Scrat: it's on the stats page
kingofsports: yeah just-dice got taken for 4000 BTC by "celeste"
kingofsports: tomservo no the site was up 200 before he wagered and then someone said site up 1400 i came back to bugpowder upset n pissed.
mircea_popescu: TomServo iirc site was in the black like 3k
kingofsports: true apo but he wa s a whale player and dooglus reset the account, i have kingofsports again his username on there for #11 is banker.
TomServo: kingofsports: so was it bugpowder that put just-dice back in the black?
Apocalyptic: especially since everyone has only his tormail
Apocalyptic: kingofsports, still doesn't exclude the possibility of him being a scammer
kingofsports: nah they changed the username
kingofsports: someone paid me 5 BTC for my account on just-dice.com they wanted a low acccount number for chat...dunno why but hey almost $500 free basically.
assbot: !mp <signcrypted dpaste.com url> (desc: returns the response from MPEX order)
assbot: !ticker <exchange> <ticker> (desc: returns current ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO) {short: !t}
kingofsports: he still has like 600 i think dunno tho he cashed it all off the site
kingofsports: he was invested then started gambling for a couple coins nightly
ThickAsThieves: he has more to lose surely
kingofsports: he referred me to this room if i ever wanted to talk trading.
kingofsports: by the way, bugpowder who was in here might not be back for a bit
pigeons: you didnt offend anyone, you're fine, i won't stop teasing you yet though
mircea_popescu: a. ty mr strategic thinker, that's a good point.
pigeons: no they aren't pissy at mpex yet, until a bunch of jim carmers start needing help getting their terminals to accept it
mjr_: mircea_popescu: did you get my message? totally meant that the other way around
mircea_popescu: <pigeons> sounds like some help from #gnupg, don't mention mpex ;) << what, are they pissy @mpex ?!
kingofsports: oh okay they seem bot like
TomServo: pigeons: lol, why is that?
kingofsports: are all the things said by assbot actuall trades being made?
kingofsports: was a week or two ago i tried to do it.
kingofsports: dunno when i tried setting it up i had to type a message into terminal of my mac and it was unable to decrypt it.
pigeons: and this is nice: https://github.com/gabridome/mpex-sh/blob/master/mpex.sh
pigeons: get your terminal to accept it?
kingofsports: I assume people who buy from mpex just say it here in chat if I read the FAQ correct. Or they use terminal or something. Sadly I cannot figure out to get my terminal to accept my gpg key. I've tried couple times sigh.
mircea_popescu: there's pts run by namworld, ThickAsThieves, deadterra iirc
kingofsports: I will look into that, thank you.
kingofsports: are there any passthru sites for mpex by the way?
mircea_popescu: well now that may be problematic indeed. maybe he just finances himself or w/e
kingofsports: oh okay, I just didn't think he could fill 4000 BTC worth of loans in a month for serious applicants.
mircea_popescu: for that matter mpoe bonds have 10's of k's invested and pay about 5 to 10% historically.
kingofsports: I feel like if people were offered 1% it would be more of get your money in and out as fast as possible. I feel most HAD to know it was a ponzi.
mircea_popescu: kingofsports the interest isn't high based on the capital dood.
kingofsports: i just dont understand how tradefortress can pay such high interest. 2% is high considering he rec'd over 4000 last I talked to him from coinlenders.
kingofsports: that definitely is too unrealistic.
kingofsports: oh it was 1%, nvm then
mircea_popescu: so how is 1% a day similar to 2% a month ?
kingofsports: the whole ponzi scheme by pirate, high yield interest similar to coinlenders i think it was.
kingofsports: okay thanks
mircea_popescu: what pirate story ? if memory serves he's newer than the collapse of that
mircea_popescu: well... he's a little wild young;un, but i think fundamentally honest.
Duffer: i don't think he'll rip you off if that's what you're asking
kingofsports: I have considered using some of his products but after reading all about the pirate story I have my doubts.
kingofsports: question though, do you think tradefortress is legit/genuine?
mircea_popescu: i don't trust the us stock market anyway
Duffer: i didn't know kenilworth made it onto btctc is it just me or does that reek of scam?
kingofsports: i figured haha just wondered what people were investing in here these days.
mircea_popescu: kingofsports your enthusiasm is commendable, but srsly, this isn't really how it;s done.
kingofsports: just looking for some stocks to look into
pigeons: i'm glad you learned to stop taking advice from tv stockpickers and moved to irc bitcoin people
kingofsports: i know your all BTC stocks right now, but im kind of bear BTC atm so looking for a fiat investment. just looking for some stock ideas to look into myself for a long position.
kingofsports: so are there any stocks you like mircea that you would be long on? Only have a couple thousand available to invest and currently only have SIRI and LVS. thinking of selling SIRI if it reaches 4, I just don't see them growing rapidly like their stock has. I know this is prob bad reason. Their sales have been good but still nowhere near full expectations.
mircea_popescu: but i guess she enjoys living on the edge
mircea_popescu: very risk sensitive pots like that are usually invested in indexes/index funds.
kingofsports: and sold it and said here u invest them for me
kingofsports: she inherited a ton of shares of AIG
kingofsports: but i made her a couple thousand.
kingofsports: haha i hope so. I used to handle my grandmother's portfolio, she had AIG and after the huge drop she didnt trust anyone who claimed to know what they were doing
pigeons: then you'll make a great trader
kingofsports: haha yeah I figured. I'm still learning about all the different trading options, i understand options and normal buy/sell and long/short but futures I don't understand well yet.
mircea_popescu: it's the losers that wait to be 40.
mircea_popescu: it's a running joke you know ? the better fund managers get their first heart attack in their 30s
kingofsports: sorry i realized that after i typed it
mircea_popescu: and there's no u in mircea
kingofsports: stocks have been doing wel, i bought 1000 shares of SIRI couple months back at 2.8 and 3 years ago i still have my LVS i bought 100 shares of for $6.50, last i checked in the 30s or 40s
mircea_popescu: kingofsports the usual burnout is heart failure
kingofsports: lol im double majoring in accounting as a backup if after 5 or so years i burn out like many due in the finance sector.
kingofsports: finally in the same chat room as mirceau, congrats on the success of your site. If the entry wasn't so high, I'd be a trader with your services myself.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: Why do you point to August specifically, in that article?
mjr_: those were good times, i cannot wait for next years
mircea_popescu: ya cause she was thinking up what to write D:
mjr_: she is not like that at all (at least not around us) in person
mjr_: i was honestly really surprised to read her on the internet
Duffer: i just assume everyone is a dude on the internet, safer that way
mjr_: so most people def know if she was calling them an idiot
Duffer: lol no way to tell with mp
mjr_: possibly, but in this situation, i don't think so

PeterL_: The amendment, led by Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI), would stop the NSA's phone metadata program from collecting millions of Americans' communications records without suspicion of a crime. --- I really want him to run for senator and get elected
mjr_: so, after most people told him to stfu, he was whining
mjr_: nevermind the fact that it has been working since may, and no one cares what he thinks anway
mjr_: who for some reason thinks that because he can't benefit from quick liquidity, it won't ever work
mjr_: meant a lot, since she is a tough cookie
mjr_: she wrote something nice on the forums
mircea_popescu: nah ThickAsThieves. teh system is crumbling.
ThickAsThieves: this would just be the NSA throwing a bone anyway
mjr_: hey mircea_popescu: tell mpoe-pr that she is the best, if you speak with her
PeterL_: Xerxes32: what did the Republicans do now?
