dub: voteban EskimoBob
tbh
jcpham: not
the other way around
jcpham: it is up
to you play by
the rules of
the exchange
mircea_popescu: nyRednek are you
trying
to resolve a problem of credibility or a problem of usability ?
nyRednek: jcpham, hence
the problem...that brokerage shouldn't be needed for a professional-looking site
jcpham: i
think
the brokerage avenue solves
the issue of ui nicely
nyRednek: because i'm a potential customer, maybe? because i'm not going
to spend a dime buying stocks on a site
that looks like it was
thrown
together in one's sleep?
mircea_popescu: problem is,
this is my first day seeing you. why does your recommendation carry weight with me ?
nyRednek: mircea_popescu, i still recommend you pay someone
to make it useable
mircea_popescu: i can appreicate
that. but it's been in business for a while you realise.
nyRednek: mircea_popescu,
this is my first day seeing it
nyRednek: mircea_popescu, you might want
to get someone with web design experience on staff...it's not exactly navigable or pleasing
to
the eye
mircea_popescu: but i don't
think it's really
the exchange's job
to do
that sort of filtering.
dub: sure accepting bitcoin is somethign different but just stick a bitpay checkout on any of
the
thousands of reseller options
dub: take a look at WHT,
the margins are
tiny
mircea_popescu: but yes, i am creating
the solutions, just, it's a little slow.
mircea_popescu: Buglouse in april
there wasn;t someone like mpex
to create a downmarket for
the half dozen or so smaller exchanges
dub: nothing
to be made in
that market
dub: personally I wouldnt
touch a vps/hosting startup with EskimoBob's
Bugpowder: let bitfunder do
the OTTBB style companies
assbot: !ticker <exchange> <ticker> (desc: returns current
ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO)
mircea_popescu: not allowing
them creates
this very unfair field for many people.
nyRednek: mircea_popescu, either way, if
the asset was lagging in
that manner, it doesn't seem like a sound investment
jcpham: i never actually used
the word imaginary...
nyRednek: mircea_popescu,
that would be a sign of a failing company, no?
mircea_popescu: if you don't,
there's always going
to be
this lead-up string. first it misses X.
then a little more.
then a little more still.
mircea_popescu: the problem here is
that you never really know what
to do. i mean, if you insta-wipe any company
that's late with divs/misses a report date you will end up causing a lot of grief for legitimate shareholders
Bugpowder: maybe I should move
to
the bluechips
jcpham: i mean i get it
that you want it
to be
Bugpowder: started
thinking... hmm... isn't
this a company run by a 22 year old
jcpham: this isn't
te real world
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder actually
the 14th extra dividend was in fact acquisition cash payment as per
the contract
jcpham: i do not know
the particulars but it does no one is doing
the accounting
Bugpowder: I new something was wrong when
they delayed
the divvy
mircea_popescu: i honestly
thought
that
the listing is probably bvps' largest asset.
there is such a
thing as a reverse ipo for instance.
jcpham: specifically
the mpex contract
jcpham: i mentioned it some
time ago
mircea_popescu: jurov i don't imagine
they really groked
the complexities of running a public company going in
jcpham: they probably need help
tbh
jurov: i seriously suspect
they're completely inept in
this
jcpham: that's close
to an attempt
jcpham: if
they are considering or entertaining
the idea
jurov: namworld came here only after i got
to #bitvps and
told
them
their PR is fail
jurov: jcpham, how exactly do
they attempt?
assbot: Provide exchange and
ticker.
jcpham: or my non-professional opinion is
that rg's name is on
the contract
jcpham: although contractually i'd say
they have none
jcpham: it seems
to me
the new bitvps owners are at least attempting
to rectify
the situation
mircea_popescu: <jcpham> i'm glad you are
taking care of it Namworld <<
to his credit he did buy a bunch of shares while
they were
trying
to acquire.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> EskimoBob, seems everything
that is crap you own a few shares. << virtuaally lol
dub: ciuciu is apparently waiting for pirate
to pay out before he refunds his 'investors'
dub: ah
the age old classic 'i know you are you said you are'
touche
dub: all
that quality usagi
trolling, now he's regressed into a rambling paranoid old lunatic barking at
traffic
dub: its a little sad
tbh
dub: I
think possibly alcoholic eskimo
Namworld: Plus since everyone using MPEx already use gpg, signing
to confirm
their key shouldn't be a problem either
dub: or a friendly eskimo with
tourettes
Namworld: Okay, it's whatever you want it
to be
then
jcpham: ^
these forum quotes are harsh man
jcpham: You forget
that
the pornographer Mircea Popescu is friend with
the rapist, check before posting.
Namworld: I'll have
to be discuss with arij & phungus
jcpham: i'd like
to see bitvps succeed
jcpham: i'm glad you are
taking care of it Namworld
Namworld: Buyback some, relist
the rest.
Namworld: We might just do
that or relist. Or both, depending on what each holder wants.
jcpham: It isn't his agreement
to honor
Namworld: But we still
talk a bit with him from
time
to
time.
Namworld: rg is gone, he just gave BitVPS away
to me, arij and phungus
Namworld: He can pass
that
to us and we'll
take care of it from
then on.
Namworld: A list of key+shares will be given
to rg
Namworld: I don't see why everyone would be fucked... or how halting
trades would change anything.
jcpham: i haven't read
the contract in many months
jcpham: i suspected
this might happen
tbh
Namworld: To start with, lack of financial statements I suppose.
Then rg selling his interest in BitVPS
jcpham: can someone link me
to
the original contract
kakobrekla: EskimoBob, seems everything
that is crap you own a few shares.
Namworld: Is what caused it
to be delisted.
smickles: oh wait, i
think i was off my a digit
smickles: i feel like it's fairly well spot on at bitfunder if deadterra were
to charge a 1% fee
to
transfer out of
the passthru
