mircea_popescu: the exchange market is going out of the "we can do anything" phase, there's no room left for one man and his hopes operations. which means pretty much all the extant ones will close down, and likely miost of them will close down ugly.
mircea_popescu: and tbh i think keeping money in anything other than mtgox and those frenchypoofs with the eu partnership is at this point cruising for a bruising.
mircea_popescu: Unfortunately, I have very bad news. I cannot currently proccess your withdrawals. The situation is very complicated and it's all my fault, that's why I feel terrible about it. I tried to make this up, to keep the site afloat and somehow recover the funds, but it's not possible anymore. Right now there are 1786 BTC pending withdrawal, which I can't honor...
mircea_popescu: smickles yes. jurov's representation is muchly exagerated :D
mircea_popescu: that's when what you learned fucking with it will command 10btc/hour
mircea_popescu: they have no way of knowing you exist, not like socgen trolls irc
mircea_popescu: the twitter to assbot latency is larger than the mpex.co to order queue latency by a degree of magnitude
mircea_popescu: <mod6> it may possibly be the only real market in the world, even guys in nyc or chicago trading pits have to combat these HFTs <<< i know. atm i actually do have an edge over nyse/etc.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> no, the slow order placing/cancellation << order placing isn't slow ?
mircea_popescu: i mean... it'd be in any case more effiicent to place limited time orders given that the bot knows how often it runs
mircea_popescu: and as the entire thing is stateless the only thing you can do is examine the state later
mircea_popescu: not exactly. the system you're talking to has no idea/not the authority to know what order id the order will get or how will be executed
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller> whoa buying code <<< MPEx has built an ecosystem
mircea_popescu: they'd better be REAL cool as opposed to the play=pretend, circle-jerk, self-granted cool any backwater town kids bestow upon each other for lack of alternatives.
mircea_popescu: so if you really want success, just make cool kids clubs.
mircea_popescu: and it's inevitable in the sense all decay is inevitable
mircea_popescu: possibly. succes is always the sound of the cool kids club going to shit.
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: it gradually but graciously allows that market to use it.

mircea_popescu: but i literally did not have enough capital to go as short on rimm as i wanted.
mircea_popescu: used to like graham 10 years ago, but by now he sounds like a stuffed manequin
mircea_popescu: he rants about how 3/4 of their "10 bn" was made by airbnb and some other shit site
mircea_popescu: Anduck im pretty sure asics will be delivered by a company
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i meant in the "o, what will they think what will they say will they agree" sense.
