smickles: mircea_popescu: is the volume on options
down recently?
mircea_popescu: darkee 20 is significant. some people never received anything but we put it
down to rounding (which yes, is a horrible practice but what can you say)
Doffx: I find her information useful at the same time she needs to tone it
down.
Doffx: I told you dummies it was a scam is not very educating, " I told you so " In general usually just puts people off and shuts them
down completely.
mircea_popescu: this is like saying a college turning
down applicants "loses"
EskimoBob: "33:56 thestringpuller | EskimoBob: lets take
down Usagi rough shim up." - funny :) I think usagi is taking himself
down at the moment. Maybe this is his exit "strategy" and he is going to announce how he feels insulted and leaves for good. A girlish exit lol
noagendamarket: imagine if you burnt your workplace
down and asked the boss for your wages still lol
Azelphur: I imagine it's not too much of an alternative now, as soon as GLBSE puts out the info it's shutting
down anyway
Azelphur: although he says that in order to pay out in october he needs people to mine, and his pool has been
down for nearly 24h now
smickles: Diablo-D3: usagi told me that he had the btc AFTER glbse went
down smickles: thestringpuller: i think it was glbse going
down that did 'em in
thestringpuller: like for instance someone having all their money under a mattress and the house burns
down...
mircea_popescu: no actually, if you actually hanker
down and count heads, the scammers aren't a majority. they just seem like it cause they get more press.
Diablo-D3: noagendamarket: or "dmc will be shut
down, diablo will go to bitcoin prison, and we'll get
down to the truth"
smickles: ah, well, also, usagi claimed to have the funds to pay on this contract even after glbse went
down Diablo-D3: EskimoBob: dmc is shutting
down still
thestringpuller: it's an inevitability of an assets exchange shutting
down improperly
BTC-Mining: Yeah, but it basically means every time bitcoins value go
down by a lot, MPEx has to pay for it because the escrow is not USD
BTC-Mining: Aye... but now let's assume the opposite in the extreme. Price goes
down to 0.01 USD... The calls are worth nothing so are not exercised. So you get back 100 BTC. However... Puts are worth 1199 BTC and are exercised, so you need 119900 BTC to pay out with 100 BTC only in collateral.
mircea_popescu: it rounds issuance
down, so you could end up with 0 puts if the strike is high
mircea_popescu: you make 5k atm calls/puts, you sell the calls, keep the puts. if price goes
down in fact you make a decent profit
mircea_popescu: well, yes, it practically boils
down to, a little overescrow.
BTC-Mining: But if I don't sell like I want, if price goes up/
down, no loss
mircea_popescu: and at the end of the month he gets something, 0.0x or more possibly if the price goes
down BTC-Mining: I'll report when I get paid mine, I rounded it
down to the bitcent
smickles: couoon was confusing the fuck out of my 2 beer
down mind
knotwork: damn all that ASIC money still be dumped by the ASIC folk to buy fiat to build thier ASICS holding price
down maybe?
gigavps: glbse has let
down their entire userbase with yet another knee jerk reaction
gigavps: glbse has pretty much ruined any entire market, it's kind of hard to understand the effect of just shutting
down their service without any notice
Chaang-Noi: lol 30 btc to get an account? you know i turned you
down when it was free
copumpkin: cash boils
down to whether you can prove that you gave the money to the person
Chaang-Noi: fed shut
down already closed exchange...
Chaang-Noi: also i wonder what the SEC will do now that glbse closed
down copumpkin: I dunno, all I know is that for a while he had a form up and then he took it
down Doffx: Not like he has glbse
down, seems silly.
Ukto: iwhen i saw glbse went
down Ukto: and said "hey guys, i am shutting
down for legal reasons. and working on a plan"
Ukto: if it was govt intervention, the site would just go
down Ukto: he could lock
down btc withdraw
Ukto: i jsut figured that a sale, would be aimed
down Ukto: so it takes 2 sell's work to declare a
down?
Ukto: in a system.. if last trade was a buy at say.. 1.5... and there is a sell at 1.75 that goes through, even though the price is higher than the last trade, woudl you mark that as an up or
down for last trade?
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I'm curious, has MPEX traffic increased since glbse went
down? if so by how much? :p
Diablo-D3: at least he could have waited until I was done shutting DMC
down before he paniced
rdponticelli: Publish that on the forum, and somebody is selling it all the way
down...
mircea_popescu: Get ready for it kids, bitcoin is going
down the path of specialized criminal enterprise so fast it outstrips belief. The next big disaster is already out there- BFL's and the massive pre-order, that will end up getting the royal shaft in about 30 days
DeaDTerra1: How about giving the whole forum a scammer tag :) We might as well with all the accusations coming
down copumpkin: perhaps it's shutting
down cause he got sued over that
Chaang-Noi: i agree pigeons but i expect things will slow
down. iv already been told i cant accept the code system glbse gave me
pigeons: nice, look, the whole situation sucks, he's closing
down so your accounts will be closed. let's just hope for the best that everyone gets their coins back and an accounting of who owns what
mircea_popescu: (also, there's an old ww2 air raid alarm that sounds if the site goes
down)
grubles: mircea_popescu, looks like mpex is
down pigeons: if you are shutting
down, you get out as fast as you can, let everyone have their stuff back. if you require new id to give back someone's stuff, you either are going to give that info to somebody, or you think you may need to bargain giving that info to somebody in the future
Chaang-Noi: if the sec came
down on him, no way would they let him still operate
pigeons: there is a site you can see the management of the gpus and fpgas and what pools they are at and temps and hashes, but hehehe yes
down atm
mod6: .. i gotta head
down there soon and visit
rdponticelli: Well, with glbse
down, you're safe from the turds, at least
Azelphur: inb4 mircea shuts
down mpex and requests personal info for withdrawals
cryptorific: mircea_popescu: i'm not saying glbse or mpex should be shut
down, i just think from a legal perspective that they have a serious legal liability, mpex less so because its based out of a less friendly jurisidiction but if i were you I'd be getting any politician i can to here my case for official sanction
Bugpowder: Cause I'm not selling it
down to 117500
PsychoticBoy: yes thats true, but how long will it take to be paid now glbse is
down noagendamarket: meh if he shuts
down glbse before an audit happ[ens no harm no foul lol
____Atlas_____: It will probably do well until its server gets knocked
down ____Atlas_____: I mean, if a good portion believes it will go
down because of this
BTC-Mining: GLBSE is not just
down, it's closing definitly
Eisenhower34: So just that GLBSE is
down or have there been updates about that "singularity" ....
mircea_popescu: he then will be making more by closing
down glbse than he ever made running it.
BTC-Mining: What's the problem femtotube, other than GLBSE is closing
down?
____Atlas_____: I am just finding it hard to be empathic towards someone who closed
down a mutually owned company without clear consent
____Atlas_____: I keep having these dreams of being on elevators that go side-to-side, up and
down in these large futuristic office complexes
sgornick: Of all the security breaches that have happened, wouldn't now be the right time for GLBSE's DB to be leaked so that issuers can wind
down properly?
boonies4u: some shit will go
down, because people are going to do stupid shit in december
boonies4u: so has anyone vanished since glbse went
down?
boonies4u: i'm surprised my loan to invest in mining ops and hardware actually was fulfilled, even after I announced that I would be delaying its activation due to glbse going
down mircea_popescu: make glbse go
down in history for what it was : a huge selftrade platform.
Azelphur: yea, he needs that information in order to legally shut
down pigeons: he's shutting
down, what does he need your ids for
teek: copumpkin: at how it is actually going
down.. yeah i guess i am
