a new keyboard that has
a functioningspacebar
MJR_III: but how does that relate to
a tradeable asset?
mircea_popescu: ozonelayer from
a general pov tho, the best unit is THE unit, ie 1.
ozonelayer: mircea_popescu: ok. thanks. typically, options are usually in units of 100 of the underlying asset. just
a convention i believe (though SEC in the us may make this required...i'm not sure)
ozonelayer: hey all. I have
a question about mpex options. what is the size of each contract. 100BTC? I can't find this anywhere...
tiberiusiv: mircea:

a "bitcoin millionaire" when USD/BTC was 50
MJR_III: Thinker_ he has signed
a message with an address that has 20000 btc?

smickles: holy crap, mpexbot took 20 gig in
a second and then upstream cut them off

a very fine evening and be back later.
dub: we haven't heard from Amir in

a fuckup, he was behind intersango
MJR_III: "Taaki is
a speaker of Esperanto" srsly?
dub: in that if you don't already know what

Bugpowder: coinlab does have the potential to become even more of
a clusterfuck than coinbase

a joke (for now), coinbase is
a clusterfuck

a little more apparent water in btc than irl because there's fewer people in btc

a massive margin
MJR_III: try to know
a little more than the next guy
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder actually... the russians found something like three tons under
a lake.
MJR_III: i guess the overall point to take away is invest what you want and get the returns you can...try to learn the risks, but you will NEVER have
a risk free investment and you will never have perfect information
Bugpowder: are you using
a cost based pricing model instead of
a price based costing model?
Bugpowder: assuming its
a J color, and lets say SI2
MJR_III: (k)In the case where MPOE, after having paid the interest as detailed above as well as all costs and fees resulting from contracts purchases and executions will be found to have
a shortfall, that shortfall will be applied to the capital of the bonds deposited that were accepted proportionally, so that each bond is reduced by the same ratio as the ratio between the shortfall and the
mircea_popescu: how much is
a 2 carat, sdlightly yellow, princess cut no impurities diamond worth ?

mircea_popescu: "MagicalTux already explained that he is writing
a entirely new site that is decent and not
a stupid magic the gathering trading script. "
Bugpowder: mircea_popescu: Did they wire in over $10k at
a time?
Bugpowder: Bitcoin is just such
a stunning example of how profitable it can be to be an early adopter of something, on some many levels.
Bugpowder: its really
a system of haves and have nots. People with verified gox accounts that aren't scared by filling out
a wire form or put off by paying
a $30 fee, or have
a bitcoins direct account... Those are the haves. Then there are the people that use coinbase or are sitting in the verification queue.
Bugpowder: yah, I was afraid it would be
a PITA and I'd be behind 5500 accounts waiting verification
mircea_popescu: as far as i know you're the only person with
a positive experience with them.
smickles: it hits me about 12 times

a resolution within 20 minutes. Remaining cases are when there is not enough information, or when issues are not simple user-specific issues (or linked to an outage)."
MJR_III: not
a big fan of apache...its ok
mircea_popescu: they're prolly going to move it on
a separate machine seeing how i the "how mpex does it" article made the rounds
mircea_popescu: MJR_III because they run
a webserver on the same machine
dub: you could basically stop trading with
a handfull of accounts
dub: I was trying to think of
a way that gox can be gamed through its shithouse engine
MJR_III: been
a trading movie kind of day
Bugpowder: I can test in
a few days when I dump another batch at $97. :)
dub: isn't dice price
a reflection of random market killing acts by its issuer?
MJR_III: he is
a HUGE proponent of efficient market
mircea_popescu:
a restatement of the efficient market theory, which is broken even in fiat.
mircea_popescu: "mjr: if satoshidice future was more certain, the price would reflect it, it doesnt." << well, this is fundamentally
a broken argument.
mircea_popescu: but they can't publish that as it'd tell
a real sad story.
MJR_III: in some ways it makes more sense to think of SDICE as
a private equity stake
mircea_popescu: s.dice paid ~70k btc in
a year and the average mkt cap past month is 500k
MJR_III: actually they should have claimed that it was
a liquidable asset
mircea_popescu: so in
a very macro sense you are better off as
a portofolio investor with the "have to sell ot realise" paradigm, as inconvenient as it is
MJR_III: mircea_popescu: i agree...but i don't like having to sell
a position to take profits
smickles: i was
a bit of
a troll at some points MJR_III ;)
Bugpowder: dividends make sense if you have
a strong income flow but not
a good plan for applying that capital to company growth
Bugpowder: tiberisuiv is
a little puppy, very excited about all these new ideas bitcoin has put in his head.
mircea_popescu: smickles my npd goes as such : yest told waitress she has
a beautiful smile and it's
a pleasure to talk to her which made her smile compulsively like an idiot every time she saw me and then gave her
a nice tip. today cooked pasta and had jasmine tea (4 cups). so you tell me.
