Wolf_L: what a load of bollocks
rg: we start filming in a month
rg: they have a machine that turns themwhite
rg: its been a while since i read it
rg: a
usagi: and build a moon base, and then 50 years later come back and invade
rg: cause the EU has turned into a fourth reicht type thing
rg: i wrote a screenplay about bitcoin
usagi: I have a plan for that soon
rg: chang has a shitload of ltc
rg: okay usagi, i have a couple thousand if you need em
mircea_popescu: no, i just want to show you that you're irresponsible. you sell me the insurance, i go put a block of 50mn shares of my own stock at half the current implied price and i've taken you out.
mircea_popescu: so let's see, mpoe.etf is a fund that's worth ~1800 btc atm ?
usagi: it's not so complex but requires a detailed analysis.
mircea_popescu: how exactly do you evaluate the volatility of a stock that existed for less than a year ?
usagi: BTW we have sold a few options contracts and paid out on one already
usagi: I could just as well sell smickles an option to buy out his fund at a certain strike price.
copumpkin: so the main benefit of selling investment insurance over investing directly is that you don't need to provide money, because the risk profile is identical. This lets you invest in a million different things, and assume way more liability than you're worth (ultimate leverage), which is only sane to do if your investments are uncorrelated
usagi: We agree to (for example) 100 payments of 5 bitcoins a week, in return for a (say) 400 BTC line of credit.
usagi: Smickles; I think a much better form of insurance for a fund is nav insurance.
copumpkin: it doesn't make sense for you to accept less reward than a direct investor
copumpkin: you're taking on the same risk as a lender/investor as an insurer
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: that was a problem, but the main issue for profit vs. risk assumed is diverfisifcation
usagi: Probably 1% a month
smickles: wikipedia on traditional security investor protection " It protects investors in certain securities from financial harm if a broker-dealer fails. It does not protect against losses in the securities markets, identity theft, or other 3rd-party fraud."
copumpkin: but mostly, insurance is only really worth it if you have a really wide uncorrelated portfolio of insured things
mircea_popescu: copumpkin worked on it for a while, but it just doesn't work.
usagi: it would depend on what you wanted protection from. if you wanted protection from something happening wrt glbse or mpex or protection on a particular asset that would be different
usagi: A shareholder protection agreement would protect investors in ss if the broker/dealer relationship failed
smickles: as i'm a broker, do you offer security investor protection?
bitfoo: that's not a bad idea
mircea_popescu: but i do read it. just, i keep everything for a few years first.
mircea_popescu: so it's a little bit of academic curiosity.
mircea_popescu: well, irl i'm a business consultant, but by my actual education i'm an philosopher/anthropologist
MrTiggr: (yu think i have enuf energy to maintain a mediawiki ppfft)
mircea_popescu: MrTiggr needs a dedi
Chaang-Noi: MrTiggr please upload this photo to the goat on a boat page http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j343/TyGrrTech/f58b08402757.jpg thanks :)

EB250: not good: https://community.rapid7.com/community/metasploit/blog/2012/08/27/lets-start-the-week-with-a-new-java-0day
smickles: the only differenc between my account and a user's account, is that i can set my actions to affect a user's account
smickles: not really like a form to email me, more like navagate to the page wihe the button that says "BUY X CALLS" with input for x and the details of the the call
mircea_popescu: so sorta like a form to email you ?
smickles: i'm taking the perspective that i should make a web ui that fits my needs to service people who 'call me'
smickles: and rg, if this does well, i'll need a dedi
mircea_popescu: what does everyone want to do ? TALK TO A PERSON!!!
rg: not everyone is a chatty catht
mircea_popescu: there is something i don't understand here tho. if i ihad the option of using a website or talking to a person, i'd chose the later.
rg: <smickles> mircea_popescu is a fag
rg: well that's a silly question
Chaang-Noi: butthurt? not at all, ignoring your spam is not that much of a bother
mircea_popescu: "The World Wide Web (abbreviated as WWW or W3, commonly known as the Web ), is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet."
mircea_popescu: well this'd happen to be a barbarism.
Azelphur: the internet is laid out like a web, which is why the two terms are used synonymously
Azelphur: I don't think that's correct at all (what does a web have to do with html documents)
mircea_popescu: it's not a matter of what i think. the web is the sum of all html documents and their connections (ie links).
assbot: [MPEX] [B.MPCD.A] 100000 @ 0.0010105 = 101.05 BTC [+]
assbot: [MPEX] [B.MPCD.A] 9000 @ 0.00101 = 9.09 BTC [+]
assbot: [MPEX] [B.MPCD.A] 4400 @ 0.0010088 = 4.4387 BTC [+]
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: because one is a description of the other
mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin is a new web-technology that enables people"
mircea_popescu: well.. anyway, here's to hoping people are smarting but a lot smarter.
mircea_popescu: like a year ago. jeez it seems like forever.
toffoo: haven't lost a bitcent to any
mircea_popescu: the true killer was that some people brought forth not really proof... but some indication of possible collusion. it became clear it's impossible to actually verify a default.
mircea_popescu: but at any rate, i just wish more people sat for a moment and thought things through.
mircea_popescu: and so a major invested paniced and sold into my bid. i cleared ~1k
mircea_popescu: well who's a bag of vulvas ?
dub: he is a bag of dicks?
dub: a seriously retarded forum user
dub: copumpkin had a lobotomy?
mircea_popescu: some douche talks nice to them, flatters them a little, wham, best of friends.
mircea_popescu: i think maybe he's just gettying hit by a general flood of people from the sinking ship.
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi "LIF.CX to me seemed like a ponzi, esp after I asked him about it. What I am wondering however is why did it go bad so soon? Even if this was designed to fail it should have lasted longer than this." remember that quote ?
BTCHero: I've made a huge mistake
mircea_popescu: to have a business you gotta have a business model.
mircea_popescu: Doffx i guess you see the wisdom of having a 100k+ a month exchange BEFORE the frontend
mircea_popescu: nah, he's a married dude.
Doffx: It really doesn’t matter now, its not an 'm right, your wrong thing. She scared people off, and you spend a lot of time defending the actions when it could have been avoided.
Wolf_L: gigavps is a girl
smickles: Doffx: mircea_popescu gave her a signed statement to tell people to "fuck off"
mircea_popescu: the front end took a walk down the river ben
Doffx: Its not difficult its confusing because of the layout, you need a good front end.
Doffx: Its a shitty login
smickles: for a fucking login
