Neil: Gotta say despite
the odds I'm not gonna bet No on
that one.
mircea_popescu: you never know when a diff bet comes and swoops
the
top spot you know ?
Neil: Oh dear; I now have 12 months of loading bitbet
to see Berkshire Hathaway at
the
top.
mircea_popescu: yeah well.
tell
them
to start making proper reports and stop with
the nonsensical "we are great ra ra ra" bullshit,
ThickAsThieves: balulasch_ I
take it you're
the one with
the 35k-share ask wall on CBTC
balulasch_: do you
think
the
total wagered coins on bit777 main page are made up?
chetty: TAT I saw
that video couple days ago, nothing cute about it
mircea_popescu: balulasch_ can you calculate
the odds of a block
taking 30 minutes
to solve ?
mircea_popescu: somebody really should check out
the block
timing,
there may be some sort of issue here.
mircea_popescu: also if anyone wants
to put it on reddit (and
thanks jcpham for mentioning
the lulzy reddit "bet", he inspired me)
ozbot: An era ends
today. A new era starts
today. pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: dude how does
this shit work. 35 minutes for a block,
then 3 blocks in 3 minutes.
Apocalyptic: why would he wait for a
tx
to clear
then ?
ThickAsThieves: mp's big news is
that bitcoin is hacked, he;s just waiting for his coins
to clear
Duffer1: well ya but
there's good bits
too :P
nubbins`: <balulasch_> bs
talk all
the way <<< lel he's right ;(
Duffer1: you can hang around and
try
to avoid catastrophic losses i suppose
Duffer1: it's good
that you're hear
though
balulasch_: just read a lot of
the channels log aswell
balulasch_: why do i never get an answer
that makes any sense
balulasch_: hope
they will release it
today even
though its sunday
dub: pulling
the plug on mpex ponzi
balulasch: I visited bit777.com 2 days ago and looked at
the
total wagered Bitcoins. Cant remember
the exact number but as I visited
today I could swear
that
the number was at least 10,000BTC higher.
This means
there must be a very huge volume. Considering
the fact
that bit777 is
the property of casinobitco.in makes
the companys stock worth on havelock seem heavily underrated imho.. I'm waiting for
the new 2weekly statement like how I
Neil: gribble lowballing a
tad but it's
tight
moiety: how close
to all womenz is ozbot?
jcpham: pretty
terrible bet if you ask me
jcpham: it's looks like 2 people
took him up on it
jcpham: i found it funny he posted a reddit
thread about putting your money where your mouth is....
dub: mom is girl
tho rite?
mircea_popescu: and like... who knows what other perversions.
talking
to girls prolly.
dub: we could at least run bitconi for a year and
the world would only be half as retarded
mircea_popescu: you don't understand,
they're making
the world a better place.
dub: if we ground up all
the redditors and rendered
them down for biomass..
mircea_popescu: the wear&tear on
the cheap chiense keyboards involved probably exceeds
that figure.
mircea_popescu: haha look at
that, reddit generates 200 comments worth 20k words for a 0.25 btc wager.
dub: Diablo-D3: nothing, its BAU.. I was offering a reason for why amex is 'larger'
than processors with more footprint
Diablo-D3: dub: what happened when
the corp send
the internal
txns
to amex
dub: meh its
too hard
to explain how
the world works
to someone
thats never had a job
mircea_popescu: "Other
things being equal,
the highest stock market prices relative
to intrinsic business value are given
to companies whose managers have demonstrated
their unwillingness
to issue shares at any
time on
terms unfavorable
to
the owners of
the business."
mircea_popescu: there's ample caselaw showing both
the "putting a gun
to your head does not constitute forcing you" argument and
the "minding your own business and cultivating your own field amounts
to forcing other people" argument.
mircea_popescu: "nobody is forced
to
talk
to
the da", as exemplified by my earlier link, for one side of
the coin. "wage slavery" equals forcing people
to x y z on
the other.
Neil: Nobody's being forced
to run
the bitcoin network, hence no problem.
Diablo-D3: [10:02:38] <dub> a US megacorp i worked for pushed an innordinant amount of what should have been internal
txns out
to amex
mircea_popescu: turns out
trusting
the usg isn't a workable policy. who knew.
dub: expect
there is a lot of
that going on, why run lean?
dub: a US megacorp i worked for pushed an innordinant amount of what should have been internal
txns out
to amex
Mats_cd03: Amex is operating in
the stone age
lnovy: John Kerry is
the problem, not
the solution
mircea_popescu: there's problems, see, and pros solve problems.
then
there's kerriblems, and kerry solves
those.
dub: a Real Problem in
the john kerry sense
dub: anyway having a
tiny fraction of
the costs of incumbents sure sounds like a serious flaw
dub: probably
to process a reciept for every bullet
the USG buys
lnovy: that reddit post kills itself in first
two lines... it's like saying
that cost of running banking system is equivalent
to amount of fiat printed...
cazalla: why do
t hey need
that many employees?
mircea_popescu: amex actually employs like...
twice as many ppl as mc/visa combined or some shit.
mircea_popescu: roughly same for mc, slighly lower, something like
that.
dub: smaller
than visa and mc
tho
dub: wait,
that might quarterly
dub: Dimsler can parrot failed
trollmemes all he likes
