dignork: kryydf, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/IRC_channels , but most of them are kinda empty
dignork: wrong window :)
mod6: one thing that i seem to remember that I didn't like (many many moons ago) about xchat is that if you derp-paste a bunch of stuff into the wrong window, it doens't ask you if you're sure you'd like to do spammy paste.
mod6: irssi does ask, on the other hand.
mod6: CTRL+K to paste spam
dignork: mod6, weechat blocks it too
mod6: ahh coo
thestringpuller: oh look who finally decides to show up
thestringpuller looks at mod6
thestringpuller: lol
mod6: ahh looks reasonable, dignork
mod6: lol thestringpuller
mod6: got my teef drilled. ugh.
mod6: my entire face is numb.
mod6: they loaded me up.

jurov uses Konversation. tried irssi but it was a pain

mod6: ah
jurov: and i was also "lucky" to run into 6yr old bugs with otr
dignork: jurov, try weechat, no stick/unstick madness, and otr works too
pankkake: irssi otr known to be buggy
dignork: done shilling for today
jurov: i just funded development of spiffy znc-otr plugin
Duffer1: stick/unstick?
jurov: https://github.com/mmilata/znc-otr
dignork: Duffer1, irssi has a weird idea about split-window functionality
jurov: so i don't have to stick to one client
Duffer1: isee
mod6 has never used split
dignork has a hude monitor, one window is too depressing
dignork: *huge

TestingUnoDosTre: what are your thoughts on the price spike of btc so close to the block reward halving?
Mats_cd03: good news
TestingUnoDosTre: but were they entirely related?
benkay: when was the last halvening?
TestingUnoDosTre: November 28, 2013
TestingUnoDosTre: bitstamp high happened November 30, 2013
TestingUnoDosTre: Bueller?
mike_c: unrelated. plus, who cares. next one isn't for 2 years.
benkay: supply and demand curves always hold, mike_c
mike_c: yes.. but supply != block reward
TestingUnoDosTre: I cares
benkay: you're entirely wrong.
mike_c: oh yeah? well, YOU'RE entirely wrong.
benkay: supply is that which is constant!
TestingUnoDosTre: if you're talking about mined BTC, that supply definitely dropped
TestingUnoDosTre: say like, 50 percent
benkay: the only constant input in the system is the mining reward
benkay: sorry that was rude of me, mike_c
mike_c: (not butthurt). but the system being discussed is supply on the exchanges. which is not equal to freshly mined coins. many other factors.
benkay: input into system
TestingUnoDosTre: ooo I like that... like a thermodynamics equation
benkay: only valid frame of reference, TestingUnoDosTre
jborkl: Benkay is right supply is static, it is demand we don't know about
TestingUnoDosTre: how is supply static?
TestingUnoDosTre: *during a diff change
jborkl: We know how many btc there will be next year
TestingUnoDosTre: approximately
benkay: we know how many btc there will be per block
mike_c: it's not static. supply is not how many btc there are, it's how many are for sale.
jborkl: That is demand
mike_c: no, buyers are demand. sellers are supply
benkay: supply is input into the system
jborkl: ^
benkay: its the only way you can make the thing conserve
benkay: which is the whole damn point
mike_c: for instance, mp has a bunch of coins. they are not supply because they are not for sale.
jborkl: That is not more coons
jborkl: Coins
benkay: yeah
benkay: heh
jborkl: Heh badbtypo
benkay: a hoard is in no sense supply
TestingUnoDosTre: they will be if Bitcoin does worse than BRK-A this year
mike_c: right. and if miners are hoarding coins, block reward is not supply

TestingUnoDosTre: His example is slightly hogwash, as mtcox falsely increased the supply of bitcoins, and the price still increased.
jborkl: Bugpowder was a excellent trader
jborkl: That is to what he is referring
jborkl: Short term sentiment
thestringpuller: Bugpowder was a compulsive gambler too.
jborkl: And if mtgox inflated the supply of coins so the price should have been depressed
jborkl: I did not say he was a good gambler

fluffypony: what have the dividends been like over the period? I take it not enough to cover the original investment?
danielpbarron: I am the issuer of the #5 ranked asset in counterparty :D
fluffypony: wd danielpbarron
pLambert: They keep saying "we are investing in more hardware, so dividends are low this month", then for the buyback they ignore all the hardware they just bought
danielpbarron: ty, fluffypony; I've got the market cap up to a record breaking 0.52 XCP
pLambert: arij: want to comment on this?
danielpbarron: pLambert: is this a mining company?
pLambert: BitVPS is a hosting company
danielpbarron: oh
pankkake: danielpbarron: is it something real?
pLambert: imagine if Warren Buffet wanted to buy shares of his company back based onthe dividends: $0.00 to you, shareholders
danielpbarron: pankkake: sorta, I backed my asset with a currency from a video game
pankkake: bitvps was profit shares though
danielpbarron: I'm doing it just for fun; trying out the protocol
benkay: thestringpuller: ping
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 6 @ 0.054988 = 0.3299 BTC [-]
benkay: last bitvps statement was december?
danielpbarron: what's the most influential group of bitcoiners? the devs, the miners, or whatever you call the individuals who own a lot of BTC
benkay: some in this channel would hold it to be this channel
benkay: miners are influential in that txns that adhere to 0.6 rules will probably always get relayed
pankkake: define influential
benkay: devs, unles you're talking about conformal, don't really do much other than implement dirty code into bitcoin-qt
pankkake: transaction/network wise, both miners *and* public nodes. devs, nothing really, as it is with all open source software
danielpbarron: i've been tempted into thinking it was the devs and then the miners that had all the power
danielpbarron: but now I'm leaning to that other group, the group i'm not sure what to call
benkay: "powerful"'s a good start.
danielpbarron: "holders" ?
danielpbarron: venture capitalists? or just capitalists?
benkay: *shrug*
benkay: power comes in many forms.
benkay: sometimes it looks like btc, sometimes it looks like hashes...
danielpbarron: pankkake is right about devs, it's open source stuff
danielpbarron: so then why not the miners? and keep in mind I mean the pool operators, not the guy in his basement
pankkake: pool operators are highly dependent on their users, as it is very easy to migrate
danielpbarron: yep
benkay: everyone forced to more or less play the same way
pankkake: but, at least for now, miners don't really care about pool transaction policies
danielpbarron: they sorta do, or at least, they do when they are also a dev
danielpbarron: i can think of 1 example
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [CBTC] 7500 @ 0.00013209 = 0.9907 BTC [-] {14}
benkay: care to share, danielpbarron ?
danielpbarron: what? which dev is also a miner?
danielpbarron: is that not common knowledge?
benkay: oh, i thought you had an example of someone who cares about txn rules
benkay: and like maybe why and some other context
benkay: high hopes :(
danielpbarron: i do
danielpbarron: at the risk of starting the whole argument over again, the context is counterparty / mastercoin and the OP_RETURN controversy
benkay: oh sounds popcorny
danielpbarron: very
benkay: what is this controversy?
danielpbarron: counterparty stores its data in the Blockchain and the devs don't like this
danielpbarron: that's the tl;dr
benkay: what's the controversy over op_return?
pankkake: storage is a cost, and no one's rewarded for storing
danielpbarron: OP_RETURN is a place to store extra data in a transaction
pankkake: that's why transactions should be as small as possible
danielpbarron: ya, what pankkake said
pankkake: I wonder if I can easily make my public nodes stop relaying OP_RETURN :)
danielpbarron: full nodes should get most of the transaction fees, but they get nothing
danielpbarron: anyway my point is, there is controversy over transaction rules, so miners have so influence in that regard
benkay: whoa you can store data in the blockchain without paying?
danielpbarron: benkay: sorta
benkay: do elaborate i'd be much obliged
pankkake: miners get paid, not "storers"
danielpbarron: benkay: you pay, but the payment doesn't go to those actually doing the heavy lifting
benkay: oh
benkay: eh fuck 'em
benkay: blockchain's a nightmare anyways
benkay: miners get paid right?
benkay: that's all i care about.
pankkake: for me, bitcoin is terabytes of bandwith per month - I don't mind as it's almost free, but don't make the madness worse

ozbot: Morgentaler abortion clinic in Fredericton to close - New Brunswick - CBC News
danielpbarron: yeah but they don't need the payment; they don't mine for profit anyway
danielpbarron: hey some good news!
benkay: miners don't mine for profit?
benkay: news to me.
danielpbarron: i believe miners mine for network control
jurov: pankkake meant nonminer nodes
benkay: the state sponsored ones definitely
jurov: i don't mind a terabyte per month,too but 10TB or more... um
danielpbarron: some individuals profit i guess, if they get really cheap electricity and make their own boards
benkay: this is one of those things about bitcoin. staging on the blockchain is just going to get more and more painfully expensive.
benkay: staying*
pankkake: yeah I think I'm capped at 6TB
benkay: either you'll pay for the privilege or you won't.
benkay: end of story.
danielpbarron: benkay: what do you mean "staying on the blockchain?"
Apocalyptic: how so benkay ?
benkay: staying up to date
Apocalyptic: the maximum potential blockchain growth rate is well known
danielpbarron: storage space is trivial
Apocalyptic: thanks for the block size limit
danielpbarron: the issue isn't hard drive space
Apocalyptic: it's just some gigs/year
benkay: we're talking about the mem pool, though, right?
danielpbarron: hard drive space is only an issue to those trying to take a principled stand on not storing content to which they personally object
benkay: txns in flight is the topic, though, correct?
Apocalyptic: <benkay> we're talking about the mem pool, though, right? // you can choose not to query peers for tx data
Apocalyptic: and only get blocks I think
benkay: so do that
danielpbarron: benkay: because OP_RETURN is too small to store counterparty data, they use multi-sig addresses instead, and that uses up memory
benkay: memory where for whom in what part of the process
danielpbarron: full nodes
danielpbarron: full nodes have to keep those addresses in memory as outputs that might get spent in future transactions
benkay: when do they need that? when validating a new block?
danielpbarron: when validating transactions
danielpbarron: full nodes are not miners and miners are not full nodes
Apocalyptic: he knows that
danielpbarron: there might be some overlap
Apocalyptic: but full nodes don't need mempool data for validating blocks
benkay: so take a counterparty transaction
danielpbarron: i might be explaining some technical details incorrectly; i'm not a dev
benkay: has it been confirmed yet?
benkay: let's tell a little story and try to work through this
benkay: start with a counterparty txn. is this thing in flight or has it confirmed?
dexX7: 1. metacoins and the utxo set: http://i.imgur.com/c9mpd8h.png, 2. what is way more "avoidable" than multisigs is the creation of multiple unspent outputs "to have free outputs ready" (@ xcp) x_x
danielpbarron: i'm on the side of counterparty if I had to choose, i think the decentralized exchange is a great idea
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: oh boo another glbse investor
danielpbarron: i never used that site
benkay: he's underwriting, thestringpuller
thestringpuller: exchanges will always be centralized things, there can be multiple exchanges
benkay: thestringpuller: ping ping ping ping ping
danielpbarron: i think there is room for both centralized and decentralized
thestringpuller: but each excahnge is centralized as you will always trust the issuer
dexX7: benkay: think of "let's create new transaction types and coins, encode the transaction information and store it on the blockchain as pubkeys in multisig transaction outputs"
thestringpuller: you will always have to trust the issuer*
danielpbarron: i get that, thestringpuller
Apocalyptic: oh "decentralized exchange" idea again ?
Apocalyptic grabs some popcorn
danielpbarron: s/idea/reality/g
thestringpuller: i feel a decentralized exchange would be littered with scams
danielpbarron: so?
danielpbarron: just like everywhere else
thestringpuller: so you want an exchange for scams?
danielpbarron: you want to throw the baby out with the bathwater?
fluffypony: http://revicharger.com
benkay: hang on this topic is stupid and boring and you're all stupid and boring for engaging in it
fluffypony: that's actually quite clever
danielpbarron: Bitcoin has enabled scams, so what?
thestringpuller: s.dice was teh closest thing to a scam no mpex...
thestringpuller: every other play exchange has had multiple scams...
danielpbarron: s.dice was a scam?
benkay: i want to know more about these memory requirements imposed by mastercoin
thestringpuller: like the ratio of scam to actual businesses was too damn high
danielpbarron: from what I read, S.DICE was managed very well
danielpbarron: benkay: why mastercoin? counterparty is live and working
benkay: counterparty whatever pedant
benkay: i lose track of all the colored coin implementations
danielpbarron: well, I'm not 100% behind the DEX; I understand the arguments against it, and it's not the end of my world if the devs figure out a way to stop it
kanzure: to be even more pedantic, counterparty isn't a colored coin implementation
kanzure: (don't kill me)
benkay: so you can't possibly be telling me that a full node needs to hold the whole bc in memory to do its job
benkay: is that so?
benkay: <-- does not run nodes
dexX7: the complaint was the amount of unspent outputs/utxo bloat created by those transactions - the argument fails because those unspent outputs are actually spendable and spent frequently
kanzure: the counterparty reference implementation requires a full bitcoin node with -txindex enabled
kanzure: so often this means reindexing the blockchain for nodes that haven't been using -txindex
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11111 @ 0.00096168 = 10.6852 BTC [+]
kanzure: uh i wonder if -txindex is the right parameter. hrm. it's the one about indexing.
kanzure: anywho then the counterparty server sends getrawtransaction messages over rpc to the bitcoin node for every transaction since the burn period began
dexX7: you don't need to hold everything in memory, but there is a database with all unspent outputs. more outputs = delayed lookup
fluffypony: lol
fluffypony: my wife is talking about going to the US at some stage
fluffypony: "we must go to all 50 states. Except Alaska. Alaska isn't going to be nice."
danielpbarron: well i've seen plenty of individuals storing data in other ways, like using the last 4 or 5 decimal places of a balance to encode data
danielpbarron: the US kinda sucks; if you aren't here already, don't come
danielpbarron: not worth the risk of possibly not being allowed to leave

jurov: orly? mahogany smartphone box?
nubbins`: consider the statement suitably modified
keonne: still stands
truffles: 200 sounds so modest dam!
nubbins`: keonne: but was it subsidized?
keonne: nexus 5
keonne: no
nubbins` claps
keonne: unlocked off contract
keonne: no, subsidized phones are for poor people
keonne: and for people who will probably be perpetually poor

fluffypony: those are the cases we have
fluffypony: wood is pretty
nubbins`: it is indeed
keonne: thats nice fluffypony
nubbins`: engraving kinda ruins it
truffles: ppl actually back things up with scientific data itc? pfff
fluffypony: nubbins`: hush
fluffypony: :-P
nubbins`: might as well put a coca-cola logo on there
nubbins`: truffles: who said anything about scientific? napkin scribbles would do
truffles: might as well not
truffles: imo
nubbins`: suppose you save $500 by getting a subsidy. at the end of your two-year contract, you own your phone
truffles: that baseball case looks cute
keonne: well lets see, $500 phone you get for $250 because you sign a 2 year contract paying ~60-80 a month. 
nubbins`: or you spend the extra $500, and two years later, you own your phone
nubbins`: what's the difference?
keonne: the difference is poor people shouldnt eb buying 500 dollar phones
truffles: yep
nubbins`: well, that certainly answers a different question
nubbins`: how about the one i asked :D
truffles: im gonna aim for that 200 next phone!
keonne: sorry i keep going in and out of cell signal
nubbins`: shoulda bought an iphone i guess
keonne: or not be on a train going into tunnels
nubbins`: sure
nubbins`: either way.
nubbins`: explain to me how buying the phone outright is a better deal in the long run
keonne: depends on the price of the phone
nubbins`: let's say a new iphone
jurov: nubbins`: depends on if you're poor :DDDDD
nubbins`: $700 straight-up or $200 on a two-year contract
keonne: how much are those?
keonne: ah ok
keonne: thats insane..... first of all
daybyter: got my new smartphone today.
keonne: how much is the contract per month?
daybyter: pomp w88 Euro 105,- plus shipping.
TomServo: nubbins`: I think it depends on how much you value being able to switch carriers on a whim.
nubbins`: TomServo: $0
keonne: i mean i havent had a contract in 3 years
nubbins`: keonne: well, that depends heavily on how good you are at bargaining
keonne: and i have unlimited 4g data in both the US and Europe
TomServo: nubbins`: I'm just saying, that is what makes it a "better deal" to some people.
nubbins`: which (sorry to ruin the surprise) was the crux of my argument
keonne: for £15 pay as you go a month
nubbins`: canada is relatively expensive for cell service
nubbins`: i pay, i think, $50/mo
keonne: its all highly situational
nubbins`: yep
keonne: i remmeber not even being able to get a sim card in canada
keonne: without a canadian ID
nubbins`: all different now, LTE nationwide
nubbins`: ah, without an id
nubbins`: not sure about that
keonne: in UK i go to the corner shop
keonne: and i can buyt as many sim cards as I want for£1 each
nubbins`: neat
nubbins`: TomServo: fair enough, but worth an extra $500?
daybyter: any android coders here, who also do java?
nubbins`: ostensibly you're changing providers to get a better rate
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [7C] 20 @ 0.007696 = 0.1539 BTC [+] {2}
nubbins`: to make it worth $500, you'd need to save ~$21/mo by switching providers
nubbins`: it could be argued that you just picked the wrong provider to start with
keonne: daybyter: not being snarky but dont all android devs have to know java? i thought that was part of the deal.
fluffypony: keonne: I was about to say the same thing
daybyter: I mean android and desktop-java.
fluffypony: say/ask
fluffypony: ah ok
daybyter: I have a lib that should run on desktop and android.
daybyter: no I wonder how to compile it best.
daybyter: add android.jar to the required libs?
daybyter: use conditional compiling?

daybyter: I used antenna back in the days of j2me projects.

mircea_popescu: this is nothing less than the point of existence : for you to drive lesser versions out of existence, or for them to drive oyu.
goonsamchi: lol. my not eating would not affect the people in africa
mircea_popescu: how convenient #2.
benkay: mircea_popescu: the teachers'd need to be worth attending to.
mircea_popescu: benkay sure.
mircea_popescu: benkay im sure all of goethe's teachers were all supercool and worthy dudes.
mircea_popescu: not according to him, but what the fuck does he know.
chetty: you would listen to a 'teacher' that wasn't worth it?
mircea_popescu: problem is how the fuck would you distinguish.
mircea_popescu: idiots on the forum also think they know better. the reason they think so is because they don't know what they don't know
mircea_popescu: and on the basis of what they know, aka 0, they're right.
chetty: the best ones are the scariest!
fluffypony: but you can't even quantify "stuff you don't know"
truff1es: goonsamchi u make good points, id like to read more ur views on this
mircea_popescu: exactly.
chetty: if it hurts, you are learning something
truff1es: just wait til the sillyness washes away
thestringpuller: chetty if you start doing things right and realize you were once wrong you are also learning things :)
chetty: thestringpuller, and that hurts too
thestringpuller: most people seem to do things wrong, get told so, ignor as MP points out, then they run head first into concrete and complain about how they have brain damage
truff1es: told by whom?
fluffypony: although making mistakes *and learning from them* should be encouraged, no?
thestringpuller: you shouldn't make mistakes with other peoples money
thestringpuller: fucking use testnet
fluffypony: oh I agree with that
fluffypony: I was talking in generalisations
thestringpuller: no experimenting wiht production services, fucking get managers and shit. perhaps it's about time for another tally of the BTC losses due to scams and icompetence
chetty: fluffypony, that is I think, the definition of learning
mircea_popescu: fluffypony making mistakes should be encouraged in a narrow field : that where we don't know what the mistakes are. in the fields where we already know, they should not be.
chetty: bitcoins don't get lost (mostly) just transfered
mircea_popescu: such as, putting your hand in the flame may in principle do all sorts of cool things, like charge your phone battery
fluffypony: lol
mircea_popescu: but it won't. so don't learn from fucking experience.
fluffypony: yeah I use the "stove is hot" analogy often
fluffypony: but you end up with a burnt hand afterwards
truff1es: if u were tough enough it wouldnt matter!
mircea_popescu: <truff1es> just wait til the sillyness washes away << funny how on the spot this guy is. since forever the strategy of the mentally defective has been, just wait until the cool people get exhausted, and try to rebuild socialism then!
truff1es: says the person who wants to beat people to submission
mircea_popescu: the epic resilience of stupidity.

asciilifeform: read 'savage brute'
mircea_popescu: fluffypony is that raw total or per capita ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: looks like it's per capita
fluffypony: they do it on a "murders per 100k people" basis

mircea_popescu: fluffypony but wait, you meant all of africa vs north, south and central america ?
bounce: compared to the conspiring, deceit, backstabbing, betrayal, "white" lieing, bald faced lieing, and all that, happening among the most cultured of any population, traditionally the aristocrats and like court dwellers, that's outright friendly and truthful.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I'm talking specifically about South Africa - our murder rate is mentioned in the article, ~30 per 100k vs Honduras at ~90 per 100k
mircea_popescu: bounce aristocrats and courtiers don't map.
fluffypony: s/30/31
mircea_popescu: it's like saying smart people and web developers.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony what if you only count white people ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: significantly lower
mircea_popescu: well then okay.
twizt: lol
mircea_popescu: i had bought the same arguments, omg sa is terrible.
fluffypony: we're a small part of the population (relatively), and a lot of the murders are gang related
fluffypony: for eg. Cape Town now has a higher murder rate than Johannesburg
fluffypony: but something ridiculous like 80% of the murders occur in Lavender Hill
fluffypony: which is gang warfare territory in the Cape Flats
fluffypony: that even policeman don't go into
fluffypony: much less white people
mircea_popescu: aha
bounce: not true. any high concentration of power without proper management tends to bring lots of little kingdoms, warring each other. I'm told the pettiest squabbles can be found in academia.
mircea_popescu: bounce wait, what specifically isn't true ?
fluffypony: bounce: are we still talking about murder rates?
bounce: well, what did you mean with "don't map"?
mircea_popescu: lots of little kingdoms don't necessarily war each other, and moreover the wars of little kingdoms are not at all like the wars of national-socialist statal machines,
mircea_popescu: the sort that opposed the french and the germans, or the germans and the russians, or the french and the russians
mircea_popescu: bounce i meant aristocrats and courtiers are two mostly distinct things.
mircea_popescu: in general one can't be both. whenever aristocrats were forced to be courtiers historically, they lost their aristocracy, and the state collapsed
mircea_popescu: (seen both in china and in france, quite identical)
bounce: both are at the top of the societal pile, if in slightly different senses.
mircea_popescu: this does not make much of a similarity.
mircea_popescu: the top of a cake and the top of an oil tank aren't similar on grounds of topness.
bounce: but the cake is a lie.
bounce: anyhow, I'll gladly concede this since my interest is in a different point.

asciilifeform: 'The "Elusive Joe" (Russian: Неуловимый Джо) has become an ironic nickname in Russia for various difficult-to-find persons (not necessarily unimportant ones).

fluffypony http://kd5col.info/swag/SORTING/0043.PAS.html
bounce: and can relatively simply be put on a 360k floppy; just drop the bgi stuff from the std lib collection. compiler, stdlib, 3rd party editor. off you go. that just doesn't work so well with C.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you want the compiler to asm for you, vs. having to drop in a hex string and function ptr to it, compiler has to understand inline asm.
dignork: bounce, there was a debug.exe just to write .COM, i think it was still supplied in winXP
mircea_popescu: but the difference is purely acaemic.

fluffypony: asciilifeform: on embedded devices or generally?
bounce: borland turbo C also had a similar "basm" thingy, so no need to fsck around with hexstrings. tp was just the thing we used because it was easy to use. indeed, easier than tc.
asciilifeform: fluffypony: generally. reading, rather than writing.

mircea_popescu: pretty much
mircea_popescu: it's anonimized to some degree, mostly by replacing keys, but that shouldn't be relied on.

los_pantalones: so, no theories on px move in here ?

fluffypony: what boggles my mind is that they (mtgox) were liquid enough to pay someone to rewrite everything in a less-crap way, and to permanently employ a bunch of CISSPs (at the very least)

mircea_popescu: 1. it was created by jeb mccaleb, the douche that recently fucked up kraken, and some other derps, on a shoestring.
dignork: mircea_popescu, but nobody knows really, have they ever published any reports?
mircea_popescu: it went nowhere so 2. karpeles took it over, with aid from some angel investors.
akstunt600: what did you expect they were a magic the gathering trading site
mircea_popescu: he proceeded to buy some failed polish exchange, which was over its history a loss,
akstunt600: well not officialy but i dont believeit
mircea_popescu: and then 3. got raped by jeb mccaleb (the "auditor") taking btc to 1 cent.
mircea_popescu: then they ran at a loss for all of 2012, piling more and more angel round money into a hole.
fluffypony: eish
akstunt600: yeah such sad shit
mircea_popescu: then just as 2013 brought increased prices and revenues, they lost 5mn dollars to the us fed, because karpeles is retarded and doesn't understand when to say no.
akstunt600: at least they didnt try to sell goxshares
fluffypony: hah
akstunt600: like cryptorush fiasco
mircea_popescu: all through this they were trying to daytrade, and doing it as well as bitcoinica
fluffypony: or IPO it
mircea_popescu: (horribly badly)
akstunt600: but thats small potatoes
akstunt600: omg IPO would have been epic
fluffypony: akstunt600: I know
fluffypony: in fact
mircea_popescu: this is something you can maybe carry on for a while, but if you're trying to it's a damned good idea not to annoy me as a side dish.
fluffypony: they should have done it as a coin
jurov: akstunt600: they will inevitably try it as "Gox"
fluffypony: GoxCoin IPO
akstunt600: Oh yeah that
mircea_popescu: and so this brings us to the spring of 2013, ever increasing pressures and eventually their collapse.
akstunt600: gox builder
akstunt600: lol
mircea_popescu: they never actually had a lump of money they didn't owe someone.
jurov: i want to see a bank that'll dare to manage New Gox's acct
akstunt600: hahahha i dont even want to see that attempted
mircea_popescu: dignork yes.

akstunt600: mircea_popescu, that makes perfect sense to me
akstunt600: I never touched them
dignork: mircea_popescu if i read the history correctly, their report was published once, and long time ago

mircea_popescu: dignork you familiar with court supervised acquisitions ?

dignork: mircea_popescu, yes, not too deeply though. But I'd buy it only as "dignork", pgp key 8334BB7B5BDFA126
samson_: I can't get over the fact that 'Chicago-based SilkRoad Equity' are involved in this...
mircea_popescu: bounce you need to either pay upfront more than the judge evaluates the assets could conceivably fetch, or else execute a credible plan to deliver. and since this is examined by jurists rather than business people (and let alone forum fucktards) the estimates tend to be quite conservative.
akstunt600: samson_, I know right
fluffypony: samson_: I thought you were joking
samson_: no joke

mircea_popescu: no, conservative as in "where did you go to school ?" and other anathema mp-esque questions the child actors of this world abhor.
dignork: bounce, not for the buyer
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: do they use a jury for financial stuff as well??? geeze...:/
