Shakespeare: sry i'm not sober, went
to my first football game
mircea_popescu: mpex options never worked as
this popularly delusional "engine
to
turn derpage into monyz/social relevance"
Shakespeare: i aint asking for
the world, you used
to offer option after all
bounce: then replace obamaman for
the social justice angle
mircea_popescu: maybe i should replace obama, but in such a way as
to make
the usg work
the way you want it
to ?
Shakespeare: mp, at least
that gives you an idea of where i stand
though
bounce: you're fired up because you want
to pitch, and you get rebuffed. gone investment, gone good monies! rage! and it goes downhill from
there. --
there's an implied promise with
this idea
that I'm not happy with.
bounce: think about it. suppose you're neither l1 or l2, and you stick money in it. you start your valuable because costly pitch.
then someone puts
the !down on you.
Shakespeare: every !down puts 10satoshi debt on
their wot
bounce: hmno. initially I'd say as long as it isn't
the only way. but you'd get peddlers expecting
to be heard for
their money. you know, query floods, rageddos, etc.
kakobrekla: 1 satoshi per char for all so everyone will shut
the fuck up!
Shakespeare: good way
to offset
the chill factor from !up
Shakespeare: <+mircea_popescu> guy puts 1 bitcent in, gets a !up from assbot. // might be on
to something
there
Shakespeare: futures, and margin and leverage would be nice
too.
Shakespeare: <+mircea_popescu>
thickasthieves: would love if mpex or an mpex property offered any sort of price instrument
that would allow moving volume from other exchanges << specifically ? /// well, i'll start with
the moon: just buy bitfinex and offer
the whole shebang! otherwise, just would be nice
to
trade somewhere more private,
transparent and
trustworthy.
The product could be options,
decimation: note
to young 'progressive' 'open source' coders: you have swallowed
the kool-aid. If you actually want
to make a difference and not end up like Mr. Ramey, please focus on
the pipes, from

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i will
take it very personally if
the actual financial collapse of
the us is brought about by a manic attempt
to chase losses in
their failed attempts
to maninpulate
the btc price. << lol!
those causes.
mircea_popescu: bitches better be resourceful, what is
this $1200 a month retainer
talk ?
mircea_popescu: at
the rate
things are going,
this curiosity looks likely
to be satisfied.
mircea_popescu: i'd be very curious
to see first hand if
the us based, usg fed "feminists" in
the us would actually pick a rifle and a picket, when it comes
to it.

decimation: oh noes,
terrorists are going
to be HNO3 off of amazon
to make
TNT?
TheNewDeal: might find a couple street bums
trapped in
there
too
decimation: I suspect
they would have
to flush
the beer pipe regularly
mircea_popescu: i imagine if
that
thing's in use for a few centuries
the bugs living in
the pipe will be pretty wow.
TheNewDeal: would be interesting
to
taste
the inbetween state
TheNewDeal: so does a new beer just flush out
the old?
decimation: re: pipes
http://rt.com/news/191132-belgium-build-beer-pipe/ "An underground pipeline carrying 5,700 liters of beer an hour will be built in Belgium’s historic city of Bruges. A family-owned brewery will pump beer direct
to a bottling plant in
the suburbs
to cut
the number of
trucks on ancient cobbled streets."

mircea_popescu: macro events are visible, and
the forest-for-trees problem is something one can approach with
training and
talent
decimation: it's difficult
to inspect
the usg/fed's actions with
the naked eye
decimation: in
the sense
that you can check
that
they are physically unconnected
decimation: if
they are both connected
to
the same von neumann machine (or network of such machines) you can't be certain
decimation: I was
thinking about
this last night. How can you be certain
that your hvac control pipe is not connected
to
the self-destruct
thermite bomb pipe?
mircea_popescu: which happens
to be correct, and peripherally a point i've oft made, say how "bitcoin is not
the derps"
mircea_popescu: in
this perspective,
the blockchain is
the major point of bitcoin
mircea_popescu: in fact, if you get
the pipe right, it doesn't even actually matter if you get anything else right
assbot: Logged on 05-10-2014 18:47:24; mircea_popescu: i doubt hte usg gets anything at
this point. just a lengthy succession of narrow "experts" who keep passing data cross a "telephone wire", while
the meanings of
the
terms used change on every pass.
assbot: Logged on 05-10-2014 18:32:30; mircea_popescu: i gotta say btw,
the pipe is like...
the greatest invention ever.
bounce: lay down
the pipe and open a window. slowly!
mircea_popescu: that
thing's a lot more fundamental
than usually given credit for
mircea_popescu: in a sense,
thinking about it...
the usg problems come down
to a poor implementation of
the pipe.
bounce: pffft.
they /are/
the fed. it's not actually an usg institution.
decimation: TheNewDeal:
that's
the point,
thus
the usg is responsible for
their actions, as mp just wrote
TheNewDeal: all
the biggest banks are in bed with
the fed anyways
decimation: they
think
they bank with some local bank, not
the fed/fdic/whatever
decimation: many in
the us are easily confused on
this point
decimation: personally I find it far more likely
that some big bank/'investment house' is doing usg's bidding in exchange for future favors from usg
decimation: there's alot of btc
that wants
to be washed
decimation: well, someone is 'renting' all
those miners for over
the expected return
