dub: bitcoin:
a little boy waits
gribble: Error: "bc,bollocks" is not
a valid command.
Namworld: So searches for your actually exchange might be on the rise, but represent
a fraction of all stuff tagged with the acronym MPEX searched for.
mircea_popescu: that graph shows php to be slightly faster, with
a huge berth.
jurov: but from my own experience, python makes it harder to open
a gaping hole
Bugpowder: "All else equal, having 1% of
a company is better than having 0.5%. But the 100th employee at Google did much better than the average venture-backed CEO did in the last decade. "
topace: i saw another bitcoin site pop up using drupal and just laughed, just waiting to get hacked, i know cavirtex uses django too, not too sure about its security vulns.. but using any sort of framework tha tother people wrote, and trusting it blindly, is
a _bad_ idea
JWU_42: someone said it was
a RoR exploit
topace: "i dont know how to make
a site, so ill quick prototype
a site with ror and then launch it live"
mircea_popescu: We sadly need to announce that our wallet has been compromised thus DO NOT send any further funds to any of the coin wallets, BTC, DVC, LTC, etc. We will setup
a new wallet and reset all the addresses. This will most likely take the whole weekend.
mircea_popescu: im not so ok seeing how i sold 8% of
a company for like 500 btc.
mircea_popescu: so, the part where the 1k block was undervalued is
a fact : it sold for 35x that.
mircea_popescu: what, just because this is
a public venue and graham does his shit behind closed doors i have to be stuck with all the unwashed public ?!
Bugpowder: and placed
a buy order for up to 100000
Namworld: I thought people would buy more progressively as BitBet shows it can bring
a cashflow.
Namworld: Wanted to buy yourself
a personal stack of your own stock?
Namworld: Breaking News: In an unexpected turn of events, MPEx is the host of
a record breaking trade totaling over the total amount of bitcoins in existance. In other news,
a 1 cm asteroid is heading toward Earth, which might just kill everyone in an fiery apocalyptic scenario, as rendered by our artists in the following video...
mircea_popescu: lemme tell you
a big secret pretty much any scholar knows :
mircea_popescu: In most prior human societies, people made money by taking it from others. The industrial revolution wrought
a paradigm shift in which people make money through trade, not plunder.
dub: I propose
a standard of variable sized ascii penises
mircea_popescu: dub im currently getting about one "premium stock exchange domain" offered
a week
Namworld: I see the same thing everywhere... people complaining of being scammed for clicking on
a button confirming
a fee. People confirming
a service without even checking the pricing. People complaining of not being warned of something they couldn't do or would be charged for that is written clearly in instructions.
Namworld: and if someone puts them low on the ask, I buy them at
a discount.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bugpowder btw you were right, my bad.
a bunch of models were discussed and i forgot that in the end i decided the blocks go +1s each
mircea_popescu: you know, sooner or later you'll meet the nasty problem of having to set
a standard.
burnside: thanks for the assist kakobrekla, that was
a trade on the site, works great
Namworld: Hype can also be the interest arising from the advertising and facts regarding
a new product.
mircea_popescu: the sentence correctly is "the fact of
a celebrity hyping
a product adds to hype'
Namworld:
A fact, such as
a celebrity endorsing
a product, can create
a lot of hype for
a product...
mircea_popescu: and i'd like to know if you're
a healthy young human or
a mentally retarded one.
Anduck: it's "from the owner of mpex" - that's enough to grow up
a hype
Anduck:
A fad.
A clever marketing strategy which
a product is advertized as the thing everyone must have, to the point where people begin to feel they need to consume it.'
mircea_popescu: not
a matter of people discussing facts in their out of the world irc channel.
mircea_popescu: and hype is
a matter of repeating dubious/false claims through many channels.
Anduck: jurov: i am pretty sure bitbet will atleast be
a very good competitor
Anduck: S.DICE makes most of the whole bitcoin transactions, they make huge profits in
a month
jurov: Anduck, if you open and fund
a coinbr account, i may be persuaded to explain
Anduck: so there aint
a simple answer?
Anduck: " The hacking collective doesn’t consider DDoS as
a form of attack and equates it to hitting the ‘refresh’ button on
a webpage."
Anduck: mircea_popescu: is there
a c++ server running mpex or just php + db?
Bugpowder: this is
a much better valuation method though
Anduck: that was
a nice example of how to do profit when ipo happens
mircea_popescu: (didn't take
a second, either, they just all came the same second)
Anduck: sell
a just started, not proved to make any money service, and if it did, it would be <10btc/mo -sell
a little part of it, for 20000 usd
mircea_popescu: what do you think, "everyone's
a people so nobody should get 1k" ?
Anduck: 14000 USD for selling _a little part_ of
a just started betting site+?
Bugpowder: I need
a password that is easier to type
tzui: that is why bitbet has such
a great design
Namworld: Well, for sport events, there is
a lot of demand.
Namworld: Well, gamblers are often impatient... hence why they gamble instead of buying
a S.DICE share... they want to win right away, get more.
Namworld: Hmm... 1200 BTC profit in
a year estimate? Decent.
Anduck: yeah it was
a bet i got the btc parts from =D
