jcpham: did i just get called
a shill
dub: nyRednek: considering the ease of throwing up
a wordpress/bootstrap/lameCMSoftheweek its pretty hard to spot
a scam on website appearance
jcpham: time is the only indicator i have as
a metric for scams
mircea_popescu: nyRednek the site that "looks like it's run like
a scam" is older than most btc scams.
nyRednek: or just dump any securities i have that may be anyway linked with that exchange, considering that the site looks like it's run as
a scam
jcpham: but it is not
a requirement by any means
mircea_popescu: nyRednek well, maybe you should treat them separately. for what it's worth, what you call "pleasing to the eye" is, both for good theoretical reasons and proven through practice on record,
a sign of poor credibility.
jcpham: don't get me wrong i'd like
a pretty mpex
mircea_popescu: nyRednek are you trying to resolve
a problem of credibility or
a problem of usability ?
nyRednek: jcpham, hence the problem...that brokerage shouldn't be needed for
a professional-looking site
nyRednek: because i'm
a potential customer, maybe? because i'm not going to spend
a dime buying stocks on
a site that looks like it was thrown together in one's sleep?
mircea_popescu: i can appreicate that. but it's been in business for
a while you realise.
dub: sure accepting bitcoin is somethign different but just stick
a bitpay checkout on any of the thousands of reseller options
dub: take
a look at WHT, the margins are tiny
mircea_popescu: but yes, i am creating the solutions, just, it's
a little slow.
mircea_popescu: Buglouse in april there wasn;t someone like mpex to create
a downmarket for the half dozen or so smaller exchanges
dub: personally I wouldnt touch
a vps/hosting startup with EskimoBob's
mircea_popescu: which opens up another can of worms : it was
a realtively small asset (3k mkt cap or so)
nyRednek: mircea_popescu, either way, if the asset was lagging in that manner, it doesn't seem like
a sound investment
nyRednek: mircea_popescu, that would be
a sign of
a failing company, no?
mircea_popescu: if you don't, there's always going to be this lead-up string. first it misses X. then
a little more. then
a little more still.
mircea_popescu: the problem here is that you never really know what to do. i mean, if you insta-wipe any company that's late with divs/misses
a report date you will end up causing
a lot of grief for legitimate shareholders
Bugpowder: started thinking... hmm... isn't this
a company run by
a 22 year old
mircea_popescu: i honestly thought that the listing is probably bvps' largest asset. there is such
a thing as
a reverse ipo for instance.
mircea_popescu: jurov i don't imagine they really groked the complexities of running
a public company going in
mircea_popescu: <jcpham> i'm glad you are taking care of it Namworld << to his credit he did buy
a bunch of shares while they were trying to acquire.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> EskimoBob, seems everything that is crap you own
a few shares. << virtuaally lol
dub: heh micon is like
a slightly smarter version of EskimoBob
dub: all that quality usagi trolling, now he's regressed into
a rambling paranoid old lunatic barking at traffic
dub: its
a little sad tbh
Namworld: Plus since everyone using MPEx already use gpg, signing to confirm their key shouldn't be
a problem either
dub: or
a friendly eskimo with tourettes
jcpham: it's also
a robot chicken referece if you are unfamiliar
Namworld: But we still talk
a bit with him from time to time.
Namworld:
A list of key+shares will be given to rg
kakobrekla: EskimoBob, seems everything that is crap you own
a few shares.
smickles: oh wait, i think i was off my
a digit
smickles: i feel like it's fairly well spot on at bitfunder if deadterra were to charge
a 1% fee to transfer out of the passthru
smickles: so if there is
a way to move it form deadterra to mpex, prolly for
a fee
smickles: EskimoBob: G.SDICE should trade at
a 5% discount to S.DICE
smickles: quick, someone send
a test email to smickles@smickles.com
smickles: thestringpuller: yes, I believe I can legally begin doing business once I get
a city business license :D
jurov: 'manual' means there's snafu and admin should fix it (we get
a notification, too)
Bugpowder: you are in some nice
a mild climate compared to there
gigavps: but i could go swimming on
a day like today
gigavps: it got into the 50s
a couple weeks ago
gigavps: i'm in shorts and
a teeshirt
gigavps: i hope everyone is having
a lovely day
xza: mpoe is
a really strange name
Bugpowder: if there was negative return in
a month
Bugpowder: but the dividends will go in
a whole
Bugpowder: sdice never pays
a negative dividend
Bugpowder: I bet that buyout of the 48 wall happend when
a mini-whale was on
a losing streak
jurov: Bugpowder, I'll do it in
a while.
Bugpowder: Actually, it would be trivial to add
a sanity check to the pyMPEX script.
Bugpowder: Well if anyone that bought shares in that dump would like to sell them back to me for
a reasonable profit, I have thrown up some bids :-)
topace: anything thats an order of magnitude out of the expected range should throw
a big warning :p
Bugpowder:
a confirmation step would be great actually
jurov: Bugpowder, time to fund development of
a usable mpex desktop app, no?
Bugpowder: I think I just need to turn it off for
a while
Bugpowder: I'm like... damn that is weird price action following
a big buy...
Bugpowder: gotta stop trading while distracted with
a baby
Schadenfreude: And I thought you were one of the crazy people buying everything up until they have
a monopoly and then selling for insane prices
topace: you can sell them at
a profit
Bugpowder: I just realized the massive dump after it was me missing
a zero
Bugpowder: yeah its amazing what happens when you forget
a zero
Bugpowder: then people sell for
a deflated price
Schadenfreude: So people buy up everything below
a certain price and sell for an inflated price since nobody can't undercut them? This is better than video games
xza: lol @ "mpex is like
a fart in
a small room"
Namworld: My copartners weren't too enthusiastic. I managed to convince them on
a new contract, but we're real turtles

mircea_popescu: special ? nothing's special, what are you,
a romantic ?
mircea_popescu: so
a week or so ago - was it
a week jurov ? - i was dealing with people rounding off the last two digits
jcpham: if you own
a horse and
a plow you can probably grow your own food to
dub: thats because you have never driven
a car
mircea_popescu: unveil
a horsedrawn carriage at the 2013 whatever expo
jcpham: but with
a new carriage compnay though
Namworld: They should run
a pilot project on wether if they give me 50 million, I'll have 50 million.

a pilot for what would have cost
a billion+
