jurov: yes, but books are made only in
the end of month
mike_c: wait.
these are american options, right? excercise any
time?
jurov: no matter what
trades happened between
mike_c: right,
that seems
to be
the problem. sorry if i'm being slow here. i'll provide better example:
jurov: and rest returned.. and *this* is what get assigned
to you
jurov: in
the end of month, all exercises are put
together and subtracted from all provided collateral
jurov: the record stays
the same regardless what you do with
the options
jurov: after you mkopt or split, you'll see in STAT an entry
that you provided a collateral
mike_c: 5 assigned
to you and 5
to me? free money?
mike_c: that feels.. open
to manipulation.
mike_c: jurov: ok. it says on
the faq
that options will be assigned proportionally based on how many contracts you have created.
jurov: "We've ditched
the "Toronto Exchange" and
totally went Global"
jurov: mike_c just ask,
there are more people with mpoe experience
mike_c: you'd
think with all
that power my
tx would be confirmed by now.
dexX7: ThickAsThieves: are you in
trouble?
jurov: ofc, i'm relating
to
this:"His devotion
to
the machine borders on fanatical; he regularly worked 80 hour weeks and he'd
take "vacations" where it was just him and a computer alone in a hotel room for a whole week – just for fun,
to relax."
pankkake: there are many great movies
that were on a very
tight budget, or examples of sequels with way bigger budgets
that were crap
daybyter: Is
there a statistic, how many underfunded projects fail?
pankkake: actually overfunded projects have a
tendency
to
turn into shit
benkay: a whole
ten shitbucks ;)
KRS-1: wow i'd
throw $10K on
that
too
Bunnyh: is
that 1% house edge?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [LABCO] [PAID] 0.04958868 BTC
to 40`316 shares, 123 satoshi per share
skinnkavaj: Look at Digitalcoins CryptoAve share auction, I bought 1% for 5BTC and
the exchange is
then valued 500BTC, a much undervalued price.
skinnkavaj: If
the price for
the whole exchange is 500-2000 BTC I would buy. If higher,
too big risk and
too easy
to fail.
skinnkavaj: What is
the price
to own 1% of
the exchange? I am
too hungover
to calculate myself.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [XBOND] [PAID] 0.69348300 BTC
to 1`386`966 shares, 50 satoshi per share
pankkake: it would be cool
to have by-address stats on bitbet, for example
to be able
to see how much was won compared
to how much was wagered
ThickAsThieves: I was
told all of
these sentences in my life.
That learning
to accept authority is an inevitable part of growing up.
That my character is defined by how I look, not how I act.
That my single purpose is
to be a work-slave.
To avoid interaction with random unknowns outside my circle. And
that responsibility starts and stops with myself.
ThickAsThieves: “Life is about money. Money makes
the world go round.”

mircea_popescu: if incapsula/cloudflare/etc were any good mpex'd use
them.
mircea_popescu: lol @all
teh crapola dns masquerading firms
trying
to sell
their product.
mircea_popescu: pankkake yurpean govts have better shit
to do
than keep up with
technology.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell benkay computing hashes is a much better "use" of natural gas
than mouthbreathers are a "use" of oxygen. luckily nature is more akin a whore
than a bar of soap : it doesn't wear out.
mircea_popescu: "i'm an underpaid 'creative' with no ideas required
to churn out oodles of 'work', here's my recipe :
take random
things
to make random claims about. can be used
to create an infinity of articles
that are mildly entertaining for
the midly stupid relatively illiterate net dorks."
mircea_popescu: dub oh gtfo. "sanity is a religion" bs, basically
the internet has devolved
to a sort of cracked-clone
pankkake: oh
that was mentionning governments?
benkay: not
to mention
the power
to burn behind fpgas
BingoBoingo: And China doesn't have much of a barrier
to get into mining, because
they have plenty of companies producing ASICs
to seize.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Oh. I just figured Europe was
too busy not being shut down
to get ASICs.
pankkake: it was about "split roughly evenly between
the Chinese and
the US" ;)
BingoBoingo: pankkake: I figure Europe has had
this long figured out. Like
the Spartans did with
the Sodomy until you are 30 business.
BingoBoingo: benkay: Some
times a
troll is just a
troll. Sometimes it is planned. Other
times it is serendipitous. Being a 'Murican whose education lacked
training in
taste, balls in unexpected contexts give me a chuckle...
benkay: at
this point i'm inclined
to
take it on faith but otoh what's
the basis?
benkay: " A good chunk of
the recent hashpower is split roughly evenly between
the Chinese and
the US "
benkay: if in desire of
traps, acquire and enjoy.
benkay: with enough practice and demonstrated competence in rearranging, one doesn't even need
to gamble on whether a given whore is a
trap or not.
benkay: but carefuly rearrangement of atoms can lead
to some pretty spectacular machines
benkay: you can never get more energy out of oil
than is in
there
to begin with
benkay: this comes back
to leverage
benkay: i
think
that what i'm
trying
to say is
that i enjoy and profit from building machines
that
take in energy and do work upon
the environment, disadvantaging some market players and advantaging others.
benkay: i am not making
this point clearly at all
benkay: and while one can extract a certain amount of value from
turning a pile of well-ordered
things into a pile of less-well ordered
things,
the art of business construction is largely
that of building machines
that work against
the entropic gradient.
BingoBoingo: benkay: In a lot of ways
though people and nature are adversaries.
benkay: well, yes, Nature does certainly prefer some arrangements
to others.
those highly ordered arrangements are very useful
to people,
though.
BingoBoingo: benkay: Maybe? Nature generally seems
to push for increases in entropy
though.
The poor get poorer somehow. With enough buttcoins eventually you get enough asses
that
they can't all be
traps.
benkay: it could also be possible
to emulate quantum circuits on VN architecture chips
BingoBoingo: benkay:
There could also be increased security
though.
benkay: there's only marginal profit
to be made in just increasing entropy
BingoBoingo: benkay:
The solution is
to create more noise.
benkay: with
the end result of impenetrable chaos noise on all lines
benkay: it's far cheaper
to promulgate uncertainty and craziness
than specific angles
benkay: once upon a
time
there were channels
benkay: how can one know anything on
the internet
these days
BingoBoingo: benkay: Well,
two different people. How was I
to know
the second was a
trap
though?
benkay: not a
terrifically interesting deployment of capital
BingoBoingo: benkay: Maybe. I've been working actual
troll pretty hard other venues. I've collected quite a few Buttcoins of my own
though.
benkay: straight for
the pooper? what is
this, amateur hour?
benkay: that's a pretty weak counter
troll
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Honestly I'd rather
the local NHL
team move
to
the KHL. More interesting gameplay
there.
nubbins`: ehh, we have an AHL
team but i can't be bothered for
the most part
BingoBoingo: TheSeven: How goes
the LabCoin move
to CryptoStocks or have you bailed
too?
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Sounds like it.
Then again depending on where you are hockey might matter more
than
the constant heartbreak it is here.
nubbins`: anyway, 5.5 hours later, all
that's left is
to patch up some drywall
tomorrow
nubbins`: first plumber on-call couldn't be bothered
to stop watching
the hockey game, i guess, because he suggested "just
tell
the
tenants
to wait until
tomorrow"

nubbins`: after about an hour
they concluded
that
the city's shutoff was buried in concrete when an addition was put on
the house some years ago
nubbins`: water shutoff valve was fucked so we called some city workers out
to shut off
the water from
the street

tenants called
to say water was leaking
through
the downstairs ceiling. $600 and about 300 gallons of water later….
BingoBoingo: Bitcoin seems
to have really butthurt so called "momentum
traders" who
tried
to short it after
the end of
the shutdown.

BingoBoingo: dub: Problem is it is a specific denomination. Like Lutherans, versus Methodists, versus Catholics. None of
these groups care about broad goals.
They just want
their
team
to win.
dub: like all religions, it only survives because
there are so many stupid people
