jcpham: or was this the intention or not

mircea_popescu: the prevailing party gets up to 10 btc back (depending what % of their claim is granted)
jcpham: are we to judge our own dsalary is my question

jurov: i'd get unbelieving stare, perhaps
jurov: not that it can't be improved... but removing it completely, srsly?
mircea_popescu: sure.
jcpham: removing a lot of these societal structures implies a lot of death
pigeons: well, at least whining
jcpham: not whining!
mircea_popescu: listen, killing someione is not the trivial matter it appears to be in video games.
mircea_popescu: even if given free reign to kill anyone at any time most people couldn't be arsed.

jcpham: i somewhat agree with it
dub: the hilarious thing about libertarians and anti-state crowd
jcpham: the worls is full of producers and consumers

pigeons: it was engaged because instead of mircea_popescu just being a normal human, he used a customer service case to not fix the issue so he could force his customer to sue him to get justice, just so he could promote his rota

jcpham: so what's the point now? to learn from it
dub: yeah you did tbh
jcpham: or just get shit on
jcpham: FWIW i 'm not seeing any volunteers
jcpham: you have about 11 months to get your shit together
dub: its obviously the guys fault but forcing the rota to deal with it is not good for either rota or mpex imo
pigeons: if you are going to make a point that people can use your rota and it is a good alternative dispute method, forcing the issue on something like this when you just should have credited the dide without all the hassle is shitty
mircea_popescu: pigeons i should have credited the dude w/o the hassle ?
jurov: pigeons, it would be good if you included the reasoning in your judgement
mircea_popescu: he's absolutely the last guy who sends ANY ammt to mpex and gets crtedited.
pigeons: my reasoning was included,
mircea_popescu: that's a certainty.
pigeons: "MPex does disclaim responsibility for customer errors in depositing, but correcting this error is a reasonable part of fiduciary duty."
jcpham: the problem is the fees, not the deposit
jcpham: that's where the uncertainty is
jcpham: to me, the fee is negligible given the deposit amount
dub: what fees?
mircea_popescu: how;s the relation relevant ?
pigeons: i wanted to include that i thought the rota was a good idea and didnt expect mircea_popescu would pt barnum it
jcpham: but i see now it is not negligble at al
jcpham: the fee is just a bonus
jcpham: we're talking about .00005 at max bitcoin transaction
mircea_popescu: pigeons the reason nobody was using it was (i understand now) the justified fear that people are not equipped to judge.
jcpham: in fees for the 130 btc
mircea_popescu: sadly this was proven true, luckily it was proven true on a modest case of little import.
jcpham: for all the ORTA fees are just icing on the cake
dub: so does MP get the neg rating?
jcpham: the 20 btc in fees is icing on the cake for someone
jcpham: it always will be
dub: or just the 100btc loss
dub: 130*
pigeons: jcpham: explain the fees thing
jcpham: so we think or we know it was his funds and we decide to return the funds
jcpham: straight away once that decision is made, the fess are what decides everything
jcpham: the fee split
pigeons: i know it says dont fuck up your deposits, and im careful cause i know mircea_popescu will keep it, but if he's gonna use this to try to push his rota, well fact is it is a breach of fiduciary duty it is totally reasonable to fix this when shown proof
mircea_popescu: i was considering doing that, yes.
jcpham: also the whole fiduciary duty claim is only relevant given non-refund
mircea_popescu: but i'm not happy with how it works, so i won't do it in the future.
dub: mircea_popescu: what changed?
mircea_popescu: dub about what ?
jcpham: so assume we determine the funds to be his, and we also determine that funds will be returned, there is no breach
dub: about considering refunding him if/when shown proof
pigeons: jcpham: no
mircea_popescu: dub historically if you sent the wrong amt you're fucked.
mircea_popescu: i was considering changing this policy, via the rota.
pigeons: mircea_popescu could have settled with the guy then there was no breach
mircea_popescu: it failed to work, so i'm going back to what historically worked very well.
dub: mircea_popescu: I don't understand how the rota could change that, its your policy
mircea_popescu: i was considering relaxing it.
pigeons: but mircea_popescu forced him to sue cause mircea_popescu wanted to promote his rota, and we are his pawns in that
dub: the rota is a binary decision maker, not a policy generating device
jcpham: mircea_popescu did wences ask for his money back
jcpham: i assumed that he DID NOT
mircea_popescu: surely.
jcpham: i see
jcpham: my ruling stands
jcpham: i'm not discussing this anymore
pigeons: we are a cheap customer service department for him
dub: I don;t understand how it went from trying to help the guy to rota
jcpham: see pigeons
jurov: pigeons, did you ask about logs between mircea and wences? to confirm if mircea forced him to sue ?
jurov: or it's just your assumption?
jcpham: good point jurov
jcpham: now i know that i need to interrogate everyone
pigeons: jurov: i asked mircea_popescu
pigeons: it is also in the comments on the general rota post
pigeons: changing the policy via the rota?
jcpham: it was understanding that the parties didn't try to resolve it amicably - straight to rota, no discussion
jcpham: now that i know discussion came before the rota case
pigeons: no, mircea_popescu coached wences on how to format his claim
jcpham: i'm much more firm in my decison
jcpham: fucking precedent or not
mircea_popescu: pigeons wait, what's the problem with that exactly ?
pigeons: i didnt mind the keep your money policy too much but he made him bring this case, and no way i can find that it is reasonable in this instance
dub: it makes no sense if that is true
pigeons: mircea_popescu: the problem is this isn't an organic dispute, you would have paid the guy, but you decided if you made him go through the rota you would get publicity for it
mircea_popescu: no, actually, i wouldn't have paid the guy.
pigeons: ok then the rota did its job
pigeons: yay rota
mircea_popescu: *shrug*
dub: mircea_popescu: it says in your sumbission that you would be prepared to pay him
mircea_popescu: since he sued.
pigeons: i thought mircea_popescu's submission was an offer to settle without going through this, but when i spoke with him he said no
mircea_popescu: next time someone tries that i'll just ignore it and that's the end of that story.
jcpham: problem solved.
mircea_popescu: basically yay rota, it managed to lock itself out of pretty much the only subject matter anyone thought it worthy of considering
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SDICE] 39 @ 0.53 = 20.67 BTC [-]
dub: mircea_popescu: that doesnt make an sense, your policy is that he would not be refunded, why would that change during a rota case?
mircea_popescu: not entirely sure if that means it'll just die in a corner somewhere, but seems quite likely.
pigeons: if rota decided with what you agreed, you would have made it policy
pigeons: and used the rota to back your policy
dub: I think this is actually a win for mircea_popescu
pigeons: but since it decided against you it isnt good policy what the rota decides
jcpham: i can't see how it can be a loss
jcpham: other than 9btc
mircea_popescu: pigeons if it made a reasonable decision it might have i nthe future had more important stuff brought before it.
pigeons: of course its a win, he either didnt have to pay, or else his rota gets promted and he pays what he owed
mircea_popescu: if it made an unreasonable decision it likely won't.
mircea_popescu: hard enough to push the concept as it is, even if we were to believe judges are marginally qualified and someqwhat sane
mircea_popescu: if we don't believe either of those it's a dead sell, no matter how hard i push it
mircea_popescu: and i don't push dead sells.
dub: if the guy had been forced to use the rota and lost, incurring further cost it would be even more of a joke
pigeons: well it won't be very useful if its only used for what you bring forward to it
mircea_popescu: dude. kids are born toothless
dub: wtf is an mpex custoemr service dispute doing in rota
mircea_popescu: and they only chew what their parents bring to them
pigeons: dub: exactly
mircea_popescu: what did you expect, to start by considering a five million btc case ?
pigeons: dub: actually, the reason is so he can promote his rota
dub: pigeons: then your decision is double wrong
mircea_popescu: no. the reason is so that you people can show you can judge.
mircea_popescu: it's what's known as an opportunity.
jcpham: the only thing i can possibly imagine that we did wrong was split the fees incorrectly
jcpham: no one will convince me otherwise
dub: pigeons: 1) because the policy 'wences' agreed to by using mpex is clear and you ruled against that. 2) mpex would have looked a lot worse having forced the use of rota then winning
mircea_popescu: jcpham that's pretty much it. you allocated the cost of fucking up to the party that didn't fuck up.
pigeons: could not make someone pay to get justice
mircea_popescu: ahahahaah
mircea_popescu: baby, socialism is for fiat.
mircea_popescu: this is btc.
dub: I think you caused this by using the rota for something so trivial tbh
pigeons: i am very upset this was a rota case
dub: next rota case, should I have cornflakes or museli for breakfast
dub: so does mircea_popescu get neg rated?
mircea_popescu: dub it's unavoidable it will start small.
mircea_popescu: people won't risk their money on something untried.
mircea_popescu: and in retrospect that is a wise approach.
dub: that is what the whole thing is about right? judges donate their reputation to uphold the reputation of others
pigeons: dub: he does if he fails to make good on the judgement
dub: I see
mircea_popescu: whence all this arrogance anwyay ?
jcpham: a tx fee and a lot less time could have resolved this
mircea_popescu: "something so small
mircea_popescu: " ? what bs is that.
mircea_popescu: do something small well.
pigeons: something small like customer service?
mircea_popescu: something small like whatever can be had.
dub: mircea_popescu: nah, its a dumb thing for the rota
mircea_popescu: you're not part of the scotus, just yet. so, you know, little room to thumb nose.
dub: look at the notes in the comments, you are agreeing to reimburse him
mircea_popescu: dub yes, it was a simple case.
dub: so he got his money back, good result?
jcpham: it is the fees, dub
jcpham: there is an idea that the fees represent
dub: why is the rulling against you a problem if thats what the rota is for, processing your customer service enquiries
mircea_popescu: dub because now any of the judges can start spamming my address with 100 btc payments
jcpham: apparently we shit on that idea
mircea_popescu: sueing
pigeons: it shows that if you expect service from mircea_popescu you better pay to sue him and win
mircea_popescu: then getting paid for the process.
mircea_popescu: it's a fucking hole.
dub: so you wanted to win, then pay him back?
jcpham: 1) if the claimant paid the funds
mircea_popescu: dub the idea was to allocate the win neutrally.
jcpham: 2) if the claimant can prove ownership of said funds
pigeons: mp paid 9 btc to get his rota promoted and scare people into being more careful depositing because of raised awareness of the hassle of errors
pigeons: a bargain
dub: mircea_popescu: you appear to agree to return the funds or are at least satisfied with his signing of the message, if you had won the case would have looked even more retarded
mircea_popescu: dub : they could have allocated fractional.
mircea_popescu: pigeons what happens now if you send 100.0 btc, sue, get back 100 + 10 fee + 3 for judging it ?
mircea_popescu: am i out 3 btc for each 100 you send ?
jcpham: bank.
jcpham: that's what
pigeons: i dont know mircea_popescu that isnt clear to me
mircea_popescu: heh.
dub: ^
pigeons: where does the 3 come from
pigeons: we tried asking
mircea_popescu: i thought i answered, but again :
pigeons: we thought it came from the looser's 10
mircea_popescu: two parties to any trial. each contributes 10 btc, for a total of 20.
dub: either mpex policy is 'you fuckup the deposit you lose it, no question' or 'don't fuckup but we may be able to fix it'
jcpham: as i understand it: each case will have at least 20 btc in fess paid
mircea_popescu: 3 judges to any trial, each gets 3 btc, for a total of 9.
pigeons: ok, winner gets his 10 back then that leaves 1
jcpham: 3 judges at 3btc apiece leaves 11BTC to split in every case
mircea_popescu: the winner gets a fraction of 10 btc = to the % he's allocated.
pigeons: i would have charged you more than 140 if i could have
pigeons: but his is whole at 140
pigeons: he is whole at 140
mircea_popescu: very odd.
pigeons: 130 + 10 fees you caused him to incur
mircea_popescu: you know, money isn't soemthing to be redistributed to the needy. or do you ?
jcpham: in my mind it takes little to no effort to refund someone
mircea_popescu: you still haven't answered the above question.
jcpham: how much effort is actually required
pigeons: he isnt needy, its his money
mircea_popescu: pigeons what happens now if you send 100.0 btc, sue, get back 100 + 10 fee + 3 for judging it ? <<< this.
pigeons: i dont know
mircea_popescu: do you plan to answer or should i just drop it ?
mircea_popescu: rigjht.
pigeons: that's over my head
mircea_popescu: well tell you what, that's no way to judge.
jcpham: well i'd get 113 BTC
jcpham: i know 4 other people who can do the same
mircea_popescu: 100 times a day.
dub: mircea_popescu: you should have thought about it before using a court to settle stupid shit
mircea_popescu: dub all shit to be settled is stupid
pigeons: you owed him 130, the fees were to be allocated, since you caused the fees, you pay them not him
mircea_popescu: if it weren't stupid it wouldn't end in a court.
dub: he got the same amount back that he spent, you lost the case, you incur charges
mircea_popescu: pigeons i didn't "cause" him to send rounded numbers dood.
pigeons: no way you get anything of the fees when you could have settled it without rota
pigeons: you didnt cause it, it is reasonable that you credit him
pigeons: you diudnt, you pay
mircea_popescu: yeah, well, i guess this shows why the random person, even if well meaning, can not be a judge.
jcpham: damn
pigeons: you did cause the rounded anyway, by your retarted one address deposit system
kakobrekla: ^^
mircea_popescu: lol mkay.

kakobrekla: just like bit bet
jcpham: you guys should make bets on rota disputes from now
jcpham: maybe you can clean up

mod6: (12:18) < pigeons> you did cause the rounded anyway, by your retarted one address deposit system << this is amazing

dub: at first glance this seems open and shut, he failed to utilise mpex per teh conditions he agreed to, he loses
pigeons: it wasnt a case against the breach of conditions
dub: but in the 'case notes' there is some arbitaration and an inferred agreement to refund, so a win for the claimant is the intuitive result
pigeons: it was breach of fiduciary duty, which he did breach cause he failed to take a reasonable action
pigeons: i asked prior about that inferred agreement and mp said it wasnt what it appeared to us
pigeons: but yeah sure looks like one to me too
mircea_popescu: aaanyways.
jcpham: still need rassah's ruling
mircea_popescu: i think this has been discussed to it's demise
mircea_popescu: i wonder what's gonna be the next one
pigeons: wow the fact that you actually expected to win is shocking
mircea_popescu: i didn't expect to win dood.
mod6: its not about who won the case. its about the damn ruling.
mircea_popescu: i expected the guy to win his 130 btc back.
mod6: jesus fucking christ.

pigeons: why didnt you just pay him instead of making us go through this if you expected him to win?
pigeons: why would the system award you anything for acting in bad faith
mircea_popescu: pigeons so that you may prove yourselves as actually takeable seriously as judges
mircea_popescu: in spite of no qualifications, prior experience etc.
dub: bad call
mircea_popescu: i guess lol
Namworld: So... can I use the rota for the unclaimed giga.etf case? =P

mircea_popescu: pigeons you forget it's a voluntary system.
mircea_popescu: erring on either side is equally bad.
mircea_popescu: it has to be quite arrowstraight.
pigeons: well cause you think its an error doesnt make it so
mircea_popescu: ...
pigeons: you lost, you caused the process by not settling beforehand, so you pay the fees
mircea_popescu: dude. you created a pump.
mircea_popescu: peopel can now claim infinite btc from me.
pigeons: i didnt creat e this
dub: no you did
pigeons: dont they still have to win?
mircea_popescu: all it takes is for them to send rounded btc.
dub: its easy for you to fix though, just make the rule hard and fast, no refunds
mircea_popescu: dub yup
dub: its in the ToS, deal with it
jurov: mircea i don't understand one thing. why you can't just set a hefty fee for resolving mistakes?
mircea_popescu: i have no choice, obviously.
pigeons: it was a rule, but mp told him to go to rota
dub: I think the rota did mpex a favour ruling this way
mircea_popescu: jurov cause that's unfair to the poor.
jurov: oh, so better take everything. i see.
mircea_popescu: jurov hey, at least it's fair.
pigeons: its not fair, guy had to go through all this just to get his shit back
mircea_popescu: dub well quite possibly.
mircea_popescu: pigeons shit he missent.
pigeons: and MP gets publicity
mircea_popescu: dude i dunno, seriously, mail your house keys to some random address
mircea_popescu: then expect they pai
mircea_popescu: for the tiome you couldn't go inside cause you didn't have your keys or w/e
mircea_popescu: and the trouble of finding them again
pigeons: um wasnt random
mircea_popescu: 130.0 is random.
pigeons: no
pigeons: its the argument he gave to the deposit command
mircea_popescu: what i most of all wonder is,
mircea_popescu: why hasn't this lively debate take place in teh comment section ?!
jurov: mircea, so if i mail the keys, they get to keep the house? is it what you're saying?
pigeons: cause no one wants to email you to get credits to read a web page
mircea_popescu: comments are always free ?!
pigeons: nope i can only see this one page
mircea_popescu: dude... comments are always and in all circumstancess visible.
jcpham: i think if you want to preserve this in posterity for all to comment on, it needs to be moved elsewhere
jcpham: it's very personal right now
mircea_popescu: i dun particularly want to preserve it
dub: ^
dub: lets all agree it was a fuckup and forget about it
pigeons: nope we all think we are right
dub: maybe there will be a real case for the rota one day but it now seems unlikely
mircea_popescu: that's why it's so fascinating lol
mircea_popescu: dub quite.
jcpham: hopefully the next judges will nt be so biased
mircea_popescu: i doubt it has any relevance to anyone other than the ppl involved tho
jurov: <jurov> mircea, so if i mismail the keys, they get to keep the house? is it what you're saying?
mircea_popescu: i think for everyone else its "o, that thing that couldn't have worked didn't ? o wow."
dub: mircea_popescu - the first person to create his own justice system, and the first to destroy his own justice system
jurov: ^ can you at least reply to this?
mircea_popescu: jurov no, you may ask for the keys back, and even get them
mircea_popescu: but you can't get more ffs.
mircea_popescu: dub justice is apparently too prudish for me.
pigeons: he didnt get more
pigeons: explain that please
pigeons: he paid 140 and got 140
jcpham: metaphorically, wences got back his own keys plus a nother set of keys to another house?
jurov: but in this case it's like they told me they're moving into the house, it's reasonable
mircea_popescu: this is literally "he should get the keys, the stamps for having asked and if we could we'd have given him all paid tow weeks vacation to boot"
dub: courts award costs to the winner, fyi
dub: the idea is teh winner goes away without having lost money
markedathome: pigeons: paid 130 and got 140 surely?
pigeons: right
pigeons: markedathome: he paid 140 130 +10 fees
dub: markedathome: he paid a 10btc fee to use the rota
jcpham: the only other option i would've entertained was for both parties to lose
markedathome: oh right.
dub: to an outsider reading that blog post it actually look slike the rota worked fine
pigeons: should all be done in irc and log posted
dub: aside from mircea_popescu taxing himself 10btc to handly a customer service case
jcpham: yes, yes it does
dub: then, he might have paid someone 10 btc to handle it
mircea_popescu: dub it reads like mp taxing himself to create the system, and paying people to be idiots and subvert deposit process.
dub: 10btc is pretty cheap for 3 judges
mircea_popescu: sorta like i'm the government, i guess.
mircea_popescu: except in btc there's no such thing.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8100 @ 0.00061132 = 4.9517 BTC [-]
dub: even internet judges
dub: mircea_popescu: you eveil, evil state you
markedathome: what would the difference have been with something like judge.me?
mircea_popescu: basically this is a ruling saying "it is right and proper for people to disregard instructions and send anything they want to mpex"
mircea_popescu: which is pretty boneheaded.
jcpham: i do not agree with that
pigeons: no but it happens, especially with the weird deposit system
dub: neither
jcpham: i see your point, but based on the details of this case
jcpham: that is not true
mircea_popescu: pigeons "it happens" ?
pigeons: and when it does happen, and you've shown mpex that you made it error, they dont fix it, hence the rota decision
jurov: no. it is ruling saying "it is improper for mpex to keep everything if user makes a mistake"
jcpham: especially if the user sends the correct deposit
mircea_popescu: jurov yeah. same thing.
pigeons: mistakes dont happen mircea_popescu ?
markedathome: mircea_popescu: maybe offer, 1) anonymous deposit - lose at risk even with signed / authenticated ownership
jcpham: after the mistake
mircea_popescu: pigeons mistakes are paid for BY THOSE WHO MAKLE THEM
markedathome: 2) custom addresses - lose anonymity
mircea_popescu: not by those who have the most money.
mircea_popescu: not by those who are the bigger entity
mircea_popescu: not by those who we identify as "the man" in our misguided quest for social justice.
mircea_popescu: etc.
pigeons: mircea_popescu: actually, it was reasonable in this case to resolve his mistake, that was the ruling
dub: no, its a ruling saying 'if you are going to enter into arbitration regarding incorrect depost amounts, do that privately'
mircea_popescu: dub cheeky ruling then.
mircea_popescu: if that actually is the case, i should certainly dissolve it.

pigeons: control freak
dub: in a real court if you forced a case to be raised, then during the hearing capitualted to the other party, the court would probably impose an additional fine on you for wasting its time
mircea_popescu: no but wtf bs is this, "We are too good for the case at hand"
mircea_popescu: dub the idea here is to create a new system, not to rehash the old.
pigeons: dub: that is exactly how i felt
mircea_popescu: the entire point is to have voluntary courts, which is to say, courts which can be relied on to be fair. by both parties.
dub: well then the rota wasn't what I and apparently others thought
mircea_popescu: well i guess not.
jcpham: fairness is a relative term
pigeons: it was fair to both parties, wences was made whole, mp lost nothing other than the fees
mircea_popescu: jcpham in no interpretation of fairness can you promote a judgement based on one single party's pov.
mircea_popescu: "he paid 130+10 and should get back 140"
mircea_popescu: that's fine.
dub: I understand how mircea_popescu feels though
mircea_popescu: but it's half the story, and not good enough.
pigeons: mircea_popescu: that's absolutely the issue
dub: I took a guy to court for selling me a boat that leaked, the ruled in his favour because we didnt have anything about it not leaking in a contract
mircea_popescu: "nothing other than the fees" is btc.
dub: true story
pigeons: any judgement involving mircea_popescu keeping something would have had to show he was being reasonable, and he wasn't
dub: had to pay his fees
jcpham: i'd like to know where the original wording is.....
mircea_popescu: " reasonable" ?!
jurov: if i'd have a policy saying to clients "if you make a mistake, screw you" and there's no real reason why it has to be so, it's only reasonable the court would say "screw your policy"
mircea_popescu: wtf is that lol.
jcpham: the orginal wording were it says mpex keeps funds mistakenly sent or incorrect in size
mircea_popescu: jurov no, it's not. the court isn't above the contract
mircea_popescu: again, this isn't fiat world and socialist government imposing it.
mircea_popescu: jcpham it's in the old options page somewhere
jcpham: i know it is somewhere
jcpham: because i remember readin it
mircea_popescu: DEPOSIT|{sum}, where the sum is an integer, written in BTC (note that you can not deposit less than 10 BTC). You will be quoted an exact sum, which you must send to the exchange address (1Fx3N5iFPDQxUKhhmDJqCMmi3U8Y7gSncx). Don't round anything, the decimals are there to identify you as the beneficiary. You will be credited the full amount.
pigeons: i thought about giving it to mp since he does say he keeps errors, but in law that wont hold up, thats not reasonable
mircea_popescu: there's that in the current faq
jurov: the court isn't above the contract... who decided, you?
jurov: rota just decided else
mircea_popescu: jurov yes.
mircea_popescu: well rota is well fucked then.
pigeons: even if a contract spells that and this happened a court rules this way
jcpham: yes but i thought there was wording that said something along the lines of "if it is wrong, you do not get it back"
mircea_popescu: jcpham there's gonna be lol.
jcpham: which is a customer service nightmare
jcpham: if you relegate me to customer service, I'm going to serve your customers
jcpham: for better or worse
mircea_popescu: that's not what a judge does.
mircea_popescu: turns out this banal case was actually incredibly fucking intricate huh.
jcpham: i wouldn't think so either
jcpham: but here we are.
jcpham: i think everyone had the best intentions
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure, yeah.
mircea_popescu: but i squarely don't see how anyone would ever consider responding to a case, ever.
mircea_popescu: i mean, why ? run the risk of purely unilateral sidetaking... to what avail ? makes no sense.
jcpham: the next case may be unilateral against the claimant
mircea_popescu: that's no consolation.
pigeons: yeah you always run the risk of unilateral sidetaking
jcpham: the fees are the only way you have been harmed
mircea_popescu: if people wanted to gamble they'd go to sdice
pigeons: this was just clearcut mircea_popescu you owed him the money, he won, loser pays fees
jcpham: it seems the real precedent is the loser pays the fees
jcpham: but i don't like the winner/loser description
jcpham: it wasn't necessary to frame this case this way imho
pigeons: if another case it works out differently fine, that doesnt have to be a precedent, but in this case the fees were clearly incurred by mircea_popescu being unwilling to work out the issue despite having the facts beforehand
mircea_popescu: pigeons except the loser is the party that made no mistake.
mircea_popescu: which is insane.
jcpham: the implication is that the "mistake" was not returning the funds
jcpham: as quickly as possible
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12600 @ 0.00061495 = 7.7484 BTC [+]
jcpham: if the guy hadn't send the correct amount
mircea_popescu: this can not be a mistake. it's not part of the deal.
jcpham: i can see him not getting his money back
pigeons: its pretty well established in law actually that you don't pay for mistakes
mircea_popescu: the court can't substitute its own moral judgements for the contract between the parties.
jcpham: can't it
pigeons: he fulfilled his contract, sent the money, but he made a mistake
mircea_popescu: he did not fulfill his contract, no.
pigeons: you had the obligation to fix that for him
mircea_popescu: nope.
pigeons: well then how come you lost?
mircea_popescu: i had no such obligation, quite specifically.
mircea_popescu: because i was nice and you were stupid, tbh.\
jcpham: i would seem that due to the lack of rules, the rota can make all sorts of WILDLY INACCURATE decisions
mircea_popescu: jcpham yeah.
mircea_popescu: reading the above, i now regred i didn't more clearly stress the supremacy of contract point
mircea_popescu: i can clearly see in retrospect how this "obvious" point was only obvious to me.
pigeons: no but even a written contract saying that mistakes in deposits are kept would have resulted the same
mircea_popescu: that's idiocy.
pigeons: because the intent of the contract is obviously what's material
jcpham: i'm still looking for the actual wording on MPEX (now)
jcpham: where it says incorrect deposits are kept
mircea_popescu: jcpham i quoted it above, grep deposits
jcpham: because this fact was discussed
pigeons: i knew this was policy, but in this particular case, it was reasonable that mircea_popescu credit the amount showed to have been sent
mircea_popescu: pigeons i guess so.
mircea_popescu: what's unreasonable tho, is to expect me to pay the costs of doing so.
markedathome: the /faq.html entry for DEPOSIT{sum} I thought would have had the same text as that of the command (in fact all of the commands should)
pigeons: which costs, your time was unavoidable here, but you didnt have to pay the fees if you settled before rota
jcpham: to be even more specific mircea_popescu
jcpham: I thought you had specifcs, like
jcpham: when it first opened
jcpham: there was a sentence saying you didn't return deposits that were wrong
mircea_popescu: pigeons why would i "settle before the rota" ? what bs is that?
mircea_popescu: jcpham let me dig it up
pigeons: because you had all the info we had
pigeons: why should this have gone to rota?
jcpham: i would like to re-read it if it still there
pigeons: only reason (other than bad faith wanting to promote rota) would be you didnt want to pay
mircea_popescu: Before sending the sum quoted you have to send an email containing at the very least the address you want benefits (through either the later exercise or sale of your contracts) forwarded to and the sum quoted to you. This allows you to be identified. If you fail to do this it may be impossible to ever identify you as the owner of the respective contracts/bitcoins, and so they may be forever lost.
pigeons: it shouldnt have gone to rota because he made it clear to you he paid the money
mircea_popescu: pigeons he only made it clear at the rota, actually.
mircea_popescu: once he finally signed the thing
jcpham: i suggest a new irc channel for this discussion should it arise again
jcpham: possibly a new forum format
mircea_popescu: why, we drownign out the assbot ?
assbot: naw
pigeons: im not doing a forum, but an irc channel agreed
mircea_popescu: you can go to #trilema.
jcpham: other than mircea_popescu's blog
pigeons: i cant read his blog it asks for a fee
jcpham: i'm dependant on google translate
mircea_popescu: lately i write in english, still ?
pigeons: sort of
jcpham: sorry i didn't know you switched
jcpham: but the case is in english
markedathome: mircea_popescu: faq.html, Q23, *definition
jcpham: untranslated
mircea_popescu: i changed like 3 months ago
markedathome: rota peeps - faq q24, whilst not strictly mentioning deposits, isn't this also relevant?
mircea_popescu: 23. What will you do about stolen coins ? How will you help the rightful owner ?
mircea_popescu: By defition the rightful owner of any coins is "he who can send them". If you take issue with that, please stick to fiat. You are not ready for Bitcoin yet.
mircea_popescu: haha ty.
jcpham: my bad for not disabling google translate
mircea_popescu: defition lol
mircea_popescu: thios was proofed like 8 times. STILL SPELLING ERRORS IN IT OMG
jcpham: Q23 was addressed markedathome
jcpham: it was never at question who the present owner of the 130 btc was
jcpham: the question was past ownership and fiduciary responsibility
jcpham: throwing the term "fiduciary responsibility" changes things
jcpham: in there
markedathome: I thought it was with two deposits of 130btc and only one order, along with not being able to sign with the originating key.

jcpham: ok, ty.
jcpham: i have the type of memory where i read things and usually cannot forget them
jcpham: that sentence was there at one point in time
mircea_popescu: i think you're thinking the old mpoe page faq

Namworld: I'll try and find the link I guess
mircea_popescu: normally i would have loved to say yes, but under the circumstances i don't see myself signing.
mircea_popescu: bullshit "claimant is always right and mp is annoying and rich" judgements i don't need a court for, they're a dime a dozen.
