joecool: mircea_popescu: i thought france was a muslim country now
joecool: mircea_popescu: it's sorta a non-popular country to see on IRC
joecool: mircea_popescu: how's romania?
unbalanced_: mircea_popescu: I concede. It's rude of me to walk into your house and criticize your wallpaper and the art on the walls.
ezdiy: mircea_popescu: true, in case of 1KBTC i'd have my own doubts regarding your put-call parity :)
Bugpowder: mircea_popescu's margin loans are very different than most BTC loans though, in that it is an accounting that is kept on servers he controls. Thus, the receiver has little opportunity to steal the coins and walk. If you loan coins and that hits the receiver's personal wallet.dat, you are just praying they come back.
ezdiy: mircea_popescu: then hes trusted?
ezdiy: mircea_popescu: if someone gets you 1000BTC, and you'll hold it as a guarantee
ezdiy: mircea_popescu: so let me get this straight
jcpham: mircea_popescu operates by his own made-up rules
ezdiy: well, apparently past reputation guarantees future reputation according to mircea_popescu
ezdiy: mircea_popescu: but i guess you have a liquidity problem so you cant force liquidate positions
ezdiy: mircea_popescu: does not sound too open
unbalanced_: mircea_popescu: finally found a link: http://siliconangle.com/blog/2013/04/11/coinsetter-the-newest-bitcoin-forex-seeks-a-niche-in-the-wild-market/

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I am interested in the question of virile fucktopias because I am interested in "the science of the possible." that is, "the is" vs. the idiot "the ought" that most scholarship tends to be about.
thestringpuller: look at you mircea_popescu droppin' some love wisdom and shit on deez homies
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: maybe the very definition of being an aristocrat is that you don't feel compelled to plug the other guys.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: perhaps you're not. but the fellows behind the tinted windows, are.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the ancients were a different kind of animal from us. they had notions of aristocracy/future-oriented behavour. vs. the tinted window crowd, for whom "I plug the other guy -> get double the gold" is the order of the day.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: point. but I'm not certain it would scale.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: stable shared thrones is probably why Red China outlasted the USSR. but China is a bureaucratic clusterfuck rather than the virile fucktopia you envision.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: let's re-phrase the question a bit: who would you personally be content to share your throne with?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you seem to think that the power game has one level (sexual/personal charisma.) But it really has two: the charismatic men rise to the top, and the winner ends up being the fellow who is quicker on the draw.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and what, you would let the successful generals live? so they can take your throne?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well yes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: Rome needs you
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: seems like you were born a few 1000 years too late...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fast-forward a decade. you run a kingdom. do you care to spend all of your time personally quashing revolts?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so why is the life (and death) of MtGox a subject of interest to you?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to run with the analogy, you should wonder why most of the non-rats are ignoring the Italian restaurant in favour of the garbage dump.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no alternative, if you're a rat. and right now most BTC users are more or less that.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what, exactly, is the practical alternative to Gox right now? OTC, where one has to actually deal with humans? BTC-e, where BTC consistently traces <50USD vs. gox?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nah, the worst reputation is just some random address you can send BTC or wire USD to from which nothing comes out again. MtGox is still a league above the rest, considering that this is what the rest is by default.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at any rate, why are we burying MtGox again? who exactly is a serious contender for its throne?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is more like, you do the 100,000th girl and your cock falls off from exceeding its MTBF.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the damn thing is still online and trading, for one
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as far as I can tell, its shirt is still on. and the operator is laughing all the way to the (fiat) bank.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if speed doesn't matter, why does anyone complain about "goxlag" ?
Scrat: mircea_popescu: you will eat your hat if this turns into the next google
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: so, blocks are going to keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger, right?
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: btw something Im interested in
thestringpuller: as mircea_popescu indicated
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you made an exchange though that you now own
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there are a great many interesting hard problems, and life is short.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you, on the other hand, have plenty of motivation to try, possibly.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I might, if I lacked anything else to do. Personally I'm not sitting on a stable of slaves waiting to be Sokobanned.
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: but a lot of people have already built mining farms in their basements
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: it probably would be
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: here's a starting point: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.52.41
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: yes, and cpus are the highest economy of scale
