pankkake: so
the price could still keep up at least
pankkake: I don't

to be something
that can resolve in 1-3mos

Rulother_: I'll brb, need a smoke
to clear my head.
Rulother_: Sometime, not

the

the first
time
gecko_x2: wish i had gone all in at
the ipo
Rulother_: I know it'll drop
to .0045 within 2hrs
Rulother_: I imagine he'll say something within 2 weeks saying
they need more
time and
these people will buy it like BFL
Rulother_: I say around
that
time, when
they don't is when panic sets in
Rulother_: They said 3-4 weeks until
they give out anymore details on
their latest business deal
ThickAsThieves: i'd have
to learn more about AMC
to choose
the
timeline
Rulother_: A bet
that it will crash mid-August and not recover?
FabianB: the
timeframe is probably
tricky
ThickAsThieves: but i wanted
to some how bet around it being a possible scam
ThickAsThieves: I started
to make a bitbet for
them, but it got
too
tricky
to word it
[\]: I woudln't say
that is
trying
Rulother_: someone is
trying
to lower
the price
Rulother_: Caught me, made 50% back, so I figured

that so many of
the "asset" players are also inveterate gamblers.
Rulother_: All I did in wow was mine and sell
to
the AH
pankkake: though you could do
the second one with gauth I guess
Rulother_: Was looking into it is all, wasn't sure if
there really was anything it had over Google Auth
Rulother_: Can't recall all
too many sites
that use it, so I'm
trying
to justify
the cost of it.
mjoiii: Yeah, wasn't going
to
take "copycats are cool" as investment advise.
Rulother_: lol, well
to be fair it could very well still be.
ThickAsThieves: When
that S.MPOE bid wall at 0.00077250 gets eaten, is
that when we find out
that MPEx bought S.DICE?
benkay: things are just
things?
mjr_: like dollars for something? i barter dollars, in exchange for your
thing

ThickAsThieves: <dexX7>
this would enable
the conversion between
tat.am and am-pt <<< his loss
dexX7: "For example, (these numbers are just illustrative) you might consider 1 share of ASICMINER-SHORT.LOAN = 1 share of ASICMINER-PT = 100 shares of
TAT.ASICMINER.
The shares will be directyl exchangeable (send 100-shares of
TAT.ASICMINER
to
the Loan Fund, receive 1 share of
the loan fund; or
the reverse)." ->
this would enable
the conversion between
tat.am and am-pt
mircea_popescu: pankkake here's
the cliffnotes : he's seen
the brendio/deprived attempt at a synthetic short
pankkake: I have a hard
time understanding how his
thing works
mircea_popescu: but he's paying interest on shares, so it's pretty clear how much he has
to do with
this line of work.
dexX7: you have no information about his
timezone, do you?
mircea_popescu: "I will attempt
to follow
this
thread and
the crosspost on reddit
throughout
the day while I'm at work, and I will be able
to respond more
thoroughly
to questions and comments after about 9pm UTC."

dexX7: Dealing with Mt. Gox was becoming increasingly unworkable, he
told CoinDesk. Withdrawal
times were
the biggest bugbear. “In BIPS’ case, each withdrawal had a pending period of over eight weeks.
This was devastating on BIPS’ fiat buffer, as we process withdrawals in 1
to 5 business days,” he complained.
dexX7: from coindesk: "BIPS is a
two-year-old payment processor cited by Crunchbase as
the largest provider of bitcoin payments in Europe."
mircea_popescu: so basically
this means "hi, we're
too stupid
to have followed mp's get off gox orders in april. we're doinfg it in august"
pankkake: world-leading as in "we're number of
two, out of
two"?
benkay: now
there's an arbitrage play
tiberiusix: content monetization is needed when cheapskates dont want
to pay useage fees
ThickAsThieves: I gave up
trying
to make
the web pretty because everyone
that was willing
to pay me wanted
to make it ugly
mjr_: only on web pages can i say, eh, fuck
that, i don't feel like it
mjr_: i'm saying, on
the web,
there is a lack of standards
pankkake: well
the good
thing is
third-party application which give back some control back
to
the user
mjr_: and know exactly what
they will see
mjr_: not
to say
that most designers/developers actually
take advantage
mjr_: as i know exactly how
that "website" will be displayed
mjr_: but i am controlling
the user experience
pankkake: most "apps" are actually frontends
to a website
mjr_: also, you can control
the entirety of your app, you don't have
to worry about what your end user will be using
mjr_: apps are much easier
to monetize
mjr_: you will appreciate his article
then
mjr_: his point is
that it will die, apps are becoming
the new de facto way for people
to consume online content
ThickAsThieves: i have background in design (identity, layout,
typography)
mjr_: its basically a cry for
the web
to maintain relevance
mjr_: his rant goes deeper
than
that
ThickAsThieves: second,
there is not enough distinction between UIX and aesthetic
mjr_: but also, read his article, i
think you'll agree with his points
