Fun:
I was watching RBK today, chairmain of Russian Commerce Chamber was going on that some russian companies need to refinance tons of mid term debt soon in what
I presume usd :)
I was thinking here that sounds fishy how come they havent hedged FX risk from the start
BingoBoingo kind of really wants kakobrekla to write an "
I told you so" piece on Bitstamp
decimation:
I guess my point is that a promise to deliver a euro tomorrow isn't a spot price
decimation: yeah
I'm trying to find the options on spot (seems it would be easier) but
I am having trouble
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic
i dunno wtf he's doing, im sitting here debugging a lengthy string of nonsense resulted from engineer deciding arbitrarily to selfmanage mid process.
cazalla: thestringpuller, but
i like pretty newsletters
punkman: mircea_popescu: it was DDoS'd/hacked,
I got some PHP hosting as solution for DDoS. Existing version can be backup withing 24 hours if someone wants to administer it/protect from ddos/etc. Nobody wants to do that, so
I haz to write PHP.
Fun:
I am suprised that large russian corporations did not hedge their loans fx risks, or maybe they did :D
decimation: yeah
I'm gonna check out my brokerage and see
Fun: decimation:
I want to buy options direct
punkman: mircea_popescu: problem is

I buy CME globex fx options?
mircea_popescu: and jack shit
i can do about it, too, because notary's dead and so on and so fucking forth.
kakobrekla:
i said self proclaimed - check their frontpage.
kakobrekla:
i thought
i get paid if you include those 6 words, or at least 2, since 4 are the quote.
mircea_popescu: am
i going "this has to be reimplemented for the third time" ?
kakobrekla:
i would add to the article "self proclaimed 'World's leading Bitcoin exchange'"
mircea_popescu: can
i get more detail out of you than "it's being worked on"!
Fun:
I just read the Greek government debt is at 175 percent right now, runs up to €330 billion. And a lot of debt nowadays is ensured in the derivative markets :)
decimation: mircea_popescu: re: knc miner refund << yeah in BTC terms they took about %70 haircut, but
I think they do all their accounting in fiat (they convert bitcoin to fiat upon reception)
PinkPosixPXE: thank you! It was good to chat with you guys again and check in..
I may disappear a bit later when we move my vps because we have to do an offline migration, but
I'll always return, and be around :)
PinkPosixPXE: anywho..
I better get back to helping them with these migrations
PinkPosixPXE:
I want to make sur eI can offer both offshore and us hosting as well
PinkPosixPXE:
I just need to do a little math on 'units of time/energ/projects' and potential independence from my day job at some point so
I have more time
PinkPosixPXE: but that's a great idea, and an offer
I'd definitely be interested in potentially pursuing, and discussing further with you mircea_popescu
PinkPosixPXE: with so many projects,
I have to make sure
I can get everything taken care of
PinkPosixPXE: right now,
I've spent so much time and energy through the holidays helping this provider/friend, and while
I'll probably get an endless supply of vps resources from him at a prorated "nothing" ..
I need to setup a business and direction for the future of my own thing, or at least make money when
I output time/work
PinkPosixPXE: technically,
I can finance it on my own, but
I guess
I'm still in the process of working out the details, and
I guess regardless,
I just need to make sure all the time and work
I put into admining everything is getting me money and setting me up for some independence career wise
PinkPosixPXE: but
I want high end and ddos mitigation, etc. available as well
PinkPosixPXE:
I want 10gbps, but
I can offer low end as well
PinkPosixPXE: you would put the initial investment in the dedi's? teh competitively priced ones might be in the arena of $300-400/mo to rent depending upon how competitive
I want my services to be, and
I will probably be buying something through voxility
mircea_popescu: PinkPosixPXE how about
i buy you some dedis and you admin them and run a host for btc business ?
PinkPosixPXE: glad
I didn't buy when it dropped to 310 last week
PinkPosixPXE:
I might buy at 250.. as long as it keeps trending back up
kakobrekla:
i dont understand y no unique address per order?
PinkPosixPXE: yea, these were some of the things
I was curious about
PinkPosixPXE: yea,
I've noticed it where
I shop using bitcoin quite a bit
PinkPosixPXE: ok, that makes sense.. so basically
I can keep the bitcoin price in flux with what the current price is
PinkPosixPXE: in fact,
I've been buying more as it's gone down
PinkPosixPXE:
I will probably have a recurring tool that converst a portion of it to fiat
PinkPosixPXE: ben_vulpes:
I might need you (or some of you guys) as resources regarding
I ensure
I setup my bitcoin merchanting properly
PinkPosixPXE: yea, after
I wrote the vps migrate script for him today
kakobrekla: see what
i told you, wife material right there.
PinkPosixPXE:
I can see where
I can put together a much better product
PinkPosixPXE: now that
I've helped run, and in some ways rescue this vps provider
PinkPosixPXE:
I will probably eventually buy a dedi that's a bit better than the our new one
PinkPosixPXE:
I have 3 vps' at a very large (Free) discount with this provider
PinkPosixPXE: and this isn't exactly how
I'd setup vps hosting
mircea_popescu: "oh,
i see you're trying to connect to a vps that a) you've not connected before and b) is being attacked ? come back next week."
cazalla: mircea_popescu,
i was first! as they say, some people are so far behind the race that they actually believe they are leading :P
PinkPosixPXE:
I'm going to update it to set a timer to re enable them after a certain period of time and do some updates to it, but it's been keeping things up for the last few weeks
mircea_popescu: cazalla yeah
i see. qntra is so successful
i got lost among the articles :)
PinkPosixPXE: oh man..
I've been helping my friend who runs a VPS provider, gigebox.com, migrate everything to a new host node
mircea_popescu:
i seem to recall a bunch of these, and they're all fucking respectful.
mircea_popescu: decimation: my only problem is that it seems somewhat dangerous << from what
i hear it's actually safer than flying planes.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem: 'plagiarism' may be a 'sin of the flesh', but plagiarists exist just the same as 'wankers' exist. << not what
i meant. what
i meant was the construct's nonsense.
mircea_popescu: the thing where
i put it in a pastedbin dun work, im sick of looking up the url for the deedbot one.
