Ukto: Diablo-D3: did nefario give out asset lists ?
 Ukto: man, what a tryhard
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 1217 @ 0.00040434 = 0.4921 BTC [-]
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 20257 @ 0.00040404 = 8.1846 BTC [-]
 thestringpuller: But then again he can never do business in the BTC community again so it's kinda fair
 Ukto: i think a few ppl prolly will
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8043 @ 0.00040404 = 3.2497 BTC [-]
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 34357 @ 0.00040399 = 13.8799 BTC [-]
 BTC-Mining: Well, anyone seliing F.GIGA.ETF/S.BVPS?
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 22000 @ 0.00040399 = 8.8878 BTC [-]
 rdponticelli: Now, who knows, it may turn into the main site to exchange it, or it may be renderer useless...
 BTC-Mining: I actually purchased 534150 GIGA.ETF already eh
 smickles: rdponticelli: how would it be rendered usless?
 rdponticelli: Well, if for any cause ownership of the underlying can't be acertained
 smickles: rdponticelli: i wonder if giga would just recognize the etf shares tho
 smickles: The Owner will never own less shares of the underlying than the total float of this asset implies.
 smickles: mircea_popescu would've broken his own contract to have ever sold those shares
 rdponticelli: Yeah, but even if mircea_popescu owns those shares, the proof of that ownership is on glbse's hands
 Diablo-D3: how are those etfs even functioning now
 smickles: and i believe giga's signed receipt of the btc for the shares is in the contract too, so it's conceivable that he would honor it w/o any info coming from glbse
 smickles: Diablo-D3: in the way 've just explained it
 rdponticelli: smickles: yeah, there's a signed receipt for 900 shares
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4643 @ 0.00040399 = 1.8757 BTC [-]
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11557 @ 0.0004035 = 4.6632 BTC [-]
 rdponticelli: But on last dividend the exchange payed only 3 weeks
 rdponticelli: So it seems like they were receiving their dividends through glbse
 rdponticelli: mircea said they were paying the rest if/when the issue was solved
 smickles: Diablo-D3: it's possible for giga to honor this arrangement with mircea w/o glbse involvement, so the shares have value
 smickles: we'll se what actually happens tho
 Diablo-D3: smickles: did mircea buy them directly from giga?
 smickles: Diablo-D3: i dunno, but in this possibility, he could've bought them on glbse
 Diablo-D3: I cant honor any of the dmc shares left out there until glbse hands over the data =/
 smickles: yeah, those etf shares are unique to this kerfuflle
 Diablo-D3: I wonder if I should just write off 800 btc and pretend it never existed
 rdponticelli: Maybe we just should pretend bitcoin itself never existed...
 Diablo-D3: rdponticelli: honestly, Im thinking about it
 smickles: huh, what were we talking about?
 rdponticelli: Diablo-D3: you aren't quitting bitcoin, right?
 Diablo-D3: I cant say the effort I put into it has been worth it.
 smickles: why does every p2pool block show up in the blockchain.info 'strange transactions' page?
 Diablo-D3: blockchain.info doesnt like gen tx spam
 Diablo-D3: surprised other pools dont pop up in it too
 kakobrekla: 00:28.41 ( Diablo-D3 ) smickles: did mircea buy them directly from giga?
 Diablo-D3: kakobrekla: thats why he can verify them, I guess
 smickles: well, kakobrekla, by your word, then the etf should be in good shape
 rdponticelli: kakobrekla: but last dividends, he paid only for 3 weeks
 smickles: there has for some time been something like a depositary receipt of gigaminin on mpex
 rdponticelli: And said the rest would be paid out if/when the issues got solved
 kakobrekla: maybe giga is holding everything back?
 rdponticelli: I don't know... he was concerned about legal stuff too...
 kakobrekla: well mps words are "i pay what giga pays [directly to me]"
 rdponticelli: kakobrekla: those were mircea's words, on dividend day:
 rdponticelli: [09:53:54] <assbot> [MPEX] [F.GIGA.ETF] [PAID] 1000000 @ 0.00003459 = 34.58804 BTC
 rdponticelli: [09:55:38] <mircea_popescu> that's three weeks that were actually paid. if/when giga manages to sort out the glbbq mess there'll be more.
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 52300 @ 0.00040404 = 21.1313 BTC [+]

 gribble: usagi was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 week, 2 days, 16 hours, 35 minutes, and 35 seconds ago: <usagi> We own 2000 shares.. should be good if glbse comes up :/
 gribble: You rated user usagi on Mon Sep 17 19:56:21 2012, giving him a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: I have made a limited arangement with ~. we'll se how it goes.
 smickles: ;;rate usagi -1 I have made a limited arangement with ~. we'll se how it goes. ~ is now late in paying and will have defaulted on the contract by the end of tody if action is not taken.
 gribble: Rating entry successful. Your rating for user usagi has changed from 1 to -1.
 smickles: well, really 'today' was over 3 min ago
 smickles: but i'll give usagi until today is over in arizona time
 Ukto: smickles: lol, you liked my ToS ? :P
 smickles: Ukto: it's entertaining, at least :)
 smickles: BTC-Mining: a loan from s²cm to cpa
 Ukto: smickles: I just wanted to be very clear about things up front. :P
 BTC-Mining: eh... well with GLBSE having the funds, you know...
 smickles: BTC-Mining: glbse paid back funds today
 smickles: ah, well, also, usagi claimed to have the funds to pay on this contract even after glbse went down
 BTC-Mining: So... what is he doing, not showing up?
 BTC-Mining: Who will I pay for all those BTC-Mining shares he held in BMF?
 smickles: i sent off an email just a moment ago
 smickles: today is the last day of a late payment date range
 smickles: and I haven't seen/heardfrom usagi for about a week
 smickles: BTC-Mining: want to see the contract? curious?
 BTC-Mining: Nah, I'm sure it exists and the exact terms are not really of interest.

 BTC-Mining: Well, I might have just earned a few thousands at the expense of BMF's investors -.-
 Ukto: wonder when nef. will give out asset lists
 smickles: BTC-Mining: if i have proof that usagi owes me btc, and you have btc owed to usagi... would you mind sending it on to me :)
 BTC-Mining: I don't know how much shares he had. But I suppose if he signed it with his gpg key, I could indeed pay interests to you for his debt.
 smickles: BTC-Mining: it's signed alright ;) well wait to see if he defaults in arizona time, instead of UTC tho, give a little wiggleroom
 smickles: if anyone is curious, i've decided to post the contract on bitbin
 smickles: not good if he can't make an ~11 btc payment
 BTC-Mining: "Lol just fuck off dude. You got nothing, and the best you can do is necroaccount and necrothread."
 BTC-Mining: Wow... do I need to pick up Usagi's GLBSE account now or what?
 smickles: BTC-Mining: awesome, eh? as he was about 7 hours (if we're using utc time) away from defaulting on a contract
 smickles: not only late, thestringpuller, but outside of the late payment clause
 smickles: check blockchain.info for the payment dates
 smickles: thestringpuller: depends on what timezone we're using
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 1500 @ 0.00040469 = 0.607 BTC [-]
 thestringpuller: I feel a little bad for him. CPA was a pretty neat company.
 smickles: if we go by jst, then he has about 8 hours to make an (approx.) 11 btc payment to hold off default, but remain late on todays payment
 BTC-Mining: what the heck are you talking about, thestringpuller?
 smickles: BTC-Mining: probably the declining volume over time
 thestringpuller: I thought we were in the clear and it would stabilize at 12 USD

 smickles: lol, i mean, it's likely nefario has/had more btc than I do, but damn, i'm sure he's a small fish
 BTC-Mining: and there's many other people claiming to have been paid =/
 smickles: 1 of 3 of my accounts was paid
 dub: nobody is claiming he restored the former value of their shares
 BTC-Mining: yeah, I was strictly talking of balances
 smickles: does any sane person expect that?
 smickles: thestringpuller: mpex falls under the romainian version of the sec, if at all
 noagendamarket: unless he basically gets everything thats left over after the payouts he wont release the asset details
 BTC-Mining: the SEC has no freaking jurisdiction around the whole freaking globe
 smickles: thestringpuller: those romainian lawyers see bitcoin as WOW gold
 dub: smickles: as long as these 'sane' people aren't also congratulating nefario on handling this in the best way possible
 smickles: and the mpex securities as part of a computer game
 smickles: dub: that sort of 'sane' person would be an asshat
 BTC-Mining: Can people stop talking about the SEC like it was some global organisation?
 dub: theres basically no way to cut it that doesnt paint nefario is a moronic scammer
 BTC-Mining: Well, unless someone proves me he's been blackmailing, I can only know for sure that he's a poor decision maker.
 pigeons: mircea_popescu: < noagendamarket> unless he [nefario] basically gets everything thats left over after the payouts he wont release the asset details
 mircea_popescu: rdponticelli the float growed a little, but it wasn't ever much more than 1.2-1.3k or so.
 pigeons: smickles: did CPA need to make payouts at some point? is that what the loan was for?
 smickles: pigeons: depending on the timezone you use, usagi/cpa is about to or has just recently defaulted
 mircea_popescu: kakobrekla that buy was pre-glbse ipo, giga delivered shares on glbse, it's not a private agreement in any way.
 rdponticelli: And is allowed by the contract, as long as you have the backinv
 smickles: pigeons: "3. Payments will be made each Sunday until six payments have been made.
 pigeons: smickles: yeah i was wondering what cpa's purpose was for the original loan. did they use it to pay something they insured??
 pigeons: its one thing for usagi to be a tool, its another that he got mad when people pointed it out
 smickles: pigeons: oh, i think it may have been used to buy back shares of something or other
 smickles: but that would be a speculative statement
 pigeons: well good luck with recovery
 kakobrekla: ah mircea_popescu, so you are glbse dependend... sorry then, i was sure you werent.
 pigeons: well usagi is concentrating on paying rent
 pigeons: he borrowed against his salary
 mircea_popescu: <noagendamarket> unless he basically gets everything thats left over after the payouts he wont release the asset details <<< and to think you've been an ass all over the forum @ the girl.
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 31800 @ 0.0004035 = 12.8313 BTC [-]

 mircea_popescu: pigeons i was just reading that, didn't know they're leaking it out now.

 BTC-Mining: I also complained about "the girl", not for believing that GLBSE was a scam (She's free to believe whatever she wants) but for supporting her claims with unfounded statements and speculations which were false and presented as established facts.
 dub: thestringpuller: first week in bitcoin eh?
 thestringpuller: dub: no I just didn't think the damage done by GLBSE would reach this far
 dub: thestringpuller: I'd suggest its not, this  is a tiny movement
 mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining on one hand that's a gross exaggeration, on the other there's little similarity between you and the bitcoin.me fellow.
 pigeons: "the girl" is what mircea_popescu calls himself when we talk on skype
 dub: the real question is, where is the uncropped avatar pic
 dub: Diablo-D3: that'll e why nefario closed glbse..
 dub: noagendamarket: exactly, NEEDS MOAR PENIX
 pigeons: skype/adultfriendfinder/chatroulette/whatever
 dub: mircea_popescu: internet
 BTC-Mining: <mircea_popescu> BTC-Mining on one hand that's a gross exaggeration
 BTC-Mining: What? She claimed among other things, for example, that Usagi was appointed by Nefario to manage a review panel deciding on what would or would not be allowed on GLBSE.
 mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining that's afaik the only thing she said that you actually disputed, and you disputed it by your own testimony.
 mircea_popescu: re-read your statement above, compare with "1 case where i personally don't agree with what she said". it doesn't wash.
 jesica: what's up, hot stuff *kisu kisu*
 BTC-Mining: yeah, but her posting history if full of such contested facts which she eventually admits she doesn't actually know if they're true or not.
 pigeons: greatest country in the world
 pigeons: my sister is #1 prostiture in all of romanistan
 jesica: She claimed among other things, for example, that Usagi was appointed by Nefario to manage a  review panel deciding on what would or would not be allowed on GLBSE."" << i know that claim to be tru and have email logs of the pannel
 BTC-Mining: arf, I don't want to browse her history again. But next time I see one, I'll report it to you if you want
 mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining lol actually, i think if i dig in the logs i can find usagi making the exact claim.
 Diablo-D3: did someone just claim they're 19 and female?
 mircea_popescu: then again you can prolly find usagi making any claim you arbitrarily want to check for.
 mircea_popescu: total troll, whodda thunk it. he looks so prim and proper...
 mircea_popescu: well he seemed ok for a while but then turned complete bonkerette.
 BTC-Mining: True, she based her fact on something Usagi claimed...

 smickles: BTC-Mining: is this about that pannel existing?
 Diablo-D3: actually, if usagi is supposed to be a japanese princess
 mircea_popescu: fuck can keep track of it all, but it hardly amounts to what you're making out of it i think.
 Diablo-D3: you'd think we could get a statement from a professional tentacle deamon on this
 BTC-Mining: No, about Usagi managing said panel and panel having authority to determine if assets were to be listed or not.
 mircea_popescu: but wait. as to the later part : what else was it a panel for ? masturbatory onanism ?
 BTC-Mining: He never was appointed by Nefario or given any decisive power
 dub: wait, you mean usagi isnt a samurai rabbit?
 Diablo-D3: usagi said there was going to be a panel and the glbse board signed off on it
 Diablo-D3: nefario and usagi both said a few lies about that
 BTC-Mining: As far as I know, there never was such a thing. Usagi proposed it and Nefario was considering.
 Diablo-D3: no, nefario actually was repeating what usagi said
 mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining the problem with nefario's statements is that he often contradicts what he pretended last time
 mircea_popescu: i tend to recall this ridiculous Ven thing being a bluechip asset.
 smickles: heh, BTC-Mining have you seen the founding post of that group?
 Diablo-D3: noagendamarket: or "dmc will be shut down, diablo will go to bitcoin prison, and we'll get down to the truth"
 Diablo-D3: and then he discovered the truth and didnt quite like it.
 BTC-Mining: I also seem to have killed a scam accusation against MPEx
 dub: did usagi get tagged in the end?
 mircea_popescu: i guess it wasn't immediately obvious to people that as long as they keep the deposit slip they can prove depositing
 mircea_popescu: in truth, much of the beauty of gpg is lost on the avg internet user.
 BTC-Mining: I must admit I don't really keep them =/
 noagendamarket: lol Jonathan ERyan owens doesnt even have a scammer tag and Nefario does
 BTC-Mining: But yeah, if I wanted to keep them/have a proof, it's all there
 markac: smickles: GLBSE Asset Review Board - BitBin
 mircea_popescu: noagendamarket yes, at real estate development. with money. that they...umm... had.
 smickles: what i posted there are the exact words describing the glbse pannel usagi used
 pigeons: yeah but no more scamming for them, now it's real estate ;)
 BTC-Mining: Yeah, it ended up being a suggestion only panel, not decision making panel.
 mircea_popescu: thestringpuller well they claimed that dwolla stole their money and closed.
 BTC-Mining: And Nefario never actually gave Usagi management of the panel list
 mircea_popescu: its still unclear how much money they made off with tho.
 smickles: BTC-Mining: yeah, that was lol, wasn't it
 noagendamarket: Nefario wont take suggestions from hisown shareholders ffs

 smickles: well, no one in this room, ofc
 mircea_popescu: i guess the gold people, casascicusasciuscu, coingenuity and who else... that us gold coins thing still in business ?
 BTC-Mining: yeah, who trust pigeons? They only tarnish monuments in cities and steal food. Not very trustable.

 noagendamarket: satoshi left because eventually everyone will end up with a scammer tag lol
 mircea_popescu: no actually, if you actually hanker down and count heads, the scammers aren't a majority. they just seem like it cause they get more press. 
 mircea_popescu: when's the last time anyone bothered with the good people.
 smickles: BTC-Mining: all it's doing is taking the bitfloor liquidity rebate
 mircea_popescu: must suck if any of their schoolmates had glbse shares.
 smickles: hey, i'm married and have a kid
 BTC-Mining: No, married people are less trustworthy and more at the same time. More because they can't afford prison... less because they can't afford prison...
 mircea_popescu: confucius say, two husbands more trustworthy than one.
 smickles: i should've married that tree when i had the chance

 BTC-Mining: smickles, I meant, your statement was very badly placed out of context
 noagendamarket: you cant say he didnt tell you = entrapment cos it was in his name the whole time

 noagendamarket: smickles are you going to make a forum post about it ?
 BTC-Mining: Guess I might end up paying Usagi's debt
 dub: I should start a scam calling service
 dub: I'm at 100% accuracy
 thestringpuller: Do scams have to be malcious in intent (take the money and run) or can it just be inept business practices?
 thestringpuller: like for instance someone having all their money under a mattress and the house burns down...
 BTC-Mining: I would say they would have to be malicious intent. Otherwise we'd call that mismanagement/ineptitude.
 BTC-Mining: Like for murder, it has to be a malicious intent. If it's accidental and you're at fault, it's not murder but manslaughter
 BTC-Mining: Only if he doesn't claim his BTC-Mining shares
 BTC-Mining: I would pay interest to smickles instead
 thestringpuller: I see cause you'll retain those outstanding shares of Usagi?
 thestringpuller: Are scammer tags reversable? or is it pretty much a done deal?
 BTC-Mining: If he claims them at a later date, he'd have no more debt but less dividends owed.
 BTC-Mining: You should not be afraid to put them up temporarily until matter are resolved.
 BTC-Mining: Sets red flags for others to see until matters are resolved
 smickles: < BTC-Mining> I would pay interest to smickles instead << that's honorable, thank you for even considering it :)
 thestringpuller: well if your an insurance company you need to mitigate your risks appropriately
 thestringpuller: otherwise if shit hits the fan the only thing you can do is merge with another insurance company
 thestringpuller: his policy reserves were depleted during the default and never recovered
 noagendamarket: the idea of a btc insurance company at this stage is retarded
 smickles: thestringpuller: i think it was glbse going down that did 'em in
 BTC-Mining: I was completly spared from piratey troubles for avoiding pirate altogether
 BTC-Mining: Except a bit of margin trading on the various bonds
 thestringpuller: noagendamarket: if you have good underwriting you limit your exposure to scams
 thestringpuller: noagendamarket: that's because there is no stable investments to put your policy surplus into to make a decent ROI
 thestringpuller: the only option i would see is liquidating the surplus and putting it into global markets
 thestringpuller: The way I see CPA is that they were exposed to pirate, and they invested in pirate pt
 thestringpuller: so when he defaulted, he had to pay out pirate policies, and he lost money on the investments

 Ukto: nah, all the govt employees incharge of buying up btc etc are off work for the weekend :P
 BTC-Mining: qwebirc556225: it's not really a big fall... pretty minor
 dub: my peepeecoins are growing!
 BTC-Mining: If you'd look at price history, you can see it varies a lot even over the last month
 BTC-Mining: It's not like traditional currency pairs like USD/EURO
 Ukto: alot has happened over the last month :/
 BTC-Mining: Price moves a lot on small transactions simply by low liquitity volumes.
 Ukto: as we get closer to halftime, it should go up more
 thestringpuller: but from what I recall in order for miners who have paid for equipment, they only need 4USD/BTC to cover electricity costs and remain profitable
 dub: for GPUs its quite a lot higher with avg power price
 dub: FPGA will be lower than that
 dub: what are you assuming power price to be?
 BTC-Mining: arf, I'd pay dividends owed to him to smickles instead
 dub: thestringpuller: so assuming 10mh/w its break even is under a dollar
 dub: 10mh/w is a vaniall lx150
 dub: vanilla too, I think they commonly run at +25%
 dub: mircea_popescu: current
 dub: id say we'll be well over 3000th in a year

 smickles: noagendamarket: nope, netorare
 dub: i'd like to go to antarctica at some stage
 dub: my biddy has been there
 thestringpuller: then if they wanted to put me in jail they'd have to find me
 dub: its quite cold there atm
 dub: ozone hole sucking space in
 dub: its repairing itself apparently
 noagendamarket: yeah they banned a lot of the chemicals that were causing it
 dub: no more styrofoam burger boxes
 smickles: that's why those burger boxes went away?
 thestringpuller: i feel that the people on silk road are more trustworthy than most btc users
 thestringpuller: the be like the mafia? if people don't pay break their knees?
 noagendamarket: if you cant get justice using the legal system thats the alternative
 smickles: everything is a scam because none of the big thefts and scams have had any significant consequences yet
 noagendamarket: kinda hard when they live on the other side of the world
 mircea_popescu: thestringpuller actually the mafia collecting records are worse than the govt's.
 smickles: seriously, the should just secede already
 noagendamarket: scammers will destroy btc before the government gets a chance too
 thestringpuller: as long as SR exists btc will always have a place on the internet
 dub: people just need to be more enterprising
 dub: its retardedly cheap to have physical harm befall people in most places
 noagendamarket: wheer you can bet when pirate will get his legs broken

 thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "And yes, I’m saving some Bitcoins in a special wallet precisely to pay for the amusement of fucking interns in the oval office. The cigars are on the house." that made me laugh
 smickles: yeah, but really, you are :P 'merica rulz the world,, didn't you know the sec regulates securities worldwide
 mircea_popescu: better buy some viagra then, who knows how many interns 25btc buys

 noagendamarket: they probably wont do anything about scamming till a politician gets ripped off lol
 smickles: man, i should've found a way to scam the funds form my mortgage into btc back in 2008
 dub: if you want to conspiracy theorize it might be thier plan to let btc scam itself out of existence
 smickles: now that is waht bitcoin is for
 thestringpuller: Didn't a US senator give the DEA a bunch of money to shutdown Silk Road
 dub: pretty sweet honeypot
 smickles: how much money does it take to get to the center of an onion?
 smickles: dub: they did change their .onion address
 dub: USG has a long history of letting crime continue in their interests
 smickles: and the drug trad is in the gov't interest
 dub: there was an infographic floating around the other day, I think I pasted here
 smickles: thestringpuller: the one you emaild to me? or this destructo community provacatauro
 dub: showing drug addiction rates over time (static) vs. War on Drugs spend (zomg)
 smickles: thestringpuller: Yeah, i think that is a good idea if you can keep expenses low enough to attact business
 smickles: btc -> cash in pocket in about one biz day w/o needing a bank account, i think it'll work
 thestringpuller: that is if the check is as liquid as a moneygram/moneyorder
 smickles: most banks will let you cash that free of charge
 smickles: although, now, i think they take a fingerprint to do it
 midnightmagic: that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. For a cashier's/certified cheque?!

 Diablo-D3: smickles: I think Im glad I didnt hire you in the end
 Diablo-D3: smickles: you'd be trying to scammer thread me because glbse stole dmc's money :<
 noagendamarket: there wasnt much left of dmc for glbse to take aft5er youy finished with it :P
 smickles: Diablo-D3: usagi told me that he had the btc AFTER glbse went down
 smickles: and then didn't contact me when he clearly knew he was going to default
 Diablo-D3: noagendamarket: no, what was left of dmc was what glbse didnt already steal
 smickles: Diablo-D3: i would assume you would not do something like that. A little communication goes a long way
 Diablo-D3: yeah, I'd at least warn you ahead of time that dmc suddenly became non-existant
 smickles: you know, s2cm is actually still operating :/
 smickles: thestringpuller: heh, we're still operating, but we're going to dissolve when we get the shareholder info from glbse
 smickles: part of our operation is collecting from usagi
 smickles: thestringpuller: i bet there are people who have trustable claim to shares of s2cm who would sell them to you
 Diablo-D3: smickles: so basically the entire bitstreet is closing up
 smickles: Diablo-D3: well, i dunno, we're disolving s2cm, but i'm launching an accounting company
 Azelphur: I can sell ss shares, depending on what your offering
 thestringpuller: Everyone is closing their doors cause no one trusts anyone
 mircea_popescu: dub the way i see it, the scams are actually a passive benefit
 mircea_popescu: all the people who aren't scamming are gaining +rep with every scam.
 mircea_popescu: may seem expensive, but a great way to build a community FOR REAL.
 Azelphur: smickles: did you see the email that went out today btw
 smickles: Azelphur: the one where it said, you should've received you btc?
 smickles: yeah, s2cm didn't get one satoshi
 Azelphur: Your GLBSE account has been processed for bitcoin. The next step will be to send you information about your assets, and to provide this information to issuers (if you agreed) allowing you to continue your relationship with your issuers.
 Azelphur: that would be such a travesty to loose xD
 Azelphur: the economy will never recover
 Azelphur: we might as well pack up and go home now
 Azelphur: I got my 10.1 btc out of glbse
 Azelphur: now I'm waiting on clipse, bs&t and glbse (assets)
 Azelphur: money trapped in investments: ~1700 btc
 Azelphur: spread your money out, surely it can't all go wrong at the same time!
 dub: whats teh latest on clipse
 dub: still 'end of october'?
 Azelphur: dub: seems like he's en route for a scammer tag
 Azelphur: dub: wasn't that end of september
 Azelphur: he said end of september, then he said 12th oct, and now he signed in but hasn't updated anyone
 dub: I've seen no comms lately, I though he said end october then brought it forward
 smickles: Azelphur: go play some FTL, it'll help :)
 Azelphur: oh nope, you are right, it is end of october
 thestringpuller: smickles: what were the outstanding shares for september? (looking at S^2 fin reports)
 Azelphur: although he says that in order to pay out in october he needs people to mine, and his pool has been down for nearly 24h now
 dub: well, SA is a REALLY cheap place to have someone whacked ;)
 dub: like can of coke cheap
 Azelphur: I know people who live in SA too
 smickles: thestringpuller: all issued shares were outstanding, and the number should be in the notes of the report
 dub: I know a contract killer in SA :)
 Azelphur: sometimes I think it'd be cool if you could hire someone to steal a scammers car and sell it in order to pay back people who had been scammed, or something
 Azelphur: in my dreams sort of cool, not in reality
 Azelphur: dub: it's really bad because in his thread early on he specifically says he don't invest in BS&T which is why I left so much in there, as another investment
 dub: with pirate I'd steal his cimputers :)
 Azelphur: and now he blames BS&T for not being able to pay people back
 dub: in fact I can't believe someone hasnt
 Azelphur: noagendamarket: that's what I said in the scammer thread.

 Azelphur: "No I dont put the mining funds directly in BTCST" ... and now "aside from the fact BTCST should have paid out by now"
 Azelphur: thestringpuller: they did that 1/100 split now, so many zeros xD
 Azelphur: they split the shares up by 100 I think
 Azelphur: so people with 1 shares got 100 shares
 Azelphur: smickles: it was 100 split right?
 smickles: and it was a good plan, util glbse folded
 Azelphur: thestringpuller: it was originally 2.5, then they split the shares up to make it easier to trade, so if I bought 1 share at the beginning at 2.5, I would have had 100 shares worth 0.025 now
 smickles: thestringpuller: what did you mean by 'original value'?
 Azelphur: the IPO value was 1.0 then they did a second issuing at 2.0
 Azelphur: I sold a bunch of shares at 2.5 before the second issuing
 smickles: s2 originally launched with 500 shares at 1
 smickles: then issued 305 @ 2 (the market average) later on
 Azelphur: thestringpuller: my history with SS is basically, I bought a buttload at launch at 1.0, sold em all for between 1.8 and 2.5, then bought again at 2.0 in the second issuance
 smickles: then did a 100 for 1 split some time later
 Azelphur: I imagine it's not too much of an alternative now, as soon as GLBSE puts out the info it's shutting down anyway
 smickles: thestringpuller: i'll be compiling the next reports tomorrow
 Azelphur: so A) GLBSE puts info out and then you get bought out and it's over
 Azelphur: B) GLBSE doesn't put info out...and your screwed, forever.
 Azelphur: as much as I'd like to sell SS shares right now, gotta tell it like it is lol
 smickles: heh, mpex is either options, or hardly anything else, but better anything else than glbse had
 noagendamarket: imagine if you burnt your workplace down and asked the boss for your wages still lol
 smickles: yeah, not that i know exactly what we're liquidating at, but buying SS @ 2.5 is probably a loss
 Azelphur: smickles: aim high and negociate lower ;)
 Azelphur: smickles: have you heard the zeekrewards and BS&T rumors?
 Azelphur: talking to yourself like a pro there :p
 Azelphur: I lefe things behind all the time
 thestringpuller: I might as well just make a business instead of trying to bu y one
 thestringpuller: heh "Bitcoin is in fact first and foremost a wonderful community of highly skilled, intelligent and open minded people which tearfully reminds one of the old days of the pre-September Internet." heh

 thestringpuller: smickles: not yet even though I could drop the cash on it I can't warrant the expenditure if I can't be sure I'll make the money back
 Diablo-D3: smickles: but our tiny little backwoods wall street wannabe is dead
 smickles: thestringpuller: well, to justify 30 btc, you'd probaby have to use margin and make a good call, eh?
 thestringpuller: smickles: I'm not that good ;) I would have to have help for sure.
 Diablo-D3: [12:41:13] <thestringpuller> Everyone is closing their doors cause no one trusts anyone
 Diablo-D3: thestringpuller: yes, thats my reason to shut dmc
 thestringpuller: I'll be patient and wait for more companies to ipo on mpex before I invest in an account
 Diablo-D3: every company Ive tried to invest in so dmc can get there faster has pretty much fucked us one way or another
 smickles: thestringpuller: coinbr is probably for you then
 Diablo-D3: the irony is DMC's plan made that moot
 Diablo-D3: we could have mined everyone else under the table
 Diablo-D3: but everyone decided to just be a bunch of faggots, so fuck it
 noagendamarket: its not like you can invest in mt gox or bitinstant :P
 Diablo-D3: not that Im going to, but if I ever start another company, Im only going to deal with professional VC firms
 Diablo-D3: not a bunch of fucking aspies flailing their arms because they invested in something they didnt understand wouldnt pay out their original investment for 2+ years
 smickles: lol, Diablo-D3 don't vc firms look for 15x their original investment in 1 year?
 noagendamarket: I can double my investment inn 2 years simply by buying a house and living in it lol
 Diablo-D3: smickles: theres a few that are fucking retarded, but they're known
 Diablo-D3: theres _no one_ in the bitcoin community who knows what they're doing
 thestringpuller: smickles: yes that do, but they also think that if 15-20% of the companies they invested in give them that ROI it's a "good year"
 Diablo-D3: thestringpuller: smickles didnt want to invest in dmc
 Diablo-D3: smickles also didnt have 200k btc.
 noagendamarket: because he knew what he was doing he didnt invest in dmc
 Diablo-D3: noagendamarket: not at all, he didn't think the rest of the community could pony up the cash
 thestringpuller: (I keep thinking DMC stands for the Delorean Motors Company)
 dub: Derp Mining Crapshoot

 BTC-Mining: Also, did you know that those muppets might be making some of the criminal laws? Not all laws are voted by the representatives.
 BTC-Mining: Many regulations are made by expert in their fields but who have poor or no understanding of criminal law and it's intent.
 BTC-Mining: The website summarize the issue nicely.
 BTC-Mining: Although the problem of "broad/uncomprehensible laws" has been quite an issue globally, in many nations.
 mircea_popescu: it also explains why the united states has no room and no place in civilised society.

 BTC-Mining: Well, you seem to be overreacting to laws being too broad in the US by creating another broad law:
 BTC-Mining: [03:10] <mircea_popescu> it is now a crime to be american.
 BTC-Mining: Are you sure you aren't part of the problem?
 BTC-Mining: eh, and I wasn't really serious, just pointing out it was a rather harsh and excessive stance.
 mircea_popescu: no it's not. it's perfectly commensurate with the offence.
 BTC-Mining: Eh, "americans" are just born in the US, not a direct cause of everything that happens in the US
 mircea_popescu: people that dare organise into such a state are hostes humani gener
 mircea_popescu: listen, if you're part of some mob cause "you grew up into it" you still go to jail.
 BTC-Mining: Well that would be something applied too broadly... Not everyone in the US agree with the US.
 mircea_popescu: seems to me if you pay the mob boss you're in the mob, whether you *claim* disagreement or not.
 BTC-Mining: Depends on the individual. Most people in every country pays taxes. Doesn't mean they all support 100% of the state.
 BTC-Mining: I don't see how you could reasonably expect someone who object to any single law in a country to be able to move somewhere that has no rules they disagree with.
 BTC-Mining: Unless everyone lived in their own one-man nation.
 mircea_popescu: you don't have to move. you just send them your citizenship in the mail and be done with it.
 BTC-Mining: Except that doesn't really work that way...
 BTC-Mining: Since when will any government anywhere accept to take citizenship back and accept you stop paying any taxes? Tough luck on getting that through.
 mircea_popescu: if you're not a citizen and are paying taxes i dun care, you're not liable.
 mircea_popescu: i've paid taxes in maybe twenty jurisdictions so far, i don't see why anyone could claim i have anything to do with them.
 BTC-Mining: How do you even renounce citizenship? You never agreed to that.
 BTC-Mining: The state just decided by itself to consider you a citizen based on it's own set of rules, without your accord.
 mircea_popescu: nah. you were born one. your citizenship really predates any law other than the consitution
 mircea_popescu: peopel tend to forget the state is much ulterior in the process.
 BTC-Mining: I try to completly make abstraction of the state/whatever is in place and consider each individual individually for their own actions and intent.
 BTC-Mining: Regardless of their citizenship/government.
 BTC-Mining: If I see they support something I don't agree with, then I object.
 mircea_popescu: but they are actively engaged in a criminal entreprise 
 mircea_popescu: us data : There were between 222-235 renunciants in 2008, between 731-743 in 2009, and about 1485 in 2010; In 2011, there were 1781 renunciants.
 EskimoBob: can you 2 figure out how to "legalize" all the fake securities that are issued/promoted in the forum? At least you spend your energy on something useful :)
 BTC-Mining: That's like me saying you doing business like dinning out in a mob's restaurant is being actively engaged in a criminal enterprise. You have dealings with it, it doesn't mean you know or support what they do. You simply pay them for a service. Same with citizens paying taxes.
 mircea_popescu: EskimoBob not really interested in forum bs "securities", but tell me more about the assets-otc lame mpex clone.
 BTC-Mining: Now the issue is, there will be laws you don't agree with in every country. And pretty much every country charges taxes one way or another.
 EskimoBob: mircea_popescu: sorr, let me rephrase thet:  "legalize" all the fake securities that are issued/promoted in the  mpex
 mircea_popescu: obviously not laws are perfect. what we're discussing here are laws that are criminal in themselves.
 BTC-Mining: I'm pretty sure if even if they don't abound, we could at least find a few falling under that definition of yours in romanian laws.
 EskimoBob: can a law be criminal? Probably not but i sure can be absurd and instead of protecting people it harms them. But still, can you call it criminal?
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 17900 @ 0.0004165 = 7.4554 BTC [-]
 BTC-Mining: I'm afraid I don't have the skills required to do such legal research.
 BTC-Mining: In any case, I'm satisfied so far of canadian laws, although I'm pretty sure there's plenty I just don't know of.
 mircea_popescu: EskimoBob sure. nazi germany laws were criminal, and they created liability for loyal subjects of the 3rd reich.
 EskimoBob: mircea_popescu: no, they are criminal now, but not back then
 EskimoBob: and most are not even criminal now days
 mircea_popescu: well most no. but most doesn't matter in this context.
 EskimoBob: my point is, your example was a hyperbole
 EskimoBob: US laws have turned in to a pile of shit and same happens all over the world
 EskimoBob: Law is not for protecting society any more.
 mircea_popescu: nope, not the same, and not all over the world. this is just misguided jingoism.
 mircea_popescu: the insanity is quite speciffic to the us, with some overlap in the 51st state (uk)
 mircea_popescu: but yes my example was a hyperbole. problem is, it's a matching one
 BTC-Mining: Well, yes, many country are FAR from being in such a mess as the US.
 BTC-Mining: It doesn't mean the US is unrecyclable or that I'd hold every american responsible for the current situation however.
 mircea_popescu: the only way to get the lazy bums out of their bubble of confort and don't-give-a-shit
 mircea_popescu: so. all americans. strictly liable. for being part in the us war on mankind.
 BTC-Mining: If I applied that logic for anyone who is a citizen of a government I held responsible for crimes, I'd have to execute everybody on Earth, including myself.
 BTC-Mining: Simply for the fact no single government can be reasonably assumed to be 100% corruption free and applying laws correctly 100% of the time.
 mircea_popescu: we're not putting the standard at either 100% corruption free or applying laws at all.
 mircea_popescu: we are putting the standard at not making laws which are enmitous to mankind.
 mircea_popescu: it doesn't even matter whether such laws are ever applied or were ever applied. the simple fact that htey exist is sufficient.
 BTC-Mining: Corruption in governments is almost always for making laws that are not bad for mankind.
 mircea_popescu: we're not discussing "bad for mankind". we are discussing, hostile to mankind.
 mircea_popescu: if i snipe at you while you sunbathe i am hostile, whether i hit you or not.
 mircea_popescu: if i take the parking spot you wanted, it may be bad for you, but there's no hostility involved.
 BTC-Mining: the latter isn't really harmful, just vaguely inconvenient.
 BTC-Mining: Seems more like it was an unagreement on definition of words.
 BTC-Mining: Even so, would you claim your government has done absolutly zero hostile acts toward mankind for all the time you were a citizen?
 BTC-Mining: Aye, but I'm pretty sure at some point, it caused harm to its own citizen under one law or another. Although I guess that's not a receivable argument.
 mircea_popescu: but anyway, this isnt a "oh im so much bettert than anyone else" thing
 mircea_popescu: im just trying to point out the immensity of us insanity
 BTC-Mining: I lack facts. But so do you against american citizens for merely being american citizen.

 BTC-Mining: Also, since you consider intent, I suppose you wouldn't be against minors or infants who have no choice or knowing intent of causing such hostile acts. As such, why held adults responsible for inaction when they themselve are completly clueless.
 BTC-Mining: I'd consider their inaction as a poor choice, but would not consider them responsible.
 BTC-Mining: To each it's set of standards and ethics.

 dub: smickles: sounds suspiciously like the ellet idea
 dub: smickles must be MNW
 jurov: so, coinbr now features imgur screenshot gallery.. with an exercise order that will make you dream
 smickles: jurov: is there a 'stop-loss' feature?
 jurov: by popular request... so that potential users can see it's not so scary as mpex
 jurov: there was even idea that i do beautified order book
 smickles: the blockchain taint tool indicates that usagi has hundreds of btc under his control
 mircea_popescu: you want an api to talk to the thing which talks to  my api ? 
 jurov: that needs mpex acct, tho. i don't see an coinbr api in near future.
 jurov: high frequency trading with multiple users on one mpex acct is just not feasible atm.
 smickles: why would you do high frequency trading w/o a 'maker rebate'?
 mircea_popescu: there's a lot of problems to be accounted for. it's difficult to make a secure api in the first place. even if you do, making a chain of two be comparably fast to one alone is not trivial.
 smickles: someone clearly violates a signed contract, and people accuse the violated party of scamming
 smickles: and it seems to happen so often

 smickles: mircea_popescu: that's arbitration tho, this is not a dispute resolution
 smickles: how does that reach out to a scammer tag on bitcointalk?
 mircea_popescu: well, let's see. usagi doesn't admit default, in what he posts there ?
 smickles: he admitted it to me. but this is a side issue. agreeing to arbitration concerns the legal aspects of dispute resolution. not labels on a forum or private discussions
 mircea_popescu: now, it's not a matter of YOU being a scammer, or the disclosure being improper or anything
 mircea_popescu: but i can see how the forum people would go, well, come with a judge.me result first.
 smickles: if they want the judge.me result for a scammertag, they are changing the way they do things
 smickles: because i recall them giving scammer tags to people who agreed to judge.me resolution w/o there even being a claim filed
 smickles: and the scammer tag is a warning mechanism, not a settlement process, this augustocroppo was assusing me of breaking the contract by calling for a scammer tag
 pigeons: don't worry about forumrates
 smickles: mircea_popescu: oh, i'll look, but i don't feel confident i'll find it :|
 thestringpuller: as mircea_popescu says, they are stuck in eternal september
 mircea_popescu: smickles pigeons prolly has it, i vaguely recall that name under the idiot tag.
 mircea_popescu: but as a general principle, it's hard to ask for any third party action on a contract with a dispute resolution clause that wasn't met.
 smickles: funny thing is, there are a few people who owe usagi btc who are willing to pay this debt, usagi just has to agree
 smickles: BTC-Mining either had bad luck, or low power
 smickles: or wanted 12 characters or somehthing
 dub: depends on difficulty
 BTC-Mining: Difficulty was between 800 - 900 billion
 BTC-Mining: I also wanted a number/capital letter following the letters
 rdponticelli: You do deserve a scammer tag, smickles. How do you dare to expect a payback on a bitcoin loan? That's scamming!
 BTC-Mining: It had to start with that specific string and be followed by a number... pretty harsh.
 BTC-Mining: rdponticelli, who was it who refused to repay loan because that was not "theft" since bitcoins aren't "real money"?
 smickles: rdponticelli: IKR, and I discussed it in a non-binding fashion, outside of arbitration! How dare I?!
 pigeons: and you loaned the money to an unlicensed illegal insurance company that sold unregistered securities!
 dub: to a magical samurai rabbit boy girl person no less
 dub: tbh, scam accusations are retarded
 mircea_popescu: dub depends. the girl's got theymos pretty talkative in short order.
 dub: scam tags issued by a scammer are not useful
 dub: nor is bitcointalk.org in ngeneral
 smickles: i should just stoppit with the forum already
 smickles: heh, got a good recomendation?

 smickles: (lol before reeses, i dunno reeses)
 smickles: i've heard of reeses, but not interacted with reeses much
 mircea_popescu: one of the few true girls on the interwebs. your loss.
 rdponticelli: BTC-Mining: I don't know. I recall bulanula arguing that he can't return what was overpaid to him, because bitcoin transactions wasn't reversible
 pigeons: i'm typing with one hand too, everytime thestringpuller talks
 dub: rdponticelli: bulanula was the first account I ignored, the final straw
 dub: life is too short to even acknowledge people with so little worth
