mircea_popescu: inasmuch as if
they would have otherwise sold/bought on
the mtgox market for sure.
smickles: mircea_popescu: you know, i've been wondering, if someone setup a short straddle at
the money with something like 20000 contracts on each leg, do you
think it would stabilize
the exchange rate for a while?
smickles: there fun
to look at and
think about

mircea_popescu: people keep fearmongering re
the us government, but my intel shows
the chinese govt will be our real enemy.
sgornick: Enroute
to HK,
though may still need
to return
to JP.
mircea_popescu: the plain stat is scheduled for an overhaul, but
this won't happen for a while yet
to give people who are using it atm
to provide 3rd party services
to migrate
to statjson first
sgornick: How about
transactions showing
the exercise of options at expiration? Planned, or DIY?
mircea_popescu: ya, mpex is not doing your accounting, you have
to do
that part yourself.
mircea_popescu: or if you never issued a stat in october, issue one and it's
there
sgornick: Can I right now view all of my October
transactions?
sgornick: mircea_popescu: Is
the absense of recallable
transaction history strategic, or just "haven't gotten
to it"?
mircea_popescu: but
the point is,
two
things
take out usd from mkt, one
thing adds more btc
EskimoBob: bitinstant? in google search I can see "BitInstant.com is currently down due
to site revisions. All orders placed up
to
this point will process as normal. If you have any questions or issues feel free
to ..." but when I go
to
the site, it looks OK
EskimoBob: are ASIC
test versions coming online?
mircea_popescu: some people added significant hashpower and are probably selling
the btc
EskimoBob: any ideas what is going on with
the BTC price?

smickles: thestringpuller: it
turns out
that
the official number is 10.28, not 10.27
jurov: so i guess you need
to submit order/cancel/exercise, right?
jurov: OK, exporting json interface should not be a problem. i planned
to do one anyway for mod6's adroid app
thestringpuller: if you can make
that happen jurov
then it'll be worthwhile
thestringpuller: Ideally I would like
to make
trades without a website in honesty
jurov: as long as you don't expect
to do X
transactions per second or more,
then it's possible
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller ask him
to get rid of css on coinbr :D
jurov: you'll be my special customer. I'm going
to cater
to your whims (no phonesex,
tho)
thestringpuller: if i were
to do
this longterm what would your reccomendation be?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller in general
the capital is
the key criterion. if you plan
to do k's of btc you probably want mpex. if you plan
to do 10s of btc you prolly want coinbr. if hundreds it's messier.
thestringpuller: if I were
to generate a high enough volume could I get margin
to cover "quick deposits"?
jurov: otherwise you need
to keep it in spreadsheet
jurov: if you are going
to do many
transactions, coinbr will help you keep overview
jurov: i do such "quick deposits" already for
those 1btc users but i guess you want more
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller
the declared limit is 2 days. it usually
takes significantly less.
jurov: iirc it may be more
than 6 hours
jurov: allocated
to your account
jurov: thestringpuller, only possible way i know is
to have some reserve (or margin) on MPEx
that can be used immediately

mircea_popescu: but i
think a honest rundown of
the
thing is prolly
the best policy. "here is what i can do, here is what i can't do. if you actually handle enough cash
that you need what i can't do,
talk
to mpex directly and problem solved"
mircea_popescu: jurov on
the other hand, browser sessions are vulnerable.
smickles: thestringpuller: should i use
that same address, or do you want me
to keep it on account for you?
mircea_popescu: jurov it's a dilemma you find yourself in
there i guess
smickles: mircea_popescu: what was
the official price at maturity for mpex options?
jurov: mircea yes i saw
that. now am
trying
to explain how i feel about multifactor auth
BTC-Mining: Consumers would help attract large businesses, who would
then start accumulating bitcoins
BTC-Mining: They don't own a lot, but
they spend a lot of what
they have.
Those who have a lot stash it.
BTC-Mining: why would
they adopt it if
there's no market using it?
thestringpuller: you need like warren buffet and his friends
to come in and "adopt it"
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining any guess as
to what % of roman empire subjects ever
touched a solidus ?
BTC-Mining: the best
thing
to happen would be maintstream adoption...

mircea_popescu: either
the bondholders or
the shareholders will feel
the 30% of 4btc pain
smickles: mircea_popescu: i gave
thestringpuller a mini-margin
thingy
smickles: thestringpuller: you're staring down

smickles: you still have a few minutes
tho
mircea_popescu: i
take a number of measures
to prevent as much as possible a crack
jurov: i hope you don't compress
the backup prior
to export.. heard about CRIME attack
mircea_popescu: but seriously jurov i
think it adds a significant level of security.
