Namworld: Otherwise it feels like a loss =/
Namworld: Any S.BVPS holder? You can contact me right away with a signed statement containing your BTCT.co username
Ukto: so the gpg stuff, user just has to sign a simple msg, and fingerprint should match
mircea_popescu: i imagine send burnside a list of names and shares ? dunno how btctc works
Ukto: bah, a little js "fill in the fields and do X"
mircea_popescu: Ukto prolly a little difficult cause people might not get the syntax right
Ukto: then again, if theres not that many holders, its not a big deal I guess
Ukto: certinly would save a lot of effort
mircea_popescu: Namworld might be an idea to make a preemptive explanation of what happens
mircea_popescu: ya well that sounds like a pain sure
mircea_popescu: a i see what you mea
Ukto: sounds like claimings gonna be a pain for you :/
Namworld: I'll only get a gpg key fingerprint with holding
mircea_popescu: won't be a mystery for long
Ukto: I know it doesnt hold a candle to mpex, but I thought it was pretty neat. :)
mircea_popescu: tell you what, i'll make a post out of whis, then you can argue it in the comment section to your heart's content.
mircea_popescu: again, being stupid is not a continuum with being smart. it is a property.
truffles: thats a bias on your part
mircea_popescu: it can be fixed in some cases with a beating, provided it's serious enough to scare them shitless.
mircea_popescu: being stupid is a deliberate, internalized deffect.
mircea_popescu: it's a thing
truffles: assuming we have a somewhat stupidity scale before the no stupid ppl
mircea_popescu: the pole for dieing a horrible, disfiguring painful death would, maybe.
truffles: a world of too smart is not good for me though
mircea_popescu: no matter what you're doing, trying to buy a new car, get married, get a job or hire someone, anything and everything you do
truffles: seems like lots of room for scams in a btc system
midnightmagic: It's unfortunate it's not a question of pure caloric intake.
truffles: ure on a diet?
mircea_popescu: i do ~25k calories a week
mircea_popescu: truffles you kidding me ? one of the girls is doing a diet, calculated my intake last week
Bowjob: do not get a cuban necktie or something.. its bad for your health
Ukyo: "Full reserve is not a requirement, but you will be responsible for returning the money"
topace_: they make a fucking killing off those stupid ads
Bowjob: it was a coinflip for me whether you'd do an IPO style offering
topace_: cuz there was a bid for it
topace_: suck i had a headache and went ot bed early :(
Bugpowduur: for a lot of shares
mircea_popescu: that's a cool 100 btc
gesell: okay, im going to go open a complain thread on reddit
mircea_popescu: in a good way
Namworld: because people don't have time to enter a price
Diablo-D3: even if a single shard fails, you can take it out and replace it
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: its a bunch of tiny boards
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: I thought it was A board, its not
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: without having the board infront of me and a full suite of electrical diagnostic tools, Im going to have to say they did the right thing
Namworld: Any LTC-GLOBAL shareholders in here having reviewed one of the MPEx pass-throughs with a NO/ABSTAIN, requesting more information?
Diablo-D3: the other side is probably smooth as a baby's ass
Diablo-D3: the board is pressed into a giant industrial heatsink
Diablo-D3: trying to work around it with a off the shelf heatpipe heatsink doesnt fix it
mircea_popescu: a tractor versus a porsche
Diablo-D3: Bugpowduur: I dunno, I think the avalon board is a work of art
Diablo-D3: I already looked into this about a year ago, couldnt get anywhere with it because GPUs dont have native booleans
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: like, you know how we check H==0? thats actually a form of very basic sat solving
Diablo-D3: jurov: btw, the biggest chip? its probably a hardcopy babysitter design
truffles: there should be a countdown clock on this next wave
Diablo-D3: didnt they just rip a MIPS board out of a wifi AP?
mircea_popescu: mjr_ for a while yet
Bugpowduur: mjr_: someone is a bit optimistic about that arb opp
gesell: was allso looking at the booard a while back
gesell: but based on the design i would guess a processor to manage the array of whatever chips are missing
Ukyo: oh, its a bfl board
mjr_: but they themselves don't give either...you could invest in a bond like namworld's and get interest, or you could invest in a stock like S.DICE which offers dividends
pigeons: you have a savings account with no fees?
mircea_popescu: truffles it's a false impression tho. all transactions large enough or out of fresh enugh inputs carry fee.
truffles: a few utubes kinda did esp the long super techy one (that i didnt get)
truffles: i have a general idea of how this works but still clueless sigh
mircea_popescu: but he's done a buncha stuff with acworth
Ukyo: btw, are you a pimp out there?
mircea_popescu: the entire server stuff is just a front. they do it on abacuses
jurov: i've hired a small army of indians that compose orders and parse STAT responses
mjr_: and upon expiration, you just do a bitcoin settlement...is that automatic?
mjr_: that's the thing too, i really think that people have to see it as a tool, you can use cash anonymously in the real world, but you could also use cash in a very open way.
mircea_popescu: well, because everyone is already fully covered, so it's not a matter of evaluating cp risk that'd be helped
mjr_: since pizza was a great first step
mircea_popescu: and amassing a lot of valuable knowledge/experience
mircea_popescu: and a lot of people have been putting in a lot of work, learning a lot in the process
mircea_popescu: but that aside, it IS starting to become a problem, so...
mircea_popescu: my primary goal is to build a btc finance space, and so there's all sorts of "broken" things like that deliberately to let people solve problems and grow an ecosystem
mircea_popescu: but i thought originally this "problem" (ie, no single stock stat) would allow a nice niche for a sort of s&p, moody, fitch equuivalent to fill and grow
mircea_popescu: sort of like a 3rd party service
mircea_popescu: people could push assets to it, it'd get a stat and push them back
mircea_popescu: as a sort of escrow of sorts
mjr_: would it be a stat for mpoe (what is mpoe's bid ask last) or a stat for you, relating to mpoe (how many shares, avg price)
mircea_popescu: the original concept would be that somebody would be making a verify-only account
truffles: thats a good one
Ukyo: BF has had a good intake the last 30days
Ukyo: was just laughing in amusment of the idea of listing BF on mpex, and then other exchanges doing a PT supporting it. LOL
Ukyo: terra has a bbet one that hasnt been enabled yet
Ukyo: see if other exchanges do a PT >:D
mircea_popescu: nope. it's good for a few investment bankers and maybe zuckerberg
thestringpuller: he owns a separate type of stock that gives him 4x more voting power
Bugpowder: Facebook is a textbook example of perfect IPO
mircea_popescu: if you can't, you don't have a point.
mircea_popescu: btc is a voluntary system.
thestringpuller: why not? what if investors want operating control as a part of their investment.
truffles: its fine i dont have a place in my heart for it
jurov: just joking, it's not a problem atm
Ukyo: thats alright, just wanted to give it a little something for now.
mircea_popescu: prolly a good idea.
Ukyo: Namworld: : tossed up a first bids for bvps :)
