pigeons: EskimoBob: i nominated jcpham because he would be less likely to be viewed as
a sock puppet than kako who is
a business partner of mp and i know smickles has done deals with him too
jcpham: EskimoBob go fuck yourself that was
a joke
jurov: but if it decides to swing to, say, 13, now that would be
a problem
jurov: if it goes only up, it won't be such
a bit problem, maybe bonds pay only
a half of MPBOR
Bugpowder: cause MPOE is gonna have
a bad week if the price keeps going up (I guess)
kakobrekla: lol i just realized, i have
a single customer that is larger than whole 1Broker
kakobrekla: thestringpuller, i just dont approve or resolve bets so i dont get in
a way of person that does that
jcpham: i imagine
a mtgox "out of business" would mostly be
a united states vs. mtgox thing

a significant amount of coins people want me to manage.
Bugpowder: I am getting
a lot of interest from friends

markedathome: now we need tracking number to jgarzik so that we can see
a countdown to delivery, then
a countdown to unboxing vid, countdown to powerup and mining vid, then countdown to teardown and post of BOM
mircea_popescu: jurov actually there's
a large contingent of people who are doing dubious porn

jurov: hi, i fail to see
a point?
Jackmaninov: I was just able to log in; don't think I was having
a time sync issue on my phone... Hmm
thestringpuller: mpoe-pr: " there's so much to do and so few people capable of doing it in Bitcoin that if your plan makes sense and you seem even remotely competent everyone else who is competent will breathe
a sigh of relief."
thestringpuller: i guess my question is why have Coinbase and others successfully acquired funding and formed what seems to be "profitable businesses" yet these hardware manufacturers make AAPL's first office (Job's adoptive mom's garage) look like
a better option for hardware fabrication...
thestringpuller: sports bets will likely account for
a large part of bitbets bottom line
mircea_popescu: there are categories atm, and
a search. but in general... yea
mircea_popescu: Namworld and if done by
a third party, it allows them to make whatever money is t obe made in that market.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: the odds are based on the total pot for

a general/personal blog but it has some dedicated bitcoin/mpex/rota categories.
Bugpowder: its weird, S.DICE sells off
a bit AFTER the whales show up?
mircea_popescu: they've discreetely skipped the "samples to community" part, the "we have the chips, they're hashing, just
a few" story can be strung till july.
mircea_popescu: then again asicminer has the advantage that it could be run as
a ponzi for quite
a while.

mircea_popescu: March may seem
a long time away as we all have ASIC blue balls right now, but its really not that far away, and I salute and congratulate all of you who have had the testicular fortitude to stick it out with us because you my friends will receive the ultimate reward. Sure Avalon may get some units out before the Chinese new year but that is sure to be
a very limited number. On the other hand our assembly house has an u
pigeons: message has the wrong length, need
a <cr> or something somewhere
pigeons: ooh now this is
a smooth platform mircea_popescu
pigeons: lets see how far i get without
a login
pigeons: well they really do think its
a neat idea, and you won't be able to convince them otherwise until they turn 13 at least
mircea_popescu: if you bet very late and the odds are very low you can end up paying
a little like that.
Jewish_James: so im assuming the weight number
a percentage? I'm trying to figure out the payout formula including the 1% fee and preventing the house from gambling its own money which i assume it doesn't do
Jewish_James: I guess
a better question is how are your winnings calculated?
Jewish_James: most of the propositions are very one-sided, so say you pick the favored choice , does everyone have to make equal sized bets, or could someone bet
a huge amount and greatly reduce the winnings for everyone else if that side wins
mircea_popescu: I purchased bad in
a very large amount and would be very generous with any recovery.
Namworld: mircea: all betting games are
a consented self-scamming.

a bet site, it's

a penis"
kakobrekla: well, having your site not fall to pieces is
a good first step ya know
mircea_popescu: sure there's gasoline. it's
a commodity. widely available, not too expensive.
mircea_popescu: it's like
a "new car company" came to the car show on the strength of "there exists gasoline"
Namworld: Well at least they could afford to do
a proffesional design like SatoshiDice... but what about the coding?
mircea_popescu: jurov
a i recall that, they put it up for sale cause "legal concerns" on the site itself
gribble: Error: "tickee" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: "o ease the point into
a "low information voter" sort of mental context, think of it in terms of television"
markedathome: I'll have to ask Wallace about that. He might have some ideas on crackers and Wensleydale. Or
a nice bit of cheddar.
smickles:
a good thing to sacrifice to be the first moon miner :D
smickles: i mean, it would count if you used
a custom miner to send the getwork to the moon and back to your compy, right?
markedathome: suprised no one has put
a single up on
a helium balloon and sent it NEO.
mircea_popescu: "Hi everybody - I just wanted you to know that I'm getting your mails - but I can't personally respond to all of them in good time, so I'm posting here. I've had
a major personal upset that has tied me up for two days, so I haven't done the refunds as quickly as you'd like."
mircea_popescu: "Not surprisingly I have
a lot of new refund mail - please understand that it takes
a lot of time to work through them - no response doesn't mean I'm ignoring you. I'm also not going to work
a whole lot today, as I have some life things to attend to."
Bugpowder: MPEX stocks are just

jago25_98: So main difference to
a major stock exchange is that the price is denominated in BTC. There's nothing new
