opc0d3: i run linux on all my servers. but can
tell you from experience
that big corps prefer MSFT
opc0d3: pankkake: doesn't mean
that running a .NET site is stupid or bad idea.
benkay: and what's
the fb market cap? and
their competence/business acumen?
opc0d3: only idiots would buy windows.
That Mircosoft company must be worthless.... let me check
Apocalyptic: do
they ? i feel more secure running a linux server honestly
opc0d3: Apocalyptic: yeah, funny
that most of
the worlds corporate software runs on .NET , i wonder why multi-billion dollar companies use .NET... what idiots@!!
nubbins`: there's an "x" in
those extensions!
pankkake: oh a webchat user,
the advance sign of retardation
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 you don't have what
to
think i'm full of shit with.
opc0d3: mircea_popescu: even
though i
think you're full of shit.... your picture on
that horse is hilarious. +1
Apocalyptic: well
the fact site is running on ASP makes me chuckle a bit
opc0d3: MPEX is upset
that
they've stolen market share so
they
tried
to slander
them
opc0d3: Apocalyptic: its
the largest Futures exchange, and
they have 0%
trading fees right now... its awesome
mircea_popescu: if nothing else, because
there's little doubt and even less uncertainity involved.
mircea_popescu: and
to clarify, opc0d3 , you don't get
to come in after a coupla years and call established fact "fud" and "bs".
mircea_popescu: benkay
the article quoted, and
there's periodic such reports on bitcointalk
benkay: "don't have
the dough
to pay
the winners"
opc0d3: mircea_popescu: it's in your interest
to slander you competitors. so, forgive me if I call you on your FUD and BS
mircea_popescu: unregulated markets have various advantages, among which
the existence of such idiocy.
mircea_popescu: then
they hire some five cent an hour muppets and are again alll sucess and bigger and bigger.
mircea_popescu: then
they magically don't have
the dough
to pay
the winners, and go into a cone of darkness for a half year
opc0d3: ICBIT.se is
the most legitimate futures exchange right now, and
the largest.... so laugh at
their success
mircea_popescu: the difference is
that mpex uses actual figures, rather
than running
this
thinly veiled scam you do.
nubbins`: pankkake:
there's nothing stopping
that from being a renamed .jspx ;)
mircea_popescu: i love it when 4 month old muppets imagine
their short lifespan compensates for 2year+ history.
opc0d3: mircea_popescu:
they have more volume now. you obviously bought futures in a
thin market, and it moved against you.
pankkake: >
trusting a website with urls in .aspx
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 don't be an idiot.
that article is older
than your involvement in "finance".
opc0d3: point is, he's
trusted
opc0d3: mircea_popescu: sounds like you're just bitter
that
they had
thin volume and someone
traded against you
benkay: well
then give him all your isk
opc0d3: Tycho is an ADMIN at bitcointalk and very
trusted and is one of
the owners.
opc0d3: mircea_popescu: so you claim
that
they sell fake contracts down
to force people into margin calls?? doubt it. i've been
trading
there for 4 months, in
the black significantly, (im on
this list
https://icbit.se/WebTrade/top.aspx ) and have made multiple withdrawls.
benkay: i would put
the a.c. outside for
the night if
that hit my radar unsolicited.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the entire "bitcoin is fiat" argument fails
to comprehend
that
the only
true scarcity is mathematical in nature.
nubbins`: consider
the statement suitably modified
benkay: it's not a subcommittee, it only reports
to me.
nubbins`: benkay: i'm not
the one with an aesthetics subcommittee.
opc0d3: benkay: 170,000 volume on
the futures contracts
benkay: nubbins`: art because your lord said so. money by
the same.
mike_c: went from 1 btc
to 2? congrats!
opc0d3: 4:1 leverage. best way
to make money with exchange rate going up
benkay: opc0d3: what's
the options volume on icbit?
opc0d3: I doubled my BTC buying futures at ICBIT.se,
the greatest and largest futures exchange of all
time
opc0d3: MPEX going
to zero. how do i short MPEX. +1 ICBIT.se
opc0d3: ICBIT.se 0% fees. mpex is going down
the drain. ICBIT.se 2 years of rock solid
trusted service. ICBIT.se futures much better
then MPEX garbage with 40BTC signup fee
mike_c: it's one of
those arguments
that when you hear it, your ears start
to bleed a little.
benkay: which is moronic given
that all currencies are only such by consensus
mike_c: it doesn't mean anything. What
they mean when
they say it is
that it isn't backed by anything of value. you know, like gold.
benkay: i
think
the implication is
that it's a currency by consensus
mircea_popescu: da fuck is "bitcoin is fiat currency" supposed
to mean ?
benkay: i find myself
trying
to convince people of stuff again dammit :(
benkay: i'm still
trying
to formulate an argument against people who hold
that bitcoin is fiat currency
benkay: how does one
trust
the issuer of such cc
to back it fully and not descend into fractional reserve behavior?
benkay: just
thinking about
the concept shows it riddled with
the holes of weak minds
benkay: meaning in
the absence of a functional commodity-backed cc?
benkay: given
that i can
take my buttcorns down
to ye local banker and
turn
them into commodities,
this is idiocy on idiocy, right?
benkay: (high quality and, you know, appeals
to my
taste etc)
benkay: unless
they have cogent reasons for
to not, obviously.
benkay: nubbins`: when a
thing strikes me as being of high quality, i generally submit it
to
the aesthetics comittee for discussion and
then instruct said aesthetes
to purchase
the
thing
nubbins`: honestly,
the concept of going shopping for art hadn't occurred
to me until now
benkay: on an entirely different
topic, i fly
to argentina
tomorrow. i'd be glad
to act as a proxy in buenos aires for, you know, not *anyone*, but people in
this channel with btc-related inquiries
benkay: very definitely a delegable
task.
benkay: can't be arsed
to go shopping
though
benkay: i exercise veto all
the
time, man. neural nets need feedback
to work correctly.
benkay: there's some irony in
there.
nubbins`: i
thought we were all mad here
nubbins`: "man,
this benkay guy must employ someone who has really good
taste in art"
nubbins`: in
that context, yes, i suppose you'd only have
the opinion of
the "powerful" on which
to rely
nubbins`: so you pay someone
to buy art
to put in your home or office or w/e in order
to not appear like
the sort of person who would be perfectly content inside a grey cube
benkay: and i only deploy capital against aesthetic
things when it's going
to have some sort of caloric return. eg: "babe,
take
this small pile of capital and deploy it making
this space look nice.
that way when clients come by
they won't be horrified by my abysmal decoration and might actually be impressed by my aesthetic committee's performance"
benkay: i did find
the line about equivalency between aesthetic value and caloric value amusing
benkay: it's like
the f=ma of power dynamics
benkay: which is baseline
true
benkay: the only opinions as what matter
terribly are
those as what emanate from
the powerful
benkay: ain't nothing
to it, really
dub: respect
that privacy
Kleeck_: How is your VM getting out
to
the internet, bitcoin349?
bitcoin349: If
the rat is on
their computer from when I sent it without hiding my ip
then I uninstall it before wiretransfering funds
through bitcoin on a virtual machine with different settings and hiding ip on 3 layers would I be
traced or would
their not be a log in
the ISP of
the info about
the rat.
nubbins`: that's
the first
thing people see
nubbins`: anyway, it doesn't even really matter what
the specifics look like. it's all about layout on
the page
nubbins`: not sure, you'd have
to ask mp
pankkake: wow pretty good drawing. i
think I would have
trouble with
the
teeth
nubbins`: although certainly
the first
time it's been featured in someone else's blog
