mircea_popescu: i mean saying its purpose is to measure commerce / act
as medium of exchange etc is one thing
Diablo-D3: if you use USD
as the golden standard, Bitcoin is the worst possible currency you could create
bgupta: mircea_popescu:
As long
as the price remains so unstable it's going to be challenged
as a day to day currency.
dub: to fully disclose I held a great many more DMC shares for short periods
as I assisted in destroying their value
Diablo-D3: Luke-Jr: and you're asking me after the third dividend payment sent to DMC shareholders
as well
Luke-Jr: so it's Diablo-D3's fault,
as I suspected
smickles:
as it is now, i have that risk, and it's still unquantifiable :o
mircea_popescu: except tv dinners aren't really just
as good
as actual food.
mircea_popescu: "by buying tv dinners which are just
as good
as actual food, i only pay $5 instead of $50!!11"
mircea_popescu: they will basically spend 2x to buy some ersatz of anything just
as long
as it's niominally cheaper.
mircea_popescu: <smickles> one could've seen this recent loss coming before anyone else, and not been able to do anything about it << of fucking course. that is the point of it, you have to actually provide the service,
as a bondholder.
jurov: Since MPOE options can provide roughly 5x leverage
as MP wrote
jurov: still i don't get it. MPOE is obliged to pay out exercises, not "
as it sees fit"
_aeon: instawallet fubar or they move it all the cold storage
as defense mechanism\
mircea_popescu: We have detected a security breach. Services are temporarily suspended until we have thoroughly investigated the situation. We will resume services
as soon
as possible.
mircea_popescu:
as btc went from 20 to 100 s.dice lost like what, 50-60% ?
podizzle: i dont understand how would i make a donation if any transfer is counted
as a bet should i make it 1.005 and its assumed the .005 is a tip?
mircea_popescu: a reading including batch two is nonsensical
as batch two wasn't even slated for delivery till apr 5
jurov: cuz i have 90 connections now and none of them is blockchain.info (it sees my txs
as arriving from around the world)
mircea_popescu: yes but
as we get into the hundreds we're markedly less decentralised than visa.
jborkl: well, taxes not 100% sure- you can be tried
as a adult at 17
Bugpowdurr: iirc if you are claimed
as a dependent, you cannot take your personal exemption, but your income is still taxed
as your own income. But there may be multiple ways to skin that cat.
microhxo:
as long
as he can get in today
mircea_popescu: obviously it was going to get kicked back
as soon
as it went over 100
mircea_popescu: this is liable to be correct for
as long
as mining is still immature obviously.
mircea_popescu: ya, see, this doesn't work
as an approach. i mean it's prolly fine in middle school or w/e, but i'm not 14.
mircea_popescu: or in other words : my insistence in implementing correct designs or nothing at all, and decentralisations such
as these may make me look like an idiot today
jurov:
as as a someone who tried to "evangelize" MPEx i think i know why
ThickAsThieves: you are interpreting my solution
as only a change in min collateral
mircea_popescu: jurov dividends are shown
as the sum of div transactions in mpex.
mircea_popescu: i'm not increasing collateral maargin for the simple reason that even
as it is underwriting is dismal.
mircea_popescu: if you create one X.IDIFF.MAR future, you will have to pay 2.9**4*.07
as collateral.
ThickAsThieves: they could simply be written
as offer price, max payout price, with no relation to past settlements, no?
ThickAsThieves: if the top liability was disclosed it would allow for better offers
as well
mircea_popescu: Unlike other futures X.IDIFF.* will require 2.9x the difficulty at last settlement for each quarter out, so for instance if traded in January 2013 X.IDIFF.MAR will require 0.097735278 BTC per contract
as collateral whereas X.IDIFF.DEC will require 2.383665695 BTC per contract
as collateral (all numeric examples based on 3370182
as last settlement difficulty value).
KRS1: yeah..its been used
as that since day 1 prolly
KRS1: i dont think it can be used
as money..how would the transactions keep up at that rate..ex. transactional data from just amex alone would choke the network
Bugpowder:
as if Grigory gives 1 shit about the real world...
ChaangNoi: i have two bots in the truck
as well but its very hot now
icyhot: then you're typically addressed
as 'mircea'?
MJR_III: using varius connection level media such
as websockets etc
Diablo-D3: jurov: might buy it
as a tape storage vault, really
Diablo-D3: kakobrekla: seeing
as DMC is shutting down to fix the problem nefario caused, nope.
smickles: whereas, if you didn't inflate the money, people would not spend
as much or
as fast, and the downturn would get significantly worse
damientrog: or are options traded amongst the market
as well?
Bugpowder: damientrog: You don't necessarily get a better return by buying early. There is a time * volatility premium built into the mpoebot's pricing model, that decays
as expiration approaches. Typically the way you can get the highest leverage and returns are when buying options just before expiration followed by a big move
nanotube: smickles: well, bc,24hprc was from bitcoincharts,
as is avgprc. same datafeed
Bugpowder: I have made about
as much in bitcoins
as I have in my entire career
as a scientist (true story)
smickles: eve
as a fraud, he would't have to fake it
mircea_popescu:
as long
as there's X btc in circulation, cX will need to be hedged one way or another.
jurov: *if you use it
as wallet
mircea_popescu: (the exact way is left
as an exercise to the user, seeing how depending on how you do it you get diff results)
KRS1: thats low
as far
as im understanding it and not bad either
mircea_popescu: it's moot practically
as they're not listed, but since we're discussing theory.
benkay: so it behaves
as just another trader?
benkay: no
as in like wtf is it actually doing
mircea_popescu: mpex does offer stocks, but that's not under discussion here.
as for the derivative trade, ie options, these are a different market from the underlying.
jurov:
as well
as mpoe dividend
thestrin1puller: I've used the same model for some of my real life ventures, it's a very good model in that you view capital
as "equipment"
mircea_popescu:
as in, i don't set a %, i just take whatever the max was
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder the issue is that people make assumption based on the algo
as is
smickles: mircea_popescu: why does it show on mpex.co
as C89T?
MJR_III: but my point is that
as far
as i know there is no device with unlimited capacity
MJR_III: exactly, its just a simple authenticator which serves
as a gatekeeper before you connect
Troic: pool of IPs on different
AS, that is expensive, at least you can shut the account down :)
jurov:
as you issued the yubikey
MJR_III: but since your auth is changing the same way
as their client
jurov: seems i did convince you
as well
Bugpowder: I bet a 1MM bid moves any midcap stock at least
as much
jurov: and all btc coins aren't equal too,
as anyone who tried to spend new satoshidice outputs can attest
jurov: and only older coins can be used
as proof of stake to mine
jurov: but you can't use them
as a proof of stake tomine
MJR_III:
as with all the others i doubt it will gain the momentum it needs
jurov: that was mentioned too that he considers inflation
as consequence of 2nd thermodynamic law and thus it should be allowed
MJR_III: while i rate all other cryptocurrencies chances
as around 1% might be worth it to hold a basket of all of them, just in case
