a hard time btc->usd/euro/whatever huh
MJR_: but,
a snapshot is always subjective
MJR_: I will go on
a mini retirement week after next
jurov: now i see why some people can't call longer vacation
a vacation, they instead say "mini-retirement"
MJR_: and admire her for being able to stand writing on that hell hole of
a forum
jurov: she can be featured in
a box next to story as "most reviled PR ever or so"
jurov: that *will* be
a story
MJR_: I told him that there was
a story no ones really ran with
kakobrekla: i was accually dislecit for
a long time
ThickAsThieves: WTB Bulk ASICMINER shares, also interested in
a steady supplier if anyone is interested.
BitHub: just
a lil crazy but there's alot of genius mixed in
BitHub: i'm thinking to go there for
a week and check it out
BitHub: i swear once
a weeks there'
a new trick to preorder with bfl
jurov: mircea_popescu: actually, it won't be bad idea to say on invitation "you can search connection to budapest, there will be
a shuttle at XX:00 hour"
[\]: have you seen what happens when you get into
a car with strangers?
jurov: omg what
a freudian slip.. i meant:
mircea_popescu: he was expecting everyone to buiy it up to 100k per btc by xcmas
a few weeks ago
ThickAsThieves: i can say i have yet to sell
a share for less than 10% profit
ThickAsThieves: really i just didnt think about it, and mIRC has
a nifty connect/disconnect button
ThickAsThieves: WTB ASICMINER shares in bulk for
a good price, pm with offer
mircea_popescu: you know this is pretty cool,
a few people already stated they're coming next year.
mircea_popescu: there's never
a shortage of people who, if forced to eat shit by the spoon, would rather claim this savarine is wonderful
mircea_popescu: "An analysis of Iksil's trades revealed that he was using Microsoft Excel excessively, making
a number of formula errors that caused him to underestimate the risks of his positions."
mircea_popescu: they are there working dilligently at
a bad definition of what the job is.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which is why i didn't consider it originally. but on
a purely semantic basis it has to be pointed out.
jurov: obv but that's
a consequence, not
a cause
[\]: mircea_popescu: is that my invitation to be
a VIP? ;)
BitHub: that is
a good goal :)
BitHub: so i guess 3btc
a share at some point this year is doable?
Chaaang-Noi: no one has to get permission to run
a pt cuz they are not really selling AM shares
Chaaang-Noi: the investors would be very upset if their shares were moved to mpex, however im sure if you wanted to do
a pt no one would care
Chaaang-Noi: what exactly does the vip get other than
a bill and
a title?
davout: Chaaang-Noi: looks like
a functional brain will be required to attend
Chaaang-Noi: sure 3 to 6 months is fine, but
a year :) people will forget
davout: Chaaang-Noi: thinking about it, it wouldn't be that hard, would simply mean you'd have to craft different txes spending the same coins, to different recipients, that you know are on different branches, and broadcast them in
a controlled way, the last part sounds like it'd be the hardest
davout: they can be spent once, each time on one branch, but that's only sort of
a double-spend
davout: KRS1: transactions don't get lost, in case of
a chain fork they should get included in both chains
mircea_popescu: there is however
a messaging system build into most clients, to notify merchants if there's
a split etc.
mircea_popescu: it's
a moneybags issue, and who's to say they don't have
a plan ?
mircea_popescu: the drop from 260 to 100 was certainly an investment. people lost money in order to prove bitcoin is not
a pump asnd dump.
KRS1: so its still
a nasty situation..sounds sugar coated
KRS1: kind of like
a stock split
KRS1: and
a split on the price
mircea_popescu: as
a result prices will rapidly diverge, panicking the mass of users, and the fork is economically resolved.
KRS1: my bfl rig should be here in
a couple of weeks..wish the goddamn difficulty would drop or something.
ThickAsThieves: lol, people are still bidding on those AM blades knowing auction is over, in hopes of forming
a queue for next offering
KRS1: like Luke-Jr who say
a 51% attack of LTC will happen with
a few FPGA's
ThickAsThieves: maybe dev should come with
a plan in the case of
a real fork
Chaaang-Noi: well, maybe i got lucky, i dont give
a fuck
Chaaang-Noi: but wtf am i going to do with
a dirt house in germany?
Chaaang-Noi: my 5k usd investment would not be worth 957,000 at current prices, but i ahve been slowly selling all the way up so no, i dont have
a million in AM (oh but shit, forgot about all the dividends,that is just stock price)
Chaaang-Noi: even if i had that to spend on
a car id not
KRS1: yeh..its
a new rap song too.
KRS1: Chaang-Noi be like..."I WOKE UP IN
A NEW BUGATTI"
KRS1: usually..i stepped up the ante
a bit lately though.
Chaaang-Noi: krs1 k5 usd worth of AM at ipo is worth about
a million or so now
Chaaang-Noi: i could care less what people think about me, im
a fucking goat!
mircea_popescu: back to the matter at hand : pumping is
a bad idea. universally.
KRS1: wait..you can turn fifty bucks into
a million with this bitcoin stuff
Chaaang-Noi: i turned 5k usd into
a millionn, so the fuck what?
mircea_popescu: which is why only new people give
a shit what you think.
Chaaang-Noi: well mp, i could give
a flying fuck and think you are just jelly :)
mircea_popescu: not everybody is desperately trying to turn their fifty bucks into
a million.
Chaaang-Noi: mp who cares what
a company pays out, im talking about making the most btc per money invested (what is better 5 btc on 1 btc invested or 234095834 on 340958039458908345098304958093459034 invested?
mircea_popescu: asicminer is
a. never got that much invested ; b. never got that much traded in its lifetime history ; c. barely paid 10% of that in dividends so far.
Chaaang-Noi: i know, that is why i said i will come back in
a yeah and lulz
Chaaang-Noi: mp AM will in its lifetime pay shit loads more than sdice as
a percentage of money invested
Chaaang-Noi: am has been paying out for 2 months, sdice for
a year, but like i said, come back in
a year andsee what is up :)
mircea_popescu: the funny thing with Chaaang-Noi is that math illiterate people are equally likely to blow
a degree of magnitude either direction
