Diablo-D3: and Im pretty sure anyone can run one as long as they comply with the FCRA, FACTA, and FCBA
noagendamarket: even payday lenders have better default rates than bitcoin loans lol
Namjies: The loaners would default and the employees would defraud... I mean default the bank further
noagendamarket: if a bank started offering bitcoin loans I wonder what the default rate would be
Diablo-D3: Namjies: barring? fuck, banks dont exist then
Diablo-D3: even when the people have not missed a payment, a few months later a sherif shows up to throw them out
noagendamarket: thats what they do
noagendamarket: btcjam and glbse are closer to gambling
Namjies: Good score says you pay on time and don't overloan. It's a statistical indicator about if the loaner is more or less likely to pay back on time.
Diablo-D3: I think btcjam is running a scam
noagendamarket: credit score doesnt say anything about your ability to repay only that you have not paid before
Diablo-D3: plus, in the US (in every state but 2), stuff like credit cards are unsecured debt
Namjies: If the rating is good, not necessarily 800 points, they can attribute more points for credit rating I suppose.
Namjies: Well credit ratings include those "stains" on your loaning habits.
Diablo-D3: why the fuck are they checking people's _credit_
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: they could be paying for it
noagendamarket: youre telling me
Diablo-D3: noagendamarket: thats... not a good thing
Namjies: Assuming any government would allow such smoother regulations where they regulate only who can get issued into their official market without regulating trades.
mircea_popescu: for one, they cost money. for the other, pfff. who's btcjam
Diablo-D3: someone needs to tell these guys bfl is most likely a scam
Namjies: Technically, even a regulated market could be issued on decentralized and have their official app tracking official deeds and for trading.
noagendamarket: btcjam has 50% default rate and they use credit checks....
Namjies: User still has to investigate anything before purchasing.
noagendamarket: he had the guys passport and full identity lol
Namjies: The difference is that decentralized, data is not lost and public yet anonymous as much as the user wishes to be.
Namjies: I hardly see the difference... anyone could do almost anything on GLBSE.
noagendamarket: its hard to beat placing a lien on someones actual property if they fail to pay
Namjies: ownership deeds on the blockchain tools are not really developed yet tho
noagendamarket: decentralized exchanges are far worse than glbse disasters
Ukto: just disable trading on teh asset, and move
Ukto: yeah to colored if they wanted
Ukto: which makes it easy for ppl to migrate to
Namjies: colored coins would be the best option as far as I'm concerned.
Ukto: Namjies: my system uses btc addresses to publically list holders data live
noagendamarket: it doesnt tell me who or what is behind the "company"
Ukto: how well that worked out
Ukto: noagendamarket: do you think any of the other agreements are any better?
noagendamarket: You must agree to 1 and 2."
Namjies: If I had to use a platform, I'd probably use the Belize based LitecoinGlobal/BTCT.co
Ukto: Namjies: alright. just wanted to toss it out. :)
Ukto: not the graetest asset, but its better than starting with 0
Ukto: has 1 asset setting up to sell atm heh
Ukto: Namjies: would you consider BF if you decide to keep btc-bond?
noagendamarket: not likely to happen though
mircea_popescu: pigeons i don't even want to see the wave of mining bond failures if diff went down 80%
Namjies: What? Not that much.
noagendamarket: btc-bond wasnt too bad
Namjies: Might still operate BTC-BOND tho.
Namjies: Paying people back and closing things, probably.
noagendamarket: pigeons I think he lacks the balls to be a scammer :D
Ukto: what is your plans for things at this point?
Namjies: I don't think so either. Seems like he chickened out and is error prone, but otherwise honest. Still, it's a mess.
noagendamarket: I dont think hes scamming in the same way patrick harnett is scamming over kraken
Namjies: Unless they're all conspirating together the lists are probably accurate.
Namjies: From old users which pre-date GLBSE's closure to top it.
Namjies: and claims from before I received lists seems to match.
Namjies: Not before. With today's, He might be getting close.
pigeons: maybe with today/yesterday's lists,certainly not before
pigeons: is he up to "most" yet?
noagendamarket: unless they have thousands of dollars to waste for no reason
noagendamarket: why would anyone sue him if he has sent back most of the asset info and btc ?
mircea_popescu: but in the event of an ulterior lawsuit if it turns out he changed his name it may spell additional trouble.
mircea_popescu: ofcourse he's free to do anything.
noagendamarket: unless hes got an a ctual lawsuit hes free to do anything
noagendamarket: hes not facing charges that we know of
mircea_popescu: i mean it'd be technically fraud, you can only change your name by poll if you're not doing it to escape debts etc
noagendamarket: I think james will need to change his name by deed poll if he ever want5s to open another business
mircea_popescu: lol maybe he takes it seriously and never mentions bitcoin again.
mircea_popescu: ahahah this entire caldwell whining that the transcriber didn't censor the ums is really hysterical
kakobrekla: coins at 1osama havent been moved in long time
noagendamarket: after all he demolished a couple of buildings for them
noagendamarket: they need to pay osama somehow...
dub: someone: you know bitcoin could be used to fund terrorism
dub: I assume the CIA are either content to let us marginalise ourselves for the moment, or using bitcoin themselves on a scale that warrants leaving it alone
noagendamarket: may as well finish it off with a right hook to the jaw
dub: why bother when Pirate and Amir are doing the job for them
noagendamarket: even as a troll
noagendamarket: I mean techinically theres nothing stopping anyone doing that
noagendamarket: then they can make a song and dance about bitcoin funding terrorism in the senate
noagendamarket: I wonder why the cia hasnt setup a hamas donation fund for bitcoins yet
noagendamarket: for a public speaking tour lol
mircea_popescu: i wasn't expecting that today's portion of drama would come out of that obscure youtube
mircea_popescu: we gotta thank pigeons tho
kakobrekla: >In fairness, I can't spell your name either, Mr. P can't, your name is just too much to spell.
mircea_popescu: o hey, seems caldwell and the girl are going at it.
dub: I need to uniognore inaba to see that :(
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla cock is usually hard to swallow, especially if it's one's first time and the thing is as thick as mine.
Namjies: I suppose the situation can be interpreted both ways as such.
Namjies: When you pay someone, the other might be in charge/making decision.
noagendamarket: its a power thing
noagendamarket: rape isnt usually about the sex
mircea_popescu: again, there's not a rule that he who pays is in charge.
mircea_popescu: in the other example, money or sex and skill are each valuable.
mircea_popescu: Namjies money and sex, in a simplified consideration, are both valuable. there's not a rule that he who has the money is in charge.
mod6: For coding, the developer kind of prositutes work for money. << Is this not true with any service based industry - Time & Services for Capital?
jcpham: noagendamarket in the comments at the bottom he admits to mining bitcoins
Namjies: Pay the other for something they have.
mod6: but to each their own, everyone has got a way. and i'd say further that when leaving the ways of the layman behind, you have to adopt more efficent tools to help you compete in the market place.
Namjies: The marrying example, the woman kind of prostitues herself for the guy's money. For coding, the developer kind of prositutes work for money. And not the other way around. The guy hiring the dev is more like the rich guy, not the woman marrying it.
