cads: No, I intend to do all the research and coding myself - API + engine. The web front end will be done by friends.

cads: mircea_popescu: this summer I will work towards implementing a marketplace for BTC <-> LTC futures.

cads: mircea_popescu: I have a help request and project proposal for you.

mircea_popescu: Scrat i bet the forum will be full of people saying "thank you mpoe-pr for warning us not to trust these muppets a month ago"

KRS1: they should just give me the 30 btc instead of buying namecoins, at least i'll talk dirty to them or something

joeykrim: KRS1, i think you might only see that in one specific region until they re-route to another region

KRS1337: yes- limit order that is what i meant about my sell order not going through- market price is lower than my selling price at that moment, but my view to the actual market price is obscure

KRS1337: I appreciate your insight

mircea_popescu: KRS-1 use limit orders i guess

KRS1337: if I want to sell btc but gox is lagging really bad does that mean i get a really bad market price or my sell orders might not go through?

mircea_popescu: at the time i'm saying this about ltc, 1. ltc is a copy of btc with no actual advantage and 2. i'm not ignorant.

KRS1337: maybe.. bgupta i think about that

bgupta: mircea_popescu: Arguably one could have said the same about btc 3 years ago… IE: Many claimed btc was a big ponzi scheme that created value out of nothing.. I'm not convinced but there may be value in having more than one cc.

KRS1337: yes mircea popescu i am

mircea_popescu: pretty much the one use of ltc that i can see atm is to play ponzi. do you see another ?

joeykrim: can i pm you the address ive been using?

joeykrim: read the faq, stay away from bad bets, something i would bet on

joeykrim: mircea_popescu, talked last night with kakobrekla who recommended i ask you .. ive been putting in bets on bitbet.us and was wondering if you had any insight on why some get rejected?

KRS1337: ya thats a good thing..i have no long term interest in ltc..just wanted to throw a buch down right quick but did not expect this

KRS1337: hmmm maybe i can buy a ton right now

jurov: i'm not going to predict anything. just don't panic and wait it out

KRS1337: i know..its just me

jurov: and i never said anything about btc-e!!!

KRS1337: so i can probably transfer them to another exchange? I see people on btc-e losing their asses

KRS1337: jurov: idk..i see ltc tanking then i hear get away from gox..idk what to do

bgupta: jurov, where else can I trade btc with liqudity

KRS1337: great friday morning i woke up to

KRS1337: will I lose my btc investment too soon? wtf is going on

jurov: bgupta, just get rid off mtgox completely. fortunately i'm not american, just following

jurov: so more ppl did the same, i guess

jurov: KRS1337: i had quite a few ltcs bought year ago stashed at various places

bgupta: what's the deal with this? http://coinlab.com/press I seem to still be able to directly access my mtgox account?

mircea_popescu: well, the thing is, i'm really uninterested in oppinions. i am stating facts.

mircea_popescu: i have no idea why this is so difficult.

mircea_popescu: obviously he doesn't have a prayer in hell to compete seeing how he handles < 1k and i do over 1k. of course my service would be better.

mircea_popescu: when i say you suck and mpex owns you, he says "this is true"

bgupta: (I was third level support, and it generally took a long time to get to my desk, and if it did it wasn't trivial to solve.

mircea_popescu: i know they have.

bgupta: (Saying this because I have worked in customer service orgs in the past.

bgupta: I think that they are at a scale that they are using "helpdesk staff" that are largely following scripts.

mircea_popescu: then again i guess that's asking a little much, they probably don't have the technical ability to do anything other than read tickets from their host.

mircea_popescu: it says specifically what i wish from a service that aspires to be halpful.

bgupta: I'm reading it as we take care of simple issues in 20 minutes… complex issues or outage related issues exluded.

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2013/boys-and-girls-i-got-news-were-being-probed/

mircea_popescu: again, that's not what i said.

bgupta: I don't read "when issues are not simple user-specific issues (or linked to an outage)" as "when issues are not simple user-specific issues that are linked to an outage"

mircea_popescu: what i mean is : they are NOT transparent.

bgupta: well. I'd be curious to know what they mean by "simple user-specific issues" IE: Does that preclude "complicated user-specific issues"?

bgupta: I don't yet see evidence of outright lying.

bgupta: For some reason I thought that it was you… since you are always linking to posts by said avatar.

mircea_popescu: i'm not saying this to exclude you, just saying, this is all very banal crap

mircea_popescu: also we're not quite prepared for serving new people, what i'm saying here is common knowledge among "us".

mircea_popescu: i guess she's lazy

bgupta: "I won't bother to compile the endless list of proof to show you just lied" Why not?

mircea_popescu: bgupta they were not transparent about either. they are not transparent now either. i have no idea what you are talking about.

bgupta: Or am I misreading..

mircea_popescu: hickAsThieves> going to bed, i expect you guys to get btc up to 140 while i sleep << and yet it's exactly 133

bgupta: I don't think we need to exchanges. perhaps more money changers

bgupta: personally I kinda wish btc would stay really low so I can buy more..

denialdenial: so i don't see how 1000 matters

taub: i dont think anyone argues that it's horrible in general

denialdenial: i don't think the price matters anymore

bgupta: well, I suspect that miners will start moving to oz.

bgupta: it would only shift if cartels wanted to keep their stashes in btc.. and I'm not so sure that would be a good thing for btc… IE: governments might use an excuse to outlaw

bgupta: I know silkroad does about $29 million per month

taub: i dont think endless spending and money printing can go on forever

denialdenial: i can tell you in case you don't know

taub: i'm still half hoping the system wont collapse

denialdenial: i doubt will see JUly 2011 again ever

bgupta: I certainly would look to liquidate USD equities and move to btc.

bgupta: I don't think so… if there were a crash, I think buyers would come out in droves..

denialdenial: i think so

denialdenial: i would expect the japanese to at least make a trillion dollar samurai sword or something

B0g4r7: Most all of the overseas suppliers I order from, they want paypal.

B0g4r7: I think the only reason a lot of ppl use pp is because it made international payments easy.

denialdenial: i was reading a reddit post comparing bitcoin to paypal earlier

ChaangNoi: i bought a bunch of yen a while ago, made 20% in 2 years, sold it howevere

denialdenial: i heard AUD is trading against yuan directly soon too

B0g4r7: By an order of magnitude I'd say.

bgupta: (Not that I can really borrow Yen ATM..

ThickAsThieves: going to bed, i expect you guys to get btc up to 140 while i sleep

ThickAsThieves: wait Japan is gonna double the amount of currency in two years, did i read that correctly?

Bugpowder: At this point though, I've cashed enough out that I'm just gonna sit on the rest for a long time

Bugpowder: I am happy to take a pause from rapid price gains on say... April 27th.

Bugpowder: yeah i know

mircea_popescu: anyway, i dunno, davout is awol.

mircea_popescu: well... i guess the 40k rthey moved was some panic attack.

mircea_popescu: I started with 0.1. I made it to 0.2 playing over a week and 200 transactions later. Then it went down to 0.04. Then I made it go back up to 0.2. After 400 transactions later, I lost it all in a do-or-die bet, the final bet was 0.04 or something like that.

ThickAsThieves: i think AM might have some kind of balancer that moves hashes to oxcoin

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: it will be funny when I drop your name to simona tomorrow and she happens to know you...for some reason...

mircea_popescu: but i'm not interested in doing fiat.

mircea_popescu: unlike absolutely any other bitcoiner i can just walk into a bank's boardroom and talk to the board.

mircea_popescu: i know half the bankers in the country.

mircea_popescu: Bugpowder it makes jack shit of a difference, i could easily do it.

mircea_popescu: i'm not going to be the mother of bitcoin invalids.

mircea_popescu: i'm not interested in writing code

mircea_popescu: i'm like...

ThickAsThieves: i like AM, but i dont like repeatedly moving targets

ChaangNoi: AM and friedcat is looking like the best bet right now on asics as far as i can invest, bfl, hhhaa no, avalon? maybe but at this price, no

mircea_popescu: i don't jump to the unrelated "they will x"
