mike_c: mircea_popescu: do options auto-exercise? just wondering if i need
to bring my keys with me on my
trip.
mircea_popescu: something awful got incredibly bothered
that
their "bitcoin buys nothing irl" winner argument got sunk by "here's
tits, here's ass lol"
ozbot: [QRK] QuarkCoin giveaway - 26k
to donate
pankkake: if I had bitcoins
to spare I'd probably spend my days doing similar stuff
mircea_popescu: pankkake ironically, all
teh peeps ranting about how bitbet is a smalltime
this
that and
the other,
mircea_popescu: i suppose mpoe-pr should give
the 10 bitcoin guy
the buttcoin picture and make it all even.
ozbot: They really are Buttcoins nao pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: but
that's ok, because while bitbet is still here,
the "community" of one is gone,
mircea_popescu: actually.
that
thread was about claiming
that bitbet is a scam because bfl delivered and bitbet resolved
the bet WRONGLY!!!
pankkake: wow so
that
thread was about claiming
that BFL delivered
mircea_popescu: pankkake i imagine she got a buncha people's small cow with springs by
that comment.
pankkake: drmandude: I want
to send you 0.0006969 BTC
pankkake: I mean, I am offended, I am a
tech person.
drmandude: so you guys predicted me,
the guy
that lost money on a win,
to come complain?
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Yeah, curating
the odds, hedging on
the other side if someone dumps a large bet
that skews
things.
drmandude: yeah mircea_popescu
the issue was some idiots without confirmation or payout addresses
that expire and call foul at bitbet
ozbot: BitBet - Novak Djokovic
to win at Wimbledon 2013
mircea_popescu: drmandude you can easily verify it pays because well... go
to an opld bet, click on
the payout links
drmandude: consequenrtly,
this conversation just happened
BingoBoingo: drmandude:
This problem is why I prefer shooting from
the hip and betting as close
to open as possible and
then defending my stake as other people bet.
drmandude: im realizing
that. I was getting
the hang of it.
pankkake: you probably don't want
to bet on anything
that doesn't get you at least a few percents, not worth
the risk of losing vs. winning
drmandude: they were
talking on bitcointalk and reddit
drmandude: i misinterpreted
the calculations on my end
mircea_popescu: the result of
this is
that if you bet very late you may end up with like a <1% loss
mircea_popescu: drmandude
the idea here is,
that if a bet runs for say a month, and you put 1 btc when it opens, some dude betting like 3 weeks later can't get as much as you do of
the winnings
pankkake: well
the issue was both weight and really few Yes
drmandude: Sorry I'm a noob
to
this. Not
trying
to make
trouble :-)
mircea_popescu: lol hi
there. you were mentioned in despatches earlier.
drmandude: this was just
the first
to come in
mircea_popescu: well, bitbet
takes 1%. if you don't get at least 1% from
the winnings pool, you walk out short.
drmandude: Still. You'd
think you'd get out at least what you put in
BingoBoingo: drmandude:
That weight is a dangerous
thing... BitBet has
that calculator on
the page for a reason...
drmandude: just seems kinda like a buzz kill
to lose money on winning a bet
drmandude: I just won a bet, but ended up with less
than I bet...
mike_c: ah, found it.
thanks
though.
pankkake: if it's not
too private, I can search for it in some other place
mike_c: tpb doesn't seem
to have a lot of audiobooks.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah, he started it because no one wanted
to list his abandoncoin.

things wrong

test!
mircea_popescu: not only i'm overeducated and pretty close
to
that billion, but it seems it even correlates inversely.
pankkake: The average net worth of billionaires who dropped out of college, $9.4 billion, is approximately
triple
that of billionaires with Ph.D.s, $3.2 billion.
ozbot: List of college dropout billionaires - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
pankkake: > not enough education
to be successful
mircea_popescu: Yeah, Bitbet is a scam. Run a search on
TRILEMMA and you can see
them banter.
They sound like a bunch of assholes with just enough education
to
think
they are better, but not enough
to be successful.

the word "scam" while you're at it

them about as weird as french women

that.
nubbins`: how
the fuck does behaviour like
