a nerd/geek sport, watching the btc ticker?

a complete shitbag like gmax
dub: 'everyone here sayys im

truffles: {gmaxwell} There is this great concept in social sciences called evaporative cooling, where people drive out everyone who isn’t likeminded making
a more and more homogeneous group.>>>> i guess thats what this channel aims for
mircea_popescu: yeah, to pour
a liquid, to pore over
a text/collection

a cool backing for their name ?
thestringpuller: As coffeehouses were frequented
a lot for the latest news.
mircea_popescu: and if there's
a superservant avatar, the gheisha is it.
mircea_popescu: and in general, whenever someone is willing to play the superservant, his thing will be
a hub of conversation.
mircea_popescu: it's
a fact tho. for the past year or so kakobrekla has been acting the superservant, and as
a result the chan came to dominate bitcoin discussion.
mircea_popescu: which happens to be
a pretty smart way to look at life and everything.
mircea_popescu: this channel is pretty much the best venue in all of bitcoin, in spite of there being no mods and nobody giving
a shit
mircea_popescu: that channel has gone pretty much to shit, in spite of
a lot of rules,
a lot of dicking about and
a lot of nonsense.
mircea_popescu: more than
a year ago i left bitcoin-otc over
a dispute about moderation.
thestringpuller: fiat500: this channel is for bitcoin finance;
a lot has been discussed here, you just have to sit and listen
Willdude123: I now have bought
a sensible amount of shares of asicm. I have 0.13
gribble: smickles was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 6 weeks, 4 days, 5 hours, 30 minutes, and 23 seconds ago: <smickles>
a bitcoin atm could be the easiest way to send money to
a friend, each of you just goes to an atm
deadweasel: i don't want to carry
a whole computer around all the time
deadweasel: i'd just get
a prepaid old school nokia
deadweasel: ThickAsThieves, i keep waiting to get
a new phone and they just keep getting better, so I wait.
ThickAsThieves: I want
a Nexus S4 but the size of
a Note 2 and
a battery that lasts 3 days
b0n1: hey guys! I just recognized that i still have an old pending pre order for
a bfl 60 ghs miner for the old price of only 1300 $. Would you buy it when they ship to the end of april?
aknap3: hey, maybe it's
a put executing :)
jurov: litecoin hashrate jumped up
a bit, peaked 2 days ago
deadweasel: kakobrekla, good read. i doubt there will be much bitcoin-tourism just yet, but
a few more FinCen fuck ups and we might.
ThickAsThieves: it's an interesting turn for Canada, they could benefit greatly from being the un-USA in
a lot of ways
deadweasel: he's
a prostitute that sets up your email.
jborkl: wait, are you
a prostitue?
deadweasel: cointaind, sounds like
a daemon for something interesting.
deadweasel: In my job just now, I was writing up
a defect, and I wrote 'cointained' instead of 'contained'.
ThickAsThieves: it's probably
a pita to code it just so gribble sees options differently
aknap3: it's
a stupid setup the way options are reported
fiat500: so its
a non-negligible amount of money
fiat500: i borrowed $20k on margin for
a long position
a few days ago, made $1700 but also had to pay $200 swap
mircea_popescu: afaik this was discussed in the forum fiat500. the blowout rate was like 30%, making any interest under 5k pa or so
a losing proposition.
fiat500: variable interest rate nets >70% p.
a b0n1: what would you say is
a fair rate for lending btc short?
mircea_popescu: that's why it's not legally surprising
a bank takes its depositor funds. they are unsecured creditors. the bank is the owner of all funds deposited by anyone.
mircea_popescu: hehe. it is
a good thing. and you are exactly correct, by thwe way, it's
a point few people understand
mircea_popescu: <jurov> okay to me it looks like
a loan. and borrower thus owns the coins, with purported obligation to fullfill some conditions later << methinks j man has been doing
a lot of reading up lately.
fiat500: im not talking about obligations here, im saying it is weird that holders of COGNITIVE, whose interests are
a quick payoff, get to decide how the money provided by COG.F investors is spent
jurov: okay to me it looks like
a loan. and borrower thus owns the coins, with purported obligation to fullfill some conditions later
fiat500: rather than leave it to the unwashed masses in COGNITIVE whose interests are
a quick payoff
fiat500: Chaaang-Noi: i think maybe COG.F shareholders deserve
a say in how their money is spent
fiat500: anyone know whats up with bitvps, these guys cant turn
a profit it seems, lol
fiat500: thats
a dark way of looking at it
fiat500: many people want
a time machine to go back in time, at present, i would like
a time machine to send me forward
a few months

a valid command.

a stable career so I wont go bankrupt
ericmuyser: I sold it all and moved to japan, so ya i'm sittin on
a shitty $25 chair
ericmuyser: should have put this in btc haha but regardless.. losing $90
a month.. i can make more than that on the market

a no brainer though, ure going to be balls deep in that
truffles: id make it
a lot but im the only one who likes it in the house

a halluciogenic trip before your feet rot off.
