pankkake: so the price could still keep up at least
pankkake: I don't think they promised something in 1-3 months

Rulother_: I'll brb, need a smoke to clear my head.
Rulother_: Sometime, not this weekend, maybe end of next week
Rulother_: This is just like the time it made it to .0045 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_: Long term bet I see
ThickAsThieves: Like AMC will be worth less than .0025 on Dec 1st
Rulother_: Yeah it's tricky like you said
ThickAsThieves: you'd have to extend out to Oct/Nov
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: and i dont want to do that
ThickAsThieves: i'd have to learn more about AMC to choose the timeline
ThickAsThieves: but that would be too complicated for AMC fans
Rulother_: A bet that it will crash mid-August and not recover?
ThickAsThieves: or we could bet on the yield % on a certain date
FabianB: the timeframe is probably tricky
ThickAsThieves: but i wanted to some how bet around it being a possible scam
ThickAsThieves: I guess we could just bet on the price

pankkake: though you could do the second one with gauth I guess
pankkake: however there are other uses of a yubikey: https://www.yubico.com/2012/12/yubikey-neo-openpgp/ http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20130616112437
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.
Rulother_: Guess my tablet died
mjoiii: Yeah, wasn't going to take "copycats are cool" as investment advise.
ThickAsThieves: just to be clear, this is all sarcasm
ThickAsThieves: cuz copycats are always better than the source
Rulother_: lol, well to be fair it could very well still be.
Rulother_: About to cross .005
thestringpuller: I thought S.DICE was getting delisted

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."
mircea_popescu: except in soviet romania bed comes to you

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"?
mircea_popescu: BIPS’s technology is a world-leading product
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
ThickAsThieves: there are compromises though
mjr_: only on web pages can i say, eh, fuck that, i don't feel like it
kakobrekla: oh, there is a standard
mjr_: of course they can
ThickAsThieves: browsers can do things
ThickAsThieves: people dont use the control they have on the web
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
ThickAsThieves: that will die too
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
ThickAsThieves: "find something bad about this"
