kakobrekla: you know fuck you and your SI prefixes, i have
two shovels of coins.
mircea_popescu: For all
that I post here about Bitcoin, my own activities about it, and where I see it going in
the future, at
the moment I am still
truly small potatoes. 50k minicoins -
the
theoretical price of one
ticket if I
take
too long
to decide - is a large portion of my
total Bitcoin holdings.
mircea_popescu: First,
thank you for
the personal invitation. I'm flattered.
jurov: you know, equal
treatment
jurov: lol what will reception say
to horde of bitcoiners
jurov: "I did feel I wasn't
taken as seriously as
those who were wearing business dress, until
the receptionist saw my booking... "
kakobrekla: is mpoe-pr on
the invite list under some other handle?
jurov: "We will also have a private forum in 48 hours max, for
the delegates and people in
the process."
mircea_popescu: this is what something awful would be if
they had any humor
mircea_popescu: dudes if anyone is not reading
that uppity
tortilla
thread.... you're missing out.
kakobrekla: no,
the bill should be 100 instead of 120
kakobrekla: its gonna cost me more
than
that
to
try
to fix it
ezdiy: then count
the change.
twice. and check for fake bills.
ezdiy: unless
they're vietnamese
ezdiy: kakobrekla: more often
than not cashiers dont do it intentionally
kakobrekla: accually yea, a cahier ... and i was checkin
the bill cause i
though it was funny but aparently it went past me in
the heat of
the moment
iz: i know, it's dumb, when
they say "free refills", it's implied it means IN
THAT VISIT
ezdiy: the leaked version has some bugs so you can beat
the house pretty quickly,
that seems
to be fixed on bitfinex now :(
ezdiy: other
than being in ruby,
the bitcoinica code is actually pretty decent
louong: biggest
troll ever Zhoutong
rexcrypto: bitfinex is
the only bucket shop
that can do a BTC short
ezdiy: "How
to zhoutong for fun and profit"
rexcrypto: he was planning
to write
the "bitcoin book"
rexcrypto: what ever happened
to zhoutong's book ?
ezdiy: if
there is no legally binding record of
transaction
ezdiy: because btc and mtgox codes .... lol, good luck suing someone just for
that
ezdiy: kakobrekla: was
there any banking fiat lost in bitcoinica hack?
ezdiy: that would be
too dangerous
ezdiy: rexcrypto: i dont
think hes in directly
ezdiy: kakobrekla:
thats like 2 years ago
rexcrypto: the kid was chinese, right ? is it simply a coincidence bitfinex is in HK ?

jurov: i really wonder why
this happened only
to bitcoin-24 owner so far
ezdiy: kakobrekla: its not imo about
the money, but knowing
the right people
ezdiy: kakobrekla:
to get a hitman
to
the
tune 100k imo
ezdiy: i suspect only zhoutong could do
that without
throwing off people with outrageous spreads
ezdiy: rexcrypto:
the house must be constantly adjusted
to not lose money
ezdiy: rexcrypto: however its not as simple as
that
rexcrypto: isn't bitfinex using
the same source code ?
ezdiy: kakobrekla:
to get a hit?
kakobrekla: i mean how much one must owe
to get a hit
ezdiy: rexcrypto: i'd not be surprised if he's alive and well, and pulling
the strings
rexcrypto: they
took a loss during
the recent volatile market, and eat it
kakobrekla: accually im suprised
tux is still alive
rexcrypto: what happened
to
the kid ? I heard about a mysterious "investor" putting 50K
to "insure" bitfinex loans
ezdiy: you dont just run with
the money like some low life crook
ezdiy: kakobrekla: yeah,
the "hacks"
ezdiy: after
that i suspect zhoutong just asset stripped it
mircea_popescu: overall it probably never made enough
to cover
the sum
total of hacks.
ezdiy: i'm
talking before intersango
took over
mircea_popescu: there's emails leaked showing zhoutong
taking no salary because
they had losses.
ezdiy: from what i gather its been extremely profitable before it was sold
to intersango :)
ezdiy: mircea_popescu: what is interesting
the speculation which follows up
mircea_popescu: who supervised
the next
two hackjs and leaked
the code
mircea_popescu: ezdiy nah, zhoutong wriote it,
then brought it "bitcoin consultancy" "experts"
ezdiy: it made no sense
to kill it
ezdiy: i
think zhoutong was just pressed by
the circumstances
kakobrekla: zhoutong is in
the biz of stealing btc
kakobrekla: i should be getting paid for
this bashing!
kakobrekla: well, its not
the phps fault, just cause some idiots drive into a wall cars are not inheritly bad
mircea_popescu: ya i was
thinking, yet anoither kid with php doing an exchange.
Luke-Jr: jurov: eh, when did I promise
that?
mircea_popescu: "The difference between
the Valley and Eastern Europe is
that in
the Valley spammers get VC funding. Also,
the spam is beautifully designed."
mircea_popescu: (i had no idea wtf he's doing at
the
time of writing, but anyway)
