Bugpowder: mircea_popescu: They raised my withdrawl limit two hours after I emailed them
smickles: < Bugpowder> smickles is wrong << i guess they finally gave that up, huh? (also, i'm laggin out like mad cats)
MJR_III: nor am i a fan of php
MJR_III: ah could be true i suppose
mircea_popescu: they're prolly going to move it on a separate machine seeing how i the "how mpex does it" article made the rounds
MJR_III: lol, i wish
MJR_III: you wo9uld imagine wrong i think
Bugpowder: I would imagine they are using SSDs.
dub: I was trying to think of a way that gox can be gamed through its shithouse engine
MJR_III: well that theory was busted for me...i guess their book is pretty accurate, as far as they actually have funds behind orders
Bugpowder: I can test in a few days when I dump another batch at $97. :)
MJR_III: i think bugpowder said that they only show the closest to top of book?
Bugpowder: I tested it.
MJR_III: as you'll see...i told him if market was efficient it'd be broken
mircea_popescu: oh i see, i misread. yeah.
Bugpowder: mircea_popescu: I am not interested in the BTC number, just the USD total
MJR_III: it is just getting started i feel
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i don't get his numbers.
MJR_III: which is why i like bitcoin trading...i don't have margin calls to worry about

MJR_III: i was watching rogue trader today...they sold nick leesons trading floor jacket for 21,000 lb
MJR_III: i am in that boat now with sdice
MJR_III: if i believe in the company i'd rather just buy and hold...but sometimes you need to take some profits to rebalance
MJR_III: mircea_popescu: i agree...but i don't like having to sell a position to take profits
mircea_popescu: i don't think that necessarily speaks against them
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder exactly. which is why i see why the cavirtex ppl wouldn't really want to pay dividends.
smickles: i was a bit of a troll at some points MJR_III ;)
dub: I like monkey paw green tea
mircea_popescu: i understand the value of dividends in decreasing risk
MJR_III: i know yeah
MJRIII: once its up around $100 i can't wait to just trade for fun
jurov: still, i wouldn't rule out somethink like goxapi backdoor
mjr_: or should i say most
mjr_: and i don't think their volume is a huge percentage
mjr_: i know of one place where you can short
mjr_: i wonder how many short positions there really are
mjr_: if that isn't fucked up, i don't know what is
Namworld: If Bitcoin was to permanently become worthless, I'd gladly accept a pizza instead =/
mjr_: at least that is how it was explained to me...i mean who needs more than a 1 btc for a put struck at $1?
jurov: i suppose i just confirmed that <thestringpuller> Jurov is a big meanie head
Bugpowder: ok, I will lower my price a bit :)
jurov: bugpowder i think the only way you can sell the idiffs is to show proof they are well covered :)
mjr_: wish i could calc how many puts per btc right now
mjr_: i was saying that i would simply place limit orders at the price i wanted and get filled or no
Bugpowder: if you want some at .249 I'm selling
jurov: when they do autocombust, i'll report
jurov: lol i bought some at 0.035 back in january... someone made an erroneous order
mjr_: i think its great
jurov: ofc, nobody forces me since i made my own: https://bitfunder.com/asset/CoinBr.iDiff-E
jurov: but i think it won't be worth it in any case
jurov: yes i think it comes form last close, i would be thankful if you enumerated all the options
mjr_: ah ok i see
mjr_: but at a profit to you of 2.9x i think
mjr_: so i don't see the problem
mjr_: so you need to have up 40 million satoshi or 4 btc i think for each contract
mjr_: the difficulty at that point i thought
mjr_: jurov: i had not seen, explained what?
jurov: mjr_ were you around when i explained yest?
mjr_: yep i'll say
ThickAsThieves: i thought i had seen his name as trustworthy, but was unaware coinbase was for sale
jurov: from piuk? i think not
mjr_: and in fact made about 300% this month, though i exercised early at 71
mjr_: Bugpowder: i typically do the same thing. at the money calls, hold till end of month...haven't had an option expire worthless yet
mjr_: Bugpowder: i should have been scooping up some calls during the lows
mjr_: diff is i expect some good news
mjr_: i personally am expecting some news from sdice at some point in the next few months...they have been quiet for quite a while
mjr_: that make up 87% and he has said he doesn't have a majority i believe
ThickAsThieves: actually i'd love it if you put 100btc against sdice on that bet
jurov: i guarantee you
tiberiusiv: yes i know bbet is illiquid, mpex is illquid and inefficient blah blah blah
Namworld: Can I put some stock in escrow?
Namworld: What can I do to borrow some of that capital, smickles?
jurov: DRINK! <tiberiusiv> mircea would agree with everything i said about sdice
tiberiusiv: mircea would agree with everything i said about sdice
tiberiusiv: how do i get authenticated?
smickles: mjr_: i don't think nano is the highest rated
nanotube: well, if there are no mutually trusted third parties, i guess this is a non-starter.
smickles: tiberiusiv: i never said it had to be someone you don't know
tiberiusiv: smickles: no 2 years is too long to have in someone i dont know escrow
mjr_: which i would not estimate is worth nearly 100 btc
smickles: tiberiusiv: I'm not doing the bet w/o a both party escrow. Are you willing to do any amount with an escrow?
nanotube: tiberiusiv: i just advised smickles not to take the risk. if you both decide you want to, then i'm not going to stand in your way ;)
nanotube: smickles: at any rate, 2 years is a long time... so even with escrow i'd probably not bet on this. :)
smickles: tiberiusiv: i would escrow too
Bugpowder: I generally just buy around the strike
Bugpowder: I just use my own brain
tiberiusiv: i dont get it, trust me to do what?
smickles: I'm not doing this without an escrow because i don't trust you
smickles: are you kidding? why should i risk my coins on your word?
smickles: i want to know that
smickles: i wasn't at the keyboard the whole time, so i might have missed tiberiusiv's reasoning as to why SD is gambling or gambling in the order that it needs to be regulated
smickles: i don't mean to be rude, but i can talk about you and the ideas you presented
smickles: but seriously, did i miss something or did they basically say that SD was illegal because it's online gambling, and it's online gambling b/c it's online gambling
smickles: ya know, i don't think tiberiusiv is a troll. troll keep going when trolled, don't they?
mjr_: i'm very interested in what is going to happen with the credit markets in bitcoins economy
mjr_: i can't keep talking about this anymore
mjr_: i know...so bored
ThickAsThieves: i have shit to do
ThickAsThieves: anywho i cant believe the conv is still going
