pankkake: that's not really bothering me.
I wouldn't pay the 30 BTC fee myself, nor do
I desire to hold MPOE
Apocalyptic: "Usually a holding company is an asset-less company" what,
I thought a holding company holds share of other companies, which are classified as assets
diametric: pankkake: this thread is amazing.
i just started reading back through the posts on it.
mike_c:
i better term might be "zero tangible assets company", but that is a mouthful.
mike_c: ah, no,
i didn't make it up
mike_c:
i possibly made up that term as a differentiator from mp's "nonzero asset corporation"
Apocalyptic: mike_c, regarding your BitBet and MPex analysis on btcalpha, you claim these are "zero-asset company".
I don't think this term is appropriate as they hold at the very least intangible assets such as goodwill resulting from their userbase and the reputation among other things
kakobrekla:
i dont want to commit suicide down the lane.
benkay:
i'd hazard that the bitcoin alpha biz req's are a little different from my deploy
KRS1: Pretty much warm year round in Mimai though, and
I'd look funny.
Apocalyptic: <KRS1>
I don't have a title like Duke or anything. // a shame really
KRS1:
I don't have a title like Duke or anything.
KRS1: How do
I answer that? You want my first name? First and last?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the hellmuth guy,
i recall this horrible loss to a romanian player, who had called a re-raise with a low pair or something
mike_c: so you are saying gambling=carpentry and finance=house building. in that case,
i am interested in the carpentry aspect of finance.
Apocalyptic:
i've always included the latter in the former somehow
Apocalyptic: pizzaman1337,
i obviously meant fiat-base finance instruments
mike_c:
i have a serious interest in gambling.
I include finance under that category.
mike_c: mine is probably limited by the fact that
i don't intend to waste time dissecting the scams.
Apocalyptic:
I saw a discussion about it yeah, he wanted to go for a code afaik
pizzaman1337: mircea_popescu:
I used to log/chart mpex prices, but then the spread on options got too high for me, so
I stopped maintaining it
mircea_popescu:
i know (and for that matter house bets don't change much either)
mike_c:
i have the numbers with those bets in as well. not as different as you would think. the sum of btc isn't that high.
mircea_popescu: and since it's impossible to take out later readjustments of the bettor, you can't really take out his original stake either. course
i suppose what exactly you're trying to see
mike_c:
i also ran the numbers bucketing by weight instead of by time, but it gets weird because bets can close early when there is still a high weight.
mike_c:
i didn't want it to throw off the results. what
i wanted to see was whether other people are being attracted to bets early.
mircea_popescu:
i wasn't cause
i have them, but the fact is there's so much counterintuitive if not outright fucking weird shit going on in btc
mike_c:
i was surprised by the results too
mike_c: hm. thanks,
i'll investigate.
jurov: in ff after selecting and unselecting several rows,
i'm getting error in highcharts code
mike_c: one thing
i think it helps with is finding the most profitable strike given an 'expected price'.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
I'll find out in two days, maybe.
mike_c: calculation: is.. strike / (1 + price)
i think for value of put. lemme check
jurov: mike_c
i can't wrap my head about shorting puts, how is the profit computed there?
Vexual:
i know theres more punters since 92
mike_c: yeah, thanks.
i'll add one.
Vexual: if
i put a picture on there ill have my shirt open
mircea_popescu:
i'm unemployed, mods please clean up my mess.
i'm a quick study, believe me when
i say so, pay no mind to the fact
i can't be fucking bothered to figure out where my post goes
pankkake: hopefully at the end of the month
I'll have a better health and will do actual stuff
Vexual:
i don tknow,
i think its a hairstyle and
i misused the term
pankkake:
I have utterly failed to monetize my trolling
Vexual: anyone who thinks
i sound violent might like to taste the irony
mircea_popescu: Vexual
i'd have two nuns, one on each side. the left one'd carry the soap, the right one the ruler.
Apocalyptic: pankkake, he already have it for a long time
I thinl
mircea_popescu:
i don't quite understand why politicians still maintain the facade that the press people are like... people.
mircea_popescu:
i'm glad you mentioned this. absolute textbook study in how teh press doth not matter at all.
pankkake: honestly
I like the CDD (which has a duration) better. it's actually harder to break, well until it ends of course
mircea_popescu: bwahahaha why the fuck do
i need to know anything about some grasshopper-headed frenchie socialist.
mircea_popescu: pankkake> from what
I understand our compatriots are caring about his personal life now… what the fuck << gotta keep up with les americains
pankkake: from what
I understand our compatriots are caring about his personal life now… what the fuck
pankkake:
I don't follow politics at all
Vexual:
i was broke wehn
i went to the continent
mircea_popescu:
i remember all the "omg asicminer is the biggest ting ever" back this summer.
Vexual: yeah
i dint sell all that am at 5
mircea_popescu:
i wonder what happens should anyone claim they didn't do X trade now.
mircea_popescu: buncha people got them.
i don't recall what the reason was supposed to be
gesell1: what tha?
I received an API key email from btct.co, anyone else?
KRS1: Idk..
I've been doing this almost 20 years,
I could be wrong though.
KRS1: diametric
i see 100% uptime guarantee quite often.
mircea_popescu: for instance :
i get first dibs on any piece of hardware replaced-as-broken anywhere on the pipe to my machines
KRS1: application level (php hosting for instance) is out of the question
i think
diametric: mircea_popescu: ahh, well its been many years since
I worked in that space.
I left it around 2004
diametric: mircea_popescu:
i have no idea who that is
KRS1: what mircea_popescu sounds more reasonable,
I've been the victim of that too, where some of my customers were able to reach my hosts, but not others
Vexual:
i like the phrase elopement friendly
ozbot: DIS IZ WHY
I'M HOT (zef remix) - Die Antwoord - YouTube
KRS1:
I'd fuck that in a datacenter
KRS1: mircea_popescu
I'm specifically talking uptime, not throughput though..your servers should always be accessible..hosting php apps, application level hosting however, is a completely different situation and agreed, almost impossible to host applicactions with 100% availability
Vexual:
i remmeber all my isps log were available and mistyped passwords got logged
KRS1: there are 100%'ers out there..in fact
I think its quite common for hosting servers..not necessarily php applications though
diametric: Also large datacenters are managed poorly.
I used to work for Digex, which was then bought by Worldcom, and then bought by Verizon.
KRS1:
i have a friend who hosts out of a small datacenter in texas..he has the choice of like 8 different providers and can fail over at any time
Vexual: well
i think monsoon is relevant to finance through the ages
devthedev:
I failed earlier and sent .25BTC to the wrong address, lol
pankkake: hehe
I spammed your blog jurov too
KRS1: we have a scam scale now?
I thought if scam > 0 | > /dev/null
Vexual: pankakke
i have my kb set wronh
i vant even find@
Vexual:
i bet
i can make jimmoth have an anuerism
Vexual: you're so not scammy,
i think if you ever got into shiping you wouldnt even poke paris
Vexual:

KRS1: prolly the only anime
