mircea_popescu: i should take a bet for when this mpoe-pr = mp thing finally dies.
ThickAsThieves: best evidence i have is "last I heard from a chinese parent in my kids chinese class (which was maybe a few months back) in that in China EVERYONE was into litecoin."
mircea_popescu: "I don't get it. Why do you insist on making everyone think MPOE-PR is not MP? Why deceive your customers with something so trivial to figure out?
BingoBoingo: One can spend all day imagine brains with an MRI tube without having the slightest idea about what Magnetic Resonance is.
BingoBoingo: Well, for most people most things are either myth or magic
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo china is this beloved myth
asciilifeform: or whatever the technical term for this is.
asciilifeform: possible that ltc market has become 'lightweight' enough to simply 'throw'

mike_c: if difficulty increases stay this low, cap won't be a problem
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: that's hilarious. :-) Thank you for sharing with us your SEC interaction; I hope you continue to do so. For what it's worth, I am being sincere.
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Well if they are reading the logs, I would be happy to sort them out with the GPG and registering with the WoT
benkay: if he straight up ignored the girl she'd probably go bonkers
ThickAsThieves: i wonder how badly they even want to bother with sorting you out
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I know the benkay and bitcoinpete readings of the emails are that the SEC will crash into you. I like to think that decoding your last email has been assigned to a few committees and all of the summer interns
benkay: on the topic of non-sentient-beings: http://amultiverse.com/comic/2010/07/19/sentient-gardens/
benkay: a man once spoke to me about explicit collateralization of options.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I imagine that could be one of the happiest Bitcoins you could ever part with
mike_c: so the suggestion is contracts with different caps?
ThickAsThieves: jurov solved this issue long ago
ThickAsThieves: so allow ability for writer to publisj the cap
mircea_popescu: power over the design i have, but over reality i do not.
ThickAsThieves: and seize teh day
ThickAsThieves: or you can accept that you do have power over the design
ThickAsThieves: so you can cling to the current design and blame the user
ThickAsThieves: and these deprived schemes
ThickAsThieves: there's certainly more market to be had
mike_c: there were only a few bids up above the cap. the seller was likely probably one person :)
ThickAsThieves: assuming the goal is for action to occur on mpex
ThickAsThieves: it is more an issue of optimizing the product
ThickAsThieves: the "problem" is not a problem in that sense
mike_c: everyone else understood, and didn't trade.
kakobrekla: cant be booted if one doesnt join in the first place
mike_c: i don't see the problem. 350 contracts sold over the last 30 days by someone who didn't understand. so they lost .1 btc and now they understand.
thestringpuller: how would physical delivery keep you from having to deliver infinite usd?
mircea_popescu: you'll have to formalise that.
ThickAsThieves: not the settlement
ThickAsThieves: hashes represent the USD rate
mircea_popescu: but there's no way to meter hash.
mircea_popescu: if there existed a way to physically deliver we wouldn't have this problem at all.
mircea_popescu: options are settled in btc. this is not settled in hashes.
ThickAsThieves: is this different that not capping options?
mike_c: so probably half the participants understood
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so i don't cap it. you come to make a contract, have to deposit infinity btc.
mike_c: the contract was understood by whoever sold contracts above the limit :)
mircea_popescu: but it was clear to everyone that 2.9x times previous cover would be a top limit i would imagine
ThickAsThieves: well i havent thought much on recently, but you could publish what it actually is
jurov: so that it would be clear to everyone how much it is
jurov: mircea you refused several times to publish the cumulative cover
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: there was no official registration except for VIP's
ThickAsThieves: i mean the design of the instrument
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla my faggot pants are more css than yours :D
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i thought we could just show up in romania on the 17th and just listen to what people had to say
ThickAsThieves: yeah surely that's what i meant
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the design ?! of the contract ?
kakobrekla: ThickAsThieves you mean the css?
ThickAsThieves: obv jurov and i have beat this horse enough though
ThickAsThieves: you could always improve the design
ThickAsThieves: "I see myself forced to conclude the contract is not well understood by market participants, which is a problem that will have to be addressed."
