asciilifeform: hey BingoBoingo , is this troo ?
diana_coman: lolz, no, mp made it up.
asciilifeform: re BingoBoingo not giving damn re preserving orig qntra, that is.
BingoBoingo: 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
asciilifeform: 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
asciilifeform: iirc he bought 'btcbase' also, set to expir at approx same time as qntra
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I already have the DNS servers. He just has the registration which runs through October 2025
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dns servers yea, but suppose you end up wanting to move one.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: As long as the others are up, the changes keep.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: aite, it's your qntra, arguably none of my biz
shinohai: *sigh* "MPEX shares expire worthless" ... I iz shocked.
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
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: evidently that buy order for q shares you mentioned (can't seem to find where... but iirc?) zapped by royal decree nao
BingoBoingo: Still visible here http://mpex.biz/?mpsic=S.QNTR
asciilifeform: was here apparently
asciilifeform: 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
BingoBoingo: Unless you're looking at a differend MPEx I still see the buy order for 500,000 at 0.00001500
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, he's warned people for when he discards the listing.
asciilifeform: 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.. )
asciilifeform: 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
thimbronion: incidentally has asciilifeform ever redeemed any shares of any business for any currency? My own success there has been very limited.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: saecular stocks ? certainly
thimbronion: asciilifeform: startup shares?
asciilifeform: mp's? believe or not, also one time did
asciilifeform: thimbronion: i've not ever held shares of fartup that didn't burn down, so can't brag that 'redeemed shares'
thimbronion: asciilifeform: lol fartup. yeah I managed to profit off mpex somehow, plus one startup sold as acquihuire.
asciilifeform: 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.
asciilifeform: ~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.
asciilifeform: 'acquihire' afaik is always a scam (think, if purchaser paid enuff to the employees, they'd move to costa rica and no moar employees)
asciilifeform: ftr earlier link dun load ( possibly requires a hardcoded dns that i dun have... ) fwiw
snsabot: Logged on 2020-04-08 15:40:46 BingoBoingo: Still visible here http://mpex.biz/?mpsic=S.QNTR
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i guess he banned my ip block or somesuch
BingoBoingo: No idea
thimbronion: asciilifeform: yes in my case brought income for time worked at startup from below slave wages to par slave wages in total.
asciilifeform: lolk
