thestringpuller: davout: per our interview. i think there is a bug in coinbase's model that paymium solved already. seems that if underlying banking partners integrated with Coinbase have a problem with a Coinbase account they tell coinbase "Shut this guy of completely or we stop letting you integrate with us."
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 41950 @ 0.0005052 = 21.1931 BTC [+] {2}
davout: thestringpuller: in our case the banking partner shuts the EUR account down
davout: and that's it
davout: then it's handled directly between the banking partner and the end user
davout: and we simply refund the customer of their BTC
davout: tbh the end result is similar
thestringpuller: Well from what I've researched they also cut off the invoicing.
davout: hmm
thestringpuller: So businesses get hurt without any kind of warning.
davout: we close the account too, but probably not for the same reason
davout: the reason for us is that it just doesn't really make sense to only have the BTC part usable
thestringpuller: Seems European banks are more reasonable than the US...
thestringpuller: Coinbase is gagged by the banks. "Bank Secrecy Act", so no one will ever know why their account was closed over here.
davout: honestly, i think it's pretty much the same shit everywhere with slightly different coatings
jurov: did it already happen at paymium?
jurov: like, they closed the acct due to,say, money laundering but no one was interested in btc side of it?
davout: i don't think we were ever requested to freeze a bitcoin balance
davout: eur accounts got frozen, but that's pretty much about it
thestringpuller: davout: but even in that instance end user can talk to bank and be like "Yo why you freezing my shit nigga?"
thestringpuller: with CBSE it's "Get the fuck out of here. Sorry we fucked up your shit."
jurov: yes i can hire french lawyer and start talking with the bank (or court)
davout: thestringpuller: yes, that's correct, they actually have someone to talk to at an institution that's regulated, they are legally a direct customer of the financial institution
punkman: davout, do they tell you why the freeze any particular account?
jurov: lol why would they
thestringpuller: Coinbase is clearly ill conceived then, if the end user has to obey banking regulations but cannot talk to the financial institution. And of course CBSE being a middleman plays dumb "We're just following orders."
thestringpuller: It's a scam.
davout: punkman: no, they don't. what you have to understand, is that from their point of view, we're simply shuffling euros around in their books
jurov: the question is, can sane btcusd exchange exist in the US jurisdiction at all?
davout: we simply tell them: "move 10€ from peter to john's" account
davout: (obv. very simplified example)
punkman: davout, so you just get API ERROR: FROZEN or something when you try to move money?
davout: jurov: i think by definition you'll never be able to get rid of the fiat stench if your job is handling it
davout: punkman: pretty much
jurov: punkman if you were in davout's place would you wish to know the gory details anyway?
jurov: i'd very much prefer not to
thestringpuller: davout: but in your case you can at least give your customers a chance to clean the stench off of them.
thestringpuller: or fight the institution that be.
thestringpuller: Paymium in this stance is neutral. Which is how it should be
thestringpuller: Coinbase fights for the banks.
punkman: davout: so does this happen often?
davout: punkman: no
davout: the financial partner is pretty anal about letting people inside in the first place (which mostly explains why our volume is weak)
davout: the problem being the bitcoin is scary, and that they're in the business of covering their sorry ass, while we're in the business of doing business
davout: (which is why we'll very probably change partners in the very near future)
thestringpuller: I've always wondered when the first cash only exchange will pop on Tor.

ben_vulpes: my fate is horrendous cobbled-together towers of abstractions
ben_vulpes: made of chairs
mod6: sounds hairy
BingoBoingo: Have you tried squatting it in sets of 5?
ben_vulpes: the macbook is too heavy to press, it's not like an air or anything
ben_vulpes: 2kg man
ben_vulpes: it's just too much for my puny frame
mircea_popescu: wait wut ?!
mircea_popescu: investopedia article fails to mention fugger ? derps.

BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Well, you could work your way up starting with an apple newton, and maybe someday achive an IBM AS/400 ans still further in the future a system/360 "box"
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-11-2015#1331631 << phun phakt, i have a mac here, but can't build anything for current macs because... it was made in '09
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2015 02:46:43; ben_vulpes: el capitan quest, day three: os x still refuses to upgrade xcode 6 to xcode 7.1, a prerequisite for el capitan (or is it the other way around? once i run all of these permutations i'll have to check that set).
asciilifeform: and won't run anything past 10.7.
mod6: yeah, i was thinking that was the case Mr. P. Just wanted to throw it out there before I start pulling 'em
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what a blessing
asciilifeform: the thing is almost fantastically useless
asciilifeform: but at one point i needed to run a java turd for some teleconference thing and it worked.
ben_vulpes: isn't it a delightful little hell?
ben_vulpes: so trivially miserable
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i forget, you have one for building softs for ipNohe ..?
mircea_popescu: what;'s the rub ? can't put enough ram on it ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no, though it has permanently soldered ram. it is simply that crapple refuses to support the gpu
mircea_popescu: oh you need the gpu ?
asciilifeform: decided 'if your box was made in '09 nothing past 10.7 will install'
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't have one because of that
asciilifeform: crapple's os does not degrade, gracefully or otherwise
asciilifeform: it demands 'xyz hardware or go fuck yourself'
mircea_popescu: sorta like us.
ben_vulpes: but $shop uses macs to deploy software on macware
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: cannot even replace persistent storage devices in 'crapple' portables of late
ben_vulpes: oh and surely i've bitched about the hilarious external port layout of the most current model
ben_vulpes: THERE IS ONE
ben_vulpes: ONE PORT
asciilifeform: one cloaka, even for mains power
ben_vulpes: want to plug in device and charge at the same time?
ben_vulpes: GET FUCKED
mircea_popescu: why do you people persist in buying this crap
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: isn't it a marvelous thing
ben_vulpes: the atomic dirigible
BingoBoingo: !up cryptone
ben_vulpes: enough hot air to float a vax
asciilifeform: to be fair, i didn't persist.
asciilifeform: but if i needed a portable unix box today, i would be forced to buy a crapple machine.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 23838 @ 0.00049702 = 11.848 BTC [-] {4}
ben_vulpes: i would like to not have to use portable boxes
mircea_popescu: seriously, you'd buy some toy with a single port ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: presently this is only in their 'budget' models
ben_vulpes: the new trackpads are impressive, though.
asciilifeform: in other 'news', in past month i learned that 98%+ of openings advertised for my profession demand proof of aryan status
asciilifeform: (~existing~ usg clearance)
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what you don't have it already?
asciilifeform: some bozos do not even remember to advertise it, and then proceed to waste hours of my time only to break the news later
mircea_popescu: i don't think you're allowed in b-a if you do.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: not only don't have, but never had, and afaik the monkeys do not yet smoke enough dope to hand'em out to folks like us.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly allowed but место у параши
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: current base 'pro' model ships with 128 gb unreplaceable persistent storage
ben_vulpes: 512 gb for another 500 usd
ben_vulpes: storage was configurable at one point, but apparently no longer.
asciilifeform: used to be you could even put standard 2.5 inch disks in there
ben_vulpes idly pulls up the apple checkout flow in a text only browser, laughs
ben_vulpes: oh wait dig it you can get a whole 1.5 tb for A WHOLE GRAND
ben_vulpes: what an inane pricing exercise
mircea_popescu: 1.5tb ram ?!
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4200 @ 0.000496 = 2.0832 BTC [-] {2}
mircea_popescu: why would you pay 1k for something that retails for like 80 ?
ben_vulpes: because one cannot put ones own storage in the machine
ben_vulpes: they are welded in at birth
asciilifeform: 1.5 ssd in standard form factors sells for about 400-500 usd.
asciilifeform: so crapple's is perhaps a 200-300% markup.
ben_vulpes: and an extremely small cost in the grand scheme of things.
mircea_popescu: 1.5 tb ssd ?!
asciilifeform: (the box ben_vulpes was thinking of doesn't have a sata jack, so you're stuck with what's soldered on)
asciilifeform: and yes, if you want a unix box with 300 dpi screen and where the MOTHERFUCKING PERIPHERALS WORK (suspend lid, etc) - you buy this.
asciilifeform: because nothing else.
asciilifeform: not for $million.
asciilifeform: not for $100 mil.
asciilifeform: *portable unix box
mircea_popescu: ~nobody ever bought this crap for this reason.
asciilifeform: i did !
asciilifeform: and a buncha folks i know in meat life
asciilifeform: and ben_vulpes, and - iirc - trinque, phf, ...
asciilifeform: and who else was it.
asciilifeform: nubbins ?
asciilifeform: and, and...
asciilifeform: pretty crowded 'nobody'
mircea_popescu: didja run off with half the sentence ?
asciilifeform: nah that's all.
mircea_popescu: so the box you'd buy is putative, as you didn't buy it, and as far as the rest of the quoted is concerned ima go on a limb and guess thye had other reasons.
asciilifeform: if i didn't already have one, for the (fortunately) rare times that i need such a thing - would buy.
asciilifeform: with revulsion, but would.
mircea_popescu: does it have one hole ?
asciilifeform: nah '09 had multiple holes.
mircea_popescu: then what are you talking!
mircea_popescu: im rrrrreally call the police i tell you!
asciilifeform: also will note that the portable i actually use for work, cost no less than the maximal mac, relies on blobs, and a good number of peripherals simply do not work, blob or no blob
asciilifeform: (lenovo w540)
trinque: I run a shit-tacular lenovo x1 carbon
trinque: thing is falling apart
trinque: I've fine-tuned gentoo on both this and a macbook pro previously, as perhaps some kind of pain fetish
kakobrekla: x1 tried to be mac air
trinque: yep, failed miserably; it has a broken lcd hinge atm

asciilifeform: the mega-insight here is that laptops suck ~because~ they are part and parcel of a kind of life that sucks
asciilifeform: so it is rather like asking why a prison latrine sucks
asciilifeform: well, because it is what and where it is.
asciilifeform: 'not a bug, but a feature!1111'
kakobrekla: (one of) my lappy currently has an uptime of 124 days
asciilifeform: what of this
kakobrekla: doesnt leave house
danielpbarron: my laptop has 82 days uptime right now
kakobrekla: youll never catch me!
assbot: Last 2 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/2R6JDXN.txt )
mod6: my openbsd lappy: 10:05PM up 215 days, 13:42,
mod6: think i shut it down on the flight from b-a
kakobrekla: i guess the point was lappy != field work
kakobrekla: is it surprising we dont have field clean rooms?

mircea_popescu: "You will probably experience a higher attempted double spend rate, for example, if selling a digital good to someone who didn't buy a device."
mircea_popescu: ahahaha what are these turnips smoking.
mircea_popescu: is "doublespend rate" even computable ?
mircea_popescu: 0.0000001% or what ?
