pankkake: perhaps you're looking at a bet
that is soon
to be ending?
jamespeerless: seems like bit bet's method of calculating winnings is kind of flawed? it lends itself
to horrible odds.. why would someone risk 1BTC
to receive like .001 btc.. shouldn't
they
try
to match bets of
the same fixed odds and just return leftover amounts?

nubbins`: i guess
that guy's hot sauce won't cut it,
then
ThickAsThieves: from
the comments: "Next, Ouya starts accepting canned goods and other non perishable food items."
nubbins`: it does, however, go
to bed at a more reasonable hour
ozbot: Zig-Zag (company) - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
nubbins`: pankkake you guys must have some cool zig-zags over
there hey?
pankkake: I have about 50tb of raw storage at home! not
The Google yet, but nice
pankkake: I wonder if
there are futures for data storage
nubbins`: i
thought google was backed by
the fact
that
they know everything about our private lives
Vexual: now
that would have been some gritty investigative journalism
Vexual: calls are riskier, so he stuck
to looking at puts.
mircea_popescu: well...
the bot isn't particularly intended
to be reliable.
benkay: you missed
the sarcasm in
the smiley.
benkay: bringing some light
to
that "somehow" is
the sort of
thing one'd expect a 'journalist'
to do.
mircea_popescu: well...
the bot not quoting has little
to do with mpex's reliability.
pankkake: well he meant
that MPEx was unreliable basically. having
the quotes back doesn't change
that
Vexual: rushed for
the china bank news no doubt
benkay: too late for
the unfortunate article :(
Apocalyptic: I just pointed out
that in
this specific case MPEX and MPOE are somehow closely related, so it may be relevant
to point it out if done correctly
benkay: Apocalyptic:
the market maker not quoting prices is not anywhere near similar
to
the exchange going down.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic not really, i mean
they're conglomerated but separate.
Vexual: next
time someone should probably wake mircea
Apocalyptic: but he didn't mention
that and seem
to have no clue so yeah
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, well in your case
the exchange is
the market maker also
ThickAsThieves: hey no one pointed out
that bitcoin's worth more
than Google
mircea_popescu: i guess it's hard being clueless and yet havintg
to write about shit.
pankkake: and
the obligatory
tulip bulp mention
mircea_popescu: i suppose he missed
the part where last month ppl made like 3k btc or w./e
pankkake: "The best I could come up with is shorting
the GPU manufacturers
that bitcoin miners commonly use" in
the comments
mircea_popescu: why is it
the exchange's problem if
the bot puts or doesn't put orders in
Vexual: i wonder if
they'll print it
benkay: someone do
that please.
davout: would be funny if someone posted a link
to
the log in
the comments
Vexual: revealing sources instantly
transmogriphys a senior editing journalist into a lowly blogger
pankkake: they clearly have
the power
to pump any security or altcoin
they want
pankkake: at least he didn't mention
that when he joined
the discussion was about underage actresses
ThickAsThieves: forbes guy coulda at least gave
the chan a shoutout sheesh
pankkake: I certainly don't mind
the media
talking about bitcoin, even if bad
davout: pankkake: i
thought it was you as well :-)
Apocalyptic: pankkake, no look at
the first comment author's avatar
ThickAsThieves: "On
top of all
that,
this isn't like
trading on
the New York Stock Exchange. Midday Wednesday, MPEx appeared
to shut down, and
the prices of
the contracts disappeared. I was
told
this happens a lot. As of early
Thursday,
the exchange still wasn't listing prices. "
ThickAsThieves: "You can't currently do
that with bitcoins. All of
the bitcoin options and futures contracts are settled in bitcoins.
This is a very bad deal."
Vexual: I was
told
this happens a lot.
benkay: "you can
totally short bitcoins profitably - it just
takes a lot of money
to make it reasonably profitable. ergo, bitcoins r
tardfodder."
benkay: 2 contracts minimum
to profit
benkay: as real as
the people buying
them, one assumes
benkay: "that lead me
to question just how real
the prices MPEx was quoting were"

mike_c: people are angry at you on
the forums? hard
to believe.
pankkake: I love when
they get angry at you (like 7C it seems). Who's begging for who's money?

Vexual: I
thought
that was creative chinese
tax accountants i could hear
benkay: "retail investors must reside outside
the us"
KRS|gotyawallet: ecom
type web sites can easily chew
through
that kind of funding..hope its just
the initial round of investment
ozbot: » itBit closes $3.25 mln funding round and unveils Bitcoin

KRS|gotyawallet: another exchange coming it looks like..well funded launch
too
nubbins`: if only
the letters "h-a-r-d-e-r" were in
the word "interest"
nubbins`: maybe
that's why it's only at $145

Vexual: chinese pesants can't put bitcoins in

nubbins`: definitely less fun

pankkake: perhaps
they are nigerians with an ethical policy of only scamming americans
pankkake: floor
tiles would actually be smart (if you have nothing better
than electricity)
mircea_popescu: i like
the part about
THE SCAMMERS chjecking other people's records./
pankkake: oh right it's
the smartphone idea, lol.
that's why I closed it
the first
time
pankkake: We plan
