Bugpowder: my buddy just started getting
T supplementation
mircea_popescu: nubbins` when i was a mobster i didn'
t wanna go live with all the other mobsters. generally this seems to be a common trend, too, people don'
t seem to go "a shit, you know what'd be cool ? let's move upstate. the city's a toilet!"
mircea_popescu: nubbins` they were trying to sell me on the thing. i tell you i don'
t see it, why would you want to go hang out there ?
BingoBoingo: Look, if you want to ipo without any gatekeepers isn'
t cryptostocks questionable enough for you?
BingoBoingo: benkay: Sycophants aren'
t a bad thing, either to have or to be. I will admit though that mircea_popescu has made some poor decisions like Market Making X.idiff.
bloctoc: skylax you mean like China blocks CNN? There's no battle right now, at most there's fincen bragging that they found a way to fit bitcoin into their own status quo. I really suspect bureaucrats everywhere don'
t give a shit except that reporters only want to talk about bitcoin.
benkay: don'
t go overboard with the sycophancy now BingoBoingo
benkay: BingoBoingo: it doesn'
t look like they use localbitcoins. i wonder if that's even an option for them.

t read the PDF. Guess that would help.
zz_: asiclifeform: isn'
t the CPU running at a few Ghz, while sound <20Khz? What exactly would the cellphone pick up?
the20year2: The hope/assumption in the beginning was that we would be able to outpace the appreciation of bitcoin through the way we are handling real estate. Growth has been fantastic, but it hasn'
t outpaced bitcoin like we'd hoped. So, then the hope later on, and it hasn'
t come to fruitition was a reverse hedge against BTC.USD drops like what we've been seeing. I tried to get investments again when BTC hit $1200 and few I talked
the20year2: mikaeldice: for us it was just a way to crowdsource funding on something that traditional investors wouldn'
t bite into
mikaeldice: A tiny bounty, but no entry fees. I don'
t want to take people's money, even if it'd make the challenge more interesting. At the same time, with little to gain, I would make the bounty much smaller
mikaeldice: I need some time to set it up. I don'
t want people calling it a scam, so I might just put up the server and make it a free for all
the20year2: At some point, hopefully in the next 2-3 months we'll be able to access traditional lending methods and this won'
t be an issue
mike_c: ciphertrade.. that exchange that hasn'
t launched yet. i have this bad feeling about where you're headed.
the20year2: Eh , it just needs to be done right, and our lawyer isn'
t too favorable for havelock
the20year2: I didn'
t realize he was the foudner of mpex. Is he the one that deals with issuing?
the20year2: Is there a way to generate an altcoin that can pay out in other coins? I keep kicking around this idea of a coin backed by physical goods/items, but don'
t know a way to do it without inflating it , or paying out to holders
dexX7: didn'
t made it so far, to be honest :D
taub_: ofc it doesn'
t work out =D
Namworld: It doesn'
t fade into background noise since it doesn'
t last long enough. And it doesn'
t alternates often enough to appear as a single noise.
Vexual: i even sued a law school i wasn'
t enrolled in for wasting my time and they settled
amidvidy: as Immanuel Kant once said, if the answer isn'
t googleable, the question isn'
t worth asking
amidvidy: the NYSE isn'
t going anywhere anytime soon
BingoBoingo: amidvidy: In most of those cases it wasn'
t so much a takedown as they surrended...
mircea_popescu: it matters like this : twenty somethings don'
t have enough experience wiping their own bottom to opine on matters financial.
pizzaman1337: mircea_popescu: it wasn'
t clear if you were getting paid at all
pizzaman1337: so mpex-mktdepth.php doesn'
t return the order books sorted by price? that's a bummer...
davout: didn'
t really think about leverage either
pizzaman1337: just to confirm, you can'
t "create" X.EUR contracts and sell them, right?
pankkake: heineken doesn'
t sell directly to customers right?
pankkake: not really, you haven'
t see me fail to understand how numbers work in C++ :/
Vexual: pankakke: how to print with pixma 4700?!?!?! I can'
t get drivers working, please help!
mircea_popescu: there's not many scams goat hasn'
t shilled, starting with pirate.
mircea_popescu: esp because the black is used to represent the unknown. is the implicatiobn blacks can'
t write or don'
t have money ?
mike_c: that image is photoshopped. the price curve wasn'
t that smooth.
KRS-: and since this is turning out to be a bubble everyone's net worth will only be a fraction of what it was if you all didn'
t sell off your bitcoin
KRS-: ya..i was hoping it wasn'
t going to be a lower low and i am happy about that.
mike_c: <troll>i was just thinking that there aren'
t enough bloggers in the world.</troll>
BingoBoingo: fiat500: I don'
t mean on that level. I mean in that eal and protected modes are still things in x86
benkay: anyways. i don'
t really understand these tools yet but i suspect something went horribly horribly wrong at some point before i was born.
benkay: asciilifeform: i attended a talk on a google product this evening (that strongly resembles javascript but isn'
t in some not so subtle ways) and when i asked the presenter about managing different versions of libs on one computer was told that such was just never considered as a use case.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'd be more disturbed if they weren'
t selling it.
Apocalyptic: TAT, don'
t bother, you're not winning the bet :)
benkay: can'
t tell if derp or sarcasm
assbot: I don'
t know those people, and they don'
t look very friendly.
assbot: I don'
t know those people, and they don'
t look very friendly.
assbot: Shit. You ain'
t even old enough to smoke.
assbot: !ticker <exchange> <ticker> (desc: returns current ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO) {short: !
t}
pankkake: so much volume, can'
t handle it!
mike_c: if this were a simple problem we wouldn'
t be talking about it. simple designs are great, but limiting.
thestringpuller: of course, but the user has to record, mpex doesn'
t have SoR
mike_c: so it doesn'
t need to be mpex
mike_c: ah, block time isn'
t dependable?
mike_c: i meant bet time on BitBet, but you reuse addresses, so you won'
t always have that.
mike_c: nobody unhappy, because if that whale gets in before you, you just don'
t get filled
mircea_popescu: suppose i send 1 btc, ion the reps, and discover i didn'
t get 8 shares but .7 because someone put 10btc in 10 minutes before me.
mike_c: so the right time to bet is when i feel the odds are wrong, which isn'
t really the case right now
mircea_popescu: just guess the value of the integral, it won'
t kill you .not like it's a binding contract or anything
mike_c: i can specify, just can'
t do the integral off the top of my head.
mircea_popescu: so if i spend 10 btc i get a number of shares you can'
t specify. wjhat happens next ?
mike_c: the nice thing about is that you don'
t need a time weight. early bettors get better odds, and it will naturally get squeezed off when the market knows the event is decided.
mike_c: can'
t be done. it's like an order book
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: I take that to mean they'll randomly power up the computer when you aren'
t using to to see if you found any bitcoins yet.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think there's possible substitution for reputation generally.
mircea_popescu: not like i won'
t let you make a bet that expires early or that ends with w/e weight etc
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this discussion mostly started because users can'
t be arsed to use the fine tuning implem,ents already available
mircea_popescu: you basically now live in a cloudy soup of "i can'
t fucking know wjhat i'm betting on"
