davout: i always want
to make yo mamma jokes when someone mentions a wide spread
turbo_ac100: "Select images for
those bitcoin printings
that convey respect and prestige globally, perhaps
the portraits of American presidents." o_O
mircea_popescu: In November 2010,
teenage Moroccan belly dancer and alleged prostitute Karima El Mahroug (better known as "Ruby Rubacuori") claimed
to have been given $10,000 by Berlusconi at parties at his private villas.
The girl
told prosecutors in Milan
that
these events were like orgies where Berlusconi and 20 young women performed an African-style ritual known as
the "bunga bunga" in
the nude.
mircea_popescu: is an Italian politician, entrepreneur, media
tycoon, frequent criminal defendant and convicted
tax evader who served
three
times as Prime Minister of Italy
davout: pankkake:
that happens when
the front has loaded, but it' still waiting for
the api
to answer
mircea_popescu: dub
thb

the presidents of all failed european colonies.
dub: they are people
that other people have or would liek
to shoot at duh
pankkake: davout: oh it's back. it was showing 0€ no
trades
mircea_popescu: since when does
the set of us presidents convey respek or prestige ?
dub: 5 wayz
to fux buttcoin, make it into USD
pankkake: "Select images for
those bitcoin printings
that convey respect and prestige globally, perhaps
the portraits of American presidents" unintentional?
dub: this has
to be satire right?

dub: everyone chill
the fuck out
turbo_ac100: hey mircea_popescu, do you want
to make someone make a firefox search engine plugin for bitbet? Imagine asigning keyword bb and just 'bb bfl' would CREATE fun - or at least find it.
mike_c: i'll
think on it some more. and can maybe explain more clearly.
mike_c: yeah, i just feel like we're
talking about
tcp KEEP_ALIVE and deciding it's
too complicated :) even
tcp is complicated.
mike_c: if
this were a simple problem we wouldn't be
talking about it. simple designs are great, but limiting.
thestringpuller: and stat only shows recent, was seeing if
the user would be
the SoR
thestringpuller: yea, but I was seeing how
the user could see more of
their
trades in a gui
thestringpuller: of course, but
the user has
to record, mpex doesn't have SoR
mircea_popescu: yes, if
they want
to store data
they;ll need a filesystem or some other similar implement
mircea_popescu: bbet's interface is very simple by design, but your
thing would be sort-of like
the rpc call of all
time
mircea_popescu: and
the fact
that you will need a very solid api or nobody will mm it.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: so for
the "average" mpex user
they would need
to call stat evert "blah" hours and keep a log of all of
them
to record every
trade/transaction
they've made on mpex no?
mike_c: and
the fact
that you would need
to potentially return money.
mike_c: if it can be done without accts, all
the better. just sorting incoming bets is
the problem.
Bunnyh: how about sorting bets in
the same block by creation
time of betting addresses?
mircea_popescu: or for
that matter invest in zh's darling, i forget what it was called.
mircea_popescu: if you're gonna do
that may as well just make it
the
thing, let people
trade shares.
mike_c: similar
to
the calculator on BB right now
mike_c: the mm is just a help
to see what you're getting.
mircea_popescu: honestly i dun see myself using it, sounds like a sort of bettrade w/e
that
thing was called, except with a perhaps very broken auto-mm
tacked on
mike_c: so it doesn't need
to be mpex
gribble: MtGox BTCUSD
ticker | Best bid: 740.0, Best ask: 743.28947, Bid-ask spread: 3.28947, Last

mike_c: except
the order of magnitude is lower
mike_c: then its
the same as mpex
mircea_popescu: the blockchain exists in
the first place because
time isnt reliable.
mike_c: ah, block
time isn't dependable?
mircea_popescu: (depending who mines
the block
the same exact
tx can end up with diff
timestamps)
mike_c: i meant bet
time on BitBet, but you reuse addresses, so you won't always have
that.
thestrin1puller: mircea_popescu: when you retrieve depth stat and matches
to json stat, no? So is it possibly
to just
take current
top ask/bid depth value and
translate it into market buy or market sell?
mike_c: same block, sort by bet
time?
mike_c: lemme
think on sorting.
mike_c: you have
to refund I guess. I'm on bitbet, i say "i want 10btc of dems at up
to 0.2 per share". You generate an address and in your DB mark it as a limit order at 0.2. if you can only fill 5btc of it you have
to send
the other 5 back..
mike_c: unless something seems way off
to you. like
the idea of putting in a limit order.
mike_c: and now you bet
the other side.
mike_c: nobody unhappy, because if
that whale gets in before you, you just don't get filled
mike_c: you basically put in a limit order. "buy up
to 10btc of shares at up
to 0.2 each"
mircea_popescu: i now go
to
the forum and open a scam
thread, saying you put
the 10 btc
mircea_popescu: suppose i send 1 btc, ion
the reps, and discover i didn't get 8 shares but .7 because someone put 10btc in 10 minutes before me.
mike_c: so
the right
time
to bet is when i feel
the odds are wrong, which isn't really
the case right now
mike_c: and am incented
to do so quickly, before someone else does
mike_c: 0.7 on dems,
then 10 on reps
mike_c: that is, say
the situation went differently.
mike_c: but shares do not devalue with
time in
this scheme.
mike_c: first off,
that is currently
the situation with BB. betting early on a high volume bet is a guaranteed win.
mircea_popescu: then as long as
the odds are 10:1 or less i am safe buying 10 btc each side, cheap shares
mircea_popescu: but if i know
that a certain bet will reach say 200 btc
total wagered
mike_c: and if you see an imbalance, you are incented
to act quickly
mike_c: not exactly.
the bet should always,
throughout its lifetime, float around its current probability
mircea_popescu: basically
to extract value out of
this scheme all you need
to know is your avg volume
mircea_popescu: so any new bet is basically a landrush
to buy
the early shares ?
mike_c: yes.
that's
the beauty.
mircea_popescu: even if
these could be within five minutes of each other ?
