cads: mircea_popescu: I would not be able to pay you for your time. I would want to talk to you about high level architecture and implementation details.
cads: mircea_popescu: Is that the kind of project that you would be interested in mentoring?

cads: mircea_popescu: I have a help request and project proposal for you.
cads: hey mircea_popescu , ce faci?
bgupta: mircea_popescu: Arguably one could have said the same about btc 3 years ago… IE: Many claimed btc was a big ponzi scheme that created value out of nothing.. I'm not convinced but there may be value in having more than one cc.
joeykrim: mircea_popescu, talked last night with kakobrekla who recommended i ask you .. ive been putting in bets on bitbet.us and was wondering if you had any insight on why some get rejected?

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu how did you stabilize the price?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu is the bitcoin illuminati, be warned!
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you know, now that I think about it. You are the only public facing individual of mpex. MPOE-PR is very private (in a sense), and the other "board members" are illuminati style hidden.
cole_albon: yeah - I thought you knew a bit too much about the mpex sentiment index. kinda like what a girl would have to know if they were under the employ of mircea_popescu

Lyspooner: ok, mircea_popescu, this will be my parting thought on LTC. You might like it...
bgupta: mircea_popescu: Just because they are totally broken, and constantly going down, you can not discount userbase enthusiasm, usage history, and first mover advantage.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: put the link to trilema on the screen
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu has spoken!!! move btc to bitcoin-central
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: but what busineses are succeeding? even bitinstant and blockchain.info are failures based on most standards
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: why do btc businesses fail so easily?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you should use nigga instead of nigger, more proper
Lyspooner: mircea_popescu: i own zero LTC, but what is different about me saying "the people who say BTC is stupid are stupid" and someone calling me stupid for saying LTC is stupid
mod6: (12:49) < mircea_popescu> back when btc was 5ish it was hella cheap way to learn finance << i certainly learned A LOT

kakobrekla: ;;seen mircea_popescu
deadweasely: mircea_popescu: total armchair criticism here.... does bitbet have too many bets and not enough advertising (not paid necessarily, but maybe new bets are posted in bitcointalk bitbet thread? just talking out my ass here. i like bitbet, big potential there.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: washington dc? why?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I tend to think in the currency I buy food with. Is this really so odd?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mail me one and I'll happily vivisect it and post the result
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: considering what I concluded in that piece, this is hilariously funny
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, that plus https://github.com/Azelphur/pyMPEx (as linked from your manual, actually)
jcpham: mircea_popescu did you tell this guy what to write
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I did (along with a linux box.) GPG works equally well on any reasonable *nix machine.
thestrin1puller: mircea_popescu: you always seem to cheer me up
Rick___: Mircea_popescu is here?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you gave me 1.0, which turned into 1.4. As described in my review of the service.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I'm more of an amateur mathematics crackpot than a serious BTC enthusiast. I have ~3 BTC...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you can repackage and post this if you like, the readers of my little computer architecture blog are probably tired of the BTC ramblings...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: I was arguing from the "may as well hang for a sheep as a lamb" angle.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fair enough. If you screw with the "cattle infrastructure" you will Have Problems, whether it breaks any formal law or not.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ok I see
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what made you remember it now?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thank Alex Tolstoy, not me.
MJR_: mircea_popescu: how do these atm's relate to your "magic money machines"?
MJR_: in fact, mircea_popescu had a great article called "the magic money machine"
[\\\]: mircea_popescu, no, thats illegal
MJR_: sorry mircea_popescu, i cut off your arrow
gesell: mircea_popescu: on that last point, i agree
sturles: mircea_popescu: Yes, many trades are mix-trades between e.g. EUR and USD. And most other currency trades are low in volume.
sturles: mircea_popescu: Doesn't look like it. Seems to be USD only. Much of the trading on MtGox is in other currencies.
sturles: mircea_popescu: You should at leas try to inform yourself about the DDoS against MtGox before coming with uninformed nonsense "for the record".
mpexbot: mircea_popescu: Asks: ['5291 @ 0.00333', '21363 @ 0.00333333', '700 @ 0.0035', '1500 @ 0.00389996', '29541 @ 0.00389997']
mpexbot: mircea_popescu: S.DICE Bids: ['5000 @ 0.00212', '4000 @ 0.002101', '7500 @ 0.00123', '600 @ 0.001002', '100 @ 0.00100121']
sturles: mircea_popescu: What does homebrew has to do with anything?
sturles: mircea_popescu: And my home network is only 6 mbit/s, so I can't follow it during the DDoS sessions. To many order changes.
sturles: mircea_popescu: You have to use the socketIO feed for that.
sturles: mircea_popescu: No.
sturles: mircea_popescu: I have been working in IT for more than 20 years, and homebrew beats commercial products in 9 of 10 cases,.
sturles: mircea_popescu: Does mpex really process 2k trades simultaneously for the same asset?
sturles: mircea_popescu: At what frequency? How many trades per second?
mpexbot: mircea_popescu: 0.106014966965 seconds
sturles: mircea_popescu: You are comparing apples and oranges.
sturles: mircea_popescu: That was not what I wrote.
sturles: mircea_popescu: You want something else. And you are free to make something completely different from MtGox if you think it will be successfull. I don't.
sturles: mircea_popescu: Revenue != profit.
sturles: mircea_popescu: Those are not for public use. You have to pay $$$$$$$ for a licence to connect.
sturles: mircea_popescu: A good trading platform isn't something you can go out and buy.
sturles: mircea_popescu: Do you know of any better exchanges?
mod6: mircea_popescu: it used to be that people didn't go into government service (unless .mil) until they were pretty successful in the private sector. Not any longer, its like people get out of school and they want to go right into government. What gives?
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu ‏@Mircea_Popescu 54s @AdamPosen What are you, like some sort of retard with a high self esteem ?
[\\\]: mircea_popescu: I saw your shocker and raise you a man with no penis: http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/eric-ducharme--the-real-life-mermaid-200251696.html
[\\\]: mircea_popescu: a bunch of hillbillies who have no future
bgupta: mircea_popescu: Well you gotta admit that the ddos took the wind out any thought of a retry at insane rally today.
bgupta: so apparently anonymous took up mircea_popescu's call to pretect freedom by preventing the rise of bitcoin, but instead of selling btc as their methodology, they are ing using a ddos against mtgox. Hey if it can't trade it can't rise. ;)
Bugpowder: mircea_popescu: do you want to be in a documentary re: bitcoin? Was talking to a super early adopter that has been making a doc for the past 2 years. I think he has more liquid coin than you...
jcpham: mircea_popescu has a blog?
[\\\]: mircea_popescu: you weren't supposed to notice
jcpham: mircea_popescu what color is your soapbox?
