the patrickharnett/jonathan ryan owens scam right?

that large is always goingto have activist shareholders going at it.

the founders and drill
the shit out of

they pass, and if

them
Diablo-D3: splnkr: actually, I _can_ predict
the future

pigeons: today i have been using coinbase
to refer
to coinbase and coinlab
to refer oinlab
mircea_popescu: isn't coinlab run by
the same people who run coinbase ?
Diablo-D3: did asicminer just push out
the real dividend?
pigeons: coinbase was giving out .1 btc for account refferals when

the rising price killed

to point
to some funky WURM online game
pigeons: yeah
they are offering
tools no one wants or needs
splnkr: i'd say
the real question isn't whether coinlab can deliver but whether wall street will bite
pigeons: coinlab used
to say
they had "lots" of hpc clients lined up for gpu mininers work, anytime i
tried
to get details
the answer was "lots of people pay for password cracking" and
that work obviously never showed up so i question
their honesty as well
