nanotube: (i.e., a lot of those guys count on people forgetting to cancel)
mjr_: and i know cron jobs :( so like i said we need a wallet with recurring payments
nanotube: though really i'm not sure i'd want to do any recurring payments automatically.
nanotube: mjr_: cool. /me doesn't use reddit, but i hear it's pretty big.
mjr_: i think if many people push to get online content providers to offer it
mjr_: i'm sure not everyone even uses reddit gold
Diablo-D3: I thought we already knew this?
mod6: wow. if that happens, i be buying.
maximian: I think with this news, it's going to $30 for sure
mjr_: oh wow, so asicminer is doing good i guess
Lyspooner: i'm trying to buy reddit gold with my bitcoin gems. someone help!
DeadWeasel: I need a good spank!
DeadWeasel: i know we don't know, but what does your gut expect/
mjr_: i love these exchanges
DeadWeasel: thank you for saying that, i always get itchy trigger finger in these wild swings. I'm such an emotional woman
mjr_: so much easier to front run :) i gotta get to work on this bot
mjr_: so i can take advantage of that offer sitting on the books
mjr_: i just got btc in camp bx now
mjr_: i want to move fast
B0g4r7_: I used btc-e a couple times to exchange for LTC. Had no issues.
mjr_: i've used bitinstant, local, bitfloor, and soon camp bx
mjr_: i don't use mt. gox
mjr_: they have the best prices always i think
mjr_: i wish i could trust btc-e
B0g4r7_: I was pleased to discover that once I had it talking to one exchange's API, it "just worked" with 3 others with no changes.
mjr_: cuz i can transfer between these two relatively easily
B0g4r7_: I had the beginnings of a bot.
mjr_: i'm showing the arbitrage opportunity that exists right now
B0g4r7_: I'll buy your 10 coins for $26.65.
mjr_: also...i find that these exchanges are much easier to arb
DeadWeasel: seems like a bot,i've got no way to know.
DeadWeasel: the one I assume is a bot because I see a .13 sell every 6 or 8 transactions, sometimes 3 in a row at .002 less than the last.
mjr_: i don't understand the voucher system and why we need an extra layer of annoyance
mjr_: and i find their limits and fees onerous
mjr_: i think a bunch of small local exchanges is better for the ecosystem
mircea_popescu: mt gox has something like over half, i think
mjr_: and i have no interest in cash
mjr_: but i can drop off anonymously
mjr_: i think
mjr_: i think having 80% of volume go through mt.gox is insane
mjr_: i kinda want to help bring volume for many reasons
DeadWeasel: I'm a good guy, send me btc
mjr_: so, maybe a little riskier, but also i've emailed the guy and erik said he is a good guy, so i feel somewhat comfortable with it
mjr_: i mean, for me...i can drop off cash on the corner, have it in the account in a half hour, get PAID to trade (liquidity rebates) and don't have to use Mt. Gox (best reason)
DeadWeasel: i mean, Gox got hit hard.
mjr_: and i think he has started
mjr_: yeah, i don't know if i will leave btc overnight
DeadWeasel: well, i'll just watch for now, thanks mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: so, i wouldn't keep btc there. but if you're ok with the risk, hey.
DeadWeasel: yeah, i will look more tonight.
mjr_: i'm just market making for fun right now
mjr_: and roman who runs it emailed me when i asked how long within 5 min
DeadWeasel: but they are open when I am at work.
DeadWeasel: i do.
DeadWeasel: nice, i just reg'd last night. didn't have time to explore.
mjr_: i got my money in there in a half hour with no ID, and i think a $2 fee
mjr_: i love it
mjr_: i'm actually reading "too big to fail" right now
mircea_popescu: depends. some things actually go out. that's why i picked leh.
mircea_popescu: i mean... sure, i made money long on LEH
mjr_: i'm down 4% on MPOE, i am going to double my position
mjr_: and i say you want me to flatten it?
mjr_: i have seen people call up to check a position
mjr_: and i see a lot of people do that
mircea_popescu: im not sure i dig this entire reason/emotion debate.
mjr_: i think everyone gives these people WAY too much credit
iz: well, i'm glad i could help illustate your point there then :D
mjr_: yeah...the prop traders i see...they are super inside
mircea_popescu: iz i was using that example deliberately :)
mod6: AMZN beat (barely iirc) and it went up a bunch too -- until the following week where exuberance dropped. I think traders were spooked by the -1.0% GDP print... and any good earnings news was like "heaven sent"
mjr_: i don't care, sell sell sell
mjr_: but i made more money than you expected
mjr_: still though, i sold a record # of widgets...ok you suck, we don't want your stock
mjr_: i personally wouldn't bet on direction
mjr_: how many times have i seen a company BEAT earnings and STILL get smoked
mjr_: i know a lot who do
mircea_popescu: mod6 i suspect they have some wicked tax avoidance idea they'll tery
mjr_: oh, i love the idea
mircea_popescu: i never understood the sense of it.
mjr_: i know
mircea_popescu: i know what it means
mircea_popescu: i never quite understood this taking private business.
mjr_: lol i think so
mircea_popescu: i was mostly into it to hedge
mjr_: i am not at all interested in mining hardware speculation, if they deliver they deliver
mircea_popescu: and by "thought" i mean swore their babies on
mjr_: which is down from where i bought it
mjr_: i also hold MPOE
mjr_: as opposed to just taking the ride on btc, i am basically doubling down my bet
mircea_popescu: well if you want to look art it this way, i was making bets on diff this year as far back as aug/sept 2012
mjr_: i am happy with that
mjr_: i hope to get 3% on my position
mircea_popescu: i can totally see it.
mjr_: so i am up in total by the combination of the two
mjr_: but that position is up...i got the bitcoins on average for 21.22 so that position is up
mjr_: yeah, if only i had gotten in then
mjr_: 0.0057 is what i got S.DICE for
mjr_: but still...these returns are great and that's before i have ever even received dividends
mjr_: i'm not saying there is NO correlation
mjr_: i'm up 6 or 7% on S.DICE
