jurov: really, if a bank approached me for that.. that would blow me off
mircea_popescu: apparently not a real troll
mod6: mircea_popescu: i agree. If I was there in the pits and my client called me to place a market order immediately and i was being front run by an algo, i'd go banananas.
mircea_popescu: the twitter to assbot latency is larger than the mpex.co to order queue latency by a degree of magnitude
smickles: jurov: I know, but I'll be putting only one order up at a time, so if anything shows up with that mpsic, that's it
smickles: mircea_popescu: would you not like it if I had a ~500 iteration loop which called statjson until it saw the order pop up, if at the end of the 500 iteration it haddn't, it would just assume it got executed?
mod6: because i don't want to fight a fucking bot to place an order
jurov: incidentally, i just met a friend who want to do hft bot
smickles: I wonder if i can get away with a 'cancel the order that looks sorta-kinda like <this>' function
mod6: it does return a statement of what order was placed though.
smickles: jurov: I just want the one part that fetches an order number from a recently placed order, I don't think that's worth 99btc

mircea_popescu: me being here, a few others being here is what supports btc.
mircea_popescu: The way to win here is to build the search engine all the hackers use. A search engine whose users consisted of the top 10,000 hackers and no one else would be in a very powerful position despite its small size, just as Google was when it was that search engine.
mircea_popescu: Google used to give me a page of the right answers, fast, with no clutter. Now the results seem inspired by the Scientologist principle that what's true is what's true for you. And the pages don't have the clean, sparse feel they used to. Google search results used to look like the output of a Unix utility. Now if I accidentally put the cursor in the wrong place, anything might happen.
mircea_popescu: you make yourself a site and upload there.
thestringpuller: you could create the same system locally using a an NFS share along with a few scripts

thestringpuller: dude they made a chip
mircea_popescu: omfg jcpham has a forum name ?
iz: yeah, a while ago they made news when lockheed bought one of their things
jcpham: and the technical discussion was basically like " it isn't a quantum computer"

mircea_popescu: is it like... a curse ? someone set them up da voodoo ?
mircea_popescu: I know there was some trading going on, but the volume was almost non-existent, as most people held on to the shares. Regardless of what may have happened on the exchange, the shares were never meant to be a trading stock and for all intents and purposes, I used GLBSE as a glorified excel spreadsheet to handle the distribution of the mined funds in a fast, easy manner. From the volume, I think most people agreed with
