smickles: heh, i ended up using the money to make an extra payment on my wife's car
mod6: oh i remember that day.
smickles: mircea_popescu: this also happened that day that he had trouble authing with gribble, so, given that he wasn't willing to sign anything, i had a small bit of doubt that i was even talking with the real evoorhees
MJR_: I wish they had an automatic rebuy option
Namworld: I'll be doing buybacks even
Namworld: aye, too bad I can't sell more.
smickles: i mean, all i was asking for was a 'paper copy' of what he was saying
MJR_: I understand the reticence smickles
smickles: ah well, one of you do it then. i'm on to other things
MJR_: I doubt it would really matter compared to their revenue
MJR_: I don't think that they would care much
smickles: at the least, i saw it as a bad risk to lay down money on production and then get a c&d
MJR_: seriously, though...I trust a ssd more than Moody's
MJR_: I think it has become the de facto standard of excellence
mircea_popescu: smickles i don't follow. you outlay what, 50 btc for printing dice on his promise that he'll adverise them if he likes them.
MJR_: I was wondering what the process is for ssd certification?
smickles: so i don't want to do something that puts me in such a vulnerable position
mircea_popescu: tho last time i got the cake :D
smickles: i was going to have dice manufacured and sell them and he said it was ok, and that if they looked good he'd advertise them. but would not have any form of that deal in writing
smickles: MJR_: no, i mean just in the dice situation
smickles: mircea_popescu: i'm weary about entering into a business with a guy who won't put anything in writing ever
deadweasel: I placed some bets, but I forgot on what. I guess I could scrape your site for the few of my btc addy.
smickles: ya know, i'd be selling satoshi dice dice at satoshidicedice.com right now if evoorhees had given me anything more than an informal statement that he wouldn't sue me for using the brand
smickles: well, damn, ofc i lost MY less than 1 bet
ThickAsThieves: i meant informally
mod6: i love it.
mircea_popescu: i know right ?!
MJR_: lol, I've never worked harder than when I got involved in bitcoin
mod6: yeah, i've had 5 cups of coffee, btc is > $70 and im /still/ workin like a slave
unbalanced_backt: I bet he wishes he could erase that.
MJR_: Ben affleks finest work was that scene I think
MJR_: The Notorious BIG said it best: "Either you're slingin' crack-rock, or you've got a wicked jump-shot." Nobody wants to work for it anymore. There's no honor in taking that after school job at Mickey Dee's, honor's in the dollar, kid. So I went the white boy way of slinging crack-rock: I became a stock broker.
MJR_: I was trading quotes with coworkers yesterday
mircea_popescu: smickles i see it
MJR_: s.dice has great prospects I think
ThickAsThieves: i think i get about 30% less sleep now that i bitcoin
topace: i cant argue this now, im late
topace: when i luanched the sdice passthru i limited it in the public offerings
mircea_popescu: topace i would say this is kludge. keep a single book rather than fragment it.
mircea_popescu: what am i missing here
mircea_popescu: unbalanced i don't get it tho. if there's ipo shares left they're in the book at ipo price. you can't buy past them.
kakobrekla: unbalanced i think this was the last chart i made http://shrani.si/f/36/x3/1yQoSMpP/critticall.png
unbalanced: I think on past IPOs people bought at the bid/ask and didn't see that there were IPO shares left.
mircea_popescu: i can't make sense of it.
mircea_popescu: unbalanced i think so. sometimes people go "no clue" tho.
kakobrekla: unbalanced https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=141127.0 < - i didnt update the thread since there was no interest but i can give you the last data i have
unbalanced: I thought you were supralegal
unbalanced: where by "others" I mean "me"
mircea_popescu: (by we i mean my legal doods)
topace: i figured the announcements should be up to virtex themselves :p
unbalanced: They are trying to do this in a way that won't get them shut down. I hope they do well and grow the market.
topace: no i ddint really announce it :p
mircea_popescu: topace o there you are. hey, did you announce here and i missed it ?
ColdHardMetal: Maybe, but speed counts sometimes. I don't really use them often, every 2-3 months. I can use them without having to submit any dox to anyone whcih keeps things simple.
mircea_popescu: ColdHardMetal if you only need ~100 i'd imagine you're connected enough to handle it otc ?
ColdHardMetal: I don't think it's defensible at all. However in my case it's easier than having to go through multiple wires and currency conversions to get funds where I need them, so I just suck it up and pay.
mircea_popescu: ColdHardMetal Greater than 2500 0.50%. I dunno how defensible that 3% is given that 100 per monht...
ThickAsThieves: i couldnt find a reason to buy in
unbalanced: Disclosure: I want to own some but will have to wait.
ColdHardMetal: Canadian securities regs aren't far off SEC. I'd be surprised if they aren't in violationalready tbh.
unbalanced: kakobrekla: nice charts, what assumptions did you use? I'm still foggy on difficulty driving price.
mircea_popescu: i had no idea cavirtex is actually making money.
kakobrekla: remember i made this in feb http://shrani.si/f/3l/OQ/2JCCgxKS/critpred3.png
MJR_: strangely, I think we are going to see a bunch of new money coming in
MJR_: I wish they showed how many orders they do per day
MJR_: I hedge my portfolio partially with lending dollars on bitfinex
MJR_: I think
MJR_: yes I agree
MJR_: I figured that now im playing with the houses money
smickles: i took profits too
MJR_: gribble can give that? or do I have to use mpexbot?
splnkr: all that's much more complicated, i just think anyone saying there's a hard ceiling for USD/BTC in the double or even triple digits is BSing
MJR_: well double entry accounting says I have a receivable
MJR_: but now I want to buy something
MJR_: but lets say I lend u 100 BTC
MJR_: in a sense I suppose
splnkr: i certainly wouldn't
MJR_: nobody I know of
smickles: i'm not lending out others deposits
splnkr: i mean that's if every fiat currency goes poof and everyone adopts BTC
smickles: if i lend 1 btc to a person with good enough credit in the community, i can treat the owenership of that loan as money (about equal to 1 btc)
splnkr: it's outside the scope of this discussion i think
MJR_: if I say a barrel of oil
MJR_: I can only lose one bitcoin because its a contract to buy one bitcoin
MJR_: what I love about options on mpex
MJR_: well...that is not real...I was just talking to someone about this yesterday
MJR_: and I don't want to unwind those positions...but and hold strategy
MJR_: to be honest...I don't have a lot of coin
splnkr: i don't see how there's any ceiling
MJR_: 100 by 2014...but the market knows best I guess
MJR_: that's why I wish it would slow back down
smickles: i bet a lotta people look at this chart and see nothing but pump and dump
pizzaman1337: ok, http must be behind, but I look at that one frequently
smickles: i think the high comes from mtgox's http ticker, and the last is a stored value from the websocket
MJR_: I am wondering if any of the hacker spaces in NYC have bitcoin fever
jurov: otherwise i have everything i need within 50m of my flat :)
MJR_: I agree
jurov: i need to talk with someone who is interested in waht i do
jurov: well, mere "shared space" isn't what i need
MJR_: I think there is a huge untapped market for a more ubiquitous shared work space
