burnside: i'd just been attacked by mpoe-pr over security issues, and it came up
that mpex if you lose your key you're f'd.

to come across like such a dick on your coinbr
thread
mircea_popescu: hm so
that post pays off, i have like 3 ppl wantign
the job already
jcpham: i can't imagine any entity with more
to dispose of
jcpham: they have
taken in a lot of coins
mircea_popescu: tho you have a point, a bfl-bitpay
tandem collapse is certainly conceivable.
mircea_popescu: i like
to imagine
they just process and
that way
they'll live forever.
jcpham: i just wonder who's in control of
those coins and how
they make it back
to market
mircea_popescu: that he can code a clone
to X and
that he can "play
the market".
mircea_popescu: moreover, any random geek
things
two
things of himself
mircea_popescu: jcpham if
they
try
to play
the market uninsured
they are doomed.
mircea_popescu: depends if you count btc or usd and how narrow you cap
things
jcpham: and
then simply hold
the btc
jcpham: if
they have
the financial fiat backing
to process directly in fiat
jcpham: after
the BFL asic announcement,
they were seeking buyers off
the exchange
jcpham: see i understand bit-pay as a payment processor
that acts in fiat
jurov: does anyone know how much all
the asic companies raised? it's pirate-level or less?

jcpham: the bulls have
taken over gox
mircea_popescu: what people don't realise is
that btc is a lot like s.dice
jcpham: nad gox starts
to dry up

the asks got even shallower
jcpham: if people keep sending coins
to gox
to sell,
that is

to stop for sure

imsaguy: Unless he now
types using psychokinesis
jcpham: EskimoBob_afk i
think you may be a larger fanboi
than me
pigeons: actually
that was a common legal issue and it is ALWAYS resolved
that no matter
the afreement if you can fix a problem like
that easily you are required
jcpham: i'm not upset. i just
think it should be made
the clear
the rota shouldn't be deciding moral debates about customer service
pigeons: mircea_popescu directly
told wences
to use
the rota instead of settling it
jcpham: indecision is
the lack of action
jcpham: the person who....requested all of
this.....either directly or indirectly....and
their reaction
jcpham: it isn't decision
to reverse blockchain
transactions
jcpham: let's be clear:
the blockchain is in fact permanent imho
jcpham: and behind door number
three are 3 strangers making moral decisions
jcpham: but what happened was door number
three
jcpham: the choices were a) yes return
the money b) no do not
jurov: was not so far from
truth
jurov: lol i
told mircea maybe first rota case will be about "mpoe-pr is public nuisance" cause it falls into its scope
jcpham: the blockchain predetermined it. he asked
the rota
to make a moral decision
jcpham: it's mircea_popescu discretion
toreturn funds
pigeons: well you can use
the rota but even if you pay
the judges and neg rate
them for ruling you should return someone else's funds you may still lose
thestringpuller: BBET is more profitable
to run bets on as a business
than investing in
the stock
jurov: doh, making my own exchange would be easier
than
this
jurov: or s.bbet... and coinbr users match each other's orders, causing new bugs
to pop up
thestringpuller: wow money is being
taken out of mpex and placed into s.dice
jurov: or you'd have
to lower
the bet limit considerably
Namworld: So I'd have put
the coins on some stock of fiat stock exchange.
Namworld: I'd chose all
the risks, all
the rewards
Namworld: I'd have
taken
the risk and just get all for myself.
Namworld: Well for SatoshiDice,
the coins were not needed.
Namworld: So I suppose I don't regret
the IPO.
Namworld: Which means rg wouldn't have invited me
to
take over BitVPS with arij and phungus
Namworld: Plus I wouldn't have bought shares or known rg at all without
the IPO.
Namworld: Well I didn't do it... and in
that case, it financed rg's business actually, funds were needed.
Namworld: It's almost just me posting updates every month or
two
