asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I'm more of an amateur mathematics crackpot than a serious BTC enthusiast. I have ~3 BTC...

MJR_: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FJeff_Berwick&ei=36VdUaL4Cuuo0AHlxICIDA&usg=AFQjCNEW4ScEXrdgn7x9fyMdLbP3WQp5bg&sig2=9IihRHrzALlXc_8Y4Ukstw
MJR_: mircea_popescu: how do these atm's relate to your "magic money machines"?
MJR_: in fact, mircea_popescu had a great article called "the magic money machine"
mircea_popescu: MJR_ chocolate coins!
[\\\]: mircea_popescu, no, thats illegal
smickles: MJR_: yup
MJR_: sorry mircea_popescu, i cut off your arrow
ThickAsThieves: bitcoin_raider, yes
gesell: mircea_popescu: on that last point, i agree
sturles: mircea_popescu: Yes, many trades are mix-trades between e.g. EUR and USD. And most other currency trades are low in volume.
sturles: mircea_popescu: Doesn't look like it. Seems to be USD only. Much of the trading on MtGox is in other currencies.
sturles: MJR_: MtGox reports lag in microseconds as well. I have been logging every minute for a while, and the most common value is 0. On a normal day with just a few standard DDoS attacks, it is above 1 second a few times every hour.
mircea_popescu: MJR_> but I also thought that it was hilarious that they said "All exchanges suffer from lag"...yeah and we measure it in microseconds << just had this discussion above, was explaining how six promises 37 microsecond delay
bitesak: MJR_, yes and MP wrote a post about it http://trilema.com/2013/its-been-an-epic-few-days-what-happened/
sturles: mircea_popescu: You should at leas try to inform yourself about the DDoS against MtGox before coming with uninformed nonsense "for the record".
mpexbot: mircea_popescu: Asks: ['5291 @ 0.00333', '21363 @ 0.00333333', '700 @ 0.0035', '1500 @ 0.00389996', '29541 @ 0.00389997']
mpexbot: mircea_popescu: S.DICE Bids: ['5000 @ 0.00212', '4000 @ 0.002101', '7500 @ 0.00123', '600 @ 0.001002', '100 @ 0.00100121']
sturles: mircea_popescu: What does homebrew has to do with anything?
sturles: mircea_popescu: And my home network is only 6 mbit/s, so I can't follow it during the DDoS sessions. To many order changes.
sturles: mircea_popescu: You have to use the socketIO feed for that.
sturles: mircea_popescu: No.
sturles: mircea_popescu: I have been working in IT for more than 20 years, and homebrew beats commercial products in 9 of 10 cases,.
mircea_popescu: can you show me some documentation somewhere for this part : "MtGox process more than 10 trades a second even during high load. The number of order book changes is _a lot_ higher."
sturles: mircea_popescu: Does mpex really process 2k trades simultaneously for the same asset?
sturles: MtGox process more than 10 trades a second even during high load. The number of order book changes is _a lot_ higher.
sturles: mircea_popescu: At what frequency? How many trades per second?
mpexbot: mircea_popescu: 0.106014966965 seconds
sturles: mircea_popescu: You are comparing apples and oranges.
sturles: mircea_popescu: That was not what I wrote.
sturles: mircea_popescu: You want something else. And you are free to make something completely different from MtGox if you think it will be successfull. I don't.
sturles: mircea_popescu: Revenue != profit.
sturles: mircea_popescu: Those are not for public use. You have to pay $$$$$$$ for a licence to connect.
sturles: mircea_popescu: A good trading platform isn't something you can go out and buy.
sturles: mircea_popescu: Do you know of any better exchanges?
mod6: here's some latenight comedy: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/04/03/obama-will-give-up-portion-of-his-salary/?hpt=hp_t5
mod6: mircea_popescu: it used to be that people didn't go into government service (unless .mil) until they were pretty successful in the private sector. Not any longer, its like people get out of school and they want to go right into government. What gives?
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu ‏@Mircea_Popescu 54s @AdamPosen What are you, like some sort of retard with a high self esteem ?

bgupta: mircea_popescu: Well you gotta admit that the ddos took the wind out any thought of a retry at insane rally today.
bgupta: so apparently anonymous took up mircea_popescu's call to pretect freedom by preventing the rise of bitcoin, but instead of selling btc as their methodology, they are ing using a ddos against mtgox. Hey if it can't trade it can't rise. ;)
Bugpowder: mircea_popescu: do you want to be in a documentary re: bitcoin? Was talking to a super early adopter that has been making a doc for the past 2 years. I think he has more liquid coin than you...

dub: mircea_popescu: they will move if they can never access gox again
bgupta: mircea_popescu: Need account to use API? Hoping not for quotes.

bgupta: mircea_popescu: Modern carriers are massive. have neculear reactors, and a huge contingent of very expensive warplanes
bgupta: mircea_popescu: What is your fear in particular? megacrash?
mircea_popescu: Apr 03 14:11:37 <mircea_popescu> so basicvally... any dollar over 100 anyone pays on a btc is a dollar lost.
