turbo_ac100: mircea_popescu, so it's diffchange 20%, next diffchange will have
to be 20%*1.2=24% and so on, right?
fractal: ICBIT.se is legitimate and been up for 2 years, works great... and
they're doing a lot of volume
these days.... you'll eventually be surpassed unless you drop signup fees
jurov: fractal:
there's a broker, you are kicking into open doors
mircea_popescu: for all your
talk of doing w/e on random bucket shops.
mircea_popescu: you are aware
that
the only people actually
trading
the exchange rate
traded it
there, yest.
fractal: jurov: MPEX? you mean
that useless site with ZERO volume because MP refuses
to let new users join without paying 40BTC??? idiotic.
jurov: fractal: you can buy
the same calls on mpex
turbo_ac100: "the last" doesn't refer
to
the last increase, i.e. 20% -> 24 % and so on but rather "the last" difficulty as in ;;diffchange will be > 20%
fractal: and i have
to wait 10 weeks.... i'm better off buying futures at ICBIT.se instead of making
that gamble at BitBet!!
zoinky: kakobrekla, i did a search for mtgox on
the page and all i see is for another bet
fractal: i'm getting on
that shit right now. free BTC.
fractal: kako: wow.

zoinky: which exchange is
that bet for
ozbot: BitBet - Bitcoin price
to rise above $200 before
the end of 2013
kakobrekla: well
there isnt one of 250 but you have a 200 bet
zoinky: yeah
the people in
this channel are always saying SR is all bitcoin's value...
fractal: all
the idiots saying
that bitcoin only has value because of SR --- i've been saying its not
true for 2 years... now i am vindicated. i will be proven right again as we hit $250
this year once more
mircea_popescu: fractal i don't have a choice, im passive in
the matter.
fractal: wheres
the BBET bet? i'll put down 100 BTC now...
fractal: its guaranteed -- SR is out of
the picture now -- china volume just overtook all USD volume.... massive buying coming in
fractal: selling calls? you will get CRUSHED.... we're heading
to $250 by dec

mircea_popescu: actually

kakobrekla: so,
the most read article of all
trilema is
trilema premium?
ozbot: NSFW Gradina Edenului pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
dub: fwiw I have been before
the courts as more
than defendant :)
chsados: are
the bitches in romania sexy?
mircea_popescu: and since
that particular crew is petrified of crazy mp.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i ended up getting a court order so extensive
they ended up having
to a) issue me a special made document, as in, without expiration date and b) modify
their regulations.
mircea_popescu: i never had
trouble importing ass.
that's easy
to explain.
dub: I was
thinking more 'Yes
that is a fantastic ass, we have nothing of
that calibre locally, work visa granted'
mircea_popescu: computers, pizza ovens,
trucks, what's
the big difference.
mircea_popescu: well
their idea is something like... oh computer programming ? sure, we got
this guy, he
took a six months java course.
mircea_popescu: yeah, something like, "I want
to hire X guy, give him a work permit". "we won't, because X guy could be replaced by local labor" "stfu"
mircea_popescu: most notably we had a dispute as
to whether a foreign worker's qualifications are
to be evaluated by its employer or
the bureaucrats.
dexX7: now
that
this is out - for what did you sue
them?
dub: yeah well
theres governments and
theres governments
mircea_popescu: dub you know, i'm probably
the only one here with actual experience at successfully suing governments. what's easy is
to elevate one's not particularly relevant experience
to some sort of end-all story of
the world.
dub: good luck for
then you actually need
to
test it
dub: I suppose its easy
to be optimistic
jurov: ^let
this be put into public record.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the courts look a lot different if you regard
them from
the priviledged end
than from
the business end.
dub: there has been no such
thing for quite some
time now
dub: magical kingdoms where
the libertarian ideal is upheld
dub: sorry but you're
the one
talking in fairy
tales
mircea_popescu: there's never going
to be security
that "actually works" in
the sense of bringing you santa back.
dub: sadly one of
the security paradigms nobody seems
to understand is
that it must actually work
dub: fortunately for
the idiots a large percentage of people !mircea_popescu have low
tolerance for
the stick
they wield
dub: rather
than expose my secrets for
the fear of incarceration I'll just remain incarcerated, makes perfect sense
mircea_popescu: what are
they gonna do, punish you by paying for your
three meals a day ?
dub: the difference isthe size of
their stick
mircea_popescu: i get
tons of emails requiring all sorta crap all day long.
mircea_popescu: generally speaking, people can require anythning
they feel like.
the internet is full of derps requiring shit.
dub: let alone
the willingness
to rendite or simply drone strike in any corner of
the planet
dub: fyi, you don't need
to even enter
the US legally (transit)
to be required by
them
to unlock and decrypt anything you are carrying
dub: ok so
the
thing
that only applies
to people who have already given up any freedom or right
to privacy
mircea_popescu: dub : <dub> praps we should all move
to romania <mircea_popescu> you certainly should all move out of
the us, if
there's no more 5th.
mircea_popescu: in other news, i am currently eating
taliban cookies, i wish it entered into
the permanent record.
dub: I know what it is, its a completely retarded law
that only america has
mircea_popescu: that'd be a sight, criminal contempt ordered in a criminal proceeding against
the defendant who pleaded
the 5th.
jurov: i wish i could share mircea's ideas about actual lawfulness of
the law enformcement around here
dub: its
the old $5 spanner deal
though
dub: in most places
that exist, afaik a judge can require something be opened for inspection
mircea_popescu: you certainly should all move out of
the us, if
there's no more 5th.
dub: praps we should all move
to romania
dub: wait wat countries can you refuse
to decryopt something?
mircea_popescu: there's a reason people engaged in fencing stand sideways. and
they all do it, because even if awkawrd and lulzy a stance, it is more secure.
mircea_popescu: security is, in
the end,
the job of minimizing exposure.
mircea_popescu: also, whole disk vs file
that was being processed. also very different payoffs.
jurov: i admit
that. but doesn't look very different
to me
mircea_popescu: again different windows. "computer being on" vs "that second right after he's
typed a pw"
jurov: and if
the adversary can
time
their attack precisely,
they can as well
tranquilize you right after you
typed gpg passphrase
jurov: now, who is going
to keep airgapped machine always on?
jurov: oh and
the real reason why i don't get
the issue with fde, is
that you imply attackers have access
to memory and
that implies
the machine was on or was shut down just minutes ago
Namworld: Ok jurov, I guess I'll offer either buyback at 110% MPEx ask price or
transfer
to coinbr. I'll PM you.
mircea_popescu: re-reading
the
thing i gotta give it
to dub... he kinda has good points.
jurov: Namworld: but if you keep
that up for very last moment like you did
things after mpex delisting,
then i may be hard
to speak
to
Namworld: Only
thing I might keep alive is BTC-BOND, manually. Buyback every small holders, only keep large ones.
