ReutersEmily the real reason you want a client is that you can then install otr, which is a cryptographically secure plugin allowing you to have private conversations safe from any snoops. and that is good quality safety, not the sort of crud normally peddled.

gribble:
ReutersEmily was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 9 hours, 58 minutes, and 34 seconds ago: <
ReutersEmily> same album as Mistadobalina also features a wonderful song called "What Is A Booty"
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell
reutersemily "Shortly after that, a bitcoin exchange known as bitfloor was shuttered after its US bank account was closed because it had not properly registered with regulators." << nah, bitfloor was run by shtylman, who either ran off with the coin or "lost" it.
BingoBoingo: I wonder is
ReutersEmily is filling out a requisition for a few bitcents to get Trilema credits
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily so anyway, what's the story with this Bob Dobalina ?
Duffer1: you're in the right chan for sure
reutersemily this chan spawn enough material to sustain multiple daily blogs
thestringpuller:
ReutersEmily: so you're getting paid to be on irc right now? lol
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily if it's trying to connect you on this same name it'd prolly fail as the name's already in use.
ThickAsThieves:
ReutersEmily, I can offer some insight on Havelock and Neo, but I am not an official representative for either.
ReutersEmily: so - i just downloaded HexChat and if I just click out of this window, will I be able to put
ReutersEmily into "nickname" and have it work?
Duffer1:
ReutersEmily: who runs havelock? >> The Panama Fund SA (no idea what that means or who's behind it, I suspect Voorhees is related somehow)
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily a bash is an old internet tradition, a collection of striking, funny or just memorable quotes
mircea_popescu: <
ReutersEmily> oh gosh i can imagine...that would be the fastest way to turn your car into a convertible, hitting a moose <<< bwagaga
nubbins`:
ReutersEmily: yep, i've never paid for any moose meat
nubbins`:
ReutersEmily, eastern canada - newfoundland
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily they're trying, but i think you probably know more in places by now than silbert does
BingoBoingo:
ReutersEmily: Yeah, they just really pump each other's dubious ventures and collect money they don't provide accounting for
nubbins`:
ReutersEmily: keep this up and you'll join the clan of people who can afford to sit around on freenode all day ;D
mircea_popescu: anyway
ReutersEmily the verification of such things is a fuzzy affair at best. you end up weighting things, who said what who they work with who trusts them and why etc.
nubbins`:
ReutersEmily: you might be interested to know that the guy who "leaked" the document -- selkis, i think -- actually did the redactions himself
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily that stuff was always regarded as dubious
nubbins`:
ReutersEmily: regarding that leaked crisis plan, did you see the actual PDF? with the "redactions" on the financials page?
nubbins`:
ReutersEmily: this channel -- and a few others -- have identification features that are useful to this end
nubbins`:
ReutersEmily: the best you can do re: verification is to verify who's saying things.
only_:
ReutersEmily: something like "will MP get away with running an unregulated stock exchange on the interwebz?" that would be nice.
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily if you manage to idle here you'll get the scoops as they happen.
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily i've met a few, but as a general rule no.
nubbins`:
ReutersEmily: in my experience, those who day trade don't really hold long-term, and vice versa
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily instead of everyone else having to get in, wanting or not.
nubbins`:
ReutersEmily: a common question is "so will you cash out all your btc when it reaches <large usd value>?"
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily you've followed the cases in the past few years, since it's your beat. would you say in each and every one it was your opinion that the actions as decided by either sec or courts were in fact correct ?
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily i wouldn't want to be in any board where the ceo goes "well icahn just offered me 50mn, what you guys got"
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily well the better opposite view is that it's really not against the people working at companies' interest to allow that "hard work" to fruit, as opposed to the interest of the actual companies.

ReutersEmily the real reason you want a client is that you can then install otr, which is a cryptographically secure plugin allowing you to have private conversations safe from any snoops. and that is good quality safety, not the sort of crud normally peddled.
☟︎ BingoBoingo:
ReutersEmily: Right. This channel has a log linked in the topic, but for other channels and conversations you depend on your client to keep logs for you
bounce:
reutersemily, mind a personal opinion question?
nubbins`:
ReutersEmily: sort of like gmail vs. outlook
nubbins`:
ReutersEmily: most of us use dedicated software to connect to irc, rather than a website like you're using
mircea_popescu: (for instance i don't write out
ReutersEmily every time i name you, i just type out re)
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily one of the better things you can do is get an irc client and set it up. thgat way you have your own logs, highlights, tab completes etc
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily well you know, people ocasionally go hang out. but
khersonus:
ReutersEmily: how did you find out about this place?
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily anyway, if you're positive-constructively inclined, they probably mean "with none of the risk holding your own btc entails, such as you not having a clue and deleting the wallet"
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily if not, there's going to be another in 2015 anyway, so.
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily anyway, some highlights include calling out the pirate scam in april 2012, at a time everyone thought they knew better,
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily not other than the limits of how many shares there exist in that company.
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily take for instance mpoe-pr. you familiar with her body of work ?
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily well, why not ? they seem of the same kind no ?
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily the advantage of being here. i gain about 15 iq points when surrounded by these folks.
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily it varies wildly. currently in the 20-30k btc range. during one month it handled 400k btc in notional options exposure
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily about a dozen, it varies. they review public communications, keep track on the status of various purported btc companies, make regular statements etc.
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily well, again just like the nyse. you have to satisfy a due dilligence process.
mircea_popescu:
ReutersEmily mpex works exactly like the nyse, if nyse worked as intended.
