mircea_popescu: The strata of
the earth preserve in rows
the creatures which lived in former ages; and
the array of books on
the shelves of a library stores up in like manner
the errors of
the past and
the way in which
they have been exposed. Like
those creatures,
they
too were full of life in
their
time, and made a great deal of noise; but now
they are stiff and fossilized, and an object of curiosity
to
the literary palaeontologist a
nubbins`: he bought a bunch of
t-shirts from me, no problems here ;p
ThickAsThieves: but he retreated
to consistent
trolling and annoyingness in recent mos
ThickAsThieves: being newer, i can say he isnt so bad when he
tries
to hold a normal conversation or pump somehting,
mircea_popescu: it's one of
those narcisiac cases where a lot of shit gets made up and mixed up into
the message.
mircea_popescu: back a year ago he was supposedly running a mining operation for about a year during which
time he never found a moment
to document it,
mircea_popescu: in practice it's a good idea
to
take what
the goat says at about half mast.
benkay: he was on some grand bitlol
tour recently
benkay: he does visit
the US,
TAT.
benkay: he could also be competent enough
to bypass
the filter.
benkay: he could find it unpleasant
to visit
the us in
the future
nubbins`: i'd be surprised if any given security was more
than 60% real volume
benkay: that did give me
the idea,
though.
mircea_popescu: lol i guess you could read it
that way if you wanted
to.
benkay: what are
the odds
that goat gets named in
the pirate case?
nubbins`: it reads like
the volume is being faked on mpex
mircea_popescu: why do you
think activeminer exists in
the first place ?
nubbins`: she's saying
that some scammers are faking
the volume on OTHER exchanges?
nubbins`: oh, wait, i misunderstood
the original statement
mircea_popescu: the "random user" got
to pretend like "everyone's investing in pirate" as a sell point.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` glbse worked with goat and "the bankers"
to fake volumes.
mircea_popescu: secure
they can't be. run by experts
they are not. what is left ?
mircea_popescu: how would you expect
three websites posing as exchanges
to differentiate ?
mircea_popescu: that you
then can claim
that your broken insecure piee of crud is "betteR"
than any other random broken insecure piece of crud
nubbins`: that would be a reason for YOU
to fake volume, not some random user
benkay: very interested in any hints of
that
nubbins`: i need
to
take a shit, but maybe while i'm gone, someone can explain what is
to be gained by faking volume on an exchange
nubbins`: "Historically most BTC securities
trade happened on MPEx. Some scammers are faking
the volumes currently, making
that measure not particularly useful, but nevertheless…"
nubbins`: "In addition we produced 45 half-BTC coins with
the series-2 sticker which were not numbered into
these rolls.
These were available
to
those who made initial orders,
though are no longer available for sale."
nubbins`: behold,
the most rare of all casascius coins:
jcpham|twrk: and
the 2011's without
the misprint are rare
too
jcpham|twrk: i've been
trying
to complete a cas 2011 set
nubbins`: only problem is
that i want
to
touch
them with my bare hands, but can't ;|
nubbins`: i'm still glad i bought a roll of
those rare 0.5oz casascius silvers
nubbins`: makes a nice "ding" when you
toss it with your
thumb
jcpham|twrk: nubbins`
that's one of
the recalescene coins
ThickAsThieves: right, people can skim .0001 btc per day on
their own
time
nubbins`: no fee means you'd spend all your
time xferring shares
ThickAsThieves: people will of course complain about
the missing ones regardless
ThickAsThieves: nubbins,
the 1btc might make sense if you were buying ebough
ozbot: Are
the NIST Standard Elliptic Curves Back-doored? - Slashdot
ThickAsThieves: I
think
the div will result in another week of
the same
nubbins`: i'd probably exchange some xbond for neobee if i didn't have
to pay 1 btc
to do so
nubbins`: i
think he cuts himself in private
nubbins`: if you give him a microphone, he may beat it against a
table
mircea_popescu: someone should invite rms,
then feed him parrot stu for breakfast
mircea_popescu: Sep 16 01:12:28 <mircea_popescu>Diablo-D3 because by now not
that many people can be bothered
to invite him anywhere.
nubbins`: wow, he's freaking in
that video
nubbins`: you get it. Meeting
that sad animal is not an agreeable surprise."
nubbins`: "DON'T buy a parrot figuring
that it will be a fun surprise for me.
To acquire a parrot is a major decision: it is likely
to outlive you. If you don't know how
to
treat
the parrot, it could be emotionally scarred and spend many decades feeling frightened and unhappy. If you buy a captured wild parrot, you will promote a cruel and devastating practice, and
the parrot will be emotionally scarred befo
nubbins`: "If you can find a host for me
that has a friendly parrot, I will be very very glad. If you can find someone who has a friendly parrot I can visit with,
that will be nice
too."
nubbins`: jcpham|twrk: what's
that coin in
the middle?
nubbins`: that's inconvenient for everyone. i
think we've got a winner
nubbins`: people make
time for
things
they want
ThickAsThieves: however, neobee will likely appeal a bit more
to euros
nubbins`: yes, figure out your
target market, and IPO when
they should all be in bed
jurov: yes
ThickAsThieves, i do have *you* in mind when sellin idiffs :D
nubbins`: i'm sure
there are at least SOME people in your
timezone
ThickAsThieves: lol, so make sure its
the worst possible
time for everyone but me?
nubbins`: people make mistakes when
they're
tired
nubbins`: it's your IPO, pick a
time
that suits you
ozbot: imgur:
the simple image sharer
jurov: and if
they are really worth only 100, don't worry about
the retards
timezone
jurov: well, why not? if
they are really worth 500btc but undersell for 100..
then you can't have best
time
nubbins`: all shareholders get
to watch me eat it
ThickAsThieves: and
things
that are worth only 500btc should not be doing an "IPO"
jurov: ThickAsThieves no,
the price should be chosen so
that it won't get flipped in 10 minutes
nubbins`: mircea_popescu:
the ipo will be held on september 13th at baboon o'clock
chaang-noi: kako im just glad its not down cuz a us raid or something,
they are picking up a lot of
the gox volume
nubbins`: ThickAsThieves:
that's a reasonable compromise
ThickAsThieves: as i see it,
the
time should be chosen by whom
the highest volume audience is, and
their most likely availability
mircea_popescu: fact : 50% of people on skype are naked from
the waist down.
nubbins`: jurov: in
that case, someone's going
to be on Skype wearing
their pyjamas
jurov: nubbins: which noon? what if
the meeting has someone from America, Europe and Asia?
nubbins`: noon is nice, if for no other reason
than
the fact
that it has its own word
