cads: mircea_popescu: if you do not wish
to mention any details about it
that is perfectly fine
cads: ah yes, optinos -
the quantum unit of financial options.
cads: hey mircea, Namworld mentions
that you run an automatic optinos
trading bot. Would you mind attesting
to
the veracity of
that fact?
cads: hah, a nice yet
tractable jump
to BTC :)
cads: mircea_popescu, I
think I must have seen your name around
the BTC sites and community before
today.
mircea_popescu: ah. right, you said school earlier, what school is
that ?
cads: the correct answer is "I"m sorry, none of
them have PhDs"
cads: famous photography.
Titled "3 Graces"
mircea_popescu: i
thought im
the only one
that still remembers
that old codger
cads: both sprouting out of
that gorgeous butt
cads: mircea_popescu:
they look like conjoined sisters
cads: aka red neck capital of
the world
cads: tiberiusiv:
this is why I always
thought it strange
to find myself in georgia!
mircea_popescu: tiberiusiv amusingly, asicminer is using batch 2 chips
to make up for blown batch 1 and avalon is using batch 2 money
to pay for batch 1. it's like... all
the same company.
tiberiusiv: cads: most romanians immigrate
to canada
cads: mircea_popescu: are
the american romanian girls just all
the pretty girls from romania, or are
the girls even prettier back home?
tiberiusiv: and hoping profits make up
the shortfall
tiberiusiv: franktank: i
thought avalon was using batch #2 money
to pay for batch #1
cads: mircea_popescu:
thanks for linking me
to
the charter
tiberiusiv: mircea: so what do
the girls say about a multi millionaire using 15 year old CRT monitors and staying in littered rooms?

cads: if you
think we don't have
technogypsies you're wrong
mircea_popescu: MPOE has been
trading btc/usd options since august 2011,
there's published monthly reports etc.
mircea_popescu: or you mean,
the rage as
to what's a good something
to pretend you're doing
these days ?
mircea_popescu: Franktank really,
they do ? i've not seen a good start-up in months.
Namworld: I have a hard
time believe R&D part.
Franktank: Startups appear
to be
the rage
these days
Franktank: Just saw it recently,
they appear
to be banking
their initial revenue on incoming Avalon units (batches 2 and 3) and R&D on an ASIC chip
mircea_popescu: tho what he stated was "the current state of
the art". well...
the current state of
the art is 356`139 option contracts
traded
this month.
Franktank: Has anyone heard about
the new AMC IPO on BitFunder? Curious on other folks
thoughts
Namworld: He wants
to know how
to valuate options
tho... not an easy
thing
to answer
mircea_popescu: there's been ~2mn notional
traded
this month, should count for something.
cads: sounds cool,
thanks Namworld
Namworld: and not going
to be disclosed.
Namworld: hmm... perhaps you could ask mircea. MPEx's bot happens
to put bids and asks on options
traded at
the exchange. I am unsure how it is done.
cads: well, for example,
the Black-Scholes formula
tries
to give a price for European-style options.
cads: hrm, I should make it clear
that I want
to design valuation methods for BTC options
Namworld: I can't really see much more
that what's already available.
Namworld: Well
there's already plenty of options for BTC
cads: and
to discover what my best next action should be
cads: mostly I'd like
to hear ideas about how
the design of BTC currency Options will likely proceed
Namworld: Could you give some more details about what you'd like
to know exactly?
cads: I
think it may be difficult
to do
this absent a risk free interest rate, but I'd love
to hear someone's enlightened
thoughts on
that
cads: but I'm actually pretty ignorant about
the
topic and would love
to
talk
to someone
that could help me sketch out
the expected phases if a research project intending
to produce option valuation model
cads: I have a couple professors as school which I am prepared
to bug about how we may build options valuation on
top of BTC options
cads: hey guys, I'd like
to learn about
the leading
thinkers in
the BTC assets realm, and learn about
the current state of
the art
Namworld: (clarification notes: I'm getting
tired of
the price going wild)
Namworld: then on month 3, 0.01 per BTC,
the month after 666 per BTC
Namworld: I wonder where it would actually be if we calculated
the exponential curve's formula and determined
the expected price in 2 months based on
that...
Namworld: next month 1000,
two month from
then, 1 000 000

benkay: given
the state of
the crap
that is otc
tiberiusiv: mircea: romania needs
to be added
to
that list
mircea_popescu: "For
this
type of service (and most others) #bitcoin-otc is old and completely irrelevant."
benkay: they bring a new level of professionalism
to executing your movements
benkay: "I have people for
that"
mircea_popescu: you know
they have "Executive
toilets" in
the states now ?
mircea_popescu: "a good deal is rarely
time sensitive."
that's plain untrue.
mircea_popescu: don't
trust anyone from Argentina or Brazil; or Russia or Ukraine, etc.
jurov: AMC CEO/CTO, Kenneth(Ken) E. Slaughter -
that's
true name?
