smickles: what is
this /q namespace on namecoins a place
to spend a little namecoin
to permanently quote someone?
gigavps: he/she/whomever seems
to like
to jump on
the drama bandwagon
pigeons: look at
the /q namespace on namecoin for quotes

Diablo-D3: dude, if my erect dick gets any bigger, Im going
to have
to start having sex with female horses.
gigavps: the arrows are going in
the wrong direction
mircea_popescu: "Exercises are usually done
to reduce urinary incontinence,[3] reduce urinary incontinence after childbirth,[4] and reduce premature ejaculatory occurrences in men,[5] as well as
to increase
the size and intensity of erections.[6]" <<<
there you go Diablo-D3
gigavps: better stop doing
those kegels mircea_popescu
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: I
thought
that in guys made it worse not better
mircea_popescu: "Then we need a lawyer, ideally available
to get paid when he recovers our stolen funds. Anyone can suggest one?"
gigavps: well,
they will believe whatever
they want
to believe
mircea_popescu: gigavps : i
think
that argument revolves around
the use of I. i guess many people figured you were doing
the bonds personally
gigavps: deprived seems
to
think i've changed
the contract for some reason because of
the way quentin wrote
the claims letter
gigavps: hopefully
things will get better when i post
the list and some faqs
smickles: heh, i stopped looking at bitcoinx because of
that
gigavps: i was
trending on bitcoinx.com for a couple days
though
mircea_popescu: apparently
there's still people who have
too much btc for
their sense.
smickles: heh, btcjam scammers, who'd've
thunk it
mircea_popescu: im really impressed with
the "we won't spend 30 btc
to get reg'd on mpex cause it's expensive"
pigeons: "Loan
to Buy Girlfriend Perfect Supprise Birthday Present"
pigeons: i wish
there were more loan requests, i could browse
these all day
mircea_popescu: they need
the "substance not form" doctrine extended
to apply
to
this.
pigeons: yeah basically, but
they asked nicely
mircea_popescu: they want
to borrow untraceable btc
to repay phone bill in collections
to be able
to get money off
the state
that
they will NEVER repay
pigeons: can't be a scam either,
they have a verified facebook page!
mircea_popescu: did
the person actually say
that's what
the btc is for ?!
pigeons: and
the BTC could go up in value vs
the USD his bill is in
pigeons: why are you going
to borrow at 7%/month
to pay your cell phone bill
that's in collections and stopped accruing interest?
pigeons: i'm going
through btcjam and leaving comments since
there's nothing on
tv
pigeons: i doubt
that is
the same freemoney
mircea_popescu: "I need
this so I can pay my hosting and other
things. I have very good credit and can furnish." pff
mircea_popescu: preferably back
to wow or whatever
the fuck
they were doing.
mircea_popescu: basically... all
these people making sites on
the
theory
that bitcoin is
the new hip social media and
the userbase will sort it out itself need
to go away
pigeons: so danieldaniel can figure out how
to read
the guide and register, but
this guy is a "developer"
mircea_popescu: register
there and I've never used GPG or something like
that. :)
mircea_popescu: This WOT is so complicated! I'm a usual game developer. I'm not able
to get how
to
pigeons: this looks like a helpful way
to accomplish
that
mircea_popescu: basically,
the people with
too much btc have
to have a way
to get rid of
the burden
pigeons: lot of coins
to come out of nowhere and ask for
pigeons: yes,
the rate displayed on
that site is a monthly rate, but still
dub: is
there a new url format for fishgame my old code no work
mircea_popescu: just so happens i'm millitant against dumbass special chars. wrote romanian for years w/o any of
their little squigly shits
mircea_popescu: you're
the first one
to have mentioned it, so i guess we got something here.
toffoo: and I see
the same
thing all
the
time around here from non-English writers around here
toffoo: maybe it's just
the font or
the way
the blog is rendering it .. weird
mircea_popescu: well
then maybe... YOUR
terminal has some localisation weirdness ?
mircea_popescu: me
too. but for some reason wp decided " is
to be curlified
toffoo: no, here
those look
the same
to me
toffoo: weird .. well
the apostrophes
that come out on your blog are definitely wrong
toffoo: it happens all
the
time
toffoo: mircea: I enjoy your entertaining blog, so I'll leave you one little
tip I often mention
to non-native writers of English:
the correct key for an apostrophe (used in possessives and contractions) is
this one: ' not
this one: `
Namjies: mircea, what's
that
thing at
the bottom: UPCOMING - K.KBRL - Pending, due klim.
mircea_popescu: this attitude as if "control" is something
that's feasible, possible, desirable or even allowable is getting on my nerves.
dub: The lack of control on
the financial flows
to and from
the cyberspace makes recycling operations
through a virtual currency extremely efficient and very difficult
to prevent, it must be also considered
the absence of a regulation
to approach
the cyber laundering phenomena.
Namjies: dub: I usually stop reading when
the english is
this badly written.
mircea_popescu: then
they suddenly saw 1bn+ in capital and well...
there just wasn't room
to spend
that much in
their intended market
mircea_popescu: LCTM is actually a fine example.
the idea of arbitraging off-run bonds is probably workable, if you keep expenses low.
mircea_popescu: to get any benefit from
the fins discussion of statistics we'd have
to have solved all
the other problems
smickles: of course,
they did some other stupid shit
too... but even so
smickles: heh, i'm not sure either, but
the longer
tails feel better
to me when i consider
that LTCM got hit by a 'tail event' which may have been covered if
their formula wasn't gaussian
mircea_popescu: anyway, im not so sure moving from gauss
to galton will necessarily benefit anything.
mircea_popescu: merton is basically "let's consider holding a company as
the equivalent of holding an european style call on its assets"
smickles: but i don't have
the
time
to work on
that math
smickles: I feel like
these models would benifit from being based on lognormal curves rather
than gausian ones
mircea_popescu: just like on
the strength of
their revenue generating abilities, miner bonds shouldn't really have seen investment over
the 100 btc mark for
the entire slate.
mircea_popescu: sorta like miner bonds in btc. on
the strength of
their revenue generating abilities, us investment banks for instance are 100
to 1000x oversized, all
through
the 90s and 00s
mircea_popescu: this is of course not
the case : financials are overbought by degrees of fucking magnitude in
the past decade+
mircea_popescu: they imply
that
the spreads observed in
the market are correct
