jborkl_: Namworld, I ha my wire not sent for 30 days. I finally cancelled it and support put it back in my account in less
than 5 minutes
Namworld: I've seen people claim
they got
their MtGox withdrawals (especially out of US/Europe) and people in
the US claim
to have called
their bank and
they were
told
there was a wire but
the bank is refusing it.
Rulother: Ended up getting Serious Sam 3 and Max Payne 3
too
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves are you making
the snark up or is it actually
their inept pr ?
ThickAsThieves: "You can pre-order your withdrawal now,
they will be up and running in about
two weeks"
Apocalyptic: some guy claims
to have received one
today, 1.5 months after
the request
Scrat: he never checks irc
though
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic congrats, you've stumbled upon
the definition of fractional reserve.
Apocalyptic: you just add
that sum
to
the site's liabilities
mircea_popescu: they make
the call right
then and
there and stick
to it.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well
tyhis is why you want experienced management
mircea_popescu: honestly i;'d have been more worried if he kept up
the pretense of paying from his own pocket
ThickAsThieves: one part I find odd is
that from what I read,
this somehow puts 100+ btc back into celeste's account
Apocalyptic: it would amortize itself over
time, as
the site should be profitable, and leaving him an clean reputation
Apocalyptic: mircea, why didn't he just
took
the loss as stated previously, it's not like he had
to pay
the amount right now off his pockets, (unless everyone divested)
mircea_popescu: people were all aggitated at erik for what
they considered his poor management
nubbins`: there's a certain amount of foreboding built into
the word "swarm"
ThickAsThieves: SDSTM holders still haven't figured out
the fund shares are worth .001, not .01 ...
Rulother: Dark Age of Camelot pretty much
took up most of my
time
mjr_: i, as a kid, read a LOT of Howard Pyle books, and used
to love medieval heraldry and armor
mjr_: i
think
the crest might need a bird of prey displayed with wings elevated
mircea_popescu: but
this chan could find fault with holy mary full of cum i mean grace.
jcpham: i just sent a realy nasty message
to my mother
mircea_popescu: ya but i mean see ?
there's a helmet, atop which a crown
mjr_: I can't wait
to play!
mircea_popescu: the reason
the
top is as large as
the mid is
that people pile shit in
there like you wouldn't believe.
ThickAsThieves: in your drawing it looks like
the footer supports some sort of banner
ThickAsThieves: mp, when you are done whipping your graphics
team, I need
to further annoy you.
mircea_popescu: there's a
thick-ish line on both sides of
the 400 and 800 rule, showing
tolerances
mircea_popescu: vertically
the head is from 0
to 400.
the shield from 400
to 800
ThickAsThieves: i am assuming you want
the shield larger
than
the head
mircea_popescu: i guess i made a confusing spec originally in
that i didn't correctly separate
things for ppl.
mircea_popescu: and na,
the edge has
to do with how
the software uses
the images
ThickAsThieves: is
this black edging some kind of shadow on
the crest box or something, or just an awkward way
to make your original spec not wrong ;)
ThickAsThieves: mp, your new mask made
the head area larger. I assume you know
this, but it does feel a bit
top-heavy now.
mircea_popescu: why do
these people feel
the urge
to comment expertly on
things
they don't even vaguely grok already.
Apocalyptic: well, he decided he wouldn't
take
the loss
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic i've not really had
time
to follow
that one, what's
the news
today ?
FabianB: so where's
the S.MG panic sale?
mjr_: but overall, you are just giving more cash and
then more bitcoin
to
the people who want it
mjr_: i mean you usually give people who are smart
the opportunity
to make a lot of money
mjr_: it can be a very expensive and potentially disastrous strategy
trying
to corner a market
jurov: both of
these break down regularly at wall st
nubbins`: i was kinda offering
that up as an implausible scenario in which logic and math break down, but i guess my
timing needs a bit of work
jurov: but
the option will be sold out by
that
time already
jurov: than
to destroy bitcoin as a whole
jurov: more likely is
they will use such scheme
to
try putting our mircea out of business, should he become a PITA.
nubbins`: wouldn't YOU stop spending if
that was
the case?
nubbins`: no more
than $1.10 per $, i'm sure
ThickAsThieves: i wonder how valuable money would have
to get for everyone
to just freeze in place and die?
pankkake: "it’s bad for
the economy at large if money holds or increases in value, because
then everybody starts saving all
their money and nobody buys much of anything" ugh…
pankkake: sure, for now it's absurd. no bank is going
to do
that
ThickAsThieves: how does
that work
too "Boss, can we budget $500m
to fuck around with bitcoin?"
pankkake: of course it's hurting confidence - as
they mention in
the article
pankkake: that would only give more fiat money
to bitcoiners
ThickAsThieves: This would remain
the case if Bitcoin’s market cap increased 100-fold or even 1000-fold.
The algorithm is simple: gradually purchase large sums of Bitcoins, a hundred million dollars worth given
the current market cap would be plenty.
Then flash sell
them
to flood
the market and drive
the price down. Rinse, repeat."
ThickAsThieves: "And, in
the case of Bitcoin, it would be utterly simple
to do because
the
total value of all Bitcoins, currently about $1 billion, is so minuscule compared
to
the buying power of any industrialized country.
ozbot: Bitcoin will prosper — until governments or banks decide
to crush it overnight —
Tech News
Apocaly: i mean
the part of
taking a day off and
then changing his mind about
taking
the loss out of his pocket, and your comments on
that
