jurov: and
i personally wait for someone to aptly and comprehensively blog about them
mjr_: yeah,
i realy like mpex
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
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
evoorhees: yeah
I don't know why people would wait to buy until after the dividend lol
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: 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
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: 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: 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.
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.
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
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
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: 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
