mircea_popescu: lol. fucking hell, when you'rte born people already have dollars
mircea_popescu: in fact the situation this month where calls got wiped is singular, never happened before.
mircea_popescu: Nov 18 22:02:22 <assbot> [MPEX] [O.BTCUSD.P200T] 1000 @ 0.88032553 = 880.3255 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: "An estimated 84 percent of coinstar users are women". Not going to comment on this one.
mircea_popescu: which actually i guess is a position many people are in.
mircea_popescu: (if the price drops you lose on the puts but can buy the btc cheaper. if not you make btc)
mircea_popescu: selling puts is a pretty reasonable way to protect yourself if you have $ and want btc.
mircea_popescu: he's not even so bad in the hole, coupla hundred btc big deal. he can make that in a month.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla was re Nov 19 00:35:52 <kakobrekla> at least 65 of em
mircea_popescu: there kakobrekla, that's 100 btc that won't be repaid.
mircea_popescu: I can't stop with the satoshidice. That game is evil. I really thought I was going to hit "big" one day. Every time I would hit big, the standard would raise until I lost control. Big became bigger. I was paying every loan off quickly and was satisfied with the profits + 10 to 20btc.
mircea_popescu: Namjies prolly best idea is to do very small bits first, get a good feel of how it works.
mircea_popescu: Namjies it wouldn't be a fee tho, the fee is 2%. the collateral oyu get back.
mircea_popescu: i'm too old to be going for these tricks, getting arrested in macau and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: so it shouldnt be MUCH more than you expect. maybe a little more
mircea_popescu: It is possible that certain business deals could happen as a result of this trip. If you were considering buying shares of S.DICE, you may want to do it quickly. Who knows what a rich Macau gambling magnate might think of a system which allows wagering in any amount, from anywhere in the world, anonymously...
mircea_popescu: Also, fair warning - next week I'll be travelling to Macau, the gambling capital of Asia, to present at a gaming conference. I'll be showing SatoshiDICE to many people, including gambling entrepreneurs and business men.
mircea_popescu: in other news, both cryptoexchange and intersangro are closing, pretty soon we'll be exchangeless at this rate.
mircea_popescu: which seems kinda odd. but hey, give them a week or w/e
mircea_popescu: not that i need that much secrecy anyway. da fuck are they gonna expose, my private flirting with internet womenz ?
mircea_popescu: i never used it, but i recall vaguely it was because tech gave it a neg report. this was years ago
mircea_popescu: The SILC implementation of its own spec is poor in that it is vulnerable to weak authentication which undermines any strong encryption it might have. For example, it is impossible to differentiate between two users whose keys you have verified before. If you verify these two user’s keys, and one of those users decides to impersonate the other one, SILC will happily continue without even mentioning this appalling situ
mircea_popescu: btw mod6 there's something i wanted to talk to you about. we could like, make this site right ? except not really a site, more like some servers
mircea_popescu: tbh, i prefer the thigh and i don't think i've done fifty lines yet.
mircea_popescu: ffs srsly, who came up with bragging about this ? the only time sloc/loc is relevant is if you're trying to determine how much old pos code will cost to maintain
mircea_popescu: <pigeons> will you hire me for a per line project? << yes. five cents :D
mircea_popescu: <EskimoBob> now he is coding a world best web site? << maybe he's pasting stuff from the interwebs
mircea_popescu: if someone told me gcc is eighteen lines i'd be impressed. eighty million... sounds like windoze.
mircea_popescu: who the hell is proud of having written MANY lines of code ?
mircea_popescu: Namjies fallout 1/2 rocked. pity they fucked the franchise later.
