Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, i'll quote some trilema here : http://trilema.com/2013/regulation-for-our-lord-regulos/
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, so your point is that regulation can be suitable on a case by case basis ?
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, it does indeed
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, I'm not sure I get this, do you consider the b-a voice system as such ?
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, I don't regard the b-a voice system as a regulation mecanism
BigBitz: lol mircea_popescu :)
BigBitz: mircea_popescu wut.
nanotube: mircea_popescu: i see. i'd venture to guess they are not doing that voluntarily, so 'scam' is not quite the right word.
nanotube: mircea_popescu: got link to that former bit?
nanotube: mircea_popescu: why is bitstamp scammy? also, is there anything out there less scammy with non-piddling volume?
BigBitz: mircea_popescu I just trade for fun. Nothing fancy. Bitcoin doesn't have place for TA :)
BigBitz: mircea_popescu less feckless is less feckless.
Adlai: mircea_popescu: context. BigBitz seems to have a different definition of "scammer" than the rest of the channel
BigBitz: mircea_popescu: I agree.
Adlai: mircea_popescu: earth, of course
BigBitz: anyways... clearly there is no sane argument in reference to that, so, what's todays hot topic, mircea_popescu.
ThickAsThieves: !down ninja_alt
BigBitz: mircea_popescu I just like to know.
thestringpuller: !up ninja_alt
BigBitz: yeah mircea_popescu, I know that, but they claim (liars, potentially) that code is non-existant on their platform now.
mircea_popescu: "<mircea_popescu> some derp pounced on some code he had no rights on, then had a public split with one of his co -conspirators (also well documented in public)"
BigBitz: mircea_popescu I am happy to follow; but some context is always good.
BigBitz: Not "because mircea_popescu says so"
BigBitz: hah don't high horse on me mircea_popescu.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu if that's your rationale then how can I argue...
BigBitz: mircea_popescu I've not been around.
BigBitz: some definition required I think mircea_popescu.
mircea_popescu: ascii_on_tour> and the tor gizmo scam being exposed, will 'wired' et al. make the sc4mz0r give the free publicity back? << "free publicity" only worth something on soem chains
