mircea_popescu: i didn't expect to win dood.
pigeons: wow the fact that you actually expected to win is shocking
mircea_popescu: i wonder what's gonna be the next one
mircea_popescu: i think this has been discussed to it's demise
pigeons: but yeah sure looks like one to me too
pigeons: i asked prior about that inferred agreement and mp said it wasnt what it appeared to us
pigeons: it was breach of fiduciary duty, which he did breach cause he failed to take a reasonable action
dub: but in the 'case notes' there is some arbitaration and an inferred agreement to refund, so a win for the claimant is the intuitive result
pigeons: it wasnt a case against the breach of conditions
dub: at first glance this seems open and shut, he failed to utilise mpex per teh conditions he agreed to, he loses
mod6: (12:18) < pigeons> you did cause the rounded anyway, by your retarted one address deposit system << this is amazing
mircea_popescu: the fact that all btc goes to the same address means nobody's deposits or withdrawals can be traced.
mircea_popescu: lol why'd anyone bet on that ?
pigeons: you did cause the rounded anyway, by your retarted one address deposit system
mircea_popescu: yeah, well, i guess this shows why the random person, even if well meaning, can not be a judge.
pigeons: you didnt cause it, it is reasonable that you credit him
pigeons: no way you get anything of the fees when you could have settled it without rota
mircea_popescu: pigeons i didn't "cause" him to send rounded numbers dood.
dub: he got the same amount back that he spent, you lost the case, you incur charges
pigeons: you owed him 130, the fees were to be allocated, since you caused the fees, you pay them not him
mircea_popescu: dub all shit to be settled is stupid
dub: mircea_popescu: you should have thought about it before using a court to settle stupid shit
mircea_popescu: 100 times a day.
jcpham: i know 4 other people who can do the same
mircea_popescu: well tell you what, that's no way to judge.
mircea_popescu: do you plan to answer or should i just drop it ?
mircea_popescu: pigeons what happens now if you send 100.0 btc, sue, get back 100 + 10 fee + 3 for judging it ? <<< this.
mircea_popescu: you still haven't answered the above question.
jcpham: in my mind it takes little to no effort to refund someone
mircea_popescu: you know, money isn't soemthing to be redistributed to the needy. or do you ?
pigeons: 130 + 10 fees you caused him to incur
pigeons: i would have charged you more than 140 if i could have
mircea_popescu: the winner gets a fraction of 10 btc = to the % he's allocated.
jcpham: 3 judges at 3btc apiece leaves 11BTC to split in every case
pigeons: ok, winner gets his 10 back then that leaves 1
mircea_popescu: 3 judges to any trial, each gets 3 btc, for a total of 9.
dub: either mpex policy is 'you fuckup the deposit you lose it, no question' or 'don't fuckup but we may be able to fix it'
mircea_popescu: two parties to any trial. each contributes 10 btc, for a total of 20.
pigeons: we thought it came from the looser's 10
mircea_popescu: i thought i answered, but again :
pigeons: we tried asking
pigeons: where does the 3 come from
pigeons: i dont know mircea_popescu that isnt clear to me
mircea_popescu: dub : they could have allocated fractional.
dub: mircea_popescu: you appear to agree to return the funds or are at least satisfied with his signing of the message, if you had won the case would have looked even more retarded
pigeons: mp paid 9 btc to get his rota promoted and scare people into being more careful depositing because of raised awareness of the hassle of errors
jcpham: 2) if the claimant can prove ownership of said funds
mircea_popescu: dub the idea was to allocate the win neutrally.
jcpham: 1) if the claimant paid the funds
dub: so you wanted to win, then pay him back?
mircea_popescu: then getting paid for the process.
pigeons: it shows that if you expect service from mircea_popescu you better pay to sue him and win
jcpham: apparently we shit on that idea
mircea_popescu: dub because now any of the judges can start spamming my address with 100 btc payments
dub: why is the rulling against you a problem if thats what the rota is for, processing your customer service enquiries
jcpham: there is an idea that the fees represent
jcpham: it is the fees, dub
dub: look at the notes in the comments, you are agreeing to reimburse him
mircea_popescu: you're not part of the scotus, just yet. so, you know, little room to thumb nose.
dub: mircea_popescu: nah, its a dumb thing for the rota
mircea_popescu: " ? what bs is that.
jcpham: a tx fee and a lot less time could have resolved this
mircea_popescu: whence all this arrogance anwyay ?
pigeons: dub: he does if he fails to make good on the judgement
dub: that is what the whole thing is about right? judges donate their reputation to uphold the reputation of others
mircea_popescu: and in retrospect that is a wise approach.
mircea_popescu: people won't risk their money on something untried.
pigeons: i am very upset this was a rota case
dub: I think you caused this by using the rota for something so trivial tbh
pigeons: could not make someone pay to get justice
mircea_popescu: jcpham that's pretty much it. you allocated the cost of fucking up to the party that didn't fuck up.
dub: pigeons: 1) because the policy 'wences' agreed to by using mpex is clear and you ruled against that. 2) mpex would have looked a lot worse having forced the use of rota then winning
jcpham: the only thing i can possibly imagine that we did wrong was split the fees incorrectly
mircea_popescu: no. the reason is so that you people can show you can judge.
dub: pigeons: then your decision is double wrong
pigeons: dub: actually, the reason is so he can promote his rota
mircea_popescu: what did you expect, to start by considering a five million btc case ?
mircea_popescu: and they only chew what their parents bring to them
mircea_popescu: dude. kids are born toothless
pigeons: well it won't be very useful if its only used for what you bring forward to it
dub: if the guy had been forced to use the rota and lost, incurring further cost it would be even more of a joke
mircea_popescu: if we don't believe either of those it's a dead sell, no matter how hard i push it
mircea_popescu: hard enough to push the concept as it is, even if we were to believe judges are marginally qualified and someqwhat sane
pigeons: of course its a win, he either didnt have to pay, or else his rota gets promted and he pays what he owed
jcpham: other than 9btc
pigeons: but since it decided against you it isnt good policy what the rota decides
dub: I think this is actually a win for mircea_popescu
pigeons: and used the rota to back your policy
mircea_popescu: not entirely sure if that means it'll just die in a corner somewhere, but seems quite likely.
dub: mircea_popescu: that doesnt make an sense, your policy is that he would not be refunded, why would that change during a rota case?
mircea_popescu: basically yay rota, it managed to lock itself out of pretty much the only subject matter anyone thought it worthy of considering
mircea_popescu: next time someone tries that i'll just ignore it and that's the end of that story.
pigeons: i thought mircea_popescu's submission was an offer to settle without going through this, but when i spoke with him he said no
dub: mircea_popescu: it says in your sumbission that you would be prepared to pay him
pigeons: ok then the rota did its job
mircea_popescu: no, actually, i wouldn't have paid the guy.
pigeons: mircea_popescu: the problem is this isn't an organic dispute, you would have paid the guy, but you decided if you made him go through the rota you would get publicity for it
dub: it makes no sense if that is true
pigeons: i didnt mind the keep your money policy too much but he made him bring this case, and no way i can find that it is reasonable in this instance
mircea_popescu: pigeons wait, what's the problem with that exactly ?
