truffles: well seeing as u worked for the family u kinda had an edge on most kids
Chaang-Noi: well, nothing wrong with learning and trying stuff out, but really trust no one, lots of scammers as well
mircea_popescu: as far as you know you don't get project cloaks unless the project assigns them.
WILLdude: furuknap: So basically I should just treat it as a football bet with an extremely unreliable friend? So I should think that I probably won't get anything whatsoever back?
WILLdude: How come my order wwas fulfilled at the same time as I placed it?
parseval: BTC-TC will always fill the higher priced order first.. there's no way to choose which. So, the bots work the margins as long as they're at that .2% difference or more
furuknap: Bruised feelings because people that don't act rational when they buy sure as heck dont' act rational when they have lost.
ripplebandit_com: thanks parseval. thanks for humoring me Thick As Thieves
parseval: They already have mechanisms in place with their API to ease the transfer of assets. I'm sure mpex does as well, but I've never had an account there
kakobrekla: esp with such as AM
parseval: I wonder how strong of a reputation I'd need to have to launch a securities backed loan site that lets borrowers put up shares as collateral and take out BTC loans from people. Kind of like BTCJam only everything would be 120%+ collateralized and borrowers could keep the dividends that accrue while their loans are active.
jcpham: homebrewing is legal now as of a few days ago
optimator: jcpham: homemade rye is nice as long as the rye is in moderation
taub: >Interesting. Never heard of such a concept when it comes to trading. We would think that immediate execution should always be achieved as much as possible.
ThickAsThieves: they are planning 1000TH before year's end as a conservative goal
furuknap: From pouring out as much dividend as possible. I'm not saying "No" to dividends, I'm saying a pile of cash in the hands of friedcat is better at ensuring sustainability than a ton of dimes in the hands of thousands of investors.
mircea_popescu: the main components are 1. people wish to participate, they see mining as participation, they can't afford rigs so this is the next best
mircea_popescu: as in, no anal.
Chaang-Noi: he talked to me personally,as im the guy who cooked him up so he could do it,. he just wanted it on his exchang first
ThickAsThieves: as i see it
Chaang-Noi: he just wanted to keep people on his exchange, as he knew AM was the best hing evar
ThickAsThieves: I'm not accusing so much as saying I think they SHOULD show proof
furuknap: Yeah, because the volume should be much higher. I realize it didn't become as huge as when I suggested it.
Chaang-Noi: wonder what will happen.. even if legit, could run into same issues as bfl and the chips just dont work
mircea_popescu: good move to sell as many as they can at that price.
furuknap: No, they're slling it as ASICs.
furuknap: It is bitfury. So far as I've researched now, and excuse my noobishness if this is obvious, he's a Russian guy that had some incredible talent with FPGAs and then went on to design ASICs.
deadweasel: truffles, I think of #assets as more of a pulse than a clique, it's a good place to cut through the bitcoin FUD as it floods up to our necks.
furuknap: Namworld: So far, the Swedes are the ones that attempts the smallest process of 28nm. Current AM is 130nm. It will take a long time to get smaller process right, as I understand it.
ThickAsThieves: I like how everyone is thanking Friedcat for paying high divs as a strategy
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well, i count the 100 btc of bitfury's as some evidence
furuknap: Think of it as a web base database with tons of services and user configuration and db design. It's an accident waitning to happen (and has happened) but it's widely adopted now.
furuknap: Couple of days as in most likley Monday.
furuknap: That's roughly 5% from current top. I have no problems missing the top bu as much as 30-40% even, especially when I see there are no fundamentals supporting the price above that.
furuknap: It's priced now as to not stand a chance in 2016. That'll kill a lot of dreams...
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi well i dunno if 5btc counts as a selloff if they have an actual business then.
Chaang-Noi: i ahve some as a hedge against AM
truffles: yall like drama just as much as me
Chaang-Noi: if this guy is AS and reptillia too, mad props, sending 93k usd as part of a trolling operation is epic shit
mircea_popescu: as unauthorised copies.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves that's why they're no good as currency. smpoe is bubbling slow.
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi because he has correctly identified me as the most important entity in btc ?
jurov: sorry for spamming I really cannot even: I sent only a 2-ppl detachment to the Bay area, but they are my Ambassadors and have full authority to spend as many bitcoins as deemed necessary to subdue all, as well as I myself am subdued under the authority of Finnish government right now.
jurov: OMFGLBBQ: My experiences tell that even the patients here are eager to buy by the truckload, as soon as they get into the position to do so.
jurov: As for safety, I do not know any official classification of this place, but my gut feeling is that in order for anyone (which means, anyone) to take me out of here alive, it requires an operation that cannot be planned in secret, and the lead time is minimum 48 hours. If dead, it can be achieved relatively quickly, but there will be considerable (100,000+) collateral damage if the success needs to be achieved at a greater than 75% probability.
Chaang-Noi: his rontus guy, seems as crazy as he is...
furuknap: Thick: That's exactly why I think people need to realize that their dividends won't cover as much of the loss in value as they think.
furuknap: I do actually believe in AM as a long-term prospect so that's why I try to get people aware of the dangers. I'd like to see AM at around 1.3 as that price with projected dividends would roughly defend a 15-20% yield until the 6.25 halving.

ThickAsThieves: likely Avalon batch 2 will have shpped as well
benkay: offer it as abounty
mircea_popescu: same exact business model as the airbnb thing
ThickAsThieves: i always called groupon as useless
ThickAsThieves: you have to deliver as well
ThickAsThieves: and soon I will be sponsoring other people's efforts as well
ThickAsThieves: so i save time for some as well
mircea_popescu: the market is a voting machine doubling as a weighing machine
mircea_popescu: as far as i know there's a total of three people actually qualified to be doing this.
mircea_popescu: the idea is that you perceive this medium as dangerous and i aim to make it safe.
ThickAsThieves: and while i dont think of everyone as thieves in waiting
mircea_popescu: ten years down the road things will have played out as i said they will, and they could no longer play any number of ways.
ThickAsThieves: as I see it, both sdice and AM could fuck me over any number of ways
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves basically where you're coming from is this : "i'm here in the land of the thieves, better pack as much and run while i still have my legs"
benkay: such as?
ThickAsThieves: you keep painting AM as a blip
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves as far as i can see, other than mpoe (which may well be oversold), sdice is the only investment available atm.
mircea_popescu: you're buying into someone else's specifically so as not to have to deal with that.
davout: ThickAsThieves: watching things as they are is already doing something, which can bring great enjoyment
ThickAsThieves: not all the things I can watch be as they are
mircea_popescu: davout i'd take that as a good proxy for how valuable a website is for sdice
mircea_popescu: not as commonly understood.
ThickAsThieves: http://gawker.com/google-wallet-will-soon-allow-you-to-send-money-as-a-g-507104861
Scrat: shows every TX as a double spend
mircea_popescu: as it doesnm't have a website.
kybwarrior: as on clarkmoody price is rising
mircea_popescu: which was written in ruby and which was buggy as hell
mircea_popescu: anything is normal as long as you lose your btc.
mircea_popescu: I unlocked the thread to tell you that I am fine, and this is happening in accordance with orders (as understood by me).
Chaaaang-Noi: been stacking some as we fall down in price
Chaaaang-Noi: falling as well but not as sharp, but pretty sharp
kakobrekla: i see it as two piles.
kakobrekla: well the problem with sd - its in his interest for the site to die as far as i can tell.
ThickAsThieves: as a legal precaution
furuknap: <Chaaaang-Noi> well im off to take my son to see the star trek film, catch ya lata <- I read that as "take my gun".
BitHub: yeah, i'll probably going to sellsome off at 2btc as well, hard to tell if this is a bubble or all good
mircea_popescu: (about 8 times as much)
Chaaaang-Noi: seems they are mining silver and gold at an 8 to one ratio as well
asciilifeform: ok as far as I can tell both mtgox and btce are salami slicing in the 5th decimal point and down.
Chaaang-Noi: i find your guys reaction to gold and silver as a store of value very funny :) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: silver is pretty much like seasalt, can make as much of the stuff as you can possibly ever want.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves what amuses me the most is this "silver is valuable cause it can work as currency" nonsense.
Chaaang-Noi: holding lead would work as well, however you get into storage issues
mircea_popescu: look. there's more than 100x as much silver available as gold. for every 6 dollars or so that silver goes up in price the production capacity doubles
mircea_popescu: gold is money. silver is this thing that poor people keep tryiong to pass as money
Chaaang-Noi: its something you hope you never have to use, but if you do need it, you will be glad as fuck you have it
Chaaang-Noi: i hold silver in the usa and gold here in thailand as a shtf backup and not a large percent of my assets just 5 to 10%
Chaaang-Noi: people ahve been trying to sell silver as money since 60000 years ago....
mircea_popescu: silver is abundant. people have been trying to sell it as worthwhile and "an investment" or "money" since the great debates in the us in the 1800s
Chaaang-Noi: yeah metals are going down, but i want to buy as they go down, i think long term silver is solid
