ThickAsThieves: i'm skeptical
that if Burnside has all
the lawyers he just reported he has,
that he's actively scamming
pankkake: I
tend
to
think burnside is just
to naive
mircea_popescu: stay
tuned for
the mysterious mysteries of
the bitcoin's scam exchange!!1
mircea_popescu: or are
there still more shares held by
third parties about
to get sold ?
mircea_popescu: soo, did every outside holder sell already and is it now just burnside
trading with
thescamede ?
pankkake: I guess
the A(ct)M
thing really does work
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves does he mean
the
time deadterra was in vacation or what.
mircea_popescu: questions should reward incompetence because
that's how school works!
ThickAsThieves: "I've heard about some irregularities with DeaDTerra's
transfer of Activemining shares
to Ukyo, and I was wondering if you are still processing
transfers of Activemining.PT shares
to Havelock right now"
mircea_popescu: yes but people also avoid questions where
they lose something when wrong
pankkake: people respond more honestly
to questions if
they lose something when wrong
pankkake: I'm
trying
to find a study on
that, but can't
pankkake: but when bets are involved,
things are going
to be different, I guess
mircea_popescu: and
the yes are going
to be absent because of "who runs it" lawl.
pankkake: they're all in
the forums very active
pankkake: well
the No's are going
to be numerous
pankkake: "you won't see another bet from me on
that website as I just found out who runs it"
pankkake: I met a sport gambler who
told me he was making a lot of money betting against
teams with a lot of fans
pankkake: I don't really care about
the winnings (unless
the sums are huge maybe)
pankkake: for example if I bet my favorite sports
team wins because I'm pretty sure
they will
pankkake: and
there's
the "happiness" factor. I don't really want
to bet if
the outcome makes me happy but I'm not sure enough
pankkake: and I announced only in a
thread he was following
pankkake: he said he was going
to add 0.5
pankkake: the fun
thing is
that I initially worded
the bet
the other way around

tobacco?

the "just look and you'll see"
thing.
ozbot: ActiveMining Overview and Speculation
Thread
mircea_popescu: the original
testnet was a pr exercise on satoshi's part, whether he realised it or not.
pankkake: why not create a private
testnet? actually I don't understand why
there has
to be a
testnet, and not multiple privatenets
mircea_popescu: someone mining a lot on
testnet would have actually caused some measurable delays
mircea_popescu: well wait until someone's
trying
to
test anything
to do with mining and zip him lol
pankkake: "If you
try
to drain
the Faucet dry, you won't be doing anyone a favour and you will only piss off
the core developers. If you
try
to sell
the coins,
the devs will just reset
the
TestNet and you will lose everything."
pankkake: I wonder if
testnet bitcoins will be worth something one day
ThickAsThieves: $15 is a decent price
to use
them as gifts/learning

the fastest/biggest/powerfulest car

the
Thermaltake power supply

the originals

their offices

to ask on
the forum, I am considered a
troll enough
pankkake: dexX7: I have been
trying
to find
the pictures again, no luck
dexX7: haha yea,
that's one of
them
dexX7: by
the way, do you still have
the creepy slaughter pictures? it was like "now
that vbs is gone .... *post*"
pankkake: "That'd be
the first
time someone is burned by betting against a Bitcoin miner delivery." well…
benkay: don't mention model names,
ThickAsThieves
pankkake: I wish
there was a calculator for
the lazies like me
pankkake: that eBay bet was
too short, no one is going
to bet Yes
pankkake: well, making
that bet was some work!
mircea_popescu: pankkake so basically as it stands right now you win on
that bet no matter what lol
khalunis: one where it said
they'll send out chips
pankkake: the first bet is all me
though, I paid for it
mircea_popescu: pankkake yes. when a bet is accepted
the site splits 0.1 btc or more on yes/no

to 1BASZ
too (which is me)

the basis of look what reddit said.
benkay: consequences will never be
the same, mircea_popescu.

the surgeon general's warning on
that poster
sir_faggot: what do you mean by "you can always backtrace
the internet"?

the f bomb "fuck you and your ugly mother in
the same stroke" ?
