unbalanced_:
I should try that, not be me... it worked for George Costanza.
unbalanced_: To understand the many ways you can lose money with Bitcoin...
I could write a book
unbalanced_:
I read forums for 2 years before piping up here and (as people here can verify)
I'm still pretty much a bitcoin idiot.
Insaneatyou: Bugpowder yah, now
i realise it's just expensive
Insaneatyou: asciilifeform
i've read Satoshi's paper, but
i see the point.
Insaneatyou: MJR_ in a regulated market in fiat
I thought writing bots to trade for you was illegal
Insaneatyou: asciilifeform - ah, yes,
i hadn't quite realized that you could do that. It's an unregulated marekt
mircea_popescu: "
i feel like im dying, or maybe dead. in incredible agony now."
Bugpowder:
I recommend watching clark moody with the sound up loud
mircea_popescu: "
I feel like
I can't talk to anyone, because my own problems are stupid and insignificant, because
I am stupid and insignificant."
Bugpowder: remove the "looking to" from this sentence. "but to be honest,
I'm looking to study Economics, that's my area of interest"
Insaneatyou: To be honest,
i dont have any examples. If you have a problem, hit me with it.
I'll give it a shot
mircea_popescu:
i like people who know they're worthless pieces of garage.
Insaneatyou:
I did much math before, but haven't used it in a while,
i also used to code some
Insaneatyou: but to be honest,
I'm looking to study Economics, that's my area of interest
Insaneatyou:
I'm apparently the worst at selling myself
Insaneatyou:
I hate people but make a fair to middling salesman
Insaneatyou: but
I'd like to pointout,
i already mentioned this to MP
Insaneatyou: asciilifeform hey,
I would love to work with BTC but
I am poor. MP said
I should talk to you
bowjob: and
i hate babies. all they do is shit around
bowjob: nah.
i had this classmate knock a girl up when he was in hs. he's not so free these days
unbalanced_:
I completely agree about finding people willing to Do The Work.
taub: bgupta:
i haven't found out any correlation yet, but it's cute to look at
bowjob: it used to be him trolling, then
I turned the thread about cats... then somehow it tured out to be an ATH thread
bowjob: "Topic:
I'm calling the top here @ $23.98961"
bowjob:
i assume the other guy put some btc in, thats why his got accepted
MJR_:
i mean like a solid base for other people to build an economy around
MJR_: ugh,
i don't mean like the bitcoin foundation
MJR_: mircea_popescu:
I agree, don't need repackagers, need people willing to work
bowjob: For this bet,
I posted the exact same bet,
i dont see my addy
mircea_popescu: MJR_
i kept trying to push people towards dfoing a blog, which is a subset of what you say but easier to do (for a geek)
MJR_: bloomberg started small (
i know most people can't believe that these monolithic huge corps were startups at one point)
MJR_:
I think if someone just read the top stories from reddit, and had a simple feed from this channel on a youtube program, while showing bitcoinity, bitcoincharts, clarkmoody, they could get ad revenue
bgupta: right my point is in this case,
I sense that that a solid site could be built, and it would be useful, and get a lot of traffic, but there doesn't seem to be a market yet of folks iwlling to pay for a paywall service.. and ads can only bring in so much.
mircea_popescu: tbh
i think the model is very good as it is : bitcoinity for the crazed f5 mashing crowd, bitcoincharts for the more in depth universal minded minds.
MJR_:
I appreciate the little easter eggs, and
i think people watch bitcoinity pretty religiously
MJR_:
i think that if you want to talk about eyeballs on a screen, bitcoinity has that...someone should create the CNBC of bitcoin, and basically just do a youtube channel talking about bitcoin related affairs with great market data in the ticker and sidebar.
MJR_:
i was wondering about bitcoinity's business model...
jurov: while
i'm at it, what price is used for exercises when btccharts isn't there?
bgupta:
I'd look at the uptime/downtime numbers of the public one that's used, and see how often it's offline
jurov:
i know but bitcoinity can make average vwap from these 4 biggest exchanges they have there
bgupta: mircea_popescu: Am
I observing incorrectly that min/max and volume numbers go away if bots aren't playing?
MJR_:
i am more worried about everyone choosing to just say, why bother selling at all...
MJR_:
i think it would be funny if one day all the sellers decided to list all their coins at $1010101...for 10 minutes, just to show people that they have to choose to sell
unbalanced_:
I remember reading something about stale info a week or two ago and am just trying to grok it now
bowjob:
i guess ill be spoiled with 4 btc a day
bowjob: then
i click mine, and it doesnt seems to work
bowjob:
I registered on slush's pool.
i inputted my worker bowjob.worker1 and put whatever password they supplied me
unbalanced_:
I'm looking at bitcoincharts and at mpex.co: no bot quotes?
rikur: mircea_popescu:
I can't see this risky last minute bet mentioned on the site
jurov:
i don't know. hence, it will be kept by coinbr
jurov: oh
i already am.. there's a guy who forgot both his coinbr username, password and email
jurov: lol hehe...
i'm considering to enact something like
mircea_popescu: irt's not that "
i don;'t fix it". it's that what you're proposing is not a fix, and what
i have is.
bowjob: also,
i won my fist bitbet
bgupta: btw - kinda glad
I lost that bet
rikur: jurov: when
I bet Yes at around 160$,
I was taking much higher risk than last minute 50 BTC bettor don't you agree?
rikur:
I know, but since the weight was given against the Last of April, even last minute better get 50% weighted
rikur:
I was Yes days ago
bgupta: al seem pretty high, but
I think that reflects an expectation of growth in usd/btc ratio.
mircea_popescu: About you trollers , all
I have to say is: "clap clap clap clap ! ". May you get it and may it be penicillin resistant.
kakobrekla:
i was speaking about 349 being last block
orkaa:
i've seen stupid+ugly+insane
benkay:
i went with pretty and smart
benkay:
i see you have all chosen where to make your beds on the lady-triangle
ThickAsThieves:
i'd say my wife is smart enough, but she's so far removed from bitcoin it would not be so simple
kakobrekla:
i always suspect trading is halted, when
i see 0 sec
unbalanced_: er by "10K worth"
I mean the 10,000 shares offered at IPO
unbalanced_: ThickAsThieves re: VTX
I imagine it's because it stopped going up and some of the people who bought 10K worth noticed there were only a few dozen shares worth of bids over 0.20 BTC
jcpham: but
i'm pretty sure all bitcoin searches basically stopped
jcpham:
i thought you were about to say people were still searching for bitcoin
jurov: disregard today... it seems declining since wednesday...
i doubt it takes them 3 days to aggregate all data
jcpham:
i'm glad we can see eye to eye on this
jcpham: and all those loans
i made... that never repaid me
jcpham:
i was just doing some maths
