nubbins`: yeah, apparently i've been advised to figure out who the guy's lawyer is and present myself to him
jurov: you knew he added securities to bitcoinbourse?
jurov: another "next mpex"

mircea_popescu: you seem to be having a bit of a problem there dotcoin.
dotcoin: i think there are some other guys have much more problems than me
dotcoin: so tell me guys where is the problem
nubbins`: your lawyer got in touch with me
nubbins`: i gave him all the info i had about pankkake
mircea_popescu: dotcoin inasmuch as you're trying to start some sort of exchange with no experience and no web of trust presence...
dotcoin: i am not your friend nubbins nor i want your friend
dotcoin: you think i have no experience? as you all guys runs many exchanges here i see
dotcoin: or any other usefull stuff
dotcoin: for one is more and for the other less
dotcoin: but classifieds this me or my company as a scammer
nubbins`: your lawyer was nice. you are not as nice as your lawyer.
dotcoin: nubbins stop talk to me please you are simple little trol not talking with you
dotcoin: you can read when you in problems with me on the letter he will send you
nubbins`: how in the world is your lawyer going to send a letter to me :(
dotcoin: but what is now the problems here is there any serious discussion
dotcoin: why you troll companies in forums
nubbins`: dotcoin, what is your native language? (just curious)
jurov: dotcoin, you refused to say anything about what was doen with bitcoins from bourse IPO
bounce: "pankkake" is a language now?
jurov: that's even less than several known scammers
jurov: so for me, your case is clear
nubbins`: pankkake is the language of love
dotcoin: the case is you are friend of martin and he is not happy to get out of bourse right?
jurov: martin is irrelevant here
jurov: you raised hunders of BTC
jurov: and they are not heard of since
mircea_popescu: nubbins` linguistix specialist says probably dutch or german.
dotcoin: you even know how much we raised
nubbins`: don't panic, i'm only germanic
kanzure: i think i killed gribble :(
dotcoin: and if so what is the problem about a IPO is to raise money or not
jurov: wont gonna look it up, i know i am not getting answer anyway
dotcoin: so jurov tell me please what is your problem now
jurov: tell me about your parents?
jurov: i explained my problem clearly
jurov: last time: 1. you raised bitcoins
dotcoin: not real you tell me i rais hundrets of bitcoins and ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo lawyers are like girlfriends, except better. everyone should have a few.

mircea_popescu: dotcoin you have this strange comparison to the mean mentality.
mircea_popescu: doesn't really matter what you perceive the average to be. the idea is to stand out at the top not to muddle around the middle.
dotcoin: a so jurov i want to tell you what ever your friend martin lies to you is not the truth, and to accuse me for scam in this case in forums is not the best way to hear the other site of this story between martin and me, you are shareholder you try now to accuse me of scam so what i have think about that? do you think is a productive way for your shares? more than i not scam any
jurov: i want numbers, not story
dotcoin: i am a real person i not hide behind aliases and be in a forum a super hero member
dotcoin: all of you guys can meet me if you wan and we can discuss
nubbins`_: not exactly but you can still be prosecuted under the Analogue Act
jurov: nubbins`_: martin is our mutual acquaintance that was supposed to be cofounder of bitcoin bourse and helped me to decide to invest there
dotcoin: cofounder of bitcoin bourse hahaha
nubbins`_: sort of like thickasthieves and neobee?
gribble: Nick 'dotcoin', with hostmask 'dotcoin!5d10ab35@gateway/web/freenode/ip.93.16.171.53', is not identified.
dotcoin: sorry man you are full wrong informed
jurov: and who are you then?
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 well we don't know. guy has a lawyer he can't name and doesn't hide behind nicks but can't introduce himself.
jurov: forensick is martin belobrat and YOU are markus weiler
nubbins`_: mike_c that website looks like it cost about $5 to make
mircea_popescu: mike_c not everyone has python developers at their beak and call.
dotcoin: yes ok now all people can call me Markus Weiler if you are more happy with that
dotcoin: specialy for the trolls without name
mircea_popescu: ok, so you're markus weiler and you try to run bitcoinbourse.
peterl: "i am a real person i not hide behind aliases and be in a forum a super hero member" says a guy named "dotcoin"?

mircea_popescu: dotcoin so now we get to the part where you issued a stock on cryptostocks and then did a forced buyback for a lower price.
nubbins`_: oh my god, Markus Weiler did a forced buyback of stock?
dotcoin: make a force back i think was for 1 share so can be yes
Duffer1: who was running the pass through?
dotcoin: if this one user have a loss will pay him if contact me, ask now why make a force back buy, tell you martin the friend of jurov told me we must sell shares there, as we not have need, this i stop trading on cryptostocks that was simple and not any to to i rip of a guy of 0.0005 btc
mircea_popescu: can you write that out again but in your native language ?
mircea_popescu: it made no sense in english ; i can probably read it in whatever it is you speak.

pankkake: I'm not sure they actually sold it
nubbins`: seems to me like if you remove the per-case judge payment and stick to the yearly sum, the rota would involve a whole lot less QQing
mircea_popescu: nubbins` wouldn't have had any impact in the matter that sunk it
pankkake: there are some passive heatsinks though
pankkake: huge aluminum stuff - but they tell you to have case fans though
nubbins`: mircea_popescu well pretty hard to buy off judges if the judges don't get paid any extra for taking the case
pankkake: I guess you can do it if you underclock
pankkake: I solved the fan issue by putting the machines in another room than the one I'm in
mircea_popescu: well you are. inasmuch the defendant passively receives X btc and is then required to return X+e, the entire thing is an extraction engine
pankkake: though the real annoyance always was the noise of hard drives
pankkake: yeah, my GPU fan died, and those aren't easy to replace :(
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the correct solution to the fan problem is to use fanned tubes
pankkake: back to the slower passive gpu, which at least still works
pankkake: my case has filters, the case wasn't that dusty after months of operation
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: in the post mortem example, all i see is: mpex receives 100btc, mpex returns 100btc, mpex pays judges 3btc each
mircea_popescu: i wonder why there doesn't exist some sort of magnetic heat extractor device!
mircea_popescu: nubbins` so what you mean is, make the cases costless ?
mircea_popescu: what prevents someone from suing everyone in sight if there's no cost to it ?
nubbins`: no cost to it? if you lose, it's a 10btc cost
nubbins`: i left out fees for brevity in my example
nubbins`: consider it suitably modified.
nubbins`: it couldn't lose if it declined to participate
nubbins`: how else would you deal with a case you deemed frivolous?
nubbins`: throw 10btc at it and hope ya get it back?!
Duffer1: what's the incentive to defend yourself ever?
nubbins`: well, if you look at it that way, the rota was a solution in search of a problem
nubbins`: suppose i call chetty a poopyhead and it turns out this damaged her reputation so badly that she lost a 100btc contract. she decides to sue me via rota, i decline.
mircea_popescu: what can i tell you, i'm not mafalda. i figure things out as i go
nubbins`: joke's on you, that doesn't damage my reputation
nubbins`: i can't keep up with them, you tell me :D
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8916 @ 0.0009492 = 8.4631 BTC [+]
nubbins`: maybe the defendant doesn't have to pay a fee because we're not paying the judges per-case anymore
mircea_popescu: everyone with their head in a box, X-coin Y-coin blergh
mircea_popescu: such as judges no longer actually wish to judge. it becomes morel ike jury duty
nubbins`: workload would be the obvious one
nubbins`: but hey, USA has a thousand magistrate judges for a reason
nubbins`: say a judge has to take 30 cases a year or w/e for his 30btc
nubbins`: he knows the workload involved when he signs up. once all judges are booked up, you have a backlog.
joecool: i had a case some years back that was delayed nearly 2 years because the judge assigned was waiting for his retirement request to finalize
nubbins`: anyway, you're arguing that salary doesn't work because pay-by-the-hour makes it seem like less of a chore
mircea_popescu: and im merely arguing that since every top job out there pays a salary + bonuses, that model is unavoidable.
nubbins`: well, how were you planning to pay the 30btc?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 16802 @ 0.0009498 = 15.9585 BTC [+] {2}
nubbins`: unavoidable pff, bitcoin is here to replace &c &c.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3380 @ 0.00095028 = 3.2119 BTC [+]
nubbins`: anyway, unless that 30btc was supposed to come from the leftover 1btc of the losing party's money (30 cases per judge per year!), i can only imagine that you were privately funding the judges' salaries
mircea_popescu: i was privately underwriting the risk that judges may not get 30 cases/year
mircea_popescu: that fat tail ended up costing a pretty penny, but hey.
nubbins`: so the plaintiff's 10btc fee is refundable to 9btc if he wins.
nubbins`: all the more reason to avoid frivolous claims, no?
nubbins`: if you buy a can of coke here, you pay eight cents recycling deposit. you bring the empty can back, you get five cents.
nubbins`: i can almost hear the gears turning from here... although it could just be the cat snoring ;(
mircea_popescu: nubbins` no dood. 2parties contribute 10 btc each. the winner gets his 10 btc back
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5737 @ 0.00094708 = 5.4334 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: sure. but the problem was hardly the incentive structure.
nubbins`: so you remove the defendant's fee, which solves the problem you identified where mpex gets bled dry, and you make 1btc of the plaintiff's fee non-refundable, which solves the payroll problem
mircea_popescu: plaintif wins. gets 10 btc back. who pays the judges ?
nubbins`: plaintiff wins, gets 9btc back.
nubbins`: you want the rota to solve your problems for you, it costs you 1btc.
mircea_popescu: do they make 3 btc if defendant wins, and 0 if plaintiff wins ?
nubbins`: they don't make shit until their contract is up
nubbins`: if defendant wins, he gets the 9btc.
nubbins`: the 1btc -- and nothing more -- always goes to the judge fund
MisterE: who picks judges and where they come from?
mircea_popescu: MisterE was a self-nomination thing, originally. see the article
MisterE: sorry I came in late in the chat
nubbins`: if some asshole sends 100btc to mpex for no reason and wants to rota it, he pays 10btc, you pay 0btc.
nubbins`: 1btc immediately goes to judges fund
nubbins`: asshole wins: he gets 9btc refund. you win: you get 9btc payout.
nubbins`: now tell me if people would be bringing frivolous claims to a court set up like that.
nubbins`: tell me if people wouldn't be encouraged to solve their own problems rather than whining to btc dad
mircea_popescu: i think perhaps you may be optimising for a differen tproblem.
nubbins`: solving all of them at once, really
MisterE: bitcointalk is there the whiners are
nubbins`: i don't think there are any problems left ;D
nubbins`: rota was a fine idea but just incorrectly structured from the start. it'd probably still be going if it was set up the way i've outlined ;D
nubbins`: having the defendant pay 10btc creates a strong disincentive to participate
nubbins`: at least if there's no fee to register a defence, he's got nothing to lose by participating
MisterE: fees are always the plantiff's burden
MisterE: frivolous suits are weeded out that way

MisterE: users here are the top of the pyramid
the20year1: i'm sure the best answer is 'get both' , but i'm coming to realize that trust is good, it might save me some cash over the next 2 months
MisterE: trust can save you *a lot*
nubbins`: forum people don't give a fuck about otc ratings, and vice versa
MisterE: if you have to shoose get rated by people here
nubbins`: it depends on who you plan on doing business with
the20year1: Lucky for me, the bulk of my investors aren't on either, however it'd be good going forward to have good ratings on both
MisterE: can I borrow something so I can pay it back and get rated?
the20year1: Well, in my case i've been 'loaned' something like 800btc
kakobrekla: re borrowing, yeah bitcoinpete just did that a day or three ago iirc
the20year1: and out of that, among the 450ish users, some should be on irc & btct
nubbins`: i don't think borrowing and repaying is a particularly good way of building trust.
MisterE: I just want to get my rating off the ground
MisterE: kakobrekla: yea thats where I got the idea
nubbins`: so do something that'll make people trust you :P

bounce: you know, there's a long history of (non-bitcoin) courts and such, and also a long history of abuse in various forms. question then is why and when doesn't such a system get abused (or at least not too much, and then what is this not too much you speak of)?

antephialtic: interesting to see the neo&bee scam finally implode

ozbot: [IPVO] [Multiple Exchanges] Neo & Bee - LMB Holdings
antephialtic: I didn't invest, even if it wasn't a scam, it was a pretty bad business plan
antephialtic: since 99% of their accounts were denominated in euros, they were hugely exposed to the price of BTC
antephialtic: investing in neo was basically a highly leveraged bet on the price of BTC itself, with the risks completely outweighing any possible benefits - assuming the business was completely legitimate
kakobrekla: the brick and mortar trick is still something new in btcland
antephialtic: and bitcoin seems to attract people that are exceptionally stupid.

I haven’t moved from Cyprus or anything of the kind I am TEMPORARILY out of the country resolving some big issues that were made much worse by people stating incorrect facts in a public forum.”

joecool: that's basically groupon's business model
joecool: except they don't do anything but hold the money for awhile and gamble before paying the merchants
mircea_popescu: more complicated than that. the groupon business model was basically to try and create a scale advantage on both ends.
mircea_popescu: specifically : supermarkets exist to scam consumers, because the supermarket is large, so it can tell any small farmer to stfu and get lost
mircea_popescu: and it can similarly tell any town dweller to stfu and starve.
mircea_popescu: this allows them to buy everything very cheap and sell it as expensive as they want.

mircea_popescu: had it succeeded to make it so "all the buyers are on groupon", it's model of "give us everything for free" would have worked on the merchants.
joecool: it still works for some merchants that don't have access to their own in-house mailing list
joecool: to gain exposure, it's just not as big as hoped for
mircea_popescu: the20year2 moreover, that's phase 2 material. obviously the supermarket can train the clueless consumer in a number of ways to build a moat around itself.
mircea_popescu: but this recent "can't eat an apple with a spot" neurosis is not naturally occuring in human populations.

mircea_popescu: that the us army at no point past ww2 had a standing chance in europe.
the20year2: Very much correct, it was always assumed to go nuclear within 24hrs of the outbreak of conflict
mircea_popescu: anyway, just some retired something or the other harping about how expensive and hard it is.
the20year2: to secure europe from the evil russian bear?
benkay: blackwater will eventually own texas, much like the roman mercs ate the empire.
pLambert: "In 1974, one could easily find company-sized organizations in U.S. Army Europe" wth does the US have so many troops in Europe?
the20year2: To prevent steamrolling of western europe from Wpac
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller since the option thing is ended ima report it end of month line normal assets.
jurov: thestringpuller MPOE is suspended
benkay: no options, no statement, thestringpuller. who cares, anyways? it's a scam under investigation by the SEC. doomed, I tell you (to enjoy the new scion TC!)
pLambert: and a corrolary: why do we STILL have so many troops in Europe?
mircea_popescu: if some guy in my neighbourhood decided to go around telling everyone he's the bestest there is, i'd also expect him to send a nubile young woman around for purposes with some frequency.
Mats_cd03: funny enough, some countries wont admit to liking having american troops on their soil
Mats_cd03: but they like having american money flowing into local economies
the20year2: arms exports/imports is a nice money maker
benkay: the20year2: logs, man. gotta read 'em. sometimes just like 20 lines back.
pLambert: this guy bitching about "sequestration", has the US defense budget actually gone down at all? I thought we were still spending more every year?
mircea_popescu: pLambert nop but he has a point. it went down very little overall but it cut very badly.
the20year2: pLambert: yes, it's set to diminish by a decent amount due to iraq, afghanistan and drawdowns
benkay: in inflationary regime, static budgets are cuts, pLambert
the20year2: Granted, in my personal opinion (As controversial as it is), it's like every other government program, cutting things that are important, expanding things that buy votes
pLambert: And he thinks we should spend just as much, even though we are not actually fighting anybody?
the20year2: The budget is 600-650b, and they want to decrease it to around 500b
the20year2: By reducing manpower, officer corps, cutting basic programs, ect
mircea_popescu: pLambert his intuition is correct, in that the us has no economy, and no technical ability. cutting the army is like cutting its own throat.
benkay: mircea_popescu: naw man i like 'em effeminate and making dinner not deep in the server room.
the20year2: Which I have a problem with, when programs like LCS and the F35 are front and center taking up significant sums of money for low results

mircea_popescu: bounce take whores. if there's a whore on every corner and prices are low, is your pretty daughter more likely or less likely to start cutting class for to taking it up the tail ?
pLambert: is F35 the one which was designed to fight against russians and has never been used?
mircea_popescu: and by the latest reports couldn't fight against the russians even if it wanted to.
the20year2: The airplane that does nothing more than the plane we built in the early 90s for $200m/unit
bounce: dunno. "everyone's doing it, it's fun!" appears to be a powerful motivator.
mircea_popescu: but that's not the real edge. the guy selling it to her is more likely to not bother, is the real edge.

Mats_cd03: i rather appreciate whats being done with the f35 personally
mircea_popescu: benkay so maybe tell her about this marvelous wot thing we got ? liz i mean.

jurov: i heard funny hypothesis that f35 is chinese inside job to bleed usg dry
Mats_cd03: well no i think the project is cool and i dont have a lot of problems with pouring R&D money into potentially useful technology
the20year2: corrupt politicians vying for money to their districts makes alot more sense
bounce: likewise, getting robbed often enough is a strong incentive to no longer run a shop (or at least not here, or maybe not a jeweller but a gunsmith, who knows)
Mats_cd03: even if its basically a laundry list of cool shit we want our super plane to have
the20year2: I'm curious what signfiicant tech the f35 produces that the f22/f35 didn't have
mircea_popescu: bounce and wide availability and a commodified market reduces the pull.

Mats_cd03: e.g. one (two?) isnt a fighter jet
bounce: f35 is a brilliant scam, actually. getting permission to deliver production planes when the prototype hasn't had its maiden flight

ThickAsThieves: “The risk isn’t so much about the small investor,” Mr. Cuban said. “The risk is all these different high-frequency traders playing a game with their algorithms, trying to trick each other, to get in front of each other to make that trade.
ThickAsThieves: “And because we don’t know all the algorithms, because we don’t know the end factorial and all of the different ways they may interact, there are negative consequences that occur as a result. That introduces a market risk. That market risk has an unquantifiable cost. We saw it in one instance with the flash crash. We see it every day with little mini-flash crashes.”
Mats_cd03: jurov for some relative value of short, it doesnt go very far and i dont think you can carry much of a payload either
Mats_cd03: its certainly not as efficient as the chinook

mircea_popescu: bounce in the end this isn't such a very good argument.
kakobrekla: <ThickAsThieves> kako, it was me that suggested the wiki and categories, thx for making it < get to werk then!
mircea_popescu: Like the US garrison in West Berlin, aircraft carriers are relatively defenseless, but they have a separate function as a highly visible warning about US resolve. Today, a strategy of mobile “tripwires” is neither credible nor prudent, but it is worth studying because it may actually be implemented.
mircea_popescu: Specifically, our bargaining chip against Beijing is to make things uncomfortably apocalyptic. The point is less what the carrier can do and more what an attack on it promises—full retaliation, and a war that may quickly get out of hand. As ASPI analyst Harry White observed last month [11], “the idea is that anyone who attacks as valuable an asset as a US carrier should expect a significant response.” Internation
mircea_popescu: ally, a successful strike would deeply wound American prestige, especially if it went unanswered. Domestically, the deaths of six thousand crewmembers would generate almost unbearable political pressures for revenge. Our entries into WWII and the Global War on Terror were sparked by less.

mike_c: but they have now heard of bitcoin, and next time it will be the second time.
mircea_popescu: there's also many cultural factors at play. for instance, in a culture which is fundamentally defeatist and patently insane, like romania's,
mircea_popescu: having failed is actually much better than having succeeded.
mike_c: i am not defending his retarded veiwpoint though. "it's ok because neo&bee ran ads".
bounce: so, what're you doing, failing by succeeding?
mike_c: mircea_popescu: same as silicon valley :)
mircea_popescu: bounce i have no idea. the entire national pantheon is basically neobee like scammors. ie, various rebels promising independence from x or y or z
mircea_popescu: then failing miserably but having ballads made about how cool they were
mircea_popescu: it's really not at all different from forum mentality.
Mats_cd03: a surprising number of national origin stories are basically that
mircea_popescu: i mean... guys like iancu jianu. ex road robber, caught, tried, sentenced to hang, saved by ancient rule that noble virginz may save a convicted felon by marrying him
bounce: well I s'pose that gave you a bit of a headstart "researching" the bitcoin zoo
Jason: mircea_popescu: hey - get me in touch with someone @ square and we'd figure it out! :)
Mats_cd03: except the scrub that barely made it is in fact the hero of old
bounce: what, there's still a vaguely functioning feudal system going on?
Mats_cd03: i guess you could say afghanistan and somalia were vaguely functioning feudal systems in the last few decade
bounce: oh, that guy appears to've been dead for a good 150 years. oh well.
mircea_popescu: anyway. "cyprus central bankers" win this battle god help us.
