mircea_popescu: asciilifeform shouldn't be 100%, should be more like w/e vat is
mike_c: call it the tx fee in the UI, and don't actually pay tx fee (or reduced fee). difference goes to author.
asciilifeform surprised the various chumpatronic engineers who push 'amazing! web based stock trading' crud haven't come out with one yet
benkay: and besides i don't 'trade'.
jurov: mike_c i don't like how it shows trending behavior from start to finish on most of the games
mircea_popescu: mike_c i was thinking, i didn't even know this shit was possible.
thestringpuller: but BTC doesn't come from nothing...
mircea_popescu: sure you got drowned in spit, but they didn't mean anything by it.
mircea_popescu: it's not delusional, per se. it's just that china is large. when you're that large, spitting in every vessel isn't particularly noteworthy.
mike_c: the fed isn't the sole buyer, they aren't entirely fake. there are others with vested interest in keeping us propped up.
mircea_popescu: but they don't perceive they have options.
benkay: so okay i don't know anything about finance and i have a question
benkay: aren't they due to fold sometime this or next quarter?
BingoBoingo: %t
mircea_popescu: aren't they basically the start-up predicated on the notion that square made simple geometric shapes bankable ?
mircea_popescu: noob traders generally don't understand that the trinity is price, volume, volatility.
asciilifeform: stalin died, condoms appeared, marriage as SOP didn't really start to sink till the '90s (ussr)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: secretary << that wasn't about secretary. that was 'секретутка' - 'secretute'
mircea_popescu: https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs17.postimg.org%2F51tx306hb%2FCapture.jpg&t=541&c=bf37IGAdaIoDqA << ahahha nice one ThickAsThieves
mircea_popescu: the reason isn't that she's fucking him, but quite exactly the contrary : unlike all the junior schmucks, she isn't.
mircea_popescu: generally speaking, the senior partner at a law firm will be fucking enraged if you manage to steal his secretary. he couldn't care less if half the junior "partners" leave.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=work%20wife | That person at work (same or opposite sex) that takes the place of your "at home" spouse while you are at work (no sexual relationship is part of t...
mircea_popescu: cause it wouldn't surprise me.
pankkake: that's why I didn't bet, actually, I'm surprised it was approved without a resolution source in the first place
pankkake: didn't he think that the info would not be available quickly when he bet?
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: betcha this fellow is american. over here, they'll bring a mostly empty bottle of vodka to the shop, say 'i didn't like it', get money back.
Namworld: Ah yes, there's the FAQ answer. Doesn't specify a definite time limit, but it does mention it.
assbot: Trying to create the perfect password this evening? These tips will help! http://t.co/F2aynIDUsV http://t.co/K6GqpYXBAc
chetty: you can't make this shit up - http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/07/no_author/high-schooler-says-he-will-commit-suicide/
moiety: BingoBoingo: is it very boring to play people that aren't at your level?
moiety: if you could feign some form of "oh well i really didn't see that coming" that would be fabulous
moiety: ya.. i'm not quite at the stage of thinking ahead to what you will do next. i don't quite see how to protect that back bit without moving folk out
moiety: sorry i don't give such a good game, I will some day. i promise you that!
moiety: i did.... but i think it wasn't the best move to make... but im struggling cus, well, you know, you have ALL THE REST!
BingoBoingo: %t
BingoBoingo: %t
BingoBoingo: moiety: Wait there was a sie wasn't there
BingoBoingo: moiety: No new news yet. Which isn't a bad thing
BingoBoingo: %t
BingoBoingo: GunPlay: That doesn't hurt, but also throwing things out in the channel can be productive
GunPlay: mircea_popescu: naw, I don't know mthreat
asciilifeform: benkay: just as a 'samurai' isn't quite the same animal as european 'knight,' a soviet стукач isn't entirely the same species as a new york 'stoolie' - etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can't afford security detail ? stfu, do something else with your time. bitcoin is not for you << alternatively, be boring. (works for me so far)
benkay: i don't really care to put my life online either.
benkay: i also don't have anything to say about things anymore.
benkay: don't really see why i should flatten out the information asymmetry either.
benkay: i don't write posts no mo.

Diablo-D3: [06:15:33] <Namworld> My IP doesn't matter when I've never hidden my name.
BingoBoingo doesn't know who could have seeded the death pot...
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Life can't catch a break
benkay: and if you can't make a torturing go on for a week...
benkay: a week isn't a beating, that's torture.
mircea_popescu: you can probably not take a whole week doing it, but then again most schmucks wouldn't last a week anyway.
mircea_popescu: don't have a team of lawyers on each fucking continent ? stfu, bitcoin is not for you. etc.
mircea_popescu: can't afford security detail ? stfu, do something else with your time. bitcoin is not for you.
mircea_popescu: <Namworld> access to Coinroll. Now I have harm threats and guy says he doesn't care I'm neither owner nor have access to Coinroll's wallet. I have to pay up from my personal money or I won't live... << so tell him the same lol
Namworld: mircea_popescu, if it's not too indiscrete to ask, with the fortune you've accumulated in BTC so far, haven't you received threats/extortion demands so far?
Namworld: I don't control/operate it.
Namworld: Maybe one could prosecute me because it's not registered. Maybe some zealous prosecutor could try to argue I'm an owner. But it wouldn't make much sense. It wouldn't close the business nor prevent operations.
Namworld: Aka, I can't own/operate most BTC things in Canada without license. But there's never been anything preventing investment in legal foreign companies...
Namworld: It's not different. I can't operate Coinroll in Canada, hence why I refused to take it over. Scrat offered it for free to me and someone else. Me being in Canada and other in US, we refused.
jurov: i don't disagree, you just happen to be most visible and in a country with most prone law system
Namworld: I'm surprised jurov/wao haven't received threats already. I'm sure they'll start coming in from random people soon enough.
Namworld: It's not gonna magically make his money appear. If he's serious he can just come to beat me and rob me, but it wouldn't be really any different than any other house robbery.
Namworld: He doesn't show up tho. All I get is IRC threats and addresses to make payments to...
Namworld: @justusranvier Yes about exchange rate, apparently so. I've told the guy he didn't make sense. I'm not the one owning him and if he wanted to extort someone, there's better targets that are just as public.
davout: Namworld: retards don't actually do the things they threaten about
Namworld: access to Coinroll. Now I have harm threats and guy says he doesn't care I'm neither owner nor have access to Coinroll's wallet. I have to pay up from my personal money or I won't live...
Namworld: There was a guy who at first claimed his son gambled his BTC on Coinroll, it's illegal, refund it. Was very insisting. Then another claimed Scrat stole the money and laundered it on his website (no idea how he knew the address his "stolen" BTC went to was a Coinroll address). Then some guy threatening legal action to me directly, having dug up my info. I told him I don't own or have
Namworld: My IP doesn't matter when I've never hidden my name.
Namworld: I don't really hide my idendity. Never have, never wanted to. Anymore than mircea tries to hide anything about who he is. I don't have anything to hide. If I wanted something not known, it wouldn't be known.
Namworld: No, Coinroll did no such thing. But apparently his losses aren't legit and Scrat owes him.
Namworld: Nah, I'm not. Some schmuck who probably lost money on Coinroll and can't get to scrat found my Facebook.
Namworld: Nevermind that I can't do anything about it nor have access to Scrat's wallet.
mircea_popescu: i didn't know Namworld was married.
Namworld: I am now attracting threats of harm to me and my family, for working for a Bitcoin casino and for having a few BTC. Apparently I'm responsible for Scrat's debts because Scrat not reachable/can't pay.
nubbins`: i don't think he spent "his" money at all
mike_c: i don't think he spent his last $ on the coins.
mike_c: 1k isn't overpaying for 30k bitcoins
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: I'm leaning to suspect that as well. That the reason he isn't talking price yet is he doesn't want to appear to have overpayed
assbot: Tune into a live stream at 2pm Pacific Time to learn more about Bitcoin and the Bitcoin auction. http://t.co/2KeriLXOhJ
ninjashogun: you can't just come up with some bogus asset and start selling it.
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, it's why I don't mind doing traditional things. All of the great companies built in America since hte Great Depressoin, including the entire Internet and softtware, etc, tech sector, was done under securities regulation.
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, well, I don't know. That thread I linked shows a founder who is selling assets free of any regulation or securities law. It gets ugly very fast.
ninjashogun: Jurov, I am only interested in personal financing, not in my assets per se. The use is on the two companies, one of which isn't even incorporated.
assbot: Usagi- is he or isn't he a scammer.
Bugpowder: I don't know!
ninjashogun: jurov, I don't see a log for Usagi when I open the scrollback, so probably I haven't spoken with him.
ninjashogun: jurov, let me see. doesn't ring a bell.
ninjashogun: jurov, 0. I didn't even mention it to them.
ninjashogun: I slightly trust Benkay, however he doesn't have a real-world VC network and hasn't taken venture capital money for his business.
ninjashogun: This channel is the most trollish I've ever seen. Anyone is welcome to participate in my funding round on -otc though, as long as they want to connect with me in real life (I don't deal with pseudonymns)
ninjashogun: But I have absolutely no gov't affiliation of any kind, and 15 minutes on the phone with me can tell anyone everything about me.
ninjashogun: hey, so I don't know if it's related to my offer the other day or what by an op in another channel got about 23 PM's from people in this channel.
mircea_popescu: artifexd: I don't think MagicalTux does anything "professionally" << ok that was pretty good
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Many merchants are shitty on Alibaba, but... A lot of people like consuming and reselling shit. << wasn't this essentially the pitch of ebay too ?
mircea_popescu: so the next fucktards aren't gonna know.
mircea_popescu: and he ain't putting the by now years old trilema article al over his shitty "service"
