mjr_: but that is still just as good
Bowjob: they seem to have no problems opening a bottle of dom to wash something, may as well play dice to get moar monies
mjr_: the point is not to say the system is good or bad, the point is to say that i can thrive in the system as it is
Lyspooner: how about as a percentage of M2?
ThickAsThieves: what happens if people don't buy up the 5th tranche in a few days, does it just sit as a wall til it's bought up?
ThickAsThieves: erik, does that apply in general (as in, next month or after)?
kakobrekla: hijack as in blow on sdice?

Schadenfreude: The UK used 1984 as a manual, go figure
mircea_popescu: i think as time goes by the section in hell for "went through life reading < 1000 words total" is getting crowded
gribble: Error: Spurious "]". You may want to quote your arguments with double quotes in order to prevent extra brackets from being evaluated as nested commands.
ThickAsThieves: then shareholders get shares as winnings
mircea_popescu: jurov as long as he has a cert...
mircea_popescu: and then hashes the cert as if it were a deposit
mircea_popescu: new people have so much to read as it is...
truffles: "Incoming Bitcoin that doesn't exactly match a quoted sum will be simply kept, reported as profits and distributed to MPEx shareholders." small scale scam?
thestringpuller: Or do you hate on biology as well EskimoBob ?
thestringpuller: simply put, the people are only as stupid as the current leadership
mircea_popescu: "Edit: NO ONE SHOULD TRUST MPEX WITH 50000. Just using as an example. I wouldn't trust MPEX with 5 cents personally."
truffles: i see the whole stupid ppl thing as lack of resources or lack of access to info
Diablo-D3: the VRMs they use dont need heatsinks as they're probably 120c industrial/enterprise grade VRMs
Diablo-D3: the other side is probably smooth as a baby's ass
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: we already skip as many steps as possible
Diablo-D3: because I stood up for jgzarik as being legit
mjr_: that's the thing too, i really think that people have to see it as a tool, you can use cash anonymously in the real world, but you could also use cash in a very open way.
jborkl_: They need to mispell customers as costumers to make the scan legit
mircea_popescu: as a sort of escrow of sorts
thestringpuller: why not? what if investors want operating control as a part of their investment.
mircea_popescu: "No, I have an update coming. We are running a very tight timeline, so getting specific dates is difficult as the whole process is fairly fluid at the moment."
mircea_popescu: prolly worth doing as a test if anyone wants to.
jcpham: or amazon cash as in gift codes
mjr__: the only "limit" is how high you are willing to pay, you can think of it as saying "i will pay any price up to this price for this number of shares"
Bugpowder: during the IPO as well
mjr__: and coinbase's stated goal is to make it as easy as possible to transfer USD for BTC
gesell: jurov: i dont understand. why not? its applied to crypto as an alternative for bruteforce
truffles: "Out of all the forums that I have frequented (and I've been on some seriously high volume forums), it is bitcointalk.org that has the dubious distinction of warehousing the largest number of what can only be described as "retards." "
evoorhees: wasn't so much a "need" as a "that would be smart to do"
gesell: truffles: well not day trade, but to look at the stock as something to trade just on its value alone
gesell: the angst is in relation to people treating mpex stocks like a real stock market. and the volume isnt there for that. if this were a real stock market s.dice drop would have been closer to the market price because there would have been enough volume to eat it up. with where the volume is, it made sense where he put it. ON TOP of that, the whole idea of forcing his investors to think of s.dice stock different, not as a stock to quickly day trade on but ra
imsaguy: who shall we cast as pirate?
imsaguy: but in hindsight, dumb as hell
pigeons: hey, who expected half as much from rg anyway
StarenseN: evoorhees are the 3 other batchs for this week as well ?
StarenseN: alright, belgium has a dutch part as well so that's why i asked myself
evoorhees: If everyone in the bitcoin community was as skeptical as you, it'd be a healthier community
evoorhees: further, as I've mentioned, there are a few private holders. Don't assume that this 5% is from me.
evoorhees: well look... smart investors should want me to sell it as low as possible
ThickAsTh: the stock devaluation is as temporary as the shareholders choose for it to be
mjr__: yes, i want to get in as big as possible
mjr__: since i believe that most people like this stock, i think they should view the opportunity to get more for less as a good thing
mjr__: since it is not quite as risky
mjr__: and maybe i came across as defensive, but i was on reddit and people were all BREACH OF CONTRACT
ThickAsTh: and now I'm waiting to hear back from DeadTerra as to whether he was able to make the purchase for me at .0044
mjr__: as long as SDICE gets the capital it needs to expand
mjr__: so, as these are not "settled" ie. i haven't exercised he hasn't been assigned
Namworld: And as you might know Thick, I also run BTC-BOND & I am co-partner in BitVPS
ThickAsTh: haven't heard from Dead as to whether he was able to make trhe purchase for me in time...
Namworld: As for me well... I'm out for today
mircea_popescu: well... they were trading as high as 82 or something
Namworld: They represent the idiots. Oddly politicians are often depicted as pigs.
mircea_popescu: and as far as ballinggoes... let me see here
Namworld: He should refit his rig for some other purpose. A 600 GPU cluster could propably fetch more by being rented as such than the 15k he makes mining per month.
pigeons: mtgox charges no tx fees, they say not to use the trading account as a wallet however
jcpham: paypla is the same as credit card to me
mircea_popescu: as long as its a female official
Luke-Jr: davout: I only bother with dice because it hurts me really. not sure I care enough to spend the time on your suggestion, though I'd encourage you to bring it up as a possibility in -dev sometime when more devs are around
mircea_popescu: Ukyo it's possibly hurting, but it's so tiny as to not really matter.
davout_: well Luke-Jr somehow has a point, as a simple node i really have no interest in relaying SD txes
Ukyo: which reports it as such
Ukyo: txn fees are there to replace the BTC as its goes away
davout: Namworld: there is no such thing as an address balance, you misunderstand the way transactions work
Namworld: We could probably have a new "balance" block created every 10k blocks lets say, stating all balances per address, and work with 2 or 3 such balance blocks and cut the previous ones as we go on.
kakobreklaa: as long as majority does it
mircea_popescu: i can't understand envy masquerading as "responsibility".
mircea_popescu: and this even if we don't pay you as much as waitresses make
mircea_popescu: here you are, a bunch of , as tghe italians say, rotinculo
mircea_popescu: not gonna happen, you might as well forget it.
Luke-Jr: Anduck: you send to a one-time-use address to deposit, play as much as you like on the site; when you're done, you enter the withdraw address and it sends the balance back; if you don't do anything for 5-10 mins, it sends it back to where it came by default
midnightmagic: Anduck: They should modify their scheme to stop using the blockchain as their own personal database.
midnightmagic: Anduck: Stop using the blockchain as their own personal database.
midnightmagic: I do view satoshidice as a particularly pernicious form of evil, for example.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: There an ancillary issue (for miners at least) for txn verification as well. I don't really view the max block size as an issue, since I have no trouble running multi-TB databases, so I, personally, will have no issue remaining a node even if maxblocksize increases massively
mircea_popescu: the mpoe bond is not listed as a ticker.
mircea_popescu: on mpex, yes. there's passthroughs on bitfunder, havelock and btctc, and there's brokers (like coinbr.com, as a site, like smickles as aperson) that can also help you
thestringpuller: i would say pablo escobar would be more likely to dump large amounts of money into bitcoin as opposed to warren buffet
mircea_popescu: They also found two working mobile phones, and forensically analyzed more than 20,000 text messages. In among them were incriminating texts such as "I got five grand worth if you want" and "promote the LSD I got more in. I sold 200 cubes last week".
mjr_: tbh i haven't used much xml, but is it as easy to get objects?
mjr_: like depth of book is offered as json
mjr_: i for one think i am going to start using satoshi's as my unit
mjr_: as well as a positions window
mjr_: well, one possible solution is to calc the decimal portion as an integer and then append it to another int
