EskimoBob: jurov: someone made
a post after me you do not like?
dub:
a table thumper is that person in the corporate world that operates by being overly forcefull, loud and petulant. They sometimes get results because other parties give in to their position because its easier to just make them go away but ultimately nobody wants to deal with them and they end up managed out of any position of relevance
dub: EskimoBob: at some point I recall enjoying the odd diatribe you emmited but now you just seem to show up and blather incoherently in any thread containing
a poster you dont approve of. You are basically ciuciu 2.0
Ukto: havent even had
a chance
thestringpuller: is there
a way to return the ask bid and last price on
a stock?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu:
A stock can be made of
a composite of price non?
mircea_popescu: it is after all perfectly possible it just jumps to 3% for
a few months...
Doffx: Well after the dust has settled it looks like I made quite
a bit from the passthrough
Ukto: 1 month of fundraising, then it buys bond,
a month of trading
mircea_popescu:
a sio this way it can trade/invest/trade/invest sorta thing ?
Ukto: since theres
a month of fundraising
jurov: we did not found
a sane way how to cram it into one asset
Ukto: seemed like
a waste to keep re-creating assets
EskimoBob: and look, he has no need for
a hysterical sociopath cunt, to represent him :)
mircea_popescu: maybe
a composite, maybe just
a simple auction-type site
mircea_popescu: no thestringpuller. the main issue is that
a single price is meaningless for
a fragmented set of random submarkets.
thestringpuller: so mircea_popescu if I can prevent
a geogrpahical shortage in one location from affecting the entire market, the main issue you see will be solved?
thestringpuller: so if there is
a shortage in one location, then wouldn't he have to transport it from
a farther location?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller let's get it this other way : there's 20 geographically distinct markets. in one of them there's
a shortage. that guy goes and buys moar cocoa. drives price up
smickles: mircea_popescu: someone taking my deal with s.dice could've already made
a bunch of btc
thestringpuller: but what would be the physical trade floor is
a computer terminal connected to the internet
thestringpuller: i feel like chicago has
a lot of train yards and people deal with it there
thestringpuller: in
a spot exchange the supplier delivers to the exchange no?
mircea_popescu: which is what makes this slightly inadequate for
a spot-type exchange traded thing
thestringpuller: that listing would correlate to any number of suppliers that constitute
a BTC union
thestringpuller: the example I mulled around in my head was
a case where MPEX would have
a listing for something like Cocoa
mircea_popescu: which isn't
a bad thing, but it doesn't make sense to lump it all under
a generic name
gribble: Error: "define" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: spot markets evolved historically and make sense in conjunction with
a delivery spot.
mircea_popescu: what sense does it make to have
a centralised spot market when nobody can take centralised delivery ?
thestringpuller: but I'm more talking about being able to purchase commodites at
a market price via btc
thestringpuller: but I suppose if someone who had
a future that matured and had
a distribution network may want delivery
smickles: there is
a lot of markup to eat into on coffee
thestringpuller: most people who would want end-user procurement of
a commodities contract would be someone likely to distribute to
a small coffee shop
mircea_popescu: someone should make
a top of the weirdest trades on mpex
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: I'm here. Ahhh it feels good to type on
a real keyboard. So many more WPM's
smickles: alright, time to put in
a low bid on s.dice
jurov: Doffx, there's no such thing as bitfunder bot. deadterra decided to consider even coinbr as
a competition
mircea_popescu: i guess someone will end up making
a share transfer agreemend and end up unwinding most of the passthrough huh
mircea_popescu: you know smickles that icon really does make the bottle look like
a dildo
gribble: Error: "bc,count" is not
a valid command.
gribble: Error: "bc,lastblock" is not
a valid command.
gribble: Error: "bc" is not
a valid command.
smickles: that said, I hope to never transpose the price and the amount on
a command again
smickles: < Bugpowder> I gotta say... I am feeling really fucking good about my S.DICE holdings << I gotta say... I'm feeling really fucking good about mistyping
a command and buying 50btc of S.DICE
a while ago
smickles: I guarantee him shares at
a price of 0.00061896 in the amount his balance on account will allow
smickles: thestringpuller: just in case it's actually you, I'll reserve
a price of 0.00061896
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: would you allow me to run decentralized commodities on mpex? if i get
a plan in order
mircea_popescu:
a not so bad, for some reason i had it in my head you missed out on 1.5-2k btc
pigeons: some people can't figure out the user-friendliness of mpex so they place
a market order?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: my investors would rather build
a commodity market instead of strictly futures physical delivery so that will be added to the plan.
B0g4r7: I wouldn't touch anything floated by usage through
a 10-element proxy chain.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller no, it was one of his numerously amusing threads, something about
a liquidator
mircea_popescu: usagi : "Through
a mathematical trick I have been able to"
EskimoBob: AssWob, wtf is wrong with you? Can't you us
a fkn comma?!
mircea_popescu: Also, I also have to admit that
a lot of the business circumstances were well beyond my scope of understanding. I assure you that I have learned the relevant lessons and I will do
a much better job in my next project — NameTerrific.
mircea_popescu: As many of you know, I'm reaching 18 years old this year, and even though the Bitcoinica venture was extremely exciting and eye-opening for
a teenager, I have to admit that I could have displayed
a higher level of maturity and professionalism in some matters.
mircea_popescu: "My wife and I don't have many services to sell here, except for this. She started out as
a small B cup, then had
a BA surgery (350cc) to bring her to
a D, then another about 18 months ago (600cc), to bring her to
a DDD. Since then she has really started to take care of her body and has worked out
a bunch."
mircea_popescu: "I have
a webhosting that is of alright speeds in terms of loading pages and stuff, " lol
coingenuity: (it should also be noted that he's the only cust still waiting on that product, we luckily had hundreds of oz on hand when the manufacturer took
a dump so caught the delay preemptorily)
coingenuity: mircea_popescu: actually, he's high on my priority list- the manufacturer of the product he ordered has been doing
a total restructuring of their supply chain so i'm having to work with their delay
coingenuity: mircea_popescu: i actually just gave the staff member in question
a tongue lashing about this
coingenuity: mircea_popescu: i've already had my staff contact him, one of them got
a tongue-lashing for not following my instructions to do it
a long time ago
mircea_popescu: what he did is basically akin to generating
a number of random email addresses, sending them mail, waiting for answers.
mircea_popescu: moreover, i'd be surprised if 1 in 10`000 facebook accounts actually has
a human being behind them
mircea_popescu: Why can't anyone break this code? they claim it might have involved
a "one time pad"
EskimoBob: greedy is writing
a bot for LTC markets. I recommended assbot to him
thestringpuller: "The design is complete. It’s just
a matter of waiting for production and delivery. The boards, enclosures, and assembly teams are standing by, anxiously awaiting delivery of the chips so we can begin assembly and start shipping."
thestringpuller: any competent electrical engineer would surely pass on
a job offer from them
thestringpuller: "The design is complete. It’s just
a matter of waiting for production and delivery. The boards, enclosures, and assembly teams are standing by, anxiously awaiting delivery of our 100% custom BFL ASIC chips so we can begin assembly and start shipping. "
