nubbins`: so in this example, we have a retard buying 4000 shares
nubbins`: which is now trading for 2x ipo
nubbins`: i'd consider that a case of facilitating retards giving money to other retards
ThickAsThieves: since some of these issuers are indeed retards getting money
nubbins`: i give money to retards indirectly via taxes
ThickAsThieves: that makes these gem IPOs an offense
mircea_popescu: you may trade with a retard, you may not give him money.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves giving. not trading.
nubbins`: because later, the retards buy back the things they pawned
nubbins`: i think so
ThickAsThieves: are pawn shops exempt from the giving money to retards rules?
nubbins`: but i can't think of any
nubbins`: i'm sure there are plenty of legit reasons why this is a bad approach: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291904.0
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yeah we defo need more of those, splendor.
ThickAsThieves: get all the down and out people learning bitcoin
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: ooh, true enough
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you just can't see them, cause you're not addicted enough.
ozbot: The Golden Turd - American Dad Wiki - Roger, Steve, Stan
mircea_popescu: nubbins` which they take to the pawnshop first.
mircea_popescu: dumbravita is the diminutive of dumbrava, which means glade.
nubbins`: coulda been gold. lot of addicts around here, and they like breaking into houses and stealing things
ThickAsThieves: dumbravata, does that mean brave idiot?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` wasn't gold. oldest scam in the book is guy "finds" some gold item together with you
nubbins`: so i said "my wife's a cop, she might want it" and the lady ran away ;(
mircea_popescu: you can always use that.
nubbins`: when i answered, she held out her hand, with a gold necklace in it, and asked if i wanted to buy it
ThickAsThieves: i thought this was heaven?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you got a P.O. box, we want to send you cookies as bribes.
mircea_popescu: all the other trims, like 40 virgins, nirvana etc.
mircea_popescu: you still go to heaven, plus
mircea_popescu: but you never ever under any circumstances give money to retards
mircea_popescu: if you do everything else including raping your infant mother and killing random people a la johnny the homicidal maniac,
mircea_popescu: nope, it's the only sin. as retards should never havem oney.
nubbins`: e.g.: welfare cheques + video lottery terminals
nubbins`: giving money to retards is OK as long as you have a plan for getting it back
mircea_popescu: it's always the fault of whoever gives money to retards.
mircea_popescu: i think he's the first idiot that gave money to these retards with their advice to be cool.
nubbins`: and the closed caption video screen says "(or vagina)"
nubbins`: dance music blasting "the words 'micro' and 'soft' don't apply to my penis"
nubbins`: that conference thing reminded me of that MS conference in europe
mircea_popescu: manual writers in the decades to come will find it useful.
mircea_popescu: this sort of retarded flailing should be in the record.
nubbins`: there's a lovely hiking trail here that passes right next to the dump. little teeny tiny bits of plastic everywhere throughout the forest
ozbot: [BitFunder] IceDrill.ASIC IPO (500 Thash Mining Operation powered by HashFast)
ThickAsThieves: our control. A better way to have gone about it would have been to announce/advertise potential discounts publically based on a schedule/key (as Jutarul mentions in the ASICMINER example) in the IPO contract itself."
ThickAsThieves: "After reading up more about block trades I feel I must concur with the sentiment that we went about doing these block trades incorrectly. During an IPO there is no "tape" as of yet (like when the shares start to float post-IPO). I took the "arranged price" as stated above to mean that it was permitted for us to negotiate a price based on the block size and timing constraints beyond
mircea_popescu: and then acting as if the dump is the city and going back to hayseed, ok and saying ny smells bad.
mircea_popescu: it's like going to the dump and complaining it stinks.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` everyone. that's what conferences are.
mircea_popescu: just saying "social inclusion" is enough to make my hair stand on end ffs.
nubbins`: everything else aside, what a masturbatory waste of time. who goes to a conference to see some drooling fuck-up make puns about tits?
mircea_popescu: 7yo behaviour, from that one obnoxious kid everyone slapped over the eyes.
nubbins`: from the article: "With two 60 second presentations of tits and jerking off..."
mircea_popescu: fucktards that can't win at whatever game want to change the rules.
mircea_popescu: i fucking hate the entire topic by now with a passion
mircea_popescu: i don't happen to care.
jurov: lol you know this was the original definitin of "social inclusion" ?
mircea_popescu: it does not mean people quit, it means THEY expand.
mircea_popescu: women want to be equal with men it means THEY LEARN TO ENJOY TITS.
mircea_popescu: @Amy Gray STFU and start enjoying staring at tits.
ozbot: 'Titstare' app at Techcrunch: women in tech deserve better | Amy Gray | Comment is free | theguard
nubbins`: ClivePalmer: this may imply that i'm stupid for continually being surprised
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yup, was my motto for justdice, "perfect for the forum investor"
ClivePalmer: just look at the last 10,000 years of human history
nubbins`: ClivePalmer: i keep thinking people can't get stupider, and i keep getting surprised
thestringpuller: since that's what the average bitcoin investor does anyways
thestringpuller: greedy dumb people should just open up a dice site, select their odds, and click the button
nubbins`: like, what was it, cryptx? that was promising to pay dividends up to the point where you got your IPO share price back
mircea_popescu: people are trained to despise humanity, so what you expect.
nubbins`: it's actually surprising how greed can blind people to obvious scams
mircea_popescu: even so, it's not much breath of life he's giving them.
mircea_popescu: now, if idiots like burnside didn't provide very convenient administrative barrier to entry by only supporting SOME scammers
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the point : the problem with scams is that they have no barrier to entry. consequently whenever they become open people run them into the ground.
thestringpuller: TL;DR scammers retreated in the dark recesses, continue on.
mircea_popescu: so that's all cya.
mircea_popescu: well his lawyer told him he'll get sued in dollars if at all.
mircea_popescu: the bfls rig thing ?
mircea_popescu: more ellaborate, more complex, more credible, more distant in time end.
mircea_popescu: same thing that happened to the tawsix dood, in the end.
mircea_popescu: they're doing a few th from what i hear.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller he took whatever was left and made his own farm
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: do you know what happened to giga? He seemed to vanish.
kakobrekla: fzb was also there
ClivePalmer: ahh true
kakobrekla: isnt erik involved in there?
ClivePalmer: who was the bitcoin.oz dood?
mircea_popescu: now it's true everyone's scamming on the asic production/farm
mircea_popescu: scamming on specified shit (giga's friends wit hthe pmbs, these doods with pirate)
mircea_popescu: note that glbse wasn't open to the public scamming. glbse was a group of people, the bitcoin.oz dood, goat, the "bankers", kludge, harnett etc
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla im curious what they'll mutate the shit into next.
ClivePalmer: well yeah, people got tired of pumping alt coins
mircea_popescu: nubbins` plus the warm cuddly feeling of having deprived the initiating scammers of some of their potential gains.
kakobrekla: sad this turned into micro stocks pump and dumps
mircea_popescu: if neone feels like reading old tomes.
nubbins`: scoop up shares, sell em for 100% return, watch them slowly sink into oblivion
ThickAsThieves: dont they intend to release more shares?
ThickAsThieves: Don't all male groups prefer full view of the canal?
mircea_popescu: they're the sluts of animal kingdom basically, and i suspect gangbangs in humans might well be a learned behaviour
nubbins`: now the goat looks like he knows what he's doing
ThickAsThieves: found this while hotel searching
