(trilema) nubbins`: ;;ud shim
(trilema) nubbins`: great
(trilema) nubbins`: aha, the one guy referred to mp+-pr as "shim"
(trilema) nubbins`: this will be equal parts comedy and tragedy
(trilema) nubbins`: custom mining sub: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/71/Geiger-masturbation-mutuelle.jpg
(trilema) nubbins`: the bitcoin "community" in general is a cesspool of stupidity and frottage
(trilema) nubbins`: custom mining sub is brutal
(trilema) nubbins`: hm, there aren't any financial reports for vtx?
(trilema) nubbins`: interesting times
(trilema) nubbins`: nov 5
(trilema) nubbins`: pankkake: i lost on a similar one earlier this year
(trilema) nubbins`: there was a big stink about a new wireless company not being allowed to open its doors because it was majority foreign-owned, but i'm not sure if there was industry-specific legislation
(trilema) nubbins`: i wonder what the laws are regarding foreign ownership of shares
(trilema) nubbins`: oh ho! good one
(trilema) nubbins`: sounds like a bum deal, personall
(trilema) nubbins`: well, if nothing else, you can trade your name, address, etc for shares in an actual registered company
(trilema) nubbins`: bought back at a "reasonable market rate", no doubt
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: i wonder what will happen to the shares of people who don't want to hand over all their personal info?
(trilema) nubbins`: well if they don't plan on paying divs, there's either some serious salaries or some really shiny iMacs
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;calc 3000*.03*[ticker --last]
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean, they do have like a handful of employees
(trilema) nubbins`: not so bad
(trilema) nubbins`: okay so they only made $40k CAD per week in fees
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: yes
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;calc 3000*.015*[ticker --last]

(trilema) nubbins`: well, ya know, volume.
(trilema) nubbins`: scoundrels
(trilema) nubbins`: hand. over. fist.
(trilema) nubbins`: pankkake: the "new, lower" fees are 1.5% on every trade
(trilema) nubbins`: no, they were making money hand-over-fist.
(trilema) nubbins`: "VirtEx took 4000 btc from an IPO in March ($150K) promising a dividend that they never delivered. Now, only 9 months later, their market reap is worth $3.6M (quite the gestation) and they are exiting the exchange. No dividend, no buyback, simply a promise to exchange currently held shares for "something else". "
(trilema) nubbins`: pankkake yes
(trilema) nubbins`: at least they can't sell them
(trilema) nubbins`: ok, after reading further, it looks like holders can redeem their havelock shares for actual share certificates from virtex
(trilema) nubbins`: this is going to make it a lot harder for my business to accept btc
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, time i guess to make sure my virtex account is cleared out.
(trilema) nubbins`: or <business number> Canada Inc. for federally incorporated
(trilema) nubbins`: joke being that you can refer to your business as <business number> <province> Inc.
(trilema) nubbins`: lelel
(trilema) nubbins`: from the announcement: "1612643 Alberta Inc. (operating as Virtex)"
(trilema) nubbins`: from the link: ".."certificates" in another company called Alberta"

(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, funny story. got this new kind of dope, been sneezing like mad
(trilema) nubbins`: oo you're right
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: what's an order of magnitude, anyway

(trilema) nubbins`: so my bank released an update to their mobile banking app
(trilema) nubbins`: i had a great idea for 3d printing an adjustable-length squeegee handle last night
(trilema) nubbins`: and a sale is made
(trilema) nubbins`: man, this sourdough is actually the best batch yet
(trilema) nubbins`: or never have to not waste a moment, if you like
(trilema) nubbins`: the appeal is that you never have to waste a moment -- you can browse upworthy while you're taking a shit.
(trilema) nubbins`: *not
(trilema) nubbins`: it's nice -- and surprising -- to be able to pour boiling water into a container, wait 5 minutes, and have a delicious meal that's mot full of sodium benzoate and shit
(trilema) nubbins`: was on a really big homemade camping food kick the last few summers
(trilema) nubbins`: i have a ton of them, having broken my first one and purchasing a good one the second time around

(trilema) nubbins`: how are you planning to identify the machine?
(trilema) nubbins`: well, when you say a specific machine
(trilema) nubbins`: you could have a thousand machines sharing an ip
(trilema) nubbins`: eh...
(trilema) nubbins`: anyone here own a 3d printer?
(trilema) nubbins`: it can be two things
(trilema) nubbins`: do they even internet?
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm just not sure in what other context it would make sense to have a service that moves btc from one country to another
(trilema) nubbins`: they're going to print out private keys and smuggle them over the border?
(trilema) nubbins`: i don't get it
(trilema) nubbins`: "we've no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck your mother."
(trilema) nubbins`: srsly, people will read "thrice-cursed" and gasp 3x as hard
(trilema) nubbins`: thrice-cursed acts!
(trilema) nubbins`: "ten times son of a dog!" etc
(trilema) nubbins`: recall some time ago i was explaining that being the son of a dog was a grave insult, then they just start throwing numbers in front of it?
(trilema) nubbins`: However, despicable human scum Jang, who was worse than a dog, perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery
(trilema) nubbins`: it's not
(trilema) nubbins`: they were starting to roll out the suicide doors city-wide when i was there tho
(trilema) nubbins`: mirrors would cause some to second-guess
(trilema) nubbins`: idea being that the train is fastest at that point, making it a favored jump spot
(trilema) nubbins`: subways in seoul had mirrors across the pit, on the incoming side of all the tunnels
(trilema) nubbins`: essential chili ingredient

(trilema) nubbins`: <benkay> a real millionaire would spend it all exhibiting the wealth, right?
(trilema) nubbins`: is there any actual record of someone purchasing freshly-minted coins from a pool?
(trilema) nubbins`: well in that case he probably kept every satoshi, less minting costs
(trilema) nubbins`: ah yeah?
(trilema) nubbins`: minus living expenses, not sure if he held a day job
(trilema) nubbins`: ah, i suspect mike kept most of his profits in btc
(trilema) nubbins`: lel @ mp

(trilema) nubbins`: maybe followed by an [F11] for good measure
(trilema) nubbins`: to the host computer
(trilema) nubbins`: i should design a trezor-looking HID that, when connected, sends "[windows-r], www.mydomain.com/horsedick.avi, [enter]"
(trilema) nubbins`: see what the manager says
(trilema) nubbins`: go to a store and say "hey, can i just plug this keyboard into your POS and type a bunch of commands in? i'll only be like half an hour"
(trilema) nubbins`: ungreat 'cos it's a HID.
(trilema) nubbins`: great 'cos no drivers needed
(trilema) nubbins`: so essentially it's like plugging a keyboard into the cash register
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean, a goddamn HID
(trilema) nubbins`: even though it's a goddamn HID device
(trilema) nubbins`: and the store is supposed to just plug it in
(trilema) nubbins`: that you're supposed to plug into the POS at the store you're visiting
(trilema) nubbins`: hardware wallet
(trilema) nubbins`: i can't wait until the first malicious fake trezors hit the streets.
(trilema) nubbins`: the best part about leaving windows behind is being able to say "sorry, i don't know anything about that shit" when asked to troubleshoot computer problems for family members
(trilema) nubbins`: imagine scratching that
(trilema) nubbins`: one time pad on vinyl!!
(trilema) nubbins`: sorry, i'm just being saucy
(trilema) nubbins`: go read up on antenna theory, then
(trilema) nubbins`: front camera tracks eye movement
(trilema) nubbins`: super high res, use the back camera to provide a passthru so you can walk while using it
(trilema) nubbins`: meh, just attach an iphone to a headband.
(trilema) nubbins`: and it made my brain feel weird
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, i do recall trying out a virtual boy in a store
(trilema) nubbins`: maybe it was a game boy.
(trilema) nubbins`: wait, no, the years are all wrong for that
(trilema) nubbins`: pure torture
(trilema) nubbins`: and i had to spend two goddamn weeks reading the instruction manual for that game before i could play it
(trilema) nubbins`: we were on family vacation, driving through the usa
(trilema) nubbins`: i recall seeing a virtual boy set up on a counter in a department store the day i bought super mario 3
(trilema) nubbins`: "you mean we can do what we want and the plebs will bear the brunt of our poor choices? great! let's vote ourselves a pay increase!"

(trilema) nubbins`: doesn't really give G any incentive to not fuck up, does it?
(trilema) nubbins`: it just funnels money from (P-C) directly to C, because of some activity or lack thereof on the part of G
(trilema) nubbins`: (whom we'll call G)
(trilema) nubbins`: given a population P, and a subset C who file a class-action lawsuit against the government
(trilema) nubbins`: it doesn't affect the government, as an entity, at all
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean
(trilema) nubbins`: suing the government is an interesting thing
(trilema) nubbins`: no rush either way, i can't redeem my s.mg stock warrant until mid-january anyway, and will likely sit on it long past that date
(trilema) nubbins`: oh really!
(trilema) nubbins`: realistically neither will happen, likely because the coinbr fee is so low and the mpex fee is so high :D
(trilema) nubbins`: my plan is to skulk around until i figure out a way to cajole or barter my way into a free account on coinbr or mpex
(trilema) nubbins`: heh, you actually gave me a bit of a start then.
(trilema) nubbins`: OH HEY!
