mircea_popescu: Namworld not a bad idea. it's a pay
as much
as you want 30 days rotator deal.
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, losing all your money is not the same
as losing a third.
mircea_popescu: the rationale being that 100k put into btc now will make you "just
as rich"
as 300k put into btc now.
mircea_popescu: "The likelihood of this happening is about
as likely
as the checkers scenario. But the argument in its favor is that minting a trillion-dollar coin is a commensurately ridiculous response to Congress refusing to pay debts it has already accumulated. "
Bugpowder:
as I said.... the people who say the most bullshit things get the most press, for a while
kakobrekla: umm yeah bugpowder i checked b4

Ukto: i can faintly see some light circular scratches. but being black bottom, its shiney

mircea_popescu: i don't care other than in the vague macro sense that it'd be best if this actually works
as opposed to not working.
mircea_popescu: "
As for Quentin, he has other clients and has, from what I was briefly told, been busy filling in for other attorneys in the office while they were away. I'm hoping to speak with him today to get an updated timeline for the verified claims lists and terms of service for the VPS site."
Namworld: The rest was loaned to Amazingrando
as per motion in exchange of hashing, until such day we could buy some ASIC rig.
Namworld: I can't freakin view it, no credit
as ever...
Bugpowder:
As an alternative model, you pull the football game spread off some vegas site, take any bets that come on either side, and adjust the vig to encourage betting on the side that isn't getting hit
as hard. Then the bet size is decoupled from the odds.

thestringpuller: "2011 will no doubt be remembered
as the year that Bitcoinica took Bitcoin by storm. With leveraged trading, playing the Bitcoin markets went from tee-ball to the big leagues, seemingly overnight. 2012, however, will take things to a whole new level.

as an auxiliary country-neutral international language to preserve local languages. "
mircea_popescu: te of the market,
as you can with priced markets. 2. You should never bet until the last second so you can know the odds for the bet. In fact, it would make sense to create a sniping bot that would programmatically calculate the odds, compare them to your probability estimate, and only make the bet if it is favorable. There is another site called Bets of Bitcoin (
http://betsofbitco.in/) that has similarly dumb rules.
mircea_popescu: This betting site has a really stupid betting system. It appears that the amount of money you receive isn't based on a pricing of the bet,
as is done on all real prediction markets, but based on a simple payout of all the bets received on the other side of the bet by the end of the bet date. This system has two practical consequences: 1. You can't determine the markets current probability estimates from the current sta
thestringpuller: how come no one gets mad at Bugpowder for using the channel

Diablo-D3: meh, usagi wishes he worked

Namjies: The house should win 1.9% of bets. So you can actually bet about ~52 times
as much
as you have cash.
smickles: heh, well designed site, this ^
as evidence
jurov: mod6 meant vps users, not bitvps
as a whole
Namjies:
As you can see, it matches the USD on server bills.
Namjies: But rg was apparently not giving 50% on previous divs but

Bugpowder: mircea_popescu WRT S.BBET Can you be more specific
as to how the IPO share allocation will work with respect to buy orders placed before Jan 11? Is it based on time of order placement priority, proportional distribution to all valid orders, lotto system?
mircea_popescu: DEPOSIT|{sum}, where the sum is an integer, written in BTC (note that you can not deposit less than 10 BTC). You will be quoted an exact sum, which you must send to the exchange address (1Fx3N5iFPDQxUKhhmDJqCMmi3U8Y7gSncx). Don't round anything, the decimals are there to identify you
as the beneficiary. You will be credited the full amount.
mircea_popescu: but if you don't have the depisit signature (such
as, coinbr did it, not you) you'll have to bug jurov about it
