thestringpuller: As MPOE-PR tried to argue with me: "There is no farming"
thestringpuller: Look at minecraft's history. It was designed as an infiniminer clone. The alpha was sold at like what 5-10 dollars. It hit the market right at a time when people wanted something of that immersive nature.
thestringpuller: yet it was hailed as one of the greatest crime shows to ever air
thestringpuller: but the service it provides to the bitcoin economy as a whole keeps the market from bottoming out
BingoBoingo: And unlike Dank who I wrote off as uninsteresting early I've got some notes on Diabo-D3, Nefario, Thermos, et al
mircea_popescu: in fairness it was a lot tamer than most of the bs presented as centrist today.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: I quote other things as well.

nubbins`: prolly backdoored as fuck too
thestringpuller: benkay: at that point you might as well sell short options yourself and take all the risk on your collateral
thestringpuller: so as long as MPEx is running mpoe shareholders will get paid something
thestringpuller: well any profits amde by the bot not owed as interest to bond holders gets paid as divs to shareholders

the20year: If I shoot and dress a 1500lb moose, you had darn well better believe i'm gonna bring back as much as I can

Floating point arithmetic is used in order to prevent a user from being able to crash to the bot with something like '10**10**10**10'. One consequence is that large values such as '10**24' might not be exact.

mircea_popescu: the guy, of course, claims he has been making payments, except, of course, to meanies such as me, who wouldn't lie about how he defaulted in the first place.
thestringpuller: Just send me a message signed with your public withdrawal address and I'll get back to you. As you can imagine going to the post office 40 or 50 times is a little time consuming with everything else I have to do. Thx ^^
