artifexd: I think my (possible?) mistake is in thinking that he has access to the same information as the rest of us (specifically, me). He may have more people to pour over it and analyze it, but the raw information is available.
benkay: that'd be what we call an 'assumption'.
artifexd: Or rather, that I have access to the same information he does.

artifexd: When I was in the Navy, lower ranked officers were nothing special, but even lower enlisted (like myself) didn't have conversations with the Captains and Admirals. There was the understanding that they were "people" just like us (meaning the enlisted folk), but their concerns and our concerns didn't overlap enough to allow for everyday conversation. There
artifexd: was a real caste system.
artifexd: Here, mircea and I should not exist in the same caste. I'm just a normal dude. He's a Romanian Billionare. WITH A B! I can conceive of no reason that someone that high up the food chain would give two shits about what I think or why I think it.
benkay: that understanding is the glue holding the democratic army of america together
artifexd: And yet, every time I talk, he gives me the time of day. When I question him, he responds reasonably. I guess that encourages me to treat him as an equal.
benkay: and yeah, they're probably just like you in the particulars of their lives and mistresses and dinners and base houses etc

Namworld: They have Bitcoin related website, some real estates and restaurant and random stuff. Eh...
Namworld: The name seems to be a bad coincidence. An awful one even.
Namworld: Doesn't look like an appropriate candidate anyway. There's no amount of duct tape that can fix MtGox.
Namworld: And own silkroad.com, which is HR related, which must be their first business, hence the name: http://www.silkroad.com/
fluffypony: I read somewhere they're offering 1 BTC and are willing to absorb all the liabilities
Namworld: What liabilities?
fluffypony: all the money Karpeles stole, presumably?
Namworld: So, basically, they are insane?
fluffypony: they'll probably take the BTC pool that has been "discovered"
fluffypony: and then distribute that proportionally

fluffypony: of what they had

Namworld: Assuming Karpeles doesn't get to keep his 100k that he "also lost"
fluffypony: I don't think they'd be stupid enough to cover the rest, unless they never want to ever achieve any level of profitability
bounce: then call it a day. then what? a rotten website and trading "engine", an unwilling user base (I mean... well, they didn't walk away before, did they?), and, trouble with nosy 'merkin regulators. what'd be in it for them?
fluffypony: bounce: who knows what goes through their heads
fluffypony: maybe they think the gox name is salvageable
bounce: could be a TLAgency front. then again, why go through all the trouble? might as well set up one anew.
Namworld: Depends on the sort of capital they have. Gox's name isn't what's doomed. It's the code created by Karpeles and Karpeles himself.
Namworld: If they don't have to pay back balances lost, just what's left, and get to have all the userbase with docs...
Namworld: They could even relaunch anew with their own name
bounce: depends a bit on what you could do with that. though apparently you could've grabbed that yourself, seeing the guys that first promised not to sell the loot, then offered to sell it anyway.
fluffypony: bounce: you'll be surprised who comes crawling back
Namworld: That's the only thing I can imagine someone going after, the doxed userbase without having to pay balances
fluffypony: also afaik, wasn't gox tightly integrated into some trading platforms?
fluffypony: a lot of heavy traders aren't going to want to reinvest fresh capital and then still have to pay for compatability with whatever platform they use
fluffypony: but the opportunity to keep using the tools even with only 25% of their capital that was in gox
fluffypony: may be appealing
Namworld: Bounce, if someone took it from the hacker and spammed the users telling them "We already have your docs, come trade on a good BTC market! *LINK*"
Namworld: Well let's just say it wouldn't pass.
bounce: notice how you can s/hacker/boogieman/ and you'd make about as much sense. in fact, you'd be more honest.

Apocalyptic: <benkay> a sniper opened fire on an electric(al) substation? << sounds legit
mircea_popescu: plus absurdistan ecological regulations, like being criminally responsible for birds flying into your intake vents
benkay: coulda sworn it was assault rifles Apocalyptic
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic this was an actual event btw.
bounce: you really need no "sniper" people (or just people with a fork lift driving into a high voltage mast, as happened elsewhere) for an unstable grid. politicians will do just fine.
benkay: and at close range
mircea_popescu: it was assault rifles, and at close range.
benkay: (how the fuck do you snipe *anything* inside a substation - lines of sight have to be like 20ft max)
mircea_popescu: they're conveniently forgetting to mention the ominous part where the attackers disabled the security with minimal, expert moves.
bounce: assault rifles are still a bit of a poor choice. wrenches do better.

mircea_popescu: the thing goes offline w/o coolant.
mircea_popescu: and because of ecological concerns, old style coolant mixtures that were azerotropic were replaced with new, more expensive formulations. a punctured coolant room means you have to empty, was and refill.

benkay: everything oscillates. there is no such thing as steady state in natural systems.

bounce: anyway, china going communist has, well, at least given a different flavour to the thing. wonder if and when they're going to do something about that
mircea_popescu: i don't think they were ever anything else.
mircea_popescu: buncha equal peons, and the emperor drunk out of his mind. between these, a bureaucracy, completely arbitrarily "educated" by rote.
mircea_popescu: this has been china for pretty much the entire interval

fluffypony: BingoBoingo: yeah, and with a sufficient number of nodes it's also good from a privacy perspective
fluffypony: I really like Electrum, much more than MultiBit
BingoBoingo: I like the Multibit interface more for handling multiple wallet, but I'm liking Electrum more and more as I play with it. I just wish there was a good solution for handling both Deterministic and random generation wallets.
fluffypony: you can import privkeys for random generated wallets in electrum?
dignork: fluffypony, you can, but then you'll have to treat your wallet as non-deterministic
fluffypony: so you make sure you have the privkeys backed up/written down for your random addresses
fluffypony: and the rest are all deterministic, including your change addresses
BingoBoingo: There are a number of reasons to want wallets with different kinds of behavior. For some purposes different change addresses is a bug.
dignork: BingoBoingo, when would you want to disable change addresses?
