fiat500: murrkah the beautiful
mircea_popescu: sucks to have failed government after failed government after failed government huh.
mircea_popescu: it's kinda funny how many foreign languages teh mericans suddenly have to learn these days
fiat500: aint that some shit
jurov: but i was too lazy to read it all with my lazy russian
fiat500: so the russians, the chinese, and the americans
jurov: jcpham, there is a russian thread about "bitfury predzakazy" that means "preorders"
mircea_popescu: the thing bfl was going to do, actually done. by teh russianz/jooz/etc
mircea_popescu: ericmuyser possible. i'd be muchly curious to see a <1gh/w chip
ericmuyser: no but honestly I think he's got it, he'll announce within 2 days or has shared it with a "respected" member
mircea_popescu: ahahah fiat500 send them a pic of a quarter
fiat500: "Thanks for pointing this out! We'll work on fixing this bug when we get a change."
fiat500: so, re: the bug i discovered on coinbase earlier today, just got a response from them
ericmuyser: mircea_popescu: so now i know how to game you :)
mircea_popescu: ericmuyser i guess that's possible. tho i doubt it's him, because of the time
ericmuyser: if he placed some of the 95 btc bets then he almost breaks even
fiat500: i have about 20btc in 100TH, i should bet against him on bitbet to hedge
mircea_popescu: i guess he could be throwing 100 btc in the wind just for the fun of it.
ericmuyser: fiat500: he says he's only loosely affiliated, completely remote, just contracting for them
fiat500: especially in a context outside the forum...
mircea_popescu: it'll be something like that
mircea_popescu: anyway, that guy was talking of up to 22 peta hash under 1watt/gh
fiat500: one would think a company producing millions of dollars worth of hardware would be above calling out trolls on forums in public
ThickAsThieves: because he knows we like the drama
fiat500: lmfao... why do they need to name names?
fiat500: "Initiated by Bitfury, who placed the first Yes bet."
mircea_popescu: so i guess there's no publicevent.
mircea_popescu: actually that closes in about a week
ThickAsThieves: and the next next day i have 3 new PTs open
mircea_popescu: who could have known this o woe o noe
mircea_popescu: the next day mpex is there
mircea_popescu: whether they do or they don't, the major players will be of that sort. one day he says hi
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves bfl is not the point tho
ericmuyser: read the bible, why dontcha
fiat500: who the hell is friedcat anyway
fiat500: but thats not going to last forever
ThickAsThieves: then they add bulk discounts
ThickAsThieves: then they reduce minimum qty
ThickAsThieves: first they test top price
ThickAsThieves: I think you can see startegy in how they sell
fiat500: yeah thats absolutely ridiculous, but even if they sold them at 0.1btc (what i think they're really worth) they would still make a killing
fiat500: those miners are useless but if they can sell enough of them
ThickAsThieves: i dont think theyve sold the 1st production batch out yet though
fiat500: not a bad move on their part
fiat500: so a million of those would be 300TH/s total
ThickAsThieves: it will be up to AM to stay agile
ThickAsThieves: so many things will change
ThickAsThieves: i dont see 2015 affected share price in the short term
ThickAsThieves: and next-gen USB miners will use those chips
fiat500: ThickAsThieves: this is all short term still
ThickAsThieves: gen2 AM boards are already in the works
ThickAsThieves: and all these Avalon chip orders are months away
ThickAsThieves: if the choose to
ThickAsThieves: it will be quite easy for AM to front-run them
ThickAsThieves: for example, I believe BFL claims they have a few hundred boards coming in next week,
ThickAsThieves: do you think Friedcat and his team might be able to stay in front of the wave and dominate the hardware sales?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves perhaps. even so, in the mining market returns are made out of a capital amortisation part and an actual return part
fiat500: well played burnside, canceled my withdrawal and decided to buy goodies from btct instead
ThickAsThieves: i think the possibility that AM will be more than a flash in the pan is quite real
ThickAsThieves: you trollin me?
ThickAsThieves: that AM is no better than a mining farm of GPUs
mircea_popescu: im not presentin this as an absolute truth or anything
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves but for the record, this is very much dependent on where you draw the lines
fiat500: apple's cost of producing a phone is a lot higher than foxconn's cost
mircea_popescu: indeed not. it just markets the phones.
ThickAsThieves: so you are saying AM is no different than a GPU mining farm selling off it's used cards?
mircea_popescu: if you go by %s am sales are very small, moreso than gpu sales
ThickAsThieves: has there ever been a mining stock that sold hardware at retail?
ThickAsThieves: but they could lead that if they play their cards right
fiat500: i think mircea_popescu is saying you should take opportuniy cost into account
ThickAsThieves: i'm really not sure how much AM will depreciate over time
mircea_popescu: oic. nm then
fiat500: mircea_popescu: this is bitcoin, everyone is amortising over a period of time long enough such that cost is effectively 0
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> AM is still the best payout out there << not really.
fiat500: true, but then why bother with basic at all, it becomes a passthrough of a passthrough
ThickAsThieves: hard to beat
fiat500: this is what they call having more money than sense
ThickAsThieves: AM is still the best payout out there
ThickAsThieves: i have shares of all types
fiat500: grasping at straws really, spending 500btc to make 5.6btc per week
ThickAsThieves: yeah but it's silly to overpay
fiat500: it is in my best interest as an AM-PT shareholder on btct of course, if he buys from there
ThickAsThieves: otherwise i can give him a better price than AM-PT
ThickAsThieves: he can move em to BTCTC after
fiat500: he wants to do it on btct
fiat500: is the current proposal
ThickAsThieves: but if he's sold out tell him to make me an offer
ThickAsThieves: best place is jutarul at this point
fiat500: ThickAsThieves: he wants to buy 200 shares
fiat500: wont find out til june 4th i guess
fiat500: i wonder whats gonna happen when basic-mining buys those AM shares
fiat500: i thought 2011 @ full share price lmfao
fiat500: oh wait, its the 100PT
ThickAsThieves: dang thats a biggun

usagi: I'm just about to go out.
jurov: would that be horizontal or vertical expansion for koddos?
fiat500: conspiracy: ddos operated by the koddos people
jurov: that will finally put them out of bsnss
