topace: all responses also now contain an 'apirate' parameter, which, the entire time i was code, read as "api rate", but just as i finished, i looked back and went "yarrrrrrrrr

benkay: asciilifeform: i attended

a use case.

davout: i always want to make yo mamma jokes when someone mentions
a wide spread
turbo_ac100: hey mircea_popescu, do you want to make someone make
a firefox search engine plugin for bitbet? Imagine asigning keyword bb and just 'bb bfl' would CREATE fun - or at least find it.
mike_c: if this were
a simple problem we wouldn't be talking about it. simple designs are great, but limiting.
thestringpuller: yea, but I was seeing how the user could see more of their trades in
a gui
mircea_popescu: yes, if they want to store data they;ll need
a filesystem or some other similar implement
mircea_popescu: and the fact that you will need
a very solid api or nobody will mm it.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: so for the "average" mpex user they would need to call stat evert "blah" hours and keep
a log of all of them to record every trade/transaction they've made on mpex no?
mike_c: the mm is just
a help to see what you're getting.
mircea_popescu: honestly i dun see myself using it, sounds like
a sort of bettrade w/e that thing was called, except with
a perhaps very broken auto-mm tacked on
mike_c: you have to refund I guess. I'm on bitbet, i say "i want 10btc of dems at up to 0.2 per share". You generate an address and in your DB mark it as
a limit order at 0.2. if you can only fill 5btc of it you have to send the other 5 back..
mike_c: unless something seems way off to you. like the idea of putting in
a limit order.
mike_c: it's right. i feel it. i'll build
a simulation.
mike_c: you basically put in
a limit order. "buy up to 10btc of shares at up to 0.2 each"
mircea_popescu: i now go to the forum and open
a scam thread, saying you put the 10 btc
mike_c: first off, that is currently the situation with BB. betting early on
a high volume bet is
a guaranteed win.
mircea_popescu: but if i know that
a certain bet will reach say 200 btc total wagered
mircea_popescu: so any new bet is basically
a landrush to buy the early shares ?
mike_c: so coming in and dropping 10btc on
a bet with only 0.3 on the other side, not so great.
mircea_popescu: just guess the value of the integral, it won't kill you .not like it's
a binding contract or anything
mircea_popescu: so if i spend 10 btc i get
a number of shares you can't specify. wjhat happens next ?
mike_c: now there will be
a share price for each one (there are
a variety of pricing functions) to buy
a share in each outcome
mike_c: the nice thing about is that you don't need
a time weight. early bettors get better odds, and it will naturally get squeezed off when the market knows the event is decided.
mike_c: if there is sufficient interest from people i can work up
a simulation.
mike_c: bettor would basically put in
a limit order
