mircea_popescu: there's that in the current faq
pigeons: i thought about giving it to mp since he does say he keeps errors, but in law that wont hold up, thats not reasonable
mircea_popescu: DEPOSIT|{sum}, where the sum is an integer, written in BTC (note that you can not deposit less than 10 BTC). You will be quoted an exact sum, which you must send to the exchange address (1Fx3N5iFPDQxUKhhmDJqCMmi3U8Y7gSncx). Don't round anything, the decimals are there to identify you as the beneficiary. You will be credited the full amount.
mircea_popescu: jcpham it's in the old options page somewhere
mircea_popescu: again, this isn't fiat world and socialist government imposing it.
mircea_popescu: jurov no, it's not. the court isn't above the contract
mircea_popescu: wtf is that lol.
jurov: if i'd have a policy saying to clients "if you make a mistake, screw you" and there's no real reason why it has to be so, it's only reasonable the court would say "screw your policy"
jcpham: i'd like to know where the original wording is.....
dub: had to pay his fees
pigeons: any judgement involving mircea_popescu keeping something would have had to show he was being reasonable, and he wasn't
mircea_popescu: "nothing other than the fees" is btc.
dub: I took a guy to court for selling me a boat that leaked, the ruled in his favour because we didnt have anything about it not leaking in a contract
pigeons: mircea_popescu: that's absolutely the issue
mircea_popescu: but it's half the story, and not good enough.
dub: I understand how mircea_popescu feels though
pigeons: it was fair to both parties, wences was made whole, mp lost nothing other than the fees
jcpham: fairness is a relative term
dub: well then the rota wasn't what I and apparently others thought
mircea_popescu: the entire point is to have voluntary courts, which is to say, courts which can be relied on to be fair. by both parties.
pigeons: dub: that is exactly how i felt
mircea_popescu: dub the idea here is to create a new system, not to rehash the old.
mircea_popescu: no but wtf bs is this, "We are too good for the case at hand"
dub: in a real court if you forced a case to be raised, then during the hearing capitualted to the other party, the court would probably impose an additional fine on you for wasting its time
mircea_popescu: if that actually is the case, i should certainly dissolve it.
mircea_popescu: dub cheeky ruling then.
dub: no, its a ruling saying 'if you are going to enter into arbitration regarding incorrect depost amounts, do that privately'
pigeons: mircea_popescu: actually, it was reasonable in this case to resolve his mistake, that was the ruling
mircea_popescu: not by those who we identify as "the man" in our misguided quest for social justice.
mircea_popescu: not by those who are the bigger entity
mircea_popescu: not by those who have the most money.
mircea_popescu: pigeons mistakes are paid for BY THOSE WHO MAKLE THEM
jcpham: after the mistake
mircea_popescu: jurov yeah. same thing.
jcpham: especially if the user sends the correct deposit
jurov: no. it is ruling saying "it is improper for mpex to keep everything if user makes a mistake"
pigeons: and when it does happen, and you've shown mpex that you made it error, they dont fix it, hence the rota decision
jcpham: that is not true
jcpham: i see your point, but based on the details of this case
pigeons: no but it happens, especially with the weird deposit system
jcpham: i do not agree with that
mircea_popescu: basically this is a ruling saying "it is right and proper for people to disregard instructions and send anything they want to mpex"
markedathome: what would the difference have been with something like judge.me?
mircea_popescu: except in btc there's no such thing.
mircea_popescu: sorta like i'm the government, i guess.
mircea_popescu: dub it reads like mp taxing himself to create the system, and paying people to be idiots and subvert deposit process.
dub: then, he might have paid someone 10 btc to handle it
dub: aside from mircea_popescu taxing himself 10btc to handly a customer service case
dub: to an outsider reading that blog post it actually look slike the rota worked fine
jcpham: the only other option i would've entertained was for both parties to lose
dub: markedathome: he paid a 10btc fee to use the rota
dub: the idea is teh winner goes away without having lost money
dub: courts award costs to the winner, fyi
mircea_popescu: this is literally "he should get the keys, the stamps for having asked and if we could we'd have given him all paid tow weeks vacation to boot"
jurov: but in this case it's like they told me they're moving into the house, it's reasonable
jcpham: metaphorically, wences got back his own keys plus a nother set of keys to another house?
pigeons: explain that please
mircea_popescu: dub justice is apparently too prudish for me.
mircea_popescu: jurov no, you may ask for the keys back, and even get them
jurov: ^ can you at least reply to this?
dub: mircea_popescu - the first person to create his own justice system, and the first to destroy his own justice system
mircea_popescu: i think for everyone else its "o, that thing that couldn't have worked didn't ? o wow."
jurov: <jurov> mircea, so if i mismail the keys, they get to keep the house? is it what you're saying?
mircea_popescu: i doubt it has any relevance to anyone other than the ppl involved tho
jcpham: hopefully the next judges will nt be so biased
dub: maybe there will be a real case for the rota one day but it now seems unlikely
pigeons: nope we all think we are right
mircea_popescu: i dun particularly want to preserve it
jcpham: i think if you want to preserve this in posterity for all to comment on, it needs to be moved elsewhere
pigeons: nope i can only see this one page
pigeons: cause no one wants to email you to get credits to read a web page
jurov: mircea, so if i mail the keys, they get to keep the house? is it what you're saying?
mircea_popescu: why hasn't this lively debate take place in teh comment section ?!
pigeons: its the argument he gave to the deposit command
mircea_popescu: and the trouble of finding them again
mircea_popescu: for the tiome you couldn't go inside cause you didn't have your keys or w/e
mircea_popescu: then expect they pai
mircea_popescu: dude i dunno, seriously, mail your house keys to some random address
pigeons: its not fair, guy had to go through all this just to get his shit back
jurov: oh, so better take everything. i see.
mircea_popescu: jurov cause that's unfair to the poor.
dub: I think the rota did mpex a favour ruling this way
pigeons: it was a rule, but mp told him to go to rota
jurov: mircea i don't understand one thing. why you can't just set a hefty fee for resolving mistakes?
dub: its in the ToS, deal with it
dub: its easy for you to fix though, just make the rule hard and fast, no refunds
mircea_popescu: all it takes is for them to send rounded btc.
pigeons: dont they still have to win?
pigeons: i didnt creat e this
pigeons: you lost, you caused the process by not settling beforehand, so you pay the fees
pigeons: well cause you think its an error doesnt make it so
mircea_popescu: it has to be quite arrowstraight.
pigeons: well maybe we showed that, if we shilled we sure wouldnt have and you sure wouldnt have gotten any cases
Namworld: So... can I use the rota for the unclaimed giga.etf case? =P
mircea_popescu: pigeons so that you may prove yourselves as actually takeable seriously as judges
pigeons: why would the system award you anything for acting in bad faith
pigeons: why didnt you just pay him instead of making us go through this if you expected him to win?
mod6: i feel like im taking crazy pills
mircea_popescu: i expected the guy to win his 130 btc back.
mod6: its not about who won the case. its about the damn ruling.
