unbalanced: Did he say how's their hyperinflation was coming along?
kakobrekla: is a bitcoin bug then
benkay: on the same topic, a local goldbug just got back from argentina, where he rented a car with bitcoins
unbalanced: ThinkAsThieves: similar to http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-03-20/jittery-spaniards-seek-safe-haven-in-bitcoins%23r=rss
unbalanced: benkay: sorry for the delay I was off reading - good idea!
jborkl: smickles, I just read Cython is included in Kivy for windows- So no need to download that separate
smickles: not the bloomberg one
ThickAsThieves: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-03-20/fleeing-the-euro-for-bitcoins-.html sorry of that was already linked
smickles: oh windows is so strange to me now
jborkl: also, I forgot to add- you need to choose to have Kivy open the mpexgui- right click and assign it to always open this file
jborkl: ok, remove that from the instructions, you are correct
jborkl: Let me move that , one sec
smickles: jborkl: Thanks for the instructions. The only thing is that you shouldn't need pympex to get the MPEx gui to work, otherwise I'd be breaking pympex's license
unbalanced: Ah, I hit http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/ and now I'm caught up on Taleb and Gore pumping Bitcoin.
deadweasel: that site looks like it took upwards of 12 minutes to make
deadweasel: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155036.20 is this guy serious?
Namworld: Imagine if price skyrockets to 1k USD a BTC during this which I expect to be a bubble and all BTC-BOND holders want to cash out right away? Would be expensive to buy and complicated to sell assets to cover them.
MJR_: I hedged by investing dollars to lend at bitfinex
Namworld: I was thinking of slowly buying back tho.
Namworld: Complete bogus speculation on the price anyway.
Namworld: Maybe then go and stabilize around 30 USD/BTC?
Namworld: But maybe a low of 15 USD/BTC at the low of the crash.
Namworld: yeah, not going to drop at 2.5 again I think...
Namworld: It's fueled by their massive amount of hashing power.
MJR_: see nassim taleb about bitcoins?
Namworld: I'm waiting for the price to go down. Even if it doesn't... well I have a fair amount of BTC even if not much.
billg: ^this is then fueled by what?
Namworld: Just that the current price is mostly fueled by speculation. It is my belief.
unbalanced: OTOH, if this keeps up for 100 more years, I may eventually be rich.
Namworld: Well I'm sure Bitcoin is raising in value, regardless of this exponential price rise.
jborkl: Succesful windows buy smickles- adding to the order book and cancel works alsl
unbalanced: Great, bring on the Ponzi headines.
Namworld: It's gonna burn all the little guys.
Namworld: The higher the price, the more interest there is from the general population.
Namworld: The simplest explanation is a bunch of newcomers hearing of the price going up wants in. Further raising the price... further attracting newcomers.
benkay: confuse the shit out of some people.
benkay: and make a bitcoin company with that name
Namworld: Occam's razor... those scenarios...
unbalanced: You look taller. Nice suit.
billg: lmao this nick was free!
unbalanced: Or is this surge caused by certain Russian "interests" getting their money the heck out of Cyprus?
jurov: ph, algore. wait till billg arrives
Namworld: It's ah me, Mario! Buying all the BTC at 1 coin = 1 BTC.
unbalanced: I hear he invented Bitcoin. Or was it the internet?
unbalanced: So is the Fed buying all the Bitcoins up er wot?
jborkl: ok, cool- I just got it working- took a break from yesterday.
smickles: jborkl: btw, i'm working on improving the appearance of the 'long list' sort of things like bids/asks and the overall market view
jborkl: you want me to email it?
smickles: jborkl: I'd love to have them :)
kakobrekla: like this
jurov: if today someone on the street asked me what bitcoin costs, i'll be liek
ThickAsThieves: it can take the abuse it seems

pigeons: wow, that's like $250/oz in fan club silver
ThickAsThieves: add up to something
ThickAsThieves: maybe those two notions combined
ThickAsThieves: they also mentioned that they might hold back on hashing in the future to try and reduce difficulty changes
ThickAsThieves: thinking out loud, is it possible asicminer was waiting to increase their hashing a lot until they had met their IPO obligation of .01? Now that they have pretty much reached that, they can start paying themselves half.

benkay: not one "Free the Market, Free the World" shirt.
benkay: let's just cement the tech community's reputation for misogyny.
dub: one of the top 5 most retarded forum users
benkay: wow the shirts on that site are uniformly horrid.
dub: just realised who the bitcoin pride guy is

benkay: send plaintext to gribble
benkay: eauth topace
topace: i should figure out how to auth myself with gribble again
pigeons: also flat out lied about the valuations. something sells for X and he says "book value" is X * 10 because mining is looking good

gribble: Rating entry successful. Your rating of 2 for user topace has been recorded.
pigeons: ;;rate topace 2
pigeons: the -1 was at a time when he was working to repay folks
pigeons: cause that's his problem, he's a fuckin nut
pigeons: i cant even succintly explain all the stupid involved for a rating
benkay: why the "seems flaky" instead of "fucked me hard"?
benkay: and you're not rating him for that?
pigeons: and i did do business with him , i bought his cdos from mpex and he proceeded to sell all the C out from the DOs and then told me it was impossible for cpa to go bankrupt when i asked him about it
benkay: has anyone done any work on distributing the WoT?
pigeons: i used to hold back more, but people have been scammed and i never said anything
smickles: it's a trust rating
pigeons: benkay: i disagree as does the founder of the web of trust
benkay: but *I think* that it's bad form...
benkay: pigeons, correct me if i'm wrong, but it's bad form to rate someone without having performed a transaction with them
benkay: i trust your read on the thing
smickles: I'll find the link for you
pigeons: ;;ident topace
smickles: benkay: basically, shit was hitting the fan with glbse, I asked him if he'd be able to pay. he said yes, then vanished for a while, defaulted and then said i was heartless
topace: anyone want to invest in https://www.cavirtex.com? i can do pre-release private invitations -- it goes public tomorrow.
smickles: in a forum thread somewhere
benkay: or address his failure to pay?
gribble: You rated user usagi on Thu Nov 15 13:23:03 2012, giving him a rating of -1, and supplied these additional notes: person strikes me a bit flaky.
benkay: where did he respond to defaulting?
benkay: just taking a while
gribble: You rated user usagi on Sun Nov 11 18:00:33 2012, giving him a rating of -1, and supplied these additional notes: defaulted on this: http://bitbin.it/nPDQRLME and tries overcome simple facts with appeals to emotion.
