 thestringpuller: redditors are not nearly as bright as you'd want though unfortunately
 mircea_popescu: it's not that they're not that bright, it's that mostly they live on welfare.
 thestringpuller: due to the states involvement in making it profitable for cartels
 thestringpuller: I always thought the war on drugs was a cover for incarcerating people for free labor.

 thestringpuller: So DL Hughley came on the Daily Show a few nights ago, and he was saying how he interviewed these gang members. And he said, "Why don't we hook you up with stock options of the prisons you'll be doing time in, when you do time"
 thestringpuller: so he hooked up a bunch of gang members with legit stock options, which may become the standard for "hazard pay"
 iz: how much does 1 incarceration really affect the value of the prison's stock though?
 iz: seems like it would be pretty negligible
 mircea_popescu: iz i guess it's more like the principle of the thing, like invederate gamblers owning s.dice stock
 mircea_popescu: or people dealing in options owning mpoe stock. you get a discount
 iz: yeah, it's a cool idea, but not terribly practical
 thestringpuller: if you're incarcerated chances are you'll be doing labor for free
 rg: iz: you ever hang out on Undernet?
 iz: you could probably make more money by finding change in your car
 iz: rg: i did for a bit, but under a different nick
 mircea_popescu: iz people who go to prison aren't really the best at making money.
 iz: nope, different person probably
 thestringpuller: some people who go to prison though are patsies and get paid comfortably
 rg: i doubt ill ever find daz again
 thestringpuller: okay so I think it's more the gang buys stock in the companies that own the prison's they'll be serving time in
 iz: ah, that makes more sense
 thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: I was thinking about what yo said a few days ago. BTC is not for the average consumer. What if someone did a BTC -> Stock Exchange pass thru?
 mircea_popescu: the thing to do is getting future contracts with physical delivery IN BTC.
 mircea_popescu: something i've been working on for what, six months now.

 thestringpuller: I must say, I've learned more about finance from the BTC community than anywhere else.
 mircea_popescu: i like how the price graph tells the story of the sec panic
 gp5st: the exchanges listed in the topic, why will they not encounter the same legal problems glbse ran into?
 mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i always said, btc is a very cheap way to gain a good financial education
 gp5st: mircea_popescu: i guess i just assumed they did.
 gp5st: seems to be the common answer whenever asked about it
 mircea_popescu: pirate had "some friends that decided to make things difficult"
 mircea_popescu: what guarantees you don't have some friends that will make things difficult ?
 gp5st: mircea_popescu: since that's a vauge statement i can't give anything but a vauge answer
 gp5st: well, moving on to more tangible topics: of the exchanges listed in the topic, which has the most volume (I'm currently looking into them, so I'm still learning)
 mircea_popescu: gp5st mpex is doing ~60k atm. it was always doing about 3x to 5x glbse volume
 mircea_popescu: actually towards the end it was prolly more like 10x, but heck.
 thestringpuller: but then again that's not mpex's fault, there aren't a lot of btc-based companies worth listing
 mircea_popescu: i was gonna say, you know i could make it VERY diverse in about half hour
 mircea_popescu: and then gp5st's question would suddenly gain lots of flesh
 gp5st: what are the 3 companies with stock listed?
 mod6: S.MPOE | S.BVPS | S.DICE
 gp5st: yes, i see those:) what/who are they though
 gp5st: there is a details link i missed before
 mircea_popescu: gp5st s.mpoe is the conglomerate of mpoe (the options broker) and mpex (the stock exchange). the historical contract is found here : 
 mircea_popescu: s.dice is satoshi dice. s.bvps is bitvps, rg's hosting company
 mircea_popescu: thestringpuller in principle yes, but a lot depends on what contract can be agreed upon.
 thestringpuller: I'm just wondering more of, if a BTC based company becomes profitable and takes VC money, does that mean it's bound by regulation now??
 mircea_popescu: i guess that'd also depend on the contract they entered into with the vcs
 mircea_popescu: there's a tiny fraction of the world called the united states, and a much larger, comparatively more important rest.
 mircea_popescu: there's 10 mn people living in new york and 290 mn people NOT living in new york.
 mircea_popescu: just so there's 300mn people living in the us and 6,8 bn people NOT living in the us
 thestringpuller: New York is a good manifestation of American capitalism...
 mircea_popescu: these days it's mostly a sad manifestation of american welfarism, but anyway.
 mircea_popescu: you can't tell me that something is a manifestation of capitalism when that something is traditionally blue
 mircea_popescu: starving "artists" + university "students" => socialist environment.
 thestringpuller: There is a section of Atlanta just like that. Full of new age retro hippies.
 thestringpuller: The coinbase funding is dumb. Coinbase is not even that good, it's all hype. Blockchain.info has so many more features...
 assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 7772 @ 0.00043539 = 3.3839 BTC [+]
 thestringpuller: almost 1M and it's pretty much blockchain's wallet with "prospective features"
 mircea_popescu: im not even sure what coinbase is, so i guesshey may have a point lol
 gp5st: i'm sorry if i'm being a pain: how do the options work on mpex?
 mircea_popescu: gp5st you're not a pain, kinda what this chan is for. do you know options in general ?
 gp5st: a little bit. i buy an option @ a price and then when it expires i need to buy the underlying thing at the price i bought the option at?
 gp5st: ah, then i guess i do not
 mircea_popescu: options convey the right but not the obligation to either buy (calls) or sell (puts) at the strike price
 mircea_popescu: mpex options are american-style, so that option is there all through till expiration (unlike european style, where option only exists at expiration)
 mircea_popescu: gp5st anyway, a good idea is to read up on options in general, mpex is pretty much the same.
 gp5st: so if i buy one $1/btc option, what happens on fri? i can sell or buy what with it?
 gp5st: yeah, i'm in the process of trying to learn about how financial markets work
 gp5st: there is a lot there to learn
 mircea_popescu: there is a lot to learn. as i was saying, bitcoin is a very cheap way to learn finance, comparatively. so, good for you.
 mircea_popescu: bitcoin is to finance what computer fly simulators are to pilots i'd say.
 thestringpuller: mircea_popescu so btc can be used to train people to be good traders?
 mircea_popescu: if i ran an investment bank/hedge fund what i'd do is give all interns 1k btc, hire the top x ones by final btc
 thestringpuller: ironically the only person who succeeded was a 17 year old girl who is a physics/econ major...
 mircea_popescu: "And saying that economics is the central component of western cultural identity and that indigenous people's downfall is because they simply implemented it the wrong way is beyond retarded."
 gp5st: what are the legal ramifications for listing on mpex? would a us-based company be able to put shares on it?
 mircea_popescu: gp5st i'm really not qualified to discuss that. us-based company should make its own determination.
 mircea_popescu: however, if that company isn't principally taking a btc revenue it makes little sense to list on mpex
 gp5st: i was just curious what the limitations dice and bvps had
 gp5st: i shouldn't have made it so us-centric
 mircea_popescu: (for purely accounting reasons, shares in btc, revenues in non-btc, makes a mess)
 thestringpuller: if your revenue stream was comprised of 100% BTC, would you claim it?
 gp5st: but only a profit from in a recognized currency, like usd or eur, right?
 mircea_popescu: gp5st if you sell btc and now have extra eur or w/e you'd declare it like any other revenue
 thestringpuller: seems like the best place to make a btc business is romania...
 mircea_popescu: as long as you keep it as btc afaik in most jurisdictions there's no declaration
 gp5st: yes, but if i buy a stock with btc, and sell it for more btc...
 gp5st: thestringpuller: how come?

 dub: the war on drugs is not winnable because nobody is trying to win it, like the war on terror
 dub: its not about winning its about the war
 dub: if the war was won there would need to be another war which is just more work, best keep no winning the existing ones
 thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: so will there ever be intermediate options?
 mircea_popescu: a few months ago btc was ~5 and options went 1 to 10 at a .5 step
 thestringpuller: given MPOE is the options broker, would you ever let third parties exercise the options?
 mircea_popescu: there's both a mkopt and a split option implemented, you know this ?
 mircea_popescu: (then again, if you don't have the cash flow to go directly to mpex it may be the case you're not well served by underwriting options)

 QuickBitcoins: If I recall his girlfriend told him that they couldnt get their cat back unless he got away from his parents or something.

 smickles: mircea_popescu: and now, for perspective, over 3/4 'cashed out' before glbse went down, and I still have 38 (or so) btc to distribute
 Azelphur: smickles: what's that for, MPOE?
 Azelphur: smickles: you got shareholder data?
 smickles: noagendamarket: in the context of the time, it was a funny and easily understandable joke ;)
 smickles: Azelphur: not that I know of, i'll check for emails
 Azelphur: smickles: ah, was just asking because you said you are distributing btc
 smickles: Azelphur: last email from glbse was on oct 14
 dub: We regret to inform you that GPUMAX will be permanently closing
 Azelphur: yea, I wish nefario would hurry up already
 dub: yes well nefario is the only other person with this address
 smickles: Azelphur: I think glbse confused you ;) they gave some btc back, so i have it to distribute, but no info to perform that action
 dub: not much need to check daily
 smickles: I don't understand the delay at all
 Azelphur: dub: indeed, at this rate it's sounding like I'll need one
 smickles: here's a question, what do i do with the btc when nef doesn't ever give out shareholder info?
 Azelphur: by pirate I'm down ~150, by GLBSE I'm (currently) down about 500, and clipse got me for ~50
 dub: im into clipse for ~30
 Azelphur: mircea_popescu: he's scammer tagged now
 dub: ran a pps+ 'mining pool' that turned out to probably have just been a PPT
 Azelphur: the age old "Lol I've got your money goodbye" attack
 dub: it was for a while, then problems its coming soon, then nothing
 Azelphur: mircea_popescu: you friends with him / have his address? people want to go after him legally
 Azelphur: if GLBSE screws me as well, I'll be pretty bummed
 Azelphur: because that'll be pretty much all my money gone \o/
 mircea_popescu: look on the bright side : you saved 20 btc on a mpex acct.
 pigeons: you didn't hear? glbse lost the rest of the funds and database to a chinese relic hunter who guessed their mtgox api key

 mircea_popescu: well then wtf, she STARTED the give theymos a scammer tag thread
 pigeons: sorry, even your girl isn't as trolly as goat
 mircea_popescu: i mean, can we stoop to "why was x banned" level after the "omg, 6mn in bitcoins stoled" this august ?!
 Chaang-Noi: i think i got banned cuz i told theymos he was wrong in telling people not to send back the double paymensts they got from nefario
 Chaang-Noi: i said people had the options to sue glbse owner
 Chaang-Noi: theymos thinks he is protected, but he is not
 Chaang-Noi: he said it was unfair he is liable for nefarios actions
 Chaang-Noi: i also questioned that since nefario had over 50% of the vote why he could not shut down glbse
 Chaang-Noi: i think theymos has gone a bit crazy with the scammer tag/bann hammer abuse cuz of his stress with glbse
 noagendamarket: technically Magical Tux is allowing unlicensed securities to be promoted on his forum.
 Azelphur: why would you tell people not to return the double payments?
 Chaang-Noi: i did not, THEYMOS told people not to return double payments
 Azelphur: yea, theymos is getting really odd
 Chaang-Noi: he is trying to make the glbse situation drag out
 Chaang-Noi: seems you can do anything on that forum other than tell theymos when he fucked up
 mircea_popescu: this theory suffers of the fact that they've not banned my girl.
 Azelphur: I'm starting to notice in the bitcoin community there so many people who think they are immune to the law
 noagendamarket: well...the police dont even investigate if your house gets burgled why would they care if your bitcoins get stolen ?
 Azelphur: noagendamarket: you can bet they will start caring about unlicensed securities
 noagendamarket: unlicensed securities, tax avoidance and money laundering yes
 Azelphur: that leaked shareholder info was ridiculous

 noagendamarket: yeah but second life isnt going to affect tyhe central bankers lol
 pigeons: 1. they are simulations and games. 2. the amounts of value are relatively small
 Azelphur: I know a guy who sold his house, put the money in his bank, and when he presented his passport to the bank to show ID for a large deposit, they took it and scanned it. Later someone walked in complete with a fake passport and cleaned out his account for £150k iirc
 noagendamarket: julian assange didnt get charges untill wikileaks embarrassed the bankers
 pigeons: it is always a point mircea_popescu
 mircea_popescu: show me a law that says it's ok to steal as long as you don't steal a lot.
 Azelphur: He was lucky, he went to make a cash withdrawal and his account balance was zero and the bank was able to stop the transaction before it left the country, he got all his money back

 mircea_popescu: no but think about it. ask any lawyer if it is "advisable" to drive your car
 mircea_popescu: he'll tell you that well... you face possible jail time and ideally you should not drive your car
 mircea_popescu: people somehow irresponsibly don't seem to retain a lawyer to ask this.
 pigeons: the problem isnt that he shut down, the main problem is that he did it without returning accounting to asset holders or even all the funds, and that he dicked around with his shoe on head picture bullshit
 mircea_popescu: this culture of lieing (about pretty much everything) is the fucking problem.
 mircea_popescu: he lied about talking to a lawyer. he lied about even having wtf any clue whatsoever what he's doing. 
 pigeons: the problem is that he didn't return asset lists or money
 mircea_popescu: it is just a string of lies all the way through. review his fucking videos at that ridiculous conference nobody went to.
 copumpkin: he posted a pic of himself with a shoe on his head?
 smickles: glbse was just an elaborate fundraiser for nefario's sexchange operation and therapist fees
 Diablo-D3: and he said it was to get asset issuers
 mircea_popescu: pretty much all the guy does is lies and somehow this has become "the norm".
 pigeons: lieing sucks, but he needs to give people their bitcoins back and the asset issuers information about their assets
 mircea_popescu: look at the wannabe entrepreneurs in the forum : THEY ALL LIE

 Azelphur: SupaDupa: Suggestion, if you want to repay your loans, why don't you just repay them in USD? I'm sure people would be willing to accept that, and you have it
 Ssateneth: If someone doesn't accept cash, they are an IDIOT
 Ssateneth: I accept cash. I just don't send goods until I have cash in hand.
 pigeons: paypal isn't cash, maybe not everyone supa borrowed from even uses usd, the deal was for btc, maybe they want btc
 Ssateneth: He can buy bitcoins with cash though
 pigeons: he doesn't have cash, he has paypal

 thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: The article does not discuss "race". That's your own contribution. More generally, it's quite clear reading it that it follows a cultural rather than physical anthropology vein, and so your racial preoccupation is wholly misplaced.
 thestringpuller: The article does not discuss inferiority, that is again your very own contribution. (It does discuss difference, obviously, but that's something else).
 thestringpuller: He places the downfall of native american tribes on the fact that they were too "confused" to really understand ownership and thus got owned due to their backwardsness. The reason why most native tribes did not have free-hold land ownership treaties was because
 thestringpuller: Makes no difference what follows that "because." Did you do your homework ? No you didn't because. F. Next time, do your homework.
 thestringpuller: More generally, it is not okay to run around calling "retardedness" anything that doesn't jive with whatever little you groked of the ideological mishmash being presented as a viable alternative to reality by whatever second tier college you happen to be partying at.
 thestringpuller: been working on writing my on 3d pipeline for class in python
 thestringpuller: cause we just discussed the "university students" a few hours ago
 thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: question about options, when I purchase a put for this month as you said it's american style right? So basically I have until Oct 31st to exercise on the option's strike price?
 thestringpuller: hopefully it doesn't go below 11 right before new options are issued
