the20year2: So, in that scenario we clear still $100-$150 a month in income off the property, still collect appreciation if the rent-to-owner decides they don'
t want it anymore (Which is the most likely scenario), AND have $65k-$68k back in our pockets
the20year2: It does take a little while to buy & rehab properties, so the capital doesn'
t get utilized immediately
the20year2: Really don'
t want to go with the overly-dramatic HGTV videos
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform except men can'
t piss in the company of womenz generally speaking
benkay: "did you smoke pot in the last thirty days? oop - insurance doesn'
t cover that. guess you're out an arm!"
benkay: gotta keep risk down on insuring those line operators, and can'
t sow dissent in the ranks by testing the operators and not the engineers.
MAKABEakira: mircea_popescu, wp. i didn'
t consider that at all
MAKABEakira: BingoBoingo, not even pretending we are making art. can'
t all be freewheeling bitcoin barons alas
MAKABEakira: mircea_popescu, we wont do it if we cannot. i didn'
t even consider this idea till you brought up bitbet, but i like the prospects.
mircea_popescu: MAKABEakira so why can'
t these be week bets like in sane land ?
mircea_popescu: the total actual exposure bitbet has to bets (ie, stuff people bet that hasn'
t been yet resolved) is 414.9x
mircea_popescu: what i don'
t love is how many people need to be hurt into comprehending that they're better off following than trying to lead.
MAKABEakira: apologies i was under impression this was watercooler talk everywhere. don'
t shoot
mircea_popescu: i mean some people are just deliberately being stupid, but in many more cases people just don'
t have the info, at all.
nubbins`: couldn'
t give any less fucks these days
mircea_popescu: B007 the point isn'
t really to make it impossible to get past.
mircea_popescu: which is why you don'
t see ads for hookers in your favbourite magazine
moiety: also BingoBoingo re first comment in ponzi ad thread... theymos doesn'
t actually have legal responsibility in reality does he?
moiety: hey i didn'
t know there was a thread! didn'
t they take enough crap regarding BFL ads?!?!
mircea_popescu: "Marc Andreessen favorited your Tweets 11h: Reply to @pmarca If your intel dept didn'
t stink, you'd know all about BitBet.
http://bitbet.us/ "
mircea_popescu: tho i don'
t seem to find any proper proof, like signatures.
mircea_popescu: these considerations sink the entire thing, either way. either way they've lied, which means they can'
t audit.
dexX7: i agree and i expected something such a reaction. you don'
t need to convince me or something
mircea_popescu: i would like to know why other stuff like spylog or begun aren'
t listed there
Bunnyh: from what i can tell it looks like bitstamp isn'
t using any spf rules on their domain, wouldn'
t that block many phishing attempts?
dexX7: they don'
t have one and were audited
Bunnyh: i had only 6 BTC there so unless everyones withdraws were blocked at that time, i can'
t imagine it was any kind of liquidity problem
benkay: the20year2: your operation can'
t possibly file an0.
bitcoinpete: it's not signed and sealed yet, gays can'
t marry everywhere and we don'
t have free govweed
mircea_popescu: apparently a smaller amt of phone number isn'
t better after all!

t really exist.
Plaxant: mircea_popescu I don'
t know
mircea_popescu: mike_c yeah, they weren'
t on the list of people who are allowed to make moneyz.
mircea_popescu: here are the companies the government supports, here are the people it doesn'
t support, "rule of law" stuff.
mircea_popescu: but look here : some people bought options, in switzerland. they had their accounts frozen and they were required to... prove!!! they didn'
t trade on insider info.
the20year2: Yeah , i don'
t know though if it's illegal to issue non-gaap reports
the20year2: an0 looks pretty simple, and my idea was to publish something non-gaap anyways since i don'
t think we can count bitcoin in that, and we'll always have btc balances onhand, so I planned on issuing non-gaap reports at the same time the gaap ones were done (TSLA does that)
nubbins`: "sorry my break isn'
t for another half hour"
the20year2: I guess it wouldn'
t be too difficult to publish an0 + gaap reports
joecool: ie. if i walk into a store with a stolen magstripe you don'
t know i have, i can purchase goods and even if there's a chargeback, it only claws back from the store those goods were bought at
thestringpuller: but I don'
t think the proxy decrypts trades just announces
thestringpuller: yea but the attacker wouldn'
t have profited directly on stealing people's money, mpex key is still guarded by naked lady ninja assassins
mircea_popescu: the fact you can reverse it doesn'
t mean it didn'
t fail thjo
mike_c: wait, wasn'
t that how mpex got down? somebody impersonated you to a proxy server admin?

t the client maintained by the foundation?

t show as per your txid
diametric: Satoshi dice would be very easy to attack since it's blocked in the US, which causes most US visitors to use TOR, which is easy to MITM especially since Satoshi Dice doesn'

Neil: Actually the iron ore has more on the other side now. Hadn'
t noticed but that makes sense.
Neil: Yes, to some extent the other side will come in to make up the odds (witness the recent CME bets) but there's still some friction. The large CME bets were ballsy and I guess should be worse than evens but an equal amount to the opening bet hasn'
t come in yet.
mircea_popescu: Neil tbh it always was pretty well arbed, in the sense that i occasionally try taking one side and i have yet to come to a situation where i wasn'
t covered properly by the other side
nubbins`: one of the nice things about privilege is that you don'
t need to be aware of it
nubbins`: ...i didn'
t think you could put them together like that
bitcoinpete: conan was only indicative of where the middle is, or isn'
t ninjashogun: So, it was not people, it was one person, and he didn'
t leave but continues to express 'definite' interest (we've prepared loan paperwork, etc). I!ve pressed several times for a firm closure and he's repeated definite interest (instead of taking the chance to say, look, it's not that interesting to him)
nubbins`: you won'
t find what you're looking for here
ninjashogun: nubbins`, but nubbins doesn'
t mean anything to me either.
nubbins`: and generally, adults don'
t give free money to nobodies with "ideas"
ninjashogun: it's the same thing - something marketable that needs something up-front. You can'
t just ask people to speculate, you should extend the possibility of a loan to cover information asymmetry and personal responsibiilty. I wouldn'
t be gamblign with otehr people's money
nubbins`: TBH i don'
t think they should give loans for degrees/diplomas in navel gazing
cazalla: don'
t you mean profit!1!1!oneeleven!11
mircea_popescu: i'd love nothing more than contact with a large club of street people, but these muppets ain'
t it.
mircea_popescu: which is actually the greatest boon on the developing world : all those mexicans, arabs etc leeching the welfare states aren'
t doing it so they may be us or eu citizens etc
mircea_popescu: it's like "it never ceases to amaze me how the impotent never rape anyone". well of course not. if they could they wouldn'
t be impotent.
CheckDavid: I see. Because I guess banks wouldn'
t care that much
CheckDavid: cazalla: if you get a shitty job you don'
t have to pay debt?
moiety: i would bite your hand off to go to uni ... but in my own time. worked since 14. it doesn'
t make you less of a person at all, they just like you to think so
moiety: asciilifeform: here, you don'
t have to pay back your student loans until you earn over X amount
