mircea_popescu: i imagine
they'd have one of
those higher volume flasher
things
jborkl_: Yeah,
the firmware part could have many causes
mircea_popescu: that part could be easily explained.
the firmware is being flashed before
the chips are put in
jborkl_: Easy,
the guy
that made
the
two units with
the old firmware- he forgot
to do his updates- DOH
mircea_popescu: "If
these units have been produced a week ago, like we are being
told (new magic smt line, 50 units per day), how is it
that
they have an April firmware on it?"
mircea_popescu: not saying
that
the avalon people aren;'t lieing like it's going out of fashion, but
jborkl_: The site really unsecured, someone is going
to hack and wreck
that shit, oh wait maybe
they already did and
they made it
twinkie
davout: how did
their little drama end up btw?
ThickAsThieves: A: No,
trader can only use borrowed funds on Bitfinex,
they can't withdraw it. Lenders are safe from
this point of view.
jborkl_: You can open a "Deposit" account
to lend US dollars
to others Bitfinex
traders.
ThickAsThieves: Q: How can I
take advantage of bitcoin market even if I don't like Bitcoin or don't feel like buying it?
jborkl_: oh wait
the next one is even better
ThickAsThieves: A: You can open a "Deposit" account
to lend bitcoins
to others Bitfinex
traders.
ThickAsThieves: Q: I'm a long
term bitcoin holder, what
type of account suits me
the best?
davout: it's funny
they
think
they need a money-transmitter license when clearly what
they do is waaay beyonf
that regulatory-wise
jborkl_: You can open an "Exchange" account and use
the "Exchange"
tab of Bitfinex.
jborkl_: I would like
to
trade like on MtGox, how do I do?
mircea_popescu: We pride ourselves in having
the most secure platform in
the bitcoin world, and here is why:
jborkl_: I have not heard of it before
today
mircea_popescu: jborkl_ are
these
the well funded group or o no wait, different people.
davout: lol nah, i'd rather neutral
than ugly
jborkl_: Bitfinex is
the most advanced financial place in
the Bitcoin world
jborkl_: Well, MP
they say
they have you beat
davout: my 4 year old made me a painted egg-holder for father's day, i
think she can give
these guys a design lesson
ThickAsThieves: and I have
to essentially psychologically manipulate
the clients
to get
that 15%
ThickAsThieves: davout,
that comic is why i'm getting out of
this game
davout: jborkl_: you're not being very nice
to six years olds
davout: you should be able
to do it
jborkl_: before bitfinex declares
they are
the most advance in
the world,
they need
to work on
they main page
davout: that's like asking if a cooking pan supports
tea
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if i find out you're working for
those asic
technologies idiots i will find you and stab you in
the
testicles.
ThickAsThieves: if i can put an email signup form in
their email newsletter
davout: i don't
think flexcoin is an alt
mircea_popescu: During
the application period and until final launch
this requires us
to stop receiving incoming wires during
this
time with immediate effect."
mircea_popescu: We have now commenced with all
the preliminary paperwork in order
to become a fully licensed money
transmitter in Hong Kong.
davout: flexcoin is, wait or it...
the first bitcoin bank
jborkl_: isnt
that just any altcoin
mircea_popescu: no, iirc some guy had
the idea of making a diff coin where all balances lose whatever %
mircea_popescu: is
this
the
thing with lose your coins if you hold
them ?
ThickAsThieves: there is clearly not enough drama yet, all
the forum
threads i follow seem
to be a dozen guys painfully obsessing over
things
they have no influence over
mircea_popescu: i
think
the same five people make all
the bank buildings
mircea_popescu: i was preparing a nice flower arrangement for
the mizuho funeral
jborkl_: he was here less
than 10 minutes ago
assbot: It's so strange
that you don't remember any of your poetry.
pankkake: only news
that
they might become profitable
peterl: is
there some good news on BTVPS, or is somebody pump-and-dumping?
peterl: BITVPS spiked quite a bit
today
davout: s/proprietary gateway software/a perl wrapper for
the bitcoin client/
peterl: because
there is only room for one game company?
mircea_popescu: "There is already a well-funded group developing proprietary gateway software
to integrate a BTC economy into several major game platforms. If you are still at
the stage of raising capital you have probably already missed
the boat."
davout: oh, and btw i'll forever be
thankful
to romania for introducing me
to
tripes
davout: mircea_popescu: yeah, i saw
that
thread
davout: at
this rate gox is going
to go under before we even reopen, no fun...
davout: probably as much meat in
the lasagna as USD backing MTGUSD, NOBODY KNOWS
davout: the funniest part about it is
that nobody actually reported lasagna as
tasting funny
mircea_popescu: so it's a case of "the japanese have replaced our hambuger meat with
tuna". right-o.
mircea_popescu: davout
the story did make it
to romania, mostly
to consternation.
davout: yea, i heard about
the breast implants
thing
kakobrekla: but stupid people, horse is better
than beef
davout: any
truth
to
this? did
the story make it
to romania?
davout: romanians were immediately blamed for it and all
the newspapers mentioned
that horses were recently forbidden on
the romanian roads, leading
to lots of horses ending up in industrial lasagna
mircea_popescu: o ya ?
this reminds me of
the case where lots of women were shocked
to hear
their french boobie inplants contained some sort of piss instead of gel.
davout: we recently had
this
thing in france where everybody was shocked
to learn
that lots of
the lasagna you'd buy in
the store contained horse meat instead of beef
davout: what does
that mean "she got a paste" ?
mircea_popescu: but anyway : if you didn't buttfuck frogs all day you wouldn't be infertile
to begin with.
davout: yea,
that works
too, but it's usually daddy
that pushes it
davout: aknap3:
there's actually a story like
that
these days in
the french news
aknap3: davout: more likely send you
their neighbor's kid
davout: i like romanians,
they'll sell you
their kid if you're infertile and can't be fucked
to jump
through
the adoption bureaucratic hoops
mircea_popescu: i like french people.
they're cultured and make obscure puns feasible.
davout: jimmy2k: we're reopening, optimistic
timeframe is mid july, pessimistic is beginning of september
davout: since you now have
to handle revocation as well
mircea_popescu: a very simple design is usually safer
than an apparenlty safer but more complex design
jimmy2k: davout, is
there any more precise information for
the relaunch of bitcoin-central ?
davout: ugh, i guess it introduces more problems
than it actually solves
davout: but i guess if you compromise a subkey you still have a few options
to do nasty
things anyway
davout: i was imagining something around
the lines of "register your master key, any subkey signed by
the master key counts as
the master key itself"
mircea_popescu: but if you don't use
tghe master key it doesn't matter if it's jhard
to compromise
