MJR_: yes, but hopefully i can scoop up a big chunk of the float before they do
mircea_popescu: people have no cvlue. they'll learn.
MJR_: and in reference to monetarist...exactly
MJR_: almost 4 percent using one of the worst months as the test case
MJR_: its his tv personality that bothers me...he appears to be on meth...kinda disheveled
mircea_popescu: MJR_ nothing wrong with him as far as tv personalities go.
MJR_: i think he may be trolling me
benkay: ooh, care to link?
mircea_popescu: kinda served the guy, he never answered
mircea_popescu: like the stupid guy in point-counterpoint
mircea_popescu: i'm one of those perverse aristrocrats.
benkay: for an aristocrat you really scrape the barrel
mircea_popescu: i was mostly trying to figure out if your mom told you. seems not. whew.
MJR_: that IS how this became the best channel on free node
mircea_popescu: yeah lol, but why not continue something dumb into the ground :D
benkay: you and i both know this is a dumb conversation, you gave me something of relatively significant value recently
benkay: mircea_popescu i see an exchange there
jcpham: may have to trade in for a newer model
MJR_: or being able to say "i was in that back when they were $150"
jcpham: so they get nothing!
jcpham: all of the women i know are my wife's friends so i can't fuck them
MJR_: but they do enjoy being "part of the story"
MJR_: all i'm saying is that most of my friends could give two shits about 150
benkay: you don't give things away, mp
mircea_popescu: jcpham i only do that with women.
jcpham: they say thanks
jcpham: i give away $150 to my friends
mircea_popescu: yea, because a. they listen and b. they even comprehend wtf the words you just say mean
MJR_: don't trade it, for the love of god
MJR_: watch the ride, learn about it
MJR_: i'm saying, "if you saw it on the news, if you are interested, just buy one and hold it a year at least"
mircea_popescu: it;'s all they have
mircea_popescu: MJR_ OF COURSE THEY ARE
mircea_popescu: it's like putting a seedling through a sandblaster.
MJR_: well...i think if those people actually are worried about losing the ~150 then they aren't who i'm talking about
mircea_popescu: nothing's more dangerous for a new issuance than a large number of clueless investors.
MJR_: not sure how it relates though...
benkay: when i want funny, i go to the dog park and watch my dog hump other dogs
MJR_: we have to enjoy this volatility while it lasts, it won't be here much longer i think
mircea_popescu: o look, it broke through or what was it ?
MJR_: one million people buying one coin = one million coins on the buy side
MJR_: my philosophy is this
benkay: can't really say as I understand the value in paying much attention to the newly minted chattering classes on twitter, especially w/r/t high finance
jurov: but rly, i'm looking forward to some high-profile blogger getting caught in nether parts of bitcoin "security" market
MJR_: better traders in the early morning
MJR_: rather than cramer
MJR_: lol maxkeiser and shrem, i saw those on twitter
mircea_popescu: benkay that retrospectively, he sold some btc.
benkay: convert btc to silver holdings?
benkay: what does that mean, to park $150 priced BTC in silver?
mircea_popescu: is he leveraging the synergy ?
pigeons: usagi got a twitter
mircea_popescu: My trade idea earlier in week of parking a few $150 priced BTC in Silver is paying off nicely.
mircea_popescu: i told him to stfu, he deleted that tweet, now he's
benkay: for a nominally epic top you sure do enjoy exposing yourself to mental anguish
jurov: aka ganjix getting invited to CNBC
mircea_popescu: "@maxkeiser 1h Despite state-orchestrated massive DDoS attacks on BTC exchanges this week; BTC inching up toward record high territory." jesus twitter is just like reddit
mircea_popescu: "Hey @jimcramer can we set up a time to chat about Bitcoin? If your not convinced, I'll give you 5 BTC for free #Bitcoin #BitInstant"
mircea_popescu: i'd be worried if it's anything other than a second anyway
jurov: even if it would be a second or two apart, that is well inside requirement for this application
gribble: BTCUSD ticker | Best bid: 143.90000, Best ask: 144.00000, Bid-ask spread: 0.10000, Last trade: 144.00000, 24 hour volume: 70257.63553139, 24 hour low: 130.24303, 24 hour high: 144.94000, 24 hour vwap: 138.22468
mircea_popescu: meh, then again it would be.
jurov: the sigtime is same (down to seconds) as the one in stat
mircea_popescu: also way faster than 10 minute blocks.
mircea_popescu: this is way cheaper than 50TH/s
mircea_popescu: mpex solves it by the "fu, all times are construed to our best advantage" solution
mircea_popescu: bitcoin solves it by the blockchain solution
mircea_popescu: that you'll have to read up on.
mircea_popescu: whenever there's three entities moving payments on the internet there's this classical well documented problem of the doublespend.
mircea_popescu: ity's really the doublespend attack
thestringpuller: but how so? to steal what?
mircea_popescu: stuff like the pushing around.
mircea_popescu: guy down the road being massacred is no consolation to me.
mircea_popescu: the argument was "allows us to develop cheaper".
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu what is attackable though? i would think risk is on the pt ooerator not mpex
mircea_popescu: compare a stat's announced time with it's sigtime
jurov: so the time is there
jurov: ^^^ just threw my recent DEPOSIT response into gpg
thestringpuller: tells you time signed
thestringpuller: tells you time signes
thestringpuller: you can get timestamps from gpg i think
mircea_popescu: i don't recall that being a documented feature ;/
jurov: i think it is supported, hence no problem
jurov: no need to argue, if the push timestamp can be extracted from gpg signaature
mircea_popescu: jurov you'd also prefer timestamp on push receipts ?
mircea_popescu: which is why i say, i'll have this argued again
thestringpuller: i am scared for the next 3/4th of the month
mircea_popescu: jurov that may be workable
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: is that the call to put ratio?
jurov: not STAT timestamp. the dividends timestamp written in stat
mircea_popescu: that interval would then be attackable.
mircea_popescu: but his stat would necessarily be a little off the actual divtime
jurov: one from STAT, the other one from push receipt
jurov: no i understood topace asking for a possibility to compare mpex-issued timestamps
mircea_popescu: no two computers are on the same clock
mircea_popescu: can you rely on time for mpex matching havelock's server time ?!
jurov: in the Dividend statjson part
mircea_popescu: you can rely on time for mpex.
jurov: O.o so i can't rely on the time??????
mircea_popescu: we'd have to keep clock sync for isntance.
