MJR_: yep thats my point, we are watching a farce play out, but we can't intervene
OgNasty: Can't bounce if people can't buy.

bgupta: If it hits 50, I will sell some things that I don't really want to part with to take a larger btc position
pgp: yesterday, I was having cocktails with VCs and everyone wants to talk to me about bitcoins - after today, they won't even recognize me
scottjp: As I see it - we have broken into the mainstream ever so slightly and our systems don't hold up. This is part of the process I guess - this will help us improve - but it's pretty embarrassing
Bugpowdurrrr: there wasn't that much options action
mircea_popescu: then you won't have to ask me if we're under attack.
mircea_popescu: doesn't that look pretty.
taub: kraken isn't live yet
splnkr: I'd give Kraken a try but the fact they have Lorem Ipsum text on their homepage isn't encouraging
mircea_popescu: taub it won't be
MJR_: i don't care about the $265, so it actually really doesn't matter what price i pay
MJR_: if anything, i think this is someone very bullish, who just didn't want to pay full price
MJR_: gesell: i wasn't watching them, but absolutely nothing changed since yesterday and today
mircea_popescu: Apr 03 14:11:25 <mircea_popescu> it won't happen over 100.
MJR_: ah cuz you didn't get out and get back in? there will be many more crashes in the future
MJR_: i don't care what you give me, just take this NAO
MJR_: isn't socket.io supposed to fail over to other transport mechanisms?
mircea_popescu: i don't imagine he's gonna.
pgp: can't get to bitcoincharts - what do it say?
pgp: that number hasn't changed in over an hour
pgp: can't wait... saturn is a beautiful sight to behold...
Namworld: or bot just goes of when it can't get an average, which is from bitcoincharts which tends to go bust at the same time as MtGox
pgp: i don't think so... wall is falling
Namworld: so people don't take advantage of the huge average/price difference
pgp: avg hasn't changed at all... something is wrong tith that
pgp: 175? i don't see that?
deadweasel: 227, no, i don't think you are. i've been preventing myself from clicking exercise all morning.

ThickAsThieves: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitcoin-T-Shirt-Benjamins-Cant-Buy-This-/170978275197?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item27cf196f7d
bitesak: deadweasel: doesn't seem publi link
Bugpowder: you can't have customer service without customers.
Bugpowder: Because of the Gox team's strong customer data protection methodologies, we aren't allowed to deliver these things directly, they have to go through the Gox process and that's taking longer than any of us want. I will be in Tokyo next week, and should have more updates then.
assbot: !ticker <exchange> <ticker> (desc: returns current ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO) {short: !t}
MJR_: wouldn't be surprised if others like them are a big part of the rally
taub: I didn't know he was promoting bitcoins like this
pgp: they don't disclose how much of a cushion they have to protect against that...
MJR_: not only do they have risk procedures in place to autoliquidate the position if they lose their money, but they also guarantee that if they don't catch them in time, they will make up for it
MJR_: but you don't have to trust the person actually borrowing the money
MJR_: but they can't actually default
punkman: you just don't want to preload them
MJR_: don't ever turn your back on an insane bitcoin market
taub: I refuse to believe mtgox isn't fucking with their engine on purpose now
rikur: nah, I'm a scrooge. If it doesn't promote bitcoins, I'll rather eat canned soup :D
rikur: I can't remember the name of the place, but the there's an italian one I think.
rikur: bowjob: yeah the housing prices here are a joke. I moved in about a year ago, and won't buy until I'm a bitcoin millionaire or there's a correction.
mircea_popescu: (and for all we know mtgox doesn't even have that cash ready)
mircea_popescu: isn't it down/slow/whatever most fo the time ?
thestringpuller: Don't hold spend
deadweasel: 85mph on a couple of our highways. i don't stand a chance.
deadweasel: i'm from texas, i don't speak right.

mircea_popescu: you know that cristal stuff isn't all that grand.
Lyspooner: the owner of the company that produces cristal said something bad about black people, like, "i wish they wouldn't be drinking my champagne"
Lyspooner: and i don't see why a cryptoanarchist can't enjoy champagne
mod6: The ToS says I can't run a miner, which makes sense. Wallet hosting is ok though?
Namworld: Shouldn't be for much longer tho
Namworld: BitVPS didn't end =/
Namworld: So doesn't change much
mircea_popescu: lol Lyspooner didn't know you were a fan
MJR_: i think people are basically saying that the market is super biased in one direction...it doesn't take a lot of skill to guess up
mircea_popescu: well ok, but we can't all be boys.
OgNasty: because i wouldn't i guess.
Bugpowder: and don't want to see you hurt
mircea_popescu: why shouldn't option gholders make bank if they;re right ?
mircea_popescu: i don't understand why people are so aggressed at the notion speculators made money.
Bugpowder: mircea_popescu: couldn't you adjust the algorithm to take your exposure into account, raising the cost of calls if you are short tons of calls... seems like a possible way of increasing your value extraction and biasing the pricing to encourage a reduction of your own exposure, while still market making
mircea_popescu: if there's not a lot of exposure i don't really care either way
mircea_popescu: if i carry a lot (a lot!) of sold calls on the book and price goes up then i can hurt. if it doesn't then mpex makes bank
OgNasty: yes. i didn't think you were passive.
Lyspooner: i don't know, i'm trying to get julian assange sprung so we can go there together
mircea_popescu: i don't go for this famous angle so much
mircea_popescu: i don't like the beach
bgupta: well doesn't difficulty adjust to the numer of nodes?
ll: !t m s.dice
mircea_popescu: "mpex is too expensive ergo it doesn't exist. the rich people there do billionty dollars, but it never happened because they don't take my fiddy bux"
TomServo: don't be jealous of the 'bitcoin opportunity fund' :P
InstantBTC: I don't think tf2 hats have a strong enough influence on... any economy to make anything worth 1 million lol
taub: I don't see the adoption yet
Namworld: maybe but... I don't think that's the case
deadweasel: if it ain't broke...
deadweasel: don't, i will hold minus 5% profit leak at intervals
unbalanced_: Listen, I don't want to alarm anyone, but I think we may be heading towards bubble territory soon. Just sayin'.
jcpham: little guys can't even play with the big kids in the pool
jcpham: i'll be priced out soon if i don't keep up
jcpham: i wouldn't have payed 188 yesterday if i thought we'd see it again
