Namworld: I use cavirtex to buy/cash out BTC as needed.

smickles: mircea_popescu: "Hello? This is dog. I'm stuck in 1935. Send help" http://i.imgur.com/apaveS3.jpg
mircea_popescu: i think this is largely a semantic issue.
mircea_popescu: dub i didn't pick that example by accident. it was pretty much the largest civil issue in greece.
dub: well I guess my outlook is more grounded in reality that whimsical language of philosophy
mircea_popescu: i dig the skittles one
mircea_popescu: ahh, i nearly forgot. the moment i've long awaited :

smickles: inser 'I' somewhere in there
smickles: bah, i only want it for this in the last week
smickles: i feel it'd be an indicator of how well mpoebot is doing
dub: I guess .5 or 1% would be ok
mircea_popescu: smickles it'd be shit tho casue it'd mix across opex lines i think
mircea_popescu: i'm like sure... all the many thousand dollars' worth of it
unbalanced: mircea_popescu, I read your stuff (er, MPOE-PR's) about "you're not exceptional, get over yourself" or somesuch. Brilliant... and I had to agree. I'd come to that realization already tho.
dub: people I like
smickles: i'd only give travel consideration to the markup on face to face cash
Namworld: I did that somewhere when Bitcoin price started getting volatile. I use it to wake me up when price goes past my set threshold.
unbalanced: And just a coincidence then -- I do some polling stuff and we work in node.js and we built something like that. That's what I'm talking about, you brainiacs knock something out in a weekend and I can't get a project launched in a year.
smickles: i just know of the site from other people using it
smickles: unbalanced: i don't have any idea
unbalanced: I could do without the nastier porn links, but hey, that's just me.
unbalanced: mucho respect for what y'all have built though. I feel smarter just trying to read up on this channel.
unbalanced: mircea_popescu: thanks for the FAQ link btw... I'd already read it, but I'll have to take a vacation to implement and the now-$2100 equiv for a seat is out of my budget range. I was too late to the party so I'll have to stick with the passthroughs.
the-bucket-shop: I came in mid conversation - does someone need someone to set up a vote on bitcointalk about whether to add a tile background to mpex.co? In addition to the cherries?
smickles: not that i saw
unbalanced: mircea_popsecu: see above, I bought in. Kiss of death.
unbalanced: You did, yeah, I see... works I guess
Namworld: I'll add some background container for the text
unbalanced: I like tiles but small body font is too close a shade to them. IMO
smickles: i should hire someone to troll the forum and report its activity back to me too
unbalanced: Maybe a darker body font if you go with that grid-y background. Or did I misunderstand vote?
unbalanced: *That's* where I've seen coinbr.com before... for its charts. Didn't grok that it was also a service.
unbalanced: Okay so coinbr gets me access to some of the MPEx features I wouldn't get yet with Havelock. Roger.
unbalanced: Listen I should warn you all I put some serious (for me) money into Bitcoin today after not holding nearly enough during the run-up.
dub: I think its a bit of both
unbalanced: I was pleased to find SDICE via Havelock and haven't looked much past that.
mircea_popescu: also jurov runs a broker website (coinbr.com) and i think he's doing something with futures too
unbalanced: What's this bitfinex I heard earlier today a few times?
unbalanced: Thanks, I just can't keep up with all the developments and keep my day job.
mircea_popescu: i mean, they wanted 300k got about half of it so far ?
mircea_popescu: cavirtex is doing just fine i'd say.
assbot: I don't know those people, and they don't look very friendly.

Bowjob: I know who bought the avalon for 20k

Bowjob: I thought VTX was .38
benkay: so someone just gave me this raspberry pi, and if I weren't actually busy with things, I'd set up a mining company called "MINIMINER"
ThickAsThieves: man i need to write a prospectus for a $100k ipo
smickles: ThickAsThieves: i have no clue, just weirdness today
smickles: ah i see a mtgox usd trade
benkay: i ain't averse to it.
