smickles: one month
mircea_popescu: a yeah
mircea_popescu: tho im pretty sure there's barely two weeks left.
mircea_popescu: more like 10 days
smickles: yeah, but it means that the miners ar prolly using or saving most of the generated btc recently
smickles: 'cause if they were selling it, it'd tank the price
smickles: well, maybe i'm wrong here,
mircea_popescu: alternatively, it means that mtgox's marketshare leaking has been going steady and possibly aggravating
mircea_popescu: to the point they don't have half the market.
smickles: mtgox 30day volume is 10mil usd

mircea_popescu: only in bitcoinland untested and unassembled items are "ready to ship"

pigeons: ah, it seems bfl componenets are "being loaded on a truck" for assembly when they arrive
mircea_popescu: How are the numbers looking for Batch1?
mircea_popescu: -I've got a pretty solid handle on number of units paid with BTC and completed Credit Cards. However I have over 350 54G units for which the credit card payments need to be verified. If every single one of those orders reconciles to a payment (doubtful), we'll be at around 800 of the 54G units paid for and in the ship-pile.
mircea_popescu: wait, they sold 800 units so took like 1mn ?!
pigeons: yeah
pigeons: look at the price of that product
mircea_popescu: like 1k no ?
pigeons: yeah i thought 1200 for the 54g
pigeons: man i am the least informed on bitcoin asic miners anyway

Bugpowder: business

mircea_popescu: litecoin has a tos ?!
mircea_popescu: that's outrageous
mircea_popescu: o, the exchange, not the coin itself nm
mircea_popescu: "The Corporation has zero legal tender exposure in any jurisdiction."
mircea_popescu: heh. i recall the day mpoe-pr turned the tide on the sec panic. i suppose i shall be the only one to recall this.
mircea_popescu: anyway, someone spent a day dilligently hammering c/p'd bits together, i call this progress.
smickles: lol, they have, in their tos, made the "it's not legal tender, so it's not illegal' argument?
mircea_popescu: of sorts.
pigeons: they are now run by BTC-TRADING, INC and so they changed the TOS to what I linked
smickles: lol, 53 lines into it "We urge you to carefully read the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement and all other policies and disclosure statements referenced here or elsewhere on the website. Such policies are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and collectively form part of this Agreement."
smickles: they wait 53 lines to say that you should read it

pigeons: why does nobody hold title to any inputs?
pigeons: i thought private key of the address was so
smickles: pigeons: the btc was there already, no owner ... as i vaugely recall
smickles: and you don't become the owner by having a priv key associated with a btc
pigeons: why not though?
smickles: because you don't control the btc, it stays where it always was?
pigeons: ok thanks
mircea_popescu: pigeons title tho.
mircea_popescu: you have the address so you have the control of the sum. that's posession.
mircea_popescu: whence do you have the title ?
smickles: can you have title to something that the state doesn't give title for?
mircea_popescu: do you mean to claim allodial title, as in, you were given it by god ?
pigeons: yes
mircea_popescu: or else, is it fee simple ? is it from the monarch ? whence do you have it ?
smickles: pigeons: i have title over this domain

mircea_popescu: smickles do you know about the writing contest btw ?
smickles: I should scrabble together something at least
pigeons: there is work on using bitcoin as a title system to real word assets also
pigeons: maybe namecoin is better for that casue you can also add values i dont know
mircea_popescu: well, you're conflating distinct things.
Bugpowder: sigh
mircea_popescu: that the bitcoin protocol may well be used or useful as a record of title is not too relevant in a discussion of actual title to bitcoins
Bugpowder: satoshidice
Bugpowder: just took my glbse moneys
pigeons: yes i see your point mircea_popescu

smickles: Bugpowder: as a shareholder, thankyou
mircea_popescu: lol
pigeons: does last month's satoshi dice loss come out of any dividends this month?
Bugpowder: 27 straight losses
Bugpowder: pigeons yes
mircea_popescu: (f)Immediately upon publication of each Statement of Profit and Loss SatoshiDice will pay to shareholders as dividends a fraction of no less than 100% (one hundred percent) of the Net Profits, if any.
pigeons: ok keep playing then a little more please Bugpowder
mircea_popescu: (h)In case of a monthly loss (which will occur occasionally due to the nature of statistical variance of bets), the loss amount will be carried over to the next month’s profits when calculating Net Profits.
mircea_popescu: yeah, it carries over.
smickles: pigeons: the dooglas chart shows that it's been overcome
smickles: (even accounting for the bitcoin friday donation)
mircea_popescu: smickles what's the numbers ? so i don't have to load the forum
Bugpowder: It's up 3000BTC
mircea_popescu: a not bad.
mircea_popescu: course... a coupla weeks to go, could do -5000 a day or w/e
mircea_popescu: Upon such sale of stock, the owners, officers, and executives of the selling company obligate themselves with a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders.

FabianB: lol
mircea_popescu: or if mtgox accidentally cc'd the entire userbase
mircea_popescu: o no wait, that's already done.
FabianB: hehe, so why do you expect something like that now?
mircea_popescu: force of habit i guess

kakobrekla: hi JWU42, welcome back from the dead :p
JWU42: nice to be back - all well?
kakobrekla: give or take. :)
kakobrekla: you still hashin away?
JWU42: short of giving away far too mcuh BTC to shithead cammers like P and Nef
JWU42: yep - 38 Gh/s +/-
kakobrekla: aha
kakobrekla: did you opt for an upgrade or no?
JWU42: yeah - thankfully i did take those BTC from my P account
kakobrekla: ;>
JWU42: so not all lost
kakobrekla: if bfl delivers ;)
JWU42: heh
JWU42: I am not worried about that frankly
kakobrekla: what calmed you down?
JWU42: but like the single - they said October it ended up being February
JWU42: ASIC might be the same
kakobrekla: might??
kakobrekla: arent they 'late' as we speak
JWU42: yep
kakobrekla: and then josh goes preaching to mp
kakobrekla: what a jackass.
JWU42: I felt the odds of them hitting October were < 1%
kakobrekla: hehe
EskimoBob: damn, why isn't there a backup available from Securities forum before this usagi the ass-hat deleted all his posts.
JWU42: Not sure what Josh said to MP - but he and MP are both strong personalities - not suprising they clash from time to time
kakobrekla: build something like 4chan archive for bitcointalke EskimoBob :)
EskimoBob: kakobrekla: out of what? Snow? :)
EskimoBob: I am not a programmer
temp_kluge: No guruvan today? Could someone tell him to unblock me on the forum when he comes around? ;)
kakobrekla: you can hire one.
kakobrekla: :p
EskimoBob: guruvan? The Trendons shill
kakobrekla: eh?
temp_kluge: Idunno. I just know I can't send him PMs and he did a BDK->BDK.BND exchange a while ago but hasn't filed a claim, yet.
kakobrekla: erryone is fuckin milky shill puppet these days.
EskimoBob: same fuck who uses //// or something like that as a username in btst channel?
mircea_popescu: JWU42 post-btcfailure depression ?
kakobrekla: EskimoBob /// is imsaguy
EskimoBob: OK, sorry
JWU42: I am well passed that now MP - but was not fun for a while
mircea_popescu: well good to hear
JWU42: self induced though - so just disappointed in myself
mircea_popescu: but tbh i didn't think they can make october either.
mircea_popescu: don't be too harsh, it's a learning process.
temp_kluge: (oh - then thanks /// - I did get what you sent on the 14th. Tried calling a week or two ago)
mircea_popescu: most traders worth their salt in the city blew a LOT more than the dollar equiv of a few k btc.
EskimoBob: who cares what others did :)
kakobrekla: temp_kluge who are you talking to?
kakobrekla: ah
temp_kluge: to ///
kakobrekla: imsa is here
mircea_popescu: you need the [s
kakobrekla: ya
kakobrekla: [\\\]
mircea_popescu: [\\\] like that.
kakobrekla: like this.
kakobrekla: lol
temp_kluge: oh - I mean \\\
kakobrekla: and the square brackets
kakobrekla: and milk.
EskimoBob: use [\\\]
mircea_popescu: EskimoBob kakobrekla has a point. someoneshould archive btctalk
temp_kluge: I pm'd. Not used to web client, but normal clients refuse to connect to Freenode anymore. Using mobile tether for Internet.
temp_kluge: Someone come up with a Bitcoin-like decentralized solution for asset issuance/trading, yet?
smickles: colored coins seem to be proof-of-worky
smickles: and I think i recall one issure switching to them
EskimoBob: btctalk archive is nice but lots of important stuff is missing by now.
mircea_popescu: well... it'd be for the future obviously
mircea_popescu: smickles the big problem, of course, being that with no gatekeepers it'll be glbse v2.0
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/h1GZG.gif
smickles: it has that risk and likelyhood, certainly
smickles: hopefully there are some diamonds in the rough
smickles: or
mircea_popescu: ya but... disaster of commons.
EskimoBob: if you have loads of hdd space and access to unlimited bandwidth, even wget can build a archive of bitcointalk.
smickles: hopefully, if it becomes popular, there will be a gatekeeper-cuirator sort out there
mircea_popescu: how'd it be set ?
smickles: sort've like the BBB in 'merica

smickles: a list of known vetted businesses
mircea_popescu: smickles look at what happens on the threads where scams are called out : a few shils yell loudly
mircea_popescu: "average people" aren't interested to participate.
mircea_popescu: as a result a fake sort of public agreement is created, for those foolish enough to credit it.
smickles: it may be possible for a trusted elite to form who judge these things
mircea_popescu: yeah, it may be possible.
kakobrekla: hehe
kakobrekla: bbl
smickles: well, kakobrekla just opted out of the club
smickles: ;)
mircea_popescu: he's not married. you have to be married to be in the trusted elite.
kakobrekla: again, that can be done instantly.
mircea_popescu: lmao
smickles: ah, syntax ambiguity
kakobrekla: well not what i had in mind but i guess it could work as well
mircea_popescu: make sure you film the baby coming out.
kakobrekla: ;>
kakobrekla: on that note, change bbl to brb.
kakobrekla: off i go.
EskimoBob: did namworld run BTC-BOND?

mircea_popescu: you think btc went up on wp news ?
Lyspooner: yes
mircea_popescu: went up on 16th tho.

mircea_popescu: smickles i'm not keeping that close a track.
mircea_popescu: why ?
mircea_popescu: Lyspooner o right you are, announcement on the 15th huh
Lyspooner: i think it is probably a coincidence
smickles: mircea_popescu: just curious
mircea_popescu: Lyspooner the trades are pretty old tho.
mircea_popescu: then again, i guess it's possible they knew on the 5th or w/e

mircea_popescu: but since we're talking, i just finished a new article! http://trilema.com/2012/this-marriage-thing/
Doffx: Arent there like a million dating sites now anyhow? Seems like that should make it easy to hook up these days.
Doffx: Ive been married 12 years so dont know what dating is anymore, but before the wife I had no trouble getting women without much money.
mircea_popescu: Doffx dating is this thing whereby women are desperate for male attention and will literally do anything whatsoever.
Doffx: The women I married made about 4 times what I did and still makes double now.
Doffx: That sound like what I remember as well mircea_popescu.
kakobrekla: hm
kakobrekla: Furthermore no man could buy more than one woman-cow. < poligamy?

mircea_popescu: i don't really intend to have any in a jurisdiction that has difficulty with the notion that they're mine to kill if it comes to it.
jurov: good luck to find such a jurisdiction
mircea_popescu: what do i care ?
mircea_popescu: it's the jurisdiction's job.
thestringpuller: you sound like a negro mother
jurov: i guess some people will be enlightened by your decision to not procreate (especially if pr girl has the same opinion)

mircea_popescu: jurov most girls i know have the same opinion.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller you know, to this day the us won't declare that they won't use nuclear weapons. apparently it is necessary for security.
