benkay`: mircea_popescu: i don't see the hash options on your list of closed mpex assets
benkay`: quick on the trigger you are today, ThickAsThieves
benkay`: old gold is all
benkay`: "We won't be issuing another series for a while, nor will we be making further attempts to support seemingly "worthy" or "credible" "financiers" for a while, mostly because we're running out of quotes."
benkay: since last universe reset or whatever they call it?
benkay: and what do you mean by "online" and "long"?
benkay: hah got me
benkay: mircea_popescu: it's somewhat less leaky and crashy
benkay: well like i said i don't think i even get a say
benkay: mircea_popescu: you're welcome to assume jurov's debt to me. i don't think i even get a say.
benkay: how does that thread have 14 pages!?

benkay: someone save some for me
benkay: altcoin is a thing now?
benkay: dah do'h no it only paid out if bs&t didn't have a credit event
benkay: so MP how did PPTAPR/MAY work out for you? you underwrote what i understand to be insurance against BS&T and I imagine sold it for more than the .00128 face value?
benkay: Vexual: I also found the instrument mircea_popescu put together to go short pirateat40
benkay: (much wailing and gnashing of teeth, Vexual, but my pattern-finding is getting better and faster)
benkay: what did the attacks look like?

benkay: mircea_popescu how did you construct the pirate short that worked?
benkay: is old
benkay: old news
benkay: some days i wonder if mircea_popescu didn't look at Pirate and say to himself "oh so you want to see an elegant scam, do yer?"
benkay: mircea_popescu's self-trading nubbins` donchaknow
benkay: man i gotta write something up about goat's role in the madhouse

benkay: rosenfeld's fake short didn't pay out?
benkay: how did pirate get humiliated on mpex?
benkay: lol: with the caveat that the correct valuation thereof has proven in practice to be more difficult than it seemed in theory.
benkay: ty, mp.
benkay: 'you scamp!'
benkay: makes it sound so innocuous
benkay: what ultimately happened to F.PURE.SYNTH?
benkay: 'cause what is physical beauty without as prince calls it "pussy control"

benkay: of course, they have other assets at that age
benkay: haven't met many particularly good looking women over the age of 30
benkay: oh god i have to trawl economy>marketplace>services too
benkay: having never developed any skills in the arena due to self-overvaluation...
benkay: it's like how overly pretty girls seem to be missing something between the ears and in the sheets
benkay: at least in my limited experience
benkay: they're generally much more entertaining, due to having to compete with all the blondes all the time
benkay: as a result, redheads are undervalued in the sexual marketplace
benkay: all the cortisol coursing through her system all the time's gotta be bad for wear and tear on the nervous system
benkay: not at the rate she's pulling AMIRITE BOYYYYYS

benkay: historyyyyyyy
benkay: you guys you guys you guys
benkay: also whoever dm'd me; dm's aren't working for me today
benkay: the menagerie is necessary.
benkay: as if it didn't before...
benkay: well gosh if -assets doesn't have its own derpcoin now
benkay: good old asstomouthparty
benkay: yesssss
benkay: sm?
benkay: historic goat!
benkay: odd message from 'cynic.me'
benkay: haha
benkay: did anyone save any of the glbse asset descriptions? i know they changed regularly...
benkay: cascadiacoin
benkay: the research into pre-april 2012 securities is killllllling me
benkay: thought you saved that for the girls
benkay: just out of curiosity why?
benkay: wat
benkay: payment for mpex missing manual
benkay: this is not for 'securities' review, boys
benkay: i'm balls deep in btctalk shit atm
benkay: k thanks
benkay: do you mind holding payment for a day?
benkay: nope.
benkay: apparently not
benkay: jurov my irc is apparently broken

benkay: i imagine she had a business to run!
benkay: mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=14434.0
benkay: i'm just a little astonished that one booted a vm to trade these securities
benkay: uh
benkay: holy shit one had to run GLBSE in a VM?! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=12001.0
benkay: i kinda take the opposite line on that one - anyone who likes bitcoin should be pleased at the cambrian derpsplosion of altchains
benkay: need moar coins. anyone have any bonerbgone?
benkay: HURRY UP AND WILT, BONER
benkay: but not my pocket
benkay: hey mircea_popescu Ubitex looks like it beat Skepsidyne to listing: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6838.0
benkay: scuse me - i made mistakes in the pricing examples.
benkay: there were mistakes in the pricing examples.
benkay: ;)
benkay: that'd be because i wrote it, mircea_popescu
benkay: mhm
benkay: i expect what i do to be pretty good, and for people to say 'wow that's awesome' if they're easily impressed (or paste into -assets or w/e). what i vastly prefer is "listen kid, stop blathering here here and there"
benkay: praise is cheap, i'm an american child
benkay: problem rather that constructive criticism is so damn hard to come by
benkay: ty :)
benkay: staaahp
benkay: writing makes your thinking stronger.
benkay: gonna make me think my opinions aren't useless blather
benkay: you gotta stop this mp
benkay: ya well what is research after all
benkay: i just complain about everything
benkay: whaddaya mean complain about forum?
benkay: mircea_popescu many many -assets conversations
benkay: 's not like i came up with it myself
benkay: what about it, mircea_popescu?
benkay: good luck getting btc-denominated rent, the20year
benkay: there are words, aren't there?
benkay: in the meantime
benkay: well someday when i'm endowed with a reasonable amount of capital i'll pay someone to fix it
benkay: also iirc your footnotes fuck up your linespacing
benkay: that ^^
benkay: has always been broken
benkay: mouseover text is always broken
benkay: yeah your footnotes suck too
benkay: my everything is awful
benkay: well, "bad bet" per bitbet faq at least.
benkay: not the criteria.
benkay: how is that a bad bet?
benkay: hang on, why would π=4 get rejected?
benkay: no shit.
benkay: glbception
benkay: much work
benkay: oof
benkay: that's not a canonical list though, right? there are other 'security' trading operations not reporting trades in -assets-trades, correct?
benkay: mhm
benkay: are the glbse assets on that list?
benkay: irc logs?
benkay: >.<
benkay: Nefario: "I'm in China, English teacher, slow/poorish Ruby webdev programmer."
benkay: also an interesting note: the oldest posts on the securities forum on bitcointalk are from like march. was there a db restore in which btctalk dropped all date information or something?
benkay: mircea_popescu: recommended donation for public service: 0.006 btc/security unearthed
benkay: mircea_popescu: given the "ungodly" amount of work involved i think perhaps 2 btc
benkay: hashful
benkay: mike_c: too bad it's not listified
benkay: you can contribute by emailing me, pankkake ;)
benkay: ;;calc .5/300
benkay: i'd rather work forwards
benkay: what, is this a list or a review of each individual scam!?
benkay: mhm
benkay: yeah
benkay: so basically trawl bitcointalk/investments back to 2010 or w/e
benkay: mighty nebulous criteria sir
benkay: you have a list?
benkay: mircea_popescu: will you commission that?
benkay: oh god
benkay: and also mike_c jurov commissioned the m3 from me
benkay: but jurov it is true that just writing an option puts it into the pool that can be exercised against
benkay: ah well there is a mistake in there isn't it - the way i understand the selection to work is that an exercise hits everyone who underwrote proportionately to the fraction of outstanding contracts that they wrote
benkay: jurov: from mircea_popescu himself
benkay: we're all ceo's nao
benkay: http://www.carnewschina.com/2013/08/08/tesla-model-s-will-have-an-executive-back-seat-in-china/

benkay: ha
benkay: pinks?
benkay: dah what jurov?
benkay: something a winklevii drops on the floor and nobody wants to touch
benkay: sounds like a winkle.
benkay: oddly specific number.
benkay: this is a room of true believers ;)
benkay: herbijudlestoids ^^
benkay: of course
benkay: "WOMAN MORE COFFEE"
benkay: what was i doing again?
benkay: downsides of the home office
benkay: y'all made me strip the babe down and lose like 2 hours of workable time
benkay: but the most handfully they've ever gotten with me was when i wasn't regularly putting them on their knees.
benkay: yeah man i know!
benkay: dem hardwood floors
benkay: mine's crocheting a 'kneeling rug'
benkay: here's to setting women back on their knees
benkay: than visit a hospital and have to trust some 'doctor'
benkay: far better to have a friend who's been through the american nursing training
benkay: today.
benkay: what's the second best time to plant a tree?
benkay: twenty years ago.
benkay: what's the best time to plant a tree?
benkay: moreover, its mostly the firm's partners that the joke is intended for, not the typists and accountants.
benkay: cryptome doesn't have an rss feed for that matter
benkay: shit, i don't want readers who don't curate their own reading lists!
benkay: i don't want readers who can't subscribe to an rss feed on their own
benkay: auto turrets for all!
benkay: sounds socialist
