mjr___: i wonder how hard it'd be
to link
to an irc channel from a web app
fiat500: man
they are managing deposits manually
mjr___: i have slightly less respect for any site
that
takes or uses xrp
mjr___: i need a
trollbox on my site
dub: heh,
thats me ruled out
mjr___: is crypto
trade different from cryptostreet?
fiat500: from crypto-trade
trollbox
mjr___: and we were working on it at
the conference, we pitched it
together at
the start of
the hackathon
mjr___: i was struggling with learning
this framework and couldn't figure out how
to only let users cancel
their own orders
mjr___: he is a lot better of a dev
than i am
mjr___: the guy helping me with
the app is here!
mjr___: and you can always
turn off location if you want
mjr___: close
the page you are done being
tracked
dub: well again im going
to caution against putting
targets on people, its one
thing
to have it active while in
the park
mjr___: dub: i am going
to look into
the layar
thing,
that could be awesome!
mjr___: including option
to notify
that user
mjr___: right now i am working on map
to show all orders,
then i want
to build a pop up modal window with more info about a specific order when you click on
that order
mjr___: by
the way, location SHOULD update as you walk around...not sure cuz i haven't
tested, but
that is how its built
mjr___: OTC would make a great glue
to join
them all
mjr___: also, i
think
that once you get a good rating system, OTC will want
to have access
to
these markets
mjr___: and i
think
tht could work very well
mjr___: one of my friends helping already has started calculating distances
to orders
mjr___: bitbuyer_m: i plan on (and
this is subject
to change) one server per city, cross linked
to a main aggregated order book
bitbuyer_m: And have just
the people
there be in
the micro market
mjr___: in fact, not
to
toot my own horn, i don't
think its
that easy
to adjust orders on any "real" exchange
bitbuyer_m: But it seems like you will need an incentive down
the road -- either micro market or fees
mjr___: and i
think
the app makes it very easy
to adjust your orders
bitbuyer_m: I guess
that seems like a short
term solution when people have gains...
mjr___: i
think
the winklevoss will show up
to
trade on monday (or maybe next week)
cole_albon: bit buyer I've done a handful of face
to face
trades, mt gox is a good price for both parties
typically.
mjr___: well, we hang out for
two hours
mjr___: but really up
to
the people involved
mjr___: maybe a percent or
two above or below
mjr___: most of
the
time its centered around gox
mjr___: they probably sell for more
than
they bought
bitbuyer_m: What kind of fees do sellers charge for in person
trading?
mjr___: besides, its easy
to send btc over
the internet
dub: the first android app on
there as NFC
mjr___: though
that is a great idea
mjr___: as far as i know
there is no bump
type app for btc
trading
mjr___: the cash is
the more obvious side of it
dub: inb4
they make a law against more
than 5 people standing around in a group bumping phones
together
mjr___: but stopping in person
transactions is pretty much impossible (see: war on drugs)
cole_albon: mjr lots of people show up every week
to high schools football. maybe
that would work in
the midwest
mjr___: not
to say
there won't be any
bitbuyer_m: No "street permit" required like
the African guys selling Louis Vuitton ripoffs?
mjr___: well, none of
them have asked us any questions and we aren't being quiet about it
mjr___: the rest of
the people are interested in
the idea, or are just looking
to buy or sell real quick
fiat500: and
they are all going
to
trade?
mjr___: it would help
towards building
that mass
mjr___: but yeah, i imagine its hard
to find a critical mass
fiat500: round
trip
to dubai is $600
fiat500: mjr___: doesnt work for me here in
the mideast
tho :(
mjr___: but i
think its
the easiest, fastest and safest
mjr___: anyway,
this is certainly not
the only way
to get bitcoins
mjr___: you know amex stocks used
to be called "curb stocks"
mjr___: cole_albon:
that is how i framed
the narrative for
the press, an homage
to
the beginning of wall street
kakobrekla: bitbuyer_m
they will be selling JesusCoin
dub: im just saying if it gets out
that
there have been standover robberies as a result of
the meetups it could end
the idea
cole_albon: federal reserve san francisco has great big front sidewalk
to do an adhoc. right where occupy used
to be
bitbuyer_m: Lets get
the Girl Scouts going door
to door
to sell BTC
mjr___: people who have heard about it but are
too lazy
to actually go
through mt gox process
mjr___: and have had people bring
their infants, which speaks
to how risky
they see it being
kakobrekla: that guy would have hard
time running away
mjr___: following people home...well
that is really on you
to be safe
mjr___: takes a guy with HUGE balls
to walk up
to a group of 15 people and
try
to rob
them in broad daylight in a public place
dub: well
there are cameras
there for one and its not
that rare
mjr___: i walk into a deserted place at 10pm where people KNOW i am going
there
to get cash
mjr___: you would
think
that people would
think atm's make no sense
mjr___: dub: and funny how
they still exist
mjr___: with at least 10 cops around
the park
mjr___: we do it from 5-7 for exactly
the reasons you guys have brought up
bitbuyer_m: I
take out 300 at ATM and don't worry Bout being mugged
mjr___: but i
think one or
two coins per buyer is what i expect
mjr___: i've done over
that by myself
mjr___: dub: similar
to how one person getting mugged in a drug deal has killed
the drug
trade forever?
bitbuyer_m: What's
the most you
think anyone would exchnge in person?
fiat500: dub: how would anyone know it was
tied
to
this
though?
mjr___: in fact, eriks
talk on bitcoin as money is awesome
dub: I
think one person gettig followed and mugged would probably kill
the whole
thing
mjr___: LOL, but
the worldwide system of local exchanges shouldn't be affected
fiat500: unless
theres a local plague >_>
mjr___: so we'll see how it goes with
these new ones
mjr___: anyway,
the mesh network of local bitcoin exchanges is
the hardest one
to kill
mjr___: i am kicking myself for not mentioning
the charts and graphs
dub: slip
them a roofie, get some rape and bitcoin in one go
kakobrekla: that gives me an idea... does any online shop ship skateboards on requests
to any addy?
