mircea_popescu: investor went for 5% and then
a large buy appeared. it took
a while to sell but i think over ~6 months it mostly bought like 2/3 or so
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, Right now I'm thinking of just plugging in
a microphone and hiring some hookers, Rob Ford style <<< for the record, this is MP style!
mircea_popescu: "o here's
a cool patch of clean grass, let's vomit on it"
mircea_popescu: bitbet feature request: bitbet.us/bet/[id]/data.json returns json object with relevant bet information. weighted no/yes, current weight, etc. <<< kakobrekla that's prolly
a good idea, stops people from scraping pages in desperation.
opc0d3: bitbet.us bet about ICBIT being
a scam will go to the NO's. ICBIT.se #1 super top exchange. MPEX #1 scam
opc0d3: all those idiotic pass-thru's taking comissions will be put out of business and MPEX will die
a slow death
pankkake: SHIT. on one of my open source projects I released, I got
a "Only wanna tell that this is invaluable, Thanks for taking your time to write this."
opc0d3: #1 AMAZING exchange ICBIT.se will be adding options soon. Very low pricing.... MPEX will be
a wasteland of ZERO volume as soon as ICBIT.se adds options.... What
a joke MPEX is...
opc0d3: MPEX exchange nothing but
a scam. ICBIT.se amazing #1 top futures exchange. $ millions
a day in volume
opc0d3: ICBIT.se by far the largest futures/derivatives exchange now.... MPEX left behind in the dust by charging 40BTC membership fee. what
a joke.
pankkake: I get
a lot of "thanks for this article you are such an awesome writer" spams
mircea_popescu: basically the way blog spam works these days is they just scrape
a large bunch of facebook pages or w/e then randomly mix up the sentences, add linksat the seams and that's that
dub: I nearly lost the string 'bad titjobs?' in
a document
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller the first leader was there before there was speech. so not really much of
a dilemma.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu doesn't that create
a chicken and egg scenario? what bout the first leader?
mike_c: so.. you did
a hg clone and charged them 250 hopefully :)
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller leadership is like the D part of
a D/s relationship. you gotta apprentice, it's impossible to learn by reading
Azelphur: and they wanted us to be fully liable for when they get hacked, and they were looking at running it on
a box with 300 other websites on it (wordpress, joomla, etc)
mike_c: bitstamp is
a django shop, maybe you can borrow theirs :)
Azelphur: accepting all crypto coins is the plan though, I'm working on
a payment module for django to make that happen
Azelphur: glad I took your advice you gave me
a while back not to buy
a house
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: bitcoin made me
a bit richer \o/

mgio: whats wrong with java? are you
a C# fan?
pankkake: well
a lot of the actual web stuff happens in C. databases, servers, etc.
Tulak_: everyone is
a webdeveloper nowadays. meh
Tulak_: You don't see
a lot of webstuff in c

mgio: they've called
a bunch of people im sure
mgio: colored coins are the easiest way to implement
a distributed exchange, thats why. not sure why you are so pessimistic. yes, i agree, there is
a lot of talking and not much doing. but it doesnt mean the ideas wont work
pankkake: mgio: the issue is decentralized order books. the "best" proposal by mastercoin still sucks for many reasons (you can back out of
a trade and thus easily put fake buys, it's slow as fuck because you have to wait for
a block each time, etc.)
mgio: basically uses the blockchain as
a way to store who owns what
mgio: sure but its even simpler if anyone who wishes to participate runs
a client that connects to
a peer to peer network which contains all the relevant information
mgio: all the important stuff is already there in bitcoin, the only thing needed is need is
a way to distribute info about each security, basically
a peer to peer network
ThickAsThieves: if people wanna have shady trading pools, they dont need
a blockchain, they need to just get organized and make them
Apocalyptic: i have
a deep conviction it can't work by design
mgio: well all the exchanges shutting down :(. I think we need
a real peer-to-peer distributed security exchange based on colored coins that can't be shut down

a HUGE risk to buy it at above the buy back value

a journal

a few months worth of log.bitcoin-assets.com

a relative

a virgin

a daunting task you have ahead of you

a consequence BIPS will temporarily close down the wallet initiative to focus on real-time merchant processing business which does not include storing of Bitcoins."
