mircea_popescu: things which may not be directly obvious to you may nevertheless be perfectly true. <<
dexX7: x,y problem - what did you intend to say?
mircea_popescu: gleet is the english word for urethral discharge in men. the clap is gonorheea
mircea_popescu: right. i did this deliberately, it's a stylistic device.
notashill: Eyes to the Horizon!
ThickAsThieves: inter-min period before your chips are developed and become a shareholder on the Friedcat list which is pretty secure less price risk of course. "
mircea_popescu: i say you got the clap, you say w/o further information we can only assume.
ThickAsThieves: some stockholder advice for labcoin "That said your bitcoin assets can still be used for other purposes if you are willing to earn interest on your bitcoin capital you can either hold it and make sure they are secure or put them in some bonds such as coinlenders or just-dice for a period of time. Another possibility is to use AM as they are still providing yields on their shares in the
mircea_popescu: suppose you had the gleet.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves there's a public one.
mircea_popescu: for the exact same reasons.
mircea_popescu: no, the same does not go for me.
mircea_popescu: because you personally don't have the experience/skill to call it.
mircea_popescu: well yeah, it's possible. and this is as far as you can go.
dexX7: well, that is possible
mircea_popescu: win-win : the exchange shows fake volume which perhaps may convince someone to pay 3k for the one-vulnerability-a-week piece of crap
mircea_popescu: dexX7 yes dood. here's how it goes : exchange op gives the scam issuer 15k btc in his account.
mircea_popescu: notashill was this originally rablat coin ?
jcpham: i'll probably read about it one day when the thread is subpoena'd
dexX7: but what i wanted to show: the volume on btct is based on trades and thus if you claim the volume is rigged, one has to generate fake trades to pump the numbers
jcpham: tried to tell em glbse was working
jcpham: i caught their thread on page 400 of 600
ThickAsThieves: it's like 'hey if you take the time to read, well, at least our name, you are exempt from this scam"
dexX7: i just present numbers without interpretation, this would be the next step
jcpham: because i think coinlab is scam
ThickAsThieves: me too
mircea_popescu: dexX7 why do you think this is in any way meaningful ?
dub: if you put these together, retarded people throw money at you
dexX7: the api declares a trade as sell if someone sold into a bid and vice versa
dub: todays show brought to you buy the number 2 (weeks) and the letters A, S, I and C
jcpham: surely they've infected the -assets as well
mircea_popescu: dexX7 what is the sells/buys distinction based on ?
mircea_popescu: basically smarmy idiot is the 2 word summary of 5k posts
jcpham: is that what is happening here?
mircea_popescu: pankkake i've had a junior on the thankless task of reviewing his entire history
dexX7: since trading start
mircea_popescu: i've yet to hear of a legit internet biz that astroturfs, but maybe i'm too noob.
pankkake: somehow I had TheSwede75 in my ignore list already
mircea_popescu: sure enough to post.
Hollywoodundead: oh, that was a bad one anyway
Hollywoodundead: get everyone distracted by the naked girls eh?
mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea. your numbers, you tell me. what are they ?
mircea_popescu: dexX7 well asking me to specify what context your numbers have is already quite the faux pas.
dexX7: i think i don't get the broader picture and we might intend to talk about different things
FabianB: mircea_popescu: can i buy some trilema credits here or should i mail you?
mircea_popescu: dexX7 those numbers are meaningless withotu context.
dexX7: buys + sells added = 13716,45 ... which represents the number shown by btct as volume
dexX7: here is some data for lab to work with: N Buys: 991
mircea_popescu: jurov where that ?
dexX7: you simply don't claim the volume is xk btc - if you sum historical trades the numbers should be the same, but thus you would need to generate fake trades
jurov: "Just curious:u r not our shareholders and will never be, then for what kind of pleasure you r seeking to push you waste your life to black others here?"
mircea_popescu: in this case at least.
mircea_popescu: no. it would simply be claiming you're trading ~100x what your actual inflow is.
dexX7: well.. printing numbers would be "simulate hundrets of fake trades hour for hour"
mircea_popescu: quite simply. print random numbers, maybe some doofus acrtually takes it seriously and "invests".
dub: dude, he can tell from te trades and having seen quite a few IPOs in his time
dexX7: you say it's strange that the volume is so high?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves anything you wish it to be.
mircea_popescu: looky, randomly within 10%. together they add up to 26k
ThickAsThieves: wtf is BTCT vol for the day?
mircea_popescu: do you see that 13.7k figure there ?
dexX7: well, for one i don't understand how you come up with 50k inflow. labcoin's ipo were 7k, actm a bit hard to tell, but i go with 3 million shares x 0,0025 ipo price = another 7k
mircea_popescu: im not saying you're incapable of understanding. quite the contrary, i'm expecting you to understand that things which may not be directly obvious to you may nevertheless be perfectly true.
dexX7: but anyway, you're shifting the frame from the topic
dexX7: i read this as "you are incapable of understanding what's going on because you are no professional"
dexX7: generalized insults aren't the way to go here
mircea_popescu: this sort of educated call is difficult to distinguish from random jibberish, if you're not in the thing.
mircea_popescu: see, this is why this is a professional field.
dexX7: well, that's kinda true
ThickAsThieves: would take 1k probly
mircea_popescu: and a few k's aren't a few tens of k's.
mircea_popescu: if i were to sell a few k's worth of am outright it'd plumet the price to half or some shit.
dexX7: new coins = new on the exchange, old coins = "i sell am shares to buy lab shares"
mircea_popescu: or else the ipo is buying and selling its own shares to wash trade.
dexX7: you can't simply sum all ipo-money and pretend those are "new" coins
dexX7: http://i.imgur.com/NjU0oco.jpg < this is a chart of "price x outstanding shares" summed up for all listed assets -- not very representive (or maybe not at all), but it gives the impression that the money flows within the exchange
mircea_popescu: add up the various buy-ins of the various scam ipos
mircea_popescu: no. i refer to the fact that burnside has supposedly had close to 50k btc of net inflows this past week,
dexX7: you both refer to the fact that you can open multiple bid orders which would exceed your balance, but get cancled, if one is executed?
mircea_popescu: but if some guy creates fake btc in his pretend-exchange then suddenly it's all very feasible.
mircea_popescu: this appearance can not be created by the scammer alone,
mircea_popescu: looky here : you're all mommentum traders. on one hand this means you don't have a fucking clue and don't contribute anything of value. on the other hand it means it's quite easy to separate you ferom your btc dust : just create an item which *appears* to be in high demand and trading in high volume.
dexX7: i'm sorry then, could you rephrase your statement?
mircea_popescu: you're still missing the point.
dexX7: because if not, it comes down to "people are scammers till ... i don't know" or "people are no scammers, till they get caught scamming"
dexX7: can you provide anything else than a claim for orderbook manipulation by burnside?
FabianB: dexX7: no-one can ever have them
FabianB: wasn't that the complained of jurov and Ukyo a while ago that you can use the same coin multiple times in order books on btct?
dexX7: i don't get the point
mircea_popescu: today the book exceeds the btc in circulation. what now ?
mircea_popescu: dexX7 you're missing the point.
dexX7: <gecko_x2> 5056929133.32942867 btc ask in ActM? < 10000 x 500000 btc ;) it's better to messure asks in shares and not btc obviously
benkay: mircea, on the topic of le homos ancien
gecko_x2: it's there now
mircea_popescu: screenshot all the things
smidge: the btcgarden thread is geeting more creepy by the minute
BigBitz: did you forget the whole suffix ?
Urushiol: just listen to any earnings call
Urushiol: seriously? investors (especially those who hold or are looking to buy) are the most critical when it comes to questioning.
afrotec: loyal shareholder wouldnt do such a thing
