Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: btw, is wright related to that black dude that failed to extort money out of DMC?
kakobrekla: when is the bet due
Diablo-D3: so I just sorta turned off the rest ever since
Diablo-D3: seriously, I think I was like the fifth person who heard of pirate
Diablo-D3: I havent been paying attention that crap
mircea_popescu: except he's been consistently refusing to use escrow.
mircea_popescu: he's been "making bets" with people about pirate paying (prolly cause pirate threw him 20 btc early on or w/e)
mircea_popescu: you know wright, the guy who took money from bitcoinica to shill it, the guy who took money from jro to shill that crap, the guy who sold people advertising in magazines that don't exist, as well as the magazines themselves ?
Diablo-D3: maybe its too early in the morning, I just got up
Diablo-D3: but that doesnt make a bet
mircea_popescu: but you can't say some broke dude "made a bet" by saying something on a forum. you need money to make bets.
BTC-Mining: It will go: "Oh, I was on vacation this whole time! Someone must have hacked my account. ATLAS!"
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 it's the arbitrary date set by the chief forum muppet to not pay imaginary bets he's not made.
EB250: in this case, the definition must be wrong
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 actually i shudder at the thought it's not even the 8th yet.
Diablo-D3: EB250: except we do hve a lot of trolls
EB250: OK, thank you for the information. Clock is ticking and nothing :(
EB250: 2 words: "trolling" and "ponzy" must be the most overused words
EB250: I do not think so Chaang-Noi
Chaang-Noi: EB250 are you trolling? lol
mircea_popescu: <EB250> PAPASO: why do you need pgp4win? <<< "Trying to be part of a cryptocurrency without knowing how to use gpg is like trying to be part of the 60s without knowing how to use a bong."
mircea_popescu: there's a py script and a perl script for mpex too, just...
PAPASO: mircea_popescu told me to download it boze i need to buy call options
mircea_popescu: but if we have a process to get you started you stick to that, improve on it once you master it.
BTC-Mining: The I see there was an IRC plugin to automate that process.
BTC-Mining: I was using Kleopatra to sign faster on the otc instead of using command line mircea...
PAPASO: ok, thank you
mircea_popescu: sigh. PAPASO, we went through all of this. read the log, please.
EB250: "fat teenage girls"
BTC-Mining: Ah, there goes mircea, criticizing my favorite reality show once again!
mircea_popescu: usually with teenage girls in it.
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining yea, and they'll do what ? whine at each other for half hour ? youtube is full of that crap.
BTC-Mining: It does matter that he's going to the conference, because there's betters that will be assisting.
EB250: people usually talk about stuff they do not have :9
mircea_popescu: quite the opposite of me.
mircea_popescu: it basically consists of a dozen or so kids trying to pretend they're entrepreneurs while living under the poverty line
mircea_popescu: Because he has the existential dilemma of accepting your bet and not paying you when he loses, or not accepting your bet and still not paying.
EB250: "going to the bitcoin conference" why is this even important?
BTC-Mining: Seems like yet another thing that will be fun to watch
mircea_popescu: it still is just drama, the guy's broke, irl and btc.
EB250: LOOL, this is getting really good: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=102918.600
BTC-Mining: It might seem that way, except it was made clear from the start if anyone didn't respect his bet, he'd get the scammer tag. Theymos/Maged went to bet against him. He's well known and going to the bitcoin conference.
EB250: no, this is really "serious business" :)
mircea_popescu: well as long as we call it that, cool.
mircea_popescu: so basically this'd be more irrelevant forum sillyness.
EB250: none of the bets are in escrow mircea_popescu
EB250: guy who bets 15K that pirate is gone for good with all the bitcoins he stole
mircea_popescu: who's that ?
EB250: nice to meet you, I am riX2000 :)
EB250: what happens if pirate returns the coin?
mircea_popescu: trying to keep track of that is about as futile as keeping track of the us debt.
mircea_popescu: o, you talking about wright and his bets ?
BTC-Mining: You don't want to know how much...
BTC-Mining: We'll see, I'm quite interested to see the purpose behind this.
EB250: or this is another big joke on btc crowd
Chaang-Noi: iv got the champagne on ice
Chaang-Noi: <_matthew_> ☠ Pirate has 1day 12hrs 30mins 53secs to pay back. ☠
EB250: Hi, how many hours left for the ax to fall?
BTC-Mining: Fixed hashing bonds. I think it's self explanatory enough.
BTC-Mining: Could you stop using the word turds every other sentence? I'm fully aware of your point of view on the matter by now.
mircea_popescu: yeah, that.
mircea_popescu: i still think it's a very risky proposition. but yea, if they come out with anything definite it might boom
BTC-Mining: If they get ASICs out, they just might...
Chaang-Noi: hope it goes to .2 :)
Chaang-Noi: i have some asic, need the coin but dont want to sell...
BTC-Mining: ASIC miner had a large sale recently, at least relatively to volume, dropped the price quite a bit.
BTC-Mining: gigamining price is dropping because there's almsot NO bidding
mircea_popescu: neither the volume comparison or price evolution supports this theory.
mircea_popescu: point being : money can't flow from gigamining into asicminer if that later is shedding
BTC-Mining: Most of the stocks on GLBSE ipo fast and then have very low volumes...
mircea_popescu: was trading at 1.5ish a week ago
mircea_popescu: that thing also lost a good 30%
BTC-Mining: People are switching to BTC-Mining or another other BFL purchase offer. Also switching to ASICMINER.
BTC-Mining: And you end up with 30% of the hashing you'd get buying the equipment directly.
BTC-Mining: The issue is that he offers 100 mhash/share once ASICs come around (at current prices, around 0.75 to buy the share, + 0.25 to upgrade it to new megahash)
mircea_popescu: i have this queasy feeling there's more to this than i know
BTC-Mining: People will just price it how they feel it should be priced =/
BTC-Mining: All shares are already issued, the the price fluctuates doesn't impact the offer or operations at all.
BTC-Mining: I mean, what would he do? Just come around and say: "No, wait! They're still very good!"
BTC-Mining: I don't think he care about the price... what does it changes in the end?
mircea_popescu: right. guy's asset is going to shit he can't be bothered to come by. this looks great.
mircea_popescu: o wow, 2k today eh ?
rdponticelli: Yeah, I know about that one
mircea_popescu: rdponticelli nah, all you have is ticker.
assbot: Requesting data from GLBSE (might take a while, also might return fishy results as it does not account for splits etc).
mircea_popescu: lmao there's a new pirate.
rdponticelli: If you bought the first block

gribble: (ticker [--bid|--ask|--last|--high|--low]) -- Return pretty-printed mtgox ticker. If one of the options is given, returns only that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations).
maximian: That's great, thanks!
maximian: mircea_popescu: it would be interesting to see a graph of mpex daily volume
mircea_popescu: http://polimedia.us/dtng/c/ << better than 4chan
