jurov: and i personally wait for someone to aptly and comprehensively blog about them
mjr_: yeah, i realy like mpex
mjr_: i agree
Bugpowder: I think the shares are probably safer in MPs machine than in mine :-P
mjr_: but for the coins, i was thinking paper wallet in safe deposit box
mjr_: yeah no big deal, it is the most secure i've seen really
mjr_: i was planning on a paper wallet that i could continue to pour coins into, but would not be connected to anything
mjr_: but i have no issues with shares on mpex or coinbr
mjr_: i am planning on more of a buy and hold approach
mjr_: thanks i will look into it
jurov: btw, i think i left there commented js code to read mpex rss feed... so if anyone wants an example
jurov: then i'm interested
mjr_: i can try other web browsers if that would help
mjr_: i have to do it in the tiny sliver at the top in order to get to inspect element
mjr_: weirdly enough i can't right click on the area where the chart would be
mjr_: yeah i have a sreenshot if you wanna see
mjr_: it's the chart that is not loading so it could be a problem with my handling of svg i guess
mjr_: but if i close the inspect element, it doesn't load
mjr_: could be me, i just did inspect element and it pops up
jurov: mjr_: try sending screenshot, i'll look what else it can be
mjr_: and i have not seen any way to change those settings
mjr_: as far as i can see it just takes mt. gox
mircea_popescu: i thought it was pretty much user configured
mjr_: i really like the layout and design of clarkmoody
mjr_: i think there is some image which doesn't load and it blocks the actual symbols
mjr_: oh yeah i think i have been there but it never renders correctly
mjr_: i have not, i will take a look at it
mjr_: ok maybe a silly question but i don't think it was in the faq (i'll double check) is there a way to see level II info for the stocks?
mod6: But still, people have this kneejerk reaction about PGP. But I'm always like "But PGP is your friend!!"
mod6: I was going to add though, it is great to have a way to submit orders right through the textarea with the submit button. I used to do a lot of orders by hand until I wrote the perl thingy.
mjr_: i see no reason not to just hold it, but you could just get in and out on dividend day]
mjr_: i think its awesome that you can buy shares literally right before the dividend and still get them
mircea_popescu: i was expecting at least some unwind
evoorhees: yeah I don't know why people would wait to buy until after the dividend lol
JohnGalt49ers: I took 6k from him
mircea_popescu: course, since i was gonna have to pipe orders in somehow
mod6: I mean, it exists as a way for people to go, "Oh hey! It exists!"
mod6: I've never quite understood why people feel so but hurt about the website. I mean, its really just a formality. It doesn't even need a website! lol
mod6: pizzaman1337: yup, i've implemented a way... i started off trying to do some other ways, like a keystore, etc.. but that didn't work out.
mod6: i have a ton of work done already for an Android version. its called BitOTTer... http://www.bitotter.com
mod6: one thing im gonna work on today is wrapping up json stat stuff. but then i gotta get that encryption stuff wrapped up.
mircea_popescu: smickles i think racist is what pinkos call people who call them pinkos
smickles: hmm, i don't recall that article being much about race
mircea_popescu: maximian i think a few people
maximian: "oh my god, MPEx is the geekiest stock exchange I've ever seen. you have to send commands via command line? no web interface?" << this is actually what attracted me to mpex!
JohnGalt49ers: yeah that's more sophisticated then what I had in mind
smickles: i think this is what i was talking about https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Contracts#Example_7:_Rapidly-adjusted_.28micro.29payments_to_a_pre-determined_party
mircea_popescu: it's funny tho, why am i an asshole
smickles: JohnGalt49ers: like via private key transfer? (what I was talking about is more complicated, and a lot more secure than that. I'll see if i can find the link)
smickles: it's only been done as 'proof of work', so far as i know tho
mjr_: i think that is also very true
mjr_: thanks smickles, i thought that was a very nice response
mjr_: ah i had one other question/issue that i wanted to throw out here
mjr_: well that is what i love about this community, very grass roots
mircea_popescu: i didn't get that last q.
mircea_popescu: but there's a BIG lesson in here. think about it : i have technoklogy that allows me to do what they do much cheaper.
mircea_popescu: yeah. this would not be feasible if i tried to do it like it;'s currently done in the fiat finance world.
mircea_popescu: i think so too.
mjr_: i think it is a clean and very secure system
mircea_popescu: but i don't see many people bothering, no. there's no benefit
mjr_: well that is what i meant...what if he doesn't pass on the messsage?
mircea_popescu: so now. if i want to talk to all the users on mpex, i could just post a long file, made out of bits, each encrypted with a user's signature.
mjr_: and i took a look
mircea_popescu: mjr_ : if i wanted it to take multiple hops, i would be vulnerable to MitM and phishing right? << wrong
mjr_: is this how VPN would work too? unless i'm mistaken, i believe a VPN is encrypted (or can be)
mjr_: because only you can make sense of the message, since the message is encrypted...or am i mixing up my OSI model here :)
mjr_: mirceau_popescu: upon furthor thought, i think that what you have set up IS the equivalent of a circuit...ie. you can verify communication between you and someone else, but i don't think it could work as a broadcast type message (i may be wrong) if i wanted it to take multiple hops, i would be vulnerable to MitM and phishing right?
mjr_: oh by the way...i found the url to the site that i want to get to start taking bitcoins...
mjr_: oh ok, i was going to say, i don't see the real point of an etf at the moment
smickles: or 'i don't understand why you use gpg'
mjr_: ok, i missed that discussion
mjr_: maybe chats i missed here, but i would say he has the equivalent of AAA credit within bitcoin
mjr_: that i've read on a forum
mjr_: the closest i ever read was sock puppet on SA..but that wasn't even really saying anything bad
smickles: < mjr_> like for example...i don't think i have ever read one negative article about mpex or mirceau_popescu <<< lolwut?
mjr_: so i would say most people would trust him
smickles: i think there are a few things which use the m-of-n signature txns, but i've not seen any of the contracts or conditional sends
mjr_: like for example...i don't think i have ever read one negative article about mpex or mirceau_popescu
gesell: i think google is starting to seriously throttle my all my google code since i put the arbitrage spreadsheet on reddit :/
smickles: I'm sure there is/are for relatively small amounts
mircea_popescu: malaimo i have my doubts about that.
mjr_: i think what will have to happen is that you will have to use current practices, but denominate loans in btc
mjr_: Amadeo Giannini i would like to be like this guy
mjr_: well, i really look forward to wider acceptance, and hopefully larger holdings for me...
mjr_: that's what i meant
mjr_: mirceau_popescu: also, I love how you mention NYSE as underdog
mircea_popescu: i like how that thing is getting upvoted into a frenzy
mjr_: even though i think scalping is almost dead
mircea_popescu: but yeah, i lay no claim to genius on the "not instacancellable" part. ffs it's beyond obvious.
mjr_: total bs, and i don't know how you would do that
mircea_popescu: i mean... oral sex seems the HARD THING,
mjr_: i was going to ask about speed of executions...
mjr_: and i think you are doing things the Right Way
mjr_: i agree completely that encryption is vital
mjr_: yes, i just mean that typically pgp is not the easiest thing for most people
mircea_popescu: i would expect that encryption stays with the person.
mircea_popescu: and i say it's the Right Thing.
mircea_popescu: everyone is currently doing the former. i am doing the later
mjr_: kinda...i think it is mostly for reliabilty and just plain access
mjr_: just curious, because most big markets and banks do that...so i don't know how phishing can interfere in those cases, obviously customer on online banking website is vulnerable
