mircea_popescu: in the sense that they were discussed here in the last however long, few hours
TomServo: In the sense they were both on forbes?
mircea_popescu: they sorta go together.

kleeck: It's ok <mircea_popescu>, I tracked with you. :P
mircea_popescu: ono. the gig ?!
mircea_popescu: there's the people doin bitcoin, there's the people hoping the usg might make them relvant in bitcoin. distinct lists.
TomServo: I missed the mention of the NY attorney
TomServo: mircea_popescu: You referring to the SR article?
kleeck: I agree though, TomServo, very interesting.
kleeck: He is like the Doctor - each new operator under the DPR flag has a different personality with the same task. I wouldn't be surprised if the DPR interviewed here isn't even running SR anymore.
TomServo: Interesting that he's decided to raise his profile - I think he's sending an interesting message, especially what you quoted kleeck
kleeck: 40M$ annual, that's a pretty big "meh". :)

mircea_popescu: a, no, the ny state attorney guy
kleeck: <mircea_popescu>: Who are you talking about? Andy Greenberg? DPR?
mircea_popescu: kleeck it's the second time the wayward ny idiot has ruined the usg's position in a year.
kleeck: “We can’t stay silent forever. We have an important message, and the time is ripe for the world to hear it. What we’re doing isn’t about scoring drugs or ‘sticking it to the man.’ It’s about standing up for our rights as human beings and refusing to submit when we’ve done no wrong.” - DPR

kakobrekla: they are trailing along
jurov: 115 on mtgox? not impressed. call me when bitstamp goes there
jurov: still... you need your private key to decrypt reply from mpex, too
mircea_popescu: this is true. you could sign 10k STATs, encrypt them with MPEx's keuy and publish them on an as-needed basis
jurov: or you arrange to prepare a bunch of encrypted/signed STATs from airgapped machine
mircea_popescu: yes. you write a snippet of perl/python that does that, signs it and pushes it ot its destination.
ThickAsThieves: Is there a way to setup a read-only GPG key, that can just get MPEX account balances and whatnot, without being able to execute trades or transfers?
mircea_popescu: jcpham i've been thinking that since ~2011.
mircea_popescu: yahoo is perhaps the worst brand name in the history of brand names
ThickAsThieves: looks too much like Yoohoo
jcpham: that chart really tells it
jcpham: any business with the word mining in it immediately is a failure to me
dexX7: didn't theswede say the other labcoin member will join the forum soon? ;)
dexX7: it's his opinion and that's okay, but i'm wondering what would happen, if someone really starts a manipulation campaign
