dignork: mircea_popescu, sure, but so far bitcoin-otc based on WOT is the closest to OTC that I've seen so far
mircea_popescu: as opposed to "in an 'organised' ie regulated market"
mircea_popescu: dignork otc as a concept. "over the counter"
truff1es: ppl can change their minds
dignork: mircea_popescu, you said before that bitcoin-otc is irrelevant
fluffypony: unfortunately the majority of them are kinda-nerdy-oh-look-here-I-can-get-rich
mircea_popescu: 500 is too many for spartans.
mircea_popescu: depends who they are.
fluffypony: it's tiny
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at the point of 2014.
mircea_popescu: no btc/fiat exchangesd for them. herp.
asciilifeform: wonder at what point exchanges will survive primarily on payola from whoever they are stoolies for, rather than commissions
mircea_popescu: the various fiat jurisdictions had ~5 years to get their shit together and suck our cock enough to acquire this revenue stream.
mircea_popescu: the future belongs to otc trades of btc.
mircea_popescu: fuck the local exchange.
fluffypony: even though I keep telling them to
fluffypony: I have a lot of people I know that prefer to buy from me instead of buying on the local exchange
asciilifeform: at this point, even the most threadbare engineer is probably just buying coin from his coworkers
mircea_popescu: so i guess the scammers get a whole new market now.
mircea_popescu: if you want 20k worth of btc, no fucking way you'll take that level of service. just find an escort that does COF CIM and BTC
mircea_popescu: they've painted themselves in a corner, basically. if all you wanna do is buy 20 bucks wortha btc to "have some", no way in fuck do you go through all the caudine forkland of "send us a pic with you holding a seal". odds are you don't even have a phone.
asciilifeform: (or this happened ages ago, and i'm just the last one to notice)
mircea_popescu: "because the exchanges are less and less relevant" ?

keonne: let us know how that goes
nubbins`: i should try this on my wife when she gets home
nubbins`: i want to enter your bloody tunnel
truffles: is that code for sex?
keonne: bloody tunnels
nubbins`: if we were fencing, i'd say touche
daybyter: maybe I'm just the first one who had this idea? :-)
nubbins`: why reinvent the wheel!
nubbins`: i googled everything back in the days of writing code ;D
daybyter: I used antenna back in the days of j2me projects.
daybyter: add android.jar to the required libs?
daybyter: no I wonder how to compile it best.
daybyter: I have a lib that should run on desktop and android.
fluffypony: keonne: I was about to say the same thing
keonne: daybyter: not being snarky but dont all android devs have to know java? i thought that was part of the deal.
nubbins`: it could be argued that you just picked the wrong provider to start with
nubbins`: to make it worth $500, you'd need to save ~$21/mo by switching providers
nubbins`: ostensibly you're changing providers to get a better rate
keonne: in UK i go to the corner shop
nubbins`: not sure about that
keonne: i remmeber not even being able to get a sim card in canada
nubbins`: i pay, i think, $50/mo
nubbins`: which (sorry to ruin the surprise) was the crux of my argument
TomServo: nubbins`: I'm just saying, that is what makes it a "better deal" to some people.
keonne: and i have unlimited 4g data in both the US and Europe
nubbins`: keonne: well, that depends heavily on how good you are at bargaining
TomServo: nubbins`: I think it depends on how much you value being able to switch carriers on a whim.
keonne: how much is the contract per month?
daybyter: got my new smartphone today.
keonne: how much are those?
nubbins`: $700 straight-up or $200 on a two-year contract
keonne: depends on the price of the phone
nubbins`: explain to me how buying the phone outright is a better deal in the long run
keonne: or not be on a train going into tunnels
truffles: im gonna aim for that 200 next phone!
nubbins`: how about the one i asked :D
nubbins`: well, that certainly answers a different question
nubbins`: what's the difference?
nubbins`: or you spend the extra $500, and two years later, you own your phone
nubbins`: suppose you save $500 by getting a subsidy. at the end of your two-year contract, you own your phone
nubbins`: might as well put a coca-cola logo on there
truffles: ppl actually back things up with scientific data itc? pfff
fluffypony: those are the cases we have
nubbins`: no doubt you've got some math to back that up
