Rulother:
I was on a dev team for it some time ago, during the first set of betas. Haven't been able to leave it lol
VanCleef: yeah nice,
i miss nade spamming office
Rulother:
I get back into CS every now and then
fractal: two weeks ago
i got into a shouting match with AM bulls, they've been eerily silent since then.....
pankkake: when
I see the weight isn't in my favor,
I just lazily don't bet
pankkake:
I'd certainly like a calculator. especially if you can tweak stuff (not sure how it would be interface-wise)
fractal: yeah.
i calculated the payout manually.
i'd suggest that the admin put in a js caclulator directly on the page....
fractal: maybe
i'll take a gamble with 1 BTC on NO....
I'd certainly be more inclined to put up 10BTC on NO if
i had some recourse if there was some sort of fraud after the fact.
fractal: ah
i remember that.... luke is a pretty controversial figure though
fractal: mircea_popescu: we'll know after the fact, if what
i said above actaully happens. ;)
fractal: The only problem
i see with the bet, if punin did infact put up the 10BTC himself, is that he can game the results... by doing the following: have 5 of his friends post pictures of boards, saying '
i got my order, the specs are in-line, everything is fine'... and then 2 weeks later when real people get their orders and specs are below advertised, the bet has already finished, and the YES side got all the BTC. gamed.
fractal: no.
i think punin = bitfurystrikesback.com
mircea_popescu:
i think he comes by occasionally, but don't recall seeing him recently.
mircea_popescu: so
i just asumed it's the same thing this time.
i guess ask the guy if you're curious.
mircea_popescu: he had a different bet a few months ago where he actually put 100 btc down on yes, which
i had verified then
mircea_popescu: it's mostly his money on the yes anyway, afaik, so what can
i tell you.
fractal:
i guess we'll see in a few days
ThickAsThieves: what's the new weirdness,
I order a mouse from Logitech and is says my order is under review and
I'll be contacting in 24h?!
gecko_x2:
i just don't understand the shit slinging
dexX7:
i like that this topic receives attention though
i might not like the outcome. let's say
i create some bitbets about "stock x goes up/down", this might be gambling or something else, but wouldn't turn bitbet into a derivate broker, would it? a simulated stock trading plattform with fictitious/non-fictitious securities is not so far away from this imho, but one could also come up with
gecko_x2: well if
i were you
i'd concentrate on making my own exchange better instead of spending all my time pouring shit over others
kakobrekla: thise
i send via snail mail so
i can put some perfume on it
kleeck:
I bet it's a love letter
kleeck:
I think he has been...
ThickAsThieves: "Killed two birds with one stone. Wink The disclosure must now be agreed to before seeing the market or the individual assets. It's virtually the same disclosure as that in the registration agreement, but this way there's a periodic reminder that participants should only be using the site for education/entertainment/fun.
I know a lot of people out there are not going to like this
mircea_popescu: well then excuse me while
i ignore some incompetent scammer trying to steal shit from me in order to make fiddy bux.
mircea_popescu: best
i can guess pretty much all kids have some sort of sexual contact with other kids.
i had, as a kid, all the kids
i knew did, as kids, it's normalcy as far as
i can tell.
mircea_popescu:
i'm sure there's a deep end of it. but
i have the luxury of considering the other end.
kleeck: Of course.
I think the trick is to not hurt anyone while you error your way to adulthood.
kleeck:
I should say most were convicted. Some were wards of the state and were sent by their counties.
kleeck: Indeed.
I used to run a program for what we called, "Sexually Maladaptive Youth".
kleeck: "So, as managing editor of CNN.com,
I want our readers to know this: All you are to us, and all you will ever be to us, are eyeballs. The more eyeballs on our content, the more cash we can ask for. Period. And if we’re able to get more eyeballs, that means
I’ve done my job, which gets me congratulations from my bosses, which encourages me to put up even more stupid bullshit on the homepage."
Duffer1: ya
i saw that,
i would have preferred a motion to open a legal fund but w/e
i'm not a stockholder anyways
dexX7:
i'm not implying "this is legit" or anything, but afaik he withheld 58 bitcoin of divs last month or the month before for upcoming layer expenses
dexX7: but
i'm no layer either
ThickAsThieves: when burnside says "
I know a lot of people out there are not going to like this much, but we have to make sure people are not being tricked or misled into believing anything on the site is a real security."
Duffer1: actually
I'm not convinced that statement would hold water in any court
ThickAsThieves: burnside says "
I know a lot of people out there are not going to like this much, but we have to make sure people are not being tricked or misled into believing anything on the site is a real security."
ThickAsThieves: And honestly, as much as
I liked the whole AM experience,
I believe it was unprofessional from the ground up. AM has a big advantage by being the first in the business, but thinking it's impossible that we can reach 10% or more of what they got is probably underestimating LC's abilities.
ThickAsThieves: "And
I believe we will go over the value of 10% of AM, because hell, why not? If everything plays out as planned, we got way better chips.
ThickAsThieves: "LC has 25x more shares, so if AM is valued at 3 BTC/share, that would put an equally big LC @ 0.12 BTC/share. If we reach just 10% of that: 0.012 BTC/share.
I think comparisons like this are the best estimates you can make with this stock, because both AM and LC use the exact same business model."
matuszed:
I wish btct had implied vols next to their options
ThickAsThieves:
i honestly have yet to attempt to decipher what it is they do
matuszed: Yea.
I would love to see a liquid BTC option market
matuszed:
I love how the options dupe everyone out
Kleeck_:
I read that as: Interracial Interstates
Kleeck_: That's all
I can find on their thread.
ThickAsThieves:
i suppose a teacher is trying to protect their own authority in he classroom
jurov: and
i think the delusion is learned in school, teachers are extremely reluctant to admit error (not even failure)
ThickAsThieves: as time passed
i felt more like a manipulative psychologist than a salesman or service provider
ThickAsThieves: this is something
i eventually had to deal with with my clients, where eventually
i was no longer making a case for my services, but catering to their own psychology to make them "feel" okay with working with me
benkay: "
i was wrong and
i learned a thing"
kakobrekla: >In the last days
I've received next part of funds from Bitalo, next payments will commence shortly.
I have a bit of backlog with refunds recently, due to concentrating my work on shipping Bitalo in september, because that is critical for having sustainable income to be able to repay the remaining funds. All refunds will be processed normally though, no worries here.
I will make a separate update on Bitmarket.eu when this is complete.
smickles: weeeel, it seems that this is an issue with where
i poll some data :/
Rulother:
I guess this genie only allows 1 wish
Rulother: If labcoin would hit .0044 again
I would be so happy
Rulother: Maybe
I should try this with other stocks
Rulother: So you can go down to 2.25 again, and
I'll be happy!
jurov: one can have small negative balance due to unpaid fees,
i generally don't mind it
