diana_coman

lolz, no, mp made it up.

15:26

re BingoBoingo not giving damn re preserving orig qntra, that is.

15:28

asciilifeform: It's in the comments to the closure article. I was going to try defending the Qntra line, but doing Bitcoin news without the Republic.. not very defensible. The domain's registered for quite a while. I'll keep Qntra online, and if he pushes the domain in the next few years, Qntra will still be online

15:29

BingoBoingo: if you want it (or for that matter ability to change hosts while keeping heathen links alive) i rec to buy it back nao, before fella flies off to mars, 'loses' pw, etc

15:32

iirc he bought 'btcbase' also, set to expir at approx same time as qntra

15:33

asciilifeform: I already have the DNS servers. He just has the registration which runs through October 2025

15:33

BingoBoingo: dns servers yea, but suppose you end up wanting to move one.

15:34

asciilifeform: As long as the others are up, the changes keep.

15:35

BingoBoingo: aite, it's your qntra, arguably none of my biz

15:36

shinohai

*sigh* "MPEX shares expire worthless" ... I iz shocked.

15:36

asciilifeform linked to qntra in various places on own www, not too happy to end in the position of having to sed said linx to a static snapshot, but will if comes to it

15:39

BingoBoingo: evidently that buy order for q shares you mentioned (can't seem to find where... but iirc?) zapped by royal decree nao

15:40

Still visible here http://mpex.biz/?mpsic=S.QNTR

15:42

was here apparently

15:44

BingoBoingo: what does it matter what he lists on his www, if by wave of magic scepter can proclaim shares having outstanding buy order 'worthless' etc

15:44

Unless you're looking at a differend MPEx I still see the buy order for 500,000 at 0.00001500

15:44

asciilifeform: Well, he's warned people for when he discards the listing.

15:45

at any rate unless i misunderstand, BingoBoingo wins from the cancellation (i.e. if mp were playing by stated rules, BingoBoingo would be outta 7 1/2 coinz.. )

15:46

and shareholders are outta of some smallchange

asciilifeform was theoretically 'shareholder' by orig scheme but the amt he ever had, based on word contrib, is quite certainly subatomic

15:48

incidentally has asciilifeform ever redeemed any shares of any business for any currency? My own success there has been very limited.

15:48

thimbronion: saecular stocks ? certainly

15:49

asciilifeform: startup shares?

15:49

mp's? believe or not, also one time did

15:50

thimbronion: i've not ever held shares of fartup that didn't burn down, so can't brag that 'redeemed shares'

15:51

asciilifeform: lol fartup. yeah I managed to profit off mpex somehow, plus one startup sold as acquihuire.

~ 40 minutes ~

16:32

thimbronion: it so happens that, living in the time/place he does, asciilifeform associates very word 'startup' with scams. but also must admit that there cannot be such a thing as a casino where no one wins.

16:34

~someone~ must win (or at very least, made to think that he won, so as he'll do a public happy dance) or no one would play.

16:37

'acquihire' afaik is always a scam (think, if purchaser paid enuff to the employees, they'd move to costa rica and no moar employees)

16:41

ftr earlier link dun load ( possibly requires a hardcoded dns that i dun have... ) fwiw

BingoBoingo: i guess he banned my ip block or somesuch

16:59

No idea

17:08

asciilifeform: yes in my case brought income for time worked at startup from below slave wages to par slave wages in total.
