mircea_popescu: im sure people with history will volunteer names
to fill gaps
benkay: so basically
trawl bitcointalk/investments back
to 2010 or w/e
mircea_popescu: benkay suppose i give you
the half-bitcoin i have leftover from
the painting
thing ? but srsly, do it
thoroughly, don't leave anything out.
kakobrekla: i dont
think its even possible
to do complete list
benkay: mircea_popescu: will you commission
that?
mircea_popescu: benkay no, srlsly, it's a great
thing
to do, if it's complete.
mircea_popescu: how about you make
the complete list of all bitcoin companies ever.
mircea_popescu: actually, benkay, you still looking for fun shit
to do ?
mike_c: yes.
the20year is going
to be on
the wrong side of
that unfortunately.
mircea_popescu: a review of
the complete count of all bitcoin companies
to date, and
their spending patters may reveal
that
this is like ...
the only 2 out of about 300
to do
this.
lippoper: they probably don't even have
the mining gear yet

THREAD]
benkay: and also mike_c jurov commissioned
the m3 from me
benkay: but jurov it is
true
that just writing an option puts it into
the pool
that can be exercised against
jurov: oh yes
then.i'd really like
to see
the cherry
truck selection meeting
benkay: ah well
there is a mistake in
there isn't it -
the way i understand
the selection
to work is
that an exercise hits everyone who underwrote proportionately
to
the fraction of outstanding contracts
that
they wrote
mircea_popescu: gotta be able
to brandish
things at people or else what sort of an argument is it.
jurov: dunno how would one film
this. people sitting in front of monitor, grinning?
kakobrekla: the,
the customs will be like "dude, i won
the bet but you paid less
than i sent, come with me for a sec"
mircea_popescu: jurov you know, about once a meeting
the idea surfaces
that "we shouild just film
this. itcould be a movie"
mike_c: kako won't come
to
the us
jurov: i'd like
to see
the arguments :D
mike_c: four more months i
think until my 1 year bitcoin-assets birthday.
mike_c: it
took mysterious other parties
to convince him
there was a point.
mike_c: thanks for link jurov. good post, i will be bookmarking for
the six
times a week i forget how
to calculate
the profit on
those.
jurov: heh.. so
the collateral in stat output changes as exercises are done?
mircea_popescu: jurov : "This process is not visible
to
the collateral holder in
the course of
the month."
ozbot: MPEx:
The Missing Manual 6 - Options - serialized delusions
mike_c: i don't get it. which of
those do you have
trouble getting money out of?
jurov: would be fun,
tho :D
jurov: you really
think mpex
throws dice every
time someone exercises an option?
jurov: benkay: where did you get
this from? Writing options and providing
the required collateral puts
those options into
the pool from which a counterparty is randomly selected during an exercise event.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> i
think one of
the reasons he change his forum name like 5
times is
to help
to cut
the
ties
to scams << you
tihnk ?!
kakobrekla: well, if you picked your exchanges at random,
theres a good chance one of
them would still be online, makes you
think if you went for
the shittiest deliberately
kakobrekla: i
think one of
the reasons he change his forum name like 5
times is
to help
to cut
the
ties
to scams
kakobrekla: >That Lambo is not really a significant part of my investment portfolio. I did it when I did cuz of Greenspan saying he could not see any "intrinsic value" in BTC. So I was like fuck it, people don't care about intrinsic value,
they care about shit like Lambos. Did it for
the PR.
mircea_popescu: goat's been
trying real hard
to come out as if he's
trustworthy, past all forgotten etc.
kakobrekla: >I guess I will answer
the best I can. It is really about being in
the right place at
the right
time. I have done really well and also lost my ass in
the past. I have pretty much been involved in just about anything BTC related
that was not an obvious scam, and some
that where.
PsychoticBoy__: 2 years ago I had
to work, now people are working hard very hard for me :)
mircea_popescu: one fine day
they'll hold a vote about whether you should pay for it anyway
mircea_popescu: he still deals with you on
the forum, whether you know of
this or not.
mircea_popescu: think about it :
to
the average
tard, whether you're one of
the 500 scammers named after you or not makes no diff.
mircea_popescu: srsly ?
ThickAssThieves,
ThickAsThievs, everything all
taken ?
ThickAsThieves: i
take extra measures
to make sure i cant be impersonated
ThickAsThieves: surprisingly,
there are no cases of "Friedcat stole my shares!"
tho
mircea_popescu: so basically
the brilliance of asicminer has by now ensured
the entire
thing is an utter mess
ThickAsThieves: what's worse is friedcat pretty much never requires signed
transfers anymore
kakobrekla: at least
they know what a bitcoin address is.
ThickAsThieves: about a
third of people I require
to sign messages with
their wallet for ID, don't send
the message, only
the sig
mircea_popescu: and
then
try
to leech some more money off of it by writing a book about what an asshole he was for
THAT stretch of his life.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yeah, and if satan gives him a scholarship next he's gonna spend a year or
two warming
tar.
benkay: mircea_popescu's waiting for
the power-seat in
the back china
tesla edition
mircea_popescu: not
that
they won't get good at it with practice, just... i dun wanna be
the practice.
mircea_popescu: mike_c obviously. a
ton and a half lithium battery is a fucking hazard of
the 1st degree
Dimsler_: you can all watch
this and pace back and fourth in your basements
mike_c: apparently
the batteries don't do well when pierced from
the bottom by road debris
mike_c: re:
telsa fire.
this video caused a stir stateside a few months ago:
Duffer1: TSA - come for
the security
theater, stay because we can't end
the program during an employment crisis
mircea_popescu: plenty of
them were aspiring writers,
too. just... you know, needed
the dough.
mircea_popescu: you know what ? it came out at nurnberg
that most of
the nazis working for
the jew extermination agencies were
trying
to do a good job.
ThickAsThieves: "All
the old, crass stereotypes about race and genitalia size
thrived on our secure government radio channels."
ThickAsThieves: "Officers who were dating often conspired
to get assigned
to
the I.O. room at
the same
time, where
they analyzed
the nude images with one eye apiece, at best."
ThickAsThieves: "I.O. room duty quickly devolved into an unofficial break. It was
the one place in
the airport free of surveillance cameras"
mircea_popescu: "It was just a
temporary
thing, I
told myself—side income for a year or
two as I worked
toward a degree in creative writing. It wasn’t like a recession would come along and lock me into
the job or anything." i wonder how many losers currently are hiding
this from
themselves with
the pretense
to "creative writing" aspirations.
ThickAsThieves: "At
the conclusion of our crash course, one of
the officers in our class asked him
to
tell us, off
the record, what he really
thought about
the machines. 'They’re shit,' he said"
mircea_popescu: ask anyone, from
the post office
to whatever you wish.
ThickAsThieves: "In private, most
TSA officers I
talked
to
told me
they felt
the agency’s day-to-day operations represented an abuse of public
trust and funds."
ThickAsThieves: "I was even required
to confiscate nail clippers from airline pilots—the implied logic being
that pilots could use
the nail clippers
to hijack
the very planes
they were flying."
