gribble: (ticker [--bid|--ask|--last|--high|--low|--avg|--vol] [--currency XXX] [--market <market>|all]) -- Return pretty-printed ticker. Default market is Bitstamp. If one of the result options is given, returns only that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations). If '--currency XXX' option is given, returns ticker for that three-letter currency code. It is up to you to make sure (1 more message)
kakobrekla: looks like the fall isnt over for today.
kakobrekla: anyway i think b4x is better tool for currency bets
nubbins`: so gribble can generate a ,,$rand but does anyone know how to restrict the range?

jurov: Settlements will also be delayed until September 25th. It should however remain possible to buy X.EUR futures until that time unless the market maker bot somehow explodes in flight.
mike_c: The20YearIRCloud: so why don't they just put in bids..
jurov: does anyone know davout's blog? iirc he postponed x.eur expiration to september 21?
The20YearIRCloud: thestringpuller: a few of our larger investors want more equity shares, and there's no way to sell it outside of havelock
thestringpuller: On Thursday, September 18th, 2014 at 11:00AM (EST), a public offering will open for Rental Starter .

xmj: "today i learned dollar.fail redirects to bitcoin.org"
thestringpuller: is anyone from bitstamp in the WoT?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we already have 'many read few write.' nobody's really fooled by the erzats-writers.
ben_vulpes: it's the pesky client documents
ben_vulpes: there isn't enough time in the world to teach the lawyers scm
ben_vulpes: xmj: have you ever actually hammered out contracts with client legal teams?
ThickAsThieves: i've got my ∞ tattoo, so it's like a lifetime pass
mircea_popescu: <Namworld> and supermarket price tags to all read $∞? << yes because no matter what $∞ purchase you pay with an $∞ bill you're still owed $∞ in change.
mircea_popescu: the ease with which an appearance of wrioting can be imparted on children in the latin empire may be the actual downfal of this entire thing
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 maybe there's something to be said for a many read few write system, upon consideration.
mike_c: no way. if you use a lawyer to sue your clients you end up losing money.
thestringpuller: getting paid to sue clients for money they owe you for violating SOW
ben_vulpes: "please send me a diff of this amended SOW against the previous one"
thestringpuller: <+ThickAsThieves> goal is to reach infinity dollars << i wonder if you could trick someone into think that is a real currency
Namworld: and supermarket price tags to all read $∞?
ThickAsThieves: goal is to reach infinity dollars
ThickAsThieves: you have the wrong definition of goal tho
bounce: easy enough fix. they fudged their definition so much to make it seem lower that they have plenty of headroom fudging the definition so it's back at goal.

mats_cd03: it is pretty typical for chinese people to forget how to write this or that character... how common is that for westerners?
mats_cd03: writing them, not so much.
mats_cd03: its inefficient, because while recognizing them is easy
mircea_popescu: lol bitbet can't approve hurricane bet because the hurricane center site is down
mircea_popescu: granted the alphabetic notation is much better mnemotechnic than the stupidity of pictograms, which is why modern language use alphabets and words.
mircea_popescu: i scarcely see the problem. i know about half a million words and never confuse them
mats_cd03: http://thesprawl.org/projects/ida-sploiter some ROP bits in there
mats_cd03: the kangxi dictionary, standardized during the qing, has... 47k characters.
mats_cd03: even highly educated chinese (~6000 character mastery) sometimes write complex characters incorrectly, and dont realize it due to the sheer number of them in existence
mats_cd03: actually, chinese in general is pretty terrible
mats_cd03: simplified chinese is terrible.
mats_cd03: ThickAsThieves: thx m8
mats_cd03: 22:28:50 <+mircea_popescu> something with dogshit in it << looks like something meant to be synonymous with 'fiat'. so, fiat held by those smelly dog shits.

ThickAsThieves: the video game where you can hack anything is called Watch Dogs, i think

kakobrekla: at least this one speaks!
Namworld: Well it's the middle of the city, mostly concrete all around. Not much backyards. Plus big cats don't like him on their territory apparently.
mircea_popescu: that's like the only identifiable point of bitcoin programme. "let's act as if idiots didn't exist"
mircea_popescu: because we mostly don't care to deal with idiots ?
mircea_popescu: like renaming homeless people something else : now you get a year or so breathing space while everyone redoes the studies in the new name
Namworld: Cloud hacking? Is there games/movies about people who can hack into everything electric? Yup.
mircea_popescu: hollywood needed better tropes.
mircea_popescu: lol maybe this is the cause for the cloud
assbot: Main/Magic Floppy Disk - Television Tropes & Idioms
mircea_popescu: conventional fiction just isn't worth the time
Namworld: Don't old hacking/spy/etc movies all look like that anyway? Plots that don't make sense, with floppy disks.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: what do you think of #b-a media?
Namworld: Next episode: Hacker and his gang's daring escape with the floppy disk containing half a billion USD. Hot pursuit, treason and more!
Namworld: Someone found is laptop, saw who's it was, planted his malware, gave it back. Mark has it connected to backend while working.
punkman: "Maybe it’s too strong to use that word, but being pirated—having someone entering your server without you knowing it—is close to being violated, like a virtual rape."
kakobrekla: you forgot " and each time someone brought it back to me."
los_pantalones: prob something that would cause you to put someone else in charge of security
los_pantalones: "I have forgotten my laptop on a park bench numerous times"
punkman: someone's gonna try the rubberhose eventually
assbot: Vilified Bitcoin Tycoon After Losing $500 Million: My Life Is at Risk - The Daily Beast
thestringpuller: i think you're getting soft :P
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: anybody else is either too stupid or too poor << the funny part is, if i actually had any palpable coin, i'd find this kind of mental process more arduous, rather than less. being armchair general vs. the actual kind. easier.
mircea_popescu: well in that sense sure.
asciilifeform: different coinbase << traded in meatspace. purely analogue operation.
asciilifeform: i see it as virtually certain that the sr stash was 'washed' - i.e. traded for some quantity of 'uninteresting' coin, of the kind the public has not been sniffing the blockchain history of on a daily basis; which was then used as fuel with which to stoke gambits like 'ethereum.'
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] [PAID] 7.47492200 BTC to 1`149`988 shares, 650 satoshi per share
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 1.27218897 BTC to 15`093 shares, 8429 satoshi per share
mircea_popescu: kinda why the entire "public auction of btc" thing turned into such an embarassment for the usg.
mircea_popescu: well... no demand then right ?
mircea_popescu: ensure too strong a word. but suppose you don't let terrorists run their own exchanges, nor deposit to yours. ☟︎
asciilifeform: as i understand, they are simply baking on painting the tape 'dark enough' with arse-mouth lowball bids.
asciilifeform: but how does usg ensure that no third party outbid it ?
mircea_popescu: anybody else is either too stupid or too poor to be concerned with such matters.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: anybody other than us discussing this publicly ?
mircea_popescu: kinda the idea. "make it impossible to sell btc to third parties, continue to pretend like the price is low, gold v2.0"
asciilifeform: the usd printer doesn't even have to engage unless an outsider shows up to purchase a cheap coin.
asciilifeform: had a thought. usg's btc price dampener strategy has no clear endgame - the 'ethereum' thing will carry on while the usd printing press runs, because it stands to reason they are running both the sell and -buy- ends of the machine. 'arse-mouth system.' ☟︎
