mjr_: this is why
there should be brokers/market makers
dub: I should really ragequit
this job
ThickAsThieves: Suspected AMC Sock: "Is
there any plan
to implement a primary and a secondary market (within BTCT.co)? As it stands if a company releases an IPO, speculators can undercut
the offering leaving
the company high and dry with no funding. Havelock has a system for
this, are
there any plans in
the works for something similar?"
dub: only if you fuck
them up
dub: need
to actually execute
this shit
dub: DiabloD3: I has
the jesus idea around
that btw
nubbins`: you'd give
the lettuce pickers cotton lung
nubbins`: yeah, i
think it's an indirect exchange.
there are vents on
the outside of
the building with huge piles of white lint on
the ground beneath
them
DiabloD3: and
the waste air exits
the building without entering his grow space
dub: aquaponics is growing veg and fish at
the same
time
DiabloD3: if hes just heating copper piping,
thats fine
DiabloD3: nubbins`: but he'd need
to massively filter
the air if hes letting it into
the space
jcpham: i know how
to grow plants in water
DiabloD3: and ge
tthem
turned on
to bitcoin
DiabloD3: and start growing products for
the paleo community
nubbins`: anyway, as luck would have it,
the guy was from my city. last i checked, he rented half his warehouse out
to a laundromat operation, and used
the waste heat from
the dryers
to heat his grow space
dub: I want
to get in on
that
dub: even
then it will be bat shit in a solution
DiabloD3: they still grow it
the old school way in
the ground
dub: not some idiot
that can't fill every other order I make
mircea_popescu: ya but
then
they'd discover
tjhe spinach was grown in like a chinese waste dump
DiabloD3: mircea_popescu:
to be honest, I could have charged even more if I did
that
nubbins`: anyway, "who
the fuck wants
to buy lettuce from a wholesaler who keeps running out?" is what it boiled down
to
DiabloD3: you know what I would have done
though?
nubbins`: i
think his business was more geared
towards wholesale
DiabloD3: I assume he ran out of room for
trays
dub: a lettuce farmer needs
to have stock at all
times
dub: one has a unique product
that people will chew off
their fingers
to get hold of
nubbins`: he wanted
to renovate his ratty warehouse/grow-op. guess he wasn't good at saving money
DiabloD3: he should have been able
to rape wallets everywhere
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck would he need funding if he owned
the market.
nubbins`: yeah,
they argued
that his prices were
too low. guy had
the marked on fresh local lettuce cornered for 9 months of
the year, and he walked away empty handed
ThickAsThieves: some AM investor wisdom "we don't have
to raise
the price, we just have
to maximize profit. Supply shortages means
that we are failing
to do
that. So either we raise
the price, or we increase supply. "
nubbins`: Bitcoin mine collapses,
thousands feared dead
ThickAsThieves: "The second great monetary fiasco is something called Bitcoin,
the computer-generated Internet currency
that has captured popular imagination. Bitcoins are currently made available in a fairly constant stream using an encryption
technique
that replicates some of
the inconvenience of mining gold. "
mircea_popescu: best i can see it's
the socialist goons doing all
the crying.
ThickAsThieves: " So, as one
thoughtful analyst in my office noted, “Bitcoin is a schadenfreude-generating machine fueled by libertarian
tears and child pornography.”"
PeterL_: what's a chinese investor? Is
that a euphemism for something, or is it just a guy from China buying
the stock?
jurov: PeterL_:
there's a chinese investor
PeterL_: did MPOE make a good anouncement or something?
They seem
to be going up again?
Scrat: go visit
the altcoin forum
there's like 10 new ones every day
Scrat: they said
they will implement sexcoin derivatives
jurov: i'm not inclined
to profanity, but
they must have been scary anyway
jurov: lol i remembered when i had a job... got
two students
to work on my project
mjr_: so it is nice in some ways
that linus doesn't
take
that approach
mjr_: one
thing
that was funny about
that was
that you also had an article
that said
the way
that some of
the actual devs keep
those hanger ons working for free is by "respecting"
them or w/e
mjr_: in approach
towards mgmt etc
mjr_: very similar
to linus
mjr_: so, we see
the comparison
jcpham: i suggest monetizing any action
that's a pain in
the ass
jurov: my reply "you know what, havelock asks 1BTC for
this. so stfu."
jurov: haha, i kinda applied
this
to email i just got
to coinbr support "Oh, come on. 0.2 BTC fee (funds and assets) for cleaning up
the account? Or 0.1 BTC each month?
That's not fair. Can I withdraw all for 0.1?"
dooglus: interesting. I don't know why I immediately went
to "I'll pay for
that!"
mircea_popescu: you're a fucking masochist. when put on
the spot your brain shuts down and your only criteria becomes " what would hurt
the most
to do ? cause
that's
the right
thing"
mircea_popescu: i'll
tell you something you likely won't like
to hear, but i'm doing for all
the chitlins.
dooglus: I liked your blog post on
the nail, shoe, horse
thing :)
dooglus: I'm not a manager, don't know what I'm doing, do have
the 1300 coins, and don't run fractional reserve - guess
that's all?
dooglus: just noticed
the hilight :)

jurov: i have seen
that
too. and it caused unusual amount of butthurtness on ycombinator news xD
mjr_: I for one am of
the opinion
that people should be able
to say what
they
think and feel and if
they aren't smart or capable enough, no one will work with
them, if
they are necessary
they can do as
they like
Namworld: Gox never spoke a word about it. But
then again,
they never admit any issues.
Rulother: I would just use coinbase, haven't heard of anyone having
trouble with em lately
Namworld: Yeah, but
that's
the
thing, would be only Gox wires which don't go
through.
jborkl_: I do not
think it was ever sent, and GOX said it was never sent
jborkl_: With how fast it was credited back after I cancelled, and
that I have recieved wires
to
that bank 5 days before
Namworld: US banks would be refusing Gox wires, probably related
to
the case where
they got funds seized in
the US.
Namworld: Or admit
they banks were refusing
the deposits.
Namworld: Well
they never
told anyone else it was sent either.
jborkl_: they always
told me it was in
the queue
jborkl_: I asked GOX many
times,
they never indicated it was sent
Namworld: That's
the
thing, people were jerked off with generic answer, but calling
their bank,
they were
told
the bank refused a wire.
jborkl_: then
then I just bought BTC back and moved it off
jborkl_: I can
tell you it was never sent
Namworld: Could you
try
to call your bank, see if
they refused a wire? I'd like confirmations from more
than just random smucks in bitcoin-otc/bitcoin-anal
