ThickAsThieves: free to play

ThickAsThieves: string, what do you think of Rift's current model

ThickAsThieves: michael chiklis was not a great thing

ThickAsThieves: even if it falls flat

ThickAsThieves: it's a great thing

ThickAsThieves: but in this case i think he'd be right

ThickAsThieves: regardless of anyone else's measure

ThickAsThieves: or have a way to portray it as a great success

ThickAsThieves: fat chance

ThickAsThieves: string argues that is not good enough

ThickAsThieves: that's my line

ThickAsThieves: about their methodology and path for the current game

ThickAsThieves: i just think your gloom and doom is misplaced or at least disproportionate

ThickAsThieves: he's THE game developer

ThickAsThieves: too many links!

ThickAsThieves: hehe

ThickAsThieves: sold!

ThickAsThieves: right

ThickAsThieves: except as an index

ThickAsThieves: right

ThickAsThieves: on other exchanges

ThickAsThieves: unit*

ThickAsThieves: the easiest would be an index fund, where i actually buy 1 of each stock and sell them as 1 index unti

ThickAsThieves: well there is more than one idea i have floating

ThickAsThieves: hehe

ThickAsThieves: i wish i bought more

ThickAsThieves: me too

ThickAsThieves: :)

ThickAsThieves: like an MPEX4 or such

ThickAsThieves: i'm interested in running some index funds eventually

ThickAsThieves: how does an index stock handle value when new assets are listed/de-listed?

ThickAsThieves: yet leave IRC logging on perpetually

ThickAsThieves: seems odd to disappear without a trace

ThickAsThieves: didn't smickles used to play midmarket?

ThickAsThieves: :)

ThickAsThieves: the price of public service sure has gone up!

ThickAsThieves: or is he simply too worried about flash crashes and such

ThickAsThieves: so if more backing bonds were purchased, might he lower prices?

ThickAsThieves: and why

ThickAsThieves: is maybe his own analysis says that lower prices are too risky

ThickAsThieves: the second reason, which begs more thought,

ThickAsThieves: and can't make money

ThickAsThieves: and then he did

ThickAsThieves: he didnt wanna change the algo when he was losing money

ThickAsThieves: even to himself

ThickAsThieves: first being that MP simply hates being"wrong"

ThickAsThieves: i think that reason is just an extension of one of two possible real reasons

ThickAsThieves: you think?

ThickAsThieves: assuming you have some confidence in the bots pricing

ThickAsThieves: as worst case

ThickAsThieves: you could always base it on the bot's buy price\

ThickAsThieves: no guarantee of selling all your Puts

ThickAsThieves: but you need both ends to be dynamic right?

ThickAsThieves: ah

ThickAsThieves: so you'll create an inverse deal on the other end?

ThickAsThieves: the premium is, i guess

ThickAsThieves: there's no interest to carry here

ThickAsThieves: seems mor elike gambling to me

ThickAsThieves: like price manipulation

ThickAsThieves: new issues arise if you become a target though

ThickAsThieves: i think you're okay

ThickAsThieves: if you can properly cover your ass, and only intend to offer small amounts in mid-market

ThickAsThieves: ok

ThickAsThieves: to average them

ThickAsThieves: but that seems to be too simple

ThickAsThieves: or whether*

ThickAsThieves: is why you might be wrong

ThickAsThieves: so i think what you are really looking for

ThickAsThieves: it is new

ThickAsThieves: i think it is neither

ThickAsThieves: i dont think time decay is built in but its possible his volatility portion of the algo outweights it

ThickAsThieves: dynamic to the vwap

ThickAsThieves: and open to adjustment like every 10min or so

ThickAsThieves: option prices are dynamic

ThickAsThieves: np

ThickAsThieves: i have not gone backward

ThickAsThieves: and linked to me

ThickAsThieves: i read everything posted anew

ThickAsThieves: most

ThickAsThieves: well

ThickAsThieves: subscribe to that vision that is

ThickAsThieves: but it's quite interesting to me that no one else does

ThickAsThieves: hehe

ThickAsThieves: i believe yoU!

ThickAsThieves: but an eventual instrument for the wealthy?

ThickAsThieves: so you don't see bitcoin as a the populous currency of the future?

ThickAsThieves: nearly 500b in SDR now

ThickAsThieves: wiki says "Private parties do not hold or use them."

ThickAsThieves: looking up SDRs.... of course

ThickAsThieves: so btc is for the wealthy?

ThickAsThieves: you are saying my complaint is, damn the dollar is worth too much today

ThickAsThieves: but when i must pay my bills and buy things not available in btc, I then look to the exchange rate

ThickAsThieves: exchange rate still affects my wealth

ThickAsThieves: then what

ThickAsThieves: but if i turn all my dollars into btc

ThickAsThieves: fine,

ThickAsThieves: so my concern is for the dollar's value

ThickAsThieves: how does the exchange rate not matter?

ThickAsThieves: if i want to live the btc life

ThickAsThieves: i still can't make the jump to fiat value being irrelevant
