to build
trust and participate. keep a well managed blog.
mircea_popescu: not
that it likely would as it's about
the
third
time
they did
that sort of shit by now, but it's good
to have anyway.
mircea_popescu: there's a value in curating information.
that snippet you just put up is a step in
the right direction, i'd for instance quote it if a new "tux is a liar" discussion comes up
jurov: i suggest ipoing preorders
to
the winkelvoss fund

to keep
the shares at 10/Mhash (equivalent starting mining power for comparison) each and we would
then subsequently reduce
the amount of privately held shares
to pay for
the bulk purchases and price changes with Hashfast."
ThickAsThieves: DeadTerra, re: IceDrill "Lastly, with
the new deal with Hashfast
the new maximum amount of shares within
the structure is 36.3 million (363
Thash @ nominal clock speeds).
The aim is
to raise a
total of 35000 BTC. We would like
to sell a
total of 25.5 million shares while reducing
the private shares
to approximately 30% (down from 40%).
This ultimately means we increase
the percent
mircea_popescu: this bfl shit makes all
the scam accusations over

these people starting with

this bitcoin
thing"

the bitcoin isn’t ready for use in
the mass market yet,
that could change in five years, he said. “In 10 years, definitely.”
ThickAsThieves: “If I could buy
them at a low enough price, like $50,

too
tighty
to allow proofreading of court filings
dexX7: "since
the value of bitcoins is highly volatile, consumers pay a premium
to bitinstant for
the fast
transaction speed bitinstant purports
to provide. but bitinstant has repeatedly failed
to deliver on its promite, and consumers who have paid bitinstant's premium fees have had
their funds
tief up for hours, days or even weeks."
