imsaguy: one could assume
that if a password for nickserv is compromised,
that a gpg password is also compromised.
kakobrekla: since when does it matter for mp what most people
think ?
mircea_popescu: for instance for irc banter
the fact i'm logged in with nickserv is enough for most people.
nanotube: also, funny how
they managed
to impersonate you. hope
that you have apprised your cooperators
that in
the future
they should only
trust it is you if you can sign a one
time challenge. :)
nanotube: mircea_popescu: yea i saw
that. just
that yesterday
there was a placeholder page saying "we're down" and now it isn't even loading.
VanCleef: southpark ripping on people crying about nsa
today was funny
mircea_popescu: so is anyone going
to pick up
their knc miner
this weekend ?
kakobrekla: neobee is not
trading at 300% ipo price yet, not an amazing company at all
pankkake: btctctct closes
trading
the 7th I
think?
pankkake: there's one guy bidding for a satoshi per share, I hope he gets
them eventually
kakobrekla: he would have
to sell his labcoin shares
to gather 100btc anyway
mircea_popescu: leaving aside
the lol of "mp operates bitbet" and "a webiste which displays its db is opaque"
mircea_popescu: I have insider info and
they WON'T deliver in September. Again: best case scenario beginning of October.
To
the guy who asked why I don't bet big
to NO: because
the risk/reward is
too low for me, and I mean
that
the risk of
trusting a substantial amount of coins
to a
third party (BITBET) opaquely operated by a scumbag (Mircea Popescu) is not worth
the risk given
the low odds (EG: betting 100BTC
to NO pays 107.49182167
pankkake: some are really disgusting looking
to me - not bad looking, disgusting
mircea_popescu: also, allow me
to introduce new moustachecoin venture capital firm and projects, with facehair ceos of pro :
Apocalyptic: "For
this
task I accept just members of bitcointalk
that have at least 150 post (Sorry newbies but I need expert people)" btctalk at its best
pankkake: unless I forgot
to put my address in and it was removed because of
that. not sure
ozbot: [ANN]

mircea_popescu: "Then why has it never happened for ripplepay? Why am I not paying a fee
to download or upload Ubuntu ISO? Why am I not paying a fee
to access
this page and submit a post?"
pankkake: I know, but I set it before submitting
the form, and it was forgotten
pankkake: kakobrekla: I did put 1 days before resolution, which is invalid; so I got
the form again, with all my data except "PLACE YOUR BET ON" which was removed
mircea_popescu: also, he's
tried and
therefore nobody should criticize him.
mircea_popescu: it's a logo, looking about as geenric as it could, and
therefore it's a start!
pankkake: and I didn't check again, so here's why
there's a second submission
pankkake: when
the New Bet form does validate, it forgets
the "place your bet on" part
mircea_popescu: because rearview mirror is 10x as big, not
to mention how much more visible it is.
mircea_popescu: they want
to make a new car,
they put out
the orders by part weight.
thus rearview mirror looking like mercedes' is 10x as important as injectors looking like mercedes'
pankkake: this is how altcoins work
though

Scrat: i meant
the current incarnation, not
the old ripple
mircea_popescu: Scrat im not sure
the protocol couldn't be salvaged into something useful
pankkake: and you need maybe like one big exchange adopting it
to kill Ripple
mircea_popescu: somebody's gotta do it
tho. preferably somebody with a clue, and who isn't a "ceo".
kakobrekla: just change
their PoS
to sha256 PoW and merge it
pankkake: the idea is interesting.
the security has
to be looked into first
mircea_popescu: yeah ideally i'd like
to see someone fork
that shit
thus
taking out of
the pie idiots like coinscam, inc or w/e it's called.
pankkake: somehow people
think it's going
to make XRP more valuable. it should be
the exact contrary, especially after
the first fork happens
pankkake: "As far as
the original network is concerned we will continue
to recommend our own validators for
the
time being" eh…
pankkake: "But
that's
the whole point of open-sourcing: It's one
thing we can do
to help keep us honest. I believe as long as we continue
to live up
to our promises, work hard and provide value
to users,
they will continue
to use our network." I must agree
kakobrekla: > misterbigg > I
think we're going
to see a lot of old posts and websites getting updated with retractions regarding "Ripple is not open source" now. Especially since
they are liable for slander (libel?) otherwise.
pankkake: it means I can't bet 0.1 BTC with a friend. which is normal, because it would cost
too much for bitbet
to resolve
pankkake: "YOU SHOULD
TAKE A SIDE WITH MIN 5 BTC BET"
the20year1: I was sort of looking at co-listing on another exchange outside of BF , and was gonna go
the BTCT route, but
that's no longer an option
pankkake: lower, but I
think it's going
to change a lot
the20year1: How is havelock volume compared
to bitfunder?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [XBOND] [PAID] 0.69348300 BTC
to 1`386`966 shares, 50 satoshi per share
ozbot: Once again
the Winklevoss
twins get beaten launching
their big idea: a bitcoin
trust - Cryptocurrenc
San1ty_: BTCOxygen:
Thank you very much
BTCOxygen: San1ty_: IMO, You should put
the current asset price
there.
San1ty_: Hi guys, I want
to do an internal asset
transfer at BTC-TC what do I fill in in
the value/share box?
MilkyLep: Why are people selling?!?!
They will have 20TH any week now!
mircea_popescu: the cruelty of including flavoured lubricated condoms with
that...
benkay: and
then put silly, ineffectual locks on it
VanCleef: he
tried
to hack mpex but realised noone was using it
truffles: wanted
to check if bitcoin has its own blackbox issues now
too
Vexual: It could be "Yeah we've got private fibre, but
think hard before point your bots at us"
Vexual: what would it mean
to make
those
trades before
the announcement, knowing
that was
the
time of
the announcemnt?
dexX7: nah, just a lucky
trader
truffles: time zones matter for
the pc stuff nowadays
KRS1: Washington is in
the eastern
time zone and chicago is central
time zone..it
took one hour + 2ms for
the
trade
to execute
dexX7: 7 ms equals
the
time
the information needs
to propagate
dexX7: i'm wondering.. how does it work anyway? do news agencies push news and
trading systems use
text analysis
tools
to extract information
to
trigger a
trading decision?
Vexual: usually it
takes a bot 7ms
to act on
the info?
[\]: which means someone had
the know and scheduled it ahead of
the release
[\]: usually it
takes 7ms
Vexual: are
the chicago exchanges measured with
the same clock?
mircea_popescu: Last Wednesday,
the Fed announced
that it would not be
tapering its bond buying program.
This news was released at precisely 2 pm in Washington “as measured by
the national atomic clock.” It
takes 7 milliseconds for
this information
to get
to Chicago. However, several huge orders
that were based on
the Fed’s decision were placed on Chicago exchanges 2-3 milliseconds after 2 pm. How did
this happen ?
Vexual: there was no snide double meaning,
the ropework on
that boat is fucked.
Vexual: mp, i made a gybe about
the condition of
the ropework on your rented dhow in
the bore-ums.
this was before I learned of your security breach. sorry
Duffer1: i have an extra steam key for March of
the Eagles, free
to anyone
that will actually play it
kakobrekla: its a substitute for
the real
thing for americans
jurov: oh
the horror "One bitcoin day
trader
told Quartz he has
to
trade
through a Japanese bank and show up in person at
the bank’s New York headquarters
to move his money
to a US bank account."
[\]: the winklevoss
twins ARE satoshi
VanCleef: satoshi nakamoto stole
the bitcoin idea off winkletoss
twins
[\]: and
then someone else did it
