Namworld: I own BitcoinPride tho
herbijudlestoids: its not zh content, repaste from FT, i used the zh link cos most people dont have a FT account
mircea_popescu: i;ll take your word for it.
Namworld_AFK: No, I don't. I worked at BitVPS for a while tho
Chaaang-Noi: its like bitpay, i assumed an alt at first as well
herbijudlestoids: i had never heard of it, but in the last few days iv seen articles about them landing some high profile sounding clients
Chaaang-Noi: i like bitpay but im glad there are other options
Chaaang-Noi: i assume gocoin is an alt... if so kill it with fire
benkay: maybe i better dig into the satoshi emails or something.
mike_c: sry herb, yes. i am saying rho=0
herbijudlestoids: i doubt
herbijudlestoids: nubbins`: one last point is that you can build positions that are much more dependent on IV than price, for example if i buy a call and buy a put for the same strike and expiry
herbijudlestoids: i actually got a kickass long vol model for NYSE index ETFs, probly wouldnt work on MPex
nubbins`: herbijudlestoids, that clarifies things a bit, but i think what i really need is to visit the library
nubbins`: and to answer your question, no, i don't have an account at gox
sypher_: there's a kinda bad news I'm reading on the troll box
herbijudlestoids: i own 0.02BTC
herbijudlestoids: i.e. shorting a $2000 call has the same/similar payoff profile (at settlement) to long $2000 put
herbijudlestoids: like i said, depends how far ITM/OTM
nubbins`: i'm a tall man :D
sypher_: nubbins`, think about how i feel; knowing that you're a whole 2 legs over my head. :-)
herbijudlestoids: am i making sense?
herbijudlestoids: the trade is a bet on IV being high and leveling off or going down, and that they wont get exercised (i.e. the price wont go below 500)
dexX7: soo.. if i understand correctly, when the price goes up, this guy wins, right?
herbijudlestoids: no i think youre correct, but i dont know anything about it specifically
nubbins`: although i'm barely at the level of understanding what i just said
herbijudlestoids: i doubt its possible to know
sypher_: herbijudlestoids, thanks for the explanation, I'm trying to get my head around it
nubbins`: sorry for the stupid question, but i'm exceptionally thick with this sort of thing
herbijudlestoids: i dun know if MPEX supports naked short the contracts, looks like they only allow you to do what they call a SPLIT order, otherwise known as an options spread, so you short the 722 puts and long some distant strike call, like 1000 calls.
sypher_: you're way over my understanding grade. I'm at the 'buy low; sell high' phase; which i could translate in 'i'm an idiot'. :-)
sypher_: nothing, just excited to see the troll box on BTCe with all the boys shouting ... i just wanna buy back in when its gonna stop fallin; exited at a loss some time ago.
sypher_: uff, when's it gonna stop falling ... i wanna go to sleep! ... >_>
herbijudlestoids: hmmm, i havent etched a board since i was in high school
nubbins`: hm, i'm obviously not up to speed
nubbins`: i don't have a laser
sypher_: and I'm back in fiat.
herbijudlestoids: i guess i get what youre saying, that having the wallet files stored in multiple locations securely is probly as good as a cold storage device itself
sypher_: i also dig the usb - bit coin enabled key on almost human tv series :-)
punkman1: herbijudlestoids: I think it's a solution looking for a problem
sypher_: but i do like the idea of metal coins; if only, as 'ego' items ...
herbijudlestoids: punkman1: well lets say i put 1,000 BTC into a USB key and encrypt it securely etc and then my house burns down
punkman1: I don't see the advantage
herbijudlestoids: i think its interesting because its a necessary dimension for all who might want to save bitcoins securely for a long duration
herbijudlestoids: not so much physical coins as metal (i.e. fireproof) cold storage
herbijudlestoids: i dont
herbijudlestoids: i feel like the space left by http://casascius.com/ and coldcoins is an interesting space
sypher_: ;) i meant on the one that you would concentrate ;)
herbijudlestoids: i did include btce sorry, there was a typo
sypher_: i mean, why only bitfinex and bistamp, not btce?
herbijudlestoids: so i would just discard mtgox and icbit for analysis, concentrate on the liquidity of the spread for bitfinex and bitstamp
herbijudlestoids: like i said, you can verify quantitatively by analysis of the bdi/ask spread
herbijudlestoids: its not out of etiquette, i dunno for sure so im not gonna name a name
nubbins`: i kid
sypher_: glad i don't have them then :-) just bought in at 162 on btce, now I'm in almost panic selling mode. :D
herbijudlestoids: err no, i meant opinions on the withdrawal transactoins...nevermind
sypher_: I'm thinking that big ones are playing to make it go down so they can buy in cheaper, having it rebound later
sypher_: herbijudlestoids, i'm just a noob so i may have completely wrong thoughts.
ThickAsThieves: Wozniak To Apple: Aren't You Glad I'm Not Your Boss?
ThickAsThieves: i'm a newb
ThickAsThieves: someone plz confirm i github'd that right
pankkake: I guess I should still be able to find blocks solo
ThickAsThieves: well as things form i may hit you up for costing
benkay: eh i wouldn't worry about competition. instead, focus on landing clients, making them happy and taking their money.
ThickAsThieves: it's been a while since i looked into possible competition though
ThickAsThieves: benkay i was considering a business path of: 1. Implement and use it with this school, work out bugs, add anything obviously needed 2. Approach several clients in other training fields (Hazardous Goods Shipping for example) and offer hosted solutions, making the software cater to more industries 3. Convert to SaaS DIY Training Lesson Builder
ThickAsThieves: and I had bigger plans for it, so it needs ongoing work
pankkake: I used to be in a php shop, but we did pass twice on a project that was simply… impossible to comprehend
dub: I heard tux might be in the market
ThickAsThieves: i'm pretty far removed from it now
benkay: i've played with plenty.
mike_c: i upgraded to 1.6 recently without many bumps. but i think i went from 1.4, so less risk
benkay: there was enough risk in this project that 1.6 made me uncomfortable and i stopped the upgrade at the release that bought us the features we needed.
Duffer1: it's a great looking sight though, i love the homepage
benkay: oh yeah, did i mention the stack automation and rearchitecture?
benkay: 1.4 was necessary for some particular features, i forget what precisely. chose to not go all the way to 1.6 to mitigate risk.
ThickAsThieves: i wouldnt even feel scammed if i sent them money
ThickAsThieves: well i'm vegan at least
benkay: in case your curious what kind of work i do, client number one just cut over and emerged from embargo
pankkake: some of the magic changed values I guessed were already changed, including the one I couldn't figure out
ThickAsThieves: i jate being right
pankkake: I saw it, I'm working
Rick_: I emailed him yesterday,no reply yet
Rick_: i used query,but he seems not there
Rick_: but i cant reach him now
Rick_: i withdrawed some btc
dub: its coz I stopped using twitter
ThickAsThieves: just when i started using it!
nubbins`: i like my coffee the way i like my women!
nubbins`: the trick with these "the way i like my women" jokes is to fool people into assuming the wrong thing
nubbins`: and i say "no, white"
nubbins`: so i announce "i like my women the way i like my eggs!!"
Namworld: Okay... I was expecting them to have long gone under.
pankkake: well, that won't really help me, as I only tried the genesis block change and other magic values, no renaming etc. before I was sure it worked
ThickAsThieves: [16:07] <BlueMatt> but, I dont have a way to readily do that
chipug: i love the banana
ThickAsThieves: I swear it wasn't me!
chipug: TomServo: no i think this just popped up today in response to maxcoin
TomServo: chipug: Oh, hadn't seen that. I thought you meant Max's actual coin.
TomServo: I know, it's crazy.
