deadweasely: i didnt know .0015 was expected
deadweasely: mp, i sent .001 btc fee for 10btc txn, took 9 hours for first confirm... we need a minimum fee schedule that people can choose to use or ignore.

bitcoin_raider: but I don't seem to trust those
bitcoin_raider: what would I need to do/prove/etc to make a legit IPO offering. I see most just post their financials in a google doc
bitcoin_raider: I own a business that sells physical things for both USD and BTC (we exhibit at defcon) and am considering trying to take it public on one of the BTC exchanges... I like the verified accounting it provides
bitcoin_raider: ThickAsThieves: thanks - I looked at sdice and their offering statement
bitcoin_raider: I am interested in purchasing shares of companies which issue dividends in BTC. Has anyone else here done this?
pgp: certainly possible, but I wouldn't be cheering for it... then bitcoin will really be at risk of being in a bubble
ThickAsThieves: i forget
error4733: yes, i'm sure you told me that for 150 back in january (btc@13$)
error4733: i see btc at 500$ in no time, S.dice just can worth 250m$, so it's a quick calcul, it's better for me to cashout
error4733: her i talk about S.dice marketcap
error4733: we didnt talk about losse or wining, if btc was at 13$, i dont care about a shitty div
damientrog: I don't see how a casino can go that wrong

ThickAsThieves: i have a withdrawal in limbo from havelock :/

mircea_popescu: aand here i am trying to keep things civil ;/

mircea_popescu: mpoe-pr: If this is excellent I bet nobody eats what you cook.
ThickAsThieves: i got some nice jasmine tea recently, the fancy kind you put in a metal ball :)
ThickAsThieves: i hope so/not
ThickAsThieves: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166397.0 I wonder what they say to these guys inquiring about investing millions in bitcoins
ThickAsThieves: I taught someone that has been using Windows for at least 10 years how to Alt-Tab the other day. "I need to hang around you more often!"
MJR_: i'm like...is this your first time using a keyboard?
MJR_: i know
MJR_: i just received a business inquiry...the email was in comic sans
jurov: sturles, highest mpex trade spike i have recorded in live.coinbr records is 100 trades/5 seconds on BitBet IPO
sturles: I'm not going to paste everything here. Will get dropped for flooding.
sturles: No, I told you, there were otehr (aggregated) trades reported in the same minute, before and after.
sturles: Why should I quote more? There are more than 100 right there. And I tild you there were trades before and after during the same minute.
mircea_popescu: i care not at all otherwise.
mircea_popescu: i am trying to help you structure your own argument.
mircea_popescu: i still don't grasp why you imagine this'd make a difference.
mircea_popescu: sturles i dunno what mix trades means there.
ChaangNoi: lol worked until i wanted to take out money, broke again
mircea_popescu: i still don't see it
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i'll bet its ddos
mircea_popescu: so let's see : the part where i say "attacker has found his weak spot, moves on" is pretty accurate.
ChaangNoi: yeah, i was just trying ot take out money lol
mircea_popescu: ChaangNoi http://btct.co/ doesn't load here. do i have the wrong url ?
mircea_popescu: i don't recall mtgoxlag under 1
sturles: MJR_: MtGox reports lag in microseconds as well. I have been logging every minute for a while, and the most common value is 0. On a normal day with just a few standard DDoS attacks, it is above 1 second a few times every hour.
mircea_popescu: MJR_> but I also thought that it was hilarious that they said "All exchanges suffer from lag"...yeah and we measure it in microseconds << just had this discussion above, was explaining how six promises 37 microsecond delay
mircea_popescu: i think im getting a little frazzled i've been doing nothing but explaining this for the past 3 hours
gesell: i just aknowledge that
gesell: yeah was also thinking about this but I guess it depends on the nature of the DDoS. If it is similar to that used against spamhaus a few weeks ago... the attacker could still induce panic by attacking the website and read only API to get ticker
gesell: i highly doubt other exchanges would be prepared for such a DDoS. The issue is that people using other exchanges would make the target less obvious
MJR_: but I also thought that it was hilarious that they said "All exchanges suffer from lag"...yeah and we measure it in microseconds
MJR_: i don't care, i've never traded there and we all know they suck...let's move on to the next topic
MJR_: well, i am not talking about gox
KRS1337: if i have old account but never verified will i float to the top
error4733: 57000* i guess
MJR_: cool thanks...i was just going to point out the one pertinent fact
ThickAsThieves: i guess in the scheme of things its not a lot of people
ThickAsThieves: where do i check that info again?
ThickAsThieves: i'm amazed that after all that the price held
mircea_popescu: it's all spelled out for them, they can just steal it uncredited like before for all i care.
