bounce: the name popped up in a wonkblog piece I googled just now; could well be the one I read earlier. name didn'
t stick, but he got done for insider trading.

t mandate assymetry, it naturally occurs.
mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily i wouldn'
t want to be in any board where the ceo goes "well icahn just offered me 50mn, what you guys got"
Namworld: Information on the market is assymetric everywhere else, almost. I don'
t see why force it for securities.
ReutersEmily: i guess, without offering too much of an opinion since I am a journalist and not supposed to have any, i would add that the markets aren'
t fair anyway
ReutersEmily: i guess the people who think insider trading shouldn'
t be illegal argue that if you can work hard for the advantage--ie get contacts inside a company to leak you stuff or whatever, you deserve the competitive advantage?
bounce: since you're covering fraud and stuff, what do you think about this stance that insider trading shouldn'
t be illegal?
mircea_popescu: Namworld ah ? didn'
t know that. how much you still have out ?
mircea_popescu: (for instance i don'
t write out ReutersEmily every time i name you, i just type out re)
Namworld: He doesn'
t speak much at all usually. I doubt he'll talk to the press when he refuses to say anything to anyone.
ReutersEmily: hdbuck it's a fun beat but i don'
t think it's good for my blood pressure
nubbins`: he eventually decided he didn'
t live on this street, and wandered off
ReutersEmily: oh didn'
t see your handle till after i tweeted hold on i'll do another one
Namworld: No need. What I mean is, someone comes in here and ask questions, they'll probably get an answer, wether from the press or just a random stranger. Who the person actually is doesn'
t matter.
khersonus: Reuters on IRC? I can'
t decide if this is the future or the past, but I like it.
ReutersEmily: think it was a guy who couldn'
t run an exchange or an outside theft?
Namworld: On Bitcointalk forum. She tends to be very accurate, yet most often dismissed. In the end, she is usually proven right, sadly for those who didn'
t heed her warnings.
ReutersEmily: so...perhaps you don'
t want to discuss it here but i would love to know what you think of the new cyprus-based 'bank'
mircea_popescu: you don'
t have to run research it, just say no if you don'
t an' i'll explain. it's not really too complicated.
mircea_popescu: as i was pointing out to someone from i don'
t remember where yesterday,
ReutersEmily: as in - some make it through your registration process and others don'
t? or can anyone register, and then it's just sink or swim, it's a matter of whether they can attract funds?
mircea_popescu: mostly because bitcoiners aren'
t interested in fiat investments
mircea_popescu: you can'
t buy say british petroleum on nyse unless someone does a dr deal.
mircea_popescu: so i can'
t really believe it, but after being on everywhere trilema ain'
t been down.
only_: nubbins`: so Bitcoin isn'
t made for spending, huh?
Namworld: You can'
t make up stuff like that.
Namworld: Gox has now 202k BTC, officially. They also officially don'
t know how much they have at all.
mircea_popescu: unless it's a naked karpeles dancing in the streets of tokio for nickels i ain'
t interested.
Namworld: mircea, no, I'm not coding for noobs. I just give an advice about not trusting anything just because it looks good because code can'
t be audited.
Izzy_: don'
t want to clog the forum w/ my tech support needs
chetty: benkay: I haven'
t time for scfi reading much in a while, anyway real life seems to have caught up, the newspaper is mostly scifi

t type into my console

mircea_popescu: no man that can'
t be bothered to fuck the woman cares if she goes astray, srsly nao.

t bother to grab the soap so far, why'd they muddle with the rope henceforth ?

t think so

t want it to come off like that at all

t you find that chinese workers example a little bizarre ?

t accept it for trilema credits?!
mircea_popescu: if you mean, are they taking it with them, they certainly won'
t.
decimation: I don'
t have any french, only german. Google translate for me.
decimation: no. as usual, his post is overly wordy, but he is writing about bitcoin and he doesn'
t realize it
mircea_popescu: (incidentally... without mihail kogalniceanu the afghanistan retreat isn'
t even all that possible)
decimation: I don'
t think bitcoin rises high enough on the foreign policy hopper to pressure Romania
decimation: you didn'
t go to the hearing at 9am on Thursday? You could have had your say. That's democracy!
mircea_popescu: that "and" doesn'
t work. i didn'
t question anything, i asked them the traditional quo warranto.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn'
t presume to tell them how to be authoritative, i imagine they have lawyers that can sort it out.
mircea_popescu: the sec couldn'
t decide if it wants to be friends or it wants to be an authority.
mircea_popescu: it works the other way around : i don'
t argue the negative, they make the statements that establish the positive.
mircea_popescu: that's not how laws work. i don'
t declare that i broke no laws, and i don'
t contest the authority of some random person making demands.
mircea_popescu: some guy wanted me how do i know i didn'
t break any laws.
mircea_popescu: so one thing is that i didn'
t dispute the legality of the sec's request, i asked them to establish it.

t trade anything, but wanna know why the price went up or down?
Namworld: [17:12] <Namworld> You can'
t audit the code.
Namworld: [17:12] <Namworld> That's why you can'
t trust any website that comes up with a Bitcoin service. Even if it looks nice.
nubbins`: we do occasionally get requests from people who want digital prints tho, and it's kind of silly to own a print shop that doesn'
t have a color printer

t find it. Where can I send my BTC ? << shuaddup & take my precious BTC!

t indexed
HeySteve2: it can'
t seem to read my datadir any more
benkay: but your eyes aren'
t bleeding now!
nubbins`: it's fine if you want a plaintext-only website, but it doesn'

t bet much on obama not feeding preet to putin's bear. yezhov didn'
t live to grow old.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell benkay the best approach would be to systematiclaly take all assets that were listed on havelock at some point and aren'
t anymore. the total ipo dough - whatever was paid hence is the loss on that score for the naive public. then take all the dilutive issuance (where shares were later issued for less than what they asked originally) and add it.

t make out
LordPutin: don'
t hate because we have the best leader in the world
nubbins`: you're saying that you can'
