mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so if i buy X seats i could take your asset offline ?
ThickAsThieves: perpetual voiting makes no sense to me

ThickAsThieves: i assume you mean that volcanic erupter guy
Urushiol: every time I see "VE" I think Value Engineering
kleeck: I think the other side of it was the Gerald seems to be involved.
Urushiol: this is why I keep you guys around - to keep me in check.
Rulother: Ken should of sent someone to talk to VE instead
ThickAsThieves: VE is a turd through and through
mircea_popescu: i wonder if any troll registered asicminer yet on the forum
kleeck: I agree about ignoring trolls, but VE represents a large holding in ActM. I'm not saying he should have interjected, but I can understand the move a bit.
Urushiol: for some reason I thought he was part of it.
mircea_popescu: Urushiol i thought dead terra ran icething ?
ThickAsThieves: it's DT's thing
Urushiol: passion is one thing. trash talking other securities in their own threads another.
Urushiol: I actually sold my icedrill shares because of the antics of icebreaker (or whatever that guy's name is). just didn't like the unprofessionalism.
Rulother: It would of been more professional that way
Urushiol: the right course of action would have been to just leave the trolls alone. "don't feed the trolls"
kleeck: I thought the intention was to stop VE from spreading information that he shouldn't have (and may not actually have...)
Rulother: I'm just thinking he shouldn't worry about having to go into other forums, and nothing besides a hint of news on monday
Rulother: There's that and him going about the process of how information will come forth
kleeck: Did he post more? I thought he just scolded VE for claiming things he shouldn't.
Rulother: So Ken from ActMining started posting in the labcoin forum to defend Actmining lol
mircea_popescu: gotta keep the offensive structured.
kakobrekla: depends if coffee or tea
mircea_popescu: honey is more women to men i think.
mircea_popescu: i think sugar is universally more dismissive than baby

mircea_popescu: i'd have went with "sugar" rather than "baby"
kleeck: I'm also the SysAdmin.
kakobrekla: thow you panties on the stage now
mircea_popescu: in 2014, once the bitcoin foundation approves the new bfl protocol.
kakobrekla: thank you thank you
mircea_popescu: Rulother they will.
Rulother: They should just start up another asic company, different name and all. Would have better luck that way
mircea_popescu: ok kakobrekla that's win.
kleeck: To reflect that.
kleeck: And they won't update the site.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=inaba | "inaba" someone who doesn't have a clue about what s/he is talking about, coming from 'inable', 'inability' use their brains before doing something...
ThickAsThieves: I saw a forum conv somewhere where inaba is basically telling everyone monarch is already delayed

Rulother: I bet some ipo starts up with the intentions of a group buy
kleeck: Oh, I'm sure they're "pre ordering" it. I'm speaking more to all of the PSAs
Rulother: When I first read, I was semi excited about it then my brain told me it's bfl you dumbfuck.
Rulother: Are people actually buying the new card?
kleeck: FFS. Do people really need to be told not to buy from BFL?
Rulother: I can't argue with that logic
Rulother: I'm kind of a penny pincher at the same time
Rulother: Yeah I know it not exactly a bad thing in the end
mircea_popescu: i could think of alternative uses more wasteful.
Rulother: I actually paid for it, but didn't realize HexChat was the same thing but for free.
Rulother: Laziness caught the best of me
ThickAsThieves: what's legit is people are selling more AM than they were a week ago
VanCleef: so still a boardmember tat?
mircea_popescu: you can change your name for the cost of a sworn affidavit.
mircea_popescu: you need to forget about the entire thieves thing.
VanCleef: ahh yeh, i hate that part
ThickAsThieves: and whether to keep it, bacronym it, or what
ThickAsThieves: the task at hand is the name
ThickAsThieves: all kinds of new exciting things for TATI
ThickAsThieves: had a very productive time in NYC, now i get have a few frantic days of catch-up
VanCleef: what up tat
mircea_popescu: not like ignorance should defer to experience or anything. kleeck called it!
mircea_popescu: but hey, teh ppl know better.
mircea_popescu: and the sort of problem it will cause.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if you recall, i explained when they introduiced it why it's a bad idea.
mircea_popescu: neither of these are likely. neither of these is impossible.
mircea_popescu: you can guess there's probably more than 1-2k btc wanting asicminer today. what if it flash dropped 90% ?
ThickAsThieves: and other factors exacerbate that
mircea_popescu: also, to be always remembered, liquidity is a fickle beast. it appears solid when not needed. take the more obvious case of a casino : if a dice site is making btc, it has investors. what if it's 50k btc under on 100k btc total played ?
mircea_popescu: trying to provide some semblance of balance.
mircea_popescu: it is extreme, but about equidistantly from the center extreme as the rest of the crap
ThickAsThieves: i think that's extreme
mircea_popescu: how much of that pot each gets depends basically on when they sell.
mircea_popescu: that's the pot of liquidity.
mircea_popescu: what we found out yesterday is that those 170k or shares held by various people have about 1-2k btc TOTAL to split among themselves.
kleeck: I agree, ThickAsThieves. It was a shitty play.
ThickAsThieves: but taht's his problem
mircea_popescu: plenty of people have plenty to sell, to the tune of about 170k or so.
ThickAsThieves: i think his methods were idiotic
ThickAsThieves: consider that when digesting his comments
ThickAsThieves: this guy selling 1000 shares, really sold shares, and really has more to sell
mircea_popescu: remember the 98% rule.
ThickAsThieves: reading the main thread gets hard at times
mircea_popescu: but i guess by 5 to 105
mircea_popescu: the two aren't really that distinct.
ThickAsThieves: whether they sell hardware or farm themselves
ThickAsThieves: all mining ops have to face an ever-increasing diff
