jurov: i don't think mpex will be able to afford laying fiber even to biggest customers in near future
mjr_: i mean, the endpoints are fixed, and don't most banks rely on them, in colocations and carrier hotels?
mjr_: that makes sense then that i didn't understand it...i have to deal with databases a lot and they can be a pain
mjr_: i'm not sure i understood how you were fixing that issue
mjr_: but i can change that
mircea_popescu: course i guess topace hasn't been on in a little
smickles: http://trilema.com/2013/mpex-tech-stuff/#footnote_0_45984 makes the fee i paid worth it :)
jurov: Our many and talented graphical artists are hard at work refining the abyssal beauty that is MPEx.co, and I dare not interrupt them.
evoorhees: not sure I'd want to advocate it as a mixer
mjr_: why are people doubting delivery? i'm just curious, i thought the first ones already were delived...
jurov: i did not notice the "Open" choice is by default on bitbet search
mjr_: http://www.universa.net/ just read the front page...i think i might have better luck with email...though i am pretty sure i'll get filtered out quickly
mjr_: in fact, i wonder if universa capital (his investment fund) would be interested lol
mircea_popescu: hey, ask him. i'd be interested too.
mjr_: and i would be extremely interested to know what Taleb Nassim thinks about btc
mjr_: i'm not finished with it, but i think so far that it is very interesting when looked at through the eyes of a bitcoiner
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder very institutional-like investors i guess
jurov: maybe, i don't remember, but only this one was found.
mjr_: 4 days i will be ready to invest
jurov: how comes i unexpectedly received something and the address points to http://bitbet.us/bet/131/btc-will-have-a-new-highest-price-in/ ?
mjr_: wish i had bitcoins now
mjr_: that book touches a lot of interesting points, but i think it's tamest assertion is that a country is only as strong as it's monetary supply
assbot: I don't know those people, and they don't look very friendly.
mjr_: i think snowcrash is going to be somewhat of a prophecy at this point lol
mjr_: i would take it seriously, and i would adapt
mjr_: but i don't think that means it won't succeed
mjr_: i think banks will not like it very much, nor would governments if taken to its logical conclusion...
mjr_: i thought the argument was "will it succeed", the results of it are different for each person
mjr_: i guess...
mjr_: i don't see how they could talk about it at all
mjr_: but i don't think they would be able to be as smug at 40....
mjr_: i agree
mjr_: rationality says i bet with my money and they bet with theirs...the outcome will be objective
mjr_: and i don't really care about sa...
mircea_popescu: nice is one way to put it. from what i've seen in sa's digests, it burns some people
mjr_: this is the biggest distributed computing project in human history i imagine
mjr_: this is like the matrix...i can only imagine (if the asics turn out to be widespread) just how many petaflops we will reach
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform good, then i can point out why the theory is nonsense on fresh data.
evoorhees: I think the most exciting thing is that this rediculous numbers will get the attention of established gambling sites, and they will no longer ignore bitcoin
mjr_: so great to see such a success story...and i think the future looks even brighter
Bugpowder: can i get a hells yeah?
smickles: heh, i guess there was ambiguity in that last line of mine
smickles: especially if you condider what I got for what value i gave up at the time
smickles: mircea_popescu: yeah, it's more about the disconnected thought of 'what if I had that btc now'
smickles: I just realized that I paid 33~ btc for one year of this vps back when btc was around 4 bucks
mircea_popescu: i recall.
pigeons: i was trying to use margin!
jurov: I won't speak for Ukto just I think he'll keep the exchange privately owned atm. me with coinbr likewise.
dust-otc: I believe his behavior deserves one, but he doesn't owe me any money
bowjob: I'll buy something called hold, it costs nothing and it's done me good so far.
bowjob: Fuck this shit. I'm too tired. I've been awake for nearly 36 hours, I've spent the majority of the time walking around. Congrats to the (un)fortunate fucker who will get my spot.
bowjob: I'm already willing to throw 80 BTC to some potential scam and yet they can't set up a way to facilitate the transfer
pigeons: i will buy 2nd hand asics from the people who borrowed on their credit cards to buy them and underestimated the difficulty rise or don't getthem soon enough
bowjob: that way I got my ass covered
bowjob: of course not. i'll wait for them to fix it before provably throwing away 80 BTC
leotreasure: should i pay?
bowjob: it sys i have 3 asics wtf
Ukerz: yeah ,its 8am, i'm pretty friggen tired
bowjob: i feel rather disrispected that i stayed up all night and they cant even set up a pre order properly. wtf
Ukerz: I think Yifu did th ebetter trollig job
bowjob: when i read your comment, I thought someone fat fingered S.dice again
mircea_popescu: jesus fuck i guessed it!
bowjob: For instance, I got some at xx48, price is now xx73 ... thats like having lots of asics mining and appreciating on value
bowjob: I meant the price appreciation over the past month. ^
mircea_popescu: i don't see how sdice and asics would be similar investments.
bowjob: I'm currently long BTC, long S.Dice 50/50 split. I'd rather not disrupt that ratio.. and I took the Avalon into account
bowjob: Well, owning S.Dice shares is like owning ASICs.. and I have some of those
bowjob: I'll look into what delays the shipment, see if I can get any answers from Yifu before they go on sale
bowjob: I'd consider Avalon to be a 1/6 confirmation phase.
mircea_popescu: i am not buying any asics.
bowjob: i dont think waiting is really an option.. that 600 unit order will get eaten
bowjob: mhm, yes i see that.
mircea_popescu: bowjob i have serious doubts about avalon. so far as best we can determine they have not delivered.
bowjob: I'm not sure how much the shipping is gonna be..
bowjob: I expect around 58 TH by the time i get mine
bowjob: I'm not sure if the price includes shipping or not.
bowjob: I had 80 BTC set aside for Asic.. in case it goes down a bit.. but not this much!
bowjob: i did not see this dump coming.. wow fuck.
Namworld: I do. Many others do.
Namworld: I heard it's a joke or something
mircea_popescu: i wonder what zombie napoleon does for a living.
mircea_popescu: why can't i be a sockpuppet for someone fun
Namworld: Oddly, I thought about Mircea Popescu being the sock puppet instead when MPOE-PR was accused of being a sock puppet
mircea_popescu: The brilliant Bitcoin detectives thought that there was only one person who was a guy (Mircea, which is a guy's name in Romanian) and he was just using a lady's picture as a sock. I am willing to believe they got it exactly backwards, and that she just made up "Mircea Popescu" as a sock.
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu, who runs MPOE, is a guy. The MPOE-PR woman was accused of being his sock, but I think she just does all the English-language business for him (he's Romanian).
mircea_popescu: It's like they want to scare away anyone serious about using Bitcoins as a currency, I wonder how much longer that woman who runs the (last standing) trading platform will put up with their dumb poo poo. She's hardly some great pillar of sanity since she's all wrapped up in Bitcoins too but she seems to be trying to be serious about things yet they want to shout her down. I am guessing it is because she is a woman.
mircea_popescu: i don't have it i read digests.
Namworld: I won't browse the whole 300 pages to find whatever post you're talking about =P
gesell: aah, no it was the very odd huge 40eu range bid somewhere (glitch i guess)
gesell: okay, this is the price chart of 5d for bitcoin-24. http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/chart.png?m=btc24EUR&v=1&t=S&noheader=1&height=80&width=750&r=5 its the only one ive seen like this. not huge volume but as much as many others and yet it is soooo level. I swear, many times ive seen bots respond to my bid, in less than <500ms latency. Im convinced the owners of the exchange have a bot at play on the exchange to keep prices close to mtgox or level or i do
mjr_: i already included mpex registration in the prospectus lol :)
mjr_: so i think it might work
mjr_: yeah i know, but i am only trying to raise like 100k
mjr_: i will look into that, i have no clue what that is
jurov: i herd moneypaks are popular there
mjr_: how would i pay?
mjr_: i am not trying to trade, just trying to buy bitcoins
mjr_: no, i don't plan on having money in there overnight is what i was saying
mjr_: i don't know
mjr_: but like i said, i don't plan on keeping money in there
