moiety: someone sent r3wt
to me yesterday :/
Namworld: Someone should calculate
that.
Namworld: 132x value in fiat. It was better
than holding BTC.
peterl: right,
this is btc accounting instead of Usagi accounting
Namworld: We both missed a
ton on
the BTC rate increase.
peterl: psh, only 32%
that is nowhere near 100x!
peterl: which we are grateful you saved
that for us
Namworld: I had
to help with BitVPS which RG just abandoned like
that. Buy servers and everything. Stuff like
that. Losses vs just holding.
Namworld: It's been rough, especially with
the 15 -> 1200 run in 2013. How is one supposed
to beat 100x returns on just holding
through investing?
Namworld: I might be close
to achieving
that back
tho.
Namworld: Well i started with 900 BTC in early 2012. Lost most. Definitly don't have
that much.
dexX7: labcoin was a more exciting way
to lose money
Namworld: Considering
the first
thing I did was lend over 700 BTC
to a GPU miner
thinking it was just 7 grand and
the current price per BTC, I'm not close of having positive earnings on average per year.
mircea_popescu: normally i'd say "i wish
to meet
that elated 1% of bitcoin financiers which actually make 2% a year", but i
think i already have.
dexX7: well, such a fee level is at least motivating
the issuer
to perform well
Namworld: I'm about 175 BTC in debt and I'm richer
than him still.
peterl: "privately placed" does
that mean "I just made up whatever numbers I want"?
dexX7: i
think he indeed sold quite a few shares
peterl: I
think it was all privately done, so
there is no way
to actually
track what he says
mircea_popescu: Apr 13 11:01:55 <`MBot>[ GLBSE ] [
TRADE ] [
TYGRR-BOT ] [ 98 x 1.0 = 98.000000 BTC ]
mircea_popescu: Apr 13 11:00:40 <`MBot>[ GLBSE ] [
TRADE ] [
TYGRR-BOT ] [ 2 x 0.99999 = 1.999980 BTC ]
mircea_popescu: well, so did anyone actually bother
to
track
this BTC-GROWTH marvel ?
dexX7: well, you're
the incarnation of
teh evil anyway :D
mircea_popescu: that's what
threw me, cause i had no recollection of
the entire
thing
dexX7: thus no link
to
the log
dexX7: my intent wasn't
to share
the content of
the log
dexX7: it's legit, names edited and a few lines removed
though
mircea_popescu: i
think he spends some
time as a princess in a special happy place
benkay: it's not my shopping list - i don't do
the shopping, moiety.
moiety: i wondered wherehe disappeared
to
benkay: overheard in my household
this morning "paycheck and a buttplug!
the only grocery list you'll ever need."
Diablo-D3: surprised he isnt
trying
to invest in my newest venture or some shit
mircea_popescu: would have assured "investors" "make roi and
then some" or what was
the expression
mircea_popescu: asicminer went from 5
to .5, so
therefore my deadbeat "investment" which went from 1
to .3 in
the interval
mircea_popescu: "In retrospect, it's quite funny how some of
the folks laughed at
those selling ASICMiner
to buy into BTC Growth, given
that at
the end of
the day,
those who adopted exactly
that strategy wound up with roughly 275% as much money in
their accounts
than
those who stuck with
the former darling of
the mining world."
moiety: i need
to food actually
moiety: I'm well
ty mircea_popescu :) had some interesting
times past couple days. how are you?
mircea_popescu: unless
they manage
to invent some further pathology down
the way
mircea_popescu: before you know it he'll be going "i stake my professional reputation !!eleven behind making
this
thing i read on
trilema
two weeks ago happen!" like
that other douche
mircea_popescu: anyway, if
the guy's reading
the logs
that's not so bad, first step on
the road
to sanity.
mircea_popescu: <Namworld> Mark will now say it's not him but
the hackers who just released
the info. He might be
the
thief and
the releaser of info. << hence
the "Rational, +EV move" comment earlier.
peterl: hard
to put a good wall of
text up on IRC
benkay: probly reads
the logs but can't extemporize.
benkay: this is much like asciilifeform's refrain about "trusted computing" on
top of compromised hardware. all
the proofs in
the world won't save you from bad hardware in
the memory stack, and all
the quant kabbalah in
the world won't make you money on non-functional options exchanges.
peterl: oops, now he is going
to
target me!
benkay: peterl: it's not his strategy
that's wrong, it's his implementation details. like icbit.
dexX7: he also reads
the channel logs
to see, if someone is saying something mean about him
peterl: MPOE-PR ripped him pretty good, but he still
thinks he beat her with his wall of words
Namworld: Pirates, okay, but I didn't know
there was Ponzi doctors
too.
Namworld: Mark will now say it's not him but
the hackers who just released
the info. He might be
the
thief and
the releaser of info.
peterl: from
the dr. greg
thread "the approach continues
to offer guaranteed profit up until a roughly 350% gain " he lost money but still
thinks his strategy should have huge returns?
Namworld: Don't forget
that MtGox's API published
transactions as close as
this morning, Diablo-D3.
dexX7: kinda interesting
though
that
the block entry is still online
mircea_popescu: peterl well it's a combination of
things. he looks kind-of weird, and behaves like a negligible quantity
peterl: how did he get
the name Dr. Foreskin? Or do I want
to know?
mircea_popescu: see
the earlier linked misadventure of dr foreskin on
the
topic
punkman: even Dr Greg doesn't want
to use
them anymore
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i doubt
there's much overlap in demographics.
mircea_popescu: let
the record reflect
that i'm working on a foot long baba ghanoush sub
dexX7: well, it's a probably a good
thing
to get rid of
the weak elements
KRS-One: i still can't believe
this is happening... mtgox hacked.. all leaked.. karpeles blog, his reddit account
dexX7: what was
the reason
to halt option
trading?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu random
thought: i wonder if
the halt in options
trading on MPEX will result in a lot of people flocking
to ICBIT...kind of a scary
thought...
dexX7: sssh shh i want
to hear
teh sec gossip
thestringpuller: dexX7: I'm pretty sure mircea_popescu has female assassin ninjas guarding
the mpex keyring
dexX7: i
think it's your obligation
to be
transparent on such incidents. who knows, maybe
they have backend access
to mpex now :p
dexX7: what did
they want, what are
the implications etc ;)
dexX7: there is
the part missing between "to: ... and yes
they"
dexX7: well
then,
tell us more
mircea_popescu: Namworld isn't it interesting how "since
then" and "when mp said" coincide huh.
mircea_popescu: and yes
they do read
the forum,
tho
they only understand about half
Namworld: Looks like
they were running fractional since
then.
dexX7: ah speaking of
the sec. did
they reach out
to you, mp?
Namworld: 400k Mark proved ownership after
the 2011 hack.
