ThickAsThieves: i cant see how
they could have any real authority or business in other people's bitcoin matters
mircea_popescu: i guess it unwittingly worked out like
that or something.
ThickAsThieves: the court
thing seems more like a court of public opinion, isn't
that
the worst kind
maximian: you're so obsessed with MP
that you''ve gone insane
maximian: EskimoBob and
this abc523 guy from Reddit both have Mircea Popescu Derangement Syndrome
ThickAsThieves: probly asking
too much, but why is
there a court at all?
mircea_popescu: follow
the links, it's prolly 10`000 words at
the least.
mircea_popescu: truffles o,
that was some drama you missed out on i guess, with
the rota and whatnot.
ThickAsThieves: I'm a little out of
the loop, but so far it seems like
the only accusation on mp is
that he isn't kind
to people he doesn't like, is
that right?
truffles: so whyd peopel invest with at
theif!
truffles: so much
to read so little
time
truffles: reading
the n....homeowners...
truffles: "Incoming Bitcoin
that doesn't exactly match a quoted sum will be simply kept, reported as profits and distributed
to MPEx shareholders." small scale scam?
mircea_popescu: im curious what happens once
they're done agreeing with each other.
truffles: "given
teh horrendous owner" hehe
truffles: oh my need
tough skin for
this business im gonna say
mircea_popescu: no miner, no asic vaporware peddler, no etc on
that list.
mircea_popescu: just wait
till
they discover
that
there's precisely
two businesses in btc
that made over 10k last month.
mircea_popescu: "I was
thinking a real bet could be on
the valuation of MPEX. I believe it's worth a lot less
than $10 million. I'd have
to investigate further, but given
that MPEX has under 200 users, and is likely illegal, notwithstanding
the fees and
the horrendous owner,
that it would be worth substantially less
than $10 million."
thestringpuller: blame america and it's leadership for
that, not capitalism :P
thestringpuller: the stocks never lie, lets see what
the shadowy investors of s.mpoe
think
throughout
the day
mircea_popescu: YOU ARE
THE OPPOSITE OF
THAT. I HATE YOU. GO DIE FUCKER."
maximian: He happens
to make us a shit-wad of money - my favourite kind of digusting little shit!
truffles: not enough hours in
the day, so much
to do!
truffles: unless he considers
them stupid ppl
truffles: mircea got lots of ppl
to debate him now great
thestringpuller: Bugpowdurr is a neurosurgeon, i was getting a degree in bioinformatics. Biochemistry is one of
the most fascinating
things in
the universe non?
thestringpuller: If you want clear evidence of
the insanity,
the Apple Store requires
that you register with govt if your app uses any crypto (including
https, some people ignore
that but some have written blog posts about
trying
to follow
the rules) UNLESS your app is for banking/financial
transactions,
then you are exempt from registering and providing algos, code, descriptions, etc of your app's use of crypto. Figure
that one
pigeons: i'm going
to start calling ipods "walkman" now just cause i know apple people will like
that
mircea_popescu: i
think
the onlysony item i ever owned was a walkman back in like 85
maximian: I mean, I have no idea if
the CEO of Sony is a fucking asshole, and I don't care, but I still buy
their stuff now and
then
mircea_popescu: well
that's because
they
think
that
the owner of a business didn't make
that business.
maximian: It is interesting
that people actually care whether or not
the owner of a business is a nice guy
maximian: That reddit
thread made me giggle like a country moron… highly entertaining
pigeons: i dont
think
ther eis disagreement with
the people are stupoid part, its
the conclusion
that
therefore
they should die
that brings
the fun
thestringpuller: simply put,
the people are only as stupid as
the current leadership
thestringpuller: dragon army was full of stupid people before ender
trained
them
pigeons: mp is suprised
that when he says stupid people should die, people
take his bait
mircea_popescu: i wonder if
that reddit
thing goes over 100 comments of pure spazz
pizzaman1337: ok, just checking
to make sure MPEx wouldn't do it for you...
pigeons: manually borrow
the shares from someone
pizzaman1337: looks like somebody cashed in
their S.DICE gains
pigeons: i
thought
they mutilated cattle
mircea_popescu: right,
there's what, 20k btc lying around at
the moment ?
mircea_popescu: "Edit: NO ONE SHOULD
TRUST MPEX WITH 50000. Just using as an example. I wouldn't
trust MPEX with 5 cents personally."
jurov: HE CLOSED
THE WEBSITE AND
TOOK ALL SHARES
jurov: it got me... reading
these quite reasonable replies and suddenly on
the bottom,
this
jurov: hahahahaha Nefario
the CEO has been detained by
the SEC for fraud, closing
the website and
taking all of
the investors money and shares.
mircea_popescu: or
to quote
the pr chick, " it's hard
to believe
these assholes are so upset at
the idea
that someone else is an asshole... actually, it makes perfect sense doesn't it."
awkorama_: mircea_popescu: I
take it you don't like reddit much.
mircea_popescu: i wonder what reddit will do once
they discover
that added
together
they all mean nothing at all.
awkorama_: still doesn't answer
the question,
though
pigeons: no
that was up arrow from
talking
to usagi earlier
jurov: jeeeez,
thee's a scammer bet on me? where?
pigeons: if enough people bet you wont, just scam and get
the
tag so you win
the bet ;)dont forget service fee ;)
jurov: and
they'll have
to do it
till Feb 15
jurov: prolly i add a field
to enter
their btct username
jurov: pigeons, i'm
thinking how
to proceed with coinbr users
jurov: for delisting of S.BVPS and moving
to btct
pigeons: sounds like you give your signed statement
to burnside and he matches it with a list he got from MP or Namworld and gives you shares?
Namworld: Well I guess I'll be off
then. Night everyone.
Ukto: weird, usually
thats me. lol
Namworld: Why is it limited
to 4 digits anyway?
Namworld: the fact you can't enter more
than 4 digits after
the dot... kind of doesn't support S.MPOE-PT for pricing.
Namworld: I expect price
to climb back
to .007 later and would certainly like
to sell another batch
then
Namworld: I will need
to
transfer
that quickly
to MPEx if I'm
to buy more share.
Namworld: You can mail it at
the email seen on BTCT.co
Ukto: anyawys, i'm
tired. prolly going on for nothing. just
trying
to give some ideas
to make life easy
Ukto: so
the gpg stuff, user just has
to sign a simple msg, and fingerprint should match
Ukto: well, i guess your sending
the share amuont + fingerprint
Ukto: i mean, how would Namworld verify
their shares manually?
mircea_popescu: it has
to be said, you know ?
this regurgitated fake consensus of "o, everyone's speshul" is inadequate
to explain
the complexity of reality.
Ukto: bah, a little js "fill in
the fields and do X"
mircea_popescu: Ukto prolly a little difficult cause people might not get
the syntax right
Ukto: then again, if
theres not
that many holders, its not a big deal I guess
