ThickAsThieves: i used to pro raid, it started fun, but became torture
aknap3: you mean that's not been done yet?
ThickAsThieves: but they are certainly selling something bitcoiners want
ThickAsThieves: I think likely the most successful bitcoin accepting business
ThickAsThieves: but they are the largest provider of TE
mircea_popescu: i wonder how they prevent turning into a defacto btc trade site then
ThickAsThieves: they need to offer more gift card types
ThickAsThieves: they take btc
mircea_popescu: nah, this is one of those "website-and-advertising" made to scam vcs things.
mircea_popescu: they don't take btc do they ?
ThickAsThieves: mp you should get Gyft.com to IPO with you

jcpham: i think i read shareholders can buy usb miners at a cheaper price and pay 15 days late
ThickAsThieves: feels like bitcoin exists mostly unto itself these days
mircea_popescu: that year turned out to be like 80k instead.
mircea_popescu: SatoshiDICE cleared something on the level of 15k so far this year. On yearly-adjusted figures (since “this year” only means about 6 months) and accounting for variance that would be about 25k yearly.
ozbot: What are the Bitcoin market drivers ? pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.

mircea_popescu: so far the one thing we're doing right is gambling.

mircea_popescu: nobody else can compete with the edges and with the PF.
mircea_popescu: contrary to what people think, the one place where we completely own irl is gambling.
jcpham: that's neat then
mircea_popescu: gambling has been so far the one area where bitcoin brought actual innovation.
ThickAsThieves: it just exists, for people who want to use it, or people that want to invest in taking money from them
ThickAsThieves: you dont have to care
ThickAsThieves: into the pool

ozbot: I am not a nihilist. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: any sufficiently delabree orgy is going to contain a half backed, sodomistic, slow and unpleasant reimplementation of basic lisp
davout: mircea_popescu: do it the rails way, don't repeat yourself x)

ThickAsThieves: it was largely a total pitch-fest
ThickAsThieves: and I harassed the speakers about their shitty marketing advice
davout: conventions have the advantage of letting you work uninterrupted
ThickAsThieves: i was just utterly embarassed most of the time
jcpham: for whatever reason i was there
ThickAsThieves: so there was a costume party
ThickAsThieves: i went to this marketing convention/seminar thing with a friend once, for his MSP company
jcpham: i would be the odd one out

ThickAsThieves: i'd go if i had any real reason to
ThickAsThieves: like 6hrs for me i think

ThickAsThieves: but no point in that
mircea_popescu: or to quote bugpowder "it's not on mpex"
mircea_popescu: but honestly i think it's stabilizing. cp risk is becoming significant in most everyone's eyes,
mircea_popescu: in that sense total wagered went from about 4k to about 6k
mircea_popescu: course it's up WAY more than the stat edge indicates.
jcpham: everyone likes to money just sitting
