shinohai: > "the FBI agent name dropped
Coindesk as a thing he reads...."
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic> williamdunne: No, there are actual groups of people with years-long accounts who are paid.
Coindesk or coinfire, or $random_lame_news_outlet "broke" the story a while ago including screenshots and lists of reddit accounts (which they kept private) << It was Coinfire. They've done a few excellent stories in their history, but the way they operate is just so fucking... odd

BingoBoingo: Or
Coindesk/buzz could stop inflating the typical numbers ransomeware demands
brendafdez: There's also qntra, it's the sane place to get your bitcoin cup of coffee without all the
CoinDesk shit
mircea_popescu: once they didn't get away with simply stealing that, they made
coindesk.
assbot: Logged on 11-03-2015 12:58:08; fluffypony: so
Coindesk is now Groupon?
cazalla:
coindesk deals.. they must be doing it tough over there
brendafdez: Last time was also Pete from
Coindesk, he interviewed all the poeple claiming to run 'exchanges' here. There are a huge numer of such 'exchanges', most of which don't even exist like coinmelon (refered to by mp as coinmuon bc of the sign at the doorbell). Then there's Latincoin, which is also there athe 'embassy' and also doesn't even exist and is only piching to 'investors' to get money with no product. Last time they were asking for $7
☟︎ mike_c: I feel like Qntra is working. I haven't had to dirty myself on
coindesk in quite awhile
cazalla: anyway, this elite retreat was announced weeks ago, clearly it didn't get much traction so they called up
coindesk to promote it
danielpbarron:
coindesk's redditnote piece is exactly the same number of words as mine if you strip out the quotes and the last line about his former job (which i probably should have included in mine); but theirs has less characters than mine
mircea_popescu: davout: so TIL that
coindesk belongs to shakil kan, investor in bitpay and kraken, and that bitcoinmagazine now belongs to bitpay (through some entity of which galippi has a stake in) << lawl.

BingoBoingo: Oh, and
CoinDesk finally got to a story on the arrest, but they instead cover the FBI Press Release.
Adlai: ("i use
coindesk and zeroblock. the forums and reddit are good for laughs, but have lots of trolls and altcoins")
Adlai: seems to be working well for them so far, guy at the conference said that
coindesk is a reliable news source so it must be
Adlai: also,
coindesk publish press releases as articles in return for money
cazalla: that
coindesk article also reflects the total lack of news on some days
mircea_popescu: assbot: 5 Cryptocurrency Caricatures You'll Meet on r/Bitcoin -
CoinDesk << so
coindesk is at the gizmodo/mashable/demand media "stale meme list" phase of post-shark-jumping ?
BingoBoingo:
Coindesk for axample is an anus. It looks like it uses Bootstrap (mobile first design turd). I dunno how visual difference between Qntra and an anus is not a net positive.
BingoBoingo: On
Coindesk of course. Never on their official site
cazalla: yeah, that site was sold in november because the guy running couldn't keep up the pace of
coindesk seeing they're funded by gaw adverts and newsbtc was not at that time
davout: in other news josh garza gets an 'honorable mention' in
coindesk's list of 'bitcoin's most influential people of 2014'
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> qntra is not #b-a news, it is 'better than
coindesk' news. i doubt they use otc. << this is a point, but srsly, write it.
mike_c: qntra is not #b-a news, it is 'better than
coindesk' news. i doubt they use otc.
cazalla: i was going to attribute traffic drop to 2014 being somewhat of a write off but ccn is up and up so perhaps some penguin/panda styled penalty on
coindesk, who knows
cazalla: so
coindesk linked qntra lol
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: next week they will be back on
coindesk with some new chumpatron <<< no, it gets better. next, they will be getting the congressional medal of honor, for "innovation"
kakobrekla: next week they will be back on
coindesk with some new chumpatron
aspho: Cazalla: I see where you're coming from. not pointing fingers, just helping out (although it gets attention comparing with
coindesk heh)
cazalla: aspho, the post references the stupidity of "issuing missives via Facebook post" so no, Qntra has not done
coindesk assbot:
Coindesk is no longer the Voice of Currency • IHB News™
mircea_popescu: it's not going to survive anyway, that
coindesk thing.
mircea_popescu: and they tweet on their own (and mostly ignored) twitter account a link to...
coindesk, and via@
coindesk.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> such coincidences. << Well, more than even killing
Coindesk isn't a point of Qntra ending gawker?
thickasthieves:
Coindesk seems on this path, but theyre bound to fuck it up
