fluffypony: that's
the new one
that "shut down"
two days ago
fluffypony: then
they shut down and disappear and so sad been hacked
mircea_popescu: but wait,
there's more! with every purchase you're entitled
to one, slightly used, sliughtly worn, slightly slutty
davout: fluffypony: i'm excited about
the bitcoin-central
ticker IPO on bourse
too
mircea_popescu: it has
to be made by hand in darkness and hidrated with virgin
tears!
davout: pankkake and Apocalyptic would know
these
davout: mircea_popescu: i'll bring you a box of "mon chéri" next
time
davout: BingoBoingo seemed
to have some skill
to speak
the dotcoin language
mircea_popescu: it's
the retarded child of a 90s cali valley girl with a
fluffypony: I have
to break my brain
to conform
to
that, it's worse
than
trying
to
talk like Yoda
mircea_popescu: we laugh, but i've had
the occasion
to see first hand people who, on account of all
the
time
they spend devoid of human contact, actually speak like
that.
fluffypony: or a round logo
that looks like a coin
fluffypony: it doesn't have
the word "coin" in
the name
mircea_popescu: i'm kinda rooting for Derp,
the most fast and largest biggest secure herpurrency in
the world.
mircea_popescu: no, but soon it will be
the first cryptoaltcurrency
to offer pencils and yard raking.
mircea_popescu: "Quark is a decentralized crypto-currency
that allows for
the most fast and secure
transactions in
the world."
assbot: Quark - Money reinvented by
the people ( QuarkCoin QRK )
mircea_popescu: jurov
tbh
the locking acct feature is a leftover
that i'd rather
take out
than expand
FabianB: davout: is
the lowest x.eur ask yours?
bitcoinpete: and it's hard
to imagine
the lines in detroit are
that long
jurov: mircea_popescu: lock also locks pushes from
the account?
davout: i'm not sure, when
the account is locked can i cancel orders ? i seem
to recall
that
the answer is no, amirite?
davout: so i'll just post orders up
to (BTC balance - 1 satoshi) for bids
mircea_popescu: davout yes, but consider has
this wide
timespan in my understanding.
davout: (versus cancel, and *then* replace orders, which would leave some
times with no bid/ask)
davout: jurov: so far
the bot actually checks asset balances and changes
the order of canceling and placing orders if
there are not enough assets
to continuously keep orders on
the book
davout: but i was under
the impression you'd consider removing
this feature if nobody was using it
davout: yea,
that's perfectly possible
jurov: is it such a big problem
to subtract 1 satoshi from
these resources?
davout: the answer
to
this question is "i want
to use whatever resources are available
to populate
the X.EUR order book"
mircea_popescu: "is it really desirable
that i don't actually calculate what i want
to buy before i place an order ?"
davout: let me phrase
the question a different way, "is it really desirable
that it's not possible
to put all your BTC in bids without locking your account down?"
davout: because
the behaviour expected would be
to execute
the order up
to
the available resources, which incidentally happens for all other assets, *except* CxBTC, which is purely arbitrary
too :-)
davout: mircea_popescu: sure, i could add a check, but imo a RAND() quantity would count as unspecified, not a X where X may or may not be larger
than my available cash
jurov: but yes, not a bad precaution
to always keep one satoshi
there
fluffypony: bitcoinpete: one of many
things I don't need
to worry about and jurov does :)
mircea_popescu: this is not a problem in most cases, but in high security applications it's good practice
to never do it.
jurov: i'm just in
trollish mood
mircea_popescu: davout in general, it's a bad idea
to execute unspecified actions.
fluffypony looks at his broker
to make sure he has a minimum balance
mircea_popescu: jurov i
think
that's more a matter of, whether you buy or sell, you buy or sel la number of shares, not a qty of cash.
davout: jurov: why is a bot
that uses all available resources be considered as derpy ?
jurov: fluffypony: if you want
to keep
trading yes
fluffypony: so
then are you supposed
to keep a bare minimum balance in
the account?
jurov: or maybe mpex uses it
to prevent numeric overflow.. would explain why overflow happened so far on asset balances only
jurov: davout its biggest use case is
to catch derpy bots
jborkl_: got all my loading placeholders replaced with variables- no visible loading
to end user :)
davout: to summarize, if for any reason your BTC balance gets
to zero your account gets locked
mike_c: jurov: well, yes :) sell below
the cap.
jurov: <mike_c> so nobody in
their right mind would sell it. << you mean buy,
there were sells above max :)
davout: so i'm asking, is anyone with a mpex account relying on
this functionality for anything?
davout: last
time
this happened
the idea was "let's ask people if it's of use
to anyone"
davout: looks like
the X.EUR bot locked itself out my mpex account again
davout: mircea_popescu: can we discuss
the "lock your account down by zeroing it" ?
bitcoinpete: for
the first
time in
their lives,
they just need
to use "in
the us" after everything
mircea_popescu: maybe later
this year someone also does
the first sale of a bitcoin corp stock, and
then it'll be even.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete
these people with
their largest corp/largest event/largest urmom ass are funny.
mircea_popescu: and obv i mean
the noob
thaty highlighted me, not
the cultural referewnce
fluffypony: but definitely interesting
tech when
they come
bitcoinpete: when
the nearest dealer/service centre is 1000km away
bitcoinpete: our little city has jumped on
the bandwagon
bitcoinpete: though
there are a
ton of
them out
this summer
bitcoinpete: fluffypony: lol i had
that phase
too. it passes
fluffypony: bitcoinpete: aaaand now I want
to buy a
Tesla.
thanks.
fluffypony: and when
the Bank of England falls! England Falls!
fluffypony: when
the Bank of England stands! England stands!
davout: after watching it with my daughter it was
the first
time ever she wanted
to spontaneously go clean up her room
davout: mircea_popescu: she has
this botomless bag
danielpbarron: fluffypony,
that's what I assumed; I guess it'll always be like
that for me (I haven't looked at
that site in weeks i
think)
assbot: View
the profile of Spollie
fluffypony: if it was a friend I would be all for banning
them :-P
danielpbarron: fluffypony, not shared with anyone else who would use
that site
