jcpham: i bet it is
a link to bitcointalk?
jcpham: i was thinking of
a sports bet
mircea_popescu: if i wanted to become
a bookie i think i'd have done it by now tho
mircea_popescu: last i checked (maybe
a year ago ?) they were horrible.
Namworld: We've put
a tracking link and going to see if it gets any results.
Namworld: Those ad slots seems
a bit expensive tho.
Ukto: but if you run your nail back and forth over it, it does make
a slight noise :/
Ukto: its not enough to feel with
a fingernail
gladoscc: Ukto: what's the current fee for listing
a new asset on bitfunder?
thestringpuller: kakobrekla: you are
a hacker there is no normal circadian rythym for us
kakobrekla: i was trying to get back to
a normal pace
pigeons: but certainly wasn't necessarily
a few days imminent
Bugpowder: how long before another man ordered
a pizza
Bugpowder: if the bitcoin pizza man never existed, we would have been set back
a few days
Namworld: Hey, at the time,
a measly 10 000 BTC for
a pizza was an amazing deal on such gastronomy food.
Dr-G: still
a better transaction than that pizza transaction
Bugpowder: anyway, I think the betsofbitco.in model is flawed for the most popular topic of betting, sports, and only works for certain long-dated events with
a lot of ebb and flow to the apparent odds, that juice the bet value. When there is
a site that does Vegas style odds making, I'm going all in in that IPO.
Bugpowder: If it gets really bad, you move the spread to
a new number, i.e. -5.5
mircea_popescu: but im just saying, you can put 50/30 btc in, then wait for other bettors to contribute theior own then make
a final bet to adjust to reasonable rate either way
mircea_popescu: you can try coinbr.com, or else bitfunder has
a passthrough
Dr-G: just wanna have
a few
Bugpowder: This only works if you are doing events that have
a spread
mircea_popescu: you can make decent money as
a bookie on the system as it is, if you actually know odds.
Bugpowder: I have done
a LOT of betting on betsofbitco.in
mircea_popescu: there's
a bunch of ex cons that are all against the state for the very phylosophycal reason that they have priors
mircea_popescu: there's like, 100 or so coders, most incompetent,
a few bright, some acceptable
Bugpowder: You need
a vegas sharp to partner with
Bugpowder: whoever has coins, some betting knowledge, website knowledge and
a dream
Bugpowder: and just up the juice
a bit more than
a trad book
Bugpowder: and if you have
a decent bankroll you can at least allow betting based on the spread
Bugpowder: I just want
a bitcoin sportsbook with traditional moneyline and pointspreads
Bugpowder: I have used betsofbitco.in for
a long time, and I think the time-weighting diminishes betting volume closer to the event, which is when more people want to be, due to time value of money
mircea_popescu: im thinking it's equally likely that waiting will get you
a benefit or
a loss
Ukto: i think its under some other stuff in
a crate
Ukto: thestringpuller: i looked through
a box for ff7
Bugpowder: Well, I'm not sure if witholding info will make
a difference or not. But I think it will
pigeons: did havelock ever show
a signed statement?
Namworld: You don't have
a MPEx account yet?
Bugpowder: Got
a friend that is ready to dip his toe in
Bugpowder: you can't buy
a pencil at the elementary school shop
mircea_popescu: i was bored out of my fucking mind. in spite of paying like 8 bux tgo be there and also being with
a bunch of friends so we just made fun of the comedians the whole time
Namworld: Well it started with 269 BTC of debt. But I guess it's now
a 0.04 BTC of debt spreadsheet xD
pigeons: i posted it 2 days in
a row now
mircea_popescu: i'd guess their per-spreadsheet costs are under
a satoshi.
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder i think you have no idea what they squeeze out of
a server.
Bugpowder: How can ANYONE's time be worth so little as to be skimming percentages off of sub 1 BTC loans and making
a spreadsheet of them. Google
JWU42: that means I get like
a satoshi per share
JWU42: well that looks like
a wonderful business
Namworld: We'd have ~300$ more profit if we didn't buy
a WHMCS owned license.
JWU42: I have
a few thousand BIB.BVPS as well
mircea_popescu: ya 6k gsdpt is worth
a little, iirc they were even with s.dice ?
JWU42: it even took
a while for Pirate to get to
a negative rating
mircea_popescu: well... that's ahead of the game. i guess if you survive you might end up
a banker or something.
mircea_popescu: probably cleanest to just disburse. i don't see why any sane exchange would want
a wreck listed to beghin with
Bugpowder: "SO I believe
a remedy is available to JWU. It's simple -- something akin to... give up his current stake in YABMC. I.e. ~500 BTC."
JWU42: it might take longer to begin payouts if it is listed on
a new exhcnage as then holders would need to create accounts, etc.
JWU42: it is not relisted on
a new exchange and payments are made directly to the holders
thestringpuller: "2011 will no doubt be remembered as the year that Bitcoinica took Bitcoin by storm. With leveraged trading, playing the Bitcoin markets went from tee-ball to the big leagues, seemingly overnight. 2012, however, will take things to
a whole new level. Mt.Gox and Tradehill have both hinted at the fact that they will be unveiling futures and options markets as part of their development plan, with Mt.Gox possibly br
dub: I will do ANYTHING to make bitcoin better for the good of humanity!! Oh and I'm going to pimp some quesitonably legal sexual exploitation to make
a fast buck
mircea_popescu: they contain porn of
a more intellectual and much more obscene nature.
mircea_popescu: Why do this? Well, any computer that is connected to the internet with money on it (or bitcoins) is
a target for hackers. Keeping servers secure involves many variables and is it’s own area of study and research. Under normal conditions this level of security should be sufficient, but payment apps are held to
a higher standard.
mircea_popescu: shows
a deep, fundamental understanding of the truck/pipes issue.
dub:
a few people posted that they'd used it
pigeons:
a bunch of newbs contantly beg you to open
a new coinbase account and get free btc if you hook up you bank account
mircea_popescu: i'm not sure i'd hold something like that against
a new service. maybe.
pigeons: but
a few said they just loved being able to send ach from their bank to
a bootstrap site and get bitcoins at mygox + 1%
mircea_popescu: cause yeah, i wanted to ask iof they actually have
a value proposition that i've overlooked
mircea_popescu: i see them struggling in
a flypaper venue with bad make-up on
mircea_popescu: or wait, what's the guy who had
a show where he used cameras in demo mode ?
mircea_popescu: so basically...
a guy that's been out of the game since about before it started, taaki and
a gun printing guy.
dub: the gun printing guy was listed as
a speaker iirc
pigeons: he's mostly known for renouncing us citizenship for
a "not
a citizen under the blessing of slovakia" card
pigeons: he used to maintain
a bitcoin wordpress shopping cart plugin
pigeons: he bought
a mixer and the motto was "get your bitcoins whiter than white"
