pankkake: while I don't believe btctctc faked volumes
pankkake: I hate dealing with small monies, I usually leave the change - I don't mind paying "more"
kakobrekla: >I just uncovered a problem. I'm using the API to trade. I'm generating orders, and they are accepted by Bitfinex, but thats the extent of it. I have an orderid, time stamp, and the response says the trade is active. They don't get processed, and the history doesn't get updated. I've sent an email to support, but was just wondering if anyone else has seen anything strange like this. Seems to have start after 4:30 this afternoon. Th

mircea_popescu: o wait, i guess i didn't miss anything. "If you don't pay me now, tomorrow price will increase to 0.5 BTC."
mike_c: http://porcfest.com/ hmm, i don't think this is what you're talking about.
danielpbarron: i don't think i'll go to any future porcfests; i kinda regret buying the ticket for this one but i might as well use it at this point
danielpbarron: I don't expect that to arrive before I leave
decimation: the thing I don't understand ascii is that it's clear that russia has the brainpower to make alternatives
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't quite see it. so far, they got 50 bn or so, not paying it back
decimation: mircea, I suspect the sayings of don colacho would be an excellent way to brush up on spanish: http://don-colacho.blogspot.com/
BingoBoingo: If I get this bezzel job I don't plan to pay more than $300.month to rent
asciilifeform: i don't know him well. if you want to dispute his info, wake him up (he does - did? lurk here)
moiety: i watched this program called "What Happens in Kavos" and it was all people like that. broken legs, ribs, noses but so wasted they either don't notice or don't feel it enough to do anything about it

mircea_popescu: no matter how ridiculous counting fiddy hundred dollar bills may look to the sort of people i don't fuck anyway
mircea_popescu: fluffypony " Given how reliant this company is on paying backend costs in fiat" I don't follow this part.
pankkake: I don't mean made by MP
moiety: i don't understand how anyone could have found it confusing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform << i don't see it. columbia.
adrrr: When I see that I just don't wanna bet
adrrr: lol I don't understand you, can we say better odds?
mike_c: jurov: for the record, my retarded comment was about buying the coins to sell, not your theory :) but i agree with mp that I don't think the bitstamp price will have much to do with the auction price.
jurov: mike_c i don't understand the sentiment, either... rather suspect someone hopes to win the auction and is tryng to dump the price
mircea_popescu: but then what's that scrape when blackberry wouldn't give its keys to some foreign, i don't recall, russia was it ?
decimation: mats: heh yeah you are right. I think he was trying to convey several points: 1.) half measures don't work - shoot down the third world shuttles when they invade 2.) democracy turns to decadence - too weak to hold the allodial rights to a domain
peterl: I don't think I meant to?
BingoBoingo: Whiteboards just don't work, and having been drinking since about... 1PM mircea_popescu time... I supposed aspects of bingo University.
BingoBoingo: moiety: I like absinthe, but on ice. None of that sugar cube stuff. Don't want to become another Diabeetus 'Murican.
BingoBoingo: I don't have resources to interfere with random blogs much less pools. Pool politics is getting rather Nasty. Reminds me of that place upstate named after it's stench.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: I still don't think 14 Billion by Bastille day is happening. << dunno man. some crazy hash added past coupla days
bitcoinpete: i basically don't drive in the summer… all 4 months of it here
BingoBoingo: Eh, I don't judge my road experiences on what I'm driving, but on the WTF shit I encounter.
BingoBoingo: I kind of want some Klye JustDice porn fic, but I don't want it enought to throw away more than a Bitcent on it.

nubbins`: i don't have any tinfoil bitches
BingoBoingo: I still don't think 14 Billion by Bastille day is happening.
mircea_popescu: which reminds me of the recent cheese wars lol. i dunno who missed the "oh yurp, you don't want our gmo crops ?! we won't want your messy cheeses then!!11"
punkman: mircea_popescu: I don't hate it per se, but I'd rather avoid that learning curve for now
mircea_popescu: yes, at which point i prolly observed that it's a technologee current bitcoin miners don't got.
bitcoinpete: i don't think it's too late
davout: i don't think i have :-)
davout: i don't know about other countries, but the law in france has this mechanism where whenever you need clarification on the law from the taxes administration, you can ask them to make a binding answer
thestringpuller: for some reason I don't think you're kidding :D
KRS1: thank anyway danielpbarron, apparently I'm not "elite" enough for this channel..and i don't want to waste any more of kakobrekla's precious fucking time.
asciilifeform: 'Stop sending people to kill me. We've already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle. If you don't stop sending killers, I'll send one to Moscow, and I won't have to send a second.'
moiety: nsa thanks you asciilifeform but they get bored of cats....i don't however, just so you know
moiety: asciilifeform: re cats digging, there is a UK comedian (Eddie Izzard) who says cats are drilling (purring) and digging when they are behind the sofa lol in actuality, i think people can confuse digging for taking care of their claws. re covering their mess, incidentally they don't do this when they want to show who is boss in a household.
mircea_popescu: well, it's definitely the blockchain-friendliest approach, seeing as only a hash is stored in the first place. moreover, i don't see how nonspendable tx helps anything other than pruning
Mats_cd03: asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo: while I weld the server shut to drop off at the colo << if you don't already own one, a very usable spot-welder can be made from the ubiquitous 1F+ capacitors sold for use with automotive 'boom-booms.' << 'dis spark plugs?
asciilifeform: (how i know? they don't always remember to... take them off.)
asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo: while I weld the server shut to drop off at the colo << if you don't already own one, a very usable spot-welder can be made from the ubiquitous 1F+ capacitors sold for use with automotive 'boom-booms.'
mdev: bitcoin trusts no ones date, they don't use dates they use difficulty I think
mike_c: i don't think there is, but thought i'd ask to make sure i wasn't missing some clever trick.
mircea_popescu: "Joe: No way, no way. Tried it once, doesn't work. You got four guys all fighting over who's gonna be Mr. Black, but they don't know each other, so nobody wants to back down. No way. I pick. You're Mr. Pink. Be thankful you're not Mr. Yellow."
mircea_popescu: the truth of the matter is that i don't have an actual personality, i just do the opposite of what y'all are doing.
pankkake: I don't trust him, and I backup the otc db :)
pankkake: so I don't understand "not yet amortised"
mircea_popescu: pankkake: this is probably the first example of the wot for +v selection failing << honestly i don't think so.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell thebutterzone suppose you clear asciilifeform and that way i don't have to neg you too.
mircea_popescu: so i bought 1/4 kg of prosciutto from this woman that i don't think has ever sold more than 18 grams at a time
danielpbarron: TBZ is like "nope i don't see it in -otc so it must not have happened"
Apocalyptic: i don't think kako's trolling
mthreat: mircea_popescu: i don't know, haven't printed anything like biz cards yet here
nubbins`: but if i don't hop on the train, i'll never travel
fluffypony: no I don't mean from there perspective
mircea_popescu: and the forumtards respond : ""If I didn't do it I would say that I didn't do it. You wrote a very long post and not one time did you say that you did not do it. To me, that says a lot! Don't bother now, it's too late.
Vexual: i don't know slovenia from slovakistan
pankkake: I don't think he understands bitcoin
fluffypony: "don't worry guys, I will use my rock to stop this"
BingoBoingo: unbalanced: I don't have hash...
mircea_popescu: unbalanced i don't actually have any
mike_c: like i said, i don't think this is any kind of life & death thing. it's smoothing out an annoyance.
mircea_popescu: i really don't see th econcern. if anything, slow txn are good for a coin, they keep the people in a hurry at bay
mike_c: i ran the numbers, but I won't tell if you don't want to know :)
unbalanced: The diff is still unfolding so I don't have a final number yet. I haven't wanted to calculate it or I might stop.
mike_c: i don't worry about the coin dying, but +80%/-80% diff changes are annoying.
mike_c: yeah. i don't know if it's the right thing to do, but I do think it's worth trying.
unbalanced: Ah. I was going to ask you why they print on that orange-pink paper. Don't dodge the question!
unbalanced: Don't I need 2 hit points? Or just the one?
unbalanced: Or if one of these sent me to Seahorse months ago I don't see it now.
mircea_popescu: i don't see why anything more is needed or desirable than the latter.
unbalanced: I don't like to assume anything when it comes to crypto.
unbalanced: I don't have a lot of hardware is why... at the time I was on a Windows machine using a Linux VM. Now I'm pure. Linux.
mircea_popescu: justusranvier "Using the global public ledger that allows for multilateral decision making means that retaining financial privacy is, to put it lightly, problematic. It’s possible to achieve, but doing so is a difficult and delicate process where mistakes are easy to make and also permanent." i don't understand this part, at all.
mircea_popescu: i don't believe this crap is aptly described as optimism.
kakobrekla: USD when comparing it over time. The performance we've had is astounding, and just because it lags behind the performance of Bitcoin should not take away from that. We've still managed to outperform more than 99% of the other things you could have spent your BTC on. Silver for example was $28.50 on our IPO date and is $19.50 now, yet I don't see you trolling silver dealers on here.
bloctoc: I don't wish to be pedantic, but the donner party did not just die, they ate each other.
mircea_popescu: i don't even recall, did they publish their total processed / gross fees for q1 ? 2013 ? anything ?
mircea_popescu: i'm not incentivised to sell it too low, i don't need the liquidity.
TheNewDeal: I've not talked about Bitfinex since this isn't a sales pitch for them. I've not talked about how they offer leveraged margin trade as well as normal exchange. Nor have I talked about the p2p lending platform where people who don't want to trade can earn swap interest on USD or BTC balance. I've also not mentioned the 5 order types they have: limit
fluffypony: when that comes up he says he's not writing a web wallet and "you don't even KNOW the stuff I'm writing that's so amazing it'll make the queen's testicles fall off"
