BingoBoingo: You pass it
to
the node. bitcoind could probably be abused into doing
that. Armory does
that well. Electrum effectively does
that if you only have it connect
to
the node at 127.0.0.1
danielpbarron: does bitcoind let me create a
transaction on one machine, and sign it on another/
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: I like
the idea of separating roles.
dub: check if your password is on
tpb
BingoBoingo: Oh,
the perils of relying on other people's computers for so much.
moiety: i can't remember my ebay password and I'm locked out of my google account
to reset it
moiety: my internet just had a
tantrum and fucked off for a minute or
two
dexX7: worked for me,
too
pankkake: I
tried
to change my eBay password a few weeks ago. I didn't work.
Duffer1: no i dunno, i've never heard of
them until just now
Duffer1: sounds about as legit as
the first one
BingoBoingo: dexX7: Broke ass
thing
that aspires
to be what
the foundation imagines it is
assbot: Ebay asks all users
to change passwords| Reuters
dexX7: what's
that anyway? foundation 2.0?
Apocalyptic: fluffypony, funny
thing it does no longer do
that on me
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Click one of
their register buttons and see how
they accept payment
fluffypony: BingoBoingo:
that paragraph breaks my brain
fluffypony: "hey look how cool I am, member of
the American Bitcoin elite, proud Foundation bronze member, free Ross Ulbricht!"
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: And what do
the cards even do?
fluffypony: all
their cards look like poor Amex knockoffs
assbot: Irssi -
The client of
the future
pankkake: if irsii, a

Apocalyptic: <bitcoingirl> if i want
to short BTC, what would be a good strategy? // borrow
them from someone
fluffypony: this part: "I learned it last summer when I spent 3 BTC on a $450 case of wine in Kelowna.
Today, I could’ve bought
that case for 0.64 BTC, and probably more like 0.1 BTC before long,
then 0.001 BTC, etc."
fluffypony: bitcoingirl: every
time I've
tried doing any sort of short-term
trading I've lost money...I'd avoid
that space unless you have
tons of experience
bitcoingirl: if i want
to short BTC, what would be a good strategy?
moiety: i usually check ident when i wake up
too, and
this morning i just
thought, nah it'll be fine lol
BingoBoingo: assbot pulls up
tickers for various bitcoin related assets
assbot: The round stones beneath
the earth... have spoken
through
the fire.
fluffypony: bitcoingirl: which part,
the market info from gribble?
bitcoingirl: sorry if
these seem like dumb questions - I'm just jumping in WOT
BingoBoingo: bitcoingirl: It's a bot
that reports information.
fluffypony: especially at a 3 day scale
the MACD seems
to indicate
that some upward movement is due...or it'll just settle back down
bitcoingirl: what is
this gribble
that keeps coming up?
fluffypony: and in Settings
turn
the MACD indicator on
fluffypony: use a 3d or 1d (3 day / 1 day) scale
to get a more macrocosmic view
fluffypony: for
the casual observer such as myself
fluffypony: lots of
traders have
tools
they've bought / built / whatever
bitcoingirl: where would you monitor
the price if your
trading on bitstamp
fluffypony: bitcoingirl:
the movement started on Bitstamp
BingoBoingo: Trying
to shape supply and demand can be a way
to lose a lot of money quickly
though.
fluffypony: but it can also backfire and people can sell into
the buy wall faster
than
the
trader can pull it
fluffypony: it can make sellers move
their offers up higher because
they
think it's an indicator of demand
fluffypony: bitcoingirl: like if someone puts up a bunch of offers
to buy Bitcoin at $450 each
totalling $200k, when
the market is at $460,
that's a buy wall
assbot: Charles Plosser
thinks
there’s a
ticking
time bomb at
the Fed - Capitol Report - MarketWatch
fluffypony: still, at 3 day scale
the MACD looks promising
fluffypony: and it can
turn on
them just as quickly as succeed
fluffypony: bitcoingirl: buy a significant quantity of Bitcoins, setup structured buy walls below market value
to create
the illusion of demand, all sorts of
things can be done
to
try get it going
bitcoingirl: how does someone
try
to start a rally? what did
they do exactly
to move
the market?
fluffypony: broke
through
the wall at 475, and stopped short of breaking
through 500
fluffypony: and
then someone
tried
to start a rally, wasn't massively successful, but it picked up a bit of steam
fluffypony: the reality is
that
the market is poised for movement
bitcoingirl: you sure it wasn't
the Fox Business interview?
BingoBoingo: bitcoingirl: It was probably people on
twitter
telling Gavin
to shut up
that did it.
assbot: A Guillotine On a Stick
That Lets You Play Caesar With Slugs
bitcoingirl: does anyone have a guess on what drove
the price up 10% yesterday?
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell anarkitty hey
there. ima be out for a few hours, but please don't go anywhere, i wanna
talk
to you whjen i'm back. you can
talk
to me directly by going /query mircea_popescu whether you have voice or not.

fluffypony: most of
the people I'd
trust with any portion of my money are not particularly "nice" people. Approachable, sure, and always reasonable, but not nice by any definition of
the
term.
mircea_popescu: cazalla has an excellent
theory, i had no idea he's another zhou
tong
fluffypony: moiety: whenever someone gets arrested for huge amounts of fraud, pedophilia, whatever,
they interview all his neighbours and friends and
they're always like "we're so shocked, he's such a nice guy!"
cazalla: TF probably finished his degree and like a lot of international students, pull a fast one on credit cards etc etc and piss off back home
to avoid paying back
the debt
moiety: i
totally understand
that. I'm
the way I am because I didn't know
the business of it all, i knew
the character and
thats why it's so hard for me
to believe
BingoBoingo: I just can't get over
TF losing a decade from his age by becoming insolvent.
fluffypony: moiety: and just
to re-iterate, I don't know
the guy, so I'm not judging his character either way, I'm just saying
that *anyone* with sole control over
that amount of money would have a
tough
time staying honest
mircea_popescu: bitcoingirl ok but make it quick cause i gotta go
to
town in a few minutes.
mircea_popescu: the difference is
that i can write a check for
ten millioin dollars
to a stripper, if i feel like it
mircea_popescu: this happens
to also be why i'm quite so powerful. sure
there's other people with money on
twitter, VCs or whatnot.
mircea_popescu: so you gotta have a big corp
to sell overpriced shit
to another big corp
mircea_popescu: which is why random nobodies can't b2b. because for
the corp, it's
too much like simply being stolen from
mircea_popescu: corp only pays specific
types of
things
to specific
types of people and
that's
that.
mircea_popescu: basic corp governance, nobody may write checks on
the corp account.
mircea_popescu: the only reason it doesn't happen, as long as it doesn't, is
that
they don't actually have access
to it.
fluffypony: the reason
this doesn't happen in big companies is because of
the number of people involved
fluffypony: and once you've stolen a little it snowballs into "how can I steal
the whole lot"
