STRML: I believe we're a breath of fresh air in
the derivatives space, which is dominated by players who barely understand derivatives
to begin with
STRML: We are nothing but open about what we do and how we do it, with
the exception of
that cofounder's name
STRML: Is
this channel usually so hostile?
mircea_popescu: so Jeong
threw some money , which is what he does, a sicrit expert wrote "the engine" and an eager black guy class of 2008 wants
to play
the danny brewster.
Adlai has yet
to hear of successful noncompete litigation
Adlai: ah yes,
the fabled noncompete
STRML: To be clear,
that was a joke; we use multisig internally, it is not possible for our unnamed cofounder
to cut and run
Adlai: well you could just get
the engine sauce audited,
then revoke anonybob's access
STRML: I understand,
the majority of our experience is in our engine author who wishes
to remain unnamed
mircea_popescu: "Arthur Hayes obtained his BA in Economics at
the Wharton School of Business at
the University of Pennsylvania in 2008. "
STRML: We don't
think it's ready for options at all, actually
thestringpuller: Everyone
thinks bitcoin is ready for options again cause
they know how
to write JS
mircea_popescu: ah, i clicked
the about but nothing happened. js issue i guess.
mircea_popescu: "BitMEX is
the first centrally cleared derivatives exchange. " <<
the first it certainly isn't.
☟︎ nubbins`: altho
tbf keys are mostly still ground
STRML: We are a derivatives exchange for investors and speculators who are serious about
the products
they
trade. I could give you
the whole pitch but I don't want
to spam
the channel :)
nubbins`: i meant
the craft of lasering
things, perhaps in a booth at
the mall
mircea_popescu: it'slikesaying kid driving will evetually learn
to marathon
nubbins`: anyway, poor kid will learn his craft over
time. i guess
nubbins`: i :0'd last
time i had
to buy one
mircea_popescu: nubbins` not by heart, but yes, you can probably buy a girl in
the shadier part of
town for less.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller not much need for
that
to be a rumour. obviousness is obvious, i dun
think anyone doesn't know
they are.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: rumor is
they've been seeking more funding. dunno if
they'll announce another round soon or not.
nubbins`: odd imperial sizes are a
terrible
thing
nubbins`: too bad he shows me
the 3/4" ones instead
nubbins`: i got drawn in by his insistence on obfuscating
the fact
mircea_popescu: it's not fraud
to say you're "a master artisan". it'd have been a fraud had it been a regulated profession.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`
tbh i
think it's forcing a point. anyone buying whatever on puffery is stuck.
nubbins`: i'm in read-only mode in
that
thread from now on, it's
too rich
STRML: Great, I'll check
the docs
mircea_popescu: you register your key with assbot, aquire some
trust and
then can self-voice.
mircea_popescu: i know i sort-of considered having something done when he was first brought up but dropped after actually looking at w/e it was at
the
tgime.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i dun
think anyone who a) isn't mentally retarded and b) looked at any item more
than cursorily failed
to realise it's a computer etch.
mircea_popescu: the last master carver
to have made 3k an hour was known by his moustache.
mircea_popescu: Yes, a MASTER CARVER who normally earns $450 (or is it $800 (or is it $3,000)) per hour is willing
to make Butterfly Labs dildos for $18/hr.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Of course. It's just amazing how shitware isn't limited
to
the stuff
that Stan blawgs about.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is elastic, it can be anything you want it
to be. "commodity"
Adlai: good
thing bitfinex doesn't
trade stocks and
there's no such
thing as insider forex
trading
BingoBoingo: Karpeles is probably secretly Lizard Hitler
too.
BingoBoingo: Well somewhere I
think someone brought up a govt agent suspecting Fatty was also
Thermos
mircea_popescu: Adlai
thing is , page simply does not resolve unless you run bad software.
mircea_popescu: who is generally stupid and lazy, and i doubt
teh story will stick, but hey. angry narcissists.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Wait so Mark did
the Gox, Silk Road, GLBSE, and Bitcointalk scams? <<<
the explanation is quite pedestrian.
there's a bunch of fuctards who imagine
they're "the coimmunity" notwithstanding
they have no money and no political importance. because hey,
they FEEL like
they should matter.
these derps ineffectually
tried
to prop up mtgox.
they failed, but
they don't wish
to confront
the why
there, so instead
the
Adlai: "Why so serious? Let us put a smile on
that face of yours, and
turn a 404 into a 503
today!"
BingoBoingo: Well of course.
They probably don't have a giant folder with
the whole SEC file. I wouldn't put it past
them
to have a friend who happens
to be a government secretary somewhere.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Looks like qntra got scooped on
this. << of course
there's also
the possibility
they made it up. not
the 1st
time.
BingoBoingo: Oh few
things are as corrupt as College Football. It is gloriously corrupt.
kakobrekla: the bowl sponsorship or whatever
the fuck
kakobrekla: actually
that bp
thing smells like koruption
to me
BingoBoingo: Well Coinbase got financing. BitPay because of
the publicity stunt gets belt
tightening.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla of course my only
takeaway is
that
the price is doing pretty well at strangling coinbase. lucky
them
that
they managed a refinance. curious if bitpay announces anything soon.
thestringpuller: random: is
there a reason "crowd source" projects usually are of mediocre quality?
mircea_popescu: (Oh, and journalctl goes out of its way
to set up
this behavior. Not by passing command line arguments
to less, because
that would be
too obvious (you might spot it in a ps listing, for example); instead it mangles $LESS
to effectively add
the '-S' option, among other
things.)
mircea_popescu: "The merely bad experience is
that as a result of
this I had occasion
to use journalctl (I normally don't). More specifically, I had occasion
to use 'journalctl -l', because of course if you're going
to make a bug report you want
to give full messages. Unfortunately, 'journalctl -l does not actually show you
the full message."

mircea_popescu: " dude it's so great
to be back on windows, seriously" << fifty million "experts" running systemd
mircea_popescu: "Attempts
to log in or
to su
to root from an existing login either fail or hang."
mircea_popescu: "The slightly good news is
that PID 1 segfaulting does not reboot
the machine on
the spot. "
mircea_popescu: to
the grief of women actually involved with computers. whoi aren't a market for
the niggers, because
they're smart and few, which makes it
too expensive.
mircea_popescu: just like nobody is calling retarded journalist cunts "core developers" on
the basis of
their merging gender changes
to pronouns in documentation on github.
Adlai: nobody was suggesting calling coders "cyber warriors",
this was about hackers crackers and stuxers
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, it's about
two degrees of magnitude harder
to find passible shooters
than it is
to find passible language-of-the-week coders.
mircea_popescu: the argument is about as retarded as saying
that "one real warrior can be more valuable
than" bla bla. sure,
the guy who puts up
the flag can be misrepresented so and so.
Adlai: it was hilarious at
the
time, being a "real warrior" myself, but siding with
the "cyber warrior" camp :D
mircea_popescu: that's a dangerous path
to
take. because "screw you bitch, i can sit in a chair and fly a desk
too."
Adlai: and
then recants
this statement once all
the other highups flip a shit
Adlai: some highup officer says
that a single cyber warrior can be more valuable
to
the country
than hundreds [of
thousands] of regular warriors
Adlai: lol
this reminds me of
the whole shitshow in
the idf where "real warriors" got all
tussled about
the cyber command calling its hackers "cyber warriors"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
That's seriously looks like where
the system is headed.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo pretty soon
the jury will have
to deliberate on
the exclusive basis of one sheet of paper on which
the words "The People consider
the defendant guilty" are written
mircea_popescu: mats calling it "a cyber missile" is a good joke. calling some beheadings "a new hairstyle" is a bad joke. gotta keep
track!
mircea_popescu: i guess it's
time for cazalla
to get a
ten page wikipedia article in all
teh languages.
nubbins`: actually, scratch
that. pm me details about
this work of yours when you've got money in-hand and a design ready
to go.
there's really no need
to update me before
that point :P
mircea_popescu: lol
that blinky map dohickey (revolvermaps.com) reports "119 Recent Pageviews". over about 10 minutes ? so like
