pigeons: he used to be in irc all the time but
a few years ago
mircea_popescu: the idea that esperanto helps local languages is pretty good. nothing like something that really sucks as
a standard to keep internationalisation at bay.
dub: sounds more like
a vindaloo man
FabianB_: paypal for
a bitcoin conference?
dub: The point to Bitcoin is that you can choose your own level of trust in an external service. One of our group's members, Patrick Strateman, came up with
a scheme whereby
a wallet could be recovered algorithmically using an email and
a password.
jurov: we should hatch
a plan to troll that conference. in full force at least from romania, slovakia and slovenia :)
dub: The sooner they are regulated, the sooner users can have legal assurances that merchants are liable for their operations. The negligence seen at MTGox would never have happened in
a regulated market.
Bugpowder: If I wanted to claim to be
a speaker of
a language, I would pick one which nobody else would be able to confirm that I can or cannot speak
Bugpowder: "Taaki is
a speaker of Esperanto, which he promotes as an auxiliary country-neutral international language to preserve local languages. "
dub: I like the pick of amir on that page though, looks like he's trying to make
a facepalm but can't even manage that
FabianB_: jurov: just made
a deposit, sent further to mpex?
Bugpowder: I have
a friend that is finally ready to buy some coins $5k worth. What's the best way right now? I used Tangible Cryptography in the past, and was great. Not sure if he will accept new clients right now though.
thestringpuller: you're from romania...that's like telling the street urchin who turned into
a prince he doesn't know "street life"
mircea_popescu: te of the market, as you can with priced markets. 2. You should never bet until the last second so you can know the odds for the bet. In fact, it would make sense to create
a sniping bot that would programmatically calculate the odds, compare them to your probability estimate, and only make the bet if it is favorable. There is another site called Bets of Bitcoin (
http://betsofbitco.in/) that has similarly dumb rules.
mircea_popescu: This betting site has
a really stupid betting system. It appears that the amount of money you receive isn't based on
a pricing of the bet, as is done on all real prediction markets, but based on
a simple payout of all the bets received on the other side of the bet by the end of the bet date. This system has two practical consequences: 1. You can't determine the markets current probability estimates from the current sta
mircea_popescu: jesus, i am sick and tired of the internet opening up
a global venue for each single imbecile who'd normally be locked away somewherhe among four walls.
thestringpuller: how come no one gets mad at Bugpowder for using the channel as
a realtime ticker :P
kakobrekla: ;;rate Bugpowder 1
a wonderful sms provider
gribble: Error: I am not seeing this user on IRC. If you want information about
a registered gpg user, try the 'gpg info' command instead.
Diablo-D3: I made the idea public for
a reason.
thestringpuller: PsychoticBoy: not really I got
a gpu for 10 dollars and it will pay itself off pretty soon
Diablo-D3: fabbing boards is
a lot easier, cheaper, and takes less time than fabbing chips
Diablo-D3: Anduck: the term you're looking for is "mounting
a chip on
a board"
Anduck: it's
a huge difference
kakobreklaa: srsly, the chan topic does have
a char limit
Diablo-D3: yes, and soon to be on
a new exchange as well
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: asicminer's shares have
a contract, yes
mircea_popescu: i didn't even know they had
a contract. you mean post ?
mircea_popescu: and speaking of which, who with actual provable fmcg/retail experience wants to partner to make
a real bitcoinamazon ?
mircea_popescu: it's very little money and he has
a lot of spare time, so arguing about it with him sort of feels like giving
a perv
a handjob
mircea_popescu: he was dumb and lost
a lot of money, is in denial about it.
Diablo-D3: poker bluffing is digging yourself
a hole but meaning well
thestrin1puller: or was he just dumb and lost
a bunch of money and is trying to bluff his way out like
a bad poker player
jurov: oh.. so make
a bet that "usagi will be sentenced by the rota" then
thestrin1puller: nah. i already am drawing up papers for
a court date against usagi on behalf of the shareholders
mircea_popescu: well i don't think that can be
a bet cause one person could easily manipulate it
jurov: i have
a fun bet proposal: The Rota won't sentence anyone till...whatever
Bugpowder: I have
a weird key issue... I will fix
Namjies: I'd say
a bet where user can make it happen directly... open to abuse
mircea_popescu: ahhh, i have
a good feeling about this site. ppl like it!
jurov: mod6 meant vps users, not bitvps as
a whole
mod6: the knowledge transfer and roles/responsibilities is tough in
a crunch, I know how that goes.
mod6: if you stay on top of the technical issues and keep up the SLA -- that and some decent customer service will go
a long way.
Anduck: ya gotta advertise
a lot
kakobreklaa: pigeons, also if you put
a pic of brain onto it, it will sell more
Namjies: For
a second I thought you didn't like it
Namjies: We might advertise
a lot in the coming months.
Namjies: But rg was apparently not giving 50% on previous divs but as much as he could. And we seem to have lost
a few clients over rg's neglect of the business in the past months.
smickles: (e) The Directors solemnly promise and warrant that complete and accurate Statements of Profit and Loss for each calendar month will be published by them no later than by the fifth day of the new month. Under exceptional circumstances and for good cause the publishing of the Statements of Profit and Loss can be deferred no more than once in
a calendar year so that the Statement of Profit and Loss of one month is published together with the Statem
Namjies: We had
a 324$ fee which won't be there next months. Otherwise there would have been more.
Namjies: We don't really have
a place to publish it.
jurov: for
a moment i thought the dividend payment is going to be retconned again
mircea_popescu: S.BVPS paid
a total dividend of 1.50000000 BTC to 500`000 outstanding shares. #dividend #bitcoin #btc
mircea_popescu: Only
a very limited portion of the Bitcoin Reserve will be available for buybacks. The Bitcoin Reserve's priority will be for balancing first, and then buybacks. I would rather have the fund's shares be traded on the open market, but I know that's not always possible. So, I hope
a buyback policy will help in
a very limited way with some investor's liquidity.
pigeons: is there
a claims site for getting our glue bottles from SATOSHISDAEMON.HORSE yet?
gribble: (ticker [--bid|--ask|--last|--high|--low|--avg] [--currency XXX]) -- Return pretty-printed mtgox ticker. If one of the result options is given, returns only that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations). If '--currency XXX' option is given, returns ticker for that three-letter currency code. It is up to you to make sure that the three letter code you enter is
a valid currency (1 more message)
mircea_popescu: i mean, just as
a persay forinstance : is milk smooth ?
mircea_popescu: "None of the representatives in the US Congress could figure out how to use MPEx if locked in
a room with
a computer for
a week".
pigeons: my toliet paper is
a "smooth platform"
smickles: I alread placed
a couple of bets
smickles: and that's not too much of
a benifit
mircea_popescu: it becomes
a mess of assignments whereby the person with the key is not the person who signed the btc and etfc.
