BingoBoingo: bounce: They used "features" that weren't really implemented
asciilifeform: bounce: not because the thing isn't a turd - it is - but it is then necessary to explain why other people's coins have stayed put.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if this business actually existed, it couldn't rely on 'naturally-occurring' wars.
benkay: if padishah_emperor hasn't found mpoe on his/her own...
benkay: well with a softball pitch like that why wouldn't he
benkay: and you also didn't tabulate and chart your claim, but that's neither here nor there.
assbot: I don't know those people, and they don't look very friendly.
asciilifeform: once again, i can't say that this scenario is impossible. just that it includes an extraordinary level of 'personal attention' from bureaucrats who would normally rather play tetris
mircea_popescu: suppose you're the only one who doesn't.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, but contractors aren't physical persons, they're legal persons, and that rule does exist.
asciilifeform: but there isn't an official 'humans must keep cash in a bank' rule atm.
mircea_popescu: they then proceed me to tell me that they can pay some, but can't tell me how much.
mircea_popescu: they tell me they can;t.
mircea_popescu: they tell me they can't.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so then what part of "not allowed" don't you follow ?
ThickAsThieves: i missed something, why can't someone withdraw their money?
mircea_popescu: and you can't take the cash out.
mircea_popescu: no, you can't.
mircea_popescu: you can't instruct them to pay you in cash.
mircea_popescu: like you know, some people don't wear dockers, because they're not social justice warriors, the women they fuck don't even know what dockers are, etc.
asciilifeform: somebody explain the mindfuck from earlier. the 'check cashing shop' thing isn't a straight scam?
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure eventually people will, just this bs "o we're the sec/jpm/herpdiderp, we don't need no stikinin' obedience to bitcoin" will have to be either crushed or dissolved first.
mircea_popescu: and the forums i wouldn't advise anyone to read, unless they had mastered both the topic and internet stuff.
ThickAsThieves: yeah, "go read the logs and the forum" isn't quite realistic anymore
mircea_popescu: floating in my head doesn't want to come out
jurov: and BingoBoingo, don't forget to feature >1y old vircurex screenshot from archive
Neil: Don't really want to restart the convo of 24hrs ago, but I'll just point out that our friend http://bitbet.us/stats/16tAoe9PWgyncvCRxjtisPiNy9Pbcrqsgf/ has done simultaneous bets on both sides of several bets. *Every* 2-way bet that has resolved so far has been a loss for him, often substantially so.
moiety: ;; later tell MisterE nah, the original James Bond to me is Roger Moore; modern Bond Pierce Brosnan/Daniel Craig equally. I can't take Sean Connery seriously after the film with the flying penises, not to mention his ever exaggerated accent :P
benkay: h/t
BingoBoingo: It isn't a problem of lacking the ability to, they lack the humor
BingoBoingo: They can't make it

asciilifeform: i can't help but think of the 'derp' from that tale, when i see the word, because - believe it or not - i heard it there before elsewhere.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=herp | Herp. The prefix of "derp". Usually used when saying something foolish. Person 1 : Does anybody know why I can't get my TV to turn on? Person 2: Try plugging ...
asciilifeform: t vanish - but it was reduced to choosing from that which had already been created. Figuratively speaking, we no longer grow grapes. We send for a bottle from the cellar. People who carry out this task, we call "sommeliers."
benkay: couldn't possibly predict where the sweet stuff is.

moiety: "a fresh start (rather than importing the old Full Disclosure member addresses)", ie. he wasn't allowed them
asciilifeform: moiety: 'so you aren't fond of cats? / then we are coming to you!'
BingoBoingo: MisterE: The thing is coyotes don't make sounds like either dogs or cats, they hoot like owls
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the common factor isn't the sham, but the lack of any serious desire on the part of the shammed to probe deeper.
mircea_popescu: the fact that they can't apportion the sent btc to the various users is the problem
benkay: no shit they signed from an addy that wasn't that to which their 600 missing were sent?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i imagine it's coming, but it wouldn't have worked in this case.
mircea_popescu: the fact that i can't univocally resolve their claims is the problem, and decoying it doens't breed confidence.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform interesting, these aren't really cats, more like leopards.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well coyotes aren't that big and I haven't seen them in packs here.
BingoBoingo: Well, coyote handling doesn't involve putting hands to coyotes either
asciilifeform: these aren't housecats, though.
nubbins`: adolf_fishler: no you won't, she doesn't like rice

moiety: actually if you thought funny games was disturbing, don't watch cache
nubbins`: recommend a movie for adults that isn't about honda civics
nubbins`: i guess i didn't spec it out enough
nubbins`: "this isn't right. it isn't even wrong"
mircea_popescu: it's more that you can't figure out what it doesn't make sense about.
mircea_popescu: it's not that it doesn't make sense
nubbins`: the mint doesn't fuck off with these "9x% sold out!" emails
nubbins`: so my folks don't like their neighbours. the kid just got hauled off in a cop car. mom sez:
nubbins`: i don't know what that means
mircea_popescu: yeah they can't act
mircea_popescu: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CD0QtwIwAw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.secretservice.gov%2Fjoin&ei=9CEyU9nLH82shQf-toCIBg&usg=AFQjCNE_cmlK613EqMnFHoIjvZgI30-x-Q

Apocalyptic: doesn't contradict the fact you may be a broker
dexX7: re wired: wasn't this mcmillan guy the one who was here a few days ago?
pankkake: I don't qualify for this
mircea_popescu: the problem with this, of course, is that it doesn't actually work.
jurov: yall don't understad. They are Proudly Officially Recognized for once!
bounce: that can't be right
mike_c: hm, gribble doesn't support it anyway
mike_c: that's weak. it does measurements for you. i guess timezones aren't as popular
benkay: and the service ain't that great anyways so fuck 'em.
