smickles: mircea_popescu: you didn't make
the named list "I'm
thinking about an independent rating service
that
tracks
the securities
traded on GLBSE, Cryptostocks and any others."
mircea_popescu: forum says he should start new exchange with quality audits which'd charge extra
to use.
mircea_popescu: AHAHAHA
this is so funny. so. SO! LET ME GET
THIS STRAIGHT!
smickles: the guy
that
the cool kids are calling a db?
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> sorta like a wanna-be mpoe-pr w/o
the zip.
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> and she doesn't seem
to me
to have handled it
too well.
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> his
talents are wasted in
that swamp.
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> pm

to your PR girl, Mr. Popescu.

jcpham: someplace european or
tropical where i can drive
the shit out of a car would be nice
jcpham: its been awhile since i was able
to do
the "hop in
the car and drive for a few weeks"
trip
mircea_popescu: jcpham it's very nice
to play stud/hold'em in
the harem
smickles: if we ever find ourselves
together
smickles: jcpham: you play poker
then maybe?
smickles: mircea_popescu: i
thought it was a different word
jcpham: i used
to say i was not a gambler
jcpham: i was wondering if you were running
thousands of
tx
through
smickles: jcpham: i did send a bit
to lessthan 1 once
smickles: and
there are various addresses for each X value
smickles: mircea_popescu: it
takes an hmac of
the publicly know secret and your
txid,
then
the first so many characters of
that are converted (hex->decimal)
the decimal value has
to be less
than X
to wint
smickles: so what's
the naming scheme on sdice? "lessthan X" what does it even mean?
smickles: that's a lame fact. who doesn't snort
those?
mircea_popescu: the one where you say you're secretly addicted
to snorting nonpareils ?
smickles: mircea_popescu: did you see
the recent change
to
the page?
smickles: mircea_popescu:
there arn't many pages on
the wiki yet :/
mircea_popescu: now go buy S.DICE S.MPOE and all
the rest of
the good stuff for
them :D
blazing: how many bitcoins do i need
to put away so
that in 5-10 years i can retire?
Obsi: Depends how much you're willing
to pay I suppose
smickles: Diablo-D3: i was under
the impression
that a 'fuck you' was required if someone posted more
than 3 lines in irc
Obsi: someone should quote
that ^ out of context
Obsi: I mean
to stuff in my box
Obsi: glad
they didn't pick me
Diablo-D3: did someone just
try
to attack glbse?
mircea_popescu: well
tghe only
time i had sex with a kitten it was via fresh cream
smickles: free cream for kittens? is
this a new section for you dtng sight mircea_popescu ?
Bane_Capital: How many bids are
there for MPeX at
the highest?
sgornick: July didn't have
that + / - breakdown, did it?
sgornick: mircea_popescu: >
Total
turnover 75 `648 contracts, of which -12`312 +7`100 CALL, -32`472 +23`764 PUT.
Bane_Capital: His money is stuck in
that stock for
the next
two months
mircea_popescu: so
the comp makes 1k and has 1mn shares, you will see 500 btc paid
mircea_popescu: this is as investor protection, because
the owner is never allowed
to sell more
than half
the shares
mircea_popescu: maximian yes, all dividends are halved on mpex because nobody has in
their acct but half
the shares
mircea_popescu: i
tell you one
thing, if
the
total paid accounts ends up being about 4k
smickles: i suspect a pass
thru operator mor
than pirate, actually
smickles: so can we expect pirate
to pay back about 4k now ;D
mircea_popescu: (yes,
the fact
that
the pirate isn't around anymore was also a factor, i wasn't going
to allow interest w/o ceiling in a ponzi atmopshere)
mircea_popescu: i doubt
there's not going
to be 10-100k btc available for
that sort of rate, especially in
the new economy.
mircea_popescu: historically MPEx makes something in
the 5
to 15% range.
smickles: so
there is
the potential for
the mpbor holders
to
take all profit from
the operation. You anticipate
the competition bidding will cause
this not
to occur?
mircea_popescu: so really bondholder can't get more
than ALL
the profit.
mircea_popescu: if
the interest is 2k
then
the exchange will have made -1k, and
the excess paid as interest is
taken from
the bonds.
mircea_popescu: if
the interest of
the 2k in capital is 1k btc,
then
the exchange will have made... 0.
mircea_popescu: the hosing of
this month forced my hand so
to speak. if people can be
taken for half
their investment
they really should be allowed
to choose
their own %.
smickles: mircea_popescu: and, what's
the risk of only receiving unsustainably high interest bids?
smickles: mircea_popescu: what was
the motivation in lifting
the mpbor interest limit?
copumpkin: this is auto
translated from romanian
mircea_popescu: anyway. on
the positive score,
there's no more limit
to bond interest rates now.
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: damn, sorry
to hear
that :/
