mircea_popescu: only for the past 5 months
imsaguy2:
mircea_popescu: you pay interest?!
markac:
mircea_popescu: "smickles" (de to en, translate.google.com)
smickles:
mircea_popescu: no competition? s2cm ate bad debt via pirate and still gives its shareholders a gain. I'd say that's an epic win
smickles:
mircea_popescu: based on the last price, ss would be a 75.891883% gain when you include dividend payments
smickles:
mircea_popescu: i found it to be quite nice. I liked accounting for it :)
smickles:
mircea_popescu: you got it a bit backwards
smickles: oh,
mircea_popescu it's not going to be a 1k wall because there's about 650 shares of treasure stock atm
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: thats not even funny dude
smickles: so judging from
mircea_popescu's last statement, never
smickles:
mircea_popescu: i'm about to request the withdrawal from mpex to glbse, so the wall will be up in due course ;)
Diablo-D3: smickles,
mircea_popescu: I think the problem is this
Diablo-D3: [07:01:59] <
mircea_popescu> "let's give people arbitrary numbers of currency they can spend, this way they are invested"
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: No, I pretty much sound like you'd think Satan would sound like.
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: its the meme effect
dub:
mircea_popescu: no, its pgas
dub:
mircea_popescu: gig has under half of the 200gh he has issued
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: so this is more "What can be listed on MPEX?", not "How does one list on MPEX?".
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: I just realized that on your post, you don't answer the "how does one list on mpex". Shouldn't you at least give an email to use to propose you a new asset for MPEX?
pigeons:
mircea_popescu: oh so you're working on a system where users can take delivery or provide hash power for the contracts?
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: I haven't read it before
Ignatius-otc:
mircea_popescu, is there anything in the works to bring in new assets to mpex, or are you just letting that take care of itself?
OneEyed: Oops, was directed to
mircea_popescu femtotube: "
mircea_popescu | everyone can delete their own posts " no, he ask forum mods to delete users questions from the form threads he has started
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: s^Kludge^Kluge, s^ideea^idea
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: they execute people over there for using tor
rg: [14:06] <GamblingMan> So let me ask you this
mircea_popescu: What is the worst investment I could make on the GLBSE?
GamblingMan: So let me ask you this
mircea_popescu: What is the worst investment I could make on the GLBSE?
GamblingMan:
mircea_popescu: you were in here bashing someone for not knowing "GSDPT is the highest yielding asset on GLBSE"
GamblingMan: now I know that
mircea_popescu is 100% full of shit.
GamblingMan:
mircea_popescu claimed it was the highest yielding asset.
GamblingMan:
mircea_popescu: You claimed in here that SD was the highest yielding asset on the GLBSE.
GamblingMan: I bought some because
mircea_popescu claimed it was the highest paying asset on the GLBSE, but it looks like it is actually the lowest....
midnightmagic:
mircea_popescu: Your -pr girl wasn't the only one calling pirate a scam. There were lots of other people. On the other hand, there's still no hard evidence that anyone has seen that it is. Not yet. The only thing going for the notion is time, but there are alternative explanations.
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: I hadn't read the whole thread, I just read your new local rules indeed :)
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: don't act as if you were *the* messiah announcing what's true and what's not :)
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: is it really the case?
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: if you refer to claims made outside of the contract, I have to agree with you, however, if you stick to the contract, I don't see he defrauded people.
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: I would use the same terms as Goat contract, but replace PPS 1MH/s by "average air temperature at 6:00 minus 20 degrees"
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: if I sell you a "temperature bond" whose dividends are indexed on what the average temperature is at 6:00 in Paris every day, would it be a fraud not to invest into hot air?
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: yes, I understand. But even knowing he doesn't own some, as long as the investors get exactly what they paid for, i.e. coupons indexed on PPS 1MH/s, I don't see as a violation of the contract itself. But I won't redo the discussion here :)
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: you belong to those thinking he has to own mining rigs to offer such a contract whose coupons are based on a fixed mining performance?
dub: but
mircea_popescu is right, im an exfag
rdponticelli_:
mircea_popescu: Have you thought about listing ASICMINER on mpex?
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: I calculated it as >800
Diablo-D3: [05:12:50] <
mircea_popescu> iirc mostly obsi and usagi
guruvan:
mircea_popescu: I've certainly seen money mangers get squeezed in the big markets....not often, but big when it happens
guruvan: ya know
mircea_popescu I'm surprised no one's tried a big short squeeze when they know someone has a big short
femtotube:
mircea_popescu: and how many CO's are listed in NYSE and NASDAQ?
femtotube:
mircea_popescu: correct and that what i was trying to tell you
femtotube:
mircea_popescu: but the flying D is inevstinf to different GLBSE issues. So, if there is nothing left to invest, who will they be worth anything?
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: yeah, my computations were totally out
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: ok, so they could get away with 3 days maybe, so 1/10th of the monthly bets, or 1/5th of the average profit. Might be enough as a scam though.
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: it depends, dodn't forget that if SatoshiDice were to stop paying people, word will spread very rapidly, since they use 0 confirmations payout is immediate
femtotube:
mircea_popescu: are they making 4.2 USD that way?
femtotube: "
mircea_popescu | femtotube just for my curiosity..." I agree, that stealing and walking away not to long after successful IPO are similar acts but they are not really the same.
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: time is a factor. Concerning whether I can code or not, Ohloh can tell you
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: (you can only prove that you bought a share, but that doesn't show that you haven't sold it)
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: more or less - you can still not prove ownership of a share to the asset owner, can you?
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: how would you handle a situation where Patrick would delay the payback of the principal obtained from MPCD?
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: I don't know, it was a question on my side :)
pigeons: if
mircea_popescu was really making money off porn, he would list it on glbse, so i know he's lying
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: does it require a lot of maintenance or does it run mostly by itself? (I would guess the second)
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: how do you make out of MPEX? :)
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: that may be relatively shitty according to some criteria, but for something that requires no maintenance, that's great
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: wow, I guess the girl hit a nerve then
OneEyed: Oh, I thought the porn on
mircea_popescu site was free for all :)
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: did you do anything to him? I don't understand why he goes after MPEX every time he can. Do you owe him money or what?
OneEyed: What happened to ciuciu recently? He seemed to be a nice guy, had pretty interesting deals, but now looks like he shorted a fuse over
mircea_popescu and the porn pictures
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: because since July I've tried to convince myself of the usefulness of bitcoins, and I'm still not much convinced. I've seen almost no use except for trading.
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: come on, we're talking about GLBSE, there is no way to make big bucks with such low liquidity, you know it :)
OneEyed:
mircea_popescu: over what I bought; 100 * 0.03 * 1.005 + 2 * 0.02 = 3.055
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: nope, technically I shouldnt even talk about it
kakobrekla:
mircea_popescu, yes, two dark worlds colliding
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: hes selling his wife?
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: yeah, its just btcmc, btc-mining, and asicminer
guruvan: agreed
mircea_popescu - that would be the absolute best thing for DMC
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: currently? no one.
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: and I dont trust you.
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: well the mhash bond problem is this
Diablo-D3:
mircea_popescu: depends on the price
