00:00 mircea_popescu there's no good solutions to thisproblem.
00:00 Apocalyptic ^
00:01 decimation https://www.grc.com/sn/sn-439.txt
00:01 decimation Ziff-Davis did some research using some of the bitcoin chain tracking software, tracing four addresses which were used and were determined from multiple CryptoLocker victims who, after paying their money, made public the address that they had sent payment to. The CryptoLocker extortionware acquired a total of 41, just shy of 42,000 bitcoins, 41,928 bitcoins.
00:03 mircea_popescu lol is this the nut with the "fix your harddrive spin" nonsense /
00:03 decimation heh yeah. sorry I couldn't find a better reference.
00:03 decimation he has a mildly informative podcast which occasionally has interesting tidbits
00:03 mircea_popescu anyway, this seems dubious on the face.
00:04 mircea_popescu dudes had to pay what, 2btc each ?
00:04 herbijudlestoids yea 2 for the first version and then less for v2
00:04 mircea_popescu if they get the 42k value by looking at which addresses those 2 btc were spent
00:04 decimation They dropped it to 0.3 btc
00:04 mircea_popescu they're 99% certain looking at some exchange hotwallet.
00:04 herbijudlestoids steve gibson lol
00:05 herbijudlestoids didnt cryptome shit all over him years ago?
00:05 decimation Certainly whoever wrote that virus wouldn't be dumb enough to use unique addresses?
00:05 mircea_popescu who didint ? lol
00:05 mircea_popescu decimation i never read it, dunno.
00:05 mircea_popescu anyay, this has been enough excitement for one day. take care all!
00:06 herbijudlestoids byes
00:07 herbijudlestoids Apocalyptic: do you run the namecoin software?
00:07 decimation herbijudlestoids did you read the moldbug essay to which your FOFOA link points?

00:08 bloctoc sorry about that
00:08 herbijudlestoids decimation: i did not admittedly.
00:08 herbijudlestoids is it worthwhile, or poor?
00:08 decimation Perhaps I am deluded, but I thought it clarifed matters w.r.t. currency adoption
00:10 decimation The "Ben Graham" analysis of bitcoin yeilds nonsense
00:10 decimation but the same is true of gold
00:12 herbijudlestoids yes, thats why i brought up FOFOA, because a few of the things mircea mentioned were very similar to things FOFOA has said about the concept of freegold
00:12 herbijudlestoids i do not compare gold (or btc) to stocks when evaluating its job as a store of value
00:13 assbot [HAVELOCK] [DEALCO] 88 @ 0.00428976 = 0.3775 BTC [+] {2}
00:13 decimation do you have a reference on your freegold idea?
00:13 herbijudlestoids FOFOA is the reference
00:14 herbijudlestoids would you like some links? easiest to google fofoa freegold and in the sitemap on google are a bunch specifically on the topic
00:15 herbijudlestoids http://fofoa.blogspot.com.au/2011/01/freegold-foundations.html is a good place to start

00:15 decimation thanks
00:16 herbijudlestoids full disclosure i converse with FOFOA occassionally and some market info and thoughts i have passed onto him have been included in some of his work. i claim no particular insight just provided otherwise proprietary market information
00:20 decimation Moldbug would seem to argue that Bitcoin is harder than gold, by virtue of its finite supply
00:20 herbijudlestoids yes, FOFOA also
00:20 decimation but FOFOA seems to argue that gold is held in stronger hands
00:20 herbijudlestoids the argument is much more nuanced than that
00:21 herbijudlestoids its about roles, what asset plays what role to the aggregate world aka "superorganism"
00:21 herbijudlestoids right now, USD plays the role of reserve asset (i.e. store of value), medium of exchange and unit of account globally and especially in the case of marginal producers
00:22 herbijudlestoids EUR was by design (4 decades in the making) to take the role of USD on its eventual failure in those roles, but only in the roles of medium of exchange and unit of account
00:23 herbijudlestoids store of value for marginal producers/savers to be carried out in gold (see ECB balance sheet)
00:23 herbijudlestoids FOFOA argument is that bitcoin versus USD is a non competition, real competition is BTC versus "what comes next" i.e. EUR+Gold
00:24 herbijudlestoids and while BTC might make an elegant medium of exchange it wont be adopted as a reference point like EUR since its hard
00:25 herbijudlestoids the implicit assumption is that the MoE should be soft, grow/contract along with the economy
00:25 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 16100 @ 0.00089625 = 14.4296 BTC [-] {2}
00:28 herbijudlestoids this all goes back to mises regression theory, that money is whatever people (especially the marginal producer/consumer aka saver/borrower) use for money. ECB, peoples bank of china, oil surplus like Saudis all understand gold in the role of store of value, therefore gold is the store of value
00:28 herbijudlestoids demand gives the value, so unless ECB and saudis start demanding to save in BTC it will never be store of value
00:28 herbijudlestoids im not giving my opinion here, just trying to decode the msg
00:29 decimation Okay, but the question is: what will the saudis demand in the future?
00:29 herbijudlestoids yesterday today and in the future the saudis have always demanded gold
00:29 herbijudlestoids even in the advent of the petrodollar, under the assumption the dollars could be redeemed on the spot market for physical gold

00:46 herbijudlestoids hullo BingoBoingo :)
00:52 BingoBoingo Hello herbijudlestoids
00:52 KRS1 Why, hello here.
00:53 BingoBoingo herbijudlestoids: I am trying to get some play sports book to let a freiend who hasn't cared for long enough's funds
00:55 BingoBoingo It seems like a rather futile enterprise to try, but if the Doge'ers are as brazen as they seem to be now.
01:00 BingoBoingo herbijudlestoids: Have you ever given thought to the possibility the universe just might hate R and want to make a mockery of it.
01:01 same way tor did
01:01 non existant problem, basically
01:04 herbijudlestoids BingoBoingo: nope :)
01:04 BingoBoingo Before the end of February I imagine my site is going to requite a niggers.txt file
01:04 herbijudlestoids i luv teh R, whats your beef?
01:04 herbijudlestoids do you wanna see my new tick distribution from the last 48h? this is per 10 tick returns
01:04 BingoBoingo herbijudlestoids: That common LISP or PYthon could be less verbose.
01:05 BingoBoingo herbijudlestoids: How do yoy know I don't have better deets
01:05 herbijudlestoids i can do in R in about 5 lines what takes ~100 lines in python
01:05 BingoBoingo or care about moves measured in minutes or days.
01:05 herbijudlestoids BingoBoingo: you might, i dunno, i just thought you migh tlike to see it, i pulled the data from #bitcoin-assets-trades and processed in R :)
01:06 herbijudlestoids when i get more data i will do some lower resolution graphs
01:06 herbijudlestoids not much point doing a daily returns distribution when youv only got 2 days
01:06 BingoBoingo herbijudlestoids: I don't speak R to the computer for the same reason I don't speak Attic Greek in conversation
01:07 herbijudlestoids and? whats the reason? lol
01:07 BingoBoingo Ancient lights is the reason
01:09 BingoBoingo Attic Greek is old enough skipping to Sabine taming Latin is reasonable. R is old enough skipping to Python is reasonable (though Ruby is never reasonable).
01:10 herbijudlestoids python cannot do what i can do in R in so few lines.

01:15 herbijudlestoids thats a simple example BingoBoingo, how do i do line #10 in python like i do it in R?
01:15 herbijudlestoids (in one line, like that)

01:18 herbijudlestoids the gist i just pasted?
01:19 BingoBoingo herbijudlestoids: I mean if you want letter perfect code Common LISP is the language, but in the garbage you pasted I can't say if you are protecting from garbage overloads or some shit.
01:20 herbijudlestoids the thing is i know, because i used to do all my analysis in python and found R to be much quicker
01:20 herbijudlestoids still code most everything else in python
01:21 herbijudlestoids and my day to day job is openstack, all python

08:22 mircea_popescu truffles whatcha lolling at ? here's a fun fact : Slovakia : 18,933 sq miles (49,036 km²) ; LA : 33,954 sq mi (87,490 km2)
08:22 mircea_popescu just because most of their city is undeveloped doesn't mean it's not a city now :D
08:22 jurov ah yes. we have a joke about this
08:23 jurov fico comes to china (he likes to go there) and they ask him: how many slovaks there are?
08:23 jurov "5 million"
08:23 mircea_popescu wow omfg this is a romanian joke!
08:23 jurov "And in which hotel do you stay?"
08:23 mircea_popescu hahaah
08:23 truffles i laugh with u mp
08:23 mircea_popescu ok, check out the romanian variant :
08:24 mircea_popescu there's this ethnic group in romania, living in Oltenia (the south west), called olteni. they have a reputation of being sorta hillbilly-ish.
08:24 mircea_popescu so, one day these guys (about 2mn total) declare war to china.
08:25 mircea_popescu the chinese are kind-of shocked, spend about a week trying to find large enouygh maps so this Oltenia is shiwn on them
08:25 mircea_popescu eventualy they discover it's a province of Romania and not even autonomous, so they tell their ambassador at Bucharest to go on a trip to Caracal and see what in the fuck.
08:25 mircea_popescu "Hello nice people. Did you send us a declaration of war ?!"
08:25 mircea_popescu "Yes we did."
08:25 mircea_popescu "But why ?!"
08:25 mircea_popescu "None of your business"
08:26 mircea_popescu "But do you realise the great nation of Han is over a billion strong ? That the US falls over itself to do whatever we tell them to ? That we can call under arms about a quarter billion people within two weeks ?"
08:26 mircea_popescu at which point the local troop is taken aback and they turn around to speak among themselves
08:27 mircea_popescu "Hmm... so many chinese... where the fuck do we burry them all ?!"
08:27 truffles so interesting
08:27 jurov heh
08:27 mircea_popescu happens to be one of my favourite jokes :D
08:27 mircea_popescu tho i guess it's an aquired taste.
08:28 mircea_popescu but don't worry, i'll tell it again so it becomes funny.
08:28 mircea_popescu here goes :
08:28 wao-ender :D
08:28 truffles look at u acknowledging differences
08:29 truffles next ull be understanding what sarcasm is hmmm
08:29 chetty http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-30/visa-s-scharf-says-traditional-payment-networks-trump-bitcoin.html?cmpid=yhoo
08:29 KRS1 Once the 3 quarter billion chinese are armed they should take out their communist government for a shot at some freedom.
08:30 mircea_popescu http://www.myfoxny.com/story/24588158/argentines-jockey-to-cope-with-economic-turmoil
08:30 mircea_popescu "We don't trust anything anymore. Not even the banking institutions," Partcha said. "I had saved in dollars, and when the banks froze deposits in 2001, I got pesos back and lost my money."
08:30 mircea_popescu KRS1 they really don't seem to want to.
08:30 mircea_popescu they seem more inclined to take out the us socialist government.
08:30 mircea_popescu chetty yeah we lolled all about it yest.
08:33 jurov well, slovak (and i think other) policemen have similar problem, too
08:34 jurov one comes home and wife tells him
08:34 jurov honey, i have a good message
08:34 jurov i'm pregnant, we'll have 5th child
08:34 jurov he replies: nooooooooooooo
08:35 jurov every 4th child is chinese!
08:35 jurov *5th
08:35 mircea_popescu ahaha
08:35 mircea_popescu so i take it slovak policemen go around in pairs because one can read, one can write, too, right ?
08:35 jurov yes
08:36 mircea_popescu turns out the slovaks invented all teh romanian jokes :D
08:36 wao-ender :D
08:36 wao-ender oh, that one is fav
08:37 jurov it has alternate point
08:37 jurov "Because one never knows."
08:37 mircea_popescu lol
08:37 mircea_popescu that one doesn't gramatically work in romanian.
08:37 mircea_popescu how do you say it in slovak ?
08:37 jurov Jeden nikdy nevie.
08:38 mircea_popescu jeden being one ?
08:38 jurov yes
08:38 mircea_popescu what's den ?
08:38 jurov den is day but that's unrelated
08:38 mircea_popescu how do you say "i drink" ?
08:38 jurov ja pijem
08:38 mircea_popescu how do you say "she drinks me" ?
08:39 truffles 0.0
08:39 mircea_popescu what, it's a transitive verb.
08:39 jurov depends
08:39 jurov ona ma pije
08:39 mircea_popescu haha. depends. ok, how do you say "she drinks my drink" ?
08:39 jurov but if you were to say she goes on my nerves, then
08:39 jurov ona mi pije krv
08:40 jurov she is drinking my blood
08:40 mircea_popescu ja ma mi, so jenen is in fact "one". romanian doesn't have it. there's cineva = somebody, but there's no "one" as an impersonal Is person.
08:41 jurov it's any impersonal person, not just 1st
08:41 mircea_popescu myeah.
08:42 mircea_popescu jeden nikdy nevie = nu se stie niciodata. a sti, to know, se stie is roughly the subjonctive. so the function is done by the verb rather than by a pronoun.
08:43 Neil subjonctive: Is that franglais or sthg?
08:43 mircea_popescu it's a mood, comes from latin
08:43 Neil Cross between subjonctif and subjunctive. :)
08:43 mircea_popescu english has it, very a ok, subjunctive then.
08:43 Neil If I were you etc. not if I was you
08:44 truffles if i was yous
08:44 Neil Much more prevalent in French than English
08:44 mircea_popescu yeah. english has it but it's mostly... unknown so to speak.
08:44 KRS1 instead of learning slovakian, might want to start learning chinese
08:44 truffles or english :D
08:44 mircea_popescu i've yet to meet a sexy chinese woman.
08:44 KRS1 wut
08:45 mircea_popescu srs.
08:45 KRS1 I have one for you, then tell me.
08:45 Neil mircea_popescu: Dude.

08:45 truffles millions of chinese, not one hot hmm
08:45 KRS1 Mayne she's not 100% chinese, I shall summon her.
08:45 mircea_popescu i don't go for the entire "hello my face is a pancake" thing
08:45 KRS1 HAHA
08:45 jurov KRS1: i agree, though, you can talk russian at suprising number of places
08:45 Neil pancake? I think you have the wrong nationality
08:46 mircea_popescu jurov the structure seems pretty russian really.

08:47 truffles lol
08:47 truffles sweet life
08:48 mircea_popescu i think entire retirements will consist of strictly cataloguing the insanity that went on back in this day.
08:48 Neil Koreans have noticeably "flat" faces but not Chinese. I've met plenty hot Chinese women and I live in Japan. Maybe you should move to Asia :)

08:51 KRS1 ThickAsThieves, I was wondering..maybe she's a jap. I can never tell the difference with those people.
08:52 pankkake well, there's a difference. chinese=ugly, japanese=beautiful
08:52 Neil 80% of time Japanese / Chinese difference is clear. The 20% is a bitch.
08:52 pankkake koreans in between
08:52 truffles 0,0
08:52 KRS1 pankkake: hmm..interesting. I need to look into this.
08:53 pankkake of course I'm trolly with the ugly/beautiful, but there is a certain truth to it :)

08:53 truffles which one is plastic surgery central

10:15 mircea_popescu that thing would so rock in the us...
10:15 mircea_popescu everyone's an ordinary peopl and independent personality there.
10:16 jurov oh, in every elections there's such crazy party
10:16 jurov we had "Alliance of New Citizen"
10:17 jurov "Party of Citizens' mutual understanding"
10:17 jurov Freedom and Solidarity"
10:17 jurov each of these actually got few MPs
10:18 mircea_popescu what does it take for a mp seat, like 50k votes ?
10:18 jurov yes, 5% of whatever many people come to vote
10:18 mircea_popescu whoa
10:18 mircea_popescu so like 12k ?
10:19 jurov maybe
10:19 mircea_popescu so start a faucet, become an mp.
10:19 jurov even Fico's party is called "Direction - Social Democracy"
10:19 Azelphur hahaha mp on bitcoin foundation
10:19 Azelphur I'd vote for that
10:19 mircea_popescu im not even kidding jurov. you absolutely should think seriously about it.
10:20 mircea_popescu Slovak Bitcoin Party.
10:20 jurov yes, i did think, easy way to get immunity from law
10:20 mircea_popescu that's not even it.

10:20 mircea_popescu easy way to be fucking sensible, to counterbalance all the idiots speaking for bitcoin as if they had a clue
10:20 mircea_popescu don't wait for "the time to come".
10:20 mircea_popescu you got four years till the next elections and more dough than any other candidate.
10:20 jurov wao-ender: ^^ do you read this?
10:21 mircea_popescu you're ideally placed, make your move.
10:21 wao-ender vot
10:21 jurov the problem is, it's very hard to get activists with half a brain here
10:21 mircea_popescu so get activists with a full brain.
10:21 wao-ender hmm
10:21 mircea_popescu what do you do this summer ?
10:21 mircea_popescu tour the fucking city, talk to everyone.
10:22 mircea_popescu you can bloody well walk all of slovenia in a summer.
10:22 jurov i was involved in support of disabled people .. never again
10:22 mircea_popescu forget "being involved". do. as in, for yourself, properly.
10:23 jurov that was for myself, too. the stupidity was the problem
10:23 wao-ender so, we are going setup party?
10:23 wao-ender 4 yo is plenty of time
10:23 mircea_popescu this is definitely the best opportunity for anything like that you'll have
10:23 mircea_popescu bitcoin appeals to intelligent, young, educated people.
10:23 wao-ender ^ ^ ^ yes.
10:23 jurov nah, they went out long ago
10:23 mircea_popescu hit it before some other fuckwit piggybacks on the name without any credential or a clue.
10:24 wao-ender but, our market is well timed for that, in Czech, there are people try be supportive for Pirate parties..
10:24 jurov everythin *will* end up on my back
10:24 wao-ender bitcoin party is just one step ahead
10:24 mircea_popescu because by 2018 it will be all "hello I'm Herp McDerp, I have 0.059876 btc in a webwallet, let me tell you all about Bitcoin"
10:24 wao-ender :D
10:24 jurov wao-ender: you know what crakpots attend progressbar
10:24 wao-ender jurov: right, we rejected them
10:24 jurov you'd have to deal with them
10:25 jurov even rejection is dealing
10:25 wao-ender they want used us in their politics program, like setup first PR at our space, tricksters.
10:26 mircea_popescu wao-ender just negotiate with people. "o, you want to use us ? fine, but you must be naked while doing it" "o, you don't want to do naked pr ? ok, what else can you offer"
10:26 mircea_popescu soon enough people come into line.
10:26 wao-ender :D
10:26 wao-ender yeah, that's how I selling bitcoins
10:26 mircea_popescu lol
10:26 wao-ender I just setup high price, when one is in the emergency, it will sell somehow..
10:27 jurov there the situation is clear
10:27 jurov but in politics, someone often comes to help
10:27 jurov and them messes everything beyond repair
10:27 wao-ender mircea_popescu: but, I will think about it, politics in our countyr will be open for new parties in year or next year after
10:27 mircea_popescu so don't give them access to anything that's more dangerous than they're trustworthy.
10:28 wao-ender mircea_popescu: because that Fico's party (SMER-SD) will loose it's managment when he moves to the president position afaik
10:28 mircea_popescu wao-ender nothing comes of those who think about things, in my experience.
10:28 jurov wao-ender: if you do know such trustworthy people, then i'll think about it
10:28 jurov because i don't except for you
10:28 wao-ender .. when I knew, he is second time premier, I knew best exit from politics is to be just two times president in a row.
10:29 mircea_popescu or more properly said : you gotta think from the perspective "i am doing this, let me think how" rather than from the perspective "let me think if i will do this"
10:29 mircea_popescu that latter approach never goes anywhere.
10:29 wao-ender jurov: when this aim will be announced, I think some new comers will reveal from other circles
10:30 jurov yes, that's what i'm talking about
10:30 jurov what do you do with them? you can't give them any responsibility
10:31 mircea_popescu you always can give someone responsibility. just tailor it.
10:31 wao-ender oh, you need treat them like they are special in some way, in positive sense
10:31 mircea_popescu make them copy down your party programme by hand for a week.
10:31 jurov fuck i could have been a star of hearing disability HGO, run for MP, etc. I really was in national TV 2 times.
10:31 mircea_popescu that's a responsibility.
10:31 jurov *NGO
10:31 wao-ender and not giving them full permissions, just little of them. They will just show you how they can manage responsibility with that little permissions
10:31 mircea_popescu ^
10:31 mircea_popescu exactly like computers work.
10:32 jurov then i found I dont; really have any support, just backstabbing
10:32 mircea_popescu you're too emotional.
10:32 jurov yes i know
10:32 mircea_popescu who cares about all teh goats in the world.
10:32 wao-ender and yes, you need to be cold, w/o any emotions at all.
10:33 jurov often i imagine myself in a public dispute
10:33 jurov only to realize i'd seriously offend most people involved
10:33 mircea_popescu so ?
10:34 jurov i like to speak too straight
10:34 wao-ender oh, diplomatic speech is just all about training and clever words
10:34 jurov *too emotional
10:34 mircea_popescu just as long as you have a point, offending idiots is actually a net positive for you.
10:34 mircea_popescu offend away.
10:35 wao-ender but well, I'm marked as master troll in my circles, is that great way to start?
10:35 jurov there are *all* idiots then... usually almost nobody gets my point
10:35 mircea_popescu then your point needs working on, or perhaps the expression thereof.
10:36 mircea_popescu jurov just consider this : for all you know i could be deaf and mute. i've never bothered to prop up whatever dumbass conferences they do, where various nobodies gather to pat each other's backs. i still dominate the field. how come ?
10:36 mircea_popescu apparently this can be done.
10:36 mircea_popescu way the fuck easier to do in a small country with a coherent culture, too.
10:36 mircea_popescu just identify your target, tailor your message so it may understood and let it rip.

11:32 mircea_popescu mike_c yeah.
11:32 mircea_popescu someone else wanted to do a platform compile, or actually i think multiple people.
11:33 mike_c yeah, cross-compiling early is usually a good idea. especially when you get other people to do it.
11:33 mircea_popescu indeed.
11:34 pankkake so it's git? in my mind it was svn
11:35 mircea_popescu im clueless so i just use these to mean the same thing.
11:35 mircea_popescu in my mind he just asked me if compilable code is to be published

11:43 mircea_popescu since you can by design make zero-delta bets, and since the fee is 1%... bitbet is partly the reason why mixer services sort-of died last year, i'd guess.

15:23 mircea_popescu i mean strictly public comps

15:24 mircea_popescu im sure people with history will volunteer names to fill gaps

15:24 mircea_popescu and just, name, what it supposedly did, when it opened, who run it, when it closed, other notes etc.
15:25 mircea_popescu well obviously a pankkake-style list isn't too helpful

15:31 KRS1 mircea_popescu: so the IPO/bitcoin investment model is similar to the trading style where you want to increase your bitcoin instead of fiat (in hopes to buy back lower)?
15:31 kakobrekla that hash is md5($exchange.$asset)
15:31 kakobrekla the numbers is the last price at which the asset traded
15:31 KRS1 In other words, the companies seeking investment would have to purchase their goods/services in bitcoin in order to do this.

15:35 KRS1 In reference to "You Can Raise It But You Can't Spend It". Whats wrong with a company sticking to their business plan, soliciting for $X amount of funds, receiving it in bitcoin, converting it to fiat? Then the proper execution of the business plan can take place with the investment model of using bitcoins for funding. If the value of bitcoins goes up or down, it does not matter. The
15:35 KRS1 company seeking investment isn't buying their goods/services in bitcoin and they've properly funded their venture. If they cannot meet their goals using the solicited funds thats another problem entirely.
15:36 mircea_popescu KRS1 the entire thing revolves around the empirical observation that companies which did not spend their ipo funds outperformed companies that did spend them, without exception.
15:36 mike_c the problem is that the company is then competing with the BTC/fiat ROI
15:36 mircea_popescu this is ultimately a problem of btc, of course, but still. financial analysis is what it is.
15:36 KRS1 And if the market price tanked without rebounding?
15:37 mircea_popescu well then that'd be exactly the reverse
15:37 mircea_popescu hence "empirical" in my line.
15:37 mike_c if you want to short BTC there are better ways than investing in one of these companies.
15:37 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 3 @ 0.1 = 0.3 BTC
15:37 pankkake if you invest in a bitcoin company, somehow you're also thinking bitcoin will do well, right?
15:37 mircea_popescu pankkake depends if the company is btc or not.
15:37 KRS1 good point pankkake

15:43 kakobrekla btw benkay re mixing, there is no g uarantee you will not get your own coins back
15:43 KRS1 However dividends paid out would make it equal i suppose.
15:43 KRS1 Unless dividends paid are always in fiat based on btc investd.
15:43 mircea_popescu kakobrekla there is however a guarantee a third party can't establish they're your coins.
15:44 mircea_popescu KRS1 you have 1 btc. you invest it. company trades it for 100 dollars, buys a hooker. the hooker makes 10 dollars a week.
15:44 mircea_popescu your share yields .1 BTC a week, and thus is worth w/e .1 * riskfreerate comes to.
15:45 mircea_popescu tomorrow btc goes to 10k. now your share yields .01 BTC a week, thus is worth 1/10 what it was.
15:45 kakobrekla do we give out certificates or guarantees?
15:45 kakobrekla one can see it as a weird bet
15:45 mircea_popescu kakobrekla but suppose you go bet, and put in an address.
15:46 mircea_popescu now, you know that that's your address, but someone looking in doesn't.
15:46 mircea_popescu maybe you put obama's address in as a prank.

15:46 mircea_popescu well so then.
15:47 kakobrekla it gives clues and if futher investigation happens you can be out of luck
15:47 kakobrekla so the guarantee isnt there
15:47 mircea_popescu in this sense, the clue given is no different from the clue of "we don't like your face very much"
15:47 mircea_popescu it's not a clue, it's purely arbitrary.

15:56 mircea_popescu "This creation of a new city, piled on top of the massive tribute owed to the Persians, as well as the necessary donative to the army to secure its acceptance of his accession, meant Philip was desperately short of money.

16:37 kakobrekla why shutup is true
16:37 kakobrekla :(

16:38 mike_c how so?

16:39 mircea_popescu yeah, until people start doing this, after which there will be a 5% fucking fee.
16:39 mike_c hehe
16:40 mike_c KRS1: yeah, that's the point. don't invest in a company that is going to use the funds for R&D or have fiat-based returns.
16:40 kakobrekla dont give me that look, i just dont like misinformation
16:41 mircea_popescu yeah.
16:41 benkay hang on, why would π=4 get rejected?
16:41 mike_c cuz it's a bad bet.
16:42 benkay how is that a bad bet?
16:42 mike_c um, because nobody would bet on yes?
16:42 benkay not the criteria.
16:42 kakobrekla if its not accepted you cant put it on both sides also
16:42 benkay well, "bad bet" per bitbet faq at least.

16:45 mircea_popescu want me to hide your back button too ?

16:47 mike_c the20year: you are turning bitcoin into $, which i think is a bad idea.
16:48 jurov he is turning them into brick and mortar
16:48 jurov or at least plywood
16:48 the20year Yeah, i read
16:48 jurov or dry board?
16:48 the20year That's the unfortunate thing with any bitcoin investments, if bitcoin continues to rapidly appreciate
16:48 mike_c well, not any
16:48 the20year But that goes with every single investment in the world that isn't specifically buying bitcoins and holding them
16:48 mike_c untrue
16:49 mike_c bitbet, for example, will not crash if BTC appreciates
16:49 benkay good luck getting btc-denominated rent, the20year
16:49 ThickAsThieves its revenue would decline
16:49 mike_c or it would not decline :)
16:50 the20year I'm not
16:50 ThickAsThieves there are plenty short term investments that could outpace bitcoin
16:50 mircea_popescu name one ?
16:50 ThickAsThieves longterm ones, much harder
16:50 the20year no one would agree to it, additionally no companies would be willing to pay their employees entirely denominated in bitcoin without caveats that would essentially link it to fiat
16:50 mircea_popescu we just went through this with herbi yest.
16:50 mike_c bitbet fee revenue was higher in Q4 2013 than Q3 2013 despite massive BTC appreciation
16:51 ThickAsThieves anything that appreciates in value 10% while bitcoin only moves 2%
16:51 mircea_popescu i guess we managed to conserve purchasing power parity or what was the line ?
16:51 the20year And that would be one of very few examples where it would work ,as long as they can keep their coding fees low
16:51 mike_c kako works for peanuts
16:51 ThickAsThieves <mike_c> bitbet fee revenue was higher in Q4 2013 than Q3 2013 despite massive BTC appreciation <<< it's not that simple
16:52 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-01-2014#468891
16:52 ThickAsThieves many bets were made in months ago
16:52 the20year The only hope that I have looking forward, the reason investors back us is because our company can arbitage low interest rates in fiat to then repay them in a manner that *hopefully* will outpace bitcoin
16:52 ThickAsThieves new bets will be smaller
16:52 mike_c like the february difficulty bet?
16:52 ThickAsThieves i read that conv mp
16:52 ThickAsThieves i said short term
16:52 mircea_popescu a ok. so... not that easy to outpace it.
16:53 ThickAsThieves not on full timescale
16:53 mircea_popescu well... he was saying short term too.
16:53 ThickAsThieves just a slice in time
16:53 mircea_popescu what's short term here, two weels ?
16:53 mircea_popescu you can't run corps on a two week horizon. just getting a sale throguh is longer than that.
16:53 ThickAsThieves 1-90 days at best ;)
16:53 mircea_popescu think about it. you wanna buy a house. you do dd. that's a week if you're mercury himself.
16:54 mircea_popescu then engotiate a price. that's a month or two
16:54 mircea_popescu then you do the paperwork etc.
16:54 mircea_popescu there's your 90 days
16:54 ThickAsThieves or, I buy TSLA at 165 and sell at 185
16:55 mircea_popescu yeah but see, the convenience of financial speculation is built on some people actually doing operations at some point.
16:55 mircea_popescu kinda their problems we're discussing
16:55 ThickAsThieves indeed, TSLA did not actually become $20 more valuable in a few days
16:56 mircea_popescu moreover, you can arguably have ops w/o speculation, dubious and sickly as that may be
16:56 mircea_popescu you defo can't have speculation without any ops.
16:56 ThickAsThieves what about you backing options?
16:56 ThickAsThieves whats that?

17:21 mircea_popescu yet the "community" and it's "press" fails to print in two inch letters "Hey! We have a guy here that's two years smarter than the best of the USG. That's why you're fucked."
17:22 mircea_popescu lettuce instead focus on what pothead got busted last.
17:23 pankkake > metal band skinny puppy
17:23 pankkake > torture
17:23 pankkake I guess I'm USG-proof
17:24 kakobrekla lol
17:24 pankkake maybe the torture is confusing music genres
17:24 mircea_popescu you they probably torture with arab koran chanting, or with nun music
17:25 mircea_popescu kinda funny, if you think about it, how "torture" = enforced enlarging, in this case. god forbid you listen to some music you don't normally.
17:25 pankkake I would probably like it… I dislike happy music though
17:25 mircea_popescu what else, they make some modest woman go about naked. torture of all hells. yet other women love being nude.
17:25 mircea_popescu basically the one thing people most hate is being exposed to other things.
17:26 truffles pankkake why's that
17:26 mircea_popescu to the degree it's "torture"
17:26 pankkake truffles: happy music makes me sad, while sad/dark music calms me
17:26 truffles weird
17:27 truffles sad music makes me even sadder
17:27 kakobrekla and happy music just sad?

17:28 ThickAsThieves "altcoin" is in the works
17:28 kakobrekla make it sha
17:28 ThickAsThieves i did
17:28 pankkake metaltcoin?
17:29 truffles omg pankkake no seizure warning
17:31 kakobrekla btw if someone wants to do it, primecoin fork with a finite coinbase should do better than most of alts outthere imho
17:32 ThickAsThieves subprimecoin
17:32 pankkake with a coin cap?
17:32 pankkake maybe so, but it will happen eventually
17:32 pankkake certainly slower without asics
17:33 pankkake (block reward decreases with difficulty increasing)
17:34 ThickAsThieves no, Altcoin will be the clear winner because it actually serves a purpose: to clean up the ridiculous altcoin market so everyone can relax, focus on one, and become rich just like early bitcoin adopters!
17:34 ThickAsThieves i'll do to altcoins what i did to mining binds
17:34 pankkake oh it's an altcoin named altcoin
17:34 ThickAsThieves bonds*
17:34 ThickAsThieves gut it
17:34 pankkake let's hope so!
17:35 kakobrekla whens the release

17:37 mircea_popescu Much of the noise in the liberal American internet revolves around making people feel good by talking about things they think are bad and raising the consciousness in a futile quest to change the world by talking. There are hugely diminishing returns to raising consciousness (even assuming the ideas you're promulgating aren't of the rankest communist origin). << this.

17:47 mike_c i would like it make sense. what is unclear?
17:47 mircea_popescu god help me. you mean yahoo is seriously going to do the whole bs usg thing in 2014 ?! after it died ?
17:47 benkay mhm
17:48 KRS1 Companies typically launch an IPO to raise funds, along with a business plan, to bring a particular product or service to market with the intent on making a profit. Why shouldn't a company raise funds for X amount of BTC, cash it in for fiat? According to the business plan, the investment should request $X dollars for Y project. As long as the funds are matched, and everything falls
17:48 KRS1 into place, the rest is trivial. IPO's are not meant to capitalize and profit directly from investment money.
17:48 mircea_popescu IPO's are not meant to capitalize and profit directly from investment money. << ?! what ?!
17:49 mike_c in bitcoinlandia, there are 2 types of ipos
17:49 KRS1 That money is to be used for the particular product or service mentioned in the business plan, right? Or do companies reinvest the money raised from the IPO and make that grow?
17:49 mircea_popescu in general a share placement capitalises the corp. that capital is then deployed.
17:49 mircea_popescu this system whereby corps announce what they intend to use the money for is rare irl.
17:50 kakobrekla more common in croudfunding shit
17:50 KRS1 The capital is deployed is key here.
17:50 kakobrekla which is what btc ipos are
17:50 kakobrekla only they are croudscamming
17:50 mike_c well, so is most fiat crowdfunding too
17:50 KRS1 The IPO funds should not be reinvested and grown further, they should be used to fund the project mentioned in the business plan right?
17:50 mircea_popescu KRS1 yes. the company, once capitalised, has a fiduciary duty to deploy capital efficiently.
17:51 KRS1 So a bitcoin IPO is very different than fiat IPO?
17:51 mircea_popescu efficiently means it will see positive returns above the risk free rate
17:51 KRS1 Right, and thats what I'm having a problem with.
17:51 KRS1 Why can't the company cash in the BTC to fund the project?
17:51 mircea_popescu aha ?
17:51 kakobrekla www.coindesk.com/new-hong-kong-bitcoin-exchange-welcomes-mainland-customers/
17:51 mircea_popescu because it's likely that this will result in negative returns
17:51 ThickAsThieves they can
17:51 mircea_popescu which is contrary to wat the company is supposed to be doing
17:52 ThickAsThieves the point is way simpler than all this
17:52 ThickAsThieves when you invets your bitcoins, you are selling them and buying that thing
17:52 ThickAsThieves so dont expect to get more bitcoins than you put it
17:52 ThickAsThieves in
17:52 ThickAsThieves what mp is saying
17:52 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves this isn't really the thing discussed tho
17:53 mike_c i didn't see that statement on the neobee prospectus :)
17:53 kakobrekla <ThickAsThieves> so dont expect to get more bitcoins than you put it < wait what??
17:53 pankkake "HKCex will also allow customers to use deposit and withdraw funds to credit cards using a PayPal gateway" interesting. no dogecoins though
17:53 ThickAsThieves is that he feels that is a major consideration
17:53 ThickAsThieves for the company
17:53 ThickAsThieves when to spend bitcoin
17:53 kakobrekla why would ANYONE invest in ANYTHING then
17:53 KRS1 Once you reach yor capitalisation goal, why can't yo ujust move on and mature the IPO as discussed in the business plan? The idea is not to make money off the initial investment, its to make money according to the business plan.
17:54 ThickAsThieves but that company cant outpace bitcoin appreciation in whatever currency it plays in
17:54 mircea_popescu pankkake kakobrekla curious how long that lasts.
17:55 mircea_popescu KRS1 ok, forget bitcoin for a moment, cause this is perhaps throwing you.
17:55 mircea_popescu suppose you are running the Fuckville power plant.
17:55 KRS1 Who cares how much you could have made off of the initial BTC investment. As long as you've reached your investment goals, deploy the capital and fund the project.
17:55 mircea_popescu this plant runs on coal.
17:55 mircea_popescu you have some money to buy coal.
17:55 mircea_popescu coal today costs 100 a ton.
17:55 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12400 @ 0.00091709 = 11.3719 BTC [-]
17:55 ThickAsThieves you might even say that investing in a specifically bitcoin-industry business exacerbates this problem
17:55 mircea_popescu they just open a new coal mine. this coal mine is larger than any one on earth, and close to your plant.
17:56 mircea_popescu you figure at this juncture coal prices will likely go down, if nothing because of transport, and so forego buying coal yet.
17:56 mircea_popescu next week, the coal mine installs steam power
17:56 mircea_popescu you figure, this will take coal even lower. and forego again.
17:56 mircea_popescu next week, they bring in mega tip top drilling tools. you again....
17:56 mircea_popescu now. you nominally are in the business of buying coal,
17:56 mircea_popescu nevertheless your correct decision has so far been to not buy any coal.
17:56 mircea_popescu what's the problem ?
17:57 ThickAsThieves youre in the wrong business
17:57 KRS1 yup
17:57 mircea_popescu no, you're not.
17:57 KRS1 Go back to your directors and tell them to rewrite the business plan
17:57 KRS1 and IPO
17:57 mircea_popescu uh.
17:58 ThickAsThieves lol
17:58 mircea_popescu you're in the wrong business because your business just got better ?
17:58 ThickAsThieves we're going back! to the future!
17:58 mircea_popescu this doesn't make sense at all.
17:58 KRS1 You are god damned right it doesnt =/

17:58 ThickAsThieves and since time passed, it did get worse
17:58 mircea_popescu it got better, your expenses keep dropping
17:58 mircea_popescu which means your margins keep improving.
17:59 KRS1 And investors keep wondering why they invested so much.
17:59 mike_c as opposed to the investors in the company that DID keep buying coal and lost a shitload of money
17:59 mircea_popescu right.
17:59 KRS1 At the club house they are getting laughed at by their colleagues.
17:59 kakobrekla lmao
17:59 kakobrekla is this cartoon network?
17:59 mircea_popescu it seems so
18:00 ThickAsThieves why arent more startups proclaiming to be 100% bitcoin?
18:00 KRS1 Their wives are ready to leave them and even the security guard at their estate is giving them better investment tips.
18:00 ThickAsThieves i'll start a record label
18:00 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves because the club house is mostly populated by retards.
18:00 mike_c krs1, wait a year. the clubhouse will have an enitrely different population.
18:00 ThickAsThieves and i wont deal with anyone unless its bitcoin

18:01 mircea_popescu if people were actually willing to pay for music this may be a brilliant idea.
18:01 KRS1 So if we all invest in a company that needs $100 dollars, using bitcoin, as long as the $100 dollar investment goal has been reached, what is wrong with executing the rest of the business operations?
18:01 ThickAsThieves before i found bitcoin that was the plan a label called Thick As Thieves
18:01 ThickAsThieves maybe i mix em
18:01 KRS1 Its perfectly fine to cash in btc for fiat at the time because $X dollar investment has been reached to launch business operations.
18:01 mircea_popescu KRS1 that you don't want to buy a house on fire at the list price.
18:02 mircea_popescu let them either put the fire out or else let the fire run out and see what it's worth
18:02 KRS1 You have to purchase at some point though..time is money.
18:02 mike_c around we go. what is wrong with it is that in a year that company will be worth $200 and the bitcoins it raised will be worth $2,000
18:03 mircea_popescu jurov http://explo.yt/post/2014/01/31/MPEx%3A-The-Missing-Manual-7-Bonds-and-MPOE-stock << pretty good shit. nice and thorough.
18:03 KRS1 mice_c: Investment funds are requested using an IPO based on a business plan. If you never execute it and expecting your capital to fund the business, thats a big problem.
18:03 benkay that'd be because i wrote it, mircea_popescu
18:03 mircea_popescu benkay wait, wut ?
18:03 ThickAsThieves maybe this could be the first charge of the Bitcoin Republik, we make a 100% Pure Bitcoin badge
18:03 benkay ;)
18:04 jurov benkay, maybe you wrote it and you will get paid
18:04 ThickAsThieves any person or entity that only deals in bitcoins
18:04 jurov but it was wildly inaccurate at places
18:04 mike_c yes, it's not that companies using their bitcoins are doing something "wrong", just stupid.
18:04 truffles lotta bitcoiners straddling the fence, makes me doubt their faith
18:04 mircea_popescu lol jurov is such a capitalist :D
18:04 jurov btw, part 8 futures is there too
18:04 benkay there were mistakes in the pricing examples.
18:04 deadweasel mind you all, i failed at it first.
18:04 benkay scuse me - i made mistakes in the pricing examples.
18:05 KRS1 If the market crumbles on bitcoin and you never executed your business plan and angry investors everywhere want your head then what?
18:05 truffles hide
18:05 KRS1 This is why I think that article is bunk.
18:05 deadweasel change usernames
18:05 ThickAsThieves well it was part of the plan right?
18:05 KRS1 Well written, but has no logical basis.
18:05 mircea_popescu KRS1 but looky, what officers do is make calls.
18:06 mircea_popescu some of them make good calls, some of them make bad calls.
18:06 ThickAsThieves just state in your plan your bitcoin strat
18:06 mircea_popescu this is the substance of the ipo
18:06 mircea_popescu not some "business plan", that's not how ipos work
18:06 mircea_popescu that's how board meetings work, where the board selects ceos
18:06 KRS1 Its an intriguing problem, but if the IPO is never launched and the business keeps investing the initial investment funds, which is risky, then this is idiotic imo.
18:07 mircea_popescu i guess in retrospect this is yet another one of those places where naive "financiers" of the glbse troop confused discting things cause well, what did they know
18:07 kakobrekla KRS1 if you dont want bitcoin exposure, GET THE FUCK OUT OF BITCOIN
18:07 ThickAsThieves so mp, he has a point you should elaborate on
18:07 mircea_popescu KRS1 well sure. but in principle, yeah, if you don't trust a unit of account it's saner for you not to hold it at all
18:07 KRS1 kakobrekla I think you are missing what I'm saying..sorry if I wasn't clear..
18:07 mircea_popescu than to invest in corps that use it but have foreign assets.
18:07 ThickAsThieves what specifically IS your recommendation on how a bitcoin-funded op spends
18:08 mircea_popescu for instance : if you think the dollar is going to shit, you're better off buying euro, than buying Ford shares on the thinking that ford does business in yurp
18:08 mircea_popescu at least grosso modo speaking
18:08 benkay hey mircea_popescu Ubitex looks like it beat Skepsidyne to listing: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6838.0
18:08 KRS1 ThickAsThieves: My recommendation is simple...if the IPO requests $X amount of dollars to fund project Y, convert BTC to fiat and execute the business plan accordingly to yeield project Y. Simple. Don't reinvest investment dollars. Thats stupid.
18:08 mircea_popescu o hey yes. benkay. "Shares are not securities." lolzy
18:09 kakobrekla they are indeed insecurities, mostly.
18:09 mike_c ThickAsThieves: a btc-funded op should spend its money to make more bitcoin. like to bankroll just-dice.
18:09 ThickAsThieves like if S.MG has a fiat expense, what, youre gonna rob shareholders?
18:09 mircea_popescu KRS1 "if the IPO requests $X amount of dollars to fund project Y" contradicts " convert BTC to fiat"
18:10 ThickAsThieves we're kinda saying all spending of bitcoin is bad business, right?
18:10 mike_c yes
18:11 mircea_popescu we're saying that the quick increase in the btc rate puts responsible, competent ceos in the position where they forego fiat deployments
18:11 mircea_popescu this is a major problem for bitcoin atm.
18:11 KRS1 But you have to spend it to make anything happen.
18:11 ThickAsThieves atm, or forever?
18:11 mircea_popescu no argument. which is why it's a problem.
18:11 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves hopefully it settles down.
18:11 mike_c seems like s.nsa built cardano with 2% of their ipo funds
18:12 ThickAsThieves such a waste!
18:12 mircea_popescu mike_c well, there's only prototyping for one board reported yet, and moreover most of the cost is engineering time, which obviously doesn't show
18:12 KRS1 You aren't launching an IPO in hopes to do business to reinvest investment funds. You are launching an IPO to do business according to the business plan of whatever business you are going into. BTC is irrelevant.
18:12 mike_c yes, it doesn't show. but that's the point. you don't necessarily have to spend a lot to make progress.
18:12 mircea_popescu seems a misrepresentation of what an ipo is.
18:12 pankkake I don't know many businesses that end up doing what was planned at first
18:13 kakobrekla KRS1 a bunch of companies have a bunch of people dealing nothing but with FX risks
18:13 pankkake I mean, not exactly
18:13 kakobrekla which are way smaller there than here.
18:13 kakobrekla think about that.
18:13 KRS1 I must be out of my mind for thinking logically here and believing an IPO and a business plan should work together to do exactly what they fucking say they are going to do.
18:13 mircea_popescu you are, yes.

18:14 mircea_popescu they're marginal.
18:14 mike_c krs1, that is simply incorrect.
18:14 mircea_popescu da fuck was tha tthing called anyway, fundkicker, gofuckme, what.
18:14 mike_c no investor in an early-stage company expects them to "follow the business plan"
18:14 KRS1 kickstarter?
18:14 mircea_popescu that
18:16 mike_c kickstarter is a lot like btc bizness. 99:1 bullshit but there are some gems.
18:16 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 3 @ 0.2 = 0.6 BTC [+]
18:16 mircea_popescu right, but that's more like a "daddy, gimme some dough to buy beer" sort of venue
18:16 mircea_popescu in which case i suppose if you take the beermoney and buy pot daddy has the recourse of wtf, i gave you that twenny for beer not for pot.
18:17 mircea_popescu an ipo is more like, i am a carpenter, give me money to carpent. the investor has no recourse as to whether the carpenter buys a hammer or a saw,
18:17 mircea_popescu and when exactly.
18:17 mircea_popescu in short, being an actual ceo of an actual corp which does an actual ipo, you are a professional.
18:18 mircea_popescu being a pseudo-ceo of a pseudo-corp which does a kickstarter thing, you are a whatever, etsy service representative.

18:38 mircea_popescu KRS1 there's a more subtle problem than the spending bitcoin thing.

18:39 mircea_popescu now that's an outrage.
18:39 pankkake isn't coinbase usa only?
18:39 mike_c i don't think that will last. surely competant competition will emerge at some point.
18:39 mircea_popescu that bitcoin not spent is better than bitcoin spent we could perhaps live with.
18:40 mircea_popescu mike_c before or after btc stabilizes ?

20:15 mircea_popescu that i can't discern.
20:16 mircea_popescu but you can trivially notice there's two groups if you take all the sm profiles and do scoring on them. you don't end up with either a powerlaw or any sort of gauss curve
20:16 benkay sm?
20:16 mircea_popescu you end up with two. there's distinguishably group A and group B, and group A is further traceable to convergence
20:16 pankkake social media

20:17 mircea_popescu im not saying there's anything wrong with it, for that matter. the people doing it are providing data to all observers, not just to themselves.
20:17 mircea_popescu i'd venture a guess that they're about 60-70% or so in the red so far, however.

21:30 mircea_popescu when they were running out of liquidity a bunch of assholes (goat chief among them, the "bankers" like kludge, jarnett etc,

22:57 mike_c that's some good marketing stats.
22:58 mircea_popescu fwiw, i don't believe they are in fact marketing stats.
22:59 mike_c what are they?
22:59 mircea_popescu what i mean is : wall street "experts" love to take a fee if the fund does well.
22:59 mircea_popescu statistically, the fund will do well sometime.
22:59 mircea_popescu they have nothing to do with it.
23:00 mircea_popescu similarly here : if you throw money around at some point good things may happen. just because marketeers imagine they have a monopoly on money beng thrown around
23:00 mircea_popescu doesn't give them license to imagine good things happening are a marketing event
23:00 mike_c so you're saying you weren't sure it would work, so you shouldn't get full credit.
23:01 mircea_popescu just as well i could believe it's a sign from god and go into the church.
23:01 mike_c but still, a nice move!
23:01 mircea_popescu believe it or not, i'm saying the entire marketing consideration didn't even enter into it.
23:02 mike_c you don't know how to take credit for good luck do you? what kind of ceo are you?

23:25 Duffer1 wonder whatever happened to that kid that came in here trying to start his own silk road at his college
23:26 mircea_popescu hopefully he got lazy and is now trying to shag this blonde teen.
23:26 mircea_popescu anyway, this debacle really reminds me of the bitdaytrade thing

23:28 mircea_popescu "It would be neat if a (formerly) decent darknet market were to release their source code under an open source license. Some platform to build your darknet market on would be nice, rather than starting from scratch."
23:28 mircea_popescu because code = business. at least if you're a redditard.
23:30 mircea_popescu "INSERT INTO users(username,password,PIN,account_type,UID,RegDate,BTC,Purse,btc_timestamp, About_me) VALUES ('" . $_POST["username"] . ", " . $_POST["password"] (...)"
23:30 mircea_popescu check that shit out.
23:31 mircea_popescu this is php syntax isn't it ? or does ruby use that $_post construct ?
23:31 kakobrekla its php

23:36 ThickAsThieves okay it's up http://therealaltcoin.org
23:36 mircea_popescu Hello,
23:36 mircea_popescu I am the owner of RoadSilk and I would like to ask if its possible to change the status of our website on the marketplace list.
23:36 mircea_popescu We are legit and we do everything to make it the most secure & safe marketplace ever.
23:36 mircea_popescu I know, we are not looking very legit but if we get some help with popular sites like yours, then everyone will notice how legit we are.
23:36 mircea_popescu Currently we advertise on pages like TORSEARCH.
23:36 mircea_popescu URL: kbhpodhnfxl3clb4.onion
23:36 mircea_popescu We offer high security and 100% NO-bitcoin lose.
23:37 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves do you even mine it /
23:38 ThickAsThieves No I have vowed not to mine it
23:38 ThickAsThieves But I will buy it
23:39 ThickAsThieves i dont premine, ythink i'm some kinda scammer?
23:39 mircea_popescu a ok.
23:39 assbot [HAVELOCK] [MS] 40 @ 0.005 = 0.2 BTC
23:39 mircea_popescu actually it's probably better to buy it than o mine it.
23:39 mircea_popescu seeing how buying costs the same, but also pumps it through the trade.
23:40 ThickAsThieves another pm "May I ask what are your plans with this coin, are you gonna take it seriously ?"
23:40 ThickAsThieves what does that even mean?
23:41 ThickAsThieves What would my difference in behavior be if I were serious vs. not serious?
23:42 Duffer1 the coin wouldn't exist vs the coin does exist
23:42 mircea_popescu it does matter.
23:42 mircea_popescu in fact, from a game theory perspective, the total dollar value of your comittment sets his maximum comitment in turn
23:43 mircea_popescu the discount rate of commitment is a market variable, roughly analoguous to the risk free rate in an economy
23:43 mircea_popescu and jesus fuck i've spelled commitment each possible way
23:44 ThickAsThieves So what if I post that I'll buy 10BTC worth when it lists on Cryptsy
23:45 mircea_popescu i dunno, i'm guessing he may risk his 0.05 btc
23:45 mircea_popescu if there's 200 of them it stabilizes
23:45 mircea_popescu if there's 20k of them it explodes
23:45 mircea_popescu etc.
23:45 mircea_popescu im curious if you beat doge's estimated returns or not.
23:46 mircea_popescu ie, whether you ever make 6 btc back, or if you make more.
23:48 ThickAsThieves i'll need to pay someone to update the logo in the wallet once i get the source
23:48 ThickAsThieves people didnt like the ugly blue one
23:48 ThickAsThieves goes to show, spending 10 minutes on a logo is better than spending 4 minutes
23:48 kakobrekla pankkake is your man, you can pay him in bernankecoin
23:49 mircea_popescu lol
23:49 ThickAsThieves will Namecheap fuck me if i host the package?

23:50 mircea_popescu lol
23:50 mircea_popescu just get a vm somewhere, dns webhosting sucks in principle.
23:55 ThickAsThieves You think a Cryptsy.com Lists Altcoin bet would pass the Halls of Judgement?
23:56 mircea_popescu you zeroconfing the no ?
23:56 Duffer1 bet x on yes, pay vern x -10, profit
23:56 mircea_popescu srsly. i mean cryptsy exists to list everything neh ?
23:56 mircea_popescu "I have no idea man. The fucking admin has disappeared. All people thinking us fucking mods in on it and we had no idea. We have no access to anything at all. All we can do is ban users and delete forum posts. We also lost everything. Invested so fucking much. No job, no security, now in fucking huge debt all because of “honest” promise of pay. I stil have some kind of hope, but it’s running out fast. I really re
23:56 mircea_popescu ally fucking hope this is just life problems for the admin team, but I have no idea. Thanks man for your support. This is a total fucking disaster though by the looks of it.
23:56 mircea_popescu I’m so fucking sorry for everything I’ve said in the past. I got scammed just like every other fucking person. Scared for my fucking life now people trying to fucking dox us because they think we’re in on it. Fucked up man fucked up."
23:57 Duffer1 so.. bitdaytrade
23:58 Apocalyptic not enough fucking
23:58 mircea_popescu Duffer1 this is a diff one.
