t penalize specific shareholders for that
mike_c: i didn'
t figure out the algorithm.
Mats_cd03: seriously what is this 19:50:13 mircea_popescu: tumbler, an great bitbet but use how properly this so a much is in purpose, moreover isn'
t for to trivial how designed is on showing this anyway, it as any service exercise

t strive for efficiency in your process in the first place...

t have a lambo. afaik that's bitpay
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves expenses aren'
t really that centralised. i mean which lines ?
antephialtic: <JuicyGrabs> I didn'
t "lose" anything because I don'
t invest for short term and to be swayed by trolls and paid shills. I used this chance to buy more.
jurov: lol that's like "make sure you don'
t disclose anything to secret agent"
mircea_popescu: "The Bitcoin community will surely learn a number of lessons from the Mt. Gox disaster, and here is a simple one: when investing in Bitcoin, make sure the guy you're trusting with your money doesn'
t have a secret past committing fraud. Even if that means finding someone who knows French."
davout: it doesn'
t refer to entrapment but more to the cell itself

t really an oh. much more acute.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` the part i don'
t understand are the bottom left buttons. an d and an a ? whay ?

t be surprised if he was also deep into the karpeles thing, he was looking into a flight to go to japan from cyprus through dubai and couldn'
t find connecting flights at dubai
antephialtic: just sayin, whatever the issue is, it isn'
t solely with havelock
locksmith: I haven'
t called scam. all I'm saying is that they got to a point where they can'
t pay back their creditors. i.e. they owe over 150,000 euros to their marketing/pr firm Telia & Pavla BBDO
locksmith: I'm an uninvolved observer as well but have 2 individual sources within Neo. the hard truth is that for the past week the employees could not get ahold of DB, and their paychecks will probably not be met for the month of March (they haven'
t been paid yet from what I know)
mircea_popescu: locksmith hopefully they don'
t keep on with this or else maged might ban newsit.com.cy
mircea_popescu: wouldn'
t it be ironic if neobee ends up getting more press for free now than they got back when they were paying for it ?
VanCleef: well 10 chinese bitcoiners did get executed today by the chinese gov, i don'
t think they're laughing
mircea_popescu: there's a reason we don'
t trust the bitcoin scam foundation bunch.
pLambert: Isn'
t that how you get rich, byy acting like scrooge? ;)
antephialtic: i've tried before, but after 3 (uninformed) guesses, the account got temporarily locked. Seems pretty reasonable to do over a long period of time (assuming gmx isn'
t smart enough to stop it)
nubbins`: antephialtic: as someone who's into g.g. marquez, i don'
t mind sentimentalism or surrealism ;D
nubbins`: you don'
t HAVE TO write your critics into subsequent novels as micro-dick diddlers either :D
jurov: as long as the problem don'
t cause mass migrations, it's fine
mircea_popescu: antephialtic there's reasons we don'
t trust coinbase after all.
nubbins`: trying to make the best of this april 1, the weather isn'
t helping
antephialtic: anyways, its just alarming because the full name stuff is apparently real and doesn'
t seem possible to have been acquired by the email enumeration attack
nubbins`: don'
t i just feel silly for shovelling a walking path down the middle of my street
antephialtic: I don'
t have any funds in coinbase, but they are a major point of centralization
antephialtic: and offered to give password hash + last 4 digits of credit card if I pm'd him my email (which I didn'
t)
cads2: she couldn'
t connect the idea of someone really smart with the image of someone really socially inept
mircea_popescu: it didn'
t last so long, and of course for "very good reasons" (tm)
mircea_popescu: im sure when law was writing it wasn'
t directly obvious that the thing'll end up as a welfare scam either.
mircea_popescu: antephialtic well your friend won'
t irc and i'm not about to argue with anyone on twitter, so i guess that's that.
mircea_popescu: what i dislike is a bunch of fucktards going around with money that isn'
t theirs, muddying things up.
mircea_popescu: not that people can'
t rehash the ancient arguments re the importance of the church and present them de novo in favour of the state.
antephialtic:
t'll lead to a future consolidation of wealth, extremely low levels of social mobility and weak economic performance compared to countries that use a more mixed method. From a competition viewpoint this is not a good position."
antephialtic: I don'
t think cryptocoins will make the world any more egalitarian. Probably less so, as their widespread use would deny the state a lot of tax revenue
mircea_popescu: when people go to war, they couldn'
t care less about foreign markets or whatever the fuck.
antephialtic: yes, but many merchants don'
t know much about how bitcoin works
mircea_popescu: antephialtic most neckbeards make excellent worhorses. doesn'
t mean anyone would want them i nthe house.
BingoBoingo: I really don'
t see the point of cross posting to the Thermos forum, if the aim is killing the pretense of its relevance
mike_c: even that would be better, because at least quora wouldn'
t have all the shit. but bitcointa.lk does have all the shit too!
mike_c: 50 people posting exclusively on a forum could draw traffic, but i don'
t believe it works when the content is forwarded to the competition.
mircea_popescu: i personally don'
t think there's any value in the forum format, but hey.
mircea_popescu: honestly i don'
t see why .lk can'
t be used for exactly this purpose.
tg2: why couldn'
t the otc/vouch system work for a forum?
kakobrekla: i guess you all will be wearing shoelacesless shoes by
t he conference.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: was that shorthand for "that's what i'm doing with .lk"? i don'
t think that works, because the high quality content you influence to go to .lk also ends up in their forum. it's not competition.
mike_c: and it can'
t be on b-a :) bad juju
antephialtic: on basic principles of bitcoin. to eliminate people who aren'
t capable of learning, and to make sure that people who get in aren'
t asking the most basic of questions
mircea_popescu: antephialtic the problem with any exam that doesn'
t also include a firing squad is that it creates a class of niggers.
mike_c: you can'
t have an entrance exam. everybody starts off stupid.
mike_c: i think it is admirable to try to provide a path out of there through mpoe-pr, but if they don'
t want it..
nubbins`: kakobrekla i much prefer it this way, don'
t fix it
nubbins`: mircea_popescu:fifty lines ? you babies up weren'
t starving
mike_c: i don'
t think they got that far in penetrating the consumer consciousness.
mircea_popescu: interesting argument tho, re "the awareness that won'
t go away".
bounce: didn'
t get big enough before failing
mircea_popescu: person 1 : "I personally don'
t believe that Neo&Bee is a scam, but very well said. Just becuase there is an easier way to steal money that the scammers passed up doesn'
t mean it's not a scam."
Jason: mircea_popescu: i do, but i can'
t take it online yet
Jason: mircea_popescu: doesn'
t work since i'm banned :-P
Jason: ThickAsThieves: that's what i'm trying to do. they won'
t tell me what i did for 'security reasons' :-p.
Jason: won'
t even let me email them. :p
Jason: blackwhite: can'
t initiate the email
Jason: blackwhite: as I remember it, in 2013 they didn'
t have phone support?
Jason: blackwhite: well, my account was banned in 2013 for being 'high risk'. when I contacted support, they simply didn'
t respond to me. luckily, all of this happened before I switched my entire business to Square (my account was several months old, though). had I of completely switched to Square before I was banned with no explanation, it would have probably ruined my business.
artifexd: That doesn'
t surprise me in the least.
benkay: i don'
t know man. i think relationship with this client calls for a little subtlety
pankkake: getting fired isn'
t hard either
pankkake: benkay: why not? unless you don'
t have enough to pay the bills
