Ukto: i turned my gpu off a few days ago
jcpham: thank god for the shares i have left at coinlab
jcpham: gpu mining is for the birds
mircea_popescu: prolly next year that.
jcpham: I'm not really going to be happy about bitcoin until I have the balling asics
gigavps: mircea_popescu the contract is for bitcoins, that is not changing
Ukto: its teh best! :P
Ukto: just use excel to store all your data and track it
gigavps: but i use sublime text for the most part
mircea_popescu: it was just this btc thingee ?
mircea_popescu: now that you're all in written form. what do you do, explain the court that you in fact DID pay
mircea_popescu: i gotta see this thing.
gigavps: mircea_popescu i'm writing the software to handle this now....
mircea_popescu: so you are going to pay btc weekly ?
gigavps: i'm not really fond of people who can talk for days on end....
jcpham: mine too
gigavps: my wife does say that my style of communication is to offer less and wait for questions
Ukto: now _everyone_ can take teh knifes off of everyones throats, and relax a bit
mircea_popescu: and didn't care to stir the pot.
mircea_popescu: gigavps i did notice you never actualyl said what you were doing with the claims once complete, so i figure it's because it's the obvious thing
Ukto: gigavps: well, now that things are working out, lets play nice :P
Ukto: thats been the whoel odeal that ppl have been confused on I think
mircea_popescu: it's how something lik this is usually unwound.
Ukto: yes, hes trying to do it as "right" as possible
mircea_popescu: i thought you'll go here is a final payment offer, lala.
mircea_popescu: gigavps da fuck. won't that even cost more than the payments to administer ?!
Ukto: (if that person is trying to work things out.)
gigavps: wtf did you think i was going to do
mircea_popescu: Ukto not like i'm nopt here daily an' talking things.
mircea_popescu: you seriously are going to be paying weekly btc after your claims are complete ?!
Ukto: see what happens when we talk things through? :)
gigavps: is the US, it is mandatory to keep records of who you are doing business with
Ukto: so he plans to contiune (at some point) to pay dividends and get back to business as usual
mircea_popescu: i thought the entire problem was you didn't have a way to identify owners that's reliable
gigavps: mircea_popescu we don't have to worry about that because i'm NOT SHUTTING DOWN
mircea_popescu: how'd you pay if you were going to shut down ?
gigavps: Ukto if i was going to shut down, i wouldn't be going through all of this mess
Ukto: *cant type, sorry
mircea_popescu: it's impractical to keep fiddling with the shit forever.
Ukto: gigavps: you were planning to shut down, right? someone mentioend earlier you wanted to continue? But that did nto soudn right to me
mircea_popescu: i don't intend to make any more than one payment to claimants, which'd be final and negotiated.
mircea_popescu: Ukto i doubt it makes much sense for giga to pay dividends "normally". i would expect he makes some sort of final settlement.
Ukto: and people blowing up and loosing their mind and getting attiudes
mircea_popescu: all this is very fucking c ommon and veryfucking sane, except for people that really have no idea howfinance works.
Ukto: would you continue to pay out divs out of your pocket?
mircea_popescu: he's probably going to get something.
Ukto: people can bitch and whine at mp ALL they want, but if it was made clear that he had no responsibility to do any effort towrads the actual shares, then its up to thsoe people to seek whatever based on their own views. end of story
Ukto: and gigavps, I take it, your stuck not able to give out anything unless mircea_popescu provides said documentation right?
mircea_popescu: well, not regardless. if the stuff giga does ends up having a value in fact
mircea_popescu: something like that.
Ukto: so basically, it boils down to, you did the passthrough, told everyone you had 0 plans to do anything that requires any actual time or effort, good luck have fun. now shit hit the fan, and your sticking to what your siad since gigavps wants tax docs/id etc that you never agreed to provide should they be requested. right?
mircea_popescu: the problem with being friendly to small timers is that then you end up stuck with a horde of very silly people.
mircea_popescu: also, it seemed friendlier to smalltimers, as in, not have to require minimum x hundred btc investment.
gigavps: some parts of the world ;)
mircea_popescu: it seemed logical at the time, simplify everyone's maintenance of it.
mircea_popescu: Ukto no, theywere on glbse.
mircea_popescu: <pigeons> yeah i figured originally i would have an easier time getting GIGA divdends from MP than from nefario if GLBSE went south << this would be true. however, glbse going south + giga going taxid/etc is a different story.
mircea_popescu: <Ukto> pigeons: he removed all records of the asset from accounts though, is my udnerstanding << you srsly should read that 3 hour discussion. the shares were removed from current holdings. all historical info is still there, and also here, on the twitter feed, etc.
Ukto: or were those outside of/beyond ?
Ukto: and 'assigned' to you?
mircea_popescu: <pigeons> well mircea_popescu claims that "he always stated" that he intended the passthrough to be zero work/maintenance << should i quote ?
mircea_popescu: <Ukto> he bought shares of giga from giga direct? or on glbse << i bought bonds before the glbse ipo. they were transformed into glbse shares when giga decided later to put up with nefario's bs. i didn't want to, but i didn't make a huge point out of it either because at the time nefario hadn't yet quite shown himself for the huge cock he was/i didn't know better.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> if f.giga.etf is supposed to have some value, why nobody asked mircea to arrange buyback on december 1st? << why did it trade 3 days out of 30 for the 30 days BEFORE the announcement moreover.
mircea_popescu: EskimoBob yer talkin nonsense.
Ukto: then again, if someone has the time/microtime, it wouldnt be hard to locate the record anyways in teh table if that was the point
EskimoBob: "pigeons | hahah i would have thought it was you Bob " - LOL :) I do not do crap like that.
Ukto: for security reasons, I just dont feel like showing those numbers to the public hehe
kakobrekla: well, if its a 'counter' than just ++
Ukto: so time+microtime
Ukto: yeah, tweet/json trades
Ukto: not "bugs" but, things that bug me
kakobrekla: this is for tweet uniqification?
Ukto: well, the id is used internally to reference the txn id
Ukto: but one of my biggest security bugs, is I don't like giving any information that cold tie anything directly from the outside world to the db
Ukto: i have an AI field for the trades that has no particular purpose since the system uses its own trade txn id. was debating using that
Ukto: though i never saw the habelockinvestments.com url before since it goes off of my window lol
Ukto: hehe thanks kako :)
PsychoticBoy: Ukto, how it stands, for now, ppl would like to see me move to bitfunder
PsychoticBoy: I am also going to rent a ¨WALL¨ around me :D hehe seems to work
Ukto: prolly that kid from china
pigeons: hahah i would have thought it was you Bob
pigeons: no i dont have a lot of thoughts right now
EskimoBob: talked to nefario. Some retard is calling him every day and is leaving really ugly messages to his voice mail. Who ever you are, you are not helping at all. Damn fuckwits
Ukto: Other than "please dont screw the customers" ?
Ukto: any thoughts for bitfunder? :P
Ukto: new topic.. hmm
Ukto: I tried emailing him a few times, and no response et all :/
Ukto: btw, anyone had contact with tcatm in the last 12 weeks he dissapeared from irc?
pigeons: no the subject :)
Ukto: regardless, just because he may not feel, because it is not written down, that he has an obligation to the shareholders to "try" to take care of them, does not mean that people do not have the right to issue a scammer tag, for not "Trying", since he did not explicitly write that he woudl NOT adminitrate the account beyhond divs. (unless he did?)
pigeons: about a month ago MP made it clear this is what would happen and so i sold the rest
pigeons: yeah i figured originally i would have an easier time getting GIGA divdends from MP than from nefario if GLBSE went south, and I was wrong, but oh well
Ukto: i think more effort would go into fighting it anyways
Ukto: not that I would have a hard time spending a little effort to make shareholders "Customer" happy
Ukto: jsut because I dont want to end up in a similar situation
Ukto: yeah, he suggested I do a passthough of mpex on Bitfunder.. i think I will def. avoid it now
pigeons: i mean before the glbse closure
Ukto: pigeons: he removed all records of the asset from accounts though, is my udnerstanding
Ukto: for trusting MP to do what they think is the right hting
pigeons: yes in the end, its gone
