Rulother__: I mean I
think
that's what
they're getting him with
BigBitz: has anyone had
their BTCGarden funds returned yet ?
topace: theymos soliciting for forum donations? or is
that a scam email?
jcpham: so is icedrill
the new buzzword
Hollywood: Well, Icedril changed
that (we have
to sell out)
to (we do not have
to sell all IPO)
Rulother__: Will we be able
to see
the buyback in progress on here, via assbot?
mircea_popescu: that's
the other
thing : now we get
to find out exactly how much of
the claimed 30k+ btc is actually in private hands.
bobbabad: to me it sounds like short
time
to convert
that amount of previously converted btc
to fiat back
to btc
mircea_popescu: i'll say
this much
tho, if
they've not paid by noon
thursday it's quite unlikely
they're ever paying.
pankkake: I would bet yes, hoping a lot of people are going
to do
the smart
thing and hedge
ozbot: [BTCT.CO] [IPO-cancelled] BTCGARDEN MINER---Eyes
to
the horizon
mircea_popescu: All of above will be finished in 24-48 hours from
the
time you see
this notice.
bobbabad: umm.. where did
they ever say 24hours?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the idea is, if someone has exposure and is worried can
take
the no side.
the honest opperator can make a little btc by covering
the yes side.
mircea_popescu: pankkake it was 24 hours
they said, about 12 hours ago
bobbabad: how does bitbet work? who releases
the money in
the bet once one side wins?
pankkake: well it's likely
they don't do
the buyback on
time
mircea_popescu: i figure it's useful if peoplewant
to hedge
their exposure over
this dubious interval.
topace: ignore
the 8x previous announcements :p
topace: okay
thats
the "actual" dividend
Diablo-D3: selling
the shares isnt legal
to begin with
Diablo-D3: well, I didnt read
their entire post but
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [XBOND] [PAID] 1.00931000 BTC
to 2`018`620 shares, 50 satoshi per share
Diablo-D3: I wonder if
they realized
they ran into
the same problem I did
Diablo-D3: so I wonder what btcgarden is up
to
Diablo-D3: [11:37:25] <Hollywood> yes, I am aware. Looking at what you stated I
thought you were speaking as if we were consuming
the sun
bobbabad: how long do you guys
think it will be until
the buyback of btcgarden is complete?
mircea_popescu: obviously
the sun going away would cause an explosion which'd
tear it off, but still
mircea_popescu: Hollywood i
think
technically
the atmosphere would stay in place
Hollywood: yes, I am aware. Looking at what you stated I
thought you were speaking as if we were consuming
the sun
Diablo-D3: it would expand into a red giant and
the new surface would be outside
the orbit of earth
Hollywood: Wait,
the sun is going
to be around another 5 billion years, without
the sun
there is no life at all.
There would also be no wind or atmosphere]\
Diablo-D3: in other words,
the
turbines pay for
themselves in 2 years
Diablo-D3: oh and btw, lets say we get enough wind
to keep it doing at least half
the nameplate rating
Diablo-D3: so it doesnt even have
to halt
then
Diablo-D3: and now
they have ones
that
turn
the blades
Diablo-D3: and
turbines only halt in 60+ mph winds anymore
pankkake: as long as it does not have
to stop when
there is
too much wind. or break every other day
Diablo-D3: next gen wind should be able
to do a megawatt in half a million dollars
Diablo-D3: using next gen wind
turbines, we can power maine on wind alone
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves:
the compute side has a problem where we're looking at at least 3 major new
techs
ThickAsThieves: I do believe solar power is a good
thing
to get into currently
Diablo-D3: solar and wind are not renewable: once
the sun burns out, we cant go buy another at walmart
Diablo-D3: one focusing on compute,
the other focusing on green power
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: but basically,
the dmc plan is being split in half
Diablo-D3: a lot of real world investors
thought what I did was interesting, even if it didnt quite work
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: not yet, I managed
to get advisors
though
ThickAsThieves: I havent been around as long as you, but so far what ive learned is
that you sorta ran DMC, and are in
the process of sorta closing it. what i don't get is what you do now, and how you plan
to pull off something new and larger.
Diablo-D3: each one handling part of
the problem
Diablo-D3: the company is being split into
two
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves:
thats a problem
that has actually solved itself
ThickAsThieves: the scale of your idea, as I recall it, seemed bigger
than your britches, no?
Diablo-D3: because
they're nosey bastards and
think everything is mob money
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves:
the problem is just
the SEC alone
Diablo-D3: I imagine
there would be several, one for each exchange
Diablo-D3: Im offering it
to anyone who wants
to do it
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: Im not just offering it
to you btw
ThickAsThieves: Diablo, why would i want
to be involved in what you suggest?
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves: so someone would have
to actually have his real identity on
the paperwork
mircea_popescu: kinda predictable by now. me being
the pr chick, me being
the evil scammor, me and my suits, me and children, me and whatnot.
Diablo-D3: ThickAsThieves:
the problem with crowdsourcing large projects like
this is
the SEC has yet
to actually give any real guidance for it
jcpham: i was just reading all about you over on
the reddit
matuszed: Youd
think
these kind of convos would happen in a less public forum
Diablo-D3: would you be interested in doing a passthrough where you sell shares of a really huge bond, collect
the money, and
then purchase said bond from my company
ozbot: Bitcoin companies subpoenaed as New York financial regulators dig for answers |
The Verge
mircea_popescu: i'd be much surprised for an ex kgb head
to be doing any sort of substance at all.
ozbot: Putin appears “like
the bored kid in
the back of
the classroom” – Barack Obama – InSerbia Ne
mircea_popescu: obama gets clever with putin. " “I know
the press likes
to focus on body language, and he’s got
that kind of slouch, looking like
the bored kid in
the back of
the classroom. "
