scrybe: it's like the Macklemore version of dark chocolate and chilies
Rulother__: lol, I'm willing to try it.
Rulother__: True, tried it on twinkies recently... Not bad
scrybe: Rulother, that's why purists use wavy lays and dip them in the real stuff
Rulother__: When Lays tried to make a Sriracha flavored chip, it just tasted like vinegar, I think we can do better.
topace: with the green lid
topace: you want the rooster one

mircea_popescu: dexX7 yeah, was the tagline for a while. mpex, failing last. since 2011.
dexX7: "It's like a founders club where only the cool kid OG bitcoin miners can play." << i guess that's appropriate
pankkake: the guy everyone likes to hate or something
mircea_popescu: i guess i own The Citadel of Evil
dexX7: hehe, is that something new to you? :p
mircea_popescu: atm i was lolling at the fact that somehow me and the girl are the topic of the fake-asicminer thread.
dexX7: did you take a look at cointerra?
mircea_popescu: giving shit allows you to string out the idiots and only the idiots for years, as bfl has recently proven but otherwise as it's been documented ot high heavens already.
mircea_popescu: so, giving out "Actual updates" might put you in the worst position ever : get the attention of a lot of people who are mostly sane, and so won't ever let you scam them.
mircea_popescu: and so false positives is what he needs to control.
mircea_popescu: false positives are the only major cost of the spammer.
mircea_popescu: it's badly spelled because this way it repells the smart people early.
mircea_popescu: as i've said about fiddy times, it's not badly spelled and badly thought out because nobody in nigeria can be found who can spell
mircea_popescu: again, consider the classical case of the email scam.
dexX7: only give out very little, so they crave?
dexX7: so you fuel their desires by limiting information?
pankkake: the amc thread is spot on, on the emotional enslavement
mircea_popescu: and saying that you'd give away your cluelessness :)
dexX7: well, that's how i'd do things at least xD
dexX7: i'd say it's the same as a legit business, but without delivery
mircea_popescu: the idea is to discourage the thinking people and emotionally enslave the idiots.
dexX7: yes, but with simple things.. like pictures, regular updates etc., you could pump it even more
mircea_popescu: it's a matter of some scammers creating a fake asicminer and trying to pump it.
pankkake: they raised so much money, why would they care now?
dexX7: and actm has improved thanks to street
dexX7: labcoin is the only one trying
dexX7: it's a different mentality, but i can't understand how some companies handle those things.. an update every few days with one sentence?
dexX7: maybe. if you read through the actm thread for example, it's full of fud, too.. like almost every security thread on talk
pankkake: I would say he's faking it to have some reaction, but chinese might have a different psychology
dexX7: pankkake: "Haha, waiting for me to go to the police, the People's Bank report on illegal fund-raising."
dexX7: pankkake: there are some chinese who say it's a "group which wants lower share prices"
dexX7: no i don't.. just found the post :)
mircea_popescu: i thought you knew him. i don't.
mircea_popescu: can you get the guy to come here ?
dexX7: and it's about banning members on btcman who asked questions about the company
dexX7: but as far as i understand there was even a btcman mod who rebelled
dexX7: my understanding was almost zero and i didn't want to spread rumors
dexX7: what's your take on this?
mircea_popescu: much more interesting would be the skamskimo bob's asset report for july
pankkake: there are many steam games on bitmit too
ThickAsThieves: i forget the name
ThickAsThieves: i think so
Rulother__: it hasn't gained enough steam to break yet
Rulother__: That's been there for a long time
Guest73018: wtf is that ridiculous sell wall
dandate2: shitgardens back to ipo price
kleeck_: Where it *could* get shady is in hardware sales, depending on how the sales are made. I believe AM sells most of theirs via public auction, though.
kleeck_: I'm pretty sure all mining securities make their hashing power public and site their pools. If there is one that doesn't share that I'd stay away.
kleeck_: All you need is access to their pool data and the rest is basic math.
kleeck_: Of course there is transperency.
dandate2: Is there any transparency on these dividend payouts? I imagine its more corrupt than the markets of nigeria
pankkake: you're missing the price where it's usually more expensive
pankkake: now this is getting interesting: http://coinforest.com/?ref=gandi-mail1
pankkake: and it's just the "last price", if you look at the order books, AM1 is higher as always
pankkake: you don't need much to move, as there isn't much volume
dandate2: how the hell does that happen, isn't one just a fraction of the other?
dandate2: justl ooking at the chart on havelock looks like am1 is going down and am100 goign up
pankkake: price used to be much lower
dandate2: why is am100 performing so much better than am1 on havelock?
pankkake: another services with offchain transactions http://blog.coinbase.com/post/57483182558/you-can-now-send-micro-transactions-with-zero-fees
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [XBOND] [PAID] 1.00931000 BTC to 2`018`620 shares, 50 satoshi per share
VanCleef: good news coming out of uruguay too
mircea_popescu: inflation has nothing to do with it
