mircea_popescu: but anyway, bitcoin is basically game currency.
that's what it's for.
mircea_popescu: deadweasel hehe, first
things first. ipo,
the nwe see what btc is gathered
together.
usagi: Well, silver has been going down in USD, but up in
terms of BTC
deadweasel: i
thought
that for a split second, but when I didn't get it, I was sure it was just
trollin ;)
deadweasel: usagi, no idea what you're
talking about,
totally don't care. but how is
the silver biz?
usagi: try it,
type "/print Unknown command" and it prints
the message
usagi: hey deadweasel did you hear about
the /print IRC command?
deadweasel: is
there a better question I could be asking?
deadweasel: what brought on
this game dev ipo? Where can we read about
the companies under
this umbrella? Any games out yet?
ericmuys_: topace_: if
there's anything I'm sure of, mircea_popescu created cat mario - www.youtube.com/watch?v=BksFy5qbwwM
mircea_popescu: actual mpex contract later
today, actual ipo closes on
the 10th
mircea_popescu: very comical one, if you understand
the language and law
fiat500: mircea_popescu: it was a show-trial basically, i dont even
think
they
tried
to hide
that fact
fiat500: interesting corollary
to
the mubarak
trial in egypt
mircea_popescu: there's
two problems with
that.
the first,
that
the law does not speak of instigation, it speaks of doing, and as such it's not clear how can you hold C responsible for genocide, except in
the case you can show he himself killed, hurt, imposed etc.
fiat500: "How will grab our state, created from hands, hopes and
thoughts of guys hardly qualified secretarial and kitchen?"
fiat500: i found
this pretty funny
too
assbot: Last
trade for BITVPS on BTCTC was at 0.000839 BTC [+]
fiat500: Problemele sunt doua : prima problema, ca nu se face vorbire in lege de instigare,
textul glasuieste de savirsirea unor fapte, si ca atare nu-i clar in ce masura Ceausescu poate fi el
tinut responsabil de genocid, afara de cazul ca el cu mina lui a omorit, vatamat, supus etc.
mircea_popescu: for
the sake of lulz quote
the original i'll
translate properly.
fiat500: i
think i get
the gist of
that, but man does google have a long way
to go
fiat500: "The problems are
two:
the first problem is not
the law of incitement speech,
the
text expresses itself by committing deeds, and
therefore not clear
to what extent can he be held responsible Ceausescu genocide, unless he with mine His murder, damaged, subjected etc.
The
thing is of course open
to dispute in court, Prax do not exist, so
there will undoubtedly fit hot debate."
fiat500: interesting, ill
try
to wade
through
the
translation
fiat500: mircea_popescu: google
translate does a miserable job of
translating
this
Chaang-Noi: President Bashar Assad
took
the
trouble on Sunday after his helicopter crash?
fiat500: romania is not
to be
trifled with
thestringpuller: deadweasel: Amanda Bynes was a very successful child actress who has joined
the list of child actors who go
trippin'
usagi: is
that a winklevoss?
fiat500: mircea_popescu: i saw a video of ceaucescu's
trial and execution yesterday, very poignant
fiat500: quite
the illusion he is living in
mircea_popescu: the government of President Bashar Assad
took
the
trouble on Sunday
to warn its citizens against
travel
to neighboring
Turkey on
the grounds it might not be safe
there.
Chaang-Noi: i wonder if
that bitcoin foundation guy got a new
twitter :)
deadweasel: it's
the first
time I've heard
the name.
deadweasel: In fact, you can survive without pot for long periods of
time.
Chaang-Noi: the cops wont fuck with me here, and
they dont fuck with most white people anyway, esp out side of
tourst areas
KRS1: In a country most notable for
tourism and you cant smoke out..i'll have
to remember not
to vacaction
there, regardless of what I heard about
the picturesuqe sunrises.
Chaang-Noi: some cops give shit
to some
tourists in
tourist areas either cuz
the
tourist are being cocks or cuz
the cops want a bribe
thestringpuller: My friend was living in Vietnam with his
then gf, and some people saw him go into her relative's house, and
the police came and said, "Give us 50 dollars for having a white person in your house."
ThickAsThieves: i always
thought bought would be a decent addition
to any spice rack
Chaang-Noi: they mostly go after meth and shit like
that
Chaang-Noi: i dont kow how it is is vietnam, however it is illegal here,
the cops in some
tourist areas will give you shit for smoking or having some pot
thestringpuller: My friend said
the pot posession in Vietnam is a capital offense.
thestringpuller: Chaang-Noi: Is it super illegal
to smoke pot in
Thailand like Vietnam?
deadweasel: Chaang-Noi, seems pretty cut and dry,
they only buy BTC.... glad you
think
they will
too.
thestringpuller: I was one
told consultants are people you hire
to steal your watch
to
tell you what
time it is...
mircea_popescu: this is niot how it works.
they who are worth millions hire a consultant.
those who aren't worth millions pray.
Chaang-Noi: <deadweasel> If anyone can beat
this it's
TC
they will, its a silly charge
thestringpuller: Good point.
That's why I said "edit" perhaps you can help get more motion behind it. Maybe call it a "safe countries list".
mircea_popescu: sounds like a difficult
thing, you're not a lawyer. how'd you compose one ?
mircea_popescu: but as a general rule of
thumb, if
they don't speak english
they probably don't have
the english brain rot either.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: do you have a list of countries
that view BTC in
the same way as romania. As smickles once said: "WoW money".
mircea_popescu: saulimus afaik it is not open
to borrow, it's just
tradefortress' private bond.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: You were right again about
the magical bureaucrat yet again...
ericmuys_: nice, your IPO is almost finished eh
TAT 8-)
saulimus: just noticed btcjam doesn't show APR for
the listings, annoying.
saulimus: I was
thinking of borrowing, not depositing money
to gain interest..
saulimus: could someone with an account at coinlenders perhaps
tell me what
the rates are like
there?
deadweasel: depends on
that cost, I don't
think it's been discovered yet. Historically it's probably
too high
to pursue.
mircea_popescu: realistically i don't imagine he can justify
the costs of so doing.
deadweasel: Make me sad, I loved getting checks in
the mail for BTC sales.. felt so good.
mircea_popescu: KRS1 fwiw i don't buy his entire "had
the
tab open must have acciodentally
typed in"
theory.
KRS1: Chaang-Noi: you said it bro..I'd rather go
to hell.. oh wait I'm already
there.
Chaang-Noi: also one of
the most mystarious people in btc land
ThickAsThieves: at first i
though OneFixt wasn't worth following, but he's
turning out
to be pretty good at
this
Chaang-Noi: 115 has held for longer
than i expected
Chaang-Noi: having a job, with a boss, sounds like hell
to me
KRS1: only
the good stuff
though
KRS1: Yeah I send spam but I'm often
thanked for it. I'm a sysadmin 14+ yrs..I
touch everything from web servers
to SAN's and switches, virtualization, I.T. security.
KRS1: Great article Mircea Popescu.
Thanks. I have forwarded
this on
to management in
the corporate levels for
the company I work for.
mircea_popescu: he got
the fincen reg and was in
the process of licensing
mircea_popescu: which is why
this is important : proof
that no,
they don't just want
the data.
mircea_popescu: this latest event is clear proof
this ain't
the case.
the guy was meticulously keeping
track of customers.
mircea_popescu: the end of dt is a lot more important news
tbh. pretty soon
the us will be cut off from btc completely.
jurov: he would sell me C130T equivalent
that breaks even at 142. clearly loss is not conceivable.
