mircea_popescu: something he actually clearly understands, as displayed by
the abandonment of "scammer
tags" and
the open system
mircea_popescu: he narrowly escaped with all
the parts attached after his glbse share selling lasty year,
the last
thing he needs any exposure
to is playing
the rating agency
mircea_popescu: theymos makes no representation as
to having a clue about finance.
jcpham: didn't he get outed
talking
to his sock
the other day
ThickAsThieves: the sad
thing is, I wanna negrate him, but i fear getting onto
theymos' radar...
ThickAsThieves: it's
totally feasible
to pay out a reasonableinterest rate
mircea_popescu: "1.
To
the bondholder, you are right
that it does not matter what
the funds are being used for, so long as
the interest is paid."
pankkake: "How is your asset approved so quickly and with less
than 5 votes?" he voted himself
ThickAsThieves: midway into conversation, he decides
to doublt
the interest rate
mircea_popescu: so basically
the various wanna-be exchanges have simply decided
to fuck
themselves over,
to prove
this entire
theory
that "mp doesn't need
to bother, you'll suicide"
usagi: That might be a problem, your not really allowed
to do
that
ThickAsThieves: and
that it somehow got listed on BTCTC without
the required 5 votes everyone else has
to get
ThickAsThieves: oh did you guys catch
that Garr is issuing a new bond?
mircea_popescu: social experimentation, one of
the unadvertised uses of bitcoin.
ThickAsThieves: he's buying up shares and reposting
them at 25 himself
ThickAsThieves: people will just keep reposting
the cheaper shares just under his wall at 25
jcpham: ijs
they picked a decent charity. could give more
mircea_popescu: yeah, but yours wasn't 0.75% of what you had promised
to give, in order
to save your fraudulent operation.
ThickAsThieves: ""BFL could have spent 75 BTC on hookers and blow, but
they chose
to send it
to homeless outreach," King said. "If
that was just a PR stunt, I can’t control [that]. What I can control is how I spend
that money and use it
to spend on people who are less fortunate
than I am.""
ThickAsThieves: In fact, it
turns out
that BDF was actually started by Butterfly Labs' own employees—a fact disclosed nowhere on
the BDF site. When Ars reached out
to
the only e-mail address listed on
the site,
the response
that came back was from Jeff Ownby,
the BFL vice president."
ThickAsThieves: "BFL didn’t make
that
target, and as such, it said it donated 1,000 BTC
to
the Bitcoin Development Fund (BDF). However,
the BDF appears
to have been created in May 2013 and provides no documentation
that it is, in fact, a bona fide charity or nonprofit organization. Its website lists no actual people, street addresses, or phone numbers.
ThickAsThieves: no way
that
they will back off. Backing off means
that you would open
the door against
the government. So
the way it works is you always have
to agree
to some minor
thing just
to make sure
that
the government doesn’t end up being wrong.”
ThickAsThieves: “The convention of mail fraud, it’s governmental stuff,” he said. “It’s difficult
to explain. Governments actually
take action against people for different reasons. It’s not crime always. Certain
things like mail fraud, money laundering—[they are] standard [ways]
to attack someone. When
the government attacks you, and if
there’s a point where
they’re wrong,
there’s
mircea_popescu: "Being a good writer is 3%
talent, 97% not being distracted by
the Internet."
mircea_popescu: 's not related
to me. Simple or complex, it's out of my
territory."
mircea_popescu: Chris Vleisides is reportedly Sonny Vleisides’ stepfather, but we were unable
to confirm
this with BFL and neither Vleisides responded
to repeated requests for interviews. Ghosieri
told Ars
that
the
two Vleisides "aren't
the same person," but when asked how exactly
they were related, he said, "I hope you understand,
these
things are personal. I can't really answer
them without strict authorization—simply because it
ThickAsThieves: "Sonny Chris Vleisides, who pled guilty
to one count of mail fraud in 2010 (PDF) for being involved in an international lottery scam, is an executive at BFL. "

ThickAsThieves: " A lack of
trustworthy businesses does not command a need for a
trust-bestowing agency. If
there are not enough hot women in
the room, do you hire someone
to determine whether a woman is hot or not?"
ozbot: The expectation of div's sets
the world of crypto-stocks off on
the wrong foot
deadweasel: your analogies have colors
that don't even exist in fucking rainbows, MP. It
takes a moment..
mircea_popescu: compare and contrast case A, 12 yo chick wanting
to suck cock with case B, 12 yo chick wanting
to snort coke.
