Ukto: there is a huge list of illegal
things, and much larger list of items
that are 'gray areas'
that could be used
to make 'legal seeming
things' illegal.
Ukto: "There is no such
thing as "legal"."
Ukto: she got real serious during lunch once. and said "I can put you in federal prison for 5 years for eating

mircea_popescu: Under plea agreement discussions
that were never finalized by a judge, and
that occurred in February 2011 before Stuart was charged with any crime, Stuart says New York authorities pressed him
to install a backdoor in his software and distribute it
to clients so
the data of gamblers and bookmakers could be retrieved.
mircea_popescu: Stuart asserts
that New York authorities only came after him because
they wanted
to use him as a conduit
to uncover illegal gambling operations in
that state. He says
the New York district attorney’s office
tried
to strong-arm him into a plea agreement
that would have had him hacking into
the systems of his software clients in order
to obtain
the usernames and passwords of gamblers and
their bookmakers

mircea_popescu: and
this is so because securing webservers is complex and expensive and you really don't want
to do it multiple
times if it can be helped
Ukto: your just mad because one has porn, and refuse
to use
the one without ?
Ukto: StarenseN:
they are both
the same
thing..
they both
talk
to
the actual mpex server
mircea_popescu: just so my servers face
the internet
through a single webserver
mircea_popescu: just like your
traffic at home goes
through your isp's proxy
mircea_popescu: there is a webserver which is pretty well secured for
this purpose, which conduits your communications.
Ukto: are you
that offended by it?
StarenseN: under your related domain
that is also existing for MPEX
Ukto: kakobrekla already
told you
StarenseN: that's ok, but why don't you dedicate ONE server for
the stock market
jurov: Ukto, go
to bitcointalk and write somewhere "I started new exchange, cause i can't use mpex cause
the porn is
too pixelated"
mircea_popescu: taaki
tried
to get my site offline by complaining
to anyone and everyone about "child porn"
mircea_popescu: the porn in question is older on
the internet
than btc itself, and
than any other bitcoin service
mircea_popescu: StarenseN if you want
to
take it
that way, it's proof of strength.
jurov: perhaps should update
the frontpage stuff
to make it clear
jurov: anybody: coinbr.com doesn't require invitations anymore,
they are useful for affiliate payments
jurov: kuzetsa: coinbr alleviates
the need
to pay for mpex account, plus adds user interface and bookkeeping... wouldn't say it's weird :)
Ukto: what wrong with
the porn?
StarenseN: mircea_popescu, i'm about
to invest in
the stock market but please explain me what's
the f*** is wrong with
the Porn hosted on
the same domain ?
mircea_popescu: they owned blockexplorer cause
that was kept mostly academicly, no serious effort
mircea_popescu: there;s certainly space in
the market for more
than one blockchain.info
kakobrekla: so users would be able
to ensure at least some level of service quality
Bugpowder: mircea_popescu : yeah I'm sure Erik loves seeing
that story.
Ukto: who wanted
to use
them as a payment gateway?
Bugpowder: I LOVE
that
the S.MPOE
trading bot has now moved over
to
trading S.DICE
mircea_popescu: "This means
that
the biggest risk of our project is gone and our NRE is a fruitful spend."
mircea_popescu: and
the fact of
the matter is
they could have dealt with or w/o btcjam
mircea_popescu: i suspect pigeon's loadning
to jurov will probably be half or a
third of
the actually repaid loans
Namjies: But I didn't want
to push my luck
too much
tho. It's almost just like gambling.
Namjies: If you can get 95% repayment rate, with
the interest, you'd end up in
the green.
mircea_popescu: The current repayment rate is aprox 77%, if you
think dice games are better
than
this please stay away of peer
to peer lending sites.
kakobrekla: but
the 'interests' rate on sidce are better
mircea_popescu: but
to anyone suspecting
this was an ellaborate ploy : if
the guy is
this good...
