mircea_popescu: and otherwise, mpex has supported (incl with donations) all sorts of beneficial people and initiatives.

mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining mpex owns a market. some idiots keep insisting in diluting that market with obvious scams. it's her job to point this out.

mircea_popescu: dude, he said he doesn't like mpex cause there's no idiots to exploit

mircea_popescu: people that joined in time get an advantage over the ones that shittalked mpex back in the day cause "glbse is so much better"

mircea_popescu: mpex new acct fee is 30 btc now.

mircea_popescu: no, the main safe thing about mpex is that i'm a hardass.

mircea_popescu: In the unlikely case that the continuation of MPEx becomes impossible, all issuers will be provided with lists of their shareholders. A successor system would have to be constructed (either centralized or maintained independently by the respective issuers), but no information is lost : since people can still sign with their keys, it is trivial for anyone who is in fact a shareholder to identify himself as shareholder. Just to be on

mircea_popescu: 22. Even so, how would the investors be affected in the event MPEx can no longer be continued ?

mircea_popescu: Should the systems be confiscated or otherwise lost the service will failover to different systems, possibly on bulletproof hosting if need be. If sufficient pressure is put on this side MPEx will be recoded as a p2p system.

mircea_popescu: In case the domain is confiscated or otherwise lost MPEx will move to a different domain, in a different jurisdiction. Should the same happen again, MPEx would move to what will at the time be a solid alternative for a free Internet, be it the TOR network, namecoin or some equivalent DNS or any comparable solution. No government will ever be able to stop the Internet, in general. We're prepared to show this in the particular.
