davout: if it "failed" to get a quote it sort of implies it's an unexpected situation
ThickAsThieves: "dont expect to buy options when you want them most" or such
davout: or mebbe the leprechaun is busy http://th06.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2011/165/e/e/fvsm01_leprechauns1_witches0_by_faile35-d3ixz8r.jpg
ThickAsThieves: if that was stated reasoning
davout: maybe the quoting leprechauns are on strike
davout: maybe it's some sort of safe switch that interrupts quoting under certain market conditions
ThickAsThieves: as in cant access the bitcoincharts data that is accessible?
davout: yea, that's kind of mysterious
ThickAsThieves: failed to get a quote?
ThickAsThieves: data source seems to be working fine, no? http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/weighted_prices.json
Apocalyptic: not to my knowledge
Apocalyptic: the issue, and the fact someone is exploiting it beyond reasonable doubt has been verified
davout: kakobrekla: i'm asking because imma open up the market orders feature, and i want to test the shit out of it before i do, so i was wondering if there were some bugs with them that could give me additional things to pay attention to
davout: "your cable was unplugged and it took 3 secs to fix? we'll charge you the full hour no problem"
Apocalyptic: <kakobrekla> btw dunno if you caught it, but they are supposedly selling their shit in a month or so // interesting
kakobrekla: and ofc fee in that case is millions %
davout: like hitting your order with a satoshi just to charge you the minn fee?
kakobrekla: (they can also make this shit up)
davout: oh yeah i heard about this one
kakobrekla: the most irritating is the min trade fee
kakobrekla: anyway re bitstamp, there were couple of problems over the course of time
davout: one of the two is unknown
davout: punkman1: the value of an exchange boils down to the value of their banking relationship + their existing customer base
kakobrekla: btw dunno if you caught it, but they are supposedly selling their shit in a month or so
kakobrekla: but then they added to their faq "we are retarded" and i stopped.
kakobrekla: hm, i bitchumented it here and prolly on forums couple of times
davout: or should i dig the logs?
benkay: punkman1: nowhere on that page is there mention of bitcoin. you should fix that.
asciilifeform: something like that
ozbot: Stephen Law: How the US Treasury imposes sanctions on me and every other "Stephen Law" on the planet
Willdude123: I'm not making a claim to understanding it
Willdude123: I think I sort of just about get it now
Willdude123: The lmgtfy thing didn't really work as one was not expecting to google that
Willdude123: Sorry, I've yet to manage thinking in BTC without converting it to my own currency
Willdude123: Well, 30BTC then
deadweasel: i don't think he accepts £
bones`: I would think successful trades?
Willdude123: So it costs £12000 to register with MPEX. How does anyone make any profit?
Willdude123: Well this is remarkably confusing
punkman1: Jere_Jones: in this case, read the thread, and see the derps asking Havelock to 2FA HARDER
Jere_Jones: punkman1 What's wrong with asking customers what they want?
Willdude123: Do they have miners?
Willdude123: kakobrekla, so how can they afford to pay out what a 5 mh/s miner would pay out?
kakobrekla: take the time to understand and self learn yourself
Willdude123: Somewhat difficult to understand, will continue
kakobrekla: read the contract if there is any
Willdude123: I don't particularly understand this B.SELL and B.MINE business
kakobrekla: Willdude123 log.bitcoin-assets.com turned out to be a good book to read up on investments
Willdude123: Is that not a little old?
Asa9: start there
Willdude123: Are there any good books on investments I can read?
Willdude123: What was that rather large stock exchange that shut down? Something E
punkman1: "So we turn to you, our valued customers, what features would like us to add to our platform?"
pankkake: well if the paper was the issue, that's someone he knows
asciilifeform: 'only the laziest won't kick a dead lion' (rus)
mircea_popescu: people tended to lol at that part.
mircea_popescu: nono the best part about lenin (in romanian at least) is Partiia Lenina!!!!
Asa9: mp - Im doing some housework and Im hummiing along with the hymn of the soviet union. Thanks a lot!
deadweasel: limit my up to 10kb
mircea_popescu: they do delete pages that dare notice that indeed forward is shorthand for stupid.
mircea_popescu: they don't delete the retarded pages about nonsense like bullying
mircea_popescu: only some of them.
pankkake: wikipedians love to delete pages
pankkake: and maybe 5 at a time max with downloaders. so it's manageable
pankkake: I have about 6000 albums seeding on that tracker alone
pankkake: the thing is, most of your torrents stay idle, but you then can seed a LOT of things
punkman1: yeah it's a bit twisted this logic
punkman1: seeders need leechers to get download credit, not enough leechers for everyone
punkman1: pankkake: how can that small amount of leechers support those seeders?
pankkake: I wanted to compare the different reward/"economic" systems but never got to it
mircea_popescu: kinda meaningless to me but hey.
mircea_popescu: and the better ones actually don't block romania, on the grounds of you know, being in romania in the first place.
pankkake: the best trackers - as in best content and spee- usually don't do that
mircea_popescu: so the goal is to try and recreate riia out of material stolen from the riia
pankkake: the real issue of private trackers is… CENTRALIZATION!!
punkman1: because too many people uploading
punkman1: the goal is usually to get people to pay for download credits, since they can't actually upload anything
mircea_popescu: north korea is at this very moment saying the same
mircea_popescu: seeing how there's no comparison point, all soviet bureaucracies claim a lot of speed and content
pankkake: well, the end result is a lot of content and a lot of speed
mircea_popescu: just let people do whatever the fuck it is they please to do.
mircea_popescu: this sounds to me like french bureaucracy
pankkake: the goal is to encourage sharing
ozbot: FiOS customer discovers the limits of “unlimited” data: 77TB a month | Ars Technica
pankkake: and you have to maintain a good ratio of those
mircea_popescu: but why do you care if they lie or not /
pankkake: but you can totally lie
pankkake: private trackers rely on the clients to tell how much they upload and download
pankkake: my coproperty said yes to an ISP… 3 years ago
mircea_popescu: pankkake what'd a cheater do to a torrent ?!
pankkake: and it seems most of the hurdle is bureaucracy
pankkake: well French FTTH is about 30€ too. just way too few places where it is installed
pankkake: either it was because some ISPs were altering the traffic (happens in Israel), or there were too many cheaters (romanians, after all)
mircea_popescu: pankkake obviously you can have anything custom installed. the discussion is more about you know, entry level or average or w/e
pankkake: conversely, there are many romanian trackers
pankkake: most French internet is 20M down/1M up for 30€ (DSL) - some lucky people have real FTTH though, with symetric bandwith
mircea_popescu: i would guess 50% of all material in the eu is in romania.
mircea_popescu: pankkake incidentally, banning romania in a torrent tracker is pretrty much idiotic.
mircea_popescu: builds character anyway. you'll get trained against doing i too early.
boolcrap: nothing worse than waiting for some hot porn to load
