mircea_popescu: nah i've not looked outdoors yet.
mircea_popescu: his choice to say something retarded i HIS
ThickAsThieves: i dont think he believes what he is saying
mircea_popescu: he imagines that "as long as i got my coffee and can yell to the wifey for sandwiches the kids don;t know where in the house i am to come asking for money" ?
mircea_popescu: but i mean what the fuck is with these people, it's quite plain to explain that talking to a satellite is like yelling really really loudly.
mircea_popescu: but if he reaches the satellite i know where he is
ThickAsThieves: exactly where I am as long as we have solar power and we can reach the satellite."
ThickAsThieves: Former Minnesota governor and pro wrestler Jesse Ventura is currently on the press circuit around the launch of his talk show Off the Grid, but only from an undisclosed location in Mexico, safe from the prying camera-eyes of drones. "I'm off the grid," he said in an interview with CNBC yesterday. "I move about with my TV show so that the drones can't find me, and that you won't know
mircea_popescu: whoa. so i go to call up benkay who ofcourse isn't on, and i hit on bettyclamp ? who are ye!
Duffer1: i'm curious how they delivered the malware
Duffer1: i'm surprised how easy it was to rhyme Popescu
ThickAsThieves: Duffer1 I like the haikus
punkman1: I don't think it works in the UK, not sure
ThickAsThieves: i accidentally went to pandora via a EU VPN and was like uhhh wtf

deadweas1l: taht's what I thought.
truffles: not much, i did miss my fav opp :D
ThickAsThieves: i only pay some attention to him because of his devotion and that sometimes cooler people spend time with him
Duffer1: i don't know if i know enough to discount his seemingly algorithmic financial-word-salad spam
Duffer1: why am i following his twitter
ThickAsThieves: i know this might sound bad, but is there any good research on using ignorant crowds as indicators?
ThickAsThieves: and now i'm officially done with Bitcoin Magazine
kakobrekla: anyway i go. later
herbijudlestoids: like i said, i write way more models than i need, store them if they make ~$10,000 from $10,000 in ~10y and discard if not
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: always the long answer, even though i dont know which question youre referring to :D
herbijudlestoids: i hear the US AG was in sweden today, think there is some trouble brewing over the assange case
herbijudlestoids: i thought you meant a mac :P
herbijudlestoids: or is a G5 some kind of expensive thing i dunno about
herbijudlestoids: trust me i am very sure about my tax treatment lol
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: no not unsure, i guess i thought it was an obvoius question
herbijudlestoids: because i have to explain to the tax office where the money in my account is coming from? and if i just say "selling bitcoins" then i have to pay 50% capital gains tax?
herbijudlestoids: which i need to do, so i can rebalance various investments etc
herbijudlestoids: btc denomination i dont think will help me unless i plan on never repatriating any profits
herbijudlestoids: i hire an accountant to do the legwork :P
herbijudlestoids: basically, depending on my gross income in a given year i can have my tax treated differently...trading certain positions allows me to claim them as hedges against other positions in other markets...much better tax treatment, better overall annual return
herbijudlestoids: i guess im interested to see what he has to say, the mean reversion model i actually implement is not *too* far off that ;)
herbijudlestoids: anyway, i got some more around, lemme know if you want them.
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: i should clarify. these models are not for intraday use, they trade on an EOD basis
herbijudlestoids: i also got a follow through model somewhere, built originally for GBPUSD...called (no surprise) deconfidence, cant find it right now
kakobrekla: after a year of simplicifying i ended up with 5k+ lines of code in 3 seperate processes
kakobrekla: i love simplicity
herbijudlestoids: i have a better version which uses a couple of simple regime filters somewhere, that allos the same model to work on all the major pairs...lemme see if i can find it
herbijudlestoids: here ya go, i wrote this mean reversion model for EURUSD in R and as well an MQL4 copy, i noticed you support MT4 as the platform so this one is probly easier
herbijudlestoids: well i build more models than i need, and only have so much capital, plus some are more tax constraining than others
herbijudlestoids: i will even share them for free
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: i got a bunch of models for FX that i cant use, want em? :D
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: in europe i like dukascopy and have an account there, but rarely use it anymore since pepperstone came to australia.
kakobrekla: i would never use :100
herbijudlestoids: well, i guess all i can say is i hope you never experience a 1% adverse move when youve got a 100:1 open trade :)
herbijudlestoids: i have even had limits in EURUSD gapped during news
herbijudlestoids: i have experienced it trading USDJPY during the may 6 2010 flash crash
kakobrekla: anyway, i never had a case in 2 years where what you describe would be a problem
kakobrekla: i can just punch someone in the fae
herbijudlestoids: i bet they pool the accounts too
herbijudlestoids: dude. FX trader talking here. i have been in the *real* market on leverage when the liquidity evaporated, on numerous times.
herbijudlestoids: am i funny because you think im wrong? pls lemme know how your strategy goes on nonlinear event days :)
kakobrekla: i kept my exposure to btc while operating on fx market
herbijudlestoids: err exactly, profitability depends on trading skills, ergo, i have nothing to ask people who opened an account with 100btc in 2012
herbijudlestoids: look, i dont want to come off as negative nelly on your pet project
herbijudlestoids: i am not sure how that liability is inherently more profitable than the underlying asset
herbijudlestoids: i understand that, but when they open the account with you all they are doing is changing their ownership of 100btc into ownining a liability from you to return 100btc
herbijudlestoids: well then i am even less sure why i might use this lol
herbijudlestoids: i will preface it and say its just my opinion, but serious traders only like to trade their money in real markets
herbijudlestoids: i know FX traders. i am one.
kakobrekla: but i can see how that might appear on first look
herbijudlestoids: so i can pretty much guarantee youre running an unhedged book then?
herbijudlestoids: i pay 7USD per 100,000USD lot
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: yep i have access to the two largest interbank ECN :)
herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform: earlier when you were mentioning homomorphic turds, i thought of this but couldnt remember the name: http://www.technologyreview.com/news/523746/honey-encryption-will-bamboozle-attackers-with-fake-secrets/
herbijudlestoids: if you like, from now on i can upload the pictures to freenet and you can fetch them from there
herbijudlestoids: but no, not NSA, doubt i would pass a background check :P
herbijudlestoids: cos i wouldnve never heard about this joint otherwise
kakobrekla: i fink herbijudlestoids is nsa
kakobrekla: no but really, the "how do i invest in mp" is not a valid question
Mats_cd03: so what do i do on coinbr to invest in mp
Mats_cd03: So if I'm to understand, shareholders of mpex are about to get a bigger than expected dividend
DrSteveBrule: yea, that should be taught in schools and in church. I believe there is a quote in the bible about options...
DrSteveBrule: for example, i see 1000 @ 0.487 = 487 BTC with a stike at 500 / doesn't that mean they bought 1000 contracts at 0.487BTC?
DrSteveBrule: for that specific type of contract (with end of feb expiration and strike around $400-$500) but that website is hard to understand, so I may be wrong. Coming in here to see if other see the same
DrSteveBrule: flins, i believe you are looking at the price of the option contract
DrSteveBrule: that was new news to me today, so correct me if I'm wrong. But thats quite the gamble
DrSteveBrule: I just came here to see if anyone felt the same?
DrSteveBrule: My apologies, I don't want to sound like one of those crazy people who just wants to come in a speak bullshit. My reasons for my current short position are 1) Elliot wave principle 2) I don't think the Chinese gov likes bitcoin 3) 4 million dollars worth of option puts bought on http://mpex.co/
benkay: i see.
DrSteveBrule: in other words I'm shorting all the coins
DrSteveBrule: hello. I grabbed a lifeboat and we have not even hit the iceberg yet. Anyone else in the lifeboat with me? I have a 10 bag and a bluetooth speaker playing a bob marley mix
ThickAsThieves: i cannot
ThickAsThieves: but sometimes i can behave
ThickAsThieves: i'm allowed to direct you to the post actually
Vexual: im in a loop thinking of numbers i don't understand, but there are external govt regulators vitoing bullshit on wall street no?
herbijudlestoids: (on NYSE i mean)
mircea_popescu: "i want fries with that!11"
herbijudlestoids: uhoh i think my analogy has gone too far
dudesir: So does being a member enable you to vote on what stocks get allowed? I think I have much research to do on how the NYSE operates...
Namworld: I found this, looks like about 4 million in 2005
dudesir: Ok, I think I understand, NYSE is like an underlying exchange and brokers are on top of it?
chipug: i could live off that for life!
