Yes I locked.

Locked for reason.

There are a great many laws, of which, at any time of the day you are guilty of breaking(whether you know it or not). Those are bad laws. Ignore them if you can get away with it and they will soon fail to become law (for is it really a law if noone is obeying or enforcing it).

Laws are simply "rules", something some people have gotten together and decided you're not allowed to do. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with them. Why should you follow them unless someone is at a loss as a result of your actions?

Bad laws by bad people should be ignored and not followed.

Evil laws by evil people should also be fought against.

Back up, see here for more information.

As part of the ongoing development of glbse I've made some changes to stop abusses that were happening.

Now users are nolonger able to sell assets that they no longer have (scaring the shit out of other shareholders in the process). However you can still place bids (buy orders) even though you might not have the funds (for example, you've sent the funds but are waiting for confirmations).

This is in response to requests from shareholders of SIN, as some trolls were putting up sell orders for more shares than were issued.

However to allow the system to keep track of asks/shares ratio I have had to cancell all existing active orders on the system. So if you had an existing order, it's now gone.

Please place another order.

Once again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Server down for the moment. Will have it back up ASAP.

I use sendfrom as I care about which account the btc comes from.

Actually I think it's about that election that's coming soon.

If Im using accounts in bitcoind, are the bitcoin kept in each account kept separate or are they mixed?

So for example, if I send a payment to address A that belongs to account A, and then another payment to address B for account B in bitcoind.

Is there any way for account A, when sending bitcoins to use the ones that were sent to address B?

Badly worded?

It's not going to go away, from a numbers perspective, it will become infeasable for the state to prevent this sort of activity on a large scale.

Think of the effort it takes to shutdown a single site like SR, or catch a single seller, it's a huge amount of work that requires a lot of expensively tallented people to do. And that's just to catch one person or shut down one site.

Now multiply it a thousand times (probably more), now the resources needed by the state become absolutely stupendous. They are faced with the choice:
1) Give up, it's like drilling water.
2) Continue despite it's massive waste of resources and almost total lack of effect.
3) Pour army size resources into combating this issue, while at the same time curtailing peoples rights

The state can't afford 3, and they won't give up (I don't think they will) so 1 is off the plate, leaving 2.

The easiest targest will become the customers, so it will be individual users, buyers that will be the first arrested.

Also I was wondering how illegal is SR? They don't actually sell drugs themselves, they are simply an intermediary, matching up traders. SR themselves aren't doing anything illegal AFAIK (please tell me otherwise).

I heard about this on irc last night.

I wasn't quite sure what to make of it, felt a little worried, and then I checked Mt.Gox

There was a big drop and then a swift recovery at this news, and we've been fairly steady since. What this means is, that the market (the wisest among us) was spooked for a short time, and then after a little analysis dissmissed it. It's as free a market as there is, and it has spoken.

I also see that this is bitcoin, and the problem is with SR. Sure the site is using bitcoin, but it could just as easily have used USD notes. Are the senators going to look to ban them?

They(the senators) have just given millions of dollars worth of publicity to advertise SR, bitcoin, and that particular business model. Young people(below 40) will see this news and think cool, because it's normal to them. I don't smoke never mind do drugs but is there really anyone here who doesn't have friends in real life that do(illegal drugs, including MJ)?

At least 1/2 of my friends back west do, and I'm not a stoner or party person.

Logistically the state is going to lose, they do not have the resources to ban something that requires so much work to catch a single person, never mind the millions that will use it. When more sites like SR (and it's a when not if) pop up (thanks for giving more people the idea), the numbers will grow to such an extent that the state won't be able to do anything except the odd show bust.

As avoidance techniques and technologies develope these will become increasingly rarer.

I think we can just ignore this and get back to work.

In an unrelated note, I'm releasing a web client for glbse.com today ( a few hours after I fix some site issues).

Then write it. you dont need my permission.

Sorry bitcoin only.

Not exactly, although 2000 shares have been issued, any share that is in the issuers account will not get any dividend, so the total number of shares receiving a payment is smaller.

Or you can work for it, which is what most people do.

I think adding pages not already on the English site would be a good idea, especially how to get from USD on Mt.Gox to RMB/Yuan.

This person may not actuallyt own the account he's giving the details to.

Use clearcoin. clearcoin.appspot.com

No, people don't need approval. But if someones got a share listed that hasn't been gpg signed, and they're selling them (and performing fake trades) then the chance is high they're a scammer.

To prove otherwise a user need only contact me, that's happened for two of the new listed shares.

I'm really sorry about this guys.

When I started glbse I was unsure how to handle this sort of issue, should people have their buy and sell orders cancelled because the withdraw btc from their account?

So I decided that people could make any order they liked, and it would show, but only be processed if there was a matching order for it. If any order that matches doesn't have enough shares or btc in their account then the order is removed.

I though people would be civil about it but it has turned out not to be the case.

So from tomorrow I will make the change.

That to sell an asset you must have at least that number in your account, if you remove the asset from your account (using transfer) then your order will be removed, and the same will be for your bitcoin. You will be required to hold bitcoin in your account to cover all your positions.

Feedback is appreciated.

We're going to have every girl in a third world country with a webcam putting questionable picks of themselves up here. 

still 14btc remaining, but what to translate?
