t understand why you use gpg'

t know how you would do that
mircea_popescu: mjr_ the problem with hfts isn'
t that they're fast. it's that they retroactively change time.
mjr_: just curious, because most big markets and banks do that...so i don'
t know how phishing can interfere in those cases, obviously customer on online banking website is vulnerable
jurov: i don'
t think mpex will be able to afford laying fiber even to biggest customers in near future
mjr_: i mean, the endpoints are fixed, and don'
t most banks rely on them, in colocations and carrier hotels?
mjr_: that makes sense then that i didn'
t understand it...i have to deal with databases a lot and they can be a pain
jurov: maybe, i don'
t remember, but only this one was found.
jurov: that bet isn'
t closed
assbot: I don'
t know those people, and they don'
t look very friendly.
mjr_: but i don'
t think that means it won'
t succeed
mircea_popescu: this is a valid criticism, it will. as long as they don'
t want this to happen, bitcoin is and will remain a bad thing.
mjr_: it is very insular, and they probably won'
t look at any data that disagrees with their preconceived notion
mircea_popescu: not really. there's not an objective standard of proof, especially not for people who aren'
t interested in seeing certain result sets.
mjr_: the real world bears out theories or doesn'
t mircea_popescu: in fact, most people who spend a lot of time on forums aren'
t.
mjr_: i don'
t see how they could talk about it at all
mjr_: but i don'
t think they would be able to be as smug at 40....
mjr_: and they objectively didn'
t mjr_: huh? not at war...but when two people disagree, they bet on the outcome, the winner wins...in pure rational economics...which this isn'
t mjr_: and i don'
t really care about sa...
jurov: I won'
t speak for Ukto just I think he'll keep the exchange privately owned atm. me with coinbr likewise.

t owe me any money

t set up a way to facilitate the transfer
pigeons: i will buy 2nd hand asics from the people who borrowed on their credit cards to buy them and underestimated the difficulty rise or don'
t getthem soon enough
bowjob: im on the "BFL won'
t ship before march 1st" crowd..
mircea_popescu: i don'
t see how sdice and asics would be similar investments.
mircea_popescu: the point is that until they delvier batch 1 you can'
t tell whether they do or don'
t deliver at all.
mircea_popescu: What a beautiful twist it would be if the last trading platform that didn'
t collapse or turn into a scam which is run more like an actual real one than a teenage dream out of the basement is run by a woman. Because they mock her, ostracize her and blame her at every turn possibly because they can'
t handle a girl running a service for them.
Namworld: I won'
t browse the whole 300 pages to find whatever post you're talking about =P
mjr_: they weren'
t enough
jurov: can'
t you just put order next door on -otc?

t plan on having money in there overnight is what i was saying
mjr_: but like i said, i don'
t plan on keeping money in there
jborkl: Yeah, I know.. I don'
t see that as expensive
mircea_popescu: BitPay just announced that you can donate to Wikipedia in bitcoins now! Oh, they kinda downplay the one small detail that Wikipedia still doesn'
t actually accept bitcoin. BitPay decided to set up an escrow account where people can give their bitcoins to BitPay and BitPay gives USD to Wikipedia. They did this without Wikipedia's knowledge or consent but they're acting like it's some huge victory. Oh, and they're making
pigeons: mjr_: just look, you can'
t make enough. try it, but quit talking about it
mjr_: but that is what i am saying...since they don'
t have fees to move money, and since you can make money trading, you could take liquidity on another site and offer it out there
mjr_: and over its lifetime i don'
t think it will always move a lot
mjr_: and it hasn'
t moved 20% today
smickles: mircea_popescu: i can'
t seem to remember
mjr_: and i guess they still do, but i haven'
t tried yet
mjr_: i don'
t have shares :( yet
mjr_: i'm not sure about that...i think most people who know linux don'
t mind doing some L33T haxor stuff now and then
mjr_: yeah, i think its always the funniest when people spend their time talking about things they don'
t like/ believe in....like r/atheism
jurov: but it's too big hassle to deal with fiat in realtion to gamblin and securities. i'm glad i don'
t have to
ShaTwo: mircea_popescu: I will… I didn'
t sleep in 40 hours … so I will leave for tomorrow :)
mjr_: especially because i don'
t want to say "trust me, it works"
jurov: but it isn'
t rocket science
mircea_popescu: now re the other thing : i can'
t readily use a hash of the order itself as the only identifier cause the one time there's a collision i'm going to be so fucked there's no telling.
jurov: but as the last digit is fully relevant this isn'
t the way to go
jurov: sure i do... can'
t have users blocking each other :P
mircea_popescu: one second i'll check on trade history too so i don'
t say something stupid
mircea_popescu: something does happen, you just don'
t hear about it till the webserver resyncs
mircea_popescu: the result is new trades not being reported. they DO happen, you just don'
t hear about them.
mircea_popescu: that link can get broken, it shouldn'
t happen to often but it does happen
mircea_popescu: so about webserver desync earlier : mpex uses a (trade server) - (web server) architecture. you can'
t talk to the trade engine directly.
jurov: lol thestringpuller, you weren'
t around here in 1989 . everyone was thinking we are entitled to live as western europe
jurov: don'
t worry we have fun of it
jurov: they didn'
t even admit me to army cause of my deafness
jborkl: I just don'
t want to fuck up, so BUY S.DICE 50000 .0065

t laugh, how do i send a DM
mjr_: but i don'
t have it at the moment
mjr_: you don'
t even have to talk to the SEC for pink sheets
mjr_: cuz they don'
t understand it
mjr_: i'm not saying it isn'
t possible, i'm hjust saying no one is willing to take the risk right now
Bugpowder: I don'
t think it would be hard to raise millions
mjr_: well, if i had goldman sachs doing it, market cap wouldn'
t be a problem
mjr_: i don'
t know what the SEC would make of bitcoins
mjr_: what i am saying is that if i knew lloyd blankfein, i couldn'
t get it to happne
mjr_: but i don'
t think interest has percolated to an institutional level yet
