thestringpuller: i've been throwing orders into campbx via python terminals
thestringpuller: Me too!

jborkl_: smoeone at GS had a new Ferrari to buy
asciilifeform: "IF twitter(whitehouse exploded) THEN short" is as easy to write as "IF twitter(whitehouse exploded) THEN dump"
asciilifeform: Bugpowder: the correction was probably algo-driven as well, considering the speed.
jborkl_: slush got hacked .took down the pool and servers
Bugpowder: plenty of trade algos scan twitter to drive their engine these days
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: maybe this time, but not the next.
mircea_popescu: i'd proposed the events are thoroughly unrelated.
asciilifeform: evidently a bunch of algo traders' idiot code does indeed care.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: "we've been hacked" = "somebody on the staff knew exactly when to short a bunch of stocks."
mircea_popescu: "we've been hacked" = "we're retarded and don't understand anything about computers, the internet or security"
mircea_popescu: stop racistly holding the president's baseless/meaningless generalisations against him!
mircea_popescu: i thot guns were bad mmkay.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if by "use" you mean "try to force others to use at gunpoint", then perhaps.
Namworld: [20:23] <mircea_popescu> i have a completely abstract altchain. nobody mines on it, nobody owns any coins, nobody bothers to read the codebase (which doesn't actually exist in written form anywhere)
mircea_popescu: or i mean krugman. or what's the monkey;s name
asciilifeform: I'm especially amused at the altcoin authors who add demurrage/inflation. Because clearly, everybody loves money that rots away.
asciilifeform: not that it is physically impossible to steal Bitcoin's Schelling Point status, but you would have to actually add something astonishingly interesting, vs. merely swapping out the genesis block and finding a catchy name.
mircea_popescu: mine is just as good as all the others.
mircea_popescu: but since userbase minerbase coderbase etc aren't the criteria by which we judge altcoins...
mircea_popescu: i have a completely abstract altchain. nobody mines on it, nobody owns any coins, nobody bothers to read the codebase (which doesn't actually exist in written form anywhere)
Diablo-D3: then I'll be able to afford to start dmc 2.0
Diablo-D3: Im hoping that btc reaches 500
Scrat: well, lets take advantage of it?
asciilifeform: altcoins are a mechanism for siphoning value from chumps, strictly of the volunteer variety. Sort of like SDICE.
asciilifeform: truffles: you can use all the altcoin you want, and nobody will hate you. just as nobody hates that guy who sawed off his arms with a chainsaw in a hardware store.
asciilifeform: Scrat: wait till he puts up an exchange and 'feathercoin' starts having a positive cash value... 'a sucker's born every minute, and two to take him,' etc.
mircea_popescu: " Litecoin being as mature as it is makes it hard to join in the fun so let’s start with a new coin that follows Litecoin’s tradition."
kakobrekla: donate them then
Diablo-D3: kakobrekla: its used to donate to open source projects
Scrat: fuck is this
kakobrekla: what does one do with those?
mircea_popescu: that was some small sattelite town neh ?
mircea_popescu: "Under the thinnest of pretenses, Boston was placed under martial law, with heavily armed troops patrolling the streets, pointing machine guns at civilians who dared so much as to look out their windows."
mircea_popescu: i wonder if it actually is the same dood with a split personality.
mircea_popescu: and they're both equally incapable of reading comprehension.
mircea_popescu: so there's not one but actually two different doods doing a bitcoin pixel page + bitcoin gem thing
Diablo-D3: truffles: Im that kind of people
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: is there a cabal that are manipulating bitcoin prices?
mircea_popescu: they could be descriptive and that'd be fine
Bugpowder: Academic papers on bitcoin don't make sense to me. If you had actually figured out something of value, why wouldn't you just try to profit from it
mircea_popescu: (ie, the iraq pre-1990 currency)
mircea_popescu: the 2nd is a 100px wide rendition of the "swiss dinar"/usd rate
mircea_popescu: well... ok, formally : it contains no tables and a total of 3 figures in 28 pages. the third is a 100px wide rendition of the "bitcoin supply schedule" in 6 data points.
Bugpowder: I haven't read the paper.
Bugpowder: I am sure Mark's build and voice are playing into this rally

Aurigae1: hey guys, what are the most interesting ventures in bitcoin world, i have browsed a bit on bitcoin stocks but most seem blatantly overvalued on marketcap.
