Pretty sure some folks would be *very* unhappy if they officially recognized it as currency and the IRS started treating it as such. 09:13 <@oddball> At least they're treating it as actual property instead of mearly data on a drive. 09:14 <@Dagmar> Either way, this type of bidding transaction will _demonstratably_ net them less than they could get 09:15 <@Dagmar> Especially because of the silly giant-deposit they're requiring to even accept bids 09:15 <@oddball> Probably, but the US Marshal service isn't allowed to handle it the way you're wanting them to. 09:15 <@oddball> If it's property, then it gets auctioned off. 09:16 <@oddball> If it's currency, it goes into the coffers to pay for stuff and the fed has to figure out the proper way to convert it. 09:16 <@oddball> (and by proper, I mean legal that follows all their rules) 09:16 <@Dagmar> There are multiple exchanges, two of which are now US based, that would convert it to 1,614,736.19 in about three working days 09:18 <@oddball> Yes, but I bet that the fed has to go through officially approved exchanges/banks to convert money, and I highly doubt that any of those exchanges are on the list. 09:19 <@Dagmar> Either way, you're simply talking about why it's stupid. 09:19 <@oddball> And, like I said, the government doesn't recognize Bitcoin as a monetary unit. 09:19 <@Dagmar> This doesn't bear on the fact that they're handling this in the stupidest way possible 09:20 <@oddball> Oh, I see it as someone using their brain while working within the system. They could just wipe the drives. 09:20 * aestetix hugs Dolemite 09:20 <@Dagmar> They could dump them on an exchange quite easily 09:21 <@Dagmar> The auction requirement is going to be lucky to net them 3/4 of their value 09:21 <@Dagmar> If that 09:22 <@Dagmar> One of the things i'm not liking about it is that several of the bundles say "held in the name of Suchandsuch Ladypants" 09:22 <@Dagmar> This tells me that they're doing something *other* than simply keeping a set of long numbers secure 09:23 <@Dagmar> There's no telling how many of these bitcoins will have already been spirited out of those wallets because they were stupid and emailed them in plaintext or somethign 09:24 <@oddball> Of course they are. These are all from court cases, so there is a ton of documentation on where they got these and who handled them while they were in US Marshall possesion. 09:25 <@Dagmar> Yes, and you only have to know the address of the coin to exchange it 09:26 <@Dagmar> I wouldn't be surprised to find that at least one of those bundles had already been stolen because of bureaucratic idiocy 09:26 <@rattle> You are correct. The UGS sees cryptocurrency as assets, not currency. Like blocks of gold. 09:27 <@oddball> rattle: Thank you 09:27 <@Dagmar> They'd know to handle a bulk amount of gold like a commodity transaction 09:27 <@oddball> nope. They'd auction it off as well. 09:27 <@Dagmar> A large amount of gold would also require large trucks to move. 09:28 <@Dagmar> No one could steal it simply because it was momentarily exposed to sunlight 09:28 <@Dagmar> ...and if it were stolen, someone would notice pretty readily. 10:18 -!- sicsscam [~sicsscam@24.154.70.234] has joined #se2600 10:20 -!- scam [~sicsscam@24.154.70.234] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 10:22 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez! 10:30 * aestetix hugs Dolemite again 10:54 <@Dagmar> Bleh 10:55 * aestetix does not hug Dagmar 10:56 <@Evilpig> that's all it takes to make you stop hugging? 11:00 -!- scam [~sicsscam@24.154.70.234] has joined #se2600 11:02 -!- sicsscam [~sicsscam@24.154.70.234] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 11:17 <@Dagmar> I am mightily unimpressed with the "performance" of the 403(b) 11:17 <@Dagmar> I'm dumping it once the waiting period after the address change is over 11:21 -!- xray [~xray@boppity.cc.gatech.edu] has quit [Quit: Leaving.] 11:25 -!- xray [~xray@boppity.cc.gatech.edu] has joined #se2600 11:29 -!- raspberrypifan [~raspberry@73.106.75.138] has joined #se2600 11:52 -!- xray [~xray@boppity.cc.gatech.edu] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 11:54 -!- xray [~xray@boppity.cc.gatech.edu] has joined #se2600 12:14 < aestetix> Evilpig: no, I just know better than to hug Dagmar 12:27 <@Mirage> ls 12:40 < aestetix> ok who wants a hug 12:50 < raspberrypifan> phreaky 13:14 <@Dagmar> Very sad that No Man's Sky's release has been pushed back two days because of some countries that can't be bothered to distribute software in an appropriate time frame 13:18 <@Mirage> http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20160808 13:18 < raspberrypifan> whatss a no mans sky 13:18 < PigBot> Title: Ctrl+Alt+Del - Navigating (2016-08-08) (at www.cad-comic.com) http://tinyurl.com/hukw3a3 13:18 <@Dolemite> A ganex0r 13:18 <@Dolemite> gamex0r 13:18 < raspberrypifan> ? 13:18 <@Dolemite> No Man's Sky.
