kakobrekla: was it berlin who switched to all govt computers to linux a few years back and a few years later figured out its not gonna work and went back to ms
Urushiol: well at least I made a profit
ThickAsThieves: VE is a turd through and through
kleeck: I agree about ignoring trolls, but VE represents a large holding in ActM. I'm not saying he should have interjected, but I can understand the move a bit.
Rulother: I'm just thinking he shouldn't worry about having to go into other forums, and nothing besides a hint of news on monday
Rulother: You've come a long way baby
Rulother: Sounds like a risky click for work
ozbot: What is a monarch "group order"
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=inaba | "inaba" someone who doesn't have a clue about what s/he is talking about, coming from 'inable', 'inability' use their brains before doing something...
ThickAsThieves: I saw a forum conv somewhere where inaba is basically telling everyone monarch is already delayed
Rulother: Finally made a claim with my bank yesterday, we'll see how that goes.
Rulother: I bet some ipo starts up with the intentions of a group buy
Rulother: I'm kind of a penny pincher at the same time
Rulother: Yeah I know it not exactly a bad thing in the end
ThickAsThieves: what's legit is people are selling more AM than they were a week ago
VanCleef: so still a boardmember tat?
mircea_popescu: you can change your name for the cost of a sworn affidavit.
mircea_popescu: make a fucking name for yourself. jokes are good for as long as you wear short pants.
ThickAsThieves: had a very productive time in NYC, now i get have a few frantic days of catch-up
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if you recall, i explained when they introduiced it why it's a bad idea.
mircea_popescu: also, to be always remembered, liquidity is a fickle beast. it appears solid when not needed. take the more obvious case of a casino : if a dice site is making btc, it has investors. what if it's 50k btc under on 100k btc total played ?
kleeck: I agree, ThickAsThieves. It was a shitty play.
mircea_popescu: selling hardware has probably a better revenue model, for surer
mircea_popescu: yeah, that's a fact.
mircea_popescu: the sooner you digest this fact, and the sooner you get rid of the relativism fallacy, the sooner you have a chance to matter.
mircea_popescu: and all on top of very deep ignorance. bitcoin is not a level field.
mircea_popescu: loading your happenstance with nonsense and calling the lot a "fact" won't help you.
kleeck: mircea_popescu, your claims indicate a lack of information on your part. I was correct regarding the AM sell off yesterday. It's not that big of a deal. A number of other people were saying similarly at the same time. I'd like to think you can deal with this fact.
mircea_popescu: random anon on btctalk is not a big player.
mircea_popescu: kleeck a reddit post is worth about as much as your "calling" things.
kleeck: Someone who I think has a pretty informed position in ASICMINER bought a lot of shares from me and so, screw it, if I'm going to lose 25% in a day I might as well stick it out with this guy Then I started getting a ton of PMs for buying shares at market price and realized I might want to wait before I sell too many more, as I was selling some shares way too low. All my offers were being filled by
kleeck: No, I'm not a board member and I haven't been since April.
gribble: Error: "nethas" is not a valid command.

Namworld: I call it a drop at 3.15
gecko_x2: never a dull moment
hegelian: 0.00258 labcoin call option exp 1d23h on BTCTC a good buy?
mircea_popescu: well really it's a broker, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: it's a gui for mpex
gecko_x2: a put option
mircea_popescu: but anyway, in other news : i bought 10bn worth of ice shit in eve yest. today there's a blocade on ice shit.
gecko_x2: i'd like to see a decentralized p2p exchange system based on a similar protocol as torrent, with it's own public blockchain
dub: they'll deliver a unit to luke on jan 5
gecko_x2: as it represents a deadly threat to their own existence
ThickAsThieves: i'm not seeing such a buy
gecko_x2: wall street is a boring pensioner's club :D
gecko_x2: that means the market hasn't got a clue
gecko_x2: it was 4.7 a few weeks ago
freeroute: in lots of countries it's a cold hard reality
freeroute: I guess you could say that, but it's in the same league as being required to use a Windows OS to fill in your tax forms and / or use other online municipal facilities.
ThickAsThieves: it's also not the exchange's problem if you buy a phone not capable of providing 2fa
freeroute: but the only safe alternative is to buy a Yubikey (= spending moneys)
mircea_popescu: well now like that you prolly have a point
mircea_popescu: countries get kicked in the teeth two-three times a century and come right back for more.
mircea_popescu: gecko_x2 they're a nation. they'll be fine.
Namworld: JPY already cheap per unit. I'll be a JPY billionaire
mircea_popescu: i read somewhere they're leaking two-three chernobyls a month.
dub: whats a nash
ThickAsThieves: <mircea_popescu> ThickAsThieves im so dismayed they've not made a dildo that hashes. srsly. <<< you're anus will have to settle for the current offerings I guess ;)
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves im so dismayed they've not made a dildo that hashes. srsly.
ThickAsThieves: next is definitely a cell phone that mines
Rulother: They'll make one that resembles a Voodoo 5 and runs off AGP
mircea_popescu: kinda nice of them, pay a little more to the traders.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves more like anyone trying to push a scam trying to make the most of what they perceive as "an opportunity"
mircea_popescu: dub esp if through a pipe
dub: cocain is a helluva drug
Rulother: Went through nyc during a business trip earlier this summer, good food. O yeah?
dub: its a shithole
Rulother: Well it seems that way for a lot of different assets atm lol
mircea_popescu: scratch a bear, go to jael
Diablo-D3: I think friedcat has to kick shit up a gear
mircea_popescu: this is unparalleled, by about a degree of magnitude or two.
nubbins`: y'know, if i had 1000 AM shares, i'd set up a lowball auction where bidders have to PM me
kleeck: I'm really sorry. Mining is in a bubble right now."
Diablo-D3: mjr_1: do me a favor
louong: an option is a trade
kakobrekla: yeah we should say its an option not a trade
Rulother: 2k in any stock can be a game changer or at least enough to spur up other investors
mircea_popescu: which kind of makes it a contest of who gets it first really.
mircea_popescu: i'd be surprised if the trip from 3.x to 1.x nets a grand total of 2k btc.
Rulother: ActM hasn't seen a true raise in some time now
Rulother: 5btc a month ago
chsados|work: wasnt it at 4btc just a few weeks ago?
ozbot: What is a monarch "group order"
Rulother: For this week and part of next week I don't see Labcoin going above .00255, it's at a stable point between .0022 and .00245 right now
ozbot: My friend just spent $9,000 on a bitcoin miner. He has little or no in depth knowledge on bitcoins,
pankkake: http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/1kswcf/my_friend_just_spent_9000_on_a_bitcoin_miner_he/
mircea_popescu: if a little slovenly
kakobrekla: better to make a video than to fix the trading engine
mjr_1: so i'm very curious if you can use gox price in a bot in order to time the market on bitstamp
mjr_1: but more interesting than that, it seems that gox MAY be a leading indicator at other exchanges
mjr_1: if they were publicly traded, it could tank their stock, or raise, depending on how good of a business person the person running it is
mjr_1: (i assume that bitcoin right now is a very small part of their total business)
mjr_1: they are magnifying a small problem
mjr_1: my only point is, this could be AWESOME for them as a business, or could be TERRIBLE
afrotec: lol, tis a good idea
mjr_1: they are a payment processor similar to seamless
mjr_1: they are not a random pizza parlor
mircea_popescu: this isn't a business for the random pizza parlor.
mjr_1: like i said, a business can leverage its ability to put up with long delays from gox in order to offer MUCH better rate to attract more customers
