mjr__: i honestly think it may even be a partly subconscious effect whereby without concsciously realizing it, you know that saving is stupid when the value goes down so rapidly
Chaang-Noi: i sold a bit today
ThickAsThieves: from the looks of their promo photos, you have to look pretty hip to own a pair
mjr__: and i saw a picture of sergey brin on the subway in nyc wearing them
ThickAsThieves: you were this close to a scammer tag
BitHub: they do a few countries
BitHub: its a place to buy bitcoins from
mircea_popescu: I am done using this site. When you place a bet with a professional you want to be paid when the bet has resolved. Not when someone is good and ready to pay you. Mircea Popescu is a no better than any scammer before him."
jcpham: like a cartoon
mircea_popescu: a kk
thestringpuller: if within a few weeks’ time you find yourself in the position of having to decide whether a few million dollars go to a. free drinks and garter inserts at a number of strip clubs or to b. coinbase “second round of funding”, the correct business decision is certainly a. At least the strippers can actually provide an answer should anyone happen to ask “what the fuck are you doing”. <<< I think many VC's w
ThickAsThieves: but sure has a lot of people chatting
pigeons: not a problem
Chaang-Noi: horse meat is cheap if it comes from a horse no one wants
thestringpuller: June is a far away mr. popescu
thestringpuller: 's too much of a futures bet

mircea_popescu: http://blockchain.info/tx-index/57549811/c6258eff0639d758015ed5dcdd8a1f1dcf7580ac833d52336b6ec4469f9281b5 and a 2.8kb tx with 0 fees ahaha
Zillion: thats a BTC short for me???
mircea_popescu: sorry for the delay everyone. bitcoind is not yet exactly mature, needs a little expert oiling
mjr__: if their account approaches insolvency they should get a margin call
mircea_popescu: anyway, certainly a valid development direction, this.
pigeons: i dont mind being force liquidated as long as you give it a cute nickname like "starfished" or "juroved"
mircea_popescu: paying a fixed fee per week makes sense
mjr__: i meant a more automated system, yes Jurov and collects a portion of the interest or fees i generate
thestringpuller: jurov you should add a shorting pool
mircea_popescu: this may be a decent line of business
jurov: i understood mjr__ looks for a broker he'll just push the shares to and broker does the legwork
mircea_popescu: possibly for a fee tho
mjr__: mircea_popescu: I would rather have my shares in a pool for lending with the understanding that the guy has to have assets to back it up. Similar to bitfinex's system
Zillion: very new to all this if that is a dumb question
Zillion: thank ya sir...sorry, patience never been a strong suit for me
splnkr: yeah i guess if you're going to jump down a rabbit hole it might as well be the one with the most potential to lead somewhere better
splnkr: it's a joke and i don't care to stick around for the punchline
pigeons: im suprised you lost, you are a politician, now its "misquoting"
splnkr: well the irony here is that story about maxine waters misquoting a number probably got more exposure than the story about her exposing the CIA-crack connection in the 90's
mircea_popescu: it's not a set of survivor or w/e
mircea_popescu: just make your motherfucking point, that's what a congress is for.
splnkr: look, if you view a type of person as completely inhuman and one-dimensional so you can scapegoat them, you're never going to really understand why they are the way they are
splnkr: well, now the electricity service backpedaled and is offering a continuation at the same rate
splnkr: however I think a lot of us often react to what people say when they're taking extreme positions for negotiation purposes
splnkr: sometimes you take an extreme position to reach a better compromise
splnkr: in politics, sometimes you hyperbolize to make a point
splnkr: that's a pretty big deal in my book
Bowjob: if this rally continues, I'll be able to afford a nice house at the end of the year
Bowjob: its a matter of shipping..
mircea_popescu: that'll be a first.
ThickAsThieves: just submitted a couple bet ideas
aiball: I put it up there, but didn't take a side by mistake. I'll take yes as soon as it's approved. That is unless your comment about court is some way to convince me to take no.
Bowjob: inclined to vote no as a hedge
aiball: I'm asking what is a btcdime
BingoBongo: I might throw a bitdime on no if it posts
aiball: I sending up a 1 btc bet, just giving you insiders a chance to pick a side and I'll take the other.
Bowjob: I made a bet for avalon on bitbet. lets get this shit rollin
aiball: anyone want to take a side on "Tom gets custody of Suri by the End of April? "
mircea_popescu: there were a buncha oscars i recall
mircea_popescu: that's a healthy sum of change if you think about it.
BingoBongo: I have tried. A critical user mass is missing
aiball: how about a major us bank will deploy ripple by 2013
aiball: has anyone figured out the dividend for bbet this month? I might take a crack at it but just as likely might wait to see the number
Namworld: They take 1% in fees. Would take 2 million BTC in bets to make a 100% dividend.
BingoBongo: I now, that's thy I think they are qorth quite a bit more. Especially since the initial valuation for the whole enterprise was only 100 BTC.
Namworld: 200'000 satoshi a pop. 20 000 BTC valuation.
Namworld: I'm calling the shares as a whole overpriced.
aiball: definitely a buy and hold if anything
BingoBongo: I don't know. I find it a bit underpriced for all the bets I've bought in on that won't realize till the end of the year...
BingoBongo: Media's too easy. I've done local and regional papers a few too many times. Government trolls itself. I'm a stodgy educator... What targets are left nao?
BingoBongo: What's a better target than SA?
splnkr: i give just enough a damn about the IRC community to actually hang out; can't understand how some see it as the target for misanthropic gratification
BingoBongo: MP, this trolling something awful deal is taking a while. In the interim could you maybe hold a contest for spotting extra chromosones on bitcointalk?
BitHub: i have a crew
BingoBongo: So, BFL is is Kansas City. Is Josh/Inaba Rock chalk like a Jayhawk or like General Quantrill does e see all of the common sense reasons why Lawrence should burn?
BingoBongo: Was Yesterday a special occasion that deserved better?
splnkr: so we're talking 500THz capacity, i doubt one wafer loss is really that big a deal
ThickAsThieves: minirig buyers can afford to fly out there and tear them a new asshole
splnkr: average out to like 50ghs a sec
splnkr: yeah still, a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme
BingoBongo: Not in sales, in pure expense. Like BFL said that is roughly a thousand chips once it is broken up.
BingoBongo: If it was a 200mm wafer they easily killed $45,000 though
ThickAsThieves: it was a good idea PRwise
splnkr: i think that was a good idea, to 'kill' that wafer for testing given lateeness, cause that testing through which the killed wafer is going is the next step of the pipeline
BingoBongo: BFL also sent chips to get bumped without a goddam map.
BingoBongo: BFL "killed" a wafer to test their layout.
BingoBongo: Avalon's shipped maybe 5, 7 products in a month
BingoBongo: I've bet against BFL, but BFL can probably stay at the edge of shipping another 9 months and still keep some trust. The problem is that Josh is just a better troll than Micon.
ThickAsThieves: (aside from uix design, which is a diff converation)
ThickAsThieves: mp, i dont think great design is required for utility, but it is a part of salesmanship and interactivity
BingoBongo: Seals big problem now seems to be Micon can't take a little bit of retliatory trolling from BFL and his gamlbing instincts are betraying his lack of marketing instincts
ThickAsThieves: tahts go a long way
ThickAsThieves: if they just spent a few grand on some hot design
ThickAsThieves: seals looks like a scam
mircea_popescu: so someone should make a poker site then
BingoBongo: 1. Collect a lot of capital
ThickAsThieves: ive debated doing a bitcoin printer site
BingoBongo: A Bitstaprint might take, but the margins might suck.
ThickAsThieves: forgive me if that was a random reference
ThickAsThieves: you think a bitstaprint.com would take?
BingoBongo: I'm not sure I haven't seen any online poker that doesn't look like a shit show.
ThickAsThieves: sealswithclubs is a trainwreck website
