mircea_popescu: your blogger career is starting pretty good if mag journalists are already apologizing
to you
smickles: mircea_popescu: heh, yeah. a part of me responded with BS, and another part wanted
to respond with "well, I put it
that way because it was just a little sensational"
mircea_popescu: smickles : "There were no "suspicious" motives involved here. I would have gladly
thrown in MPEX had I remembered
that it has BTC options available.
That's it. I just overlooked you. I'm sorry. (And by
the way it's fixed now)"
mircea_popescu: btc being able
to help is by no means a foregone conclusion
mircea_popescu: sgornick
there's some huge problems with funding start-ups via btc however.
sgornick: i.e., lots of need for
these, as we decide
technology can enable what
the law won't.
sgornick: "typical KickStarter deals won’t naturally
transfer
to equity crowdfunding and
the vast majority of startup founders won’t receive any help at all from
the JOBS Act"
sgornick: >
to
think
that only a few short months away everyone was pissing
their pants
thinking of
the sec.
smickles: rg was last active
there at 5:35 utc (it's now 18:30)
smickles: <@rg> but im going
to go ahead and merge bitvps >> my new job << what does
this mean for s.bvps shareholders? Will
they be bought out?
mircea_popescu: so who was saying i'm in for a loads of pressure from
the sec ?
mircea_popescu: #1 reason nobody of any worth bothers with
that spamsite.
mircea_popescu: uh-oh, make way for
the wikiretard framing
the discussion
team.
mircea_popescu: these idiots
think
this little
trick of framing
the discussion is such pure unadulterated genius
mircea_popescu: I
think part of
the problem is
that we’re looking at it from
two different viewpoints. I’m looking for what’s going
to help
the Wikipedia article, and others are looking for what’s going
to help
the subject itself, Bitcoin.
Ukto: he was
the largest glbse asset
PsychoticBoy: giga is off, probably got
to hot under his feet
mircea_popescu: well people will have
to at
the very least sign a renounciation of claim
PsychoticBoy: I can pay,
thats not
the point, Its
the whole ¨its not my responsibility anymore go
to my lawyer¨
thing
that stings me
mircea_popescu: PsychoticBoy expect
the laywer
to want
to be paid up front
tho
PsychoticBoy: I will
take ABM/PGM
to a lawyer
too, send info or never get paid mwuhahaha
Ukto: I concur, giga has or will be paying quite a bit for
them
to handle
the volume
gigavps: pigeons you still in
town?
pigeons: giga likely paid a lot for his counsel, so he's likely
to follow it
mircea_popescu: probably an ultimately doomed but otherwise brave attempt
to plug all loopholes.
mircea_popescu: PsychoticBoy seems
to me more like
the recognition of how fucked up
things are
than any sort of loophole.
pigeons: "and if i i ever give advice like
the law student nefario met in a sandwich shop, i will step down"
mircea_popescu: "as a lawyer, I hereby promise
to be a lawyer and behave accordingly
to
the rules. if I don't, with or without
this useless declaration I am still held liable"
gigavps: i haven't been looking forward
to
this
gigavps: you should send mpoe-pr into my
thread
to quote you on
that
mircea_popescu: but i admire
the drive
to do
things properly for once.
Ukto: I need
to double check some
things
Ukto: in
the end, I will let anyone attempt
to create an asset, and write it up. I will personally decide weather
to greenlight it or not.
Diablo-D3: they failed
to ship,
they are a scam.
Diablo-D3: even if
they ship, its still forever a scam
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: doesnt matter at
this point
Diablo-D3: since no interest is paid, I dont have
to worry about
that blowing up because some exchange went south
Diablo-D3: all numbered and signed with a pgp key used only for
this and
then locked away in a vault
Diablo-D3: Ukto: what I was
thinking was
this
Diablo-D3: or just issue
them
to exchanges directly and have
them do whatever
Diablo-D3: I could issue
them across multiple exchanges I
think
Ukto: so far of
the ppl who have
their asset lists from nefario
Ukto: your considering
that?
Ukto: still have a few more important
things, but wont hold back launch
Diablo-D3: well, if I launch DMC 2.0,
thats
the way I want
to go with funding I
think
Ukto: jsut wanna focus on
the core system right now
Ukto: considered it, just havent worked it all
the way
through yet
Diablo-D3: what about just limited allowance of
them?
Ukto: ppl can use all
the other wannabe's
to scam ppl with
those for now
Ukto: they just want what worked, and what
they knew
Ukto: most ppl have
told me
they dont want something differnt.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i just looked. your
thing is something more like
that btcjam disaster
than straight exchange
Ukto: so I avoid
them like
the plague
Ukto: I saw one
the other day
that was ahorrid green color
mircea_popescu: im not even sure how many
there are anymore. 12 ? 20 ?
Ukto: mircea_popescu: is
there anyone else who has a btc stock exchange
thats been created since
that is ready
to launch ?
Ukto: some of us never "pissed out pants" and did what we wanted from
teh get go :P
Ukto: mircea_popescu:
the SEC stuff was all false speculation from
the get go
Diablo-D3: dub: hey, are you still going
to do your proxy when
the block reward halves?
mircea_popescu: to
think
that only a few short months away everyone was pissing
their pants
thinking of
the sec.
mircea_popescu: so is ANYONE left who's not working on, launching or
trying
to sell some sort of btc stock exchange ?
Azelphur: so many bitcoins
that it's not even a number any more.
rdponticelli: But you can't do much on
the site without a balance...
sgornick: mircea_popescu: Does coinbr allow orders for MPOE options
too?
Namjies: I'm building a rocket. Leaving
this rock. Anyone with me?
sgornick: Looking at coinbr.com for
the first
time ... I see
the dashboard but how would I create an order? (I have not funded
the account, if
that matters.)
mircea_popescu: let
them loan
themselves imaginary money
till
they're blue in
the ballsack.
