mircea_popescu: there's
a thick-ish line on both sides of the 400 and 800 rule, showing tolerances
mircea_popescu: i guess i made
a confusing spec originally in that i didn't correctly separate things for ppl.
ThickAsThieves: mp, your new mask made the head area larger. I assume you know this, but it does feel
a bit top-heavy now.
mjr_: i mean you usually give people who are smart the opportunity to make
a lot of money
mjr_: it can be
a very expensive and potentially disastrous strategy trying to corner
a market
nubbins`: i was kinda offering that up as an implausible scenario in which logic and math break down, but i guess my timing needs
a bit of work
jurov: than to destroy bitcoin as
a whole
jurov: more likely is they will use such scheme to try putting our mircea out of business, should he become
a PITA.
Rulother: I'm sure banks can do it as
a collective
ThickAsThieves: This would remain the case if Bitcoin’s market cap increased 100-fold or even 1000-fold. The algorithm is simple: gradually purchase large sums of Bitcoins,
a hundred million dollars worth given the current market cap would be plenty. Then flash sell them to flood the market and drive the price down. Rinse, repeat."
Apocaly: i mean the part of taking
a day off and then changing his mind about taking the loss out of his pocket, and your comments on that
thestringpuller: It was sarcasm foo. When you make sound effects in
a game you either make foley or synth that shit. Given you AREN'T paying for studio sound I don't see how foley artists would even begin to do their job. So I assume the latter. Or perhaps you're going to buy
a pack of prepackaged sound clips.
mircea_popescu: one needs
a particular sort of retard hat to go from here's an ogg to there won't be sound.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller im not concerned with any of that nonsense and poppycock. i'm making
a game.
thestringpuller: and most foley artists you know, come with
a studio most of the time since they have
a mini-one in their home...
thestringpuller: The foley artists kinda need
a studio for sound effects unless you're going to use chiptunes...
mircea_popescu: "According to the Daily Treasury Statement for July 12, which the U.S. Treasury released this afternoon, the federal debt that is currently subject to
a legal limit of $16,699,421,095,673.60 has stood at exactly $16,699,396,000,000.00 for 56 straight days. "
Rulother: I do try to get in for divs on Wednesday, but its
a gamble for when people sell off their shares and drop the price of am
Rulother: True, but for someone like whose buying and selling them over and over again everyday, Divs are not
a big deal
mjr_: isn't it
a NPV calculation ThickAsThieves
Rulother: I was just saying there was
a big difference in the price for TAT vs pt, when I said that, TAT was 4.17 and pt was 4.42
ThickAsThieves: the 5% of dividend mgmt fee should not be thought of as
a 5% less valuable stock outright
Rulother: yes yes but sometimes it's
a bit more than 5%
Rulother: Well I guess it's
a good thing I convinced myself I was just throwing away money when I made my purchase lol
mjr_: imagine if that happened at
a restaurant every morning lol
mjr_: I really wish I had
a business where everyone clapped every time I opened for business
jurov: but if you must, i suggest to bribe ukto or burnside or parseval to include the chan as
a trollbox
mjr_: i will be hosting
a seminar on "how to see most of your bitcoin be lost to transaction fees" if anyone is interested
Vbs: "How to invest your extra lunch money" would be
a good start
jurov: but i did have some dude who made 0.5BTC into 2 over
a month using mpoe options :D
jurov: lmao, can coinbr be
a sponsor of #smalltimer-nonsense?
mjr_: so I was talking to
a guy who is starting
a site called "TheBitPages.com"
mjr_: or it could just be
a fun place for small timers to talk about nonsense, who knows
mjr_: google "chrome"
a browser with no browser chrome, google "pixel"
a high def display where you can't see the pixels, etc
mjr_: but i am
a fan of ironic names...
mjr_: is the next step
a dump?
ChaangNoi: yeah, this will have been
a fun project, i also bought higher than .11 but still
Rulother: I see it getting to .8 and staling for
a bit
ChaangNoi: i dont know, i was saying yes when it was under .3 now i would have to do the maths again. im
a large holder and going to do
a pump that might not work
ChaangNoi: mining company just now getting
a shit load of asics
mircea_popescu: this is why mpex positions are fully collateralised, once you've opened it you know you can rely on it for
a fixed term no matter what.
mjr_: i'm long
a future here, short
a future there
mjr_: but, technically speaking, if i have the synthetic future on mpex, and the opposite side of
a future contract somewhere else
mjr_: no doubt, that is why i want to do all the math myself, which means learning
a bit of calculus, and pulling out the old graphing calculator lol
mjr_: if i create
a synthetic future on one side
mjr_: the end goal is
a delta neutral position
mjr_: i should have
a "synthetic future
mjr_: if i create
a call, and
a put
mjr_: basically,
a "synthetic future" would be buy
a call/put, sell the other type
mjr_: the one question i have is in regards to
a "SPLIT"
mjr_: eh, still working on
a few things
mjr_: and he may have paid
a dollar over gox
mjr_: handled
a guy looking for 100 coins with no muss and no fuss
mjr_: i actually think he may have gotten
a better price than he could have gotten from gox
mjr_: i think over the last 30 days, we have done $30,000+ in volume, which is not much for an exchange, but for
a local meetup, I think it is growing quickly
mjr_: dude, we had
a new record at satoshi square
Apocalyptic: " // read after
a day i realize there is no way i'm giving 1300 btcs from my pocket, so you were right
ThickAsThieves: this all presumes that the error is real and not
a money grab
dub: cocain is
a hellova drug
peterl: whoa, that was
a big S.dice buy
dub: keiser quite obviously didnt have
a mind to lose
FabianB: lol, every minute

Rulother: I have been wanting to play the new bioshock and dishonored for
a while, that plus Max Payne 3
Blastbob: i bought
a game to
a friend also, want him to join in on mulitplayer
jurov: i see it only as
a stupid mistake - forgot to record the withdrawal into database
thestringpuller: if you like canabalt (which is
a free flash game) it's like that but on steroids, with bosses and levels.
mircea_popescu: i'll gladly continue this convo later, i have
a meetying now.
mircea_popescu: the difference is exactly that : i call
a rat
a rat and squish it, much like
a cat does.
pankkake: so you fancy yourself as
a 1800s lady?
mircea_popescu: make room, the mcdonalds clerk is now in
a position of power and dominates teh market, he'll tell you how it is and what can happen!
mircea_popescu: "So prime dice and coin roll.it with their max payouts below 20btc or below are just foolish? I am not saying we become more conservative than the competition, but we do not need our max bet to be 10 to 20 x the competition. They will not find another site with as fair
a game and as big
a max bet regardless. "
mircea_popescu: there's
a long, long road between actual investor and this sort of hobbist nonsense.
ThickAsThieves: doesn't he have
a ability to name whatever % he wants to take?
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> I think it's also because all of AM is
a buyer's market right now << that is so lulzy.
ThickAsThieves: I think it's also because all of AM is
a buyer's market right now
ThickAsThieves: mp, I tried creating
