mircea_popescu: i don't follow this logic, even if it is a sidepoint
mike_c: but, not to sidetrack if that wasn't the main point.
mircea_popescu: the fact that you don't want to do it doesn't mean it's been removed.
mircea_popescu: this is precisely why i said earlier 200bn isn't the concern. the bigger you grow, the more deals are exposed to you.
mircea_popescu: mike_c now, could we say that since you're proposed to either lose all your money or win 100 btc this deal isn't very good,
mike_c: i wouldn't want to be him because he's trying to grow a capital base of $200B.
mircea_popescu: this won't hold in the future.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't want to be in his shoes. he's saved by old age, and by the fact that business cycles used to be slow.
mircea_popescu: can't fucking argue with you without a degree in mikeity.
mike_c: why sit around with a huge cash balance that isn't growing when there are good investment opportunities?
mircea_popescu: anyway, what i had in mind just got shot because i wasn't expecting you to be this reckless :D
mike_c: to be clear (for the last time) we aren't talking about me, but what I would recommend.
mike_c: theoretically JD isn't a security, it's bankrolling a casino.
mircea_popescu: doesn't have to be the personal you. the theoretical you, as described by must always eat cake
mircea_popescu: imagine, a whole people of men who don't have to worry about their thin spot anymore.
BingoBoingo: Wasn't that the first draft of the S.NSA logo?
BingoBoingo: I mean they've been hinted at, but some people probably won't believe until they are wearing an breathing aparatus and hoping it holds so the Radon doesn't asphyxiate them.
mircea_popescu: i had no idea they did that, moreover, pretty sure they didn't USE to do it.
bitcoinpete: didn't see my name pop up in the logs...
decimation: hehe well the amusing thing about it is that loads of "spiritual" new-age white people (eat pray love) come here to find themselves a culture, because they aren't allowed to have one back in the mainland
thestringpuller: you can run shell from php but you don't want to do that
decimation: http://fish2.com/ipmi/river.pdf << problem: c-machines are buggy and crash all the time ... solution: glue another c-machine on top of the c-machine ... problem: hardware vendors have crap security on new c-machine ... and you can't examine the firmware
cazalla: isn't alex jones bill hicks?
Swadq: I'm afraid I don't know, that's not the sort of bot I run :p I hope someone else can help you
bitcoingirl: the shavers case hasn't gone to trial yet
benkay: wait hang on i thought the Shavers case established that they don't care if it's money or not raising funds is raising funds
bitcoingirl: this is my conclusion: "In order for the SEC to consider raising bitcoin a securities offering, they would have to consider bitcoin as ‘money,' which they haven't"
dignork: frankenmint: you don't have to, on unix you can run "gpg -d", and paste the message into stdin
frankenmint: i have gpg and i could register but I can't figure out the proper usage with the challenge link
benkay: ah, any eurozone account? i don't know much about your banking situations.
pankkake: benkay: I don't remember, either no paid wager or bad source (bitcoincharts)
davout: i don't know about kraken, but the paymium approach is that we skip the issue entirely, we verify everyone, if people were only depositing and withdrawing btc they could do it anonymously, but we don't really want that kind of users since we make no money being a wallet
pankkake: they're verification was a joke last time I tried. didn't even have to upload documents for first levels
pankkake: there is to btcusd for bitcoincentral, so gribble invents it. however, there is for kraken, which doesn't see much action
davout: "24 hour volume: 0.98730776" <<< that can't be kraken's eur volume
davout: "he said he couldn't get a bank account... as if it was out of his control" <<< actually, it wouldn't really surprise me if this was true
bitcoingirl: i do - but he is saying that it wasn't his fault tradehill went under bc he couldn't get a bank account
benkay: and i've talked to people who got their money out of BCS&T - what of it?
bitcoingirl: he said he couldn't get a bank account... as if it was out of his control
bitcoingirl: how is keen is serial scammer - i haven't heard this
benkay: lol i ain't frustrated, they don't affect me.
bitcoingirl: but isn't that involved
benkay: and if i recall correctly, US-ians aren't even allowed to trade on Kraken.
BingoBoingo: mthreat: The thing is I know they don't want a trial either.
mthreat: BingoBoingo: Just read your blog post. It's a common negotiating technique to use the "I want to do X but my superior won't let me", making you feel like you're in the same side against his superior.
pankkake: there are ping/subscribe systems, but it doesn't support it
mircea_popescu: pity he doesn't have an irc chan to invite them to move over (for no honorarium)
mircea_popescu: just so some forum tards possessed of .1 btc don't bitch about your "very poor security" which they don't grok ?
davout: "so if you could please register your company in that online directory that doesn't check shit whatsoever, that'd be great"
fluffypony: I wouldn't mind the cost if they processed stuff 24 hours a day and I got a cert within minutes
fluffypony: where can I get a domain validation cert that allows 4096-bit or 8192-bit? don't want an EV or OV cert
mircea_popescu: anyway, i won't touch it now, so i guess time for publishin' archives.
mircea_popescu: people can't think.
mircea_popescu: Littlep1 i wouldn't worry too much, he already sold his guitar in 2013
pankkake: didn't apple invent it already? autocorrect without asking you
mircea_popescu: !t m x.eur
Littlep1: I didn't leave a message
mircea_popescu: yes. i don't carry private conversations with people i don't know.
Littlep1: mircea you won't remember but i sent you a Pm i think last year thanking you ^^
mircea_popescu: !t m s.mpoe
FabianB: mircea_popescu: hosting costs are not an issue, let me think about it; maybe we can do both, an mpexbot clone and kako integrating the missing commands as well (so an irc client doesn't have to rely on both)
FabianB: mircea_popescu: assbot only lacks 3 commands, if kakobrekla doesn't like to integrate them i can run an mpexbot clone, but i'd prefer the assbot route
mircea_popescu: dub: is that a fucking parallel port on mp's laptop? << some peeps are old skool like that dubsy. you wouldn't understand.
Vexual: i don't claim to be expert
cazalla: you can do quicker in oven, 90mins but veggies aren't as good
cazalla: they don't take up much room (i have a run for them so they can dig, eat grass though), cheap to feed and the meat is lean
TheNewDeal: how do you keep the numbers managable, don't they fuck like... rabbits?
TheNewDeal: reminded me of a time I invited some friends over for a meal that someone cooked for us, and one of them swallowed a goat bone (he hadn't had goat before)
TheNewDeal: can't remember what it's called at the restaurant i frequent
cazalla: don't forget the cheese naan
TheNewDeal: holy sh!t those things look nasty
mircea_popescu: i don't do pot.
mircea_popescu: then i called in the cavalry (ie, my own intel dept, english speakers that don't live there) and i was fixed up the same day.
assbot: i asked how good she sucked dick and she sent me this pic http://t.co/S1GeAKyJGn
mthreat: you wouldn't want a place without AC in december-january in buenos aires
BingoBoingo: I swear, i there s a USG agency that can't know exactly who I am... WTF am I being taxed for...
TheNewDeal: not true MP, some people don't know how to do basic calculations
BingoBoingo: Vexual: Not even on that scale yet, but... of my blogs that didn't go viral http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2013/12/14/the-failure-of-urbit-and-the-bitcoins-future-of-computing/ was probably the most popular for a reason.
BingoBoingo: If, however they don't want to drop this... Maybe I would like to be county clerk or whatever their fake bezzel job is...
BingoBoingo: Being on the edge of founeir's gangrene because docotrs don't understand bacteria, that is pain.
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Not if there is a pending case against you that just won't quit...
TheNewDeal: aren't passports relatively easy to get?
assbot: /DallasCookIL I can offer a juicy reslution, but only if you offer a GPG public key. Like http://t.co/iPs8juiF98
Vexual: i really don't know
BingoBoingo: Vexual: Only the uninitiated may tread lightly, be aren't we both initiated?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu I didn't make that bet, but I understand the sweat involved from making similar bets.
Vexual: I couldn't find uranium
benkay: <mdev> well as you said it took you awhile, and you maybe quite the clever fellow, so it could take others even longer. I just don't see the point, versus letting all participate // "all" sucks.
assbot: NBA writer /JeffZillgitt for the win with his quote sheet as if California Chrome was playing in the NBA Finals http://t.co/PpJsvFG4pP
BingoBoingo: Vircurex was money untl it wasn't
mdev: well as you said it took you awhile, and you maybe quite the clever fellow, so it could take others even longer. I just don't see the point, versus letting all participate
Namworld: Well WOT ain't all that tricky. Took me a little while. Once done I was set.
mdev: because if they want to speak they have to voice themselves, which to even do that have to join some tricky WOT thing, and if they haven't done that they have to burden another user for voice
mdev: seems inconvient when majority of the channel can't talk
mdev: nothing to be afraid of, big channels don't have anywhere near as locked system like in here, and they don't get spammed much/ever and if they do it doesn't last long
mircea_popescu: odds are taleb wouldn't think much of your understanding of odds tho
Namworld: Well that's a nice little story and all. Although it's true, odds weren't in favor of those outcomes.
mircea_popescu: "Finally, beyond the current mess, I see no way out of this ecological problem, except through that tacit, unexplainable, seasoned, thoughtful, and aged thing crystalized by traditions & religions --we can't live without charts and we need to rely on the ones we've used for millennia. Le 21e siecle sera religieux, ou ne sera pas!" << someone needs to shout bitcoin at him in such a way that he understands wtf we do here.
fluffypony: this needs a curator - multiple, disparate, dispassionate, uninterested curators don't work
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c let me know once you approve my comment so i know it hasn't just been swallowed up by the machine and can erase the pasted version i've saved just in case.
