mircea_popescu francis_wolke:
mircea_popescu: See my gist. However, I think that it's clear I need to read the Bitcoin sources and more history. The 'reasoning' in said gist may not correspond to reality.
francis_wolke:
mircea_popescu: Ah - but that's what I'm getting at - I think it was.
francis_wolke:
mircea_popescu: You simply don't have to tell all that many people when you're creating a new currency - and even if you do, who is going to listen?

herbijudlestoids:
mircea_popescu: i think bingo has been thickening it up while we argued earlier, cos i kept pinging his bids hehe
the20year1:
mircea_popescu: sort of. All these little tech startups suck their funding dry and then move on to 'the next big thing' and screw over some other institutional investor

mircea_popescu: we got a buyout offer from a large company, now we can tell them to f off or value us at 10-20 times more
ThickAsThieves: <
mircea_popescu> ThickAsThieves no it's not <<< it is for the market command it seems
herbijudlestoids:
mircea_popescu: lelll youre like an artist and your theme is "one naked lady amongst many clothed people"
herbijudlestoids: usually when you type
mircea_popescu i feel like there is a ray of insight and knowledge which i can catch and appreciate. not so much today.
herbijudlestoids:
mircea_popescu: i was not specifically, with the amount of capital input, trying to turn a profit. no. i figured that was clear but apparently not. the goal, specifically, was to entice an "ecosystem" as you put it, into existence, from which a profit can actually be derived.
jimjenkin:
mircea_popescu: can you talk about the latest developments regarding the tx mal. bullshit, does it matter?
herbijudlestoids:
mircea_popescu: the purpose of my activity, like i explained to you (now 3 times) was to have a go at something i was skeptical would work, specifically because you seemed to think there was some potential in trying the idea out
herbijudlestoids:
mircea_popescu: what i said to you from the very beginning was that there is no profit to turn, except in the potential for MM, which i am underfunded for, but i would give a crack anyway
herbijudlestoids:
mircea_popescu: i just explained it? nature does not build systems which drift from equilibrium. obama is literally riding a complex system in escape velocity. the implication is that what i tried to do is ...incorrect...because its obama-esque and not nature-esque...im saying thats so far from what i was trying to accomplish, that i dont understand the connection
herbijudlestoids:
mircea_popescu: in no sense am i trying to build a complex system, just provide the seedbed for liquidity in ATCBTC on openex, in the hopes of enticing others to do similar
herbijudlestoids:
mircea_popescu: your analogies arent even close to related. nature builds simple robust systems, obama trying to restart a complex system far from equilibrium...
herbijudlestoids: this all started because
mircea_popescu asked if i would be his "ATC daytrader on openex" because i mentioned having put on a small cascade of limit sells last night...and i said i didnt think there was anything to the market except the potential for MM
BingoBoingo:
mircea_popescu: I'm not at all convinced. I just want to trick herbijudlestoids into gifting me more coins.
jayk: did you ever find out who that band of naked ladies was
mircea_popescu herbijudlestoids:
mircea_popescu: no problem specifically, but its unsustainable, id prefer to continue making a market around the diff implied price than not
Apocalyptic:
mircea_popescu, that's what happens when you're MMing with low funds
herbijudlestoids:
mircea_popescu: i sold some BTC for some ATC? at above the diff implied price?
herbijudlestoids:
mircea_popescu: i have not been creamed in any market since may 6 2010 :)
BingoBoingo:
