mircea_popescu: smickles i just dug up oix to see wtf.
gribble: _I_ don't know.
davos: Bowjob: I'd rather put money on satoshi being 2 or 3 people over in -dev
Bowjob: erm, i shoulda asked a yes or no q
gesell: dub: i agree. if it comes though it would be slowly and with a different label
gesell: dub: i dont think my statement disagress with that at all. just looking at new horizons for the experiment
Uglux: <satoshinakamoto> I'm back to save the day
Bowjob: Aight, I guaratneed 75 BTC to be sold at.. $2799
gesell: i wonder if apart from the discussion about soft limits, we will also start to see features that give more oversight and regulation, even if more symbolic than bernanke like. such letting bitcoin-dev patch or blacklist more quickly or perhaps at will
the-bucket-shop: blockchain.info is still scrolling satoshidice bets. I wonder which blockchain
smickles: gesell: i think most btc exchanges are anti-killswitch
Bowjob: I can sell coins now at 38.50 now
gesell: i dont know, im not a fan of kill switches so i'd like to see bitcoin-dev's learn from this so that similar bugs in the future can be handled without shutting anything down
pizzaman1337: I wish
Chaang-Noi: pigeons see my link, i found that helpful
mircea_popescu: smickles yeh. i wonder wtf.
Chaang-Noi: i should have shorted btc :)
mircea_popescu: and in exchange i settle puts in fiat in case of utter collapse

kakobrekla: pizzaman1337 i was just messing with gesell
mod6: i <3 gribble
pizzaman1337: kakobrekla: I'm not really relevant, but most of the time I'm over there
Chaang-Noi: okay, ill go pay insurance for my truck.. and ship off some wild honey... i need to get afk anyway:)
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi i would guess it will be solved within a couple of hourd.
pizzaman1337: Chaang-Noi: as soon as the 0.7 chain is longer, I think. Not sure how far behind it is.
Chaang-Noi: im pretty sure i know how this drama will play out
Bowjob: actually, I could sell a few coins and buy back cheaper
gesell: i shouldnt give any advice. i dont know jack. but i will hedge a little when it bottoms out anyway, for myself
Bowjob: All right, I'm not panicking. Stay frosty
smickles: mircea_popescu: i also have those p310t's i bought a while back
smickles: mircea_popescu: i bought them, if the bc,24hprc moves to the current spot, they break even
the-bucket-shop: I think s.dice and bitvps would benefit. except that s.dice money faucet is turned off.
ThickAsThieves: i spent all day buying ltc assets
ThickAsThieves: so in a situation like this, where the usd/btc may fall on confidence, am i safer being mostly invested in assets?
smickles: i see that as a goos ~8 btc spent
dub: but I want $2
mircea_popescu: oh i see the girl is adequately incensed
the-bucket-shop: I'm trying to catch up
the-bucket-shop: hold on if I'm still not upgraded I can sell something?
Bowjob: what i paid for
the-bucket-shop: still 25 coins every 10 minutes as far as I know. long term should be good gesell
Bowjob: pull put. i'll sell 200 BTC for 8k
pizzaman1337: well, I can't wait to get myself some cheap coins if it drops
Bowjob: I'm dropping down 200 BTC
dub: I think $10 might be a bit bullish
mircea_popescu: yeah, outlook is a little bearish i guess
gesell: dub: perhaps i got the wrong term. if miners and merchants are told to wait, why not exchanges?
vampireb: ah good that i sold at 47. need to figure when to rebuy
mircea_popescu: (course i have the advantaghe that my system is designed so such things don't affect me)
benkay: i'm out. this shit's boring.
smickles: mircea_popescu: i know, but how would you be careful about it. seems binary to me
the-bucket-shop: I mean satoshidice can get famous off of this news
benkay: i'd take a bearish position on ltc, settled next month...
dub: I've only seen it >9000 once
vampireb: well guess what, that's why when I last time I met gavin he was looking to hire QA
vampireb: who? i dont know, satoshi?
vampireb: i dont have the context, but ok
mircea_popescu: smickles i think op was discussing shorting btc
smickles: well, if anyone want's to short s.mpoe, i have a fair amout of shares available
mircea_popescu: dja see what i did there ?
Bowjob: k thats all i care about
mircea_popescu: BitHub well... i have no idea.
vampireb: hmm? start what? i read pleter's explanation, what isnt clear?
Bowjob: Umm I'm using electrum does it run ot 0.08
kakobrekla: i mean bitcoind
mod6: i've got a chain that was last updated dec 29th...
Bowjob: I thought we're supposed to be unhackable and shit
smickles: i've got an uptodate .7 chain for s2cm funds
BitHub: to be honest i have noticed the lack of like really really god like programmers
mircea_popescu: when i told them they'll be pushed aside coupla months ago i guess they groked it
mircea_popescu: BitHub i'm not going to go into that level of detail.
Chaang-Noi: Ukto tell me more, i heart ltc
mircea_popescu: BitHub i'd be more than happy if the usual pompous idiots came out with an apology.
Bowjob: This is a huge blow to bitcoin. WTF I thought its supposed to be secure
Chaang-Noi: mp i sold 50k ltc yesterday for btc, odds on this being accepted?
Chaang-Noi: i have not made a btc payment for about 12 hours, will this make me saffer even if i use the new client?
Chaang-Noi: glad i has 150,000 as a back up crypto currancy
mircea_popescu: payins i mean. people paying them.
mircea_popescu: i imagine they only halted payouts
dub: and I'm now ready to buy a different house
ThickAsThieves: sooo what happens if i do this
mircea_popescu: i'm sick and tired of the young cocks circlejerk attitude.
dub: I think its too early to know if its bdb itself or bitcoins implementation
mircea_popescu: i'm askin.
dub: but I can see you are decided
mircea_popescu: tell them i expect an apology for this idiocy.
smickles: er, i called $2, hours ago
smickles: dub: i called 2 hours ago
smickles: i might need to fiddle with the 'abuse' configs
mircea_popescu: i still think my idea was the most elegant
smickles: yup, also, i added email service to mpexbot
smickles: well, kakobrekla if you think people are using it too often, let me know and I will switch it to pm response
mircea_popescu: well i guess it would, yeah.
mircea_popescu: reading a digest of the bitcoin-dev chan, i am struck by how incredibly pompous these people are.
benkay: maybe i alpha sort everything on the outfeed, huh?
mircea_popescu: i hear that, i'm thinking bitcoinica.
gesell: mircea_popescu: i cant wrap my head around how that would all play out. just assume before running any bot one would make comfortable limits, and some way to guage when things are getting out of control so you know when to turn off
gesell: mircea_popescu: what do you mean by fake trades? I think on btc24, unlike mtgox, if you buy your fiat gets locked and you cant make another order. same on sell. of course their own local bots could fake, but i could not prove this. and actually they wouldnt have to fake, if all they really want to do is some moderate protection from arbitrage
gesell: i swear to god they have their own bots running on the exchange. not sure what the objective is but see some bots responding with <200ms timing
