mircea_popescu: personally i thought that's the best part.
mircea_popescu: ", it scares me how much of a witch hunt is going on for MtGox and I wonder if MtGox is undergoing the same treatment that the Bitcoinica Consultancy received and if those criticizing MtGox are simply doing the bidding of Tihan Seale and his friends."
mircea_popescu: for the chan's amusement : mpoe-pr hath spoken. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=209362.msg2193455#msg2193455

mircea_popescu: JevTrade, JevTrade logo, and all other trademarks, whether registered or unregistered, are the property of Jevons, Inc. and its affiliates.
kakobrekla: whod want to be here https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BKkGp4pCMAE6bFF.jpg:large
kakobrekla: isnt this the same webpage as that other one
mircea_popescu: so his presumption is that anyone mining with the same extra-nonce is the same person. this is a reasonably weak assumption.
truffles: (that he wouldnt have met the good ones..)
truffles: <mircea_popescu> all bureaucrats i met are either failures, boring and evil>>> isnt this to be expected if they were a success..
jurov: and also that you are NOT several thousand years old etc.
jurov: mircea by the way, you should also deny that you are NOT alien with superpowers
truffles: asciilifeform thats what every1 kept saying, im shocked
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thought you were one?
mircea_popescu: there never was one to date afaik, and it's getting progressively harder.
jurov: all over the phorum
mircea_popescu: i doubt there's going to ever be a btc millionaire.
jurov: oh there are "hundredaires" and "thousandaires" already
asciilifeform: expect the same with BTC?
asciilifeform: in Russia, the phrase "dollar millionaire" has replaced the now laughable plain "millionaire"
jurov: behold, artists' take on bureaucracy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Benefits_Supervisor_Sleeping.jpg
mircea_popescu: like oral sex. fucking a broad in the mouth was bragging rights in 1913
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it only does in the retard land of vice interns
asciilifeform: I find it amusing that that kind of sum gives you media bragging rights
asciilifeform: 1.5 mil is chump change. That's the cost of ~4-5 ordinary public buses.
thestringpuller: I would think anything dependent on Gox is doomed from the start...
mircea_popescu: meanwhile they fucked it up.
thestringpuller: The Winklevoss twins invested 1.5 million in Bitinstant?
mircea_popescu: the rest need to be gives something to do with their time.
asciilifeform: I mean, I understand the hallowed tradition of building expensive smoke and mirror contraptions for the government to buy. But straight-out paper fraud is in some ways more honourable. At least the latter doesn't tie up the time and energy of people who could be doing actual, useful engineering.
mircea_popescu: they'll just grow up to be bureaucrats because there's nothing of practical use they can do with their time.
mircea_popescu: i would say there's exactly zero difference between your average bureaucrat and your average bitcoinite, such as https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=209159.msg2193424#msg2193424
asciilifeform: keep in mind that NASA also tested Podkletnov's antigravity engine.

jurov: in my imagination they are all nice, amicable and dutiful
mircea_popescu: ya well... don't trust the papers so much
asciilifeform: jurov: nope. but I did read the papers.
thestringpuller: What do you think mircea_popescu the third?
