too sweet for my
tastes, I'm a whisky and red wine man

tld worth bidding on
BingoBoingo: Vexual:
The proper file extension for
that
type is .twat
Vexual: put it in sluts.txt and do it later
then
BingoBoingo: Who knows? It's
the way of
two cans and string, one of which is missing
Vexual: im guessing
that bitstamp hot wallet ain't small
Vexual: Hey.. What is
this 2015 has started already? Feels like Monday
mircea_popescu: quite a step up from "doesn't understand how
the world works"
mircea_popescu: lol now
that china is looking poised
to reconstruct
the entire world around shanghai,
the english agitprop is
talking of putin pawning russian national interest
to beijing.
ben_vulpes: what, you
think
this is
the only channel in which i do biz?
ben_vulpes: watching
the
thing scroll by as my bouncer replays it makes
things look longer
than
they are
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes weren't you complaining bout
the endless log an hour ago ?
ben_vulpes: where does extraordinary rendition happen
these days?
thestringpuller: but what is
the alternative? nanotube would have
to
trust someone else
to maintain gateway into WoT?
Fun: as
to reality if drunk person mistakes
tree for say a monster he will hack it
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> pretty impressed
that single point of failure went
this long without failing. << same here #2
mircea_popescu: <thestringpuller>
This is personally
the longest I've ever seen gribble AWOL. < same here.
danielpbarron: kakobrekla> any bitcoin poker site already struggles for existence or is half dead or completely dead << because
they don't use
the WoT
Fun: decimation: nor do I however in light of recent geo political events it seems neat
thing
to do
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] i like people who pretend
their convenient misunderstanding is more powerful
than reality. << an amusing
thing
to cross at
this moment
Fun: decimation: so yes about forex dont u
think
those options are kinda cheap
ben_vulpes: Fun:
try again,
that kind of statement doesn't hold any water with me.
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: and how would you know if
the db'd changed?
decimation: it's odd
that gribble died
the same
time
that bitstamp was hacked
ben_vulpes: i hope everyone's been
taking backups of
the db.
ben_vulpes: pretty impressed
that single point of failure went
this long without failing.
thestringpuller: This is personally
the longest I've ever seen gribble AWOL.
thestringpuller: Apocalyptic: you
think gribble won't be back for a few days? Weeks?
ben_vulpes: man how long can we keep
this juggling act up?
Fun: strange
they dont offer whole range
to you
Fun: so how do people register
to
talk here? ":
thestringpuller: more precisely "When you do
things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all."
thestringpuller: "You know you've done
things right when people don't
think you've done anything at all"
Fun: ok u
think price wont change
that much?
Fun: mircea_popescu: what do u mean? feel free
to correct calculations
decimation: the bid/ask spread on
that mar 15 call runs about ~0.007
mircea_popescu: i like people who pretend
their convenient misunderstanding is more powerful
than reality.
Fun: so say 0.10 gain minus 0.0281
thats 0.7 approx * 125.000 right?
Fun: more of b
they hope gov will
tell some bank
to bail
them out
mircea_popescu: Fun because a) it costs money and b)
they don't care, because it's not really
their problem.
Fun: I was watching RBK
today, chairmain of Russian Commerce Chamber was going on
that some russian companies need
to refinance
tons of mid
term debt soon in what I presume usd :) I was
thinking here
that sounds fishy how come
they havent hedged FX risk from
the start
mircea_popescu: Fun noobs have a reputation of wishing
to get involved in
the most complex end of any matter first
thing.
☟︎ Fun: derivative on
top of derivative
Fun: they package stuff
to confuse people imo
decimation: it does appear
that forex is a very specialized
thing
that varies widely with brokerage
decimation: so weirdly my brokerage doesn't appear
to have spot (freestyle?) forex options, only options on futures
mircea_popescu: but an option
to deliver
tomorrow an euro deliverable next week is a whole other layer of nutso.
BingoBoingo kind of really wants kakobrekla
to write an "I
told you so" piece on Bitstamp
decimation: I guess my point is
that a promise
to deliver a euro
tomorrow isn't a spot price
decimation: like, why would you pay
to deliever something
that's only valued
today?
mircea_popescu: look at
the math involved sometime in an idle hour, but from a fundamental perspective, none of
that "this is hw it's done because it's how it's done" circularity.
decimation: actually options on spot probably don't exist, come
to
think on it
decimation: are you implying
that markov chains are doing what
they do?
mircea_popescu: irrespective of widespread belief
to
the contrary, im pretty sure no entity currently can value options on forex futures
decimation: yeah I'm
trying
to find
the options on spot (seems it would be easier) but I am having
trouble
mircea_popescu: what's
the difference between apple pie and pineapple pie ?
mircea_popescu: that one is an option on
the future and
the other on
the spot o.O
Fun: mircea_popescu: whats
the difference?
decimation: to buy a call
that expires 15 jan on
the mar 2015 future, for a strike price of 1.19 costs $0.0096
decimation: the bid/ask spread on eur/usd spot runs about 3
to 4 mili-cents (w/comission)
cazalla: well,
the wallet
that was last audited has been empty since early dec
mircea_popescu: seems
to me like someone likely ran off with a wallet.
BingoBoingo: Well did BitStamp lose a can or
the string?
cazalla: well, bitstamp confirmed unless site has been hacked
too
decimation: Fun: are you asking what
the bid/ask spread is on
the spot? or do you want an option with a ex date and strike price?
Fun: decimation: so how much 1 euro fx lot cost ? option
to buy or sell it at agreed price
ascii_modem: fellas, all
these headaches - ircd/fleanode, notarybot, etc. - one pill. why not one of you carry out my erasurecode-router scheme.
mircea_popescu: about as pleasant a
thing as fifty years worth of dilbert rolled up in one fat joint.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic i dunno wtf he's doing, im sitting here debugging a lengthy string of nonsense resulted from engineer deciding arbitrarily
to selfmanage mid process.
mircea_popescu: for one
thing, ddos'd/hacked is an unlikely combo. which was it ?
Apocalyptic: why rewrite from python
to PHP ? seems like a poor downgrade in everything
decimation: yeah my brokerage allows direct
trading of futures if you have 'approval' and a non-trival account value
punkman: mircea_popescu: it was DDoS'd/hacked, I got some PHP hosting as solution for DDoS. Existing version can be backup withing 24 hours if someone wants
to administer it/protect from ddos/etc. Nobody wants
to do
that, so I haz
to write PHP.
