to just hold
the damn coins
dub: Im
thinking slim
to no fucking way
jcpham: and are
there 8 bitcoins
to a bytecoin
dub: whats
the chance of dice going back over IPO price?
jcpham: what
the crap is a bytecoin
[\\\]: mircea_popescu: you weren't supposed
to notice
dub: are
there more pics or just
the luke-jr fakes?
mircea_popescu: they demo'd a box of fans and
then
their board is passive cooled ?!
mircea_popescu: so im looking at
the bfl asic and all i can
think of is
pgp: reagrding his 3rd point... aren't
there plans
to possibly prune
the blockchain?
jcpham: last paragraph: Conclusion. With all
that said, I
think
there’s a good chance
that Bitcoins will continue
to appreciate. I still have
the majority of
the Bitcoins I bought in early 2012 and I plan
to hold onto
them for a while
to see what happens.
jcpham: ok so
the link,
the name of
the article is "4 reasons you shouldn't buy bitcoins"
[\\\]: hold its head under
the water long enough, it'll drink
[\\\]: either willingly or once it passes
the hell out
pgp: you can lead a horse
to water
jcpham: there was an article from
this week where Mark basically says mtgox wants coinlab
to handle
the US,
they don't want
to fool with anything in
the US
pgp: i've met with him several
times...
[\\\]: and mtgox will be
the btc exchanger
[\\\]: coinlabs is attempting
to be
the USD exchanger
pgp: bitfloor is a good
tech all around, but one man show is a problem
[\\\]: so
then
to indicate what
they are doing is a bit premature
jcpham: dub i
think everything is
the answer
[\\\]: they aren't doing anything at
the moment
jcpham: there's always bitfloor. you can sell coins for anything over
there
jcpham: once your new overlords
tell you what you can ant do, everything will be fine
pgp: so far coinlab is all
talk
jcpham: thank god for coinlab amirite
trollface
[\\\]: jcpham,
that ain't soap
pgp: it's
the color of money
mircea_popescu: which
turns out
to be critical when idiocy like
the recent bubble strikes.
mircea_popescu: the fact
they suck creates a lot of friction, which insulates us
mircea_popescu: but anyway : i will dare say
that a functioning exchange would be a serious problem at
this point.
mircea_popescu: jcpham because he helps bitcoin be more like
the shithole he lives in
dub: mircea_popescu: it helps me breath up all
the white mans air
jcpham: luke-jr i want
to defend you on
the forums sometimes
Luke-Jr: if
they've put
the effort into faking it, I'll be pretty pissed at having
to write new drivers
jcpham: i can't come up with
this gold
dub: not
that I have a problem with
that in reference
to MPEX, you don't want
those 80% but an alt gox needs critical mass
Luke-Jr: jcpham: love your
trolling, claiming my ASIC is fake
jcpham: i
think he referring
to someone
dub: mircea_popescu: it would
take a gyppo with PR
that doesnt alienate 80% of potential custies
jcpham: bfl shipping delayed: out of box
tape
jcpham: posting fake asic pics on
the internets
dub: all it
takes is someone
that isnt a) an existing scammer b) from russia
to create an alternative
jcpham: i'm sure i can just pick some
thing
bgupta: so
trades appear
to slowly be going
through, just websockets are down
dub: mircea_popescu:
they will move if
they can never access gox again
jborkl: the best exchange is in
the us actually- imo
pgp: anybody have any insight
to
the coinlab
terms?
dub: hopefully
they stay dossed long enough for a real exchange
to open
dub: and in bitcoin
that is
the best place
to feed
dub: thats hardly a burden,
they hold btc unitl court ruling
jborkl: oh yeah, I forgot
they still have
those
mircea_popescu: whereby
they have a bunch of bitcoinica funds which
two parties are disputing in nz and ca
mircea_popescu: currently
they're also involved into a mess not of
their making
jborkl: hen I signed up(right after
the hack)
they gave me a free yubikey- free shipping
pgp: accross
the uruls on camelback?
dub: you missed
tux being a pompus bag of dicks
mircea_popescu: they offered
the
theory
that
they don't need licensing because bitcoin
mircea_popescu: taub had a bank account in france, french authority investigated
them
taub: more on
that EU escape story?
mircea_popescu: then
the high prices high volumes hit, now
they're making enough
to be an actual business.
mircea_popescu: they were marginally profitable once btc went over 10 again, but barely enough
to dig investors out of
their equity hole
mircea_popescu: plus making a narrow escape from
the EU for not having banking licenses)
mircea_popescu: this put him in
the red all
through 2012 (plus some hacks and other unsavory shit, plus
taking over hacked stuff like a polish exchange
mircea_popescu: used
this
to get offices, hire some employees, get some real servers, etc.
mircea_popescu: tux
then proceeded
to get hacked, which may or may not have been
the fake account
they used
to house
trade, but anyway btc got sold down
to 0
mircea_popescu: tux proceeded
to get hacked, lose
the entire email base,
to
this day
these emails are spammed.
mircea_popescu: was basically given away
to
tux because of legal concerns.
mircea_popescu: started about a year after btc as an outgrowth of a game cards
trading
thing owned by
the guy now doing ripple.
jborkl: no, it made
them a massive
target
pgp: I see - success basically caught
these guys with
their pants down
