Mircea Popescu : Only for idiots. Nobody counts what niggers think, and nobody counts what idiots think. This is like saying “you know… in Japan all they’ll notice is how tall people are in this sketch”. Um… yaok.
Her : It’s not a matter of whether your readers are rich or poor, American or otherwise. You are not in a small percentage. You are alone.
Mircea Popescu : Still makes no difference. Those people do not matter. This also means they can be as many as they want. Adding more people to stupidity doth not buy it any respectability.

Wat?
So... I mean.. like... seriously... wat?
Shit, I think a lot of people are idiots, but he's literally admitting to being in a minority of 1 and calling everyone else who's not in that minority idiots, which encompasses literally every other person on the planet, by definition. While I can agree a good majority of the people on this planet are, in fact, idiots, at least I'll give them the opportunity to demonstrate it before I paint them with that brush.
But wait, there's more!

Her : Do you actually not grasp that this does not come through at all? Or do you just not care?
Mircea Popescu : I just do not care.
Her : I mean seriously… how is someone supposed to know this?
Mircea Popescu : It is every reader’s job to either get the words right or seek help.

Now... I'm no professional writer or an awesome blogger or anything, but it was my understanding that it's the writers job to make the reader understand his (or her) intentions and meaning, not the other way around. If the reader doesn't understand, under most circumstances, it's a failure of the writer not the reader.

There was a lot of shithail surrounding one of Mircea's blog posts linked on Reddit yesterday:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/17zq8j/because_most_people_are_idiots_in_spite_of_never/
It is quite entertaining to read really.

He mad because no one buying his sexy pictures and no one wants to send a 650$ start-up fee.
A bit more. He brags about his successful business and about his employees, but here are the numbers: http://www.firme.info/polimedia-srl-cui22530016/.
Another fact compulsive liar and failed businessman.
Another fact compulsive liar and failed businessman.
Looking at 2011, -68,000 profit lol whatever that is
More about his tactics: http://blog.spywareguide.com/2008/02/
He gets paid to post stupid shit? I'd hire an HTML guy before PR. Seriously, the site looks awful
It would literally take an experienced coder less than one day of CSS to stylize and format the page so it isn't a total eye sore.
Think of all the people that have already sent him money. Every day I am sure multiple people send 20 BTC (420$) .... I am more than positive he has the budget to make that
looking site look good
In addition to which, the romanian wannabe-pornstar doesn't seem to know that much about trading or investing, which seems pretty elementary for someone who runs an exchange.
Seriously, I saw her try to explain that the only reason not everyone is buying AAPL is because not everyone can afford it. Sweet mother of god
To be fair, he was insulting someone's wallet more so than actually defending AAPL (which has plummeted in the last 6 months and all the people who listened to me saved 200$ per share.)

DEPOSIT|{sum}, where the sum is an integer, written in BTC (note that you can not deposit less than 10 BTC). You will be quoted an exact sum, which you must send to the exchange address (1Fx3N5iFPDQxUKhhmDJqCMmi3U8Y7gSncx). Don't round anything, the decimals are there to identify you as the beneficiary. You will be credited the full amount.
This sounds like nothing could ever go wrong. Identify deposits by their decimals. 
Why... on earth? How easy it would be to redirect customer funds and tell them that they sent the wrong amount...
The exchange's gpg key sign the statement telling you to send X amount to the address. You end up with a proof signed by the same key everyone else uses. It would be hard to just claim the payment was not sent to the address (There's a single address to deposit for everyone). One gpg key signing it, one deposit address for everyone to check in the blockchain.
Signed statement + blockchain shown deposit... seems pretty solid proof for me.

I feel bad about polluting evoorhees' thread about S.DICE. So I'm going to spew my Facts, Uncertainties, and Debates here.
Fact. GLBSE's weekly volume is larger than MPEX's monthly volume.
Fact. MPEX costs 20 BTC (sometimes 15) just to sign up.
Fact. GLBSE has its own domain name (yeesh, 10 bucks a year is harsh man). MPEX hangs off of http://polimedia.us/
Fact. The domain is registered fraudulently.
Fact. Porn is hosted on that same domain, polimedia.us
Fact. The owner of MPEX has attempted to sell NSFW photos of herself.
Fact. The owner of MPEX steals content from other websites, including images.
Opinion MPEX looks like shit. Seriously. "border=1"? No CSS3? We have a highschool teenager on these forums whose website looks many times better. And is porn-free.
Debate MPEX is managed by an untrustworthy romanian pornstar whose hobby is to post libel about GLBSE through the MPOE-PR forum account. The free market has ensured that its high entrance fee means very little volume. And it's an eye-sore.
I shall be staying away, thank you very much.
That's all for now, folks.

I think he wanted to divert from Pirate40 drama with this stupidity.
Who, me? What stupidity? The facts? They're facts, mateyQuote
I don't think he succeeded, Matthew did well though.
Honestly, I just wanted a central repository for all of the reasons MPEX/MPOE is shit.Quote

I don't like the interface. I don't like the domain. I don't like the upfront fee. I don't like the owner. The only good argument for not putting this on GLBSE is to diversify the location of stocks on the market.
I honestly don't see a difference between the dice company and the exchange as there is nothing else worth buying on there that I don't have access to elsewhere for less than 20btc.
The price of S.Dice is crazy too. He wants to have a P/S of 10 with a risk level that would make junk bonds unsellable. P/S for companies is like 2 on the high end of the spectrum. Even if his expenses are meaningless, it doesn't change the fact that Bitcoin is a risk, and just because it is fully bitcoin denominated does not mean that I cannot convert that to investment capital in WMT or AAPL which carry much less risk than S.DICE.

Thank you for your information ciuciu; I've added some of it to the OP.
Now that we have a good argument on this side, I'm waiting to hear some arguments from the pro-MPEX side.

To be fair the owner has a good bitcoin-otc reputation http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=mircea_popescu&sign=ANY&type=RECV
Also i cant find user "ciuciu" on the wot so I cant judge whether they are more or less trustworthy in this regard.
right here http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=ciuciu&sign=ANY&type=RECV
I rated him a while back because of his deposit service. He's fairly trustworthy, a forum donator, and has been vouched for by multiple established members including hashking. Why do you need him to be trustworthy, though, when he states verifiable facts?

The MPOE-PR user does seem to be abrasive and attack GLBSE at any opportunity.
Yes.I think Mircea needs to hire better PR people and get the stock exchange off its current domain for marketing reasons basically.
I dont question ciuciu's honesty I was simply comparing the otc ratings. I couldnt find MPOE-PR user there either.
