took a while for Pirate
to get
to a negative rating

the game. i guess if you survive you might end up a banker or something.
JWU42: Namworld: he just posted in his
thread
JWU42: since

than

Bugpowder: I don't
trust usagi's valuation models.
JWU42: Bugpowder: yeah - I have
the BTC ready
to go and plan
to
mircea_popescu: probably cleanest

Bugpowder: "SO I believe a remedy is available

mircea_popescu: srsly, options were
this big
thing, imminent in like, July 2011.
thestringpuller: "2011 will no doubt be remembered as
the year
that Bitcoinica
took Bitcoin by storm. With leveraged
trading, playing
the Bitcoin markets went from
tee-ball
to
the big leagues, seemingly overnight. 2012, however, will
take
things
to a whole new level. Mt.Gox and
Tradehill have both hinted at
the fact

they will be unveiling futures and options markets as part of
their development plan, with Mt.Gox possibly br
Bugpowder: I really love
that photo
thread

mircea_popescu: high comedy. you can always
trust pigeon's link.
they don't contain porn in
the sense of
tit and cunt.
mircea_popescu: Why do
this? Well, any computer
that is connected
to
the internet with money on it (or bitcoins) is a
target for hackers. Keeping servers secure involves many variables and is it’s own area of study and research. Under normal conditions
this level of security should be sufficient, but payment apps are held
to a higher standard.
mircea_popescu: shows a deep, fundamental understanding of
the
truck/pipes issue.

two 16 y/o'
mircea_popescu: "Truly, I'm puzzled by Joel's defense of Mr. Starfish, especially after Patrick's default and disappearance. I can
think of few scammers in
this cesspool who are more blatant and deserve less sympathy
than Patrick."
mircea_popescu: pigeons so does it work as it's supposed and
this stuff i keep reading is basically noobish nonsense ?
pigeons: a bunch of newbs contantly beg you
to open a new coinbase account and get free btc if you hook up you bank account
Bugpowder: Wow, just finding
this classic
thread
mircea_popescu: i'm not sure i'd hold something like
that against a new service. maybe.
pigeons: what
turned me off before i even looked at
the site and saw "hosted bitcoin wallet" was
the spammy .1 btc refferal scheme
mircea_popescu: for
the other, at least in blockchain's case i have some feel of who's behind
pigeons: well it seems worse
than piuk's even cause i
think
they are just straight mybitcoin 2.0 no we dont hold your keys
tricks
pigeons: but a few said
they just loved being able
to send ach from
their bank
to a bootstrap site and get bitcoins at mygox + 1%

tubes in

the gun printing guy?
pigeons: gotta give em
that at least
mircea_popescu: i mean,
they were, yes, but not much moreso
than your average bank. whereas
the average bank still is, 10-15 years later
dub: mircea_popescu:
the shitheads responsible for bitcoinica calling mtgox negligent is funny enough by itself
pigeons: he's mostly known for renouncing us citizenship for a "not a citizen under
the blessing of slovakia" card
pigeons: he used
to maintain a bitcoin wordpress shopping cart plugin
pigeons: nothing
to do with usagi ;)
pigeons: he bought a mixer and
the motto was "get your bitcoins whiter

mircea_popescu: Fixing
the “100% CPU and no useful output” imklog+rsyslog kernel logging problem on Ubuntu guests under Xen PV

think it was
the mybitcoin nonsense when he started saying pfffh

the
time but a few years ago
mircea_popescu: Mike Gogulski (Bitcoin laundry) ? wtf is
that! i need
to knoe
mircea_popescu: dub wtf ?!
the negligence seen at mtgox happens every month with irl banks.

that really sucks as a standard
to keep internationalisation at bay.
