mircea_popescu: here's an analogy for you : suppose you're in love, with
this luscious young
thing. can you see why
the device which speeds up her arrival
to your current position is great, whereas
the device which speeds up your ejaculation once she's reached you is not great ?
amidvidy: which is why a successful colored coin
trading network will be multitier.
Tier 1 will contain high-volume "supernodes", similar
to MPex,
that provide low latency at
the cost of some anonymity
amidvidy: The nice
thing about a distributed exchange is
that an actor can still behave correctly in
the presence of partial information, unlike bitcoin
BingoBoingo: amidvidy: Bitcoin largely solves
the problem of how
to have a distributed ledger of accounts,
this is very different from breaking up and distributing a whole exchange
mircea_popescu: you form beliefs about how a problem can be solved without having bothered
to define it ;/
amidvidy: I guess I believe
that
the problem *can* be solved
technologically. Just as bitcoin was a better
technological solution
than say,
the Liberty Dollar
BingoBoingo: Remember when Havelock was just
that weird little site
than only wanted
to
trade a SatoshiDice Passthrough.
Vexual: he has no beard
to stoke
mircea_popescu: havelock is in
the process of fuicking itself in
the ass exactly
the same way right now./
mircea_popescu: the
takedown of
the playsites is related
to people making your mistakes (ie, brash notions of youth). it's unrelated
to anything
that can be resolved
technologically.
mircea_popescu: you misjudge both what happened
there and what
that leads
to.
BingoBoingo: amidvidy: In most of
those cases it wasn't so much a
takedown as
they surrended...
amidvidy: but i
think
there is a legitimate demand due
to
the
takedown of sites like bitfunder, btctco, glbse, etc.
amidvidy: agreed. Even if nobody ever uses it, it's an interesting
technical exercise
mircea_popescu: but i guess most need
to learn from
their own experience.
mircea_popescu: so have a bunch of other kids. it never goes anywhere, for
the stated reasons.
Vexual: make a
time machine and
tell your womb
to avoid mobile phones
amidvidy: wow,
that is pretty persuasive. Regardless, I've been designing a Kademlia based exchange, with support for market and limit orders.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he was so close might have gone for areola. no courage in
the spam business
these days
mircea_popescu: it matters like
this :
twenty somethings don't have enough experience wiping
their own bottom
to opine on matters financial.
amidvidy: not really sure why
that matters
though.
BingoBoingo: Being built on
the Dogecoin blockchain might be an acceptable alternative
though
BingoBoingo: amidvidy: Non-existence would be a great property
to have
ozbot: Bitcoin Investment
Trust - SecondMarket
Bugpowder: no coins coming into
their receiving address
Bugpowder: Anyone know how Second Market's assets under management jumped $20MM
today?
dub: save
the moosecock eh
ozbot: Pamela Anderson, Simpsons' Sam Simon offer cash
to sealers - Newfoundland & Labrador - CBC News
BingoBoingo: pizzaman1337: Or sell BTC
to be delivered by Jurov, in a suitcase
pizzaman1337: so basically, you
trade X.EUR if you want
to sell BTC, but stay denominated in BTC, not on a
traditional exchange, and with 40 EUR spread. Seems mostly like a promotion for B-C
to me?
jcpham: that's offensive and ignorant
to say
jurov: then you'll fell better
that you have only
to read
them
jurov: imagine you're
the historian
that got
the
task of analyzing
the logs
dub: gonna have
to scan
this
thing for random
troll outbursts and links from mp
too
benkay: go earn
thy keep, programmer.
benkay: welcome
to
the mpex apis
pizzaman1337: so mpex-mktdepth.php doesn't return
the order books sorted by price?
that's a bummer...
davout: i quickly went back
to
the some-farmer-sells-wheat-for-june
davout: i opened
the last pages of
the book i'm reading and fell in shock discovering about options on options
mircea_popescu: i'd allow an option on
the future just for
the hell of it if someone signed some serious mm ing commitment
davout: but without really
thinking about it at all i'd assume you'd be better served with options if what you want is leverage
davout: didn't really
think about leverage either
davout: and it enables any party
to actually
trade
the EUR without having an account at a regulated exchange
davout: the way i see it
this contract has a couple main benefits
davout: if you want
to go long BTC i suppose
the easiest is
to buy BTC on bitcoin-central.net directly
pizzaman1337: I mean, unless
the options bot has
tighter spreads...
this could be a good option for going long BTC
mircea_popescu: then again maybe
that's just me being a stick in
the mud blocking progress
pizzaman1337: because, unless I'm understanding
this incorrectly, when you buy X.EUR you're basically going long EUR
mircea_popescu: pizzaman1337 i suppose
the idea is for
this
to remain mostly a large player
thing, so no, probably no ui.
pizzaman1337: both making your own hot
teens, and for what you just mentioned
davout: what's
the point of being wealthy if it's not
to own a garçonnière
davout: but anyway, marriage is when
the fun begins
davout: if you have EUR on a bitcoin-central.net you can exchange
them for X.EUR on MPEx 1/1 for
the
time being
davout: or hot
teens, depending on
the offered rate
mircea_popescu: pizzaman1337 you gotta
talk
to davout, deliver euros
to him
dub: they could basically force btc pos acceptance at 50% of
the worlds bars
dub: that heiny
thing could be big
pizzaman1337: just
to confirm, you can't "create" X.EUR contracts and sell
them, right?

pankkake: heineken doesn't sell directly

davout: that's already
too much
davout: you know how

davout: pankkake:
