mjr_: and could make some broad guesses
as to demographic
mjr_:
as most people probably don't need to google it by the time they are in the community
mjr_: that was my guess
as well
mjr_: but i was just curious
as to are most users european or asian or american
Bugpowder: but previous months
as late
as the 6th
BingoBongo: So... I'm new to this shit. Is this channel always
as boring
as shit when mircea_popescu is away?
mircea_popescu: it is however a little silly,
as you are opening a security hole.
Ukto:
as doubtful
as it is
Ukto:
as I said, I was talking to APC abotu chilled cab doors
Diablo-D3: kakobreklaa: and its not, its just that most people, such
as yourself, simply does not understand solar
Diablo-D3: kakobreklaa: and remember, I also burned the shares I had in DMC
as well
Ukto: other companies non-bitcoin related can be just
as bad
Ukto: my HE stuff in Armster and euro work just
as good
as in dallas
mircea_popescu: we need a strategic diversion before they blow up
as scams
DeadWeasel: Bugpowder: that's what I expect. Fortunately I've realized no gains
as I've sold nothing. I only hold BTCs, not assets, I'm here trying to figure out if I want to.
imsaguy: mircea_popescu, you know
as well
as I do, that things won't run away forever
Bugpowder: DeadWeasel, IANAL but a conservative position would be that any dividends or payments to you in bitcoin is considered income at the current exchange rate and should be reported. Any price gains in bitcoin holdings would be treated
as capital gains upon sale of the coins
jurov: just 0.04 from that bitbet bid...
as if exactly calculated to keep the suspense
gesell: scary
as sht from the security perspective. but then again, maybe they their money by cherry picking trades via the backend and bots
gesell: i think you just find the people doing it and pay them a little to do it
as a collective. you guide them in how to give enough information publicly but have more privately. for example dougles could put half the detail he does on his analysis of sdice and still provide huge value publicly and the rest privately
gesell: such
as new companies going public'ish
gesell: mircea_popescu: is any part of the process and application for ipos public, posted
as news, by you or them? or is it pretty much until it happens. i mean, even knowing when a new company will release ipos there might be a nice way to get an alert
mircea_popescu: pizzaman1337 well, for multiplereasons. there's a lot of benefit to being listed
as a dice site
smickles: oh, hey. is ther rota dead to the point that it shouldn't be mentioned in new contracts
as the dispute resolution method?
jurov: yes, i mean it
as law understands it
mjr_: jurov: you mean debasement
as in melting down US coins? Cuz you are actually increasing the average value i would imagine
jurov: lol i realized if some tards succeed to get btc recognized
as currency, they can be prosecuted for debasement whenever their hdd crashes without backups
mjr_: in the analogy of bitcoin
as cash...
gesell: author of colored coin argues for using bitcoin blockchain is better than deploying a new chain due to security of pooled hashrate. other options given are subject to the long tail of adoption. also, still going through it, appears to focus on tie tokens to assets. the asset of a widgetA isnt so important to me
as the reputation of the source (rx addr) for widgetA. So I have to contemplate how to use colored coin for reputation. but ignorin
gesell: "
As was widely suspected in the case of GLBSE and eventually turned out correct, the lack of track record and regulatory compliance exacerbate the risk of unclean shutdown, throwing asset issuers and holders to limbo."
gesell: i dont want to use use the or a blockchain
as a database but also use it
as the means for discovery of services,
as well
as the store and discovery for reputation
kakobreklaa: if youd kill blockchain.info, 10 more would pop up, same
as with torrent sites
gesell: the advantage of using The blockchain
as apposed to a new one is that you can use blockchain.info for all sorts of purposes (finding WidgedA sellers, checking reputation) and its a little harder to kill blockchain.info which has plenty of legal use, than specialwidgetsellerblockchain.info. So you could basically do silkroad without Tor
mircea_popescu: if you believe in markets
as the ultimate allocator of resources, then that person's gain would always be smaller than the global benefit
mircea_popescu: that was,
as best i can guess, someone insuring a large btc obligation (via the calls) and someone trying to mommentum trade (short puts)
gesell: and that perhaps tradition tricks of the trade will game this market
as well
mircea_popescu:
as best i can guess the effect you describe is a result of the regulatory interplay in fiat.
gesell: maybe i dont have my thoughts clear. im more wondering if we will start to see the little guy (even if smart in finance) feeling he can do nothing in BTC markets because he will always be out smarted by those (even with the same understanding
as him in finance) that have more BTC to play
gesell: its changing in what way, financial services (such
as mpex)?
mircea_popescu:
as in, the fact that some bloke heard about it first is more important than the fact that he's smart or rich.
mircea_popescu: srsly. they started
as 20 btc back when a btc was 3 bux
mircea_popescu:
as far
as i can see any investing of bitcoins in fiat is very risky, speculative and dangerous.
zerokwel: whats the point in being in politics they all
as bad
as each other
midnightmagic: americans seem to be more willing to just inflate their currency rather than let the chinese dominate foreign debt
as much
as they were.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: By the methods of identity collapse
as they stand, yes, it comingles wallets and makes A B C D ... X all appear to be G
mircea_popescu: privately, however, if some idiot doesn;'t know about all this, we have what may be construed
as a very fat wallet G
mircea_popescu: so
as to carefully construct something that by that however flawerd, nonsensical etc method WOULD APPEAR to be a single wallet, call it G
midnightmagic: Okay, from the top. When someone tries to figure out a particular identity, they use the method
as described in the identifying mechanisms presented at 28c3 in germany: transactions "prove" that the person who "owns" the inputs is the same person.
mircea_popescu: i know nothing at all. you can create a gpg sig right now
as 34jk5hty895ytg9g4t
mircea_popescu: send your btc to mpex, withdraw it, end of story. it's
as anon
as it will ever get.
mircea_popescu: Zimbabwe, the country that's home to some of the world's largest platinum and diamond reserves, literally has the same financial standing
as a 14-year-old girl after a really good birthday party.
DeadWeasel: true, they can't even control it
as is.
DeadWeasel: i'm pretty sure he's transporting them
as 12" crystal meth dildos to get past customs.
markedathome: clearly, dooglus is trying to out mircea_popescu
as the mystery player, why else can I get "MPEX pay SDICE with SMPOE" out of the addresses listed in #782
kakobrekla: >>its also a good game choice I think
as its not totally trivial to create a bot for it.
Namworld: [18:31] <Ukto>
as Namworld said, he had to spend nearly $40 to understnad your system
burnside: There's no confusion in stating
as fact something that is not true, nor possible.
Ukto:
as Namworld said, he had to spend nearly $40 to understnad your system
Ukto: i get confused just
as easily
as others would
burnside: this is a public chan, just
as public
as the forums. if you want the privacy (and to spread the FUD privately) you can pm anyone you want about it.
Ukto: Namworld:
as I said, I was just ahving a discussion here on irc
Ukto:
as I clicked through things
burnside: that may be, but I don't think so. I haven't made anything up about BitFunder and stated it
as fact.
Ukto:
as i said, I was talking
burnside:
as of the time you load the book
Ukto: I think, also to some degree, it misrepresents market size
as well
burnside: it's accurate
as of when you load the book
Ukto:
as a trader, I like to know that the books are there
dub: wattage is accurately reported
as 'higher than 400w'
Diablo-D3: its not
as clever
as you think it is
mircea_popescu: you can do quite advanced banking stuff on what mpex offers
as is,
jurov: same
as you computed the mkt cap: qty*price :D
mircea_popescu: seems more logical to either sell the stock or else pledge it
as collateral/repo it with someone who specializes in this
mircea_popescu: i'd go
as far
as to say it's financially irresponsible for any large-ish mining operation to not hedge diff
burnside: that's a good point. I had it in there before I had 30d available, kind of
as a sign of "seniority".
burnside:
as I've done for him a couple of times.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i got
as far
as to where some dood walks in and kills the ho atop him
topace: soon
as i get the mining equipment out of my boardroom, i could sleep on the couch
