mircea_popescu: lot of tragedy behind closed doors with that one.
mircea_popescu: roger ver wasn't even the largest thing crushed by pirate. he was just the loudest/more exhibitionistic.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: My worry is that as bitcoin appreciates against other currencies it keeps staying throngs of kids who will be replace by other throngs of kids.Roger Ver crushed by pirate was big. I worry that BTC-TC will die too quietly.
mircea_popescu: today it looks like a throng of kids who just had their dreams of one day being president crushed.
mircea_popescu: back then it was big holders plucking their hair out in disbelief, quite differently flavored

mircea_popescu: bitcointalk seems so... hurt these days.
BingoBoingo: What did me in was the thread that seems dead at this polite message: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=295216.msg3198725#msg3198725 Dude was too much of a scammer to even try to talk shit back
mircea_popescu: that's by now two, jborkl also runs one

mircea_popescu: wait is that diablo's thing rehashed or unrelated ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don't think that has as much potential for AMAZING COMPANY Memes as that SolarWIndMIning Company that materialized late last week.

mircea_popescu: lol goons talking to themselves on selfmod thread.
ozbot: The BFL timeline: a collaborative schadenfreude project
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: pretty much. I especially like the idiots who interpret that as invest in Just-Dice instead of gamble on Just-Dice and get burned because they can't remember they read a whole paragraph (pr maybe they tried and forgot?).
mircea_popescu: 3JTAAADX2 and forumers got all butthurt when pr told them to go play there instead of "investing"
mircea_popescu: i mean... kid goes to chew power cables. you go don't chew power cables. it goes "well i had a lot of respect for you before but now that you tell me to not chew power cables i don't have any more respect for you". gets killed, and then it's a case of "we (who ?!) were killing you in all respects that matter. by being dead."
BingoBoingo: Well of the two risky yet potentially scammy low profit BTC niches, Burnside chose a securities exchange that didn't even take half measures pretending safety.
3JTAAADX2: just-dice -5,118 in the hole
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I keep forgetting you have in the plural for some reason. It would take a lot of wikidorks to match the raw fecal encephalitits of the recent Burnside posts though.
mircea_popescu: it's sad people don't realise how much comedic relief they provide.
mircea_popescu: lmao so some dork on the forum named himself "question authority" and has a link to the grouptink article ON WIKIPEDIA in his signature

mircea_popescu: a transcript of glbse shareholder meeting at the time survives.
ozbot: The stockexchange shareholders on welfare pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: for compare and contrast reasons, burnside did the exact same thing sprind 2013, closed autumn 2013. not quite as suddenly.
mircea_popescu: detailed, no. in summary, its something like this : early spring 2012, nefario allowed a bunch of scammers (goat, the "bankers") to run dubious pirate "pass throughs" pseudoinvestments that soon enough dominated the exchange, doing like 90%+ of all trade, and also made its volume almost comparable to mpex at the time.
dexX7: mircea_popescu: is there any detailed report about the glbse closure you might point me to?
gribble: mod6 was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 days, 2 hours, 43 minutes, and 12 seconds ago: <mod6> this is for the gzip

truffles: exciting then
dexX7: in that sense: good job!
dexX7: mircea_popescu: you mentioned gpg contracts.. only a few days ago i realized how cool mpex really is or to be more specific i realized the beautiy of the "mechanism" you use to transmit orders
mircea_popescu: BigBitz burnside is some dork that was running a ltc exchange, then when glbse popped he figured "o noes, i have all the needed expertise to re-do the thing".
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: he edited most details out of the contract a while ago << http://trilema.com/2012/gpg-contracts/ i say!
mircea_popescu: anyone rememvber the bitcoinica "valuable" source code and the bitfinex muppets ?
mircea_popescu: pankkake: those should go to zero… unless maybe there's a sale of the source code <<< ahh how this brings memories.
mircea_popescu: key tool.
kakobrekla: really, you use that thing... ok ok carry on
mircea_popescu: cause im slowly going through logs.
kakobrekla: uh how did this came up _now_ ?
