smickles: the only differenc between my account and a user's account, is that i can set my actions to affect a user's account
smickles: not really like a form to email me, more like navagate to the page wihe the button that says "BUY X CALLS" with input for x and the details of the the call
smickles: then someone else should be able to use it too
mircea_popescu: so sorta like a form to email you ?
smickles: if i have my web ui setup to where it's darn easy to enter that order,
smickles: and the people who don't want to call, can use the web ui
smickles: so i'll still be available to be called
smickles: i'm taking the perspective that i should make a web ui that fits my needs to service people who 'call me'
rg: low end being under 4gb ram, less than 2 cores
smickles: mircea_popescu: i bet you'd like how i'm devoping this thing
smickles: and rg, if this does well, i'll need a dedi
smickles: rg: i am working on the minimum viable product right now, so usable and 'done' are almost the same. To answer your question. If I can put some good work in, i'd say 6 days to mvp
rg: who cant get with the times
mircea_popescu: what does everyone want to do ? TALK TO A PERSON!!!
mircea_popescu: there is something i don't understand here tho. if i ihad the option of using a website or talking to a person, i'd chose the later.
rg: when do you expect it to be usable
rg: well that's a silly question
smickles: I haven't advertised my services too much becaus I'm not done coding the website
rg: and was definitely too lazy to google fro the other
rg: i only had brendio on the top of my head
smickles: reading the log, i feel like i read "bullshit, there arn't bitcoin asset brokers. Name 3" <community then names 3 easily
kakobrekla: yes, this isnt microcash
mircea_popescu: you can't tax "the rich" here.
mircea_popescu: As part of the global push to tax the rich, Britain is now debating an “emergency” wealth tax. But the idea has hit fierce opposition from conservatives, who say the “politics of envy” hasn’t made the country rich.
Chaang-Noi: butthurt? not at all, ignoring your spam is not that much of a bother
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi i'm not the one you should be butthurt at.
Chaang-Noi: you should really move over there, would help us all out thanks
mircea_popescu: by me. in april. totally forgot doing it.
mircea_popescu: o wow! i just went to register #mpex and i discovered... it was already registered
mircea_popescu: yes pls buy moar shares because i know what teh web is! ty internets!
Azelphur: spose I answered your question anyway though, haha
mircea_popescu: the web couild exist offline or whatever, it doesn't HAVE to be accessed through teh internet.
Azelphur: guess wikipedia has the final word :p
mircea_popescu: the final part is just typical wikipedia crud.
mircea_popescu: "The World Wide Web (abbreviated as WWW or W3, commonly known as the Web ), is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet."
mircea_popescu: well this'd happen to be a barbarism.
Azelphur: and web pages are web pages, they are not "the web"
Azelphur: the internet is laid out like a web, which is why the two terms are used synonymously
mircea_popescu: thats what the web is lol.
Azelphur: I don't think that's correct at all (what does a web have to do with html documents)
mircea_popescu: it's implemented on the internet, sure, but that's irrelevant really.
mircea_popescu: it's not a matter of what i think. the web is the sum of all html documents and their connections (ie links).
Azelphur: what do you think the web is?
mircea_popescu: why ? internet carries the web, it's the superset there.
mircea_popescu: you mean car, but hey, they're means of transportation so it's ok
mircea_popescu: sorta like saying you're going to town in your boat
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: because one is a description of the other
mircea_popescu: why do people confuse the web with the internet ?
mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin is a new web-technology that enables people"
mircea_popescu: well.. anyway, here's to hoping people are smarting but a lot smarter.
toffoo: actually, I did briefly try mybitcoin and bitcoinica … but I guess it was lucky I didn't stick around too long
toffoo: no, I think you were around .. it wasn't that long ago
mircea_popescu: i wasn't in that either.
toffoo: I did lose 10 BTC to bitscalper though
toffoo: haven't lost a bitcent to any
mircea_popescu: im not sure there's five of us.
toffoo: so far, I've managed to swerve MyBitcoin, Bitcoinica, AND pirate
toffoo: I'm started to get pretty proud of myself ...
mircea_popescu: is just the first person who didn't swallow it.
mircea_popescu: fact of the matter is, the guy who finally burst it weeks ago is not the first person who didn't get paid.
toffoo: with the argument that pirate would probably collapse "some day" .. but not "yet"
mircea_popescu: the true killer was that some people brought forth not really proof... but some indication of possible collusion. it became clear it's impossible to actually verify a default.
toffoo: I remember considering buying some at the time,
mircea_popescu: after that... well... nobody wanted to touch it anymore really, volume was tiny.
mircea_popescu: i totally got lucky, is true.
toffoo: nice. always better to be lucky than smart is what I say ;)
mircea_popescu: but at any rate, i just wish more people sat for a moment and thought things through.
mircea_popescu: the way it played out, i sold the stuff, then the people with the passthroughs misstepped (i don't recall, i think announced 2k and issued 1k or something)
mircea_popescu: toffoo actually i didn't lose anything, is the thing.
toffoo: I hope you didn't lose too much on that
toffoo: was your credit derivative the first major bet against pirate?
toffoo: mircea: been meaning to congratulate you, you were way ahead of the game on the pirate fiasco
mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=22032.0 reading this is so very amusing
mircea_popescu: i think i'd pay for this.
mircea_popescu: speaking of forum users, someone should drag that loupgaroux character on irc
mircea_popescu: i blame the school system.
mircea_popescu: some douche talks nice to them, flatters them a little, wham, best of friends.
mircea_popescu: people overvalue the surface of things these days
BTCHero: god damn gigavps making friends with the devil
mircea_popescu: i think maybe he's just gettying hit by a general flood of people from the sinking ship.
BTCHero: I mean it is one of the few that are going to be worth something when/if asic hits right?
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi "LIF.CX to me seemed like a ponzi, esp after I asked him about it. What I am wondering however is why did it go bad so soon? Even if this was designed to fail it should have lasted longer than this." remember that quote ?
BTCHero: him and pirate are buddies, but how/why does this affect the price of the share
mircea_popescu: maybe there's more to this than i know.
mircea_popescu: yes, the guy was in pirate. nevertheless, he has farms and stuff.
mircea_popescu: im not entirely usre that's warranted.
mircea_popescu: i dun really liek them
mircea_popescu: well... de gustibus as they say
