ThickAsThieves: i can find DT's post about getting a job but
the OpenCoin specificty is either edited out or I read it elsewhere
peterl: wait, are you
trying
to cut my voice or activeminer's?
mircea_popescu: i imagine as we develop better controls for
the entire set of problems of
the gpg contract we'll be able
to bring
the hare voting franchise back.
mircea_popescu: because of
this sad state of affairs cutting
their voice by disenfranchisement is actually best for everyone.
mircea_popescu: bluntly put people are so fucking retarded it's lucrative
to create a paper copy of a successful asset
mircea_popescu: there's serious structural problems still with
the bitcoin financial market, perhaps best
tipyfied by peterl's remark above.
ThickAsThieves: I don't recall where DeadTerra mentioned it, at some point in
the last couple mos he mentioned he got a job
there, I'm
trying
to find
the post
to verify
CheckDavid: oh, I see, why don't you allow more
than half?
To avoid issues such as how
to enforce majority of share holders rights?
mircea_popescu: 40mn were in his acct after ipo completion, sitting
there
mircea_popescu: 50mn were not for sale at any point, as mpex contracts don't allow management
to sell more
than half.
CheckDavid: Oh, meaning 90 Million were not for sale, as
they were held by
the owner right?
mircea_popescu: all of it was on
the exchange. a large part held by
the owner.
usagi: They're doing hardware design, and
they're also planning
to do bulk chip sales like avalon
CheckDavid: So
that means only 10% of
the business was on
the exchange?
mircea_popescu: in
this case s.dice was split in 100mn shares, and
the ipo was 10mn. a month after
the ipo sold out erik got
the rest of his shares in his acct
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid
the contracts on mpex usually call for a specified ipo allocation and locktime
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu, what does
that mean?
That he put 10 Million for sale on an exchange, but eventually bought 2-3 Million for himself?
ThickAsThieves: I wonder when
they will snatch me from my bed in
the middle of
the night?
ThickAsThieves: i
think DeadTerra also works for OpenCoin if I remember correctly
usagi: If it's for real it might go
to 0.1btc/share
peterl: mircea_popescue: yeah, avoiding losers I have been up about 50%
the past
two months.
usagi: It might be good
to flip, if you can pick some up at 0.0025 and sell around 0.0027+, but I can't say if it's for real
usagi: Well I have my doubts about it but I can't deny
the community is in a froth over it
mircea_popescu: ah nm,
that's how many he sold. he held
the rest up
to 50mn
usagi: peterl what do you
think of activemining?
usagi: Right now I dunno if just holding BTC will do well in
the short
term, long
term I expect BTC
to go
to over $200 again
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid 10mn on ipo, something like 2-3mn after
that
usagi: Yes
that's right peter, but it is exceedingly difficult
to have predicted
that back in June
mircea_popescu: if one managed
to avoid all losers
they'd actually do pretty good in btc
usagi: I'm
terrible with numbers lol.
usagi: Or sorry,
thats an annualized figure
usagi: Actually, since BMF has paid about 15% in
the last month in dividends, it isn't really down very much
peterl: some investments are more certain
to lose
though, so I avoid
those
usagi: Anyways I'm working on a few
things
that will pump BMF, and by
the end of
the month I expect BMF
to be about even since inception compared
to other mining assets down 60% since june
usagi: PeterL If you're looking at investments, you do not know which investments will win and lose. If you are honest, in hindsight, you can only say
that since you were going
to buy /something/, it would have been better if you bought BMF
than, say, PAJKA.BOND.
peterl: no,
they will just keep making more and more efficient mining rigs
mircea_popescu: peterl deprived is probably
the one sane person
that spent
the
time on an usagi monograph
usagi: peterl well,
think about it; if you compare
the performance of most mining assets
to BMF what do you see? since june 13th DMS.MINING and
TAT.VIRTUALMINE crashed by more
than 50%. BMF is down about 10% or 20% I
think
pigeons: he' spushing for ripple
to
take
the rippling out of ripple
pigeons: mircea_popescu: yes he has been volunteering, added indents and otherwise rearranging
the source code according
to his grep
tool, he got mad at bitcoin devs for not listening
to him haha
peterl: I remember looking at BMF a while ago and saying: most mining assets are losers, why would I want
to invest in a collection of all
the worst?
mircea_popescu: a
title shared with a few others, it's
true, but nevertheless.
usagi: peterl It may behoove you
to ask me what my plans and goals are for BMF as well
mircea_popescu: pigeons ahaha listen
to
this : mrbiggs

PirateKitteh: I never bothered with bicointalk much until a few months ago. Many

PirateKitteh: *pours a drink for miningbuddy, because everyone should have one of
those*
Diablo-D3: yeah, but why wouldnt
they focus on bettering
themselves and
the world instead?
mircea_popescu: no, it's just
that some people chose not
to fritter away
their lives in
the great pop vat of nonsense.

Namworld: Hmm, I notice
there's a 1px border added
to ads. It kind of would mess with my round corner banner.
Namworld: I guess I'll
try with .5 for now,
to
test and
track results.
mircea_popescu: Namworld .5 btc min, otherwise whatever you want
to pay. you get added
to rotation for 30 days, get displayed based on % of
total.
mircea_popescu: mike_c ya well, by happy forumers
tend
to understand something more akin
to validating
them.
Namworld: What is
the cost
to advertise on BitBet? Ping kakobrekla and mircea_popescu
mike_c: not of course,
that
they are going
to make
the stock price go up every quarter.
mike_c: by happy I mean
they should keep investors believing
that 1)
they are working in
there best interest and 2) doing so effectively.
mike_c: late
to
the conversation, but, company management (in
the real world) *works* for
the stockholders.
that is why
they should keep investors happy.
