mircea_popescu: davout what's netherlands, like a team or something ?
kakobrekla: basically regardless of which protocol you pick these things can happen
kakobrekla: but i was thinking in a sense - you submit your order via whatever protocol and there is some delay to response or it may never come
assbot: Some dude in r/soccer made the best bet of his life - Imgur
kakobrekla: yeah true that. only im not using email. but still, same thing applies
pankkake: the issue is that mails can sometimes be stuck for days
kakobrekla: i think.
kakobrekla: but in my case ill just skip that.
kakobrekla: <pankkake> I was thinking of e-mail interface, it seemed ideal. except you'd probably want to set an expiration for the order < yeah i was thinking same yesterday
FabianB: "12:49 <+davout> e-mail interface would be neat-o" <-- looks like the irc interface is down as well, so it's probably not the frontend server, it's the trade engine itself
davout: pankkake: interesting thanks!
davout: that's actually the kind of interface i was thinking about when trying to figure out how to handle DDoS without cloudflare
davout: pankkake: that for one, also linking orders to responses would be another issue
pankkake: I was thinking of e-mail interface, it seemed ideal. except you'd probably want to set an expiration for the order
davout: yeah, proxy down too
assbot: MPEx, the Bitcoin securities exchange.
davout: ;;later tell mircea_popescu "it's gonna be 25-0 for germany" <<< implying netherlands won't buttraep argentina :D
ThickAsThieves: <+kyuupichan> Is the leverage on bitfinex mostly long or short or pretty balanced? //// there's a meter on the site
cazalla: ISIS videos have been on there for weeks
cazalla: yeah but they usually last longer
cazalla: wow, sexysaffron already removed from youtube, i bet you andreas did this
kyuupichan: Is the leverage on bitfinex mostly long or short or pretty balanced?

assbot: Police Use Dog To Find Memory And Hard Drives In Search : The Two-Way : NPR
TheNewDeal: gotta head to bed, but I'll leave you with this. Child-porn sniffing dawgs http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/07/08/329501226/police-use-dog-to-find-memory-hard-drives-in-search?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20140708
nubbins`: however, businesses that are directly involved in btc
nubbins`: registered ones w/ employees probably aren't just going to start paying salaries with bitcoin and stop deducting income tax
TheNewDeal: great for the bitcoin economy. simply amazing
TheNewDeal: why the tears nubbins'?
nubbins`: TheNewDeal, that's already happening all the time ;(
Duffer1: that would be hard to make auditproof without trustworthy mixing services
TheNewDeal: wonder if the first underground economy was above ground or below
TheNewDeal: that's the term I was looking for
TheNewDeal: wouldn't be too far-fetched to see people being paid in bitcoin, avoiding government taxation
TheNewDeal: I also heard the black market of employment is increasing at a faster rate than that of typical tax-payer employment
Duffer1: if bitcoin wants a capital draw then it will probably be porn and gambling leading the way
TheNewDeal: seems like that is going to happen a dozen times over
Duffer1: the derp money ran face first into the bitcointalk securities scam wall
TheNewDeal: I think the mt cox fiasco really messed with the price, wouldn't be surprised if we were sub 1200 by years end
kyuupichan: Well the first 6 months have been pretty "meh". :)
TheNewDeal: for some reason I think this year is going to be meh
TheNewDeal: I would love to see it go towards $1500 this year, but I think next year is going to be a big one pricewise
TheNewDeal: ahhh gotcha, I guess there is a grey area with indicies of equities
kyuupichan: Still I don't think BTC goes to over $2k this year now. I'd be happy with 1500
kyuupichan: Yeah I think equities are looking a bit toppy
TheNewDeal: S&P 500 is sitting at a fragile 1900 at the moment
assbot: BitBet - Bitcoin to win vs S&P 500 :: 0.73 B (63%) on Yes, 0.43 B (37%) on No | closing in 6 months 5 days | weight: 97`197 (100`000 to 1)
TheNewDeal: http://bitbet.us/bet/989/bitcoin-to-win-vs-s-p-500/ this bet is very interesting to me
kyuupichan: Lloyd Blankfein turns believer and publicly puts $100m in BTC.
Duffer1: they'll price it at whatever the hell they want
kyuupichan: 10k is quite a tall order in 5 mths though.
TheNewDeal: I think you would probably just need a bitstamp like company to go Mt Gox, have a bunch of fishy shit go down, and the other exchanges follow the lead
TheNewDeal: I don't think financial crises necessarily means boom for bitcoin
kyuupichan: I wonder what it'd take to get BTC to 10k by 29 Nov. World financial crisis perhaps?
TheNewDeal: pretty much what you said there
kyuupichan: I guess it's useful for stats. Not very private though which is why I wondered why people do it. Maybe they just don't care.
TheNewDeal: don't feel the need to change it up often
kyuupichan: Why do you reuse the address? Just curious.
TheNewDeal: if you would like to purchase some timeweight from me, give me a holler

decimation: asciilifeform: I've been using org-mode recently, it is definitely a useful tool
TheNewDeal: not that I have a say in the matter :D
TheNewDeal: i guess that's pretty fair
kyuupichan: Between them they own most of bitbet meaning they almost bet for free
mike_c: er, * percentage they do own i mean
mike_c: 1% * (percentage they don't own) - expenses.
TheNewDeal: how much would one recover from the losing side, considering they owned a large portion of bitbet shares?
TheNewDeal: assuming 16tAo is kako, and 1K4fs is mp, how much does each make in the winning/losing scenario
kyuupichan: Right. Notice they were placed at the same time - making it highly likely they knew each other were going to bet. There was no public discussion. Hence my suspicion it's kako.
kyuupichan: haha, that's a possibility, but I think he normally uses 1K4fs (or sthg similar)

TheNewDeal: was looking at this
kyuupichan: Someone who's close to MP at any rate
asciilifeform: (apologies to sir walter scott)
asciilifeform: Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, / Who never to himself hath said, / This is my own, my native shell! / Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd, / As home his footsteps he hath turn'd, / From wandering on a winblows hell!
asciilifeform: lives there a man who doesn't use nano? (or, 'pico' ?)

benkay: poo stench still oozes through
asciilifeform: life in literal sense. little oasis in a parched desert of dry turd.

decimation: "The Defense Department has leveraged the buying power of more than two million information technology users to award a three-year, $617 million joint enterprise license agreement for Microsoft products, defense officials announced."
asciilifeform: (why? ask them - not me)
decimation: yeah, the amount of extra work you have to go through to meet mil-spec for avionics, etc, why bother changing software?
