mircea_popescu: but i mean what
the fuck is with
these people, it's quite plain
to explain
that
talking
to a satellite is like yelling really really loudly.
ThickAsThieves: exactly where I am as long as we have solar power and we can reach
the satellite."
ThickAsThieves: Former Minnesota governor and pro wrestler Jesse Ventura is currently on
the press circuit around
the launch of his
talk show Off
the Grid, but only from an undisclosed location in Mexico, safe from
the prying camera-eyes of drones. "I'm off
the grid," he said in an interview with CNBC yesterday. "I move about with my
TV show so
that
the drones can't find me, and
that you won't know
mircea_popescu: whoa. so i go
to call up benkay who ofcourse isn't on, and i hit on bettyclamp ? who are ye!
ThickAsThieves: they probably had more
than one option at
their disposal
Duffer1: i'm curious how
they delivered
the malware
ThickAsThieves: Specifically,
they implemented distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on
the internet relay chat (IRC) rooms used by Anonymous.
They also implanted malware
to out
the personal identity details of specific participants.
ThickAsThieves: The latest Snowden-related revelation is
that Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) proactively
targeted
the communications infrastructure used by
the online activist collective known as Anonymous.
Duffer1: i'm surprised how easy it was
to rhyme Popescu
punkman1: their logo is
too pixelated for me
to
trust
them
punkman1: I don't
think it works in
the UK, not sure
ThickAsThieves: i accidentally went
to pandora via a EU VPN and was like uhhh wtf
Duffer1: pandora is shutdown in
the uk?
Duffer1: i went from pandora
to grooveshark
to spotify, i haven't
tried google music or lastfm
punkman1: too bad
they shut it down in EU
punkman1: that's because Pandora pays people
to categorize every song
Duffer1: i haven't even
tried gmusic
Duffer1: their channels are more in line with
the
type of music you're likely looking for, spotify's radio feature just don't compare
punkman1: but
they were btctalk buddies for a year, such
trust
Duffer1: sounds like he was
trying
to buy some cascs from a scammer
Diablo-D3: theres no such
thing as a physical bitcoin
Diablo-D3: deadweas1l: uh? he lost all of
them, no?
deadweas1l: he only lost 10, sounds like a deal for
the ignorant.
punkman1: "Concerned about
the security of his digital bitcoins, Russell agreed
to digitally submit 201.7 bitcoins
to a man in
the United Kingdom for 190 physical bitcoins"
truffles: thought paypal was
the unsafe way
to do
transactions anyways
truffles: u eat
the extra
thin layer skin of pistachios?
Apocalyptic: truffles, what have you been up
to lately ?
ThickAsThieves: i only pay some attention
to him because of his devotion and
that sometimes cooler people spend
time with him
Duffer1: i don't know if i know enough
to discount his seemingly algorithmic financial-word-salad spam
ThickAsThieves: you follow him because he's
the most visible hardcore bitcoiner
Duffer1: why am i following his
twitter
Duffer1: Max Keiser,
the human spambot
truffles: well business and finance arent usually where u find
the brightest bunch
truffles: but are
they aware of
that ignorance
ThickAsThieves: it's more about polling people
that "think" or have been "taught"
to
think
their superficial understanding is useful
ThickAsThieves: something like, 85% of bitcointalk
thinks A is
the right choice,
thus B is more likely
to be correct
ThickAsThieves: i know
this might sound bad, but is
there any good research on using ignorant crowds as indicators?
ThickAsThieves: "The Auroracoin is set
to release in less
than
two months and has a very unique distribution plan. It will give every Icelander 31.8 Auroracoins (AUC)."
kakobrekla: you will be dead by
the
time you make money
herbijudlestoids: like i said, i write way more models
than i need, store
them if
they make ~$10,000 from $10,000 in ~10y and discard if not
kakobrekla: we dicarded models with
twice
the performance of
that
kakobrekla: low pf, very low sortino, good
to catch reversals, return is shit compared
to all
the risks
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: always
the long answer, even
though i dont know which question youre referring
to :D
kakobrekla: herbijudlestoids you want
the short answer or
the long answer
herbijudlestoids: i hear
the US AG was in sweden
today,
think
there is some
trouble brewing over
the assange case
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: no not unsure, i guess i
thought it was an obvoius question
kakobrekla: well you have capital gain
tax here but not for spot fx or btc
kakobrekla: and
that question mark on
the end, does
that mean you are unsure
kakobrekla: well move
then, no fx or btc gains
tax here
herbijudlestoids: because i have
to explain
to
the
tax office where
the money in my account is coming from? and if i just say "selling bitcoins"
then i have
to pay 50% capital gains
tax?
herbijudlestoids: which i need
to do, so i can rebalance various investments etc
herbijudlestoids: btc denomination i dont
think will help me unless i plan on never repatriating any profits
herbijudlestoids: basically, depending on my gross income in a given year i can have my
tax
treated differently...trading certain positions allows me
to claim
them as hedges against other positions in other markets...much better
tax
treatment, better overall annual return
herbijudlestoids: i guess im interested
to see what he has
to say,
the mean reversion model i actually implement is not *too* far off
that ;)
kakobrekla: ill bounce it
to enky, he does evaluations n shit
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: i should clarify.
these models are not for intraday use,
they
trade on an EOD basis
herbijudlestoids: i also got a follow
through model somewhere, built originally for GBPUSD...called (no surprise) deconfidence, cant find it right now
herbijudlestoids: i have a better version which uses a couple of simple regime filters somewhere,
that allos
the same model
to work on all
the major pairs...lemme see if i can find it
herbijudlestoids: basically betting against short
term action and sizing based on position in
the long
term range
herbijudlestoids: here ya go, i wrote
this mean reversion model for EURUSD in R and as well an MQL4 copy, i noticed you support MT4 as
the platform so
this one is probly easier
herbijudlestoids: well i build more models
than i need, and only have so much capital, plus some are more
tax constraining
than others
kakobrekla: why is it
that you cant use
them anyway
herbijudlestoids: mostly for EURUSD since
that is my bread and butter, but a couple of adaptive ones
that
tend
to work as part of a portfolio of model
herbijudlestoids: these are models where
the goal is
to generate a ~10%CAGR over ~10y with low/no correlation
to regular asset classes
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: i got a bunch of models for FX
that i cant use, want em? :D
herbijudlestoids: kakobrekla: in europe i like dukascopy and have an account
there, but rarely use it anymore since pepperstone came
to australia.
