is being derived from mechanisms
that violate
their privacy rules," said Ray Kimball, an army strategist with policy experience on European issues.
mircea_popescu: schooling would appear
to be more akin cooking
than dentistry.
jurov: that's homeschooling, don't need no filthy
teachers or doctors
mircea_popescu: jurov yeah,
those
two really look like
they can't afford
the dentist visit
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform NEVER AGAIN YOU HEAR!!! WHAT

dexX7: i'm not
the admin of coinflow
benkay: talking about
the link in
the "research" dropdown
dexX7: you mean in
the
thread? yeah.. i
think i should replace
the "this will be updated soon" announcement with
the actual update rather sooner
than later
benkay: you may want
to
take down
the link
to btctc dexX7
benkay: coinflow has all data -
thanks dexX7
